Article 2.

GENERAL TERMS
Section 2.1The Loan.
Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ hereby agrees to make and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ hereby agrees to accept the Loan on the Closing Date.
Section 2.2Disbursement to Borrower.
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ may request and receive only one borrowing hereunder in respect of the Loan and any amount borrowed and repaid hereunder in respect of the Loan may not be re-borrowed. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees that if the disbursement of the Loan is being, or will be made, through a title company who is to perform escrow services, Lender can rely upon such title company’s wire instructions submitted to Lender in connection with such disbursement in order to disburse the proceeds of the Loan escrow at such title company.
Section 2.3The Note and the Other Loan Documents.
The Loan shall be evidenced by the Note and this Agreement and secured by this Agreement, the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents.
Section 2.4Use of Proceeds.
Borrower shall use the proceeds of the Loan to do one or more of the following: (i) pay and discharge any existing loans relating to the Property, (ii) pay all past-due Taxes, Insurance Premiums and Other Charges, if any, in respect of the Property, (iii) make initial deposits of the Reserve Funds, (iv) pay costs and expenses incurred in connection with the closing of the Loan, and (v) to the extent any proceeds remain after satisfying clauses (i) through (iv) above, for such lawful purpose as Borrower shall designate in its sole discretion, including, for the avoidance of doubt, making one or more distributions to any member of Borrower, which designation shall be consistent with the terms of this Agreement. Borrower shall not, and shall ensure that each member of the Borrower Group shall not, directly or indirectly, use any of the proceeds of the Loan to fund, finance or facilitate any activities, business or transactions that would be prohibited by Sanctions, AML Law or Anti-Corruption Laws.
Section 2.5Interest Rate.
(a)Generally. Interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan shall accrue from the Closing Date up to but excluding the Maturity Date at the Interest Rate.
(b)Default Rate. In the event that, and for so long as, any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the outstanding principal balance of the Loan and, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, overdue interest in respect of the Loan, shall accrue interest at the Default Rate, (i) with respect to any Event of Default that can be cured solely with the payment of money, calculated from the date of the underlying Default without regard to any grace or cure periods contained herein and (ii) with respect to any Default that cannot be cured solely with the payment of money, calculated from the date of such Event of Default.
27




(c)Interest Calculation. Interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan shall accrue at the Interest Rate calculated on an Actual/360 Basis. Borrower acknowledges that interest calculated on an Actual/360 Basis exceeds interest calculated on a 30/360 Basis and, therefore: (i) a greater portion of each monthly installment of principal (if applicable) and interest will be applied to interest using the Actual/360 Basis than would be the case if interest accrued on a 30/360 Basis and (ii) the unpaid principal balance of the Loan on the Maturity Date will be greater using the Actual/360 Basis than would be the case if interest accrued on a 30/360 Basis.
(d)Usury Savings. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are subject to the express condition that at no time shall Borrower be required to pay interest on the principal balance of the Loan at a rate which could subject Lender to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate. If by the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the principal balance due hereunder at a rate in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate, the Interest Rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to the Maximum Legal Rate and all previous payments in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of principal without prepayment penalty or premium and not on account of the interest due hereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use or forbearance of the sums due under the Loan, shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of the Loan until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Loan does not exceed the Maximum Legal Rate from time to time in effect and applicable to the Loan for so long as the Loan is outstanding.
Section 2.6Loan Payments.
(a)Payment Before Maturity. Borrower shall make a payment to Lender of interest only on the Closing Date for the period from the Closing Date through (but excluding) the eleventh (11th) day of either (i) the month in which the Closing Date occurs (if such Closing Date is on or after the first (1st) day of such month, but prior to the eleventh (11th) day of such month) or (ii) if the Closing Date is after the eleventh (11th) day of the then current calendar month, the calendar month following the calendar month in which the Closing Date occurs (unless the Closing Date is the eleventh (11th) day of a calendar month, in which case no such separate payment of interest shall be due). Borrower shall make a payment to Lender of interest in the amount of the Monthly Payment Amount on the Monthly Payment Date occurring in February, 2025 and on each Monthly Payment Date thereafter to and including the Maturity Date. Each payment shall be applied first to accrued and unpaid interest and the balance, if any, to principal. For the avoidance of doubt, the Loan is interest-only for the entire term of the Loan.
(b)Intentionally Omitted.
(c)Payment on Maturity. Borrower shall pay to Lender on the Maturity Date the outstanding principal balance of the Loan, all accrued and unpaid interest and all other amounts due hereunder and under the Note, the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents.
(d)Late Payment Charge. If any principal, interest or any other sum due under the Loan Documents, other than the payment of principal due on the Maturity Date, is not paid by Borrower when due, Borrower shall pay to Lender upon demand an amount equal to the lesser of five percent (5%) of such unpaid sum or the maximum amount permitted by Applicable Law in order to defray the expense incurred by Lender in handling and processing such delinquent payment and to compensate Lender for the loss of the use of such delinquent payment. Any such amount shall be secured by the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents to the extent permitted by Applicable Law.
28




(e)Method and Place of Payment.
(i)Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all payments and prepayments under this Agreement and the Note shall be made to Lender not later than 12:00 Noon, California time, on the date when due and shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately available funds at Lender’s office, and any funds received by Lender after such time shall, for all purposes hereof, be deemed to have been paid on the next succeeding Business Day.
(ii)Whenever any payment to be made hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be deemed to be the immediately succeeding Business Day.
(iii)All payments required to be made by Borrower hereunder or under the Note or the other Loan Documents shall be made irrespective of, and without deduction for, any setoff, claim or counterclaim and shall be made irrespective of any defense thereto.
Section 2.7Prepayments.
(a)Voluntary Prepayments.
(i)Except as otherwise provided herein (and as otherwise provided in the Cash Management Agreement in connection with a DSCR Trigger Event Cure), Borrower shall not have the right to prepay the Loan in whole or in part. On and after the Monthly Payment Date in July, 2029 (the “Open Period Start Date”), Borrower may, provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, at its option and upon thirty (30) days prior notice to Lender (or such shorter period of time as may be permitted by Lender in its sole discretion), prepay the Debt in whole on any date without payment of the Yield Maintenance Premium. Any prepayment received by Lender on a date other than a Monthly Payment Date shall include interest which would have accrued thereon to the next Monthly Payment Date (such amounts, the “Interest Shortfall”). Notwithstanding any provisions of this Article 2 to the contrary, in addition to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s right to defease pursuant to Section 2.8 below and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s right to prepay on or after the Open Period Start Date as provided above, Borrower may prepay the Loan in whole, but not in part, at any time after the Defeasance Lockout Release Date upon the satisfaction of the following conditions:
(A)no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;
(B)not less than thirty (30) (but not more than ninety (90)) days prior written notice shall be given to Lender specifying a date on which the prepayment shall occur (the “Prepayment Date”). Such notice may be revoked by Borrower by notice to Lender not later than two (2) Business Days prior to the scheduled prepayment date provided Borrower pays all of Lender’s reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with the notices of prepayment and revocation;
(C)the Prepayment Date shall be a Monthly Payment Date or any other Business Day provided Borrower pays to Lender, together with the prepayment and any other amounts due hereunder, the Interest Shortfall;
(D)▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ has paid to Lender all accrued and unpaid interest on the Loan through and including the Prepayment Date (after taking into account any
29




Interest Shortfall payment pursuant to clause (C) above) together with all other sums due under the Note, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents;
(E)Borrower has paid to Lender a prepayment premium in an amount equal to the Yield Maintenance Premium; and
(F)Borrower has paid all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with such prepayment.
(ii)In addition to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s right to defease a portion of the Loan pursuant to Section 2.8(c), provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and remain uncured, in connection with a bona fide arm’s length sale of the 11600 Property and/or the 11620 Property to an independent third party, Borrower shall have the right at any time prior to the Defeasance Lockout Release Date to voluntarily prepay a portion of the Loan and obtain a release of the lien of the Security Instrument as to the 11600 Property and/or the 11620 Property upon satisfaction of the following conditions precedent:
(A)Borrower has paid to Lender a prepayment in an amount equal to the Release Price;
(B)Borrower has paid to Lender a prepayment premium in an amount equal to the Yield Maintenance Premium with respect to the portion of the principal amount of the Loan equal to the Release Price;
(C)Borrower has satisfied the conditions in Section 2.7(a)(i)(A), (B), (C), (D) and (F) above; and
(D)Borrower has satisfied the conditions in Section 2.8(c)(x), (xi) and (xii) and Section 11.3.
(iii)Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything herein to the contrary, Borrower may not exercise its rights pursuant to Section 2.7(a)(ii) during the period that commences on the date that is sixty (60) days prior to the date of any intended Securitization of the Loan and ending on the date that is sixty (60) days after the date of such Securitization of the Loan.
(b)Mandatory Prepayments. On each date on which Lender actually receives a distribution of Net Proceeds, and if such Net Proceeds are not required to be made available to Borrower for Restoration in accordance with the terms herein, and Lender does not otherwise agree to make such Net Proceeds available, Borrower shall (on the next Monthly Payment Date) prepay the outstanding principal balance of the Note in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of such Net Proceeds; provided, however, that Lender’s application of Net Proceeds toward the payment of the Debt in accordance with the terms of Section 7.4(c) hereof shall be deemed a prepayment by Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.7(b); and provided, further, that Borrower may, at its option within ninety (90) days after such prepayment, prepay the entire outstanding balance of the Loan. No Yield Maintenance Premium shall be due in connection with any prepayment made pursuant to this Section 2.7(b).
(c)Prepayments After Default. After (A) the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and (B)(i) any acceleration of the Debt, including, without limitation, any acceleration pursuant to Section 10.2(a) hereof due to an Event of Default under Section 10.1(g) hereof or (ii) any prepayment of the Debt, the Yield Maintenance Premium (or, if prior to the
30




Defeasance Lockout Release Date, the Default Yield Maintenance Premium) shall, in all cases, be deemed a portion of the Debt due and owing hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. Without limitation of the foregoing, if, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, (x) payment of all or any part of the Debt is tendered by Borrower (voluntarily or involuntarily), a purchaser at foreclosure, or any other Person (which such payment shall be deemed an attempt to circumvent the prohibition against prepayment prior to the Open Period Start Date as set forth herein), (y) Lender obtains a recovery of all or a portion of the Debt (through an exercise of remedies hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or otherwise), or (z) the Debt is deemed satisfied (in whole or in part) through an exercise of remedies hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or at law, the Yield Maintenance Premium (or, if prior to the Defeasance Lockout Release Date, the Default Yield Maintenance Premium), in addition to the outstanding principal balance, all accrued and unpaid interest, Interest Shortfall, and other amounts payable under the Loan Documents, shall be deemed due and payable hereunder. Borrower acknowledges that (i) a prepayment will cause damage to Lender; (ii) the Yield Maintenance Premium or the Default Yield Maintenance Premium, as applicable, is intended to compensate Lender for the loss of its investment and the expense incurred and time and effort associated with making the Loan, which will not be fully repaid if the Loan is tendered, prepaid or repaid (in each case, in whole or in part and voluntarily or involuntarily) prior to the Maturity Date; (iii) it will be extremely difficult and impractical to ascertain the extent of Lender’s damages caused by a prepayment after an acceleration or any other tender, prepayment or repayment of the Debt (in each case, in whole or in part and voluntarily or involuntarily) not permitted by the Loan Documents; and (iv) the Yield Maintenance Premium or the Default Yield Maintenance Premium, as applicable, represents ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s reasonable estimate of ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s damages from the prepayment and is not a penalty. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, any tender, prepayment or repayment of the Debt shall be applied to the Debt in such order and priority as may be determined by Lender in its sole discretion.
(d)Intentionally Omitted.
(e)Release of Lien. Unless the Loan is indefeasibly paid in full pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Loan Documents, no repayment, or prepayment or defeasance of all or any portion of the Note shall cause, give rise to a right to require, or otherwise result in, the release of the lien of the Security Instrument.
Section 2.8Defeasance.
(a)Total Defeasance. Provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and remain uncured, Borrower shall have the right at any time after the Defeasance Lockout Release Date and prior to the Open Period Start Date to voluntarily defease the entire Loan and obtain a release of the lien of the Security Instrument by providing Lender with the Total Defeasance Collateral (hereinafter, a “Total Defeasance Event”), subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions precedent:

(ii)Borrower shall pay to Lender (A) all payments of principal and interest due and payable on the Loan to and including the Total Defeasance Date; (B) all other sums, if any, then due and payable under the Note, this Agreement, the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents through and including the Total Defeasance Date (or, if the Total Defeasance Date is not a Monthly Payment Date, the next occurring
31




