II. GENERAL TERMS
Section 2.1 Loan Commitment; Disbursement to Borrower.
2.1.1 The Loan. Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth
herein, Lender hereby agrees to make and Borrower hereby agrees to accept the
Loan on the Closing Date.
2.1.2 Disbursement to Borrower. 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 reborrowed.
2.1.3 The Note, Mortgage and Loan Documents. The Loan shall be evidenced by
the Note and secured by the Mortgage, the Assignment of Leases and the other
Loan Documents.
2.1.4 Use of Proceeds. Borrower shall use the proceeds of the Loan to (a)
repay and discharge any existing loans relating to the Property, (b) pay all
past-due Basic Carrying Costs, if any, in respect of the Property, (c) make
deposits into the Reserve Funds on the Closing Date in the amounts provided
herein, (d) pay costs and expenses incurred in connection with the Closing of
the Loan, as approved by Lender, and (e) fund any working capital requirements
of the Property. The balance, if any, may be distributed by Borrower in
accordance with Borrower's operating agreement.
Section 2.2 Interest; Loan Payments; Late Payment Charge; Exit Fee.
2.2.1 Interest Generally. Interest on the outstanding principal balance of
the Loan shall accrue from the Closing Date to, but excluding, the Maturity Date
at the Applicable Interest Rate.
2.2.2 Interest Calculation. Interest on the outstanding principal balance
of the Loan shall be calculated by multiplying (a) the actual number of days
elapsed in the period for which the calculation is being made by (b) the
Applicable Interest Rate divided by three hundred sixty (360) by (c) the
outstanding principal balance.
2.2.3 Payments. If the Closing Date is not the eleventh (11th) day of a
month, on the Closing Date Borrower shall pay Lender all interest scheduled to
accrue during the Interest Period in which the Closing Date occurs. The Monthly
Debt Service Payment Amount shall be paid on the Payment Date occurring in
December, 2006, and on each subsequent Payment Date thereafter up to and
including the Payment Date preceding the Maturity Date. Each such payment shall
be applied first to the payment of interest that has accrued during the
preceding Interest Period (calculated in accordance with Section 2.2.2 above),
and the balance of such payment, if any, shall be applied to the reduction of
the principal sum of the Loan.
2.2.4 [INTENTIONALLY DELETED]
2.2.5 Payment on Maturity Date.
17
Borrower shall pay to Lender on the Maturity Date the outstanding principal
balance, all accrued and unpaid interest and all other amounts due hereunder and
under the Note, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents.
2.2.6 Payments after Default. Upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, interest on the outstanding principal
balance of the Loan and, to the extent permitted by law, overdue interest and
other amounts due in respect of the Loan, shall accrue at the Default Rate,
calculated from the date such payment was due without regard to any grace or
cure periods contained herein. Interest at the Default Rate shall be computed
from the occurrence of the Event of Default until the actual receipt and
collection of the Debt (or that portion thereof that is then due). To the extent
permitted by Applicable Law, interest at the Default Rate shall be added to the
Debt, shall itself accrue interest at the same rate as the Loan and shall be
secured by the Mortgage. This paragraph shall not be construed as an agreement
or privilege to extend the date of the payment of the Debt, nor as a waiver of
any other right or remedy accruing to Lender by reason of the occurrence of any
Event of Default.
2.2.7 Late Payment Charge. If any principal, interest or any other sums due
under the Loan Documents is not paid by Borrower on the date on which it is 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 Mortgage and the
other Loan Documents to the extent permitted by Applicable Law. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Borrower shall not be required to pay the late payment charge to
the extent sufficient amounts are deposited in the Deposit Account to satisfy
such obligations on the dates each such payment is required, regardless of
whether any of such amounts are so applied by Lender.
2.2.8 Usury Savings. This Agreement and the Note are subject to the express
condition that at no time shall Borrower be obligated or 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 Applicable 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 and not on account of the interest due
hereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use,
forbearance, or detention of the sums due under the Loan, shall, to the extent
permitted by Applicable Law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread
throughout the full stated term of the Loan until payment in full so that the
rate or amount of interest on account of the Loan does not exceed the Maximum
Legal Rate of interest from time to time in effect and applicable to the Loan
for so long as the Loan is outstanding.
18
Section 2.3 Prepayments.
2.3.1 Voluntary Prepayments. Except as otherwise provided in this
Agreement, Borrower shall not have the right to prepay the Loan in whole or in
part prior to the Maturity Date.
2.3.2 Mandatory Prepayments. On each date on which Borrower actually
receives any Net Proceeds, if Lender is not obligated to make such Net Proceeds
available to Borrower for the restoration of the Property, Borrower shall prepay
the outstanding principal balance of the Note in an amount equal to one hundred
percent (100%) of such Net Proceeds. No Yield Maintenance Premium shall be due
in connection with any prepayment made pursuant to this Section 2.3.2. Any
partial prepayment under this Section shall be applied to the last payments of
principal due under the Loan.
Section 2.4 Defeasance.
2.4.1 Defeasance. (1) Provided no Event of Default shall then exist,
Borrower shall have the right at any time after the Permitted Release Date to
voluntarily defease the entire Loan by and upon satisfaction of the following
conditions (such event being a "Defeasance Event"):
(i) Borrower shall provide not less than thirty (30) days prior
written notice to Lender specifying the date (the "Defeasance Date") on
which the Defeasance Event is to occur and the principal amount of the Loan

the principal balance of the Note to and including the Defeasance Date or
if the Defeasance Date is not a Payment Date, to and including the next

