If any statement furnished by Lender for the amount of a monthly payment due was less than the actual amount that should have been paid because the then current Benchmark increased and such increase was not reflected in the monthly statement, Borrower shall make the payment specified in the monthly statement from Lender and Borrower shall be required to pay any resulting underpayment with the next subsequent monthly payment due hereunder.

Borrower agrees Lender shall not be liable in any manner for its selection of a Benchmark Replacement or the reliability, availability and/or economic returns intended when ▇▇▇▇▇▇ chose the then current Benchmark, provided that Lender makes such selection in good faith and the same is generally being applied across ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s commercial real estate loan portfolio.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, Lender may replace the current Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement and set a replacement spread determined by Lender pursuant to this Section 2.2.3(c) that (when added to the applicable Benchmark Replacement) shall be no less than the approximation of the return that Lender would have received if the Benchmark Transition Event had not occurred (the “Replacement Spread”); provided that in determining the Replacement Spread (i) Lender may consider the spread, any margin, continuing interest rate protection agreement requirements, and other economic factors that would be implemented simultaneously with the selection of such Benchmark Replacement for the purpose of preserving Lender’s, and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s intent relative to the economics of the Loan prior to the Benchmark Transition Event and (ii) Lender may give due consideration to (A) any selection or recommendation of a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of the then current Benchmark with the Benchmark Replacement by the Relevant Governmental Body or (B) any evolving or industry-accepted means for determining a spread adjustment, or method of calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of the then current Benchmark, in either case for U.S. dollar- denominated floating rate credit facilities primarily secured by mortgages on commercial real estate assets similar to the Property. Lender shall provide written notice to Borrower of any new Benchmark Replacement and the Replacement Spread associated therewith (the “Replacement Rate Notice”), which notice shall (y) identify both the Benchmark Replacement and the Replacement Spread applicable thereto (which shall be used to calculate the Interest Rate until such time, if any, as Lender determines that the current Benchmark should be replaced pursuant to this Section 2.2.3(c)) and (z) set forth the date such new Interest Rate shall become effective, which shall be on the first day of the immediately succeeding Interest Period or such other effective date determined by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and set forth therein. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by Lender pursuant to this Section 2.2.3(c) will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made its sole but good faith discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.
| 29 |
(d) Effective on and after the effective date set forth in the Replacement Rate Notice, all references in the Loan Documents to the Benchmark shall refer to the Benchmark Replacement, and all references to the Interest Rate shall be deemed to refer to the Interest Rate as calculated based on the Benchmark Replacement plus the Replacement Spread.
(e) In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, Lender will have the right, from time to time, to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided, however, Lender will promptly notify Borrower of the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes.
(f) Borrower shall promptly pay to Lender, upon written demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate Lender for any out-of-pocket costs actually incurred by Lender in implementing any Benchmark Replacement, including any interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to make or maintain the Interest Rate. ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s written notice of such costs, as certified to Borrower, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
2.2.4 Taxes.
(a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for, any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If Borrower shall be required by applicable law (as determined in good faith discretion by Lender) to deduct or withhold any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to Lender, the following shall apply: (i) if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.2.4), ▇▇▇▇▇▇ receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made; (ii) Borrower shall make such deduction or withholding; and (iii) Borrower shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. Borrower shall indemnify Lender, within thirty (30) days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.2.4) payable or paid by Lender or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to Lender and any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses actually arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Borrower by Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error. As soon as reasonably practicable after any payment of Taxes by Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.2.4, Borrower shall deliver to Lender the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably and in good faith satisfactory to Lender. Lender shall not be entitled to claim compensation pursuant to this Section 2.2.4(a) for any such Taxes which were incurred or accrued more than one hundred eighty (180) days before the date Lender notified Borrower of the change in law or other circumstances on which such claim of compensation is based. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Lender requires Borrower to pay any such additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.2.4(a), Borrower shall have the right to prepay the Loan without the payment of any Yield Maintenance Premium, Interest Shortfall, prepayment fee or other charge or penalty.
| 30 |
(b) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to Borrower, at the time or times reasonably requested by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by Borrower as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by Borrower, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by Borrower as will enable Borrower to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation shall not be required if in Lender’s reasonable and good faith judgment such completion, execution or submission would actually subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would actually materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (i) any Lender that is a “United States Person” (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) shall deliver to Borrower on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement, executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax and (ii) any Lender that is not a “United States Person” (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrower on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement, executed copies of whichever of the following is applicable: IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W- 8BEN-E, IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8EXP, and IRS Form W-8IMY, and, in the case of a Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, a certificate to the effect that such Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code.
(c) If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA and such Lender fails to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA, such Lender shall deliver to Borrower at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Borrower such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by Borrower as may be necessary for Borrower to comply with its obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (c), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
| 31 |
2.2.5 Change in Law; Additional Costs.
(a) In the event that any change in any requirement of law or in the interpretation or application thereof, or compliance by Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) hereafter issued from any central bank or other Governmental Authority which is not applicable to Lender primarily by reason of Lender’s particular conduct or condition (it being expressly agreed that the ▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith shall be deemed to be a change in law and/or a change in capital adequacy requirements, as applicable, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued):
(1) shall hereafter impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of Lender which is not otherwise included in the determination of the Benchmark hereunder;
(2) shall hereafter have the effect of reducing the rate of return on Lender’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which Lender could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by any amount deemed by Lender to be material; or
(3) shall hereafter impose on Lender any other condition and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Lender of making, renewing or maintaining loans or extensions of credit or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder;
then, in any such case, Borrower shall promptly pay Lender, upon written demand pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.2.5, any additional amounts necessary to compensate Lender for such additional cost or reduced amount receivable which Lender deems to be material as reasonably and in good faith determined by ▇▇▇▇▇▇, provided that, such written demand by Lender shall apply to all loans similarly affected by such change. Payments pursuant to this Section 2.2.5 shall be made within thirty (30) days after the date ▇▇▇▇▇▇ makes written demand therefor. Borrower’s obligations under this Section 2.2.5 shall survive the payment of the Debt. Lender shall not be entitled to claim compensation pursuant to this Section 2.2.5(a) for any increased cost or reduction in amounts received or receivable hereunder, or any reduced rate of return, which was incurred or accrued more than one hundred eighty (180) days before the date Lender notified Borrower of the change in law or other circumstances on which such claim of compensation is based and delivered to Borrower a written statement setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for calculating the additional amounts owed to Lender under this Section 2.2.5(a). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Lender requires Borrower to pay any such additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.2.5(a), Borrower shall have the right to prepay the Loan without the payment of any Yield Maintenance Premium, Interest Shortfall, prepayment fee or other charge or penalty.
| 32 |
(b) ▇▇▇▇▇▇ will, within a reasonable period of time after the officer of Lender having primary responsibility for administering the Loan becomes aware of the occurrence of an event or the existence of a condition that would entitle Lender to receive payments under Section 2.2.5(a) hereof, in order to avoid or reduce any increased or additional costs payable by Borrower under Section 2.2.5(a) hereof, to the extent not inconsistent with the internal policies of Lender and any applicable legal or regulatory restrictions, use reasonable efforts to (i) make, issue, fund or maintain its portion of the Loan through another office of such Lender, or (ii) take such other measures as such Lender may deem reasonable, if as a result thereof the circumstances which would cause the additional amounts which would otherwise be required to be paid to such Lender pursuant to Section 2.2.5(a) hereof to be materially reduced and if, as determined by Lender in its reasonable discretion, the making, issuing, funding or maintaining of its portion of the Loan through such other office or in accordance with such other measures, as the case may be, would not otherwise adversely affect the interests of Lender in any material respect; provided, such Lender will not be obligated to utilize such other office pursuant to this Section 2.2.5(b) unless ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees to pay all incremental expenses incurred by such ▇▇▇▇▇▇ as a result of utilizing such other office as described above.
2.2.6 Breakage Indemnity. Borrower shall indemnify Lender against any loss or out-of-pocket expense which Lender may actually sustain or incur in liquidating or redeploying deposits from third parties acquired to effect or maintain the Loan or any part thereof as a consequence of (i) any payment or prepayment of the Loan or any portion thereof made on a date other than a Payment Date, (ii) any default in payment or prepayment of the Principal or any part thereof or interest accrued thereon, as and when due and payable (at the date thereof or otherwise, and whether by acceleration or otherwise), (iii) the occurrence of a Benchmark Replacement and/or (iv) with respect to any Advance to be made pursuant to the terms hereof, if such Advance is not made on the date specified by Borrower in its request for such Advance due to a failure of Borrower to satisfy, or cause to be satisfied, any one or more of the conditions to such Advance (the amounts referred to in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iv) are herein referred to collectively as the “Breakage Costs”); provided, however, Borrower shall not indemnify Lender from any loss or expense arising from Lender’s or any Indemnified Party’s fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence. Lender shall deliver to Borrower a statement for any such sums which it is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.2.6, which statement shall be binding and conclusive absent manifest error. Borrower’s obligations under this Section 2.2.6 are in addition to Borrower’s obligations to pay any Yield Maintenance Premium applicable to a payment or prepayment of Principal and shall survive the payment of the Debt for a period of six (6) months.
| 33 |
2.3 Loan Repayment.
2.3.1 Repayment. Borrower shall repay the entire outstanding principal balance of the Note in full on the Maturity Date, and any other amounts due and owing under the Loan Documents, including all interest that would accrue on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan through and including the Maturity Date (or, if a Securitization has occurred or as required by any Secondary Financing Transaction, including the end of the Interest Period in which the Maturity Date occurs (even if such Interest Period extends beyond the Maturity Date)). Borrower shall not have any right to prepay all or any portion of the Principal except as otherwise expressly permitted pursuant to this Agreement. Except during the continuance of an Event of Default, all proceeds of any repayment, including any prepayments of the Loan, shall be applied by Lender as follows in the following order of priority: First, to accrued and unpaid interest at the Interest Rate; Second, to Principal; and Third, to any other amounts then due and owing under the Loan Documents, including, if such repayment or prepayment occurs on or prior to the Yield Maintenance Date, the Yield Maintenance Premium (unless otherwise expressly exempted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement). Any repayment made pursuant to this Section 2.3.1 shall be subject to payment of the Yield Maintenance Premium pursuant to Section 10.20 hereof, to the extent applicable. During the continuance of an Event of Default, all proceeds of repayment, including any payment or recovery on the Property (or any portion thereof) (whether through foreclosure, conveyance-in-lieu of foreclosure, or otherwise) shall, unless otherwise provided in the Loan Documents, be applied in such order and in such manner as Lender shall elect in Lender’s discretion.
2.3.2 Mandatory Prepayments. The Loan is subject to mandatory prepayment in certain instances of Insured Casualty or Condemnation (each a “Casualty/Condemnation Prepayment”), in the manner and to the extent set forth in Section 7.4.2 hereof. Each Casualty/Condemnation Prepayment, after deducting ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) actually incurred in connection with the settlement or collection of the Proceeds or Award, shall be applied in the same manner as repayments under Section 2.3.1 hereof, and if such Casualty/Condemnation Prepayment is made on any date other than a Payment Date, then such Casualty/Condemnation Prepayment shall include interest that would have accrued on the Principal prepaid through and including the last day of the Interest Period in which such payment is made. Provided that no Event of Default is continuing, any such mandatory prepayment under this Section 2.3.2 shall be without the payment of the Yield Maintenance Premium or Interest Shortfall. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, each Casualty/Condemnation Prepayment shall be applied in inverse order of maturity and shall not extend or postpone the due dates of the monthly installments due under the Note or this Agreement, or change the amounts of such installments.
| 34 |
2.3.3 Optional Prepayments. Borrower shall have the right to prepay all (but not less than all, except as set forth in Section 2.3.2, Section 2.8 or as otherwise expressly provided herein, including pursuant to the definition of Cash Trap Period) of the Principal on any Business Day provided that (a) Borrower gives Lender at least thirty (30) days prior written notice thereof (provided that the same shall only be three (3) Business Days in the case of (i) a prepayment pursuant to the definition of Cash Trap Period, or (ii) a prepayment to satisfy the extension conditions set forth in Section 2.8 hereof, (b) if such prepayment occurs on or prior to the Yield Maintenance Date, the Yield Maintenance Premium (unless otherwise expressly exempted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement) and (c) if any such prepayment is not made on a Payment Date, Borrower shall also pay interest that would have accrued on such prepaid Principal through and including the last day of the Interest Period in which such payment is made notwithstanding that such Interest Period extends beyond the date of such prepayment; provided, however, if a Securitization has occurred or if required in connection with a Secondary Finance Transaction, if such date of prepayment is a date on or after the Interest Determination Date in such calendar month and prior to the first day of the Interest Period that commences in such calendar month, Borrower shall also pay to Lender in connection with such prepayment all interest on the Principal then being prepaid which would have accrued through the end of the next succeeding Interest Period (such amounts, collectively, the “Interest Shortfall”). Borrower may modify, revoke or cancel any such prepayment notice so long as (A) Borrower provides written notice to Lender of such modification, revocation or cancellation on or before the date that is two (2) Business Days prior to the prepayment date set forth in such prepayment notice and (B) Borrower pays all out-of-pocket costs and expenses actually incurred by Lender as a result of such revocation, cancellation or modification, including any amounts pursuant to Section 2.2.6 hereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, if a Securitization has occurred or as required by any Secondary Financing Transaction, no prepayment shall be permitted on any date during the period commencing on the first calendar day immediately following a Payment Date to, but not including, the Interest Determination Date in such calendar month, unless consented to by Lender. In connection with any optional prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.3.3, the Mezzanine Loan shall be simultaneously prepaid in an amount equal to the Prepayment Percentage multiplied by the then-outstanding principal balance of the Mezzanine Loan.
2.4 Release of Property Upon Payment in Full. Lender shall, upon the written request and at the expense of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, upon payment in full of the Debt in accordance herewith, release or, if requested by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, assign to Borrower’s designee (without any representation or warranty by and without any recourse against Lender whatsoever), the Lien of the Loan Documents if not theretofore released. In connection with the release or assignment of the Lien, Borrower shall submit to Lender, not less than ten (10) Business Days prior to the date of repayment (or such shorter time as is acceptable to Lender), a release or assignment of Lien (and related Loan Documents) for execution by ▇▇▇▇▇▇. Such release or assignment shall be in a form appropriate in the jurisdiction in which the Property is located and contain standard and customary provisions protecting the rights of the releasing/assigning lender. In addition, Borrower shall provide all other documentation Lender reasonably and in good faith requires to be delivered by Borrower in connection with such release or assignment. Borrower shall pay all Taxes, out-of- pocket costs and expenses associated with the release or assignment of the Lien of the Security Instrument, including ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s reasonable out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees.
| 35 |
2.5 Payments and Computations.
2.5.1 Making of Payments. Each payment by Borrower shall be made in funds settled through the New York Clearing House Interbank Payments System or other funds immediately available to Lender by 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on or prior to the date such payment is due, to Lender by deposit to such account as Lender may designate by written notice to Borrower. Whenever any such payment shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the first Business Day that is immediately preceding such due date (notwithstanding such adjustment of due dates, Borrower shall not be entitled to any deduction of interest due under this Agreement, the Note or any of the other Loan Documents). All such payments shall be made irrespective of, and without any deduction, set-off or counterclaim whatsoever and are payable without relief from valuation and appraisement laws (if applicable) and with all out-of-pocket costs and charges actually incurred in the collection or enforcement thereof, including attorneys’ fees and court costs. Lender shall have the right from time to time, in its sole discretion, upon not less than ten (10) days prior written notice to Borrower, to change the Payment Date to a different calendar day and, if requested by ▇▇▇▇▇▇, Borrower shall promptly execute an amendment to this Agreement to evidence such change; provided, however, (i) that if Lender shall have elected to change the Payment Date as aforesaid, Lender shall have the option, but not the obligation, to adjust the Interest Period and the Interest Determination Date accordingly, and (ii) this provision shall not be deemed to restrict Lender’s right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes in connection with any Benchmark Replacement.
2.5.2 Computations. Interest payable under the Loan Documents shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a 360-day year.
2.5.3 Late Payment Charge. If any Principal, interest or other sum due under any Loan Document is not paid by Borrower on the date on which it is due (other than the failure to pay the Debt and other amounts due in full on the Stated Maturity Date), Borrower shall pay to Lender upon written demand an amount equal to the lesser of five percent (5%) of such unpaid sum or the maximum amount permitted by applicable law (the “Late Payment Charge”), 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; provided, that (a) with respect to any monthly interest payment payable on any Payment Date, Borrower shall not be required to pay the Late Payment Charge in connection with the first delinquent payment in any twelve (12) month period if paid within five (5) Business Days of when such payment was due and (b) with respect to any non-regularly scheduled payments, Borrower shall not be required to pay the Late Payment Charge in connection with the first payment in any twelve (12) month period if paid within five (5) Business Days of when such payment was due. Such amount shall be secured by the Loan Documents. The acceptance of a Late Payment Charge hereunder shall not constitute a waiver by Lender of any Default or Event of Default then existing pursuant to the Loan Documents. ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s failure to collect a Late Payment Charge at any time shall not constitute a waiver of Lender’s right thereafter, at any time and from time to time (including upon acceleration of the Note or upon payment in full of the Loan), to collect such previously uncollected Late Payment Charge or to collect subsequently accruing Late Payment Charges.
| 36 |
2.6 Interest Rate Protection Agreements.
2.6.1 Interest Rate Protection Agreement. As of the date hereof, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ has entered into, made all payments required under, and satisfied all conditions precedent to the effectiveness of, an interest rate protection agreement that satisfies all of the following conditions (such interest rate protection agreement together with (i) any extension thereof or (ii) any other interest rate protection agreement entered into pursuant to Section 2.6.1(d), Section 2.6.1(e) or Section 2.8 hereof, being referred to herein as the “Interest Rate Protection Agreement”):