Monthly Payment Date (except to the extent that such amounts shall be paid, in timing and amount, by proceeds from the Total Defeasance Collateral); (C) all escrow, closing, recording, legal, appraisal, Rating Agency and other fees, costs and expenses paid or incurred by Lender or its agents in connection with the Total Defeasance Event, the release of the lien of Security Instrument on the Property, the review of the proposed Total Defeasance Collateral and the preparation of the Security Agreement and related documentation; and (D) any revenue, documentary stamp, intangible or other taxes, charges or fees due in connection with the transfer or assumption of the Note and/or the Total Defeasance Event;
(iii)Borrower shall deposit the Total Defeasance Collateral into the Defeasance Collateral Account and otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 2.8(d) hereof;
(iv)Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender a Security Agreement in respect of the Defeasance Collateral Account and the Total Defeasance Collateral;
(v)Borrower shall deliver to Lender an opinion of counsel for Borrower that is standard in commercial lending transactions and subject only to customary qualifications, assumptions and exceptions opining, among other things, that (A) Lender has a legal and valid perfected first priority security interest in the Defeasance Collateral Account and the Total Defeasance Collateral; (B) if a Securitization has occurred (1) the REMIC Trust formed pursuant to such Securitization and/or any subsequent or prior Securitization of the Loan or any portion thereof or interest therein will each not fail to maintain their respective status as a “real estate mortgage investment conduit” within the meaning of Section 860D of the IRS Code as a result of a Total Defeasance Event pursuant to this Section 2.8 and (2) the Total Defeasance Event would neither (I) constitute a “significant modification” of the Loan within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.860G-2(b) nor (II) cause the Loan to fail to be a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3)(A) of the IRS Code; and (C) a New Non-Consolidation Opinion with respect to the Successor Borrower.
(vi)following a Securitization, to the extent required by any Rating Agency that is rating the Securities, any pooling and servicing agreement, or any applicable Securitization document, Borrower shall deliver to Lender a Rating Agency Confirmation (provided, however, if the Rating Agency waives, declines or refuses to review or otherwise engage any request for a Rating Agency Confirmation made pursuant to this Section 2.8(a)(vi), Lender consent shall not be required) as to the Total Defeasance Event;
(vii)Borrower shall deliver an Officer’s Certificate certifying that the requirements set forth in this Section 2.8 have been satisfied;
(viii)Borrower shall deliver a certificate of a “big four” or other nationally recognized public accounting firm acceptable to Lender certifying that the Total Defeasance Collateral will generate monthly amounts equal to or greater than the Scheduled Defeasance Payments;
(ix)Borrower shall deliver such other certificates, opinions, documents and instruments as Lender may reasonably request; and
(x)Borrower shall pay all costs and expenses of Lender incurred in connection with the Total Defeasance Event, including, without limitation, ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and Rating Agency fees and expenses.
32




(b)If ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ has elected to defease the entire Note and the requirements of this Section 2.8 have been satisfied, the Property shall be released from the lien of the Security Instrument and the Total Defeasance Collateral pledged pursuant to the Security Agreement shall be the sole source of collateral securing the Note. In connection with the release of the lien, Borrower shall submit to Lender, not less than thirty (30) days prior to the Total Defeasance Date (or such shorter time as is acceptable to Lender in its sole discretion), a release of lien (and related Loan Documents) for execution by ▇▇▇▇▇▇. Such release shall be in a form appropriate in the jurisdiction in which the Property is located and shall contain standard provisions protecting the rights of the releasing lender. In addition, Borrower shall provide all other documentation Lender reasonably requires to be delivered by Borrower in connection with such release, together with an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such documentation (i) is in compliance with all Applicable Law, and (ii) will affect such release in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Borrower shall pay all costs, taxes and expenses associated with the release of the lien of the Security Instrument, including ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s reasonable attorneys’ fees.
(c)Partial Defeasance. Provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and remain uncured, in connection with a bona fide arm’s length sale of the 11600 Property and/or the 11620 Property to an independent third party, Borrower shall have the right at any time after the Defeasance Lockout Release Date and prior to the Open Period Start Date to voluntarily defease a portion of the Loan and obtain a release of the lien of the Security Instrument as to the 11600 Property and/or the 11620 Property by providing Lender with the Partial Defeasance Collateral (hereinafter, a “Partial Defeasance Event”) upon satisfaction of the following conditions precedent:

(ii)Borrower shall pay to Lender (A) all payments of principal and interest due and payable on the Loan to and including the Partial Defeasance Date (provided that, if such Partial Defeasance Date is not a Monthly Payment Date, Borrower shall also pay to Lender all payments of principal and interest due on the Loan to and including the next occurring Monthly Payment Date); (B) all other sums, if any, then due and payable under the Note, this Agreement, the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents through and including the Partial Defeasance Date (or, if the Partial Defeasance Date is not a Monthly Payment Date, the next occurring Monthly Payment Date); (C) all escrow, closing, recording, legal, appraisal (if any), Rating Agency and other fees, costs and expenses paid or incurred by Lender or its agents in connection with the Partial Defeasance Event, the release of the lien of the Security Instrument on the applicable Individual Property, the review of the proposed Partial Defeasance Collateral and the preparation of the Security Agreement and related documentation; and (D) any revenue, documentary stamp, intangible or other taxes, charges or fees due in connection with the transfer or assumption of the Defeased Note and/or the Partial Defeasance Event;

The Defeased Note and Undefeased Note shall have identical terms as the Note except for the principal balance; and, in connection therewith, the Monthly Payment Amount and the amount of each such payment applied to principal thereafter (if any) shall be divided between the Defeased Note and the Undefeased Note in the same proportion as the unpaid principal balance (in each case immediately after the Partial Defeasance Event) of the Defeased Note and the Undefeased Note, as the case may be, bears to the aggregate principal balance due under the Defeased Note and the Undefeased Note immediately after the Partial Defeasance Event.

(c)In connection with a Secondary Market Transaction in connection with the Loan (or any portion thereof or interest therein), at ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s written request, Borrower shall provide an estoppel certificate to any Investor or any prospective Investor in such form, substance and detail as Lender, such Investor or prospective Investor may reasonably require.
(d)Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver to Lender, upon written request, estoppel certificates from each party under each REA and each Material Agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender. Other than in connection with a Secondary Market Transaction or upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower shall not be required to provide the estoppel certificates required by this Section 4.13(d) more than once in any twelve (12) month period.
Section 4.14Leases and Rents.
(a)Upon request, Borrower shall, in a reasonably timely manner, furnish Lender with executed copies of all Leases then in effect. All renewals of Leases and all proposed Leases shall provide for rental rates and terms comparable to existing local market rates. Within ten (10) days after the execution of a Lease or any renewals, amendments or modification of a Lease, Borrower shall deliver to Lender a copy thereof, together with Borrower’s certification that such Lease (or such renewal, amendment or modification) was entered into in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(b)Any Lease and any renewals, amendments or modification of a Lease (provided such Lease or Lease renewal, amendment or modification is not a Major Lease (or a renewal, amendment or modification to a Major Lease)) that meets the following requirements may be entered into by Borrower without Lender’s prior consent: such Lease (i) provides for rental rates comparable to existing local market rates for similar properties and is otherwise on commercially reasonable terms, (ii) unless a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement is delivered pursuant to this Section 4.14, provides that such Lease is subordinate to the Security Instrument and that the Tenant will attorn to Lender and any purchaser at a foreclosure sale, (iii) other than with respect to proposed retail leases with investment grade tenants (or guaranteed by an investment grade tenant) or tenants who have not less than twenty-five (25) stores nationally, or proposed office leases with a State university (i.e., UCLA) or other tenant operating a national or regional medical system (i.e., Cedars), is written substantially in accordance with the standard form of Lease delivered to Lender prior to the Closing Date or which shall have been delivered after the Closing Date and reasonably approved by Lender
56




(subject to any commercially-reasonable changes made in the course of negotiations with the applicable Tenant), (iv) is not with an Affiliate of Borrower or any Guarantor, and (v) does not contain any option to purchase, any right of first refusal to purchase, any right to terminate (except in the event of the destruction or condemnation of substantially all of the Property) or any other terms which would cause a Material Adverse Effect. All other Leases (including Major Leases) and all renewals, amendments and modifications thereof (including, without limitation, any subletting or assignment thereunder not contemplated by the express terms of such Lease (other than any subletting or assignment which does not require Borrower’s consent under such Lease)) or waivers thereunder executed (or otherwise agreed to) after the date hereof shall be subject to ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s prior approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
(c)Lender shall execute and deliver a Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement on Lender’s then current standard form to Tenants under future Major Leases approved by Lender in accordance with Section 4.14(b) hereof promptly upon request with such commercially reasonable changes as may be requested by Tenants, from time to time, as are reasonably acceptable to Lender. ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s execution of a Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement which is not in compliance with the foregoing sentence shall be at ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s sole discretion and subject to such additional conditions as Lender shall reasonably determine. Provided (i) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and be continuing and/or (ii) the Loan is not being serviced by a special servicer or the request does not require the consent of a special servicer or other third party, Borrower shall not be liable to Lender or any master servicer for any fees associated with Lender’s approval of any Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement on Lender’s then-current form, but shall otherwise be liable for Lender’s actual costs and expenses pursuant to Section 17.6.
(d)Borrower (i) shall observe and perform the obligations imposed upon the lessor under the Leases in all material respects in a commercially reasonable manner; (ii) shall enforce the terms, covenants and conditions contained in the Leases upon the part of the lessee thereunder to be observed or performed in a commercially reasonable manner, provided, however, Borrower shall not terminate or accept a surrender of a Major Lease without ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s prior approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; (iii) shall not collect any of the Rents more than one (1) month in advance (other than security deposits); (iv) shall not execute any assignment of lessor’s interest in the Leases or the Rents (except as contemplated by the Loan Documents); (v) with respect to any Lease that required ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s prior consent to enter into pursuant to the terms of Section 4.14(b) (or would require Lender’s prior consent as a result of the modification), shall not, without Lender’s consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, alter, modify or change such Lease so as to change the amount of or payment date for rent, change the expiration date, grant any option for additional space or term, materially reduce the obligations of the lessee or increase the obligations of lessor; and (vi) shall hold all security deposits under all Leases in accordance with Applicable Law.
(e)Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Borrower shall not willfully withhold from Lender any information regarding renewal, extension, amendment, modification, waiver of provisions of, termination, rental reduction of, surrender of space of, or shortening of the term of, any Lease during the term of the Loan.
(f)Borrower shall notify Lender in writing, within five (5) Business Days following receipt thereof, of Borrower’s receipt of any termination fee or payment (“Lease Event Payment”) paid by any Tenant under any Lease in consideration of any termination, modification or amendment or settlement of any Lease or any release or discharge of any Tenant under any Lease from any obligation thereunder (a “Lease Event”). Borrower further covenants and agrees that (i) Borrower shall hold any such Lease Event Payment in trust for the benefit of
57




Lender and (ii) (A) in the event such Lease Event Payment is less than $150,000 and such Lease Event does not have a Material Adverse Effect, and provided no Event of Default or Cash Trap Event Period has occurred and is continuing, such Lease Event Payment shall be payable to Borrower or (B) in the event such Lease Event Payment equals or exceeds $150,000, such Lease Event has a Material Adverse Effect, an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, or a Cash Trap Event Period has occurred and is continuing, such Lease Event Payment shall be placed by Borrower in reserve with Lender, to be disbursed by Lender for tenant improvement and leasing commission costs with respect to the applicable Individual Property and/or for payment of the Debt or otherwise in connection with the Loan and/or the applicable Individual Property, as so determined by Lender, in its sole discretion.
(g)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, to the extent ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s prior approval is required for any leasing matters set forth in this Section 4.14, Lender shall have ten (10) Business Days from receipt of written request and all required information and documentation relating thereto in which to approve or disapprove such matter, provided that such request to Lender is marked in bold lettering with the following language: “▇▇▇▇▇▇’S RESPONSE IS REQUIRED WITHIN TEN (10) BUSINESS DAYS OF RECEIPT OF THIS NOTICE PURSUANT TO THE TERMS OF A LOAN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE UNDERSIGNED AND LENDER,” and the envelope containing the request must be marked “PRIORITY.” In the event that Lender fails to approve, disapprove or request more information of the leasing matter in question within such time, ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s approval shall be deemed given for all purposes. Borrower shall provide Lender with such information and documentation as may be reasonably required by Lender, including, without limitation, lease comparables and other market information as reasonably required by Lender. For purposes of clarification, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ requesting additional and/or clarified information, in addition to approving or denying any request (in whole or in part), shall be deemed a response by Lender for purposes of the foregoing. Provided (i) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and be continuing and/or (ii) the Loan is not being serviced by a special servicer or the request does not require the consent of a special servicer or other third party, Borrower shall not be liable to Lender or any master servicer for any fees associated with ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s approval of any leasing matters required under this Section 4.14, but shall otherwise be liable for Lender’s actual costs and expenses pursuant to Section 17.6. In addition, Borrower may, at Borrower’s option, prior to delivering to Lender a draft of any such new Lease, Lease amendment, Lease modification or Lease renewal for Lender’s approval, first deliver to Lender for Lender’s approval a term sheet setting forth the material economic and other business terms (the “Material Business Terms”) of such proposed Lease, Lease amendment, Lease modification or Lease renewal, together with all other materials reasonably requested by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ in order to evaluate such Material Business Terms. In the event that the Material Business Terms are provided to Lender in accordance with the first sentence of this subsection (g) and Lender fails to approve, disapprove or request more information with respect to the Material Business Terms within the applicable time, then ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s approval shall be deemed given in accordance with this Section. Subject to the approval time periods set forth above with respect to Leases, Lease amendments, Lease modifications and Lease renewals, so long as any Lease or Lease modification submitted to Lender for approval: (a) does not contain Material Business Terms which differ in any respect from the Material Business Terms approved by Lender, and (b) otherwise does not contain any lease terms which deviate in any material respect from the terms of the standard form of lease previously submitted to Lender (except as stated in the Material Business Terms which have been approved or deemed approved by Lender), Lender’s consent to such Lease, Lease amendment, Lease modification or Lease renewal shall not be required.
Section 4.15Management Agreement.
(a)Borrower shall (i) diligently perform, observe and enforce all of the material terms, covenants and conditions of the Management Agreement on the part of Borrower to be
58