would be satisfactory to a prudent lender stating, among other things, that

Obligations and all obligations, rights and duties under and to the Note to
the Successor Borrower, that Lender has a perfected first priority security
interest in the Defeasance Deposit and the U.S. Obligations delivered by
Borrower and that any REMIC Trust formed pursuant to a Securitization will
not fail to maintain its status as a "real estate mortgage investment
conduit" within the meaning of Section 860D of the Code as a result of such
Defeasance Event;
19
(viii) Borrower shall deliver confirmation in writing from the
applicable Rating Agencies to the effect that such release will not result
in a downgrading, withdrawal or qualification of the respective ratings in
effect immediately prior to such Defeasance Event for the Securities issued
in connection with the Securitization which are then outstanding. If
required by the applicable Rating Agencies, Borrower shall also deliver or
cause to be delivered a non-consolidation opinion with respect to the
Successor Borrower in form and substance satisfactory to Lender and the
applicable Rating Agencies;
(ix) Borrower shall deliver an Officer's Certificate certifying that
the requirements set forth in this Section 2.4.1(a) have been satisfied;
(x) Borrower shall deliver a certificate of Borrower's independent
certified public accountant certifying that the U.S. Obligations purchased
with the Defeasance Deposit generate monthly amounts equal to or greater
than the Scheduled Defeasance Payments;
(xi) Borrower shall deliver such other certificates, documents or
instruments as Lender may reasonably request; and
(xii) Borrower shall pay all costs and expenses of Lender incurred in
connection with the Defeasance Event, including any costs and expenses

in Section 2.4.1(c) hereof as well as reasonable attorneys' fees and
expenses.
(b) In connection with each Defeasance Event, Borrower hereby appoints
Lender as its agent and attorney-in-fact for the purpose of using the Defeasance
Deposit to purchase U.S. Obligations which provide Scheduled Defeasance Payments
on or prior to, but as close as possible to, all successive scheduled Payment
Dates after the Defeasance Date. Borrower, pursuant to the Security Agreement or
other appropriate document, shall authorize and direct that the payments
received from the U.S. Obligations may be made directly to the Deposit Account
(unless otherwise directed by Lender) and applied to satisfy the obligations of
Borrower under the Note. Any portion of the Defeasance Deposit in excess of the
amount necessary to purchase the U.S. Obligations required by this Section 2.4.1
and satisfy Borrower's other obligations under this Section 2.4.1 shall be
remitted to Borrower.
(c) If Borrower has elected to defease the entire Note and the requirements
of this Section 2.4.1 have been satisfied, the Property shall be released from
the lien of the Mortgage and the 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 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 Lender. Such release shall be in a form
appropriate in the jurisdiction in which the Property is located and that
contains standard provisions protecting the rights of the releasing lender. In
20
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 Legal Requirements, and (ii) will effect 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 Mortgage, including
Lender's reasonable attorneys' fees. Except as set forth in this Section 2.4.1
and Section 2.4.2, no repayment, 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 Mortgage on the Property.
2.4.2 [INTENTIONALLY DELETED]
2.4.3 Successor Borrower. In connection with a defeasance under this
Section 2.4, Borrower shall establish or designate a successor entity (the
"Successor Borrower") which shall be a single purpose bankruptcy remote entity
with two (2) Independent Directors approved by Lender, and Borrower shall
transfer and assign all obligations, rights and duties under and to the Note, as
applicable, together with the pledged U.S. Obligations to such Successor
Borrower. Such Successor Borrower shall assume the obligations under the Note,
as applicable, and the Security Agreement and Borrower shall be relieved of its
obligations under such documents. Borrower shall pay $1,000 to any such
Successor Borrower as consideration for assuming the obligations under the Note,
as applicable, and the Security Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this
Agreement to the contrary, no other assumption fee shall be payable upon a
transfer of the Note, as applicable, in accordance with Section 2.4.1 but
Borrower shall pay all costs and expenses incurred by Lender, including Lender's
attorneys' fees and expenses, incurred in connection therewith.

request and at the expense of Borrower, upon payment in full of all principal
and interest on the Loan and all other amounts due and payable under the Loan

Agreement, release the Lien of the Mortgage on the Property.

existing and in good standing with requisite power and authority to own its
properties and to transact the businesses in which it is now engaged. Borrower
is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction
where it is required to be so qualified in connection with its properties,
businesses and operations. Borrower possesses all rights, licenses, permits and
authorizations, governmental or otherwise, necessary to entitle it to own its
properties and to transact the businesses in which it is now engaged, and the
sole business of Borrower is the ownership, management and operation of the
Property.
4.1.2 Proceedings. Borrower has taken all necessary action to authorize the
execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents. This Agreement and such other Loan Documents have been duly executed
and delivered by or on behalf of Borrower and constitute legal, valid and
binding obligations of Borrower enforceable against Borrower in accordance with
their respective terms, subject only to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and
similar laws affecting rights of creditors generally, and subject, as to
enforceability, to general principles of equity (regardless of whether
enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law).
4.1.3 No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents by Borrower will not conflict with or
result in a breach of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default
under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or
encumbrance (other than pursuant to the Loan Documents) upon any of the property
or assets of Borrower pursuant to the terms of any indenture, mortgage, deed of
trust, loan agreement, partnership agreement or other agreement or instrument to
which Borrower is a party or by which any of Borrower's property or assets is
subject, nor will such action result in any violation of the provisions of any
statute or any order, rule or regulation of any court or governmental agency or
body having jurisdiction over Borrower or any of Borrower's properties or
assets, and any consent, approval, authorization, order, registration or
qualification of or with any court or any such regulatory authority or other
governmental agency or body required for the execution, delivery and performance
by Borrower of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents has been obtained and
is in full force and effect.
4.1.4 Litigation. There are no actions, suits or proceedings at law or in
equity by or before any Governmental Authority or other agency now pending or
threatened against or affecting Borrower or any portion of the Property, which
actions, suits or proceedings, if determined against Borrower or any portion of
the Property, might materially adversely affect the condition (financial or
otherwise) or business of Borrower or the condition or ownership of the
Property.
25
4.1.5 Agreements. Borrower is not a party to any agreement or instrument or
subject to any restriction which might materially and adversely affect Borrower
or any portion of the Property, or Borrower's business, properties or assets,
operations or condition, financial or otherwise. Borrower is not in default in
any material respect in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the
obligations, covenants or conditions contained in any agreement or instrument to
which it is a party or by which Borrower or the Property are bound. Borrower has
no material financial obligation under any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust,

permitted pursuant to the Loan Documents and the Liens created by the Loan
Documents. The Mortgage, when properly recorded in the appropriate records,
together with any Uniform Commercial Code financing statements required to be
filed in connection therewith, will create (a) a valid, perfected lien on the
Property, subject only to Permitted Encumbrances and the Liens created by the
Loan Documents and (b) perfected security interests in and to, and perfected
collateral assignments of, all personalty (including the Leases), all in
accordance with the terms thereof, in each case subject only to any applicable

become a lien prior to, or of equal priority with, the Liens created by the Loan
Documents.