(b) Borrower’s interest in such Interest Rate Protection Agreement has been assigned to Lender pursuant to documentation satisfactory to Lender in form and substance (such documentation, an “Assignment of Interest Rate Protection Agreement”), and the counterparty to such Interest Rate Protection Agreement has executed and delivered to Lender an acknowledgment of such assignment, which acknowledgment includes such counterparty’s agreement to pay directly into the Clearing Account all sums payable by such counterparty pursuant to the Interest Rate Protection Agreement and shall otherwise be satisfactory to Lender in form and substance.
(c) In connection with an Interest Rate Protection Agreement, Borrower shall obtain and deliver to Lender an opinion of counsel from counsel (in-house or independent) for the issuer of the Interest Rate Protection Agreement (upon which Lender and its successors and assigns may rely) which shall provide in relevant part, that: (i) the issuer is duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation and has the organizational power and authority to execute and deliver, and to perform its obligations under, the Interest Rate Protection Agreement; (ii) the execution and delivery of the Interest Rate Protection Agreement by the issuer, and any other agreement which the issuer has executed and delivered pursuant thereto, and the performance of its obligations thereunder have been and remain duly authorized by all necessary action and do not contravene any provision of its certificate of incorporation or by-laws (or equivalent organizational documents) or any law, regulation or contractual restriction binding on or affecting it or its property; (iii) all consents, authorizations and approvals required for the execution and delivery by the issuer of the Interest Rate Protection Agreement, and any other agreement which the issuer has executed and delivered pursuant thereto, and the performance of its obligations thereunder have been obtained and remain in full force and effect, all conditions thereof have been duly complied with, and no other action by, and no notice to or filing with any Governmental Authority or regulatory body is required for such execution, delivery or performance; and (iv) the Interest Rate Protection Agreement, and any other agreement which the issuer has executed and delivered pursuant thereto, has been duly executed and delivered by the issuer and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the issuer, enforceable against the issuer in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law).
| 37 |
(d) In the event of any downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the rating of the issuer of the Interest Rate Protection Agreement such that it ceases to qualify as an Acceptable Counterparty, Borrower shall either (i) replace (or cause the cap provider to replace) the Interest Rate Protection Agreement with a replacement Interest Rate Protection Agreement from an Acceptable Counterparty (with terms identical to the Interest Rate Protection Agreement being replaced, or otherwise approved by Lender in its reasonable discretion and the Rating Agencies) or (ii) if a guaranty was delivered in connection with the Interest Rate Protection Agreement from an Acceptable Counterparty at closing, cause the issuer to provide a replacement guaranty of its obligations under the Interest Rate Protection Agreement from another Acceptable Counterparty not later than thirty (30) days following receipt of notice from Lender or Servicer of such downgrade, withdrawal or qualification.
(e) On or before the Payment Date occurring immediately prior to the New Rate Cap Commencement Date, Borrower shall enter into, make all payments required under, and satisfy all conditions precedent to the effectiveness of a new Interest Rate Protection Agreement (i) with such new Interest Rate Protection Agreement having a term ending no earlier than the initial Stated Maturity Date, (ii) with a notional amount not less than the Loan Amount (after giving effect to any prepayment(s) made hereunder), (iii) that shall have the effect of capping the Benchmark at 6.00% per annum, (iv) that provides that the only obligation of Borrower thereunder is the making of a single payment upon the execution and delivery thereof, and (v) that satisfies the other requirements of this Section 2.6.1.
2.6.2 Execution of Documents. Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver to the counterparty of the Interest Rate Protection Agreement such confirmations and agreements as may be reasonably requested by such counterparty in connection with such Interest Rate Protection Agreement. At such time as the Debt is repaid in full, all of Lender’s right, title and interest in the Interest Rate Protection Agreement shall terminate and Lender shall, upon ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s written request, promptly execute and deliver, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, such documents as may be reasonably required to evidence ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s release of the Interest Rate Protection Agreement and to notify the Counterparty of such release.
2.6.3 No Obligation of Lender. Borrower agrees that Lender shall not have any obligation, duty or responsibility to Borrower or any other Person by reason of, or in connection with, any Interest Rate Protection Agreement (including any duty to provide or arrange any Interest Rate Protection Agreement, to consent to any mortgage or pledge of the Property or any portion thereof as security for Borrower’s performance of its obligations under any Interest Rate Protection Agreement, or to provide any credit or financial support for the obligations of Borrower or any other Person thereunder or with respect thereto). No Interest Rate Protection Agreement shall alter, impair, restrict, limit or modify in any respect the obligation of Borrower to pay interest on the Loan as and when the same becomes due and payable in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Documents.
2.6.4 Receipts from Interest Rate Protection Agreements. All payments made by the counterparty to the Interest Rate Protection Agreement shall be deposited into the Clearing Account and applied in the same manner as Rents are applied under Section 3.11 hereof
| 38 |
2.6.5 Failure to Provide Interest Rate Protection Agreement. If Borrower breaches its obligation to enter into, extend, modify and/or replace an Interest Rate Protection Agreement as set forth in Section 2.6.1(d) or Section 2.6.1(e), or Section 2.8 hereof, Lender may, but shall have no obligation to, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense and on Borrower’s behalf, enter into, extend, modify and/or replace an Interest Rate Protection Agreement as required pursuant to Section 2.6.1(d) or Section 2.6.1(e) or Section 2.8 hereof. Lender is hereby irrevocably appointed the true and lawful attorney of Borrower (coupled with an interest), in its name and stead, for the limited purpose of obtaining, purchasing and executing such an Interest Rate Protection Agreement and all necessary documents ancillary thereto, and for that limited purpose Lender may execute all necessary agreements and instruments, Borrower hereby ratifying and confirming all that its said attorney shall lawfully do by virtue hereof; provided, however, Lender shall not exercise such right unless Borrower fails to cure such breach within five (5) Business Days of ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s written notice of such breach. All fees, out-of-pocket costs and expenses that are actually payable by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ in connection with the entry into and execution of such Interest Rate Protection Agreement (including the purchase price with respect thereto and reasonable out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees), together with interest thereon at the Default Rate until paid to Lender pursuant to this Section 2.6.5 (collectively, the “Cap Recovery Costs”) shall be paid by Borrower within ten (10) Business Days after ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s written demand and such Cap Recovery Costs shall be deemed and shall constitute advances under this Agreement and be evidenced by the Note and be secured by the Loan Documents.
2.6.6 Non-Availability of the Benchmark; Substitute IRPA.

(c) On the date hereof, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ has delivered to Lender (and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ has countersigned) a notice in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto (a “Notice of Borrower Operating Account”), pursuant to which Borrower authorizes Lender to make all disbursements (including any Advances) to be made by Lender to Borrower pursuant to this Agreement and any other Loan Document to the account provided therein (any such account set forth in the Notice of Borrower Operating Account or any Subsequent Notice of Borrower Operating Account, the “Borrower Operating Account”). Borrower acknowledges and agrees that (i) Lender shall not be required to make any disbursements (or Advances) pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document to any other account of Borrower unless and until such time as (A) Lender has received a subsequent Notice of Borrower Operating Account executed by Borrower with the new operating account information (any such notice, a “Subsequent Notice of Borrower Operating Account”) (which such Subsequent Notice of Borrower Operating Account shall also be concurrently delivered to Cash Management Bank) and (B) Lender has countersigned such Subsequent Notice of Borrower Operating Account (and until such time as the conditions set forth in the foregoing subclauses (A) and (B) occur, Lender shall continue to make any disbursements pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the Borrower Operating Account), (ii) Lender may conclusively rely, without obligation of further inquiry into the validity thereof, on the Notice of Borrower Operating Account delivered by Borrower on the Closing Date or any Subsequent Notice of Borrower Operating Account received by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ thereafter, (iii) Lender shall have the right, without notice to Borrower, to contact the bank referenced in any Subsequent Notice of Borrower Operating Account to confirm the information provided therein and (iv) any amounts disbursed or advanced by Lender to Borrower pursuant to the Notice of Borrower Operating Account or most recent Subsequent Notice of Borrower Operating Account, as applicable, received by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall, from and after the date such amounts are placed on the wire by Lender, be deemed to be disbursed or advanced to Borrower.

Borrower shall also promptly deliver such a credit card direction letter to any new credit card companies with which Borrower or Manager enters into merchant’s or other credit card agreements with respect to the Property.
3.2 Intentionally Left Blank.
3.3 Real Estate Tax Subaccount. Borrower shall pay to Lender (i) $[***] on the date hereof on account of Real Estate Taxes and (ii) on each Payment Date one-twelfth (1/12) of the Real Estate Taxes that Lender reasonably and in good faith estimates will be payable during the next twelve (12) months (initially $[***] per month) in order to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Real Estate Taxes at least thirty (30) days prior to the dates such Real Estate Taxes would become delinquent, or such earlier date if Borrower elects to pay such Real Estate Taxes in advance in order to receive any applicable discounts. Such amounts will be transferred by Lender to a Subaccount (the “Real Estate Tax Subaccount”). Provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender will (a) apply funds in the Real Estate Tax Subaccount to payments of Real Estate Taxes required to be made by Borrower pursuant to Section 5.2 hereof, provided that Borrower has promptly supplied Lender with notices of all Real Estate Taxes due, or (b) reimburse Borrower for such amounts upon presentation of evidence of payment; subject, however, to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s right to contest Real Estate Taxes in accordance with Section 5.2 hereof. 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, 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 Lender determines in its reasonable and good faith judgment that the funds in the Real Estate Tax Subaccount will be insufficient to pay (or in excess of) the Real Estate Taxes next coming due, Lender may increase (or decrease) the monthly contribution required to be made by Borrower to the Real Estate Tax Subaccount. If the amount of the funds in the Real Estate Tax Subaccount shall exceed the amount that Lender reasonably and in good faith determines is necessary in order to accumulate sufficient funds to pay all Real Estate Taxes as provided in this Section 3.3, Lender shall (A) credit such excess against future required deposits into the Real Estate Tax Subaccount on a dollar for dollar basis, and (B) adjust the required ongoing monthly deposits into the Real Estate Tax Subaccount if necessary so that the Real Estate Tax Subaccount shall not be overfunded in the future.
| 51 |
3.4 Insurance Subaccount. (a) Borrower shall pay to Lender (i) $0.00 on the date hereof on account of Insurance Premiums and (ii) on each Payment Date one-twelfth (1/12) of the Insurance Premiums that Lender reasonably and in good faith estimates will be payable (initially $0.00 per month) for the renewal of the coverage afforded by the Policies upon the expiration thereof in order to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Insurance Premiums at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Policies. Such amounts will be transferred by Lender to a Subaccount (the “Insurance Subaccount”). Provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender will (a) apply funds in the Insurance Subaccount to payments of Insurance Premiums required to be made by Borrower pursuant to Section 7.1 hereof, provided that Borrower has promptly supplied Lender with notices of all Insurance Premiums due, or (b) reimburse Borrower for such amounts upon presentation of evidence of payment. In making any payment relating to Insurance Premiums, Lender may do so according to any bill, statement or estimate procured from the insurer or agent, without inquiry into the accuracy of such bill, statement or estimate. If Lender determines in its reasonable and good faith judgment that the funds in the Insurance Subaccount will be insufficient to pay (or in excess of) the Insurance Premiums next coming due, Lender may increase (or decrease) the monthly contribution required to be made by Borrower to the Insurance Subaccount. If the amount of the funds in the Insurance Subaccount shall exceed the amount that Lender reasonably and in good faith determines is necessary in order to accumulate sufficient funds to pay all Insurance Premiums as provided in this Section 3.4, Lender shall (A) credit such excess against future required deposits into the Insurance Subaccount on a dollar for dollar basis, and (B) adjust the required ongoing monthly deposits into the Insurance Subaccount if necessary so that the Insurance Subaccount shall not be overfunded in the future.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s obligation to make deposits into the Insurance Subaccount in accordance with Section 3.4(a) hereof on account of Insurance Premiums will be suspended during any time that an Acceptable Blanket Policy is in effect with respect to all of the Policies required pursuant to Section 7.1.1 hereof provided that Borrower provides Lender with written evidence reasonably and in good faith satisfactory to Lender of the (i) renewal of the applicable Acceptable Blanket Policy no later than five (5) days after the expiration of any Acceptable Blanket Policy and (ii) payment of the applicable Insurance Premiums and related certificates of insurance no later than thirty (30) days after the expiration of any Acceptable Blanket Policy. Lender hereby acknowledges receipt of an Acceptable Blanket Policy from Borrower as of the date hereof.