performed, observed and enforced to the end that all things shall be done which are necessary to keep unimpaired the rights of Borrower under the Management Agreement and (ii) promptly notify Lender of the giving of any notice to Borrower of any default beyond applicable notice, grace and/or cure periods by Borrower in the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of the Management Agreement on the part of Borrower to be performed and observed and deliver to Lender a true copy of each such notice. Without ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, Borrower shall not surrender the Management Agreement, consent to the assignment by Manager of its interest under the Management Agreement, or terminate or cancel the Management Agreement or modify, change, supplement, alter or amend the Management Agreement, in any material respect, either orally or in writing, and Borrower hereby assigns to Lender as further security for the payment of the Debt and for the performance and observance of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Agreement, all the rights, privileges and prerogatives of Borrower to surrender the Management Agreement or to terminate, cancel, modify, change, supplement, alter or amend the Management Agreement in any respect, and any such surrender of the Management Agreement, termination or cancellation, or material modification, change, supplement, alteration or amendment of the Management Agreement in violation of this Section 4.15(a) shall be void and of no force and effect. Provided (x) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and be continuing and/or (y) the Loan is not being serviced by a special servicer or the request does not require the consent of a special servicer or other third party, Borrower shall not be liable to Lender or any master servicer for any fees associated with Lender’s consent required under this Section 4.15(a), but shall otherwise be liable for Lender’s actual costs and expenses pursuant to Section 17.6.
(b)If Borrower shall default beyond applicable notice, grace and/or cure periods in the performance or observance of any material term, covenant or condition of the Management Agreement on the part of Borrower to be performed or observed, then, without limiting the generality of the other provisions of this Agreement, and without waiving or releasing Borrower from any of its obligations hereunder, Lender shall have the right, but shall be under no obligation, to pay any sums and to perform any act or take any action as may be appropriate to cause all the terms, covenants and conditions of the Management Agreement on the part of Borrower to be performed or observed to be promptly performed or observed on behalf of Borrower, to the end that the rights of Borrower in, to and under the Management Agreement shall be kept unimpaired and free from default. Lender and any person designated by Lender shall have, and are hereby granted, the right to enter upon the Property at any time and from time to time for the purpose of taking any such action. If Manager shall deliver to Lender a copy of any notice sent to Borrower of default under the Management Agreement, such notice shall constitute full protection to Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken by Lender in good faith, in reliance thereon.
(c)Borrower shall notify Lender if Manager sub-contracts to a third party or an affiliate any or all of its management responsibilities under the Management Agreement promptly upon learning the same. Upon request from ▇▇▇▇▇▇, Borrower shall, from time to time, but no more than once per calendar year, use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain from Manager under the Management Agreement such certificates of estoppel with respect to compliance by Borrower with the terms of the Management Agreement as may reasonably be requested by ▇▇▇▇▇▇. Borrower shall exercise each individual option, if any, to extend or renew the term of the Management Agreement upon demand by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ made at any time within one (1) year of the last day upon which any such option may be exercised, and Borrower hereby expressly authorizes and appoints Lender its attorney-in-fact to exercise any such option in the name of and upon behalf of Borrower, which power of attorney shall be irrevocable and shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest. Any sums expended by Lender pursuant to this paragraph shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date such cost is incurred to the date of payment to Lender, shall be deemed to constitute a portion of the Debt, shall be secured by the lien of the
59




Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents and shall be immediately due and payable upon demand by Lender therefor.
(d)Without limitation of the foregoing, if the Management Agreement is terminated pursuant to the Assignment of Management Agreement or for any other reason, then Lender, at its option, may require Borrower to engage, in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Assignment of Management Agreement, a new manager (the “New Manager”) to manage the applicable Individual Property, which such New Manager shall be a Qualified Manager. New Manager shall be engaged by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ pursuant to a written management agreement that complies with the terms hereof and of the Assignment of Management Agreement and is otherwise reasonably satisfactory to Lender in all material respects. New Manager and Borrower shall execute an Assignment of Management Agreement in the form then used by Lender. Without limitation of the foregoing, if required by ▇▇▇▇▇▇, Borrower shall, as a condition precedent to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s engagement of such New Manager, obtain a Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to such New Manager and management agreement. To the extent that such New Manager is an Affiliated Manager, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s engagement of such New Manager shall be subject to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s delivery to Lender of a New Non-Consolidation Opinion with respect to such New Manager and new management agreement. For all purposes under the Loan Documents, Manager, Harvest Properties, Inc., ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ LaSalle, CBRE, and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, CIM Group, LLC or an affiliate of CIM Group, LLC, are each hereby approved as a “New Manager” unless, in each case, such entity is ever terminated as a manager of the Property pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents.
(e)Borrower hereby covenants with Lender that during the term of this Agreement: (i) Borrower shall not transfer the responsibility for the management of any Individual Property from Manager to any other person or entity without prior written notification to Lender and, to the extent required pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the Assignment of Management Agreement, the prior written consent of Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; (ii) Borrower shall not terminate or amend any of the terms or provisions of the Management Agreement without the prior written consent of Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; and (iii) Borrower shall, in the manner provided for in the Assignment of Management Agreement, give notice to Lender of any notice or information that Borrower receives which indicates that Manager is terminating the Management Agreement or that Manager is otherwise discontinuing its management of the applicable Individual Property.
Section 4.16Payment for Labor and Materials.
(a)Subject to Section 4.16(b), Borrower will promptly pay (or cause to be paid) when due all bills and costs for labor, materials, and specifically fabricated materials incurred in connection with the Property (any such bills and costs, a “Work Charge”) and never permit to exist beyond fifteen (15) Business Days after the date that Borrower becomes aware thereof in respect of the Property or any part thereof any lien or security interest, even though inferior to the liens and the security interests hereof, and in any event never permit to be created or exist in respect of the Property or any part thereof any other or additional lien or security interest other than the liens or security interests created hereby and by the Security Instrument, except for the Permitted Encumbrances.
(b)After prior written notice to Lender, Borrower, at its own expense, may contest by appropriate legal proceeding, promptly initiated and conducted in good faith and with due diligence, the validity of any Work Charge, the applicability of any Work Charge to Borrower or to any Individual Property or any alleged non-payment of any Work Charge and defer paying the same, provided that (i) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (for the avoidance of doubt, a Work Charge, in and of itself, cannot give rise to an Event of Default pursuant to
60




Section 10.1(i) if such Work Charge is then being contested in accordance with this Section 4.16(b)); (ii) such proceeding shall be permitted under and be conducted in accordance with the provisions of any instrument to which Borrower is subject and shall not constitute a default thereunder and such proceeding shall be conducted in accordance with all Applicable Law; (iii) neither the applicable Individual Property nor any part thereof or interest therein will be in imminent danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost; (iv) Borrower shall promptly upon final determination thereof pay (or cause to be paid) any such contested Work Charge determined to be valid, applicable or unpaid; (v) such proceeding shall suspend the collection of such contested Work Charge from the Property or Borrower shall have paid the same (or shall have caused the same to be paid) under protest; and (vi) Borrower shall furnish (or cause to be furnished) such security as may be required in the proceeding, or as may be reasonably requested by ▇▇▇▇▇▇, to insure payment of such Work Charge, together with all interest and penalties payable in connection therewith. Lender may apply any such security or part thereof, as necessary to pay for such Work Charge at any time when, in the reasonable judgment of Lender, the validity, applicability or non-payment of such Work Charge is finally established or the applicable Individual Property (or any part thereof or interest therein) shall be in imminent danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost.
Section 4.17Intentionally Omitted.
Section 4.18Debt Cancellation.
Borrower shall not cancel or otherwise forgive or release any claim or debt (other than termination of Leases in accordance herewith) owed to Borrower by any Person, except for adequate consideration and in the ordinary course of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s business.

(a)Borrower shall not engage in any transaction which would cause any obligation, or action taken or to be taken, hereunder (or the exercise by Lender of any of its rights under the Note, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents) to be a non-exempt (under a statutory or administrative exemption) prohibited transaction under ERISA or constitute a violation of any state statute, regulation or ruling impacting a Defined Benefit Plan or a governmental plan.
(b)Borrower shall deliver to Lender such certifications or other evidence from time to time, but not more than once per year, throughout the term of the Loan, as reasonably requested by ▇▇▇▇▇▇, that (A) Borrower is not an “employee benefit plan” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, which is subject to Title I of ERISA, or a “governmental plan” within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA; (B) either (i) Borrower is not subject to any state statute, regulation or ruling regulating investments of, or fiduciary obligations with respect to, governmental plans or (ii) the condition set forth in clause (C)(v) below is true; and (C) one or more of the following circumstances is true:

(h)Transferee shall assume the obligations of Borrower under any Management Agreement or provide a new management agreement with a new manager which meets with the requirements of the Assignment of Management Agreement and Section 4.15 hereof and assign to Lender as additional security such new management agreement;
(i)Transferee shall furnish to Lender a New Non-Consolidation Opinion and an opinion of counsel satisfactory to Lender and its counsel (A) that Transferee’s formation documents provide for the matters described in subparagraph (g) above, (B) that the assumption of the Debt has been duly authorized, executed and delivered, and that the assumption agreement and the other Loan Documents are valid, binding and enforceable against Transferee in accordance with their terms, (C) that Transferee and any entity which is a controlling stockholder, member or general partner of Transferee, have been duly organized, and are in existence and good standing, (D) that the transfer will not constitute a “significant modification” of the Loan within the meaning of Treasury Regulation 1.860G-2(b) or otherwise cause a tax to be imposed on a “prohibited transaction” by any REMIC Trust, and (E) with respect to such other matters as Lender may reasonably request;
77




(j)the proposed transfer of all of the Individual Properties to the Transferee shall not constitute a Covered Transaction or, if the proposed transfer of all of the Individual Properties to the Transferee is a Covered Transaction, then CFIUS Approval shall be obtained with respect to such proposed transfer;

Borrower may, from time to time, but not exceeding twice per calendar year, replace or supplement the REIT Guarantor with a Satisfactory Replacement Guarantor pursuant to the terms of Section 23 of the Guaranty.