Persons are contemplating either the filing of a petition by it under any state
or federal bankruptcy or insolvency laws or the liquidation of all or a major

Person contemplating the filing of any such petition against it or such
constituent Persons.

in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents contains any untrue
statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to
make statements contained herein or therein not misleading. There is no material
fact presently known to Borrower which has not been disclosed to Lender which
adversely affects, nor as far as Borrower can foresee, might adversely affect,
the Property or the business, operations or condition (financial or otherwise)
of Borrower.

anticipated losses from any unfavorable commitments that are known to Borrower
and reasonably likely to have a materially adverse effect on the Property or the
operation thereof as a retail shopping center, except as referred to or

statements, there has been no materially adverse change in the financial
condition, operations or business of Borrower from that set forth in said

special or other assessments.
4.1.18 Enforceability. The Loan Documents are not subject to any right of
rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense by Borrower, including the defense
of usury, nor would the operation of any of the terms of the Loan Documents, or

and Borrower has not asserted any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or

any portion of the Rents due and payable or to become due and payable which are

there exists no structural or other material defects or damages in any portion
of the Property, whether latent or otherwise, and Borrower has not received
notice from any insurance company or bonding company of any defects or
inadequacies in the Property, or any part thereof, which would adversely affect
the insurability of the same or cause the imposition of extraordinary premiums
or charges thereon or of any termination or threatened termination of any policy
of insurance or bond.

improvements which were included in determining the appraised value of the
Property lie wholly within the boundaries and building restriction lines of the

current Leases are in full force and effect and, except as may have been
reflected in any tenant estoppel certificates delivered to Lender or in Schedule
I, Borrower is not aware of any defaults thereunder by either party and there

deposits) has been paid more than one (1) month in advance of its due date.
Except as disclosed in the tenant estoppels or disclosed in Schedule I, all work

or pledge of any Lease or of the Rents received therein. To Borrower's
knowledge, except as disclosed in the tenant estoppels or disclosed in Schedule
I, no tenant listed on Schedule I has assigned its Lease or sublet all or any
portion of the premises demised thereby to Borrower's knowledge; no such tenant
holds its leased premises under assignment or sublease, nor does anyone except
such tenant and its employees occupy such leased premises. Except as disclosed
in the tenant estoppels or disclosed in Schedule I, no tenant under any Lease
has a right or option pursuant to such Lease or otherwise to purchase all or any
part of the leased premises or the building of which the leased premises are a
part. Borrower is not aware that any hazardous wastes or toxic substances, as

obligations under any of the Loan Documents. Borrower hereby covenants and
agrees not to commit, permit or suffer to exist any act or omission affording
such right of forfeiture. Borrower shall at all times maintain, preserve and
protect all franchises and trade names and preserve all the remainder of its

will deliver to Lender receipts for payment or other evidence satisfactory to
Lender that the Taxes and Other Charges have been so paid or are not then
delinquent no later than ten (10) Business Days after the date on which the

provisions of any other instrument to which Borrower is subject and shall not
constitute a default thereunder and such proceeding shall be conducted in

sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost; (iv) Borrower shall promptly
36
upon final determination thereof pay the amount of any such Taxes or Other

Lender with respect to any proceedings before any court, board or other

any such proceedings.

Proceeds.

conspicuous legend at the top of the first page thereof to the effect that "IF
YOU FAIL TO RESPOND TO THIS REQUEST FOR APPROVAL IN WRITING WITHIN 10 BUSINESS

5.1.21 Alterations. Borrower shall obtain Lender's prior written consent to
any alterations to any Improvements, on the Property, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed except with respect to alterations that may
have a material adverse effect on Borrower's financial condition, the value of
the Property or the Net Operating Income. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Lender's consent shall not be required in connection with any alterations that
will not have a material adverse effect on Borrower's financial condition, the
value of the Property or the Net Operating Income, provided that such
alterations are made in connection with (a) tenant improvement work performed
pursuant to the terms of any Lease executed on or before the date hereof, (b)
tenant improvement work performed pursuant to the terms and provisions of a
Lease and not adversely affecting any structural component of any Improvements,

connection with the restoration of the Property after the occurrence of a
casualty in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement or (d)
alterations, additions, reconfiguration, renovations or demolition performed

Lease pursuant to the terms and provisions of one or more Leases of the JC
Penney Space. If the total unpaid amounts due and payable with respect to
alterations to the Improvements (other than such amounts to be paid or
reimbursed by tenants under the Leases) shall at any time exceed Two Million
Five Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($2,500,000) (the "Threshold Amount"),
Borrower shall promptly deliver to Lender as security for the payment of such
amounts and as additional security for Borrower's obligations under the Loan
Documents any of the following: (A) cash, (B) U.S. Obligations, (C) other
securities having a rating acceptable to Lender and that the applicable Rating
Agencies have confirmed in writing will not, in and of itself, result in a
downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the initial, or, if higher, then
current ratings assigned in connection with any Securitization, or (D) a
completion bond or letter of credit issued by a financial institution having a
rating by Standard & Poor's Ratings Group of not less than A-1+ if the term of
such bond or letter of credit is no longer than three (3) months or, if such
term is in excess of three (3) months, issued by a financial institution having
a rating that is acceptable to Lender and that the applicable Rating Agencies
have confirmed in writing will not, in and of itself, result in a downgrade,
withdrawal or qualification of the initial, or, if higher, then current ratings
assigned in connection with any Securitization. Such security shall be in an
amount equal to the excess of the total unpaid amounts with respect to
alterations to the Improvements on the Property (other than such amounts to be
paid or reimbursed by tenants under the Leases) over the Threshold Amount and
applied from time to time at the option of Lender to pay for such alterations or
to terminate any of the alterations and restore the Property to the extent
necessary to prevent any material adverse effect on the value of the Property.
Borrower may request a waiver from Lender of the requirement for such security,
and Lender shall respond to such request within ten (10) Business Days