(a) Borrower shall pay to Lender (i) $[***] on the date hereof and (ii) on each Payment Date an amount initially equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the product obtained by multiplying $[***] by the aggregate number of residential units at the Property (initially $[***] per month). Lender will transfer such amounts into a Subaccount (the “Capital Expense Subaccount”).
(b) Provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender shall disburse funds held in the Capital Expense Subaccount to Borrower, within ten (10) days after the delivery by Borrower to Lender of a request therefor (but not more often than once per month), in increments of at least $[***] (or such lesser amount equal to the remaining balance of the Capital Expense Subaccount) provided that (i) such disbursement is for an Approved Capital Expense; (ii) if the amount of such requested disbursement is greater than $[***], Lender shall have (if it desires) verified (by an inspection conducted at Borrower’s expense) performance of the work associated with such Approved Capital Expense; and (iii) the request for disbursement is accompanied by (A) an Officer’s Certificate certifying (1) that such funds will be used to pay or reimburse Borrower for Approved Capital Expenses and a description thereof, (2) that all outstanding trade payables relating to such Approved Capital Expenses (other than those to be paid from the requested disbursement or those constituting Permitted Indebtedness) have been paid in full (or, if paid for in progress payments, are or will be, paid current) other than any applicable retention amount, (3) that the same has not been the subject of a previous disbursement, and (4) that all previous disbursements have been used to pay the previously identified Approved Capital Expenses, (B) lien waivers (which shall be Unconditional Lien Waiver for amounts previously paid and may be a Conditional Lien Waiver for amounts to be paid with the proposed Advance, provided that no later than the earlier of the next Advance request and thirty (30) days after such Advance, Borrower delivers to Lender an Unconditional Lien Waiver to replace such Conditional Lien Waiver) or other evidence of payment satisfactory to Lender unless the requested disbursement shall be used to pay for such Approved Capital Expense directly (and not reimburse Borrower for the Approved Capital Expense previously paid for by Borrower), in which case Borrower shall be required to deliver such items with respect to the Approved Capital Expense which was the subject of the previous disbursement and conditional lien waivers with respect to the requested items to be paid for from the requested disbursement, (C) at Lender’s option, if the amount of such requested disbursement is greater than $[***] (or if the amount disbursed since the last title search is greater than $[***] in the aggregate), a title search for the Property indicating that (other than Permitted Encumbrances) it is free from all Liens not previously approved by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and (D) such other evidence as Lender shall reasonably and in good faith request that the Approved Capital Expenses at the Property to be funded by the requested disbursement have been completed and are paid for or will be paid upon such disbursement to Borrower.
| 53 |
3.6 Rollover Subaccount. Borrower shall deposit with Lender into a Subaccount (the “Rollover Subaccount”) all Lease Event Payments received by Borrower. Any Lease Event Payments and any other funds deposited into the Rollover Subaccount from the Security Deposit Subaccount in accordance with Section 3.8 hereof shall be applied: (a) provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, at Borrower’s election, to either (i) subject to the rights of Borrower under the applicable Lease, rent arrearages under such Lease (or to cure any other tenant default under such Lease), or (ii) if applicable, funding any Approved Leasing Expenses which are anticipated to occur in connection with the re-tenanting of the space under the Lease that was the subject of a termination (in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 2.9.1 hereof as if such amounts were Advances for Approved Leasing Expenses), or (b) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, at Lender’s election, toward the uses described in clause (a) above or to debt service shortfalls that may arise as a result of a termination of such Lease (and Borrower hereby authorizes Lender to disburse to itself any such amounts without any request therefor by Borrower).
3.7 Casualty/Condemnation Subaccount. Borrower shall pay, or cause to be paid, to Lender all Proceeds or Awards (that are not to be paid to and retained directly by Borrower pursuant to this Agreement) due to any Casualty or Condemnation to be transferred to a Subaccount (the “Casualty/Condemnation Subaccount”) in accordance with the provisions of Article 7 hereof. All amounts in the Casualty/Condemnation Subaccount shall be disbursed in accordance with the provisions of Article 7 hereof.
3.8 Security Deposit Subaccount. Borrower shall keep and hold all security deposits under Leases in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements and at a separately designated account under ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s control at the Clearing Bank (and in the case of a letter of credit, assigned with full power of attorney and executed sight drafts to Lender) so that the security deposits shall not be commingled with any other funds of Borrower. After the occurrence of an Event of Default, Borrower shall, upon ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s written request, if permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, turn over to Lender the security deposits (and any interest theretofore earned thereon) under Leases, to be held by Lender in a Subaccount (the “Security Deposit Subaccount”) subject to the terms of the Leases; and upon any waiver of such Event of Default by Lender, all funds held in the Security Deposit Subaccount shall be returned to the separately designated account under ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s control at the Clearing Bank. Security deposits held in the Security Deposit Subaccount will be released by Lender upon notice from Borrower together with such evidence as Lender may reasonably and in good faith request that such security deposit (a) is required to be returned to a tenant pursuant to the terms of a Lease or (b) may be applied as Rent or otherwise retained by Borrower pursuant to the rights of Borrower under the applicable Lease, in which event such security deposit shall be deposited into the Rollover Subaccount. Any letter of credit or other instrument that Borrower receives in lieu of a cash security deposit under any Lease entered into after the date hereof shall (i) be maintained in full force and effect in the full amount unless replaced by a cash deposit as hereinabove described and (ii) if permitted pursuant to any Legal Requirements, name Lender as payee or mortgagee thereunder (or at Lender’s option, be fully assignable to Lender).
| 54 |
3.9 Cash Collateral Subaccount. If a Cash Trap Period shall have commenced, then on the immediately succeeding Payment Date (or, if a Cash Trap Period commences on a Payment Date, then on such Payment Date) and on each Payment Date thereafter during the continuance of such Cash Trap Period, all Available Cash shall be paid to Lender, which amounts shall be transferred by Lender into a Subaccount (the “Cash Collateral Subaccount”) as cash collateral for the Debt. Any funds in the Cash Collateral Subaccount and not previously disbursed or applied shall be deposited into the Borrower Operating Account upon the termination of such Cash Trap Period. Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default, to apply all sums then on deposit in the Cash Collateral Subaccount in such order and in such manner as Lender shall elect in its sole and absolute discretion, including to make a prepayment of Principal (together with the Yield Maintenance Premium, if applicable). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender shall make funds on deposit in the Cash Collateral Subaccount available for disbursement to Borrower pursuant to Section 3.11(a)(v) hereof for the payment of Emergency Expenditures and Approved Additional Operating Expenses to the extent that Borrower has otherwise satisfied the conditions set forth herein with respect to Emergency Expenditures and Approved Additional Operating Expenses and provided that Borrower provides a written request to Lender requesting the same at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the next Payment Date.
3.10 Grant of Security Interest; Application of Funds. As security for payment of the Debt and the performance by Borrower of all other terms, conditions and provisions of the Loan Documents, Borrower hereby collaterally pledges and assigns to Lender, and grants to Lender a security interest in, all Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to all Rents and in and to all payments to or monies held in the Clearing Account, the Cash Management Account, and all Subaccounts created pursuant to this Agreement (collectively, the “Cash Management System Accounts”). Borrower hereby grants to Lender a continuing security interest in, and agrees to hold in trust for the benefit of Lender, all Rents in its possession prior to the (a) payment of such Rents to Lender or (b) deposit of such Rents into the Clearing Account or the Cash Management Account. Borrower shall not, without obtaining the prior written consent of ▇▇▇▇▇▇, further pledge, assign or grant any security interest in any Cash Management System Account, or permit any Lien to attach thereto, or any levy to be made thereon, or any UCC Financing Statements, except those naming Lender as the secured party, to be filed with respect thereto. This Agreement is, among other things, intended by the parties to be a security agreement for purposes of the UCC. During the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may apply any sums in any Cash Management System Account in any order and in any manner as Lender shall elect in ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s discretion without seeking the appointment of a receiver and without adversely affecting the rights of Lender to foreclose the Lien of the Security Instrument or exercise its other rights under the Loan Documents. Cash Management System Accounts shall not constitute trust funds and may be commingled with other monies held by ▇▇▇▇▇▇. All interest which accrues on the funds in any Cash Management System Account shall not be added to or become a part thereof and shall be the sole property of and shall be paid to Lender. Upon repayment in full of the Debt, all remaining funds in the Subaccounts, if any, shall be promptly deposited into the Borrower Operating Account.
3.11 Property Cash Flow Allocation.
(a) So long as no Event of Default is then continuing (otherwise Section 3.11(e) hereof shall govern), all amounts on deposit in the Cash Management Account during the immediately preceding Interest Period (including any amounts on deposit in the Cash Management Account on account of any Debt Service and Carry Advances) shall be applied on each Payment Date as follows in the following order of priority:
(i) First, to make payments into the Real Estate Tax Subaccount as required under Section 3.3 hereof;
| 55 |
(ii) Second, to make payments into the Insurance Subaccount as required under Section 3.4 hereof;
(iii) Third, to pay the monthly portion of the fees charged by Cash Management Bank in accordance with the Cash Management Agreement;
(iv) Fourth, to Lender to pay the interest due on such Payment Date (plus, if applicable, interest at the Default Rate and all other amounts, other than those described under other clauses of this Section 3.11(a), then due to Lender under the Loan Documents);
(v) Fifth, funds in an amount equal to the Monthly Operating Expense Budgeted Amount and any then-current Approved Additional Operating Expenses shall be deposited into the Borrower Operating Account;
(vi) Sixth, to make payments into the Capital Expense Subaccount as required under Section 3.5 hereof;
(vii) Seventh, to make payments into the Rollover Subaccount as required under Section 3.6(a) hereof;
(viii) Eighth, if the Mezzanine Loan (or any portion thereof) is outstanding, to make payments in the amount of the Monthly Mezzanine Debt Service Payment Amount to Mezzanine Lender in accordance with the Mezzanine Lender Payment Instruction applicable to such Payment Date; and
(ix) Lastly, all amounts remaining after payment of the amounts set forth in the foregoing clauses (the “Available Cash”), if any, shall be applied on such Payment Date as follows:
(A) during the continuance of a Cash Trap Period, deposited into the Cash Collateral Subaccount in accordance with Section 3.9 hereof; or
(B) so long as no Cash Trap Period is then continuing: (y) if Mezzanine Lender has delivered notice to Lender that a “Default” or “Event of Default” (as defined in the Mezzanine Loan Agreement) has occurred with respect to the Mezzanine Loan, deposited into the Mezzanine Account established under the Mezzanine Loan, otherwise (z) deposited into the Borrower Operating Account.
| 56 |
(b) The failure of Borrower to make all of the payments required under Section 3.11(a) hereof other than with respect to payment of the Monthly Mezzanine Debt Service Payment Amount and deposits into the Cash Collateral Subaccount in full on each Payment Date shall constitute an Event of Default under this Agreement; provided, however, (i) if adequate funds are available in the Cash Management Account for such payments and Borrower has satisfied the conditions for disbursement thereof, the failure by Cash Management Bank to allocate (or the failure by Lender to direct or authorize the Cash Management Bank to allocate) such funds into the appropriate Subaccounts shall not constitute an Event of Default or result in the imposition of a Late Payment Charge, and (ii) with respect to clauses (v) and (ix) above, it shall only be an Event of Default under this Agreement if such payments cannot be made as a result of any Borrower Party (Recourse)’s interference with Cash Management Bank’s distributions from the Cash Management Account.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, so long as any Loan proceeds remain un-advanced pursuant to the terms hereof with respect to Debt Service and Carry Advances, only Rents and Debt Service and Carry Advances may be used to pay any amounts pursuant to Sections 3.11(a)(i) through (vii) hereof, and Borrower shall not have the right or be permitted to (i) fund same with its owns funds or equity or (ii) deposit its own funds into the Clearing Account or any Cash Management System Account to pay for same.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Loan Documents, and/or the Mezzanine Loan Documents, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, as to any clause or provision contained in this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and/or the Mezzanine Loan Documents to the effect that payments, distributions, or other similar effect are to be made by or on behalf of Borrower to Mezzanine Lender or applied to the Mezzanine Loan, such clause or provision shall be deemed to mean, and shall be construed as meaning, that Lender shall pay to Borrower, and Borrower shall then promptly distribute to Mezzanine Borrower, its sole member, pursuant to and in accordance with the organizational documents of Borrower and applicable law, any such amounts, which distribution shall be promptly payable to Mezzanine Lender, and any such clause or provision shall not be construed as meaning that Borrower is acting on behalf of, holding out its credit for, or paying the obligations of, Mezzanine Borrower, directly or in any other manner that would violate any of the special purpose entity covenants contained in the Loan Agreement or other similar covenants contained in Borrower’s organizational documents.
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 3.11 or elsewhere in the Loan Documents, during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may apply all Rents deposited into the Cash Management Account, all funds on deposit in the Subaccounts and other proceeds of repayment in such order and in such manner as Lender shall elect, including towards repayment of the Debt and/or towards payment of any amounts which pursuant to any of the Loan Documents Borrower is required to pay to third parties. ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s right to withdraw and apply any of the foregoing funds shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies provided to Lender under the Loan Documents.
| 57 |
3.12 Cash Trap Cure Subaccount. If Borrower has elected pursuant to clause (ii) of the definition of Cash Trap Period herein to deliver to Lender (a) the Cash Trap Cure Cash Collateral, the same shall be deposited into a Subaccount or (b) the Cash Trap Cure Letter of Credit, Lender shall hold any such Cash Trap Cure Letter of Credit in accordance with this Section 3.12 and Section 3.13 hereof (each of the Cash Trap Cure Cash Collateral and the Cash Trap Cure Letter of Credit, as applicable, the “Cash Trap Cure Collateral”). Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right, at its option, to apply such the Cash Trap Cure Cash Collateral or draw on any such Cash Trap Cure Letter of Credit and apply such amount to payment of the Debt in such order, proportion or priority as Lender shall elect in its sole and absolute discretion, including to make a prepayment of Principal. With respect to any Cash Trap Cure Collateral, upon Lender’s reasonable determination that as of the two (2) most recent Calculation Dates the Mortgage Loan Debt Yield equals or exceeds [***]% and the Debt Service Coverage Ratio equals or exceeds [***] (in each case, without taking into consideration any Cash Trap Cure Collateral for purposes of calculating the Mortgage Loan Debt Yield or the Debt Service Coverage Ratio), provided that no Event of Default exists and is then continuing, Lender shall return any remaining Cash Trap Cure Collateral, together with, if applicable, the original Cash Trap Cure Letter of Credit to Borrower.
3.13 Letters of Credit. Any Letter of Credit delivered to Lender in order to terminate a Cash Trap Period in accordance with the definition of “Cash Trap Period” shall be held by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ as additional collateral for the Loan. Lender shall have the right to draw on any Letter of Credit in full: (a) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default; (b) if ▇▇▇▇▇▇ has received a written notice from the issuing bank that the applicable Letter of Credit will not be renewed and a substitute Letter of Credit is not provided at least five (5) Business Days prior to the date on which the outstanding Letter of Credit is scheduled to expire; (c) upon receipt of written notice from the issuing bank that the Letter of Credit will be terminated and a substitute Letter of Credit is not provided at least five (5) Business Days prior to the date on which the outstanding Letter of Credit is scheduled to terminate; or (d) if ▇▇▇▇▇▇ has received written notice that the bank issuing the Letter of Credit shall cease to be an Eligible Institution and Borrower shall not have replaced such Letter of Credit with a new Letter of Credit issued by an Eligible Institution (with the same face amount as the Letter of Credit then being replaced) within thirty (30) days after notice thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the above, Lender is not obligated to draw on any Letter of Credit upon the happening of an event specified in clauses (a) through (d) above and shall not be liable for any losses sustained by Borrower due to the insolvency of the bank issuing the Letter of Credit in question if ▇▇▇▇▇▇ has not drawn the applicable Letter of Credit.
| 4. | REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES |
Borrower represents and warrants to Lender as of the date hereof that, except to the extent (if any) disclosed on Schedule 2 hereto with reference to a specific Section of this Article 4:
4.1 Organization; Special Purpose.
(a) Borrower is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state of its formation, with requisite power and authority, and all rights, licenses, permits and authorizations, governmental or otherwise, necessary to own its properties and to transact the business in which it is now engaged. Borrower is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in the jurisdiction in which the Property is located and in each other jurisdiction where it is required to be so qualified in connection with its properties, business and operations. Borrower is, as of the date hereof, a Special Purpose Bankruptcy Remote Entity.
| 58 |
(b) ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, as authorized signatory for BPOZ Manager, LLC, is the only Person that Controls Borrower.
4.2 Proceedings; Enforceability. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ has taken all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents to which it is a party, and has the power and authority to execute, deliver and perform under the Loan Documents and all the transactions contemplated thereby. The Loan Documents to which Borrower is a party have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by Borrower and constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of Borrower, enforceable against Borrower in accordance with their respective terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). The Loan Documents are not subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense by Borrower or any Guarantor including the defense of usury, nor to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s knowledge would the operation of any of the terms of the Loan Documents, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render the Loan Documents unenforceable, and none of Borrower or any Guarantor have asserted any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense with respect thereto.
4.3 No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and the transactions contemplated hereby will not (i) to Borrower’s knowledge, conflict with any provision of any law or regulation to which Borrower is subject, or conflict with, or result in a breach of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any Lien (other than pursuant to the Loan Documents) upon any of the property of Borrower pursuant to the terms of, any agreement or instrument to which Borrower is a party or by which its property is subject, nor will such action result in any violation of the provisions of any statute or any order, rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over Borrower or any of its properties. Borrower’s rights under the Licenses and the Management Agreement will not be adversely affected by the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s performance thereunder, the recordation of the Security Instrument, or the exercise of any remedies by ▇▇▇▇▇▇. Any consent, approval, authorization, order, registration or qualification of or with any Governmental Authority required for the execution, delivery and performance by Borrower of, or compliance by Borrower with, the Loan Documents or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, has been obtained and is in full force and effect.
4.4 Litigation. There are no actions, suits or other proceedings at law or in equity by or before any Governmental Authority now pending or threatened in writing against or affecting Borrower, Mezzanine Borrower, any Guarantor, Manager or the Property, in any court or by or before any other Governmental Authority, which, if adversely determined, would be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.
| 59 |
4.5 Agreements. Borrower is not a party to any agreement or instrument or subject to any restriction which would be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect. Borrower is not in default with respect to any order or decree of any court or any order, regulation or demand of any Governmental Authority, which default would be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect. To Borrower’s knowledge, Borrower is not in default, and has not received written notice of any currently outstanding event or condition that with the giving of notice or the passage of time would constitute a default, in any material respect in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions of Borrower contained in any Permitted Encumbrance or any other agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it or the Property is bound, and to Borrower’s knowledge, there are no such uncured defaults under any such agreement by any other party thereto.
4.6 Title. Borrower has good, marketable and insurable title in fee simple to the real property and good title to the balance of the Property, free and clear of all Liens except the Permitted Encumbrances. All transfer Taxes, deed stamps, intangible Taxes or other amounts in the nature of transfer Taxes required to be paid by any Person under applicable Legal Requirements in connection with the transfer of the Property to Borrower have been paid or are being paid simultaneously herewith. The Security Instrument when properly recorded in the appropriate records, together with any UCC Financing Statements required to be filed in connection therewith, will create (a) a valid, perfected first priority lien on Borrower’s interest in the Property and (b) valid and perfected first priority security interests in and to, and perfected collateral assignments of, all personalty (including the Leases) owned by Borrower (to the extent such security interests may be perfected by recording the Security Instrument or filing UCC Financing Statements), all in accordance with the terms thereof, in each case subject only to any applicable Permitted Encumbrances. All Other Taxes have been paid or are being paid simultaneously herewith. All Taxes and governmental assessments due and owing as of the date hereof in respect of the Property have been paid, or an escrow of funds in an amount sufficient to cover such payments has been established (or will be funded) hereunder or are insured against by the Title Insurance Policy. The Permitted Encumbrances, individually or in the aggregate, do not (i) materially and adversely affect the value, operation or use of the Property, or (ii) impair Borrower’s ability to repay the Loan. To ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s knowledge, no condemnation or other proceeding has been commenced (and remains outstanding) or is contemplated with respect to all or any portion of the Property or for the relocation of roadways providing access to the Property. To Borrower’s knowledge, there are no mechanics’, materialman’s or other similar Liens or claims which have been filed for work, labor or materials affecting the Property which are or may become a Lien on the Property, which have otherwise not been bonded over or discharged. The Survey does not fail to reflect any material matter affecting the Property or the title thereto. All of the Improvements which were included in determining the appraised value of the Property lie wholly within the boundaries and building restriction lines of the Property, and no improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon the Property, so as to materially and adversely affect the value or marketability of the Property, and no easements or other encumbrances affecting the Property encroach upon any of the Improvements, so as to materially and adversely affect the value or marketability of the Property. Each parcel comprising the Property is a separate tax lot and is not a portion of any other tax lot that is not a part of the Property. To Borrower’s knowledge, there are no pending or proposed special or other assessments for public improvements or otherwise affecting the Property, nor are there any contemplated improvements to the Property that are reasonably likely to result in such special or other assessments. With respect to the Title Insurance Policy, (A) the Title Insurance Policy is in full force and effect, (B) the premium with respect thereto has been paid in full (or will be paid in full with a portion of the proceeds of the Loan), and no claims have been made under the Title Insurance Policy and no other action has been taken that would materially impair the Title Insurance Policy.
| 60 |
4.7 No Bankruptcy Filing. Neither Borrower nor to Borrower’s knowledge, any of its constituent Persons are contemplating either the filing of a petition by it in any Insolvency Proceeding or the liquidation of all or a major portion of Borrower’s assets or properties, and Borrower has no knowledge of any Person contemplating the filing of any such petition against it or such constituent Persons.