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)Intentionally omitted.
(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 necessary to protect its interest in the Property, including, without limitation, the obtaining of such insurance coverage as Lender in its sole discretion deems appropriate, and all expenses 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 upon demand and until paid shall be secured by the Security Instrument and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.
(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 Borrower in and to the Policies then in force concerning the Property and all proceeds payable thereunder shall thereupon vest exclusively in Lender or the purchaser at such foreclosure or other transferee in the event of such other transfer of title.
(i)As an alternative to the Policies required to be maintained pursuant to the preceding provisions of this Section 7.1, Borrower will not be in default under this Section 7.1 if Borrower maintains (or causes to be maintained) Policies which (i) have coverages, deductibles
84




and/or other related provisions other than those specified above and/or (ii) are provided by insurance companies not meeting the credit ratings requirements set forth above (any such Policy, a “Non-Conforming Policy”), provided that, prior to obtaining such Non-Conforming Policies (or permitting such Non-Conforming Policies to be obtained), Borrower shall have received Lender’s prior written consent thereto (which consent may be contingent on Lender’s receipt of a Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to any such Non-Conforming Policy).
(j)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 (defined below) (such insurance policies, the “Applicable Policies”). Such Terrorism Coverage shall comply with each of the applicable requirements for Policies set forth above (including, without limitation, those relating to deductibles); provided that, Lender, at Lender’s option, may reasonably require 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 Reauthorization Act of 2019 (as the same may have been and 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, whether or not TRIPRA or subsequent statute, extension, or reauthorization is in effect, Borrower shall be required to carry terrorism insurance throughout the term of the Loan as required by the preceding sentence; provided, however, if TRIPRA (or such subsequent statute, extension or reauthorization) is not in effect Borrower shall not be required to pay annual premiums in excess of the TC Cap (defined below) in order to obtain the Terrorism Coverage (but Borrower shall be obligated to purchase the maximum amount of Terrorism Coverage available with funds equal to the TC Cap). As used above, “TC Cap” shall mean an amount equal to two (2) times the premium for a separate “Special Form” or “All Risks” policy or equivalent policy insuring only the Property on a stand-alone basis (including, without limitation, the insurance required pursuant to Subsections 7.1(a)(i) and (iii) hereof) at the time that any Terrorism Coverage is excluded from any Applicable Policy.
Section 7.2Casualty.
If any Individual Property shall be damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty (a “Casualty”), Borrower shall give prompt notice of such damage to Lender and shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the completion of the repair and restoration of the applicable Individual Property as nearly as possible to the condition the applicable Individual Property was in immediately prior to such Casualty, with such alterations as may be reasonably approved by Lender (a “Restoration”) and otherwise in accordance with Section 7.4. Borrower shall pay all costs of such Restoration whether or not such costs are covered by insurance. Lender may, but shall not be obligated to make proof of loss if not made promptly by Borrower.
Section 7.3Condemnation.
Borrower shall promptly give Lender notice of the actual or, to the extent Borrower is aware thereof, threatened commencement of any proceeding for the Condemnation of the Property of which ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ has knowledge and shall deliver to Lender copies of any and all papers served in connection with such proceedings. Lender may participate in any such proceedings, and Borrower shall from time to time deliver to Lender all instruments requested by it to permit such participation; provided, that Lender shall have no right pursuant to this sentence
85




to take any action in connection with such proceedings on behalf of Borrower. Borrower shall, at its expense, diligently prosecute any such proceedings, and shall consult with ▇▇▇▇▇▇, its attorneys and experts, and reasonably cooperate with them in the carrying on or defense of any such proceedings. Notwithstanding any taking by any public or quasi-public authority through Condemnation or otherwise (including but not limited to any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of the exercise of such taking), Borrower shall continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided for its payment in the Note and in this Agreement and the Debt shall not be reduced until any Award shall have been actually received and applied by Lender, after the deduction of expenses of collection, to the reduction or discharge of the Debt. Lender shall not be limited to the interest paid on the Award by the condemning authority but shall be entitled to receive out of the Award interest at the rate or rates provided herein or in the Note. If the Property or any portion thereof is taken by a condemning authority, Borrower shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the Restoration of the Property and otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 7.4. If the Property is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ of the Award, Lender shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Note shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive the Award, or a portion thereof sufficient to pay the Debt.
Section 7.4Restoration.
The following provisions shall apply in connection with the Restoration of any Individual Property:
(a)If the Net Proceeds shall be less than the Restoration Threshold and the costs of completing the Restoration shall be less than the Restoration Threshold, the Net Proceeds will be disbursed by Lender to Borrower upon receipt, provided that the conditions set forth in Section 7.4(b)(i) are met.
(b)If the Net Proceeds are equal to or greater than the Restoration Threshold or the costs of completing the Restoration are equal to or greater than the Restoration Threshold, Lender shall make the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.4.
(i)The Net Proceeds shall be made available for Restoration provided that each of the following conditions are met:
(A)no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;
(B)(1) in the event the Net Proceeds are insurance proceeds, less than forty percent (40%) of the rentable area of the applicable Individual Property has been damaged, destroyed or rendered unusable as a result of a Casualty or (2) in the event the Net Proceeds are condemnation proceeds, less than fifteen percent (15%) of the rentable area of the applicable Individual Property is taken, no portion of the Improvements is located on such land and such taking does not materially impair the existing access to the applicable Individual Property;
(C)Leases demising in the aggregate a percentage amount equal to or greater than 75% of the total rentable space in the applicable Individual Property which has been demised under executed and delivered Leases in effect as
86




of the date of the occurrence of such fire or other casualty or taking, whichever the case may be, shall remain in full force and effect during and after the completion of the Restoration, notwithstanding the occurrence of any such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, and Borrower furnishes to Lender evidence satisfactory to Lender that all Tenants under Major Leases shall continue to operate their respective space at the applicable Individual Property after the completion of the Restoration;
(D)Borrower shall commence the Restoration (and Lender hereby acknowledges that the making of formal requests for obtaining required permits and approvals from applicable Governmental Authorities for the Restoration shall be considered commencing the Restoration) as soon as reasonably practicable (but in no event later than sixty (60) days after the issuance of all necessary building permits with respect thereto) and shall diligently pursue the same to reasonably satisfactory completion in compliance with all Applicable Laws, in all material respects, including, without limitation, all applicable Environmental Laws;
(E)Lender shall be reasonably satisfied that any operating deficits which will be incurred with respect to the applicable Individual Property as a result of the occurrence of any such fire or other casualty or taking will be covered out of (1) the Net Proceeds, (2) the insurance coverage referred to in Section 7.1(a)(iii) above, or (3) by other funds of Borrower;
(F)Intentionally omitted;
(G)Lender shall be reasonably satisfied that the Restoration will be completed on or before the earliest to occur of (1) six (6) months prior to the Maturity Date, (2) the expiration of the insurance coverage referred to in Section 7.1(a)(iii) above, (3) such time as may be required under applicable zoning law, ordinance, rule or regulation in order to repair and restore the applicable Individual Property to the condition it was in immediately prior to such fire or other casualty or taking or in a manner otherwise reasonably satisfactory to Lender, or (4) the earliest date required for such completion under the terms of any Material Agreements or REA;
(H)the applicable Individual Property and the use thereof after the Restoration will be in compliance with and permitted under any REA, any Material Agreements and all Applicable Law;
(I)subject to Acceptable Delay, the Restoration shall be done and completed in an expeditious and diligent fashion and in compliance with any REA, any Material Agreements and all Applicable Law; and
(J)Lender shall be satisfied that making the Net Proceeds available for Restoration shall be permitted pursuant to REMIC Requirements.
(ii)The Net Proceeds, to the extent not disbursed directly to Borrower pursuant to Section 7.4(a) above, shall be held by Lender in an interest-bearing Eligible Account and, until disbursed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.4(b), shall constitute additional security for the Debt and other obligations under this Agreement, the Security Instrument, the Note and the other Loan Documents. Any
87




interest earned on the Net Proceeds shall be credited to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and added to the Net Proceeds and shall be disbursed as provided in this Section 7.4. The Net Proceeds (other than the Rent Loss Proceeds) shall be disbursed by Lender to, or as directed by, Borrower from time to time during the course of the Restoration, upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that (A) all materials installed and work and labor performed (except to the extent that they are to be paid for out of the requested disbursement) in connection with the related Restoration item have been paid for in full, and (B) there exist no notices of pendency, stop orders, mechanic’s or materialman’s liens or notices of intention to file same, or any other liens or encumbrances of any nature whatsoever on the applicable Individual Property (other than Permitted Encumbrances or liens contested by Borrower in accordance with Sections 4.2(b), 4.5(b) or 4.16(b)) which have not either been fully bonded to the reasonable satisfaction of Lender and discharged of record or in the alternative fully insured to the reasonable satisfaction of Lender by the title company issuing the Title Insurance Policy.
(iii)All plans and specifications required in connection with the Restoration shall be subject to prior review and acceptance in all reasonable respects by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and by an independent consulting engineer reasonably selected by Lender (the “Casualty Consultant”), which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. All such plans and specifications and all permits, licenses and approvals required or obtained in connection with the Restoration shall be collaterally assigned to Lender as additional collateral for the Loan and Lender shall have the use of the same. The identity of the contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration shall be subject to prior review and reasonable acceptance by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and the Casualty Consultant. All reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses reasonably incurred by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ in connection with making the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration including, without limitation, reasonable counsel fees and disbursements and the Casualty Consultant’s fees, shall be paid by Borrower. Subject to ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s prior, written approval of settlements (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), Borrower shall have the right to negotiate and settle all claims under the Policies, provided that (a) no Event of Default exists, (b) Borrower promptly and with commercially reasonable diligence negotiates a settlement of any such claims and (c) the insurer with respect to the Policy under which such claim is brought has not raised any act of the insured as a defense to the payment of such claim. If an Event of Default exists, Lender shall, at its election, have the exclusive right to settle or adjust any claims made under the Policies in the event of a Casualty.
(iv)In no event shall Lender be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds in excess of an amount equal to the costs actually incurred from time to time for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, minus the Restoration Retainage. For the avoidance of doubt, “costs actually incurred” in the previous sentence shall include all fees or other amounts paid to Guarantor or any of its Affiliates for products and/or services provided in connection with such Restoration, pursuant to written, arms-length contracts entered into in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement; provided, however, that any such amount shall not exceed the market value of such products and services as reasonably determined by the Casualty Consultant. The term “Restoration Retainage” as used in this Section 7.4(b) shall mean an amount equal to 10% of the costs actually incurred for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, until such time as the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that Net Proceeds representing 50% of the required Restoration have been disbursed. There shall be no Restoration Retainage with respect to costs actually incurred by Borrower for work in place in completing the last 50% of the required Restoration. The Restoration Retainage shall in no event, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above in this Section 7.4(b), be less than the amount
88




actually held back by Borrower from contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration. The Restoration Retainage shall not be released until the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.4(b) and that all approvals necessary for the re-occupancy and use of the Property have been obtained from all appropriate governmental and quasi-governmental authorities, and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ receives evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that the costs of the Restoration have been paid in full or will be paid in full out of the Restoration Retainage, provided, however, that Lender will release the portion of the Restoration Retainage being held with respect to any contractor, subcontractor or materialman engaged in the Restoration as of the date upon which the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the contractor, subcontractor or materialman has reasonably satisfactorily completed all work and has supplied all materials in accordance with the provisions of the contractor’s, subcontractor’s or materialman’s contract, and the contractor, subcontractor or materialman delivers the lien waivers and evidence of payment in full of all sums due to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman as may be reasonably requested by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ or by the title company insuring the lien of the Security Instrument. If required by Lender, the release of any such portion of the Restoration Retainage shall be approved by the surety company, if any, which has issued a payment or performance bond with respect to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman.
(v)Lender shall not be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds more frequently than once every calendar month.
(vi)If at any time the Net Proceeds or the undisbursed balance thereof shall not, in the reasonable opinion of Lender in consultation with the Casualty Consultant, be sufficient to pay in full the balance of the costs which are estimated by the Casualty Consultant to be incurred in connection with the completion of the Restoration, Borrower shall either (i) deposit the deficiency (the “Net Proceeds Deficiency”) with Lender before any further disbursement of the Net Proceeds shall be made or (ii) provide a completion guaranty in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender from a guarantor reasonably acceptable to Lender (together with such resolutions, opinions and other documentation relating to such guaranty and/or such guarantor as may be reasonably required by Lender). The Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender shall be held by Lender and shall be disbursed for costs actually incurred in connection with the Restoration on the same conditions applicable to the disbursement of the Net Proceeds, and until so disbursed pursuant to this Section 7.4(b) shall constitute additional security for the Debt and other obligations under this Agreement, the Security Instrument, the Note and the other Loan Documents.
(vii)The excess, if any, of the Net Proceeds and the remaining balance, if any, of the Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender after the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.4(b), and the receipt by Lender of evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that all costs incurred in connection with the Restoration have been paid in full, shall be promptly remitted by Lender to Borrower, provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and shall be continuing under this Agreement, the Security Instrument, the Note or any of the other Loan Documents.
(c)All Net Proceeds not required (i) to be made available for the Restoration or (ii) to be returned to Borrower as excess Net Proceeds pursuant to Section 7.4(b)(vii) shall be retained and applied by Lender (on a Monthly Payment Date) toward the payment of the Debt whether or not then due and payable in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its discretion shall deem proper, but without any requirement to pay any Yield Maintenance Premium, prepayment
89




premium, or any other premium or penalty in connection therewith. If Lender shall receive and retain Net Proceeds, (x) the lien of the Security Instrument shall be reduced only by the amount thereof received and retained by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and actually applied by Lender in reduction of the Debt, and (y) if the Net Proceeds are actually applied by Lender in reduction of the Debt, the Monthly Payment Amount shall be adjusted accordingly by Lender to reflect such application of Net Proceeds in reduction of the Debt and, if applicable, the re-amortization of the remaining principal balance of the Loan over the remaining amortization period. No prepayment premium or penalty shall be due in connection with any prepayment made pursuant to this Section 7.4(c).
(d)Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.4 or anything herein to the contrary, this Section 7.4 is subject to the terms of Section 11.3 hereof to the extent applicable with respect to any Casualty or Condemnation.
Article 8.

