With respect to each REA, to Borrower’s knowledge (a) each REA is in full force and effect and has not been amended, restated, replaced or otherwise modified (except, in each case, as expressly set forth herein), (b) there are no defaults under any REA by any party thereto and no event has occurred which, but for the passage of time, the giving of notice, or both, would

All information submitted by Borrower, Guarantor to Lender and in all financial statements, rent rolls, reports, certificates and other documents submitted in connection with the Loan or in satisfaction of the terms thereof and all statements of fact made by Borrower and/or Guarantor in this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents, are accurate, complete and correct in all material respects. There has been no material adverse change in any condition, fact, circumstance or event that would make any such information inaccurate, incomplete or otherwise misleading in any material respect or that would otherwise have a Material Adverse Effect.
Borrower hereby represents and warrants to Lender that:
Borrower hereby represents and warrants that, as of the date hereof, the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 3.1, 3.2 through 3.8, 3.12, 3.18, 3.21, 3.27, 3.28, 3.29, 3.32, and 3.34 above are true and correct with respect to Guarantor, as the same are applicable to Guarantor.

Borrower agrees that, unless expressly provided otherwise, all of the representations and warranties of Borrower set forth in this Article 3 and elsewhere in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall survive for so long as any portion of the Debt remains owing to Lender. All representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made in this Agreement and in the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to have been relied upon by Lender notwithstanding any investigation heretofore or hereafter made by Lender or on its behalf.
38
From the date hereof and until payment and performance in full of all obligations of Borrower under this Agreement, the Security Instrument, the Note and the other Loan Documents or the earlier release of the lien of the Security Instrument (and all related obligations) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Security Instrument, the Note and the other Loan Documents, Borrower hereby covenants and agrees with Lender that:

Borrower’s rights and obligations are subject to the applicable provisions of the applicable Lease and Tenant’s rights thereunder. To the extent the obligations set forth in this Section 4.3 are the responsibility of Tenant pursuant to the applicable Lease, Borrower shall be deemed to be in compliance with this Section 4.3 so long as Tenant is not in default under the applicable Lease or, if the Tenant is in default under the applicable Lease after any applicable notice and cure period, for the obligations above, Borrower is asserting its rights and is using commercially reasonable efforts to enforce Tenant’s obligations under the applicable Lease; provided, however, that the foregoing shall in no way limit Borrower’s obligations under this Section 4.3 and the Loan Documents.
Borrower shall not knowingly commit or suffer any waste of the Property or make any change in the use of the Property which will in any way materially increase the risk of fire or other hazard arising out of the operation of the Property, or take any action that might invalidate or give cause for cancellation of any Policy, or do or permit to be done thereon anything that may in any way impair the value of the Property or the security for the Loan. Except as otherwise permitted in the Permitted Encumbrances, Borrower will not, without the prior written consent of Lender, permit any drilling or exploration for or extraction, removal, or production of any minerals from the surface or the subsurface of the Property, regardless of the depth thereof or the method of mining or extraction thereof.

Borrower shall in a timely manner observe, perform and fulfill each and every covenant, term and provision to be observed and performed by Borrower under this Agreement, the Security Instrument, the Note and the other Loan Documents and, subject to the notice and cure periods contained therein, any Material Agreement pertaining to the Property and any amendments, modifications or changes thereto.
Borrower shall cooperate with Lender in obtaining for Lender the benefits of any Awards or insurance proceeds lawfully or equitably payable in connection with the Property, and Lender shall be reimbursed for any reasonable and customary expenses incurred in connection therewith (including reasonable, actual attorneys’ fees and disbursements, and the payment by Lender of the expense of an appraisal on behalf of Borrower in case of a Casualty or Condemnation affecting the Property or any part thereto) out of such Awards or insurance proceeds.