6.3 Financial Reporting.
6.3.1 Bookkeeping. Borrower shall keep on a calendar year basis, in accordance with GAAP (provided that, in addition to GAAP compliant statements, Borrower shall prepare statements adjusted to show actual rents as scheduled to be received and not straight-lined), and, to the extent required under Section 9.1 hereof, the requirements of Regulation AB, proper and accurate books, records and accounts reflecting all of the financial affairs of Borrower and all items of income and expense and any services, Equipment or furnishings provided in connection with the operation of the Property, whether such income or expense is realized by Borrower, Manager or any Affiliate of Borrower.

The Full Replacement Cost shall be re-determined from time to time (but not more frequently than once in any twelve (12) calendar months) at the request of Lender by an appraiser or contractor designated and paid by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and approved by ▇▇▇▇▇▇, or by an engineer or appraiser in the regular employ of the insurer. After the first appraisal, additional appraisals may be based on construction cost indices customarily employed in the trade. No omission on the part of Lender to request any such ascertainment shall relieve Borrower of any of its obligations under this Section 7.1.1(a).
(b) if any portion of the Improvements or, if applicable, personal property is at any time located in an area identified in the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency or any successor thereto as an area having special flood, flood hazard insurance in an amount equal to the maximum limit of building and, if applicable, contents coverage available through the National Flood Insurance Program, or equivalent policy through a private insurer, in all cases with deductibles acceptable to Lender, plus such excess flood insurance as required by Lender; provided, that, the insurance provided pursuant to this Section 7.1.1(b) shall be on terms consistent with the “All Risk” insurance policy required in Section 7.1.1(a) hereof. If there is no portion of the Improvements identified as being in a ‘Special Flood Hazard Area’, flood coverage is required at a limit reasonably determined by Lender.
(c) commercial general liability insurance against all claims for personal injury, bodily injury, death or property damage occurring upon, in or about the Property, including “Dram Shop” or other liquor liability coverage if Borrower sells or distributes alcoholic beverages from the Property, such insurance: (i) to be on the so-called “occurrence” form with a general aggregate limit of not less than $[***] and a per occurrence limit of not less than $[***]; (ii) to continue at not less than the aforesaid limit until required to be changed by Lender in writing by reason of changed economic conditions making such protection inadequate; (iii) to contain a “Per Location General Aggregate Limit” endorsement; (iv) to not contain any exclusion for non- structural renovation or maintenance work; and (v) to cover at least the following hazards: (A) premises and operations; (B) products and completed operations on an “if any” basis; (C) independent contractors; (D) contractual liability for all insured contracts; and (E) contractual liability covering the indemnities contained in this Agreement to the extent the same is available.
| 93 |
(d) loss of rents and/or business interruption insurance: (i) with loss payable to Lender; (ii) covering all risks required to be covered by the insurance provided for in Sections 7.1.1(a), (b), (e), (g) and (k) hereof; (iii) in an amount equal to [***] percent ([***]%) of the projected gross income from the Property on an actual loss sustained basis for a period beginning on the date of Casualty and continuing until the Restoration of the Property is completed, or the expiration of twenty-four (24) months, whichever first occurs, and notwithstanding that the policy may expire prior to the end of such period. The amount of such business interruption/loss of rents insurance shall be determined prior to the date hereof and at least once each year thereafter based on the greatest of: (A) Borrower’s reasonable estimate of the gross income from the Property and (B) the highest gross income received during the Term for any full calendar year prior to the date the amount of such insurance is being determined, in each case for the succeeding twenty-four (24) month period; and (C) containing an extended period of indemnity endorsement which provides that after the physical loss to the Improvements has been repaired, the continued loss of income will be insured until such income either returns to the same level it was at prior to the loss, or the expiration of twelve (12) months from the date that the Property is repaired or replaced and operations are resumed, whichever first occurs, and notwithstanding that the policy may expire prior to the end of such period.
(e) if applicable, equipment breakdown/boiler and machinery insurance covering all mechanical and electrical equipment in such amounts as shall be reasonably required by Lender, on terms and in amounts consistent with the commercial property insurance policy required under Section 7.1.1(a) hereof or in such other amount as shall be reasonably required by Lender (if applicable to the Property).
(f) workers’ compensation, subject to the statutory limits of the state in which the Property is located, and employer’s liability insurance with a limit of at least $[***] per accident and per disease per employee, and $[***] for disease aggregate in respect of any work or operations on or about the Property, or in connection with the Property or its operation (if applicable).
(g) during any period of restoration, renovation or construction, and if such work is excluded under the “all risk” or “special form” and/or general liability or umbrella liability insurance policies, (y) commercial general liability and umbrella liability insurance covering claims related to the construction, repairs or alterations being made at the Property which are not covered by or under the terms or provisions of the commercial general liability and umbrella liability insurance policies required herein; and (z) the insurance provided for in Section 7.1.1(a) hereof written in a so-called builder’s risk completed value form including [***] percent ([***]%) of the recurring hard costs and soft costs (A) on a non-reporting basis, (B) against all risks insured against pursuant to Sections 7.1.1(a), (b), (e), and (k) hereof, as applicable, (C) including permission to occupy the Property, and (D) written on a no coinsurance form or containing an agreed amount endorsement waiving co-insurance provisions.
(h) umbrella liability insurance in an amount not less than $[***] per occurrence and in the aggregate, with terms and conditions consistent with the commercial general liability insurance policy required under Section 7.1.1(c) hereof.
| 94 |
(i) auto liability coverage for all owned, non-owned and hired vehicles, including rented and leased vehicles containing minimum limits per occurrence of $[***] (if applicable). If owned autos are used to secure the loan, coverage must include Physical Damage (Comprehensive and Collision).
(j) insurance against employee dishonesty in amounts acceptable to Lender and in no event less than $[***] (if applicable to the Property and Borrower).
(k) intentionally left blank.
(l) such other insurance (including, but not limited to, pollution legal liability insurance, earthquake insurance, mine subsidence insurance, windstorm insurance if windstorm insurance is excluded under the “all risk” or “special form” policy, and insurance related to any construction work) as may from time to time be reasonably required by Lender in order to protect its interests.
(m) the property, loss of rents/business interruption, general liability and umbrella liability insurance policies required in this Section 7.1 shall not exclude Terrorism Coverage. In the event that such coverage with respect to terrorist acts is not part of the policies noted above, Borrower shall, nevertheless, be required to obtain coverage for terrorism as standalone coverage, provided that such coverage is commercially available. Such Terrorism Coverage shall comply with each of the applicable requirements for Policies set forth above (including those relating to deductibles); provided that, Lender, at Lender’s option, may reasonably allow Borrower to obtain or cause to be obtained the Terrorism Coverage with higher deductibles than set forth above. As used above, “Terrorism Coverage” shall mean insurance for acts of terror or similar acts of sabotage; provided, that, for so long as the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002, as extended and modified by the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Authorization Act of 2015 (as the same may be further modified, amended, or extended, “TRIPRA”) (i) remains in full force and effect and (ii) continues to cover both foreign and domestic acts of terror, the provisions of TRIPRA shall determine what is deemed to be included within this definition of “Terrorism Coverage.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event TRIPRA or successor legislation is no longer in effect, Borrower shall be required to carry terrorism insurance throughout the term of the Loan as required herein this clause (m), but in such event Borrower shall not be required to pay any Insurance Premiums solely with respect to such terrorism coverage in excess of the Terrorism Premium Cap (hereinafter defined) and, if the cost of such terrorism coverage exceeds the Terrorism Premium Cap, Borrower shall purchase the maximum amount of terrorism coverage available with funds equal to the Terrorism Premium Cap; provided that, if the Insurance Premiums payable with respect to such terrorism coverage exceeds the Terrorism Premium Cap, Lender may, at its option (1) purchase such stand-alone terrorism Policy, with Borrower paying such portion of the Insurance Premiums with respect thereto equal to the Terrorism Premium Cap and the Lender paying such portion of the Insurance Premiums in excess of the Terrorism Premium Cap or (2) modify the deductible amounts, policy limits and other required policy terms to reduce the Insurance Premiums payable with respect to such stand-alone terrorism Policy to the Terrorism Premium Cap. As used herein, “Terrorism Premium Cap” means an amount equal to two times the amount of the insurance premium that is payable in respect of the Property including business interruption/rental loss insurance as well as general liability and umbrella liability required under the Loan Documents (without giving effect to the cost of terrorism and earthquake components of such property and business interruption/rental loss insurance) at the time that such Terrorism Coverage is excluded from the applicable Policy.
| 95 |
(n) ▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees that the Policies may be in the form of a blanket policy provided that (i) such blanket policy otherwise meets the requirements set forth in this Section 7.1, (ii) Lender shall be satisfied by evidence required by Lender that the blanket policy provides the same protection as would separate Policies insuring only the Property in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, (iii) Lender otherwise approves such blanket policy, (iv) Borrower shall, upon written request of Lender, provide Lender with a complete schedule of locations and values for properties associated with such blanket policy and (v) such blanket policy shall not include a so- called “margin clause” (any such blanket policy that satisfies the foregoing conditions, an “Acceptable Blanket Policy”).
7.1.2 Policies.
(a) All insurance provided for in Section 7.1.1 hereof shall be obtained under valid and enforceable policies (the “Policies” or in the singular, the “Policy”), in such forms and, from time to time after the date hereof, in such amounts as may be satisfactory to Lender, issued by financially sound and responsible insurance companies authorized to do business in the state in which the Property is located and approved by Lender. The insurance companies must have a financial strength rating of “A” or better and a financial size category of “X” or better by A.M. Best Company, Inc., and a rating of (i) “A” or better by S&P, and (ii) if Moody’s or ▇▇▇▇▇ rates the insurance company and is designated by Lender in connection with the Securitization, “A3” or better by ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ and equivalent from Fitch (each such insurer shall be referred to below as a “Qualified Carrier”). Prior to the expiration dates of the Policies theretofore furnished to Lender pursuant to Section 7.1.1 hereof, Borrower shall deliver carrier-issued binders and certificates of the renewal Policies, and thereafter, complete copies of the Policies when issued. Upon renewal of the Policies, Borrower shall deliver evidence satisfactory to Lender of payment of the premiums due thereunder (the “Insurance Premiums”). Renewal certificates (A) for property coverage must be accompanied by an endorsement specifically naming Lender (and its successors or assigns) as Mortgagee and ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Loss Payee, portions of the policy indicating that a certificate naming Lender (and its successors or assigns) as Mortgagee and ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Loss Payee automatically adds them to the policy, or written confirmation from an insurance company underwriter, explicitly confirming agreement to process the request to add Lender (and its successors or assigns) as Mortgagee and ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Loss Payee, and (B) for liability coverage must be accompanied by (x) an endorsement specifically naming Lender (and its successors or assigns) as Additional Insured, portions of the policy confirming that coverage is automatic where required by written contract or agreement, (y) portions of the policy confirming a certificate naming Lender (and its successors or assigns) as Additional Insured automatically amends to the policy, or (z) written confirmation from an insurance company underwriter explicitly confirming the insurer’s agreement to process the request to add Lender (and its successors or assigns) as Additional Insured.
| 96 |
(b) Except to the extent required pursuant to Section 7.1.1 hereof, Borrower shall not obtain (or permit to be obtained) (i) any umbrella or blanket liability or casualty Policy unless, in each case, such Policy is approved in advance in writing by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s interest is included therein as provided in this Agreement and such Policy is issued by a Qualified Carrier, or (ii) separate insurance concurrent in form or contributing in the event of loss with that required in Section 7.1.1 hereof to be furnished by, or which may be reasonably required to be furnished by, Borrower. In the event Borrower obtains (or causes to be obtained) separate insurance or an umbrella or a blanket Policy, Borrower shall notify Lender of the same and shall cause complete copies of each Policy to be delivered as required in Section 7.1.1 hereof. Any umbrella or blanket Policy remains subject to review and approval by Lender based on the schedule of locations and values and such other evidence as may be required by Lender. Notwithstanding Lender’s approval of any umbrella or blanket liability or casualty Policy hereunder, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to require Borrower to obtain a separate Policy in compliance with this Section 7.1.
(c) All Policies of insurance provided for or contemplated by Section 7.1.1 hereof shall name ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ as the named insured and, in the case of liability policies, except for the Policies referenced in Sections 7.1.1(f) and (i) hereof, shall (i) name ▇▇▇▇▇▇ as additional insured, as their respective interests may appear, and in the case of property coverages, including but not limited to the all-risk/special form coverage, rent loss, business interruption, terrorism, boiler and machinery, earthquake and flood insurance, shall name Lender as mortgagee/lender’s loss payable by a standard noncontributing mortgagee clause in favor of Lender providing that the loss thereunder shall be payable to Lender, (ii) include a waiver of subrogation in favor of ▇▇▇▇▇▇, and (iii) be primary and non-contributory with respect to any insurance maintained by ▇▇▇▇▇▇.
(d) All Policies of insurance provided for in Section 7.1.1 hereof shall not be cancelled without providing thirty (30) days’ written notice to ▇▇▇▇▇▇; however, only ten (10) days’ written notice shall be required when the cancellation is due to non-payment of premium.
(e) All Policies of insurance provided for in Section 7.1.1 hereof shall provide that:
(1) no (A) act, failure to act, violation of warranties, declarations or conditions, or negligence by Borrower, or anyone acting for Borrower, or by any tenant under any Lease or other occupant, (B) occupancy or use of the Property for purposes more hazardous than those permitted, (C) foreclosure or similar action by Lender, or (D) failure to comply with the provisions of any Policy which might otherwise result in a forfeiture of the insurance or any part thereof, shall in any way affect the validity or enforceability of the insurance insofar as Lender is concerned;