(b) All insurance provided for in Section 6.1(a) shall be obtained under
valid and enforceable policies (collectively, the "Policies" or in the singular,
the "Policy"), and shall be subject to the approval of Lender as to insurance
companies, amounts, deductibles, loss payees and insureds. The Policies shall be
issued by financially sound and responsible insurance companies authorized to do

the Property in compliance with the provisions of Section 6.1(a).
(d) All Policies of insurance provided for or contemplated by Section
6.1(a), except for the Policy referenced in Section 6.1(a)(v), shall name

standard non-contributing mortgagee clause in favor of Lender providing that the
loss thereunder shall be payable to Lender.
(e) All Policies of insurance provided for in Section 6.1(a)(v) shall
contain clauses or endorsements to the effect that:
(i) no act or negligence of Borrower, or anyone acting for Borrower,
or of any Tenant or other occupant, or failure to comply with the
provisions of any Policy, which might otherwise result in a forfeiture of
the insurance or any part thereof, shall in any way affect the validity or
enforceability of the insurance insofar as Lender is concerned;
50
(ii) the Policy shall not be materially changed (other than to
increase the coverage provided thereby) or canceled without at least thirty
(30) days' written notice to Lender and any other party named therein as an
additional insured;

insurance required hereunder is not 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. All premiums 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
Mortgage and shall bear interest at the Default Rate. Lender hereby acknowledges

Property as nearly as possible to the condition the Property was in immediately
prior to such fire or other casualty, with such alterations as may be reasonably
approved by Lender (a "Restoration") and otherwise in accordance with Section
6.4. 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 6.3 Condemnation. Borrower shall promptly give Lender notice of the
actual or threatened commencement of any proceeding for the Condemnation of any
portion of the Property and shall deliver to Lender copies of any and all papers
served in connection with such proceedings. Lender may participate in any such
proceedings, 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 Restoration of the
51
Property and otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 6.4. If the