RESERVE FUNDS
Section 8.1Tax Reserve Funds.
(a)On the Closing Date, Borrower shall deposit with Lender the amount of $1,126,644.00 and Borrower shall deposit with Lender on each Monthly Payment Date an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12th) of the Taxes at each Individual Property that Lender reasonably estimates will be payable during the next ensuing twelve (12) months in order to accumulate sufficient funds to pay all such Taxes at least ten (10) days prior to their respective due dates (the “Monthly Tax Deposit”). Amounts deposited pursuant to this Section 8.1 are referred to herein as the “Tax Reserve Funds”. The initial estimated Monthly Tax Deposit shall be $281,661.00. If at any time Lender reasonably determines that the Tax Reserve Funds will not be sufficient to pay the Taxes, Lender shall notify Borrower of such determination and the monthly deposits for Taxes shall be increased by the amount that Lender estimates is sufficient to make up the deficiency at least ten (10) days prior to the respective due dates for the Taxes; provided that if Borrower receives notice of any deficiency after the date that is ten (10) days prior to the date that Taxes are due, Borrower will deposit such amount within five (5) Business Days after its receipt of such notice. All Tax Reserve Funds shall be held by Lender or Servicer in an Eligible Account (the “Tax Reserve Account”).
(b)Provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender shall apply the Tax Reserve Funds to the timely payment of Taxes. In making any payment relating to Taxes, Lender may do so according to any bill, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office (with respect to Taxes) without inquiry into the accuracy of such bill, statement or estimate or into the validity of any tax, assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim thereof. If the amount of the Tax Reserve Funds shall exceed the amounts due for Taxes, Lender shall, in its sole discretion, either return any excess to Borrower or credit such excess against future Monthly Tax Deposits to be made to the Tax Reserve Funds and notify Borrower of such credit. Any Tax Reserve Funds remaining after the Debt has been paid in full shall be returned to Borrower.
Section 8.2Insurance Reserve Funds.
(a)Borrower shall deposit with Lender on each Monthly Payment Date an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12th) of the Insurance Premiums that Lender reasonably estimates will be payable for the renewal of the coverage afforded by the Policies upon the expiration thereof in order to accumulate sufficient funds to pay all such Insurance Premiums at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Policies (the “Monthly Insurance Deposit”). Amounts deposited
90




pursuant to this Section 8.2 are referred to herein as the “Insurance Reserve Funds”. If at any time Lender reasonably determines that the Insurance Reserve Funds will not be sufficient to pay the Insurance Premiums, Lender shall notify Borrower of such determination and the monthly deposits for Insurance Premiums shall be increased by the amount that Lender estimates is sufficient to make up the deficiency on or prior to the date that is the later of (i) thirty (30) days prior to expiration of the Policies and (ii) within five (5) Business Days after its receipt of such notice. All Insurance Reserve Funds shall be held by Lender or Servicer in an Eligible Account (the “Insurance Reserve Account”).
(b)Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall not be required to make the Monthly Insurance Deposit as set forth above, provided that (w) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (x) the Policies maintained by Borrower covering the Property are part of a blanket or umbrella policy approved by Lender in its reasonable discretion pursuant to (and complying with the requirements of) Section 7.1 hereof, (y) Borrower provides Lender evidence of renewal of such Policies pursuant to Section 7.1 hereof, and (z) Borrower provides ▇▇▇▇▇▇ paid receipts for the payment of the Insurance Premiums by no later than ten (10) Business Days prior to the expiration dates of the Policies. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall immediately commence making all Monthly Insurance Deposits, as required pursuant to this Section 8.2, within five (5) days after receipt of notice from Lender of Borrower’s failure to comply with items (w), (x), (y) or (z) above, which such notice shall instruct Borrower to immediately commence making all Monthly Insurance Deposits.
(c)Provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender shall apply the Insurance Reserve Funds to payment of Insurance Premiums. In making any payment relating to Insurance Premiums, Lender may do so according to any bill, statement or estimate procured from the insurer or its agent, without inquiry into the accuracy of such bill, statement or estimate. If the amount of the Insurance Reserve Funds shall exceed the amounts due for Insurance Premiums, Lender shall, in its sole discretion, return any excess to Borrower or credit such excess against future payments to be made to the Insurance Reserve Funds. Any Insurance Reserve Funds remaining after the Debt has been paid in full shall be returned to Borrower.
Section 8.3Immediate Repair Funds.
(a)Borrower shall perform the repairs at the Property as set forth on Schedule I hereto (such repairs hereinafter referred to as “Immediate Repairs”) and shall complete each of the Immediate Repairs on or before the date that is one hundred eighty (180) days from the date hereof, which deadline shall be extended as reasonably determined by Lender upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that an Acceptable Delay has occurred; provided that, Lender may, in its sole discretion, extend the respective deadlines for performance of such Immediate Repairs by written notice to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇. On the Closing Date, Borrower shall deposit with Lender the amount set forth on such Schedule I hereto to perform the Immediate Repairs. Amounts deposited pursuant to this Section 8.3 are referred to herein as the “Immediate Repair Funds”. All Immediate Repair Funds shall be held by Lender or Servicer in an Eligible Account (the “Immediate Repair Reserve Account”).
(b)Provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender shall disburse Immediate Repair Funds to Borrower within fifteen (15) Business Days after the delivery by Borrower to Lender of a Disbursement Request Form together with Lender’s then standard reserve disbursement schedule (but not more often than once per month), in increments of at least the Minimum Disbursement Amount (or a lesser amount if the total amount of
91




Immediate Repair Funds is less than the Minimum Disbursement Amount at the time of such request, in which case only one disbursement of the amount remaining shall be made). Additionally, with respect to any disbursement that is $500,000 or more, in connection with any invoice relating to such disbursement that is greater than $100,000, Borrower shall also provide the following items (which items shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender): (i) an Officer’s Certificate (A) stating that the Immediate Repairs (or relevant portion thereof) to be funded by the requested disbursement have been completed in a good and workmanlike manner and in accordance with all Applicable Law, (B) identifying each Person that supplied materials or labor in connection with the Immediate Repairs to be funded by the requested disbursement, (C) stating that each such Person has been paid in full or will be paid in full upon such disbursement, or if such payment is a progress payment, that such payment represents full payment to such Person, less any applicable retention amount, for work completed through the date of the relevant invoice from such Person, (D) stating that the Immediate Repairs (or relevant portion thereof) to be funded have not been the subject of a previous disbursement, and (E) stating that all previous disbursements for Immediate Repairs have been used to pay the previously identified Immediate Repairs, (ii) as to any completed Immediate Repair, a copy of any license, permit or other approval by any Governmental Authority required, if any, in connection with the Immediate Repairs and not previously delivered to Lender, (iii) copies of appropriate lien waivers (or conditional lien waivers) or other evidence of payment reasonably satisfactory to Lender, (iv) at Lender’s option, a title search for the Property indicating that the Property is free from all Liens, claims and other encumbrances other than Permitted Encumbrances, (v) at Lender’s option, if the cost of any individual Immediate Repairs exceeds $100,000, Lender shall have received a report reasonably satisfactory to Lender in its reasonable discretion from an architect or engineer reasonably approved by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ in respect of such architect or engineer’s inspection of such Immediate Repairs, and (vi) such other evidence as Lender shall reasonably request to demonstrate that the Immediate Repairs to be funded by the requested disbursement have been completed (or completed to the extent of the requested payment) and are paid for or will be paid upon such disbursement to Borrower. Upon ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s completion of all Immediate Repairs in accordance with this Section 8.3 and provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender shall release any remaining Immediate Repair Funds, if any, to Borrower.
Section 8.4Replacement Reserve Funds.
(a)Borrower shall deposit with Lender on each Monthly Payment Date an amount equal to $13,766.00 (the “Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposit”) for the Replacements; provided, however, that so long as (i) no Event of Default is continuing and (ii) the Property is being adequately maintained (as reasonably determined by Lender based on annual site inspections), Borrower shall only be required to make the Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposit on any Monthly Payment Date to the extent that the amount of Replacement Reserve Funds on deposit in the Replacement Reserve Account (less any pending disbursements therefrom) is less than $495,573.00. Amounts deposited pursuant to this Section 8.4 are referred to herein as the “Replacement Reserve Funds”. Lender may reassess its estimate of the amount necessary for Replacements from time to time (but not more than once per year) and may require Borrower to increase the monthly deposits required pursuant to this Section 8.4 upon thirty (30) days’ notice to Borrower if Lender determines in its reasonable discretion that an increase is necessary to maintain proper operation of the Property based on an updated engineering report; provided, however, that the amount of any such increase shall not exceed ten percent (10%) of the prior monthly deposit amount in any twelve (12) month period. All Replacement Reserve Funds shall be held by Lender or Servicer in an Eligible Account (the “Replacement Reserve Account”).
(b)Lender shall disburse Replacement Reserve Funds only for Replacements. Provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender shall disburse Replacement Reserve Funds to Borrower within fifteen (15) Business Days after the delivery by Borrower to
92




Lender of a Disbursement Request Form together with ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s then standard reserve disbursement schedule (but not more often than once per month), in increments of at least the Minimum Disbursement Amount (or a lesser amount if the total amount of the Replacement Reserve Funds is less than the Minimum Disbursement Amount, in which case only one disbursement of the amount remaining shall be made).

(c)Nothing in this Section 8.4 shall (i) make Lender responsible for making or completing the Replacements; (ii) require Lender to expend funds in addition to the Replacement Reserve Funds to complete any Replacements; (iii) obligate Lender to proceed with the Replacements; or (iv) obligate Lender to demand from Borrower additional sums to complete any Replacements.
(d)Borrower shall permit Lender and ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s agents and representatives (including, without limitation, ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s engineer, architect, or inspector) or third parties to enter onto the Property during normal business hours (subject to the rights of Tenants under their Leases and Manager (other than any Affiliated Manager) under the Management Agreement) and upon reasonable notice, to inspect the progress of any Replacements and all materials being used in connection therewith and to examine all plans and shop drawings relating to such Replacements. Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause all contractors and subcontractors to reasonably cooperate with Lender or ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s representatives or such other Persons described above in connection with inspections described in this Section.
(e)In addition to any insurance required under the Loan Documents, Borrower shall provide or cause to be provided workmen’s compensation insurance, builder’s risk, and public liability insurance and other insurance to the extent required under Applicable Law in connection
93




with the Replacements. All such policies shall be in form and amount reasonably satisfactory to Lender.
Section 8.5Leasing Reserve Funds.
(a)Borrower shall deposit with Lender (i) on the Closing Date, the amount of $9,000,000.00 and (ii) on each Monthly Payment Date, an amount equal to $73,222.00 (the “Leasing Reserve Monthly Deposit”) for tenant improvements and leasing commissions that may be incurred following the date hereof in connection with leasing of currently vacant space, any build out and subsequent lease of spec space (not to exceed an aggregate amount equal to the lesser of (x) $100.00 per square foot for spec space, and (y) $15.00 per square foot for spec space (multiplied by the number of years (including partial years) in the applicable Lease term) and any vacant space due to subsequent tenant turnover or lease renewals.