(2) each Policy shall provide that (A) the issuers thereof shall give written notice to Lender if the Policy has not been renewed ten (10) days prior to its expiration and (B) Lender is permitted to make payments to effect the continuation of such Policy upon notice of cancellation due to non-payment of Insurance Premiums; and
(3) Lender shall not be liable for any Insurance Premiums thereon or subject to any assessments thereunder.
| 97 |
Additionally, Borrower further covenants and agrees to promptly send to Lender any notices of non-renewal or cancellation it receives from the insurer with respect to the Policies required pursuant to this Section 7.1.
(f) Borrower shall furnish to Lender, on or before thirty (30) days after the close of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s fiscal year, a statement certified by Borrower of the amounts of insurance maintained in compliance herewith, of the risks covered by such insurance and of the insurance company or companies which carry such insurance and, if requested by Lender, verification of the adequacy of such insurance by an independent insurance broker or appraiser acceptable to Lender.
(g) 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 Borrower to take such action as Lender deems reasonably and in good faith necessary to protect its interest in the Property, including obtaining of such insurance coverage as Lender in its reasonable and good faith discretion deems appropriate, and all out-of-pocket expenses actually incurred by Lender in connection with such action or in obtaining such insurance and keeping it in effect shall be paid by Borrower to Lender within thirty (30) days of written demand and until paid shall be secured by the Security Instrument and shall bear interest at the Default Rate until paid.
(h) In the event of a foreclosure of the Security Instrument or other transfer of title to the Property in extinguishment in whole or in part of the Debt, all right, title and interest of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ in and to the Policies then in force, but only to the extent concerning the Property and all proceeds payable thereunder, but only to the extent concerning the Property, shall thereupon vest exclusively in Lender or the purchaser at such foreclosure or other transferee in the event of such other transfer of title.
7.2 Casualty.
7.2.1 Notice; Restoration. If the Property is damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty (a “Casualty”), and the cost of the damage with respect thereto is in excess of $[***], Borrower shall give prompt notice thereof to Lender. Following the occurrence of a Casualty, Borrower, regardless of whether insurance proceeds are available, shall promptly proceed to restore, repair, replace or rebuild the Property as nearly as possible to the condition the Property was in immediately prior to such Casualty, with such alterations as may be reasonably approved by Lender and otherwise in accordance with Section 7.4.
7.2.2 Settlement of Proceeds. If a Casualty covered by any of the Policies (an “Insured Casualty”) occurs where the loss does not exceed the Restoration Threshold, provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower may settle and adjust any claim without the prior consent of Lender; provided such adjustment is carried out in a competent and timely manner, and Borrower is hereby authorized to collect such insurance proceeds (the “Proceeds”), and promptly deposit the same into the Casualty/Condemnation Subaccount. In the event of an Insured Casualty where the loss equals or exceeds the Restoration Threshold (a “Significant Casualty”), Lender may, in its reasonable and good faith discretion, settle and adjust any claim without the consent of Borrower and agree with the insurer(s) on the amount to be paid on the loss, and the Proceeds shall be due and payable solely to Lender and held by Lender in the Casualty/Condemnation Subaccount and disbursed in accordance herewith. If Borrower or any party other than Lender is a payee on any check representing Proceeds with respect to a Significant Casualty, Borrower shall promptly endorse, and cause all such third parties to endorse, such check payable to the order of Lender. Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Lender as its limited attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, to endorse such check payable to the order of Lender; provided, however, that ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s exercise of such power of attorney shall not increase Borrower’s obligations or liabilities to third parties or Lender (other than amounts expended by Lender in connection therewith). The reasonable out-of-pocket expenses actually incurred by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ in the settlement, adjustment and collection of the Proceeds shall become part of the Debt and shall be reimbursed by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ to Lender within ten (10) Business Days of written demand. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if in connection with a Casualty any insurance carrier makes a payment under a property insurance Policy that Borrower proposes be treated as business or rental interruption insurance, then, notwithstanding any designation (or lack of designation) by the insurance carrier as to the purpose of such payment, as between Lender and Borrower, such payment shall not be treated as business or rental interruption insurance proceeds unless Borrower has demonstrated to Lender’s reasonable and good faith satisfaction that the remaining net Proceeds that will be received from the property insurance carriers are sufficient to pay [***] percent ([***]%) of the cost of fully restoring the Improvements or, if such net Proceeds are to be applied to repay the Debt in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, that such remaining net Proceeds will be sufficient to pay the Debt in full.
| 98 |
7.3 Condemnation.
7.3.1 Notice; Restoration. Borrower shall promptly give Lender written notice of the actual or threatened (in writing) commencement of any condemnation or eminent domain proceeding affecting the Property (a “Condemnation”) and shall deliver to Lender copies of any and all papers served upon Borrower in connection with such Condemnation. Following the occurrence of a Condemnation, Borrower, regardless of whether an Award is available, shall promptly proceed to restore, repair, replace or rebuild the Property in accordance with Legal Requirements to the extent practicable to be of at least equal value and of substantially the same character (and to have the same utility) as prior to such Condemnation.
7.3.2 Collection of Award. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ is hereby irrevocably appointed as ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s limited attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, with exclusive power to collect, receive and retain any award or payment in respect of a Condemnation (an “Award”) and to make any compromise, adjustment or settlement in connection with such Condemnation. Notwithstanding any Condemnation (or any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of such Condemnation), Borrower shall continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided for in the Loan Documents, and the Debt shall not be reduced unless and until any Award (net of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses actually incurred by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ in collecting the Award) shall have been actually received and applied by Lender to discharge of the Debt as provided herein. 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 Interest Rate. If the Property is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Lender of such Award, Lender shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Note shall be recoverable or shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive all or a portion of the Award sufficient to pay the Debt. Borrower shall cause any Award that is payable to Borrower to be paid directly to Lender. Lender shall hold such Award in the Casualty/Condemnation Subaccount and disburse such Award in accordance with the terms hereof.
| 99 |
7.4 Application of Proceeds or Award.
7.4.1 Application to Restoration. If an Insured Casualty or Condemnation occurs where: (a) the loss is in an aggregate amount less than [***] percent ([***]%) of the sum of the (x) Principal and (y) outstanding principal in the Mezzanine Loan, (b) in the reasonable judgment of ▇▇▇▇▇▇, the Property can be restored within nine (9) months, and prior to six (6) months before the Stated Maturity Date and prior to the expiration of the rental or business interruption insurance with respect thereto, to substantially the Property’s pre-existing condition and utility as existed immediately prior to such Insured Casualty or Condemnation and to an economic unit not less valuable and not less useful than the same was immediately prior to the Insured Casualty or Condemnation, and after such restoration will adequately secure the Debt; (c) less than (i) [***] percent ([***]%), in the case of an Insured Casualty or (ii) [***] percent ([***]%), in the case of a Condemnation, of the rentable area of the Improvements has been damaged, destroyed or rendered unusable as a result of such Insured Casualty or Condemnation; (d) the Property and the use thereof after the Restoration will be in compliance with and permitted under all applicable Legal Requirements; (e) Leases demising in the aggregate at least [***] percent ([***]%) of the total rentable space in the Property and in effect as of the date of the occurrence of such Insured Casualty or Condemnation remain in full force and effect during and after the completion of the Restoration (hereinafter defined); (f) Lender shall be satisfied that the Restoration will be completed in accordance with all Legal Requirements; and (g) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be then continuing, then the Proceeds or the Award, as the case may be (after reimbursement of any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses actually incurred by ▇▇▇▇▇▇), shall be applied to pay for or reimburse Borrower for the cost of restoring, repairing, replacing or rebuilding the Property (the “Restoration”), in the manner set forth herein. Borrower shall commence and diligently prosecute such Restoration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Lender be obligated to apply the Proceeds or Award to pay for or reimburse Borrower for the cost of Restoration unless, in addition to satisfaction of the foregoing conditions, both (i) Borrower shall pay (and if required by Lender, Borrower shall deposit with Lender in advance) all costs of such Restoration in excess of the net amount of the Proceeds or the Award made available pursuant to the terms of this Agreement; and (ii) Lender shall have received evidence reasonably satisfactory to it that during the period of the Restoration, the Rents (including the proceeds of rental interruption insurance) will be at least equal to the sum of the operating expenses and the debt service payable under the Loan and other reserve payments required hereunder, as reasonably determined by ▇▇▇▇▇▇.
| 100 |
7.4.2 Application to Debt. Except as provided in Section 7.4.1 hereof, any Proceeds and/or Award may, at the option of Lender in its discretion, be applied to the payment of (a) accrued but unpaid interest on the Note, (b) the Principal and (c) other charges due under the Note and/or any of the other Loan Documents, or applied to pay for or reimburse Borrower for the cost of any Restoration, in the manner set forth in Section 7.4.3 hereof. Any prepayment of the Loan made pursuant to this Section 7.4.2 shall be without any Yield Maintenance Premium, Interest Shortfall or any other prepayment premium or penalty, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time the Proceeds are received from the insurance company or the Award is received from the condemning authority, as the case may be and such Event of Default occurred prior to the Yield Maintenance Date, in which event Borrower shall pay to Lender an additional amount equal to any Yield Maintenance Premium, if any, that may be required with respect to the amount of the Proceeds or Award applied to the Principal.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.4, if the Loan is included in a REMIC Trust and, immediately following a release of any portion of the Lien of the Security Instrument following a Casualty or Condemnation (but taking into account any proposed Restoration of the remaining Property), the ratio of the Principal to the value of the remaining Property is greater than [***] percent ([***]%) (such value to be determined, in ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s reasonable and good faith 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 principal balance of the Loan must be paid down by an amount equal to the least of the following amounts: (a) the net Award or net Proceeds (in either case, after payment of Lender’s out-of-pocket costs and expenses and any other fees and expenses that have been approved by Lender); (b) the fair market value of the released property at the time of the release; or (c) a “qualified amount” as that term is defined in the IRS Revenue Procedure 2010-30 such that the loan-to-value ratio of the Loan (as so determined by Lender) does not increase after the release, unless ▇▇▇▇▇▇ 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 the Security Instrument. If and to the extent the preceding sentence applies, only such amount of the net Award, 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 Borrower as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 7.4.
7.4.3 Procedure for Application to Restoration. If ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ is entitled to reimbursement out of the Proceeds or an Award held by ▇▇▇▇▇▇, such Proceeds or Award shall be disbursed from time to time from the Casualty/Condemnation Subaccount upon Lender being furnished with (a) evidence reasonably and in good faith satisfactory to Lender of the estimated cost of completion of the Restoration, (b) a fixed price or guaranteed maximum cost construction contract for Restoration reasonably and in good faith satisfactory to Lender, (c) prior to the commencement of Restoration, all immediately available funds in addition to the Proceeds or Award that in Lender’s reasonable and good faith judgment are required to complete the proposed Restoration, (d) such architect’s certificates, waivers of lien, contractor’s sworn statements, title insurance endorsements, bonds, plats of survey, permits, approvals, licenses and such other documents and items as Lender may reasonably and in good faith require and approve in Lender’s reasonable and good faith discretion, and (e) all plans and specifications for such Restoration, such plans and specifications to be approved by Lender (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) prior to commencement of any work. Lender may, at ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s expense, retain a consultant to review and approve all requests for disbursements, which approval shall also be a condition precedent to any disbursement. No payment made prior to the final completion of the Restoration shall exceed [***] percent ([***]%) of the value of the work performed from time to time; funds other than the Proceeds or Award shall be disbursed prior to disbursement of such Proceeds or Award; and at all times, the undisbursed balance of such Proceeds or Award remaining in the hands of Lender, together with funds deposited for that purpose or irrevocably committed to the satisfaction of Lender by or on behalf of Borrower for that purpose, shall be at least sufficient in the reasonable judgment of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ to pay for the cost of completion of the Restoration, free and clear of all Liens or claims for Lien. Provided no Event of Default then exists, any surplus that remains out of the Proceeds held by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ after payment of such costs of Restoration shall be paid to Mezzanine Lender to be held and disbursed in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Mezzanine Loan Agreement. Any surplus that remains out of the Award received by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ after payment of such costs of Restoration shall, in the discretion of Lender, be retained by Lender and applied to payment of the Debt or paid to Mezzanine Lender to be held and disbursed in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Mezzanine Loan Agreement.
| 101 |
7.5 Application of Business Interruption and/or Rent Loss Policies. With respect to any Proceeds paid on account of business interruption and/or rent loss policies, the same shall be deposited in the Cash Management Account and distributed in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.11 hereof; provided, however, that if such business interruption proceeds are disbursed in a lump sum, unless otherwise agreed to by Lender in its sole discretion, Lender shall hold such proceeds in the Casualty/Condemnation Subaccount, shall estimate the number of months required for Borrower to restore the damage caused by the applicable Casualty, shall divide the applicable aggregate business interruption or rent loss proceeds by such number of months and shall disburse such monthly installment of such proceeds on each Payment Date in the Cash Management Account for disbursement in accordance with Section 3.11 hereof.