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 if such cancellation or forgiveness has a Material Adverse Effect with respect to Borrower or the current and/or intended operation of the Property, except for adequate consideration or in the ordinary course of Borrower’s business (including Borrower’s determination that any account receivable is uncollectable).
50
Borrower shall not suffer, permit or initiate the joint assessment of the Property with (a) any other real property constituting a tax lot separate from the Property, or (b) any portion of the Property which may be deemed to constitute personal property, or any other procedure whereby the lien of any taxes which may be levied against such personal property shall be assessed or levied or charged to the Property.

Such security shall be in an amount equal to the excess of the total unpaid amounts incurred and to be incurred with respect to such alterations to the Improvements over the Alteration Threshold. All alterations to any Improvements shall be made lien-free and in a good and workmanlike manner in accordance with all Applicable Laws.
Borrower shall, subject to any applicable restrictions or requirements in any Existing Leases (a) promptly perform and/or observe, in all material respects, all of the covenants and agreements required to be performed and observed by it under any REA and do all things necessary to preserve and to keep unimpaired its material rights thereunder; (b) promptly notify Lender of any material default under any REA of which it is aware; (c) promptly deliver to Lender a copy of each financial statement, business plan, capital expenditures plan, notice, report and estimate received by it under any REA; (d) enforce the performance and observance of all of the covenants and agreements required to be performed and/or observed under any REA in a commercially reasonable manner; (e) cause the Property to be operated, in all material respects, in accordance with any REA; and (f) not, without the prior written consent of Lender, (i) enter into any new REA or execute modifications to any existing REA, (ii) surrender, terminate or cancel any REA, (iii) reduce or consent to the reduction of the term of any REA, (iv) increase or consent to the increase of the amount of any charges under any REA, (v) otherwise modify, change, supplement, alter or amend, or waive or release any of its rights and remedies under, any REA in any material respect, or (vi) following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, exercise any rights, make any decisions, grant any approvals or otherwise take any action under any REA.

In the event that Lender fails to respond to the matter in question within such time, Lender’s approval shall be deemed given for all purposes. Borrower shall provide Lender with such information and documentation as may be reasonably required by Lender.

Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article 6, following the date which is twelve (12) months from the Closing Date, Lender shall not unreasonably withhold consent to the transfer of
63
the Property, on three (3) occasions, in its entirety to, and the related assumptions of the Loan by, any Person (a “Transferee”) provided that, with respect to each such transfer, each of the following terms and conditions are satisfied (each, a “Permitted Property Transfer”):
64
Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything herein to the contrary, Borrower may not exercise its rights pursuant to this Section 6.4 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.
Lender reserves the right to condition the consent to a Prohibited Transfer (expressly excluding any Permitted Equity Transfer and Permitted Property Transfer) requested hereunder
65
upon (a) a modification of the terms hereof and on assumption of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as so modified by the proposed Prohibited Transfer, (b) payment of a transfer fee of 1% of outstanding principal balance of the Loan and all of Lender’s expenses incurred in connection with such Prohibited Transfer, (c) to the extent required by Lender, receipt of a Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to the Prohibited Transfer, (d) the proposed transferee’s continued compliance with the covenants set forth in this Agreement, including, without limitation, the covenants in Article 5, (e) receipt of a New Non-Consolidation Opinion with respect to the Prohibited Transfer, and/or (f) such other conditions and/or legal opinions as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion to be in the interest of Lender.

This provision shall apply to every Prohibited Transfer, whether or not Lender has consented to any previous Prohibited Transfer.
Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 6.6, Borrower may obtain a release of the Lien of the Security Instrument (and the related Loan Documents) on any Individual Property (the “Substituted Property”), by substituting therefor another commercial property acceptable to Lender with a property of kind, quality (including location attributes of submarket strength, population and access) and use equal to or better than the Substituted Property to be acquired by Borrower or an Affiliate thereof (the “Substitute Property”), provided that any such substitution (a “Substitution”) shall be subject, in each case, to the following conditions precedent are satisfied:

77
If the 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 Property as nearly as possible to the condition the Property was in immediately prior to such Casualty, with such alterations as may be reasonably approved by Lender (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. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Borrower’s obligations to promptly commence and diligently prosecute the Restoration of the Property in accordance with this Section 7.2 or take other actions on the Property under this Section are subject to any restrictions on the property owner to take such actions contained in the applicable Leases. To the extent the obligations of Borrower to restore the Property or take other actions on the Property are the responsibility of Tenant pursuant to the applicable Lease, Borrower shall be deemed to be in compliance with this Section so long as Borrower is asserting its rights and is using commercially reasonable efforts to enforce Tenant’s obligations under the applicable Lease including, without limitation, the exercise of remedies available under the applicable Lease; provided, however, that the foregoing shall in no way limit Borrower’s obligations to Lender under this Section 7.2 and this Agreement.

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. Borrower shall, at its expense, diligently prosecute any such proceedings, and shall consult with Lender, its attorneys and experts, and cooperate with them in the carrying on or defense of any such proceedings. Notwithstanding any taking by any public or quasi-public authority through Condemnation or otherwise (including but not limited to any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of the exercise of such taking), 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
78
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 Lender of the Award, Lender shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Note shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive the Award, or a portion thereof sufficient to pay the Debt. To the extent the obligations of Borrower to restore the Property or take other actions on the Property are the responsibility of Tenant pursuant to the applicable Lease, Borrower shall be deemed to be in compliance with this Section so long as Borrower is asserting its rights and is using commercially reasonable efforts to enforce Tenant’s obligations under the applicable Lease including, without limitation, the exercise of remedies available under the applicable Lease; provided, however, that the foregoing shall in no way limit Borrower’s obligations to Lender under this Section 7.3 and this Agreement.

84
with items (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) above, which such notice shall instruct Borrower to immediately commence making all Monthly Insurance Deposits, until such failure is remedied.