Section 8.6The Accounts Generally.
(a)All Reserve Funds shall be held in Eligible Accounts. Borrower grants to Lender a first-priority perfected security interest in each of the Reserve Funds, the Accounts, and all sums now or hereafter deposited in the Reserve Funds and the Accounts as additional security for payment of the Debt. Until expended or applied in accordance herewith, the Reserve Funds and the Accounts shall constitute additional security for the Debt. The provisions of this Section 8.6 are intended to give Lender and/or Servicer “control” of the Reserve Funds and the Accounts within the meaning of the UCC. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ acknowledges and agrees that the Reserve Funds and the Accounts are subject to the sole dominion, control and discretion of Lender, its authorized agents or designees, subject to the terms hereof, and Borrower shall have no right of withdrawal with respect to any Reserve Funds except with the prior written consent of Lender or as otherwise provided herein. The Reserve Funds shall not constitute trust funds and may be commingled with other monies held by ▇▇▇▇▇▇.
(b)Borrower shall not, without obtaining the prior written consent of Lender, further pledge, assign or grant any security interest in the Reserve Funds or the Accounts or permit any lien to attach thereto, or any levy to be made thereon, or any UCC-1 Financing Statements, except those naming Lender as the secured party, to be filed with respect thereto. Lender shall have the right to file a financing statement or statements under the UCC in connection with any of the Reserve Funds and/or the Accounts with respect thereto in the form required to properly perfect Lender’s security interest therein. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees that at any time and from time to time, at the expense of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, Borrower will promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action, that may be reasonably necessary or desirable, or that Lender may reasonably request, in order to perfect and protect any security interest granted or purported to be granted hereby or to enable Lender to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any Reserve Funds and/or the Accounts.
(c)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, without notice from Lender or Servicer (i) Borrower shall have no rights in respect of the Reserve Funds and (ii) Lender shall have all rights and remedies with respect to the Accounts and the amounts on deposit therein and the Reserve Funds as described in this Agreement, the Cash Management Agreement and in the Security Instrument, in addition to all of the rights and remedies available to a secured party under the UCC, and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Cash Management Agreement or in the Security Instrument, may apply the Reserve Funds as Lender determines in its sole discretion including, but not limited to, payment of the Debt.
(d)The insufficiency of Reserve Funds on deposit with Lender shall not absolve Borrower of the obligation to make any payments, as and when due pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and such obligations shall be separate and independent, and not conditioned on any event or circumstance whatsoever.
(e)Borrower shall indemnify Lender and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all actions, suits, claims, demands, liabilities, losses, damages, obligations and costs and expenses (including litigation costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) arising from or in any way connected with the Reserve Funds, the Accounts, the sums deposited therein or the performance of the obligations for which the Reserve Funds were established, except to the extent arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lender, its agents or employees. Borrower shall assign to Lender all rights and claims Borrower may have against all Persons supplying labor, materials or other services which are to be paid from or secured by the Reserve Funds and the Accounts; provided, however, that Lender may not pursue any such right or claim unless an Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured.
95




(f)Interest accrued, if any, on the Reserve Funds, other than on the Interest Bearing Reserve Funds, shall not be required to be remitted to any Account and may instead be retained by Lender. Reserve Funds that are Interest Bearing Reserve Funds shall be held in an interest-bearing account. In no event shall Lender or any Servicer be required to select any particular interest-bearing account or the account that yields the highest rate of interest, provided that selection of the account shall be consistent with the general standards at the time being utilized by Lender or such Servicer, as applicable, in establishing similar accounts for loans of comparable type. All such interest that so becomes part of the applicable Interest Bearing Reserve Funds shall be disbursed in accordance with the disbursement procedures contained herein applicable to such Interest Bearing Reserve Funds.
(g)Borrower acknowledges and agrees that it solely shall be, and shall at all times remain, liable to Lender or Servicer for all fees, charges, costs and expenses in connection with the Reserve Funds, the Accounts, this Agreement and the enforcement hereof, including, without limitation, any monthly or annual fees or charges as may be assessed by Lender or Servicer in connection with the administration of the Accounts and the Reserve Funds and the reasonable fees and expenses of third party legal counsel to Lender and Servicer as needed to enforce, protect or preserve the rights and remedies of Lender and/or Servicer under this Agreement.
Section 8.7Rent Concession Reserve Funds. Borrower shall deposit with Lender on the date hereof $1,990,340.00 representing the amount of future rent credits or abatements under existing Leases (the “Rent Concession Reserve Funds”). So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender shall disburse amounts from the Rent Concession Reserve Funds as set forth on Schedule VI attached hereto.
Section 8.8Existing TI/LC Obligations Reserve Funds. Borrower shall deposit with Lender on the date hereof $8,396,806.00, representing the tenant improvements and leasing commissions which are payable by the applicable Borrower under existing Leases at the applicable Individual Property as set forth on Schedule VII attached hereto (the “Existing TI/LC Obligations”). Amounts deposited pursuant to this Section 8.8 are referred to herein as the “Existing TI/LC Reserve Funds”. The Existing TI/LC Reserve Funds shall be disbursed in accordance with Section 8.5(b) hereof solely in connection with the Tenants set forth on Schedule VII; provided that upon payment, performance or expiration of an Existing TI/LC Obligation (including, for avoidance of doubt, the completion of tenant improvements required to be completed by Borrower and acceptance thereof by the applicable Tenant (if requested by ▇▇▇▇▇▇, as confirmed by an executed Tenant estoppel reasonably acceptable to Lender) or the expiration of the time period for the applicable Tenant to request all or a portion of its tenant improvement allowance as reasonably determined by Lender), as applicable, the remainder of the portion of Existing TI/LC Reserve Funds held for such line item (as shown adjacent to such line item on Schedule VII attached hereto) shall promptly be remitted to Borrower, provided no Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing.
Section 8.9Letters of Credit
(a)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Borrower may, at Borrower’s option, provide a Letter of Credit in lieu of any of the cash deposits required to be made pursuant to Section 8.7 above, provided that such Letter of Credit is in the amount of the cash deposit required thereunder and otherwise meets all applicable requirements related thereto set forth herein. Other than in connection with any Letters of Credit delivered in connection with the closing of the Loan, Borrower shall give Lender no less than ten (10) days written notice of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s election to deliver a Letter of Credit in lieu of any cash deposit required under Section 8.7 above and Borrower shall pay to Lender all of Lender’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses in connection therewith. No party other than Lender shall be entitled to draw on any such Letter of Credit. Upon ten (10) days prior written notice to ▇▇▇▇▇▇, Borrower may
96




replace a Letter of Credit with a cash deposit to the applicable Reserve Fund. Prior to the return of a Letter of Credit, Borrower shall deposit an amount equal to the amount of the cash deposit required with respect to the applicable Reserve Fund and not been disbursed in accordance with this Agreement if such Letter of Credit had not been delivered. In the event that any disbursement of any Reserve Funds relates to a portion thereof provided through a Letter of Credit, any “disbursement” of said funds as provided above shall be deemed to refer to (i) Borrower providing Lender a replacement Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the original Letter of Credit posted less the amount of the applicable disbursement provided hereunder and (ii) Lender, after receiving such replacement Letter of Credit, returning such original Letter of Credit to Borrower; provided, that, no replacement Letter of Credit shall be required with respect to the final disbursement of the applicable Reserve Funds such that no further sums are required to be deposited in the applicable Reserve Funds. Borrower shall pay all cost, expenses and fees relating to any assignment of the Letter of Credit to ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and/or from Lender to its successors and assigns.
(b)Each Letter of Credit delivered hereunder shall be additional security for the payment of the Debt. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right, at its option, to draw on any Letter of Credit and to apply all or any part thereof to the payment of the items for which such Letter of Credit was established or to apply each such Letter of Credit to payment of the Debt in such order, proportion or priority as Lender may determine. Any such application to the Debt shall be subject to the terms and conditions hereof relating to application of sums to the Debt. Lender shall have the additional rights to draw in full any Letter of Credit: (i) if ▇▇▇▇▇▇ has received a notice from the issuing bank that the Letter of Credit will not be renewed and a substitute Letter of Credit is not provided at least forty five (45) days prior to the date on which the outstanding Letter of Credit is scheduled to expire; (ii) if Lender has not received a notice from the issuing bank that it has renewed the Letter of Credit at least forty five (45) days prior to the date on which such Letter of Credit is scheduled to expire and a substitute Letter of Credit is not provided at least forty five (45) days prior to the date on which the outstanding Letter of Credit is scheduled to expire; (iii) upon receipt of notice from the issuing bank that the Letter of Credit will be terminated (except if the termination of such Letter of Credit is permitted pursuant to the terms and conditions hereof or a substitute Letter of Credit is provided by no later than forty five (45) days prior to such termination); (iv) if ▇▇▇▇▇▇ has received notice from any reliable source whatsoever that the bank issuing the Letter of Credit shall cease to be an Approved Bank and Borrower has not substituted a Letter of Credit from an Approved Bank within fifteen (15) days after notice thereof; and/or (v) if the bank issuing the Letter of Credit shall fail to (A) issue a replacement Letter of Credit in the event the original Letter of Credit has been lost, mutilated, stolen and/or destroyed or (B) consent to the transfer of the Letter of Credit to any Person designated by ▇▇▇▇▇▇. If ▇▇▇▇▇▇ draws upon a Letter of Credit pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, provided no Event of Default exists, Lender shall apply all or any part thereof solely for the purposes for which such Letter of Credit was established. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the above, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ is not obligated to draw any Letter of Credit upon the happening of an event specified in (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) or (v) above and shall not be liable for any losses sustained by Borrower due to the insolvency of the bank issuing the Letter of Credit if ▇▇▇▇▇▇ has not drawn the Letter of Credit.

Section 10.2Remedies.
(a)Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in Section 10.1(g) above with respect to Borrower and SPE Component Entity only) Lender may, in addition to any other rights or remedies available to it pursuant to this Agreement, the Security Instrument, the Note and the other Loan Documents or at law or in equity, take such action, without notice or demand, that Lender deems advisable to protect and enforce its rights against Borrower and in the Property, including, without limitation, declaring the Debt to be immediately due and payable, and Lender may enforce or avail itself of any or all rights or remedies provided in this Agreement, the Security Instrument, the Note and the other Loan Documents against Borrower and the Property, including, without limitation, all rights or remedies available at law or in equity. Upon any Event of Default described in Section 10.1(g) above (with respect to Borrower and SPE Component Entity only), the Debt and all other obligations of Borrower under this Agreement, the Security Instrument, the Note and the other Loan Documents shall immediately and automatically become due and payable, without notice or demand, and Borrower hereby expressly waives any such notice or demand, anything contained herein or in the Security Instrument, the Note and the other Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding.
(b)Upon the occurrence and 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 this Agreement, the Security Instrument, the Note or the other Loan Documents executed and delivered by, or applicable to, Borrower or at law or in equity may be exercised by Lender at any time and from time to time, whether or not all or any of the Debt shall be declared due and payable, and whether or not Lender shall have commenced any foreclosure proceeding or other action for the enforcement of its rights and remedies under this Agreement, the Security Instrument, the Note or the other Loan Documents with respect to the Property. Any such actions taken by Lender shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singularly, successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in its sole discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender permitted by Applicable Law, equity or contract or as set forth herein or in the Security Instrument, the Note or the other Loan Documents. No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of Default shall impair any such remedy, right or power or shall be construed as a waiver thereof, but any such remedy, right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. A waiver of one Default or Event of Default with respect to Borrower shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default by Borrower or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon.
(c)Upon the occurrence and 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 Lender in its sole discretion including, without limitation, the following circumstances: (i) in the event Borrower defaults beyond any applicable grace period in the
101




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 balance of the Loan, Lender may foreclose the Security Instrument to recover so much of the principal balance of the Loan 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 sums secured by the Security Instrument and not previously recovered.
(d)Upon the occurrence and 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, security instruments and other security documents (the “Severed Loan Documents”) in such denominations as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion for purposes of evidencing and enforcing its rights and remedies provided hereunder. Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender from time to time, promptly after the request of ▇▇▇▇▇▇, a severance agreement and such other documents as ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall request in order to effect the severance described in the preceding sentence, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender. Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints Lender as its true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in its name and stead to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect the aforesaid severance, Borrower ratifying all that its said attorney shall do by virtue thereof; provided, however, Lender shall not make or execute any such documents under such power until three (3) days after notice has been given to Borrower by Lender of ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s intent to exercise its rights under such power. Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any costs or expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, execution, recording or filing of the Severed Loan Documents and the Severed Loan Documents shall not (i) contain any representations, warranties or covenants not contained in the Loan Documents and any such representations and warranties contained in the Severed Loan Documents will be given by Borrower only as of the Closing Date, and (ii) materially increase Borrower’s obligations or materially decrease its rights contained in the Loan Documents.
(e)Any amounts recovered from the Property or any other collateral for the Loan during the continuance of an Event of Default may be applied by Lender toward the payment of any interest and/or principal of the Loan and/or any other amounts due under the Loan Documents in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall determine.
(f)Lender may, but without any obligation to do so and without notice to or demand on Borrower and without releasing Borrower from any obligation hereunder or being deemed to have cured any Event of Default hereunder, make, do or perform any obligation of Borrower hereunder in such manner and to such extent as Lender may deem necessary. Lender is authorized to enter upon the Property for such purposes, or appear in, defend, or bring any action or proceeding to protect its interest in the Property for such purposes, and the cost and expense thereof (including reasonable attorneys’ fees to the extent permitted by Applicable Law), with interest as provided in this Section, shall constitute a portion of the Debt and shall be due and payable to Lender upon demand. All such costs and expenses incurred by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ in remedying such Event of Default or such failed payment or act or in appearing in, defending, or bringing any action or proceeding shall bear interest at the Default Rate, for the period after such cost or expense was incurred through and including the date of payment to Lender. All such costs and expenses incurred by Lender together with interest thereon calculated at the Default Rate shall be deemed to constitute a portion of the Debt and be secured by the liens, claims and security interests provided to Lender under the Loan Documents and shall be immediately due and payable upon demand by Lender therefor.

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.