| 104 |
8.2 Remedies.
8.2.1 Acceleration. During the continuance of an Event of Default and at any time and from time to time thereafter, in addition to any other rights or remedies available to it pursuant to the Loan Documents or at law or in equity, Lender may take such action, without notice or demand (and Borrower hereby expressly waives any such notice or demand to the extent permitted by law), that Lender deems advisable to protect and enforce its rights against Borrower and in and to the Property; including declaring the Debt to be immediately due and payable (including unpaid interest, Default Rate interest, Late Payment Charges, Yield Maintenance Premium, if any, and any other amounts owing by Borrower), without notice or demand (provided that such Debt shall immediately and automatically become due and payable, without notice or demand (to the extent permitted by law) upon any Event of Default described in paragraph (f) or of Section 8.1 hereof).
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 Borrower under the Loan Documents or at law or in equity may be exercised by Lender at any time and from time to time, whether or not all or any of the Debt shall be declared, or be automatically, due and payable, and whether or not Lender shall have commenced any foreclosure proceeding or other action for the enforcement of its rights and remedies under any of the Loan Documents. Any such actions taken by Lender shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singly, successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in its discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender permitted by law, equity or contract or as set forth in the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees that if an Event of Default is continuing, (i) to the extent permitted by applicable law, Lender is not subject to any “one action” or “election of remedies” law or rule, and (ii) all Liens and other rights, remedies or privileges provided to Lender shall remain in full force and effect until Lender has exhausted all of its remedies against the Property, the Security Instrument has been foreclosed, the Property has been sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Debt or the Debt has been paid in full. To the extent permitted by applicable law, nothing contained in any Loan Document shall be construed as requiring Lender to resort to any portion of the Property for the satisfaction of any of the Debt in preference or priority to any other portion, and Lender may seek satisfaction out of the entire Property or any part thereof, in its discretion.
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 the Security Instrument in any manner and for any amounts secured by the Security Instrument then due and payable as determined by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ in its sole discretion, including the following circumstances: (i) in the event Borrower defaults beyond any applicable grace period in the payment of one or more scheduled payments of Principal and interest, Lender may foreclose the Security Instrument to recover such delinquent payments; or (ii) in the event Lender elects to accelerate less than the entire outstanding Principal, Lender may foreclose the Security Instrument to recover so much of the Principal as Lender may accelerate and such other sums secured by the Security Instrument as Lender may elect. Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, the Property shall remain subject to the Security Instrument to secure payment of the sums secured by the Security Instrument and not previously recovered.
| 105 |
(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 and priorities of payment and liens as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion for purposes of evidencing and enforcing its rights and remedies provided hereunder; provided that notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Loan of all components immediately after the effective date of any such severance equals the outstanding principal balance of the Loan components immediately prior to such modification. Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender from time to time, promptly after the request of ▇▇▇▇▇▇, 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; provided, however, that such severed loan documents shall not contain any representations, warranties or covenants not contained in the Loan Documents. 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 severance, Borrower ratifying all that such attorney shall do by virtue thereof; provided, however, Lender shall not make or execute any such documents under such power until five (5) Business Days after written notice has been given to Borrower by Lender of ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s intent to exercise its rights under such power, and such power shall only be exercisable during the continuance of an Event of Default.
8.2.4 Delay. No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of Default, or the granting of any indulgence or compromise by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall impair any such remedy, right or power hereunder or 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 shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Lender reserves the right to seek a deficiency judgment or preserve a deficiency claim in connection with the foreclosure of the Security Instrument to the extent necessary to foreclose on all or any portion of the Property, the Rents, the Cash Management System Accounts or any other collateral.
8.2.5 Additional Remedies. In addition to all remedies conferred it by law and by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, upon the occurrence and during the existence of an Event of Default, Lender may pursue any one or more of the following remedies concurrently or successively, it being the intent hereof that none of such remedies shall be to the exclusion of any other, and with full rights to reimbursement from Borrower and Guarantors:
(a) take possession of the Property and complete any construction work at the Property, including the right to avail itself of and procure performance of existing contracts or let any contracts with the same contractors or others and to employ watchmen to protect the Property from injury. Without restricting the generality of the foregoing and for the purposes aforesaid to be exercised during the existence and continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower hereby appoints and constitutes Lender its lawful attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution to complete any construction work at the Property in the name of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇;
| 106 |
(a) use monies held in the Cash Management System Accounts to complete any construction work at the Property;
(b) enter into change orders which shall be necessary or desirable to complete any construction work at the Property in substantially the manner contemplated by any plans and specifications submitted to Lender during the Term;
(c) retain or employ new general contractors, construction managers, subcontractors, architects, engineers and inspectors as shall be required for said purposes; to pay, settle or compromise all existing bills and claims which may be liens or security interests, or to avoid such bills and claims becoming liens against the Property, or as may be necessary or desirable for the completion of any construction work at the Property or for the clearance of title to the Property;
(d) execute all applications and certificates in the name of Borrower which may be required by any construction contracts;
(e) prosecute and defend all actions or proceedings in connection with any construction work at the Property; and
(f) take any action and require such performance as it deems necessary to be furnished hereunder and to make settlements and compromises with the surety or sureties thereunder, and in connection therewith, to execute instruments of release and satisfaction.

(h) If requested by Lender, whether in connection with a Securitization or at any time thereafter during which the Loan and any Related Loans are included in a Securitization, Borrower shall provide Lender, promptly upon request, a list of tenants of the Property (including all affiliates of such tenants) that in the aggregate (i) occupy 10% or more (but less than 20%) of the total floor area of the improvements or represent 10% or more (but less than 20%) of aggregate base rent, and (ii) occupy 20% or more of the total floor area of the improvements or represent 20% or more of aggregate base.