Borrower shall deposit with Lender on the date hereof $550,000, representing the tenant improvement costs which are payable by Borrower under the Lowe’s Lease ($500,000 with respect to HVAC improvements and $50,000 with respect to concrete repairs). Amounts deposited pursuant to this Section 8.9 are referred to herein as the “Existing TI/LC Reserve Funds”. The
88
Existing TI/LC Reserve Funds shall be disbursed in accordance with Section 8.5(b) hereof. All Existing TI/LC Reserve Funds shall be held by Lender or Servicer in an Eligible Account (the “Existing TI/LC Reserve Account”) which, during the continuation of a Cash Trap Event Period, may be a sub-account of the Cash Management Account.
Borrower shall enter into the Cash Management Agreement on the date hereof which shall govern the collection, holding and disbursement of Rents and any other income from the Property during the term of the Loan.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Loan is included in a REMIC Trust and, immediately following a release of any portion of the real property relating to the Property, the ratio of the unpaid principal balance of the Loan to the value of the remaining real property relating to the Property is greater than 125% (such value to be determined, in Lender’s sole discretion, by any commercially reasonable method permitted to a REMIC Trust and it being agreed and acknowledged that such loan-to-value determination shall be based on the value of only real property and shall exclude any personal property or going-concern value, if any), the principal balance of the Loan must be paid down by Borrower by an amount sufficient to satisfy REMIC Requirements, unless the Lender receives an opinion of counsel that the Loan will not fail to maintain its status as a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3)(A) of the IRS Code as a result of the related release of lien.
At the option of Lender, the Loan may be serviced by a servicer/trustee selected by Lender (the “Servicer”) and Lender may delegate all or any portion of its responsibilities under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to such servicer/trustee pursuant to a servicing agreement between Lender and such Servicer; provided, however, Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any monthly servicing fees to such Servicer.
In connection with any Rating Agency Confirmation or other Rating Agency consent, approval or review required hereunder (other than the initial review of the Loan by the Rating Agencies in connection with a Securitization), Borrower shall pay all of the costs and expenses of Lender, Servicer and each Rating Agency in connection therewith, and, if applicable, shall pay any fees imposed by any Rating Agency in connection therewith.
Lender shall have the option (the “Mezzanine Option”) at any time to divide the Loan into two parts, a mortgage loan and a mezzanine loan, provided, that (i) the total loan amounts for such mortgage loan and such mezzanine loan shall equal the then outstanding amount of the Loan immediately prior to Lender’s exercise of the Mezzanine Option, and (ii) the weighted average interest rate of such mortgage loan and mezzanine loan shall initially equal the Applicable Interest Rate. Borrower shall, at Lender’s sole cost and expense, cooperate with Lender in Lender’s exercise of the Mezzanine Option in good faith and in a timely manner, which such cooperation shall include, but not be limited to, (i) executing such amendments to the Loan Documents and Borrower or any SPE Component Entity’s organizational documents as may be reasonably requested by Lender or requested by the Rating Agencies, (ii) creating one or more Single Purpose
99
Entities (the “Mezzanine Borrower”), which such Mezzanine Borrower shall (A) own, directly or indirectly, 100% of the equity ownership interests in Borrower (the “Equity Collateral”), and (B) together with such constituent equity owners of such Mezzanine Borrower as may be designated by Lender, execute such agreements, instruments and other documents as may be required by Lender in connection with the mezzanine loan (including, without limitation, a promissory note evidencing the mezzanine loan and a pledge and security agreement pledging the Equity Collateral to Lender as security for the mezzanine loan); and (iii) delivering such opinions, title endorsements, UCC title insurance policies and other materials as may be required by Lender or the Rating Agencies.
At the request of Lender, Borrower shall appoint, as its agent, a registrar and transfer agent (the “Registrar”) reasonably acceptable to Lender which shall maintain, subject to such reasonable regulations as it shall provide, such books and records as are necessary for the registration and transfer of the Note in a manner that shall cause the Note to be considered to be in registered form for purposes of Section 163(f) of the IRS Code. The option to convert the Note into registered form once exercised may not be revoked. Any agreement setting out the rights and obligation of the Registrar shall be subject to the reasonable approval of Lender. Borrower may revoke the appointment of any particular person as Registrar, effective upon the effectiveness of the appointment of a replacement Registrar. The Registrar shall not be entitled to any fee from Borrower or Lender or any other lender in respect of transfers of the Note and other Loan Documents.
Borrower shall, at its sole cost and expense, protect, defend, indemnify, release and hold harmless the Indemnified Parties from and against any and all actual Losses imposed upon or incurred by or asserted against any Indemnified Parties and directly or indirectly arising out of or in any way relating to any one or more of the following: (a) any accident, injury to or death of persons or loss of or damage to property occurring in, on or about the Property or any part thereof or on the adjoining sidewalks, curbs, adjacent property or adjacent parking areas, streets or ways; (b) any use, nonuse or condition in, on or about the Property or any part thereof or on the adjoining sidewalks, curbs, adjacent property or adjacent parking areas, streets or ways; (c) performance of any labor or services or the furnishing of any materials or other property in respect of the Property or any part thereof; (d) any failure of the Property to be in compliance with any Applicable Law; (e) any and all claims and demands whatsoever which may be asserted against Lender by reason of any alleged obligations or undertakings on its part to perform or discharge any of the terms, covenants, or agreements contained in any Lease; (f) the payment of any commission, charge or brokerage fee to anyone (other than a broker or other agent retained by Lender) which may be payable in connection with the funding of the Loan evidenced by the Note and secured by the Security Instrument; and/or (g) the holding or investing of the funds on deposit in the Accounts or the performance of any work or the disbursement of funds in each case in connection with the
100
Reserve Funds, provided, however, that Borrower shall not be responsible to indemnify any Indemnified Party for Losses to the extent arising solely from such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence, willful misconduct, fraud, or illegal acts. Any amounts payable to Indemnified Parties by reason of the application of this Section 12.1 shall become immediately due and payable and shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date loss or damage is sustained by Indemnified Parties until paid.
Borrower shall, at its sole cost and expense, protect, defend, indemnify, release and hold harmless the Indemnified Parties from and against any and all Losses imposed upon or incurred by or asserted against any Indemnified Parties and directly or indirectly arising out of or in any way relating to (a) any tax on the making and/or recording of the Security Instrument, the Note or any of the other Loan Documents (whether due upon the making of same or upon the exercise of its remedies under the Loan Documents), and (b) any transfer tax incurred by Indemnified Parties in connection with the exercise of remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Documents.
Borrower shall, at its sole cost and expense, protect, defend, indemnify, release and hold harmless the Indemnified Parties from and against any and all Losses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in the investigation, defense, and settlement of Losses incurred in correcting any prohibited transaction or in the sale of a prohibited loan, and in obtaining any individual prohibited transaction exemption under ERISA that may be required, in Lender’s sole discretion) that Indemnified Parties may incur, directly or indirectly, as a result of a default under Sections 3.7 or 4.19 of this Agreement.
Upon written request by any Indemnified Party, Borrower shall defend such Indemnified Party (if requested by any Indemnified Party, in the name of the Indemnified Party) by attorneys and other professionals approved by the Indemnified Parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Indemnified Parties may, in their sole discretion, engage their own attorneys and other professionals to defend or assist them, and, at the option of Indemnified Parties, their attorneys shall control the resolution of any claim or proceeding. Upon demand, Borrower shall pay or, in the sole discretion of the Indemnified Parties, reimburse, the Indemnified Parties for the payment of reasonable fees and disbursements of attorneys, engineers, environmental consultants, laboratories and other professionals in connection therewith.
The obligations and liabilities of Borrower under this Article 12 shall fully survive indefinitely notwithstanding any termination, satisfaction, assignment, entry of a judgment of foreclosure, exercise of any power of sale, or delivery of a deed in lieu of foreclosure of the Security Instrument, but shall not relate to matters first occurring from and after the date of any foreclosure sale or deed in lieu of foreclosure, provided such matters were not caused by Borrower or Guarantor.