(vii)the material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or indemnification provision in the Environmental Indemnity concerning Environmental Laws and Hazardous Substances;
(viii)any fees or commissions paid by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ after the occurrence of an Event of Default (of which Borrower has been notified by Lender) to Guarantor, Sponsor
114




and/or any Affiliate of Borrower, Guarantor and/or Sponsor in violation of the terms of the Note, this Agreement, the Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents;
(ix)▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s breach (following notice and the expiration of any cure periods) of, or failure to comply with, the provisions of Section 12.3 hereof;

(xi)any representation, warranty or covenant contained in Article 6 hereof (not including any covenant to give notice or to pay any costs or fees) is violated or breached (other than a Major Transfer Violation), provided, however that Borrower shall not be liable under this subsection (xi) for any involuntary Lien or for the failure of Borrower to pay any permitted Indebtedness to the extent that there are insufficient funds generated from the Property and/or sufficient funds from the Property are not otherwise made available to Borrower to pay such permitted Indebtedness (it is acknowledged and agreed that any circumstance or condition that arises as a result of insufficient cash flow from the Property and/or Lender not making cash flow from the Property available to Borrower shall not be construed to arise from a “voluntary” act or omission of the Borrower).
(b)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Note or any of the Loan Documents, (A) Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any right which Lender may have under Section 506(a), 506(b), 1111(b) or any other provisions of the Bankruptcy Code to file a claim for the full amount of the Debt or to require that all collateral shall continue to secure all of the Debt owing to Lender in accordance with the Loan Documents, and (B) the Debt shall be fully recourse to Borrower in the event that: (i) any representation, warranty or covenant contained in Article 5 hereof is violated or breached and any such breach or violation with respect to Article 5 results in the substantive consolidation of the assets of Borrower with any other Person in a bankruptcy or similar proceeding; (ii) a Major Transfer Violation; (iii) any Borrower files a voluntary petition under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Creditors Rights Laws; (iv) an Affiliate, officer, director, or representative which (with respect to each of the foregoing) Controls, directly or indirectly, any Borrower files, or joins in the filing of, an involuntary petition against any Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Creditors Rights Laws, or solicits or causes to be solicited petitioning creditors for any involuntary petition against any Borrower from any Person; (v) any Borrower files an answer consenting to or joining in any involuntary petition filed against it (other than a petition filed against it by ▇▇▇▇▇▇), by any other Person under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Creditors Rights Laws, or solicits or causes to be solicited petitioning creditors for any involuntary petition from any Person or colludes with other creditors to cause an involuntary bankruptcy filing with respect to any Borrower; (vi) any Affiliate, officer, director, or representative which (with respect to each of the foregoing) Controls Borrower consents to or joins in an application for the appointment of a custodian, receiver, trustee, or examiner for Borrower or any portion of the Property or colludes with other creditors to cause an application for the appointment of a custodian, receiver, trustee, or examiner for Borrower or any portion of the Property; (vii) any Borrower makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or admits in any legal proceeding, its insolvency or inability to pay its debts as they become due (unless to do otherwise would require a false statement or violate Rule 9011 of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure or other applicable rules requiring sufficient legal and factual basis for filing papers in a proceeding under Federal or state insolvency laws); (viii) intentionally omitted; or (ix) any Borrower (or any Affiliate of Borrower) contests or opposes any motion made by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ to obtain relief from the automatic stay or seeks to reinstate the automatic stay in the event of any federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding involving Borrower (provided, however, that Borrower shall not have any

Borrower will pay all taxes, filing, registration or recording fees, and all expenses incident to the preparation, execution, acknowledgment and/or recording of the Note, the Security Instrument, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, any note, deed of trust or mortgage supplemental hereto, any security instrument with respect to the Property and any instrument of further assurance, and any modification or amendment of the foregoing documents, and all federal, state, county and municipal taxes, duties, imposts, assessments and charges arising out of or in connection with the execution and delivery of the Security Instrument, any deed of trust or mortgage supplemental hereto, any security instrument with respect to the Property or any instrument of further assurance, and any modification or amendment of the foregoing documents, except where prohibited by Applicable Law so to do.
Section 15.3Further Acts, etc.
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ will, at the cost of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, and without expense to ▇▇▇▇▇▇, do, execute, acknowledge and deliver all and every further acts, deeds, conveyances, deeds of trust, mortgages, assignments, notices of assignments, transfers and assurances as Lender shall, from time to time, reasonably require, for the better assuring, conveying, assigning, transferring, and confirming unto Lender the property and rights hereby mortgaged, deeded, granted, bargained, sold, conveyed, confirmed, pledged, assigned, warranted and transferred or intended now or hereafter so to be, or which Borrower may be or may hereafter become bound to convey or assign to Lender, or for carrying out the intention or facilitating the performance of the terms of this Agreement or for filing, registering or recording the Security Instrument, or for complying with all Applicable Law. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, on demand, will execute and deliver, and in the event it shall fail to so execute and deliver, hereby authorizes ▇▇▇▇▇▇ to execute in the name of Borrower or without the signature of Borrower to the extent Lender may lawfully do so, one or more financing statements to evidence more effectively the security interest of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ in the Property.

Article 16.

WAIVERS
Section 16.1Remedies Cumulative; Waivers.
The rights, powers and remedies of Lender under this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which Lender may have against Borrower pursuant to this Agreement, the Security Instrument, the Note or the other Loan Documents, or existing at law or in equity or otherwise. ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s rights, powers and remedies may be pursued singularly, concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s sole discretion. No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of Default shall impair any such remedy, right or power or shall be construed as a waiver thereof, but any such remedy, right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. A waiver of one Default or Event of Default with respect to Borrower shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default by Borrower or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon.
Section 16.2Modification, Waiver in Writing.
No modification, amendment, extension, discharge, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, the Security Instrument, the Note and the other Loan Documents, 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 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.
Section 16.3Delay Not a Waiver.
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 under this Agreement, the Security Instrument, the Note or the other Loan Documents, or any other instrument given as security therefor, shall operate as or constitute a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other future exercise, or
119




the exercise of any other right, power, remedy or privilege. In particular, and not by way of limitation, by accepting payment after the due date of any amount payable under this Agreement, the Security Instrument, the Note or the other Loan Documents, Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any right either to require prompt payment when due of all other amounts due under this Agreement, the Security Instrument, the Note and the other Loan Documents, or to declare a default for failure to effect prompt payment of any such other amount.
Section 16.4Waiver of Trial by Jury.
TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, BORROWER AND LENDER, BY ACCEPTANCE OF THIS AGREEMENT, HEREBY WAIVE, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, RELATING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY TO THE LOAN, THE APPLICATION FOR THE LOAN, THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTE, THE SECURITY INSTRUMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY ACTS OR OMISSIONS OF LENDER OR BORROWER.

Section 16.6Remedies of Borrower.
In the event that a claim or adjudication is made that Lender or its agents have acted unreasonably or unreasonably delayed acting in any case where by Applicable Law or under this Agreement, the Security Instrument, the Note and the other Loan Documents, Lender or such agent, as the case may be, has an obligation to act reasonably or promptly, Borrower agrees that neither Lender nor its agents shall be liable for any monetary damages, and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s sole remedies shall be limited to commencing an action seeking injunctive relief or declaratory judgment. The parties hereto agree that any action or proceeding to determine whether ▇▇▇▇▇▇ has acted reasonably shall be determined by an action seeking declaratory judgment. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees that, in such event, it shall cooperate in expediting any action seeking injunctive relief or declaratory judgment.
Section 16.7Marshalling and Other Matters.
Borrower hereby waives, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the benefit of all appraisement, valuation, stay, extension, reinstatement and redemption laws now or hereafter in force and all rights of marshalling in the event of any sale under the Security Instrument of the Property or any part thereof or any interest therein. Further, Borrower hereby expressly waives any and all rights of redemption from sale under any order or decree of foreclosure of the
120




Security Instrument on behalf of Borrower, and on behalf of each and every person acquiring any interest in or title to the Property subsequent to the date of the Security Instrument and on behalf of all persons to the extent permitted by Applicable Law.
Section 16.8Waiver of Statute of Limitations.
To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, Borrower hereby expressly waives and releases to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, the pleading of any statute of limitations as a defense to payment of the Debt or performance of its obligations hereunder, under the Note, Security Instrument or other Loan Documents.
Section 16.9Waiver of Counterclaim.
Borrower hereby waives the right to assert a counterclaim, other than a compulsory counterclaim, in any action or proceeding brought against it by Lender or its agents.
Section 16.10Sole Discretion of Lender.
Wherever pursuant to this Agreement (a) Lender exercises any right given to it to approve or disapprove, (b) any arrangement or term is to be satisfactory to Lender, or (c) any other decision or determination is to be made by ▇▇▇▇▇▇, the decision to approve or disapprove all decisions that arrangements or terms are satisfactory or not satisfactory, and all other decisions and determinations made by ▇▇▇▇▇▇, shall be in the sole discretion of Lender, except as may be otherwise expressly and specifically provided herein. Prior to a Securitization, whenever pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document the Rating Agencies are given any right to approve or disapprove any matter, or any arrangement or term is to be satisfactory to the Rating Agencies, to the extent not already required, the decision of Lender to approve or disapprove such matter or to decide whether arrangements or terms are satisfactory or not satisfactory, shall be substituted therefor.
Article 17.

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 17.9Offsets, Counterclaims and Defenses.
Any assignee of Lender’s interest in and to this Agreement, the Security Instrument, the Note and the other Loan Documents shall take the same free and clear of all offsets, counterclaims or defenses which are unrelated to such documents which Borrower may otherwise have against any assignor of such documents, and no such unrelated 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 unrelated offset, counterclaim or defense in any such action or proceeding is hereby expressly waived by Borrower.

(a)▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ intend that the relationships created under this Agreement, the Security Instrument, the Note and the other Loan Documents be solely that of borrower and lender.

(b)This Agreement, the Security Instrument, the Note and the other Loan Documents are solely for the benefit of Lender and Borrower and nothing contained in this Agreement, the Security Instrument, the Note or the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to confer upon anyone other than Lender and Borrower any right to insist upon or to enforce the performance or observance of any of the obligations contained herein or therein. All conditions to the obligations of Lender to make the Loan hereunder are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of Lender and no other Person shall have standing to require satisfaction of such conditions in accordance with their terms or be entitled to assume that ▇▇▇▇▇▇ will refuse to make the Loan in the absence of strict compliance with any or all thereof and no other Person shall under any circumstances be deemed to be a beneficiary of such conditions, any or all of which may be freely waived in whole or in part by Lender if, in ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s sole discretion, Lender deems it advisable or desirable to do so.
(c)The general partners, members, principals and (if Borrower is a trust) beneficial owners of Borrower are experienced in the ownership and operation of properties similar to the Property, and Borrower and Lender are relying solely upon such expertise and business plan in connection with the ownership and operation of the Property. Borrower is not relying on Lender’s expertise, business acumen or advice in connection with the Property.
126




(d)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Lender is not undertaking the performance of (i) any obligations under the Leases; or (ii) any obligations with respect to such agreements, contracts, certificates, instruments, franchises, permits, trademarks, licenses and other documents.
(e)By accepting or approving anything required to be observed, performed or fulfilled or to be given to Lender pursuant to this Agreement, the Security Instrument, the Note or the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, any officer’s certificate, balance sheet, statement of profit and loss or other financial statement, survey, appraisal, or insurance policy, Lender shall not be deemed to have warranted, consented to, or affirmed the sufficiency, the legality or effectiveness of same, and such acceptance or approval thereof shall not constitute any warranty or affirmation with respect thereto by ▇▇▇▇▇▇.
(f)Borrower recognizes and acknowledges that in accepting this Agreement, the Note, the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents, Lender is expressly and primarily relying on the truth and accuracy of the representations and warranties set forth in Article 3 of this Agreement without any obligation to investigate the Property and notwithstanding any investigation of the Property by Lender; that such reliance existed on the part of Lender prior to the date hereof, that the warranties and representations are a material inducement to Lender in making the Loan; and that ▇▇▇▇▇▇ would not be willing to make the Loan and accept this Agreement, the Note, the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents in the absence of the warranties and representations as set forth in Article 3 of this Agreement.
Section 17.11Publicity; Advertising.
(a)All news releases, publicity or advertising by Borrower or its Affiliates through any media intended to reach the general public which refers to this Agreement, the Note, the Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents or the financing evidenced by this Agreement, the Note, the Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents, to Lender or any of its Affiliates shall be subject to the prior written approval of Lender, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
(b)Borrower hereby agrees that Lender and its affiliated entities, including, without limitation, ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo & Company and its subsidiaries, may publicly identify details of the Loan in their respective advertising and public communications of all kinds, including, but not limited to, press releases, direct mail, newspapers, magazines, journals, e-mail or internet advertising or communications. Such details may include the name of the Property, the address of the Property, the amount of the Loan, the Closing Date, and a description of the size and location of the Property; provided that, in no event, shall the name of the Manager, any CIM Entity, Guarantor or Sponsor or any person owning a direct or indirect interest in Borrower be identified or otherwise disclosed by Lender in such public communications without the prior written consent of Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).
Section 17.12Conflict; Construction of Documents; Reliance.
In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the Security Instrument, the Note or any of the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Agreement shall control. Wherever the phrase “during the continuance of an Event of Default” or the like appears herein or in any other Loan Document, such phrase shall not mean or imply that Lender has any obligation to accept a cure of such Event of Default. The parties hereto acknowledge that they were represented by competent counsel in connection with the negotiation, drafting and
127