9.2 Securitization Indemnification.
(a) Borrower understands that information provided to Lender by Borrower and its agents, counsel and representatives may be included in preliminary and final disclosure documents in connection with any Secondary Market Transaction, including a Securitization, including an offering circular, a prospectus, prospectus supplement, private placement memorandum or other offering document (each, a “Disclosure Document”) and may also be included in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and may be made available to investors or prospective investors in the Securities, investment banking firms, NRSROs, accounting firms, law firms and other third-party advisory and service providers relating to any Secondary Market Transaction, including a Securitization. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ also understands that the findings and conclusions of any third-party due diligence report obtained by ▇▇▇▇▇▇, the Issuer or the Securitization placement agent or underwriter may be made publicly available if required, and in the manner prescribed, by Section 15E(s)(4)(A) of the Exchange Act and any rules promulgated thereunder.
(b) Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify Lender, any Affiliate of Lender that has filed any registration statement relating to the Securitization or has acted as the sponsor or depositor in connection with the Securitization, any Affiliate of Lender that acts as an underwriter, placement agent or initial purchaser of Securities issued in the Securitization, Lender (and for purposes of this Section 9.2, Lender shall include its officers and directors) and each Person who controls Lender within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively, the “Lender Group”), the issuer of the Securities (the “Issuer” and for purposes of this Section 9.2, Issuer shall include its officers, director and each Person who controls the Issuer within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and any placement agent or underwriter with respect to the Securitization, each of their respective officers and directors and each Person who controls the placement agent or underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively, the “Underwriter Group”) for any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (collectively, the “Liabilities”) to which Lender, the Lender Group, the Issuer or the Underwriter Group may become subject insofar as the Liabilities arise out of, or are based upon, (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the information provided to Lender by Borrower and its agents, counsel and representatives, (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated in such information or necessary in order to make the statements in such information, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or (iii) a breach of the representations and warranties made by Borrower in Section 4.8 hereof. Borrower also agrees to reimburse Lender, the Lender Group, the Issuer and/or the Underwriter Group for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by ▇▇▇▇▇▇, the Lender Group, the Issuer and/or the Underwriter Group in connection with investigating or defending the Liabilities; provided, however, that Borrower will be liable in any such case under clauses (ii) or (iii) above only to the extent that any such loss claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to Lender by or on behalf of 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 Borrower, operating statements and rent rolls with respect to the Property (collectively, the “Provided Information”). The indemnification provided for in clauses (ii) and (iii) above shall be effective whether or not the indemnification agreement described above is provided; provided, however, such indemnity shall be limited to the Provided Information and shall only be effective to the extent that Lender accurately states the Provided Information in the applicable Disclosure Document. The aforesaid indemnity will be in addition to any liability which Borrower may otherwise have.
| 111 |
(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, Borrower agrees to (i) indemnify Lender, the Lender Group, the Issuer and the Underwriter Group for Liabilities to which Lender, the Lender 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, Provided Information, and (ii) reimburse Lender, the Lender Group, the Issuer and/or the Underwriter Group for any legal or other out-of-pocket expenses reasonably and actually incurred by ▇▇▇▇▇▇, 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 ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ to such indemnified party. After notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party that the indemnifying party has assumed the defense, as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, such indemnified party shall pay for any additional legal or other expenses subsequently incurred in connection with the defense thereof, if the indemnified party has engaged separate legal counsel therefor; 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 the indemnifying 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.
| 112 |
(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) hereof is for any reason held to be unenforceable as to an indemnified party in respect of any Liabilities (or action in respect thereof) referred to therein which would otherwise be indemnifiable under Section 9.2(b) or (c) hereof, 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 ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’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. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ 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 Borrower and Lender under this Section 9.2 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the satisfaction and discharge of the Debt.
9.3 Severance of Loan. Subject to Section 9.4 hereof, 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, in connection with, or after any Secondary Market Transaction), with respect to all or any portion of the Loan, to modify, split and/or sever all or any portion of the Loan as hereinafter provided. Without limiting the foregoing, in connection with any of the foregoing, Lender may (a) cause the Note and the Security Instrument to be split into a first and second mortgage loan, (b) create one or more senior and subordinate notes (i.e., an A/B or A/B/C structure), (c) create multiple components of the Note or Notes (and allocate or reallocate the principal balance of the Loan among such components), (d) reallocate Principal from the Loan to the Mezzanine Loan or the principal of the Mezzanine Loan to the Loan (together with applicable changes to the Spread and the Mortgage Loan Debt Yield), in each such case described in clauses (a) through (d) above, in whatever proportion and whatever priority Lender determines, and (e) modify the Loan Documents with respect to the newly created Notes or components of the Note or Notes such that the pricing and marketability of the Securities and the size of each class of Securities and the rating assigned to each such class by the Rating Agencies shall provide the most favorable rating levels and achieve the optimum rating levels for the Loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such amendment or modification described above shall (i) modify or amend any material economic term of the Loan, or (ii) materially increase the obligations, or decrease the rights or benefits, of Borrower under the Loan Documents; provided, however, in each such instance the outstanding principal balance of all the Notes evidencing the Loan (or components of such Notes) immediately after the effective date of such modification equals the outstanding principal balance of the Loan immediately prior to such modification and the weighted average of the interest rates for all such Notes (or components of such Notes) immediately after the effective date of such modification equals the interest rate of the original Note immediately prior to such modification. In the event of a Casualty or Condemnation where the Proceeds or Award, as the case may be are not made available for Restoration in accordance with this Agreement, such Proceeds or Award, as the case may be, shall be applied to the Notes (or components thereof) in sequential order. In addition, upon an Event of Default, payments may be applied by Lender among the Notes (or components thereof) in such order and proportion as Lender may elect. If in good faith requested by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ in writing, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ (and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s constituent members, if applicable, and Guarantors) shall execute within ten (10) Business Days after such written request, such documentation as Lender may reasonably request to evidence and/or effectuate any such modification or severance. 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. No reallocation as described above shall cause Borrower to violate the separateness criteria set forth in the definition of “Special Purpose Bankruptcy Remote Entity” in Schedule 5 of this Agreement or any other similar separateness criteria contained in Borrower’s organizational documents.
| 113 |
9.4 Costs and Expenses. Lender shall be responsible for ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s own costs and expenses under Section 9.1 and Section 9.3 hereof.

10.1 Exculpation. Subject to the qualifications below, Lender shall not enforce the liability and obligation of Borrower to perform and observe the obligations contained in the Loan Documents by any action or proceeding wherein a money judgment shall be sought against 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 and rights under the Loan Documents, or in the Property, the Rents or any other collateral given to Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents; provided, however, that, except as specifically provided herein, any judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be enforceable against Borrower only to the extent of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s interest in the Property, in the Rents and in any other collateral given to Lender.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, (A) Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any right which Lender may have under Section 506(a), 506(b), 1111(b) or any other provisions of any Insolvency Law to file a claim for the full amount of the Debt or to require that all collateral shall continue to secure all of the Debt in accordance with the Loan Documents, and (B) Lender’s agreement not to pursue personal liability of Borrower as set forth above SHALL BECOME NULL AND VOID and shall be of no further force and effect, and the Debt shall be fully recourse to Borrower in the event that one or more of the following occurs (each, a “Springing Recourse Event”):

10.7 Modification, Waiver in Writing. No modification, amendment, extension, discharge, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or of any other Loan Document, nor consent to any departure by Borrower therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in a writing signed by the party or parties against whom enforcement is sought, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance, and for the purpose, for which given. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no notice to or demand on Borrower shall entitle 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 any 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 the Loan Documents, or to declare an Event of 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.
| 121 |
10.8 Trial by Jury. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ AND ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ AGREE NOT TO ELECT A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY ISSUE TRIABLE OF RIGHT BY JURY, AND WAIVE 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 ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ AND ▇▇▇▇▇▇, AND IS INTENDED TO ENCOMPASS INDIVIDUALLY EACH INSTANCE AND EACH ISSUE AS TO WHICH THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY WOULD OTHERWISE ACCRUE. EITHER PARTY IS HEREBY AUTHORIZED TO FILE A COPY OF THIS PARAGRAPH IN ANY PROCEEDING AS CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OF THIS WAIVER BY THE OTHER.
10.9 Headings/Schedules. 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 attached hereto are hereby incorporated by reference as a part of this Agreement with the same force and effect as if set forth in the body hereof.
10.10 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.
10.11 Preferences. Upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply or reverse and reapply any and all payments by Borrower that are deemed to be references to any portion of the Debt. To the extent Borrower makes a payment to Lender, or Lender receives proceeds of any collateral, which is in whole or part 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 Debt or part thereof intended 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. This provision shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement and the repayment of the Debt.
10.12 Waiver of Notice. Borrower shall not be entitled to any notices of any nature whatsoever from Lender except with respect to matters for which this Agreement or any other Loan Document specifically and expressly requires the giving of notice by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ to Borrower and except with respect to matters for which Borrower is not, pursuant to applicable Legal Requirements, permitted to waive the giving of notice. Borrower hereby expressly waives the right to receive any notice from Lender with respect to any matter for which no Loan Document specifically and expressly requires the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower, except with respect to matters for which Borrower is not (pursuant to applicable Legal Requirements) permitted to waive the giving of notice.
10.13 Remedies of Borrower. If a claim or adjudication is made that Lender or any of its agents, including Servicer, has acted unreasonably or unreasonably delayed acting in any case where by law or under any Loan Document, Lender or any such agent, as the case may be, has an obligation to act reasonably or promptly, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees that neither Lender nor its agents, including Servicer, shall be liable for any monetary damages, and Borrower’s sole remedy shall be to commence an action seeking injunctive relief or declaratory judgment, to the extent injunctive relief or declaratory judgment is otherwise an appropriate remedy given the totality of the circumstance (Borrower hereby acknowledging and agreeing, however, that in no event shall ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s limited remedy hereunder be deemed to in and of itself establish “irreparable harm” or similar harm in determining whether any injunctive relief or declaratory judgment should be granted and Borrower shall have the burden of independently proving same). Any action or proceeding to determine whether ▇▇▇▇▇▇ has acted reasonably shall be determined by an action seeking declaratory judgment.
| 122 |
10.14 Prior Agreements. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents contain the entire agreement of the parties hereto and thereto in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and all prior agreements, understandings and negotiations among or between such parties, whether oral or written, are superseded by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
10.15 Offsets, Counterclaims and Defenses. Borrower hereby waives the right to assert a counterclaim or defense, other than a compulsory or mandatory counterclaim, in any action or proceeding brought against it by Lender or its agents, including Servicer, including in connection with ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s exercise of remedies under the Loan Documents, or otherwise offset any obligations to make payments required under the Loan Documents. Any assignee of Lender’s interest in and to the Loan Documents shall take the same free and clear of all offsets, counterclaims or defenses which Borrower may otherwise have against any assignor of such documents, and no such offset, counterclaim or defense shall be interposed or asserted by Borrower in any action or proceeding brought by any such assignee upon such documents, and any such right to interpose or assert any such offset, counterclaim or defense in any such action or proceeding is hereby expressly waived by Borrower; provided, however, the foregoing shall not apply to any compulsory or mandatory counterclaim. Additionally, and without limiting any of the other provisions contained herein, Borrower hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives, to the maximum extent permitted 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.
10.16 Publicity. All news releases, publicity or advertising by Borrower or its Affiliates through any media intended to reach the general public, which refers to the Loan Documents, the Loan, Lender or any of Lender’s Affiliates, a Loan purchaser, Servicer or the trustee in a Secondary Market Transaction, shall be subject to the prior written approval of Lender (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided, however, that no such approval shall be required for (i) any release, publicity or advertisement that is required or recommended pursuant to Legal Requirements or otherwise to comply with applicable securities laws or disclosure requirements, including, without limitation, U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filings, (ii) routine filings, reports, press releases, investor calls or other communications made in the ordinary course of Borrower’s or its parent company’s status as a publicly traded entity, or (iii) other ordinary-course investor relations materials not specifically identifying Lender by name. All news releases, publicity or advertising by Lender or its Affiliates through any media intended to reach the general public that refers to the Loan Documents or the financing evidenced by the Loan Documents, Borrower, any Guarantor or any Affiliate of Borrower or any Guarantor, shall be subject to the prior written approval of Borrower, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, Borrower’s approval shall not be required in connection with (a) any customary tombstone commissioned by or on behalf of Lender which references the Property or the amount of the Loan, (b) any release, publicity or advertisement that is required or recommended pursuant to Legal Requirements or otherwise to comply with applicable securities laws or disclosure requirements, including, without limitation, U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filings, (c) any information disbursed on a non-public basis to any of Lender’s investors, prospective investors or consultants or in connection with any Secondary Market Transaction and (d) during the continuance of an Event of Default, any publication or advertising required in order for Lender to exercise its remedies hereunder.
| 123 |
10.17 No Usury. Borrower and Lender intend at all times to comply with applicable state law or applicable United States federal law (to the extent that it permits Lender to contract for, charge, take, reserve or receive a greater amount of interest than under state law) and that this Section 10.17 shall control every other agreement in the Loan Documents. If the applicable law (state or federal) is ever judicially interpreted so as to render usurious any amount called for under the Note or any other Loan Document, or contracted for, charged, taken, reserved or received with respect to the Debt, or if ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s exercise of the option to accelerate the maturity of the Loan or any prepayment by Borrower results in Borrower having paid any interest in excess of that permitted by applicable law, then it is Borrower’s and Lender’s express intent that all excess amounts theretofore collected by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall be credited against the Principal and all other Debt (or, if the Debt has been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded to Borrower), and the provisions of the Loan Documents immediately be deemed reformed and the amounts thereafter collectible thereunder reduced, without the necessity of the execution of any new document, so as to comply with applicable law, but so as to permit the recovery of the fullest amount otherwise called for thereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance or detention of the Loan shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated Term until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Debt does not exceed the maximum lawful rate from time to time in effect and applicable to the Debt for so long as the Debt is outstanding. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, it is not the intention of Lender to accelerate the maturity of any interest that has not accrued at the time of such acceleration or to collect unearned interest at the time of such acceleration.
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 each is represented by separate counsel in connection with the negotiation, drafting, execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and that the Loan Documents shall not be subject to the principle of construing their meaning against the party that drafted them. Borrower acknowledges that, with respect to the Loan, Borrower shall rely solely on its own judgment and advisors in entering into the Loan, without relying in any manner on any statements, representations or recommendations of Lender or any parent, subsidiary or affiliate of Lender. Lender shall not be subject to any limitation whatsoever in the exercise of any rights or remedies available to it under any of the Loan Documents or any other agreements or instruments which govern the Loan by virtue of the ownership by it or any parent, subsidiary or affiliate of Lender of any equity interest any of them may acquire in Borrower, and Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to raise any defense or take any action on the basis of the foregoing with respect to ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s exercise of any such rights or remedies. Borrower acknowledges that ▇▇▇▇▇▇ 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 Borrower or its Affiliates.
10.19 No Joint Venture or Partnership; No Third Party Beneficiaries.
(a) ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ intend that the relationships created under the 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 ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and Lender nor to grant Lender any interest in the Property other than that of mortgagee, beneficiary or lender.
| 124 |
(b) The Loan Documents are solely for the benefit of ▇▇▇▇▇▇, Borrower, Guarantor and the other parties thereto and nothing contained in any Loan Document shall be deemed to confer upon anyone other than Lender, Borrower, Guarantor and the other parties thereto any right to insist upon or to enforce the performance or observance of any of the obligations contained therein.
10.20 Yield Maintenance Premium. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that (a) Lender is making the Loan in consideration of the receipt by Lender of all interest and other benefits intended to be conferred by the Loan Documents (b) if payments of Principal become due and owing to Lender on or prior to the Yield Maintenance Date (including any payments due under the Guaranty, to the extent applicable), for any reason whatsoever, whether voluntary or involuntary, including as a result of any acceleration of the Loan pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, by operation of law or otherwise or after an Event of Default, Lender will not receive all such interest and other benefits and may, in addition, incur costs and (c) for these reasons, and to induce Lender to make the Loan, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, during the continuance of an Event of Default and/or at any time from and after an acceleration of the Debt by the terms of this Agreement, operation of law or otherwise, any payments of Principal and accrued interest and other sums due under the Loan Documents shall include, to the extent such Event of Default or acceleration occurred prior to the Yield Maintenance Date, the Yield Maintenance Premium applicable to such Principal; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not be deemed to imply that the Loan may be voluntarily prepaid in any manner or under any circumstance other than as expressly set forth in this Agreement. Such Yield Maintenance Premium (when payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement) shall be required together with such payment of Principal whether payment is made by Borrower, by any Guarantor (if applicable pursuant to the terms of the Guaranty) or by any other Person on behalf of Borrower, or by the purchaser at any foreclosure sale, and may be included in any bid by Lender at such sale. Borrower further acknowledges that (i) it is a knowledgeable real estate developer and/or investor; (ii) it fully understands the effect of the provisions of this Section 10.20, as well as the other provisions of the Loan Documents; (iii) the making of the Loan by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ at the Interest Rate and other terms set forth in the Loan Documents are sufficient consideration for Borrower’s obligation to pay the Yield Maintenance Premium (if required); and (iv) Lender would not make the Loan on the terms set forth herein without the inclusion of such provisions. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ also acknowledges that the provisions of this Agreement limiting the right of prepayment and providing for the payment of the Yield Maintenance Premium and other charges specified herein were independently negotiated and bargained for, and constitute a specific material part of the consideration given by Borrower to Lender for the making of the Loan except as expressly permitted hereunder.
10.21 Assignments and Participations. In addition to any other rights of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ (but subject to the limitations in Article 9 hereof), 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 ▇▇▇▇▇▇ 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 Borrower 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, Borrower may not assign its rights, title, interests or obligations under this Agreement or under any of the Loan Documents.
| 125 |
10.22 Waiver of Marshalling of Assets. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives all rights to a marshalling of the assets of Borrower and of the 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 the Property for the collection of the Debt without any prior or different resort for collection, or of the right of Lender to the payment of the Debt out of the net proceeds of the Property in preference to every other claimant whatsoever.
10.23 Future Funding Obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein (including the provisions of Sections 10.19 and 10.21 hereof), the parties acknowledge that, at the option of Lender, the Loan may be severed in accordance with Section 9.3 hereof into one or more components where one Lender (such Lender, together with any assignee of the Future Funding Obligations, “Future Funding Lender”) retains the obligations of the Lender hereunder to fund Advances in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (the “Future Funding Obligations”). The Future Funding Obligations will be solely the obligation of Future Funding Lender. Any funds advanced pursuant to a Future Funding Obligation shall be owing solely to Future Funding Lender, but in the event that Borrower has insufficient funds to pay both Future Funding Lender and any other Lender(s), the other Lender(s) shall have a prior right to such payment and a prior lien on the Property unless another arrangement between the Lenders is set forth in an applicable co-lender agreement or participation agreement.
10.24 Registered Obligations.
(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the Note is, and any other promissory notes issued under the Loan Documents shall be, registered as to both principal and any stated interest.
(b) If Lender sells a participation interest in the Loan, such Lender shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest in the Loan or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the U.S. Department of Treasury regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.
| 126 |
(c) Lender or its designee, acting for this purpose solely as a non-fiduciary agent of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, shall maintain a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the name and address of each Lender, the outstanding Principal, accrued and unpaid interest and other fees due it hereunder (any such amount a “Borrower Obligation”) and whether such Lender is the original Lender or an assignee pursuant to an assignment under Section 10.21 hereof. The Register shall be made available for inspection by Borrower or Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as the owner of any Borrower Obligation held by such holder, as indicated in the Register, for all purposes of this Agreement.
10.25 Certain Additional Rights of Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary which may be contained in this Agreement, Lender shall have right to exercise the below rights solely in the event that Lender is directly or indirectly owned by any Person that is required to satisfy the requirement of management rights for purposes of the Department of Labor “plan assets” regulation 29 C.F.R., Section 2510.3-101:

(d) the right, without restricting any other rights of Lender under this Agreement, to restrict financing to be obtained with respect to the Property so long as any portion of the Debt remains outstanding;
(e) the right, without restricting any other right of Lender under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, to restrict, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Borrower’s payments of management, consulting, director or similar fees to Affiliates of Borrower from the Rents;
(f) the right, without restricting any other rights of Lender under this Agreement, to approve any operating budget and/or capital budget of Borrower;

(h) the right, without restricting any other rights of Lender under this Agreement, to restrict the transfer of interests in Borrower held by its members, and the right to restrict the transfer of interests in such member, except for any transfer that is a Permitted Transfer.
10.26 Set-Off. In addition to any rights and remedies of Lender provided by this Agreement and by law, during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right in its sole discretion, without prior notice to Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by 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 Borrower. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees promptly to notify Borrower 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.
10.27 Acknowledgment and Consent to Bail-In of Affected 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 Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

10.28 Certain Payments From Mezzanine Lender. Lender has advised ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ that, pursuant to an intercreditor agreement to be entered into between Lender and Mezzanine Lender, Mezzanine Lender may be required in certain circumstances to turn over to Lender certain payments received by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ from Mezzanine Borrower or a Guarantor. If Mezzanine Lender turns over any such payments (or any portion thereof) to Lender, then Lender shall have the option to apply such amounts received from Mezzanine Lender to any amounts then due and payable to Lender pursuant to any Guaranty, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, and any balance shall, at Lender’s election, continue to be held by Lender and thereafter applied to amounts that may thereafter become due and payable to Lender pursuant to any of the foregoing and/or thereafter returned by Lender to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇.

All sums so advanced, with interest, shall constitute additional indebtedness and be secured by the Security Instrument in priority to the indebtedness evidenced by the Note, but no such advance shall be deemed to relieve Borrower from any Default or Event of Default hereunder. After making any such advance, payments made pursuant to the Note shall be first applied toward reimbursement for any such advance and interest thereon, prior to the application toward accrued interest and principal payments due pursuant to this Agreement or the Note.

Exhibit A
Additional Definitions
“Debt Service Coverage Ratio” shall mean the quotient obtained by dividing (1) the Underwritten NOI by (2) the aggregate interest and principal projected to be due and payable over the twelve (12) month period subsequent to the date of calculation under the Loan and the Mezzanine Loan based upon (x) (A) with respect to Section 2.8(c) hereof, an interest rate equal to the capped rate for the Loan and the Mezzanine Loan, as applicable and (B) with respect to clauses (ii)(b) and (ii)(B) of the definition of “Cash Trap Period,” an interest rate equal to the then Interest Rate and the Interest Rate under the Mezzanine Loan, as applicable, and (y) an amount of principal equal to the sum of (a) the outstanding principal amount of the Loan and the Mezzanine Loan as of such date and (b) the aggregate amount of all undisbursed Advances and “Advances” under the Mezzanine Loan as of the date of calculation as determined by Lender. Borrower shall deliver to Lender such information as is reasonably required for Lender to make all applicable calculations. ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s calculation of the Debt Service Coverage Ratio, and all component calculations, shall be conclusive and binding on Borrower absent manifest error.
“Mortgage Loan Debt Yield” shall mean the quotient (expressed as a percentage) obtained by dividing (a) Underwritten NOI as of such date by (b) the sum of (i) the outstanding principal amount of the Loan as of such date and (ii) the aggregate amount of all undisbursed Advances as of such date. ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s calculation of the Mortgage Loan Debt Yield, and all component calculations, shall be conclusive and binding on Borrower absent manifest error.
“Net Rental Income” shall mean the sum of the following (each as reasonably determined by ▇▇▇▇▇▇):
(a) with respect to residential Leases, annual gross potential rent (subject to the legal rents for each occupied unit under all applicable Legal Requirements), subject to adjustment as provided below; plus
(b) with respect to non-residential Leases where the tenant is in occupancy and paying full fixed rent (i.e., after expiration of all free rent or rent abatements periods in the nature of landlord concessions), total fixed rent paid by such tenants for the then most recently ended calendar month, annualized (and inclusive of any scheduled increases in fixed rent as of the date scheduled to go into effect), subject to adjustment as provided below; plus
(c) with respect to non-residential Leases which have been fully and unconditionally executed and delivered and approved pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, but under which the tenant is not yet then paying full fixed rent (i.e., all free rent or rent abatements periods in the nature of landlord concessions have not expired) and pursuant to which Borrower, as landlord, has no further delivery obligations (either through Borrower’s obligations to perform work at the demised premises or to deliver a tenant allowance (unless such tenant allowance has been escrowed or reserved with Lender)), total fixed rent to be paid during the immediately succeeding twelve (12) month period under such non-residential Leases (and inclusive of any scheduled increases in fixed rent as of the date scheduled to go into effect), but only to the extent of the amount of fixed rent actually payable during such twelve (12) month period; plus
(d) all on-going reimbursed Operating Expenses from tenants (provided, however, that such reimbursed Operating Expenses cannot exceed [***] percent ([***]%) of the Operating Expenses incurred by Borrower which are being reimbursed) and ancillary income received from the Property during the immediately preceding twelve (12) month period that will continue to be received during the succeeding twelve (12) month period, but excluding (i) security deposits and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ money deposits; (ii) prepaid rents for more than one (1) month in advance until they are actually earned; and (iii) lease buyout payments made by a tenant in connection with any surrender, cancellation or termination of its lease.
The above calculations shall be adjusted (i)(A) with respect to residential Leases, to assume a vacancy rate equal to the greater of the actual vacancy rate at the Property and a [***] percent ([***]%) vacancy rate and (B) with respect to non-residential Leases, to assume a vacancy rate equal to the greater of the actual vacancy rate at the Property and a [***] percent ([***]%) vacancy rate; (ii) to exclude (A) security deposits and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ money deposits, (B) prepaid rents for more than one (1) month in advance until they are actually earned; and (C) lease buy-out payments made by any tenant in connection with any surrender, cancellation or termination of its Lease; (iii) to exclude all revenue of any kind from tenants in bankruptcy, tenants who have failed to make a payment under such lease for a period of at least thirty (30) days, tenants that have given notice of their intent to vacate within the succeeding twelve (12) month period and tenants that have vacated and (iv) otherwise in Lender’s reasonable discretion.
“Operating Expenses” shall mean all expenses, computed in accordance with GAAP or other accounting principles reasonably acceptable to Lender, of whatever kind and from whatever source, relating to the ownership, operation, repair, maintenance and management of the Property that are incurred by or on behalf of Borrower on a regular monthly or other periodic basis, including (and without duplication): (a) Property Taxes (based on the most current bill annualized, subject to adjustment by Lender to take into account any change in assessment that has not yet been reflected in the most current tax bill); (b) Insurance Premiums (based on the most current premium annualized); (c) management fees (whether or not actually paid) equal to the greater of the actual management fees or [***] percent ([***]%) of the sum of Net Rental Income; (d) expenses attributable to the ordinary operation, repair and maintenance of the Improvements; (e) advertising and marketing expenses; (f) professional fees, license fees and general and administrative costs and expenses; (g) utilities; (h) payroll, benefits and related taxes and expenses; (i) janitorial expenses; (j) computer processing charges; (k) operating equipment or other lease payments as approved by Lender; (l) ground lease payments (if any), (m) bond assessments; and (n) other similar costs and expenses, in each instance, unless otherwise noted, only to the extent actually paid for by Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Operating Expenses shall not include (A) debt service (including principal and interest), (B) amounts deposited into reserves required by the Loan Documents (but Operating Expenses shall include expenses paid from any such reserves); (C) capital expenditures; (D) depreciations and amortization; (E) any emergency expenses or any non-recurring expenses; (F) federal, state or local income taxes; (G) unincorporated business taxes; or (H) equity distributions. With respect to any calculation of Operating Expenses, Operating Expenses shall be based on a trailing twelve (12) month period adjusted upwards or downwards in Lender’s reasonable discretion by anticipated changes in Operating Expenses; provided that with respect to any period for which Other Income is not determined based on a trailing twelve (12) month period, Lender reserves the right to annualize Operating Expenses as Lender shall determine in good faith to be necessary to properly match Net Rental Income and Operating Expenses.
“Other Income” shall mean all other applicable income, to the extent such income is recurring, determined on a trailing twelve (12) month basis, computed in accordance with GAAP or other accounting principles reasonably acceptable to Lender, including (and without duplication), parking income, income payable under any REA, cellular tower income, laundry income, vending income, service fees or charges, license fees, rental interruption or business interruption insurance, utility reimbursements and other similar items of income. Other Income will not include Proceeds (except rental interruption or business interruption proceeds), Awards, proceeds of any financing, proceeds of any sale, exchange or transfer of the Property or any part thereof or interest therein (including proceeds of any sales of furniture, fixtures and equipment), capital contributions or loans to Borrower or an Affiliate of Borrower, any other extraordinary, non-recurring revenues, refunds and uncollectible accounts, interest income from any source, unforfeited security deposits, utility and other similar deposits or any disbursements to Borrower from the Subaccounts.