Upon receipt of an affidavit of an officer of Lender as to the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of the Note, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents which is not of public record, and, in the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of the Note, this Agreement or such other Loan Document, Borrower will issue, in lieu thereof, a replacement thereof, dated the date of the Note, this Agreement or such other Loan Document, as applicable, in the same principal amount thereof and otherwise of like tenor.
Borrower forthwith upon the execution and delivery of the Security Instrument and thereafter, from time to time, will cause the Security Instrument and any of the other Loan Documents creating a lien or security interest or evidencing the lien hereof upon the Property and each instrument of further assurance to be filed, registered or recorded in such manner and in such places as may be required by any present or future law in order to publish notice of and fully to protect and perfect the lien or security interest hereof upon, and the interest of Lender in, the Property. Borrower will pay all taxes, filing, registration or recording fees, and all expenses
106
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.
Borrower will, at the cost of Borrower, and without expense to Lender, 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. Borrower, within five (5) Business Days of written demand, will execute and deliver, and in the event it shall fail to so execute and deliver, hereby authorizes Lender 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 Lender in the Property. Borrower grants to Lender an irrevocable power of attorney coupled with an interest for the purpose of exercising and perfecting any and all rights and remedies available to Lender at law and in equity, including without limitation, such rights and remedies available to Lender pursuant to this Section 15.3.
107
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. Lender’s rights, powers and remedies may be pursued singularly, concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in Lender’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.
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.
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 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
108
Instrument, the Note and the other Loan Documents, or to declare a default for failure to effect prompt payment of any such other amount.
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.
Borrower shall not be entitled to any notices of any nature whatsoever from Lender except (a) with respect to matters for which this Agreement specifically and expressly provides for the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower and (b) with respect to matters for which Lender is required by Applicable Law to give notice, and Borrower hereby expressly waives the right to receive any notice from Lender with respect to any matter for which this Agreement does not specifically and expressly provide for the giving of notice by Lender to 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, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, Borrower agrees that neither Lender nor its agents shall be liable for any monetary damages, and, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, Borrower’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 Lender has acted reasonably shall be determined by an action seeking declaratory judgment. Lender agrees that, in such event, it shall cooperate in expediting any action seeking injunctive relief or declaratory judgment.
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 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.
109
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.
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.
This Agreement and all covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made herein and in the certificates delivered pursuant hereto shall survive the making by Lender of the Loan and the execution and delivery to Lender of the Note, and shall continue in full force and effect so long as all or any of the Debt is outstanding and unpaid unless a longer period is expressly set forth in this Agreement, the Security Instrument, the Note or the other Loan Documents. Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the legal representatives, successors and assigns of such party. All covenants, promises and agreements in this Agreement, by or on behalf of Borrower, shall inure to the benefit of the legal representatives, successors and assigns of Lender.