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 Casualty Retainage. The
term "Casualty Retainage" shall mean an amount equal to ten percent (10%)
of the costs actually incurred for work in place as part of the
Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, until the Restoration
has been completed. The Casualty Retainage shall in no event, and
notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above in this Section
6.4(b), be less than the amount actually held back by Borrower from
contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration. The
Casualty Retainage shall not be released until the Casualty Consultant
certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance
with the provisions of this Section 6.4(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 Lender
receives evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that the costs of the
Restoration have been paid in full or will be paid in full out of the
Casualty Retainage; provided, however, that Lender will release the portion
of the Casualty Retainage being held with respect to any contractor,
subcontractor or materialman engaged in the Restoration as of the date upon
which the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the contractor,
subcontractor or materialman has satisfactorily completed all work and has
supplied all materials in accordance with the provisions of the
contractor's, subcontractor's or materialman's contract, the contractor,
subcontractor or materialman delivers the lien waivers and evidence of
payment in full of all sums due to the contractor, subcontractor or
materialman as may be reasonably requested by Lender or by the title
company issuing the Title Insurance Policy, and Lender receives an
endorsement to the Title Insurance Policy insuring the continued priority
of the lien of the Mortgage and evidence of payment of any premium payable
for such endorsement. If required by Lender, the release of any such
portion of the Casualty Retainage shall be approved by the surety company,
if any, which has issued a payment or performance bond with respect to the
contractor, subcontractor or materialman.
(v) Lender shall not be obligated to make disbursements of the Net
Proceeds more frequently than once every calendar month.
54
(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 deposit
the deficiency (the "Net Proceeds Deficiency") with Lender before any
further disbursement of the Net Proceeds shall be made. 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 6.4(b) shall constitute
additional security for the Debt and other obligations under the 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 6.4(b), and the
receipt by Lender of evidence satisfactory to Lender that all costs
incurred in connection with the Restoration have been paid in full, shall
be remitted by Lender to Borrower, provided no Event of Default shall have
occurred and shall be continuing under the Note, this Agreement or any of
the other Loan Documents.
(viii) 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 6.4(b)(vii) may be retained and applied by Lender
toward the payment of the Debt whether or not then due and payable in such
order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall deem
proper, or, at the discretion of Lender, the same may be paid, either in
whole or in part, to Borrower for such purposes as Lender shall designate,
in its discretion.
(ix) In the event of foreclosure of the Mortgage, 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 that are not
blanket Policies then in force concerning the Property and all proceeds
payable thereunder shall thereupon vest in the purchaser at such
foreclosure or Lender or other transferee in the event of such other
transfer of title.
VII. RESERVE FUNDS
Section 7.1 Required Repair Escrow Fund.
7.1.1 Deposits. Borrower shall perform the repairs at the Property as set
forth on Schedule II hereto (such repairs hereinafter referred to as "Required
Repairs"). Borrower shall complete each of the Required Repairs on or before the
deadline for each repair as set forth on Schedule II. On the Closing Date,
Borrower shall deposit with Lender the amount, if any, set forth on Schedule II
to perform each of the Required Repairs. Amounts so deposited with Lender shall
be held by Lender in an interest bearing account and shall hereinafter be
referred to as the "Required Repair Fund" and the account in which such amounts
are held shall hereinafter be referred to as the "Required Repair Account".
55
7.1.2 Release of Required Repair Funds. ii) Lender shall disburse to
Borrower the Required Repair Funds from the Required Repair Account from time to
time upon satisfaction by Borrower of each of the following conditions: (i)
Borrower shall submit a written request for payment to Lender at least thirty
(30) days prior to the date on which Borrower requests such payment be made and
specifies the Required Repairs to be paid, (ii) on the date such request is
received by Lender and on the date such payment is to be made, no Default or
Event of Default shall exist and remain uncured, (iii) Lender shall have
received a certificate from Borrower (A) stating that all Required Repairs to be
funded by the requested disbursement have been completed in good and workmanlike
manner and in accordance with all applicable Legal Requirements, such
certificate to be accompanied by a copy of any license, permit or other approval
by any Governmental Authority required to commence and/or complete the Required
Repairs, (B) identifying each Person that supplied materials or labor in
connection with the Required Repairs performed to be funded by the requested
disbursement, and (C) stating that each such Person has been paid in full or
will be paid in full upon such disbursement, such certificate to be accompanied
by lien waivers or other evidence of payment satisfactory to Lender, (iv)
intentionally deleted; and (v) Lender shall have received such other evidence as
Lender shall reasonably request that the Required Repairs to be funded by the
requested disbursement have been completed and are paid for or will be paid upon
such disbursement to Borrower. Lender shall not be required to make
disbursements from the Required Repair Account unless such requested
disbursement is in an amount greater than $25,000 (or a lesser amount if the
total amount in the Required Repair Account is less than $25,000, in which case
only one disbursement of the amount remaining in the Required Repair Account
shall be made) and such disbursement shall be made only upon satisfaction of
each condition contained in this Section 7.1.2. Each disbursement for a
completed Required Repair shall be in the full amount of all remaining funds
reserved for such Required Repair on Schedule II.
(b) If (i) the cost of a Required Repair exceeds $25,000, (ii) the
contractor performing such Required Repair requires periodic payments pursuant
to terms of a written contract, and (iii) Lender has approved in writing in
advance such periodic payments, a request for reimbursement from the Required
Repair Account may be made after completion of a portion of the work under such
contract, provided (A) such contract requires payment upon completion of such
portion of the work, (B) the materials for which the request is made are on site
at the Property and are properly secured or have been installed in the Property,
(C) all other conditions in this Agreement for disbursement have been satisfied,
(D) funds remaining in the Required Repair Account are, in Lender's judgment,
sufficient to complete such Required Repair and all other Required Repairs, and
(E) if required by Lender, each contractor or subcontractor receiving payments
under such contract shall provide a waiver of lien with respect to amounts which
have been paid to that contractor or subcontractor.
Section 7.2 Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund.
Borrower shall pay to Lender on each Payment Date (a) one-twelfth of the
Taxes that Lender estimates will be payable during the next ensuing twelve (12)
months in order to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Taxes
at least thirty (30) days prior to their respective due dates, and (b) except as
otherwise set forth in this Section 7.2, one-twelfth of the Insurance Premiums
that Lender estimates will be payable for the renewal of the coverage afforded
by the Policies upon the expiration thereof in order to accumulate with Lender
sufficient funds to pay all such Insurance Premiums at least thirty (30) days
56
prior to the expiration of the Policies (said amounts in (a) and (b) above
hereinafter called the "Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund"). Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in the event that the Policies are blanket insurance policies
covering other properties of Affiliates of Borrower and provided no Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Borrower shall not be required to
deposit into the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund for Insurance Premiums. The Tax
and Insurance Escrow Fund and the payments of interest or principal or both,
payable pursuant to the Note, shall be added together and shall be paid as an
aggregate sum by Borrower to Lender. Lender will apply the Tax and Insurance
Escrow Fund to payments of Taxes and (if Borrower has made the deposits required
by clause (b) above) Insurance Premiums required to be made by Borrower pursuant