execution of this Agreement, the Note, the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents and this Agreement, the Note, the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents shall not be subject to the principle of construing their meaning against the party which drafted same. 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 this Agreement, the Note, the Security Instrument and the other 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.
Section 17.13Entire Agreement.
This Agreement, the Note, the Security Instrument 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 among or between such parties, whether oral or written between Borrower and Lender are superseded by the terms of this Agreement, the Note, the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents.
Section 17.14Liability.
If Borrower consists of more than one Person, the obligations and liabilities of each such Person hereunder shall be joint and several. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and their respective successors and assigns forever.
Section 17.15Duplicate Originals; Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed in any number of duplicate originals and each duplicate original shall be deemed to be an original. The failure of any party hereto to execute this Agreement, or any counterpart hereof, shall not relieve the other signatories from their obligations hereunder.
Section 17.16Cross-Default; Cross-Collateralization
(a)Borrower acknowledges that ▇▇▇▇▇▇ has made the Loan to Borrower upon the security of its collective interest in the Properties and in reliance upon the aggregate of the Properties taken together being of greater value as collateral security than the sum of each Individual Property taken separately. Borrower agrees that each of the Loan Documents are and will be cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with each other so that (i) an Event of Default under any of the Loan Documents shall constitute an Event of Default under each of the other Loan Documents; (ii) an Event of Default hereunder shall constitute an Event of Default under the Security Instrument; (iii) the Security Instrument shall constitute security for the Note as if a
128




single blanket lien were placed on all of the Properties as security for the Note; and (iv) such cross-collateralization shall in no event be deemed to constitute a fraudulent conveyance and Borrower waives any claims related thereto.
(b)To the fullest extent permitted by law, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives all rights to a marshalling of the assets of Borrower, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s partners and others with interests in Borrower, and of the Properties, or to a sale in inverse order of alienation in the event of foreclosure of all or any of the Security Instruments, and agrees not to 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 Properties 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 Properties in preference to every other claimant whatsoever. In addition, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives in the event of foreclosure of any or all of the Security Instruments, any equitable right otherwise available to Borrower which would require the separate sale of the Properties or require Lender to exhaust its remedies against any Individual Property or any combination of the Properties before proceeding against any other Individual Property or combination of Properties; and further in the event of such foreclosure Borrower does hereby expressly consent to and authorize, at the option of Lender, the foreclosure and sale either separately or together of any combination of the Properties.
Section 17.17Contribution
(a)As a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, each Borrower will benefit, directly and indirectly, from each Borrower’s obligation to pay the Debt and perform its obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (collectively, the “Obligations”) and in consideration therefore each Borrower desires to enter into an allocation and contribution agreement among themselves as set forth in this Section to allocate such benefits among themselves and to provide a fair and equitable agreement to make contributions among each of Borrowers in the event any payment is made by any individual Borrower hereunder to Lender (such payment being referred to herein as a “Contribution,” and for purposes of this Section, includes any exercise of recourse by Lender against any Property of a Borrower and application of proceeds of such Property in satisfaction of such Borrower’s obligations, to Lender under the Loan Documents).
(b)Each Borrower shall be liable hereunder with respect to the Obligations only for such total maximum amount (if any) that would not render its Obligations hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents subject to avoidance under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provisions of any state law.
(c)In order to provide for a fair and equitable contribution among Borrowers in the event that any Contribution is made by an individual Borrower (a “Funding Borrower”), such Funding Borrower shall be entitled to a reimbursement Contribution (“Reimbursement Contribution”) from all other Borrowers for all payments, damages and expenses incurred by
129




that Funding Borrower in discharging any of the Obligations, in the manner and to the extent set forth in this Section.
(d)For purposes hereof, the “Benefit Amount” of any individual Borrower as of any date of determination shall be the net value of the benefits to such Borrower and its affiliates from extensions of credit made by Lender to (i) such Borrower and (ii) to the other Borrowers hereunder and the Loan Documents to the extent such other Borrowers have guaranteed or mortgaged their property to secure the Obligations of such Borrower to Lender.
(e)Each Borrower shall be liable to a Funding Borrower in an amount equal to the greater of (i) the (A) ratio of the Benefit Amount of such Borrower to the total amount of Obligations, multiplied by (B) the amount of Obligations paid by such Funding Borrower, or (ii) ninety-five percent (95%) of the excess of the fair saleable value of the property of such Borrower over the total liabilities of such Borrower (including the maximum amount reasonably expected to become due in respect of contingent liabilities) determined as of the date on which the payment made by a Funding Borrower is deemed made for purposes hereof (giving effect to all payments made by other Funding Borrowers as of such date in a manner to maximize the amount of such Contributions).
(f)In the event that at any time there exists more than one Funding Borrower with respect to any Contribution (in any such case, the “Applicable Contribution”), then Reimbursement Contributions from other Borrowers pursuant hereto shall be allocated among such Funding Borrowers in proportion to the total amount of the Contribution made for or on account of the other Borrowers by each such Funding Borrower pursuant to the Applicable Contribution. In the event that at any time any Borrower pays an amount hereunder in excess of the amount calculated pursuant to this Section above, that Borrower shall be deemed to be a Funding Borrower to the extent of such excess and shall be entitled to a Reimbursement Contribution from the other Borrowers in accordance with the provisions of this Section.
(g)Each Borrower acknowledges that the right to Reimbursement Contribution hereunder shall constitute an asset in favor of Borrower to which such Reimbursement Contribution is owing.
(h)No Reimbursement Contribution payments payable by a Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Section shall be paid until all amounts then due and payable by all of Borrowers to Lender, pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents, are paid in full in cash. Nothing contained in this Section shall limit or affect in any way the Obligations of any Borrower to Lender under the Loan Documents.
(i)To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Borrower waives:
(i)any right to require Lender to proceed against any other Borrower or any other person or to proceed against or exhaust any security held by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ at any time or to pursue any other remedy in ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s power before proceeding against ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇;
130




(ii)any defense based upon any legal disability or other defense of any other Borrower, any guarantor of any other person or by reason of the cessation or limitation of the liability of any other Borrower or any guarantor from any cause other than full payment of all sums payable under the Loan Documents;
(iii)any defense based upon any lack of authority of the officers, directors, partners or agents acting or purporting to act on behalf of any other Borrower or any principal of any other Borrower or any defect in the formation of any other Borrower or any principal of any other Borrower;
(iv)any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in any other respects more burdensome than that of a principal;
(v)any defense based upon any failure by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ to obtain collateral for the indebtedness or failure by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ to perfect a lien on any collateral;
(vi)presentment, demand, protest and notice of any kind;
(vii)any defense based upon any failure of Lender to give notice of sale or other disposition of any collateral to any other Borrower or to any other person or entity or any defect in any notice that may be given in connection with any sale or disposition of any collateral;
(viii)any defense based upon any failure of Lender to comply with applicable laws in connection with the sale or other disposition of any collateral, including any failure of Lender to conduct a commercially reasonable sale or other disposition of any collateral;
(ix)any defense based upon any use of cash collateral under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code;
(x)any defense based upon any agreement or stipulation entered into by Lender with respect to the provision of adequate protection in any bankruptcy proceeding;
(xi)any defense based upon any borrowing or any grant of a security interest under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code;
(xii)any defense based upon the avoidance of any security interest in favor of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ for any reason;
(xiii)any defense based upon any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment of debt, liquidation or dissolution proceeding, including any discharge of, or bar or stay against collecting, all or any of the obligations evidenced by the Note or owing under any of the Loan Documents;
131




(xiv)any defense or benefit based upon ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s, or any other party’s, resignation of the portion of any obligation secured by the Security Instrument to be satisfied by any payment from any other Borrower or any such party;
(xv)all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ even though the election of remedies, such as non-judicial foreclosure with respect to security for the Loan or any other amounts owing under the Loan Documents, has destroyed ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s rights of subrogation and reimbursement against any other Borrower; and
(xvi)all rights and defenses that Borrower may have because any of Debt is secured by real property. This means, among other things (subject to the other terms and conditions of the Loan Documents): (1) Lender may collect from Borrower without first foreclosing on any real or personal property collateral pledged by any other Borrower, and (2) if Lender forecloses on any real property collateral pledged by any other Borrower, (I) the amount of the Debt may be reduced only by the price for which that collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the collateral is worth more than the sale price and (II) Lender may collect from Borrower even if any other Borrower, by foreclosing on the real property collateral, has destroyed any right Borrower may have to collect from any other Borrower. This is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses Borrower may have because any of the Debt is secured by real property; and except as may be expressly and specifically permitted herein, any claim or other right which Borrower might now have or hereafter acquire against any other Borrower or any other person that arises from the existence or performance of any obligations under the Loan Documents, including any of the following: (1) any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, or indemnification; or (2) any right to participate in any claim or remedy of Lender against any other Borrower or any collateral security therefor, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law.
(j)Each Borrower hereby restates and makes the waivers made by Guarantor in the Guaranty for the benefit of Lender. Such waivers are hereby incorporated by reference as if fully set forth herein (and as if applicable to each Borrower) and shall be effective for all purposes under the Loan (including, without limitation, in the event that any Borrower is deemed to be a surety or guarantor of the Debt (by virtue of each Borrower being co-obligors and jointly and severally liable hereunder, by virtue of each Borrower encumbering its interest in the Property for the benefit or debts of the other Borrowers in connection herewith or otherwise)).
Section 17.18Co-Lenders; Noteholders’ Ratable Shares
(a)Each Noteholder shall have a ratably concurrent and co-equal legal and beneficial interest in the Loan, each Loan Document, and all rights, remedies, payments, collateral and proceeds thereof, equal to its Ratable Share, without any preference or priority over the Ratable Share of the other Noteholder in the Loan, the Loan Documents and the rights, remedies, payments, collateral and the proceeds thereof.
132




(b)The liabilities of each Noteholder shall be several and not joint. No Noteholder shall be responsible for the obligations of the other. Each Noteholder shall be liable to Borrower only for its Ratable Share of the Loan. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, all indemnities by Borrower and/or Guarantor and obligations for costs, expenses, damages or advances set forth herein shall run to and benefit each Noteholder in accordance with their Ratable Shares.
(c)The holders from time to time of any Note and/or any other interest of “Lender” under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall, from time to time, enter into one or more co-lender agreements, intercreditor agreements or other agreements with each other and/or with the holder(s) of any other loans or other Persons in their discretion. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ acknowledges and agrees that such agreements, as the same may, from time to time, be amended, modified or restated, may govern the exercise of the powers and discretionary authority of the Lender and/or any other interest of the Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents but shall in no event affect Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Documents. Borrower hereby further acknowledges and agrees that any such agreement is solely for the benefit of the Noteholders and that neither Borrower nor any Affiliate thereof shall be third-party beneficiaries (intended or otherwise) of any of the provisions therein, have any rights thereunder, or be entitled to rely on any of the provisions contained therein. No Noteholder shall have any obligation to disclose to Borrower or any Affiliate thereof the contents of any such agreement. Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Documents are and will be independent of such agreement and shall remain unmodified by the terms and provisions thereof.
(d)In connection with all requests for approval and consents hereunder and in every instance in which ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s consent or approval is required occurring prior to any Securitization, Borrower may submit such request and all accompanying documentation solely to the Noteholder of Note A-1 or its Servicer, and the Noteholder of Note A-1 or its Servicer shall have the sole authority to issue written consent to such request on behalf of Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Noteholder of Note A-1 or its Servicer may be required to obtain the consent of the Noteholders of Note A-2 and Note A-3 or their respective Servicers prior to granting or withholding the applicable consent or approval.
(e)The provisions of this Section 17.18 shall apply to all other Loan Documents as if fully set forth therein.

“Expense Reimbursements” shall mean expense reimbursements as determined from the most recent operating statement, determined on a trailing 12-month basis (which should include actual expense reimbursements for occupied space and market expense reimbursements for vacant space and newly-leased space), and adjusted upwards or downwards consistent with any upwards or downwards adjustment in Underwritten Operating Expenses as described below; provided, however, that total Expense Reimbursements cannot exceed one hundred percent (100%) of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Actual Operating Expenses (as defined in the definition of “Operating Expenses” herein).

#44996992v9<LEGAL02> - ▇▇▇▇▇ - ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Portfolio - Loan Agreement (CMBS Fixed Rate)


excluded from Other Income solely because such Credit Tenants and Temporarily Dark Tenants are not in occupancy); (xiv) payments paid by or on behalf of any tenant under a Lease in whole or partial consideration for the termination of any Lease; (xv) sales tax rebates from any Governmental Authority; (xvi) sales, use and occupancy taxes on receipts required to be accounted for by Borrower to any Governmental Authority; (xvii) refunds and uncollectible accounts; (xviii) interest income from any source; (xix) unforfeited security deposits, utility and other similar deposits; (xx) income from tenants not paying rent; or (xxi) any disbursements to Borrower from the Reserve Funds.