The Article and/or Section headings in this Agreement are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purpose.
Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under Applicable Law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under Applicable Law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.
Lender shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply or reverse and reapply any and all payments by Borrower to any portion of the obligations of Borrower hereunder. To the extent Borrower makes a payment or payments to Lender, which payment or proceeds or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any Creditors Rights Laws, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or proceeds received, the obligations hereunder or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continue in full force and effect, as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by Lender.
112
Borrower shall, within ten (10) Business Days of demand, pay Lender all reasonable, out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with: (a) the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and all of the other Loan Documents; (b) any modifications and amendments, if any, of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents; (c) the processing of any Borrower requests made hereunder and under any of the other Loan Documents; (d) the enforcement of any remedies hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or the satisfaction by Lender of any of Borrower’s or Guarantor’s obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; (e) enforcing or preserving any rights, in response to third party claims or the prosecuting or defending of any action or proceeding or other litigation, in each case against, under or affecting Borrower, this Agreement, the Security Instrument, the Note, the other Loan Documents, the Property, or any other security given for the Loan; and (f) otherwise protecting Lender’s interests under this Agreement and any other Loan Document, including, without limitation, in connection with any “work-out” of the Loan or any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization, rehabilitation, liquidation or other similar proceeding in respect of Borrower, SPE Component Entity or Guarantor or an assignment by Borrower, SPE Component Entity or Guarantor for the benefit of its creditors. For all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, Lender’s costs and expenses as described above shall also include, without limitation, all appraisal fees, engineering and architect costs and inspection fees, reasonable legal fees and expenses, accounting fees, fees for the disbursement of any Reserve Funds, environmental and other consultant fees, auditor fees, and the cost to Lender of any title insurance premiums and title company charges (including for down dates, abstracts, tax certificates, title insurance endorsements required by Lender, and UCC financing statements, tax lien and litigation searches), surveys, recording, reconveyance and notary fees, any transfer and mortgage taxes, any Rating Agency fees and expenses, and any loan servicing and special servicing fees and expenses (including, without limitation, any “work-out” and/or liquidation fees, but excluding any monthly servicing fees). Borrower shall not be liable for the payment of any such costs and expenses to the extent the same arise by reason of the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct of Lender. Borrower recognizes and agrees that formal written appraisals of the Property by a licensed independent appraiser may be required by Lender’s internal procedures and/or federal regulatory reporting requirements on an annual and/or specialized basis and that Lender may, at its option, require inspection of the Property by an independent supervising architect and/or cost engineering specialist at least semiannually. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall not be required to pay for more than one appraisal in any thirty-six (36) month period unless an Event of Default occurs and is continuing or as otherwise required by law. Additionally, if Borrower is undertaking a Restoration or is performing work that requires the obtaining of a building permit, then Borrower shall pay the reasonable out-of-pocket costs of architects, engineers and other consultants retained by Lender to review the performance of such Restoration or work. Any amounts payable to Lender pursuant to this Section 17.6 shall become immediately due and payable upon written demand and, if the same is not paid within ten (10) Business Days from such written demand, shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date which is ten (10) Business Days from such written demand until the date such amounts have been paid.
113
In the event (a) that the Security Instrument is foreclosed in whole or in part, (b) of the bankruptcy, insolvency, rehabilitation or other similar proceeding in respect of Borrower or any of its constituent Persons or an assignment by Borrower or any of its constituent Persons for the benefit of its creditors, or (c) Lender exercises any of its other remedies under this Agreement, the Security Instrument, the Note and the other Loan Documents, Borrower shall be chargeable with and agrees to pay all costs of collection and defense, including attorneys’ fees and costs, incurred by Lender or Borrower in connection therewith and in connection with any appellate proceeding or post judgment action involved therein, together with all required service or use taxes.