to Section 5.1.2 hereof and under the Mortgage. In making any payment relating
to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund, Lender may do so according to any ▇▇▇▇,
statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office (with respect
to Taxes) or insurer or agent (with respect to Insurance Premiums), without
inquiry into the accuracy of such ▇▇▇▇, 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 and Insurance Escrow Fund shall exceed the
amounts due for Taxes and Insurance Premiums pursuant to Section 5.1.2 hereof,
Lender shall, in its sole discretion, return any excess to Borrower or credit
such excess against future payments to be made to the Tax and Insurance Escrow
Fund. Any amount remaining in the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund after the Debt
has been paid in full shall be returned to Borrower. If at any time Lender
reasonably determines that the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund is not or will not
be sufficient to pay Taxes and Insurance Premiums by the dates set forth in (a)
and (b) above, Lender shall notify Borrower of such determination and Borrower
shall increase its monthly payments to Lender by the amount that Lender
estimates is sufficient to make up the deficiency at least thirty (30) days
prior to delinquency of the Taxes and/or thirty (30) days prior to expiration of
the Policies, as the case may be. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as (A)
Borrower provides to Lender evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that all
insurance premiums otherwise due hereunder have been paid pursuant to Borrower's
blanket insurance policy, which policy shall satisfy the conditions of Section
6.1 hereof, and (B) there shall be no Event of Default then continuing, then
Borrower shall have no obligation to escrow insurance premiums as set forth in
this Section 7.2 with respect to any such insurance covered by Borrower's
blanket insurance policy.
Section 7.3 Replacements and Replacement Reserve.
7.3.1 Replacement Reserve Fund. Borrower shall pay to Lender on the date
hereof and each Payment Date an amount equal to $5,170.78 (the "Replacement
Reserve Monthly Deposit") for replacements and repairs required to be made to
the Property during the calendar year (collectively, the "Replacements").
Amounts so deposited shall hereinafter be referred to as the "Replacement
Reserve Fund" and the account in which such amounts are held shall hereinafter
be referred to as the "Replacement Reserve Account". Lender may increase the
monthly amounts required to be deposited into the Replacement Reserve Fund upon
thirty (30) days notice to Borrower if Lender determines in its reasonable
discretion that an increase is necessary to maintain the proper maintenance and
operation of the Property.
7.3.2 Disbursements from Replacement Reserve Account. (c) Lender shall make
disbursements from the Replacement Reserve Account to pay Borrower only for the
costs of the Replacements. Lender shall not be obligated to make disbursements
from the Replacement Reserve Account to reimburse Borrower for the costs of
routine maintenance to the Property or for costs which are to be reimbursed from
the Required Repair Fund.
57
(b) Lender shall, upon written request from Borrower and satisfaction of
the requirements set forth in this Section 7.3.2, disburse to Borrower amounts
from the Replacement Reserve Account necessary to pay for the actual approved
costs of Replacements or to reimburse Borrower therefor, upon completion of such
Replacements (or, upon partial completion in the case of Replacements made
pursuant to Section 7.3.2(e)) as determined by Lender. In no event shall Lender
be obligated to disburse funds from the Replacement Reserve Account if a Default
or an Event of Default exists.
(c) Each request for disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account
shall be in a form specified or approved by Lender and shall specify (i) the
specific Replacements for which the disbursement is requested, (ii) the price of
all materials (grouped by type or category) used in any Replacement, and (iii)
the cost of all contracted labor or other services applicable to each
Replacement for which such request for disbursement is made. With each request
Borrower shall certify that all Replacements have been made in accordance with
all applicable Legal Requirements of any Governmental Authority. Each request
for disbursement shall include copies of invoices for all items or materials
purchased and all contracted labor or services provided and, unless Lender has
agreed to issue joint checks as described below in connection with a particular
Replacement, each request shall include evidence satisfactory to Lender of
payment of all such amounts. Except as provided in Section 7.3.2(e), each
request for disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account shall be made only
after completion of the Replacement for which disbursement is requested.
Borrower shall provide Lender evidence of completion satisfactory to Lender in
its reasonable judgment.
(d) Borrower shall pay all invoices in connection with the Replacements
with respect to which a disbursement is requested prior to submitting such
request for disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account or, at the request
of Borrower, Lender will issue joint checks, payable to Borrower and the
contractor, supplier, materialman, mechanic, subcontractor or other party to
whom payment is due in connection with a Replacement. In the case of payments
made by joint check, Lender may require a waiver of lien from each Person
receiving payment prior to Lender's disbursement from the Replacement Reserve
Account. In addition, as a condition to any disbursement, Lender may require
Borrower to obtain lien waivers from each contractor, supplier, materialman,
mechanic or subcontractor who receives payment in an amount equal to or greater
than $25,000 for completion of its work or delivery of its materials. Any lien
waiver delivered hereunder shall conform to the requirements of Applicable Law
and shall cover all work performed and materials supplied (including equipment
and fixtures) by that contractor, supplier, subcontractor, mechanic or
materialman through the date covered by the current reimbursement request (or,
in the event that payment to such contractor, supplier, subcontractor, mechanic
or materialmen is to be made by a joint check, the release of lien shall be
effective through the date covered by the previous release of funds request).
(e) If (i) the cost of a Replacement exceeds $25,000, (ii) the contractor
performing such Replacement requires periodic payments pursuant to terms of a
written contract, and (iii) Lender has approved in writing in advance such
periodic payments, a request for reimbursement from the Replacement Reserve
Account may be made after completion of a portion of the work under such
contract, provided (A) such contract requires payment upon completion of such
58
portion of the work, (B) the materials for which the request is made are on site
at the Property and are properly secured or have been installed in the Property,
(C) all other conditions in this Agreement for disbursement have been satisfied,
(D) funds remaining in the Replacement Reserve Account are, in Lender's
judgment, sufficient to complete such Replacement and other Replacements when
required, and (E) if required by Lender, each contractor or subcontractor
receiving payments under such contract shall provide a waiver of lien with
respect to amounts which have been paid to that contractor or subcontractor.
(f) Borrower shall not make a request for disbursement from the Replacement
Reserve Account more frequently than once in any calendar month and (except in
connection with the final disbursement) the total cost of all Replacements in
any request shall not be less than $25,000.00.
7.3.3 Performance of Replacements. (d) Borrower shall make Replacements
when required in order to keep the Property in condition and repair consistent
with similar retail properties in the same market segment in the metropolitan
area in which the Property is located, and to keep the Property or any portion
thereof from deteriorating. Borrower shall complete all Replacements in a good
and workmanlike manner as soon as practicable following the commencement of
making each such Replacement.
(b) Lender reserves the right, at its option, to approve all contracts or
work orders in excess of $25,000 with materialmen, mechanics, suppliers,
subcontractors, contractors or other parties providing labor or materials in
connection with the Replacements. Upon Lender's request, Borrower shall assign
any contract or subcontract to Lender.
(c) In the event Lender determines in its reasonable discretion that any
Replacement is not being performed in a workmanlike or timely manner or that any
Replacement has not been completed in a workmanlike or timely manner, Lender
shall have the option, after notice to Borrower giving a reasonable time period
to cure any such problem, to withhold disbursement for such unsatisfactory
Replacement and to proceed under existing contracts or to contract with third
parties to complete such Replacement and to apply the Replacement Reserve Fund
toward the labor and materials necessary to complete such Replacement, without
providing any prior notice to Borrower and to exercise any and all other