The Exhibits and Schedules annexed hereto are hereby incorporated herein as a part of this Agreement with the same effect as if set forth in the body hereof.
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.

115
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 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 Lender’s exercise of any such rights or remedies. Borrower acknowledges that Lender engages in the business of real estate financings and other real estate transactions and investments which may be viewed as adverse-to or competitive with the business of Borrower or its Affiliates.
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.
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 Borrower and Lender and their respective successors and assigns forever.
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.
116
Borrower acknowledges that Lender 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 the Properties taken separately. Borrower agrees that the Security Instruments are and will be cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with each other so that (i) an Event of Default under any of the Security Instruments shall constitute an Event of Default under each of the other Security
117
Instruments which secure the Note; (ii) an Event of Default under the Note or this Agreement shall constitute an Event of Default under each Security Instrument; and (iii) each Security Instrument shall constitute security for the Note as if a single blanket lien were placed on all of the Properties as security for the Note.

Borrower shall deliver to Lender such information as is reasonably required for Lender to make all applicable calculations. Lender’s calculation of the Debt Service Coverage Ratio, and all component calculations, shall be conclusive and binding on Borrower absent manifest error.
“Debt Yield” shall mean, as of the last day of the calendar month immediately preceding the applicable date of determination, the quotient (expressed as a percentage) obtained by dividing (a) Adjusted Net Cash Flow as of such date by (b) the outstanding principal amount of the Loan as of such date.

“Expense Reimbursements” shall mean expense reimbursements as determined from the most recent operating statement, to the extent deemed recurring and sustainable, 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); provided, however, that (a) total Expense Reimbursements cannot exceed one hundred percent (100%) of Borrower’s Actual Operating Expenses (as defined in the definition of “Operating Expenses” herein), and (b)
if the Underwritten Expenses are used for determination of Operating Expenses, then Lender’s underwritten gross potential expense reimbursements will be used, which equal $949,376.

“Other Income” shall mean all other applicable income as determined from the most recent operating statement for the Property at the time of determination, to the extent such income is deemed recurring and sustainable, determined on a trailing 12-month basis, computed in accordance with accounting principles reasonably acceptable to Lender, including, without limitation (and without duplication), parking income, cellular tower income, vending income and other similar items.

In making the calculations described herein, applicable line items may be adjusted by Lender in its reasonable discretion (a) to accurately reflect the amounts of any extraordinary non-recurring items in the relevant period and to reflect on a pro rata basis those items on an annual or semi-annual basis and (b) to reflect Leases (and projected changes to the applicable line items above) which are either (i) anticipated to terminate within the 90 days of the date of calculation or (ii) executed with creditworthy tenants with rent commencement dates scheduled to occur within 90 days of the date of calculation.