remedies available to Lender upon an Event of Default hereunder.
(d) In order to facilitate Lender's completion or making of the
Replacements pursuant to Section 7.3.3(c) above, Borrower grants Lender the
right to enter onto the Property and perform any and all work and labor
necessary to complete or make the Replacements and/or employ watchmen to protect
the Property from damage. All sums so expended by Lender, to the extent not paid
from the Replacement Reserve Fund, shall be deemed to have been advanced under
the Loan to Borrower and secured by the Mortgage. For this purpose Borrower
constitutes and appoints Lender its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full
power of substitution to complete or undertake the Replacements in the name of
Borrower. Such power of attorney shall be deemed to be a power coupled with an
interest and cannot be revoked. Borrower empowers said attorney-in-fact as
follows: (i) to use any funds in the Replacement Reserve Account for the purpose
of making or completing the Replacements; (ii) to make such additions, changes
59
and corrections to the Replacements as shall be necessary or desirable to
complete the Replacements; (iii) to employ such contractors, subcontractors,
agents, architects and inspectors as shall be required for such purposes; (iv)
to pay, settle or compromise all existing bills and claims which are or may
become Liens against the Property, or as may be necessary or desirable for the
completion of the Replacements, or for clearance of title; (v) to execute all
applications and certificates in the name of Borrower which may be required by
any of the contract documents; (vi) to prosecute and defend all actions or
proceedings in connection with the Property or the rehabilitation and repair of
the Property; and (vii) to do any and every act which Borrower might do in its
own behalf to fulfill the terms of this Agreement.
(e) Nothing in this Section 7.3.3 shall: (i) make Lender responsible for
making or completing the Replacements; (ii) require Lender to expend funds in
addition to the Replacement Reserve Fund to make or complete any Replacement;
(iii) obligate Lender to proceed with the Replacements; or (iv) obligate Lender
to demand from Borrower additional sums to make or complete any Replacement.
(f) Borrower shall permit Lender and Lender's agents and representatives
(including, without limitation, Lender's engineer, architect, or inspector) or
third parties making Replacements pursuant to this Section 7.3.3 to enter onto
the Property during normal business hours (subject to the rights of tenants
under their Leases) to inspect the progress of any Replacements and all
materials being used in connection therewith, to examine all plans and shop
drawings relating to such Replacements which are or may be kept at the Property,
and to complete any Replacements made pursuant to this Section 7.3.3. Borrower
shall cause all contractors and subcontractors to cooperate with Lender or
Lender's representatives or such other persons described above in connection
with inspections described in this Section 7.3.3 or the completion of
Replacements.
(g) Lender may require an inspection of the Property at Borrower's expense
prior to making a monthly disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account in
order to verify completion of the Replacements for which reimbursement is
sought. Lender may require that such inspection be conducted by an appropriate
independent qualified professional selected by Lender and/or may require a copy
of a certificate of completion by an independent qualified professional
acceptable to Lender prior to the disbursement of any amounts from the
Replacement Reserve Account. Borrower shall pay the expense of the inspection as
required hereunder, whether such inspection is conducted by Lender or by an
independent qualified professional.
(h) The Replacements and all materials, equipment, fixtures, or any other
item comprising a part of any Replacement shall be constructed, installed or
completed, as applicable, free and clear of all mechanic's, materialman's or
other liens (except for those Liens existing on the date of this Agreement which
have been approved in writing by Lender).
(i) Before each disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account, Lender
may require Borrower to provide Lender with a search of title to the Property
effective to the date of the disbursement, which search shows that no mechanic's
or materialmen's liens. or other Liens. of any nature have been placed against
the Property since the date of recordation of the Mortgage and that title to the
Property is free and clear of all Liens (other than the lien of the Mortgage and
any other Liens previously approved in writing by Lender, if any).
60
(j) All Replacements shall comply with all applicable Legal Requirements of
all Governmental Authorities having jurisdiction over the Property and
applicable insurance requirements including, without limitation, applicable
building codes, special use permits, environmental regulations, and requirements
of insurance underwriters.
(k) 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 with a particular Replacement. All
such policies shall be in form and amount reasonably satisfactory to Lender. All
such policies which can be endorsed with standard mortgagee clauses making loss
payable to Lender or its assigns shall be so endorsed. Certified copies of such
policies shall be delivered to Lender.
7.3.4 Failure to Make Replacements. (e) It shall be an Event of Default
under this Agreement if Borrower fails to comply with any provision of this
Section 7.3 and such failure is not cured within thirty (30) days after notice
from Lender. Upon the occurrence of such an Event of Default, Lender may use the
Replacement Reserve Fund (or any portion thereof) for any purpose, including but
not limited to completion of the Replacements as provided in Section 7.3.3, or
for any other repair or replacement to the Property or toward payment of the
Debt in such order, proportion and priority as Lender may determine in its sole
discretion. Lender's right to withdraw and apply the Replacement Reserve Funds
shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies provided to Lender under
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
(b) Nothing in this Agreement shall obligate Lender to apply all or any
portion of the Replacement Reserve Fund on account of an Event of Default to
payment of the Debt or in any specific order or priority.
7.3.5 Balance in the Replacement Reserve Account. The insufficiency of any
balance in the Replacement Reserve Account shall not relieve Borrower from its
obligation to fulfill all preservation and maintenance covenants in the Loan
Documents.
7.3.6 Indemnification. 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 performance of the Replacements. Borrower shall
assign to Lender all rights and claims Borrower may have against all persons or
entities supplying labor or materials in connection with the Replacements;
provided, however, that Lender may not pursue any such right or claim unless an
Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured.
Section 7.4 Rollover Reserve.
61
7.4.1 Deposits to Rollover Reserve Fund. Borrower shall pay to Lender on
each Payment Date the sum of $23,750.00 (the "Rollover Reserve Monthly
Deposit"), which amounts shall be deposited with and held by Lender for tenant
improvement and leasing commission obligations incurred following the date
hereof (collectively, "Leasing Expenses"); provided, however, Borrower shall not
be required to make pay the Rollover Reserve Monthly Deposit to Lender during
such times as the balance in the Rollover Reserve Account exceeds $855,000.00.
In addition, Borrower shall pay to Lender for deposit in the Rollover Reserve
Account all Lease Termination Payments; provided, however, no Lease Termination
Payments contributed to the Rollover Reserve Account shall be counted towards
any balance in the Rollover Reserve Account which serves to limit future
contributions to the Rollover Reserve Account from the Rollover Reserve Deposit.
Amounts so deposited shall hereinafter be referred to as the "Rollover Reserve
Fund" and the account to which such amounts are held shall hereinafter be
referred to as the "Rollover Reserve Account".
7.4.2 Withdrawal of Rollover Reserve Funds. Lender shall make disbursements
from the Rollover Escrow Fund for tenant improvement and leasing commission
obligations incurred by Borrower. All such expenses shall be approved by Lender
in its reasonable discretion. Lender shall make disbursements as requested by
Borrower on a monthly basis in increments of no less than $5,000.00 upon
delivery by Borrower of Lender's standard form of draw request accompanied by
copies of paid invoices for the amounts requested and, if required by Lender,
lien waivers and releases from all parties furnishing materials and/or services
in connection with the requested payment. Lender may require an inspection of
the Property at Borrower's expense prior to making a monthly disbursement in
order to verify completion of improvements for which reimbursement is sought.
All earnings or interest on the Rollover Escrow Fund shall be and become part of
such Rollover Escrow Fund and shall be disbursed as provided in this Section
7.4.
7.4.3 Letter of Credit in Lieu of Rollover Reserve Monthly Deposit.

deliver to Lender a Letter of Credit in the amount of the Rollover Reserve

(b) Borrower shall give Lender no less than thirty (30) days notice of
Borrower's election to deliver a Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 7.4.3(a)
and Borrower shall pay to Lender all of Lender's reasonable out-of-pocket costs
and expenses in connection therewith. Borrower shall not be entitled to draw
from any such Letter of Credit.
7.4.4 Reduction of Letter of Credit. In the event that, after the delivery
of a Letter of Credit in accordance with 7.4.3(a) above, Borrower shall incur
Leasing Expenses that would be eligible for a disbursement from the Rollover
Reserve Fund, Borrower may, in lieu of receiving such disbursement, reduce the
amount of such Letter of Credit by a corresponding amount. Lender agrees to
execute such agreements or amendments reasonably requested by Borrower in order
to appropriately reduce the amount of such Letter of Credit. Borrower shall not
be permitted to reduce the Letter of Credit more than one (1) time in any
three-month period.

Section 7.6 [INTENTIONALLY DELETED]
Section 7.7 Reserve Funds, Generally.
7.7.1 Borrower grants to Lender a first-priority perfected security

deposited in each Reserve Fund as additional security for payment of the Debt.
Until expended or applied in accordance herewith, the Reserve Funds shall
constitute additional security for the Debt.
7.7.2 Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender may, in addition
to any and all other rights and remedies available to Lender, apply any sums

thereto.
7.7.6 Lender shall not be liable for any loss sustained on the investment
of any funds constituting the Reserve Funds.
Section 7.8 Provisions Regarding Letters of Credit.
7.8.1 Event of Default.

(ii) replace any outstanding Letter of Credit within thirty (30) days of
Lender's notice that such Letter of Credit fails to meet the requirements set
forth in the definition of Letter of Credit. Lender shall not be required to
exercise its rights under Section 7.8.3 below in order to prevent any such Event
of Default from occurring and shall not be liable for any losses due to the
insolvency of the issuer of the Letter of Credit as a result of any failure or
delay by Lender in the exercise of such rights, but if Lender draws on the

Credit to payment of the Debt in such order, proportion or priority as Lender
may determine or to hold such proceeds as security for the Debt.

(iv) if Borrower transfers or encumbers any portion of the Property
without Lender's prior written consent or otherwise violates the provisions
of Section 5.2.13 of this Agreement;
(v) if any representation or warranty made by Borrower herein or in
any other Loan Document, or in any report, certificate, financial statement
or other instrument, agreement or document furnished to Lender shall have
been false or misleading in any material respect as of the date the
representation or warranty was made;
64
(vi) if Borrower or any guarantor under any guaranty issued in
connection with the Loan shall make an assignment for the benefit of
creditors;
(vii) if a receiver, liquidator or trustee shall be appointed for
Borrower or any guarantor under any guarantee issued in connection with the
Loan or if Borrower or such guarantor shall be adjudicated a bankrupt or
insolvent, or if any petition for bankruptcy, reorganization or arrangement
pursuant to federal bankruptcy law, or any similar federal or state law,
shall be filed by or against, consented to, or acquiesced in by, Borrower
or such guarantor, or if any proceeding for the dissolution or liquidation
of Borrower or such guarantor shall be instituted; provided, however, if
such appointment, adjudication, petition or proceeding was involuntary and
not consented to by Borrower or such guarantor, upon the same not being
discharged, stayed or dismissed within thirty (30) days;

from Lender, in the case of any Default which can be cured by the payment
of a sum of money, or for thirty (30) days after notice from Lender in the
case of any other Default; provided, however, that if such non-monetary
Default is susceptible of cure but cannot reasonably be cured within such
30-day period and provided further that Borrower shall have commenced to
cure such Default within such 30-day period and thereafter diligently and
expeditiously proceeds to cure the same, such 30-day period shall be
extended for such time as is reasonably necessary for Borrower in the
exercise of due diligence to cure such Default, such additional period not
to exceed sixty (60) days; or
(xiv) if there shall be default under any of the other Loan Documents
beyond any applicable cure periods contained in such documents, whether as
to Borrower or the Property, or if any other such event shall occur or
condition shall exist, if the effect of such event or condition is to
accelerate the maturity of any portion of the Debt or to permit Lender to
accelerate the maturity of all or any portion of the Debt;
65
(b) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and at any time thereafter
Lender may, in addition to any other rights or remedies available to it pursuant
to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or at law or in equity, take such
action, without further notice or demand, that Lender deems advisable to protect
and enforce its rights against Borrower and in and to 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
the Loan Documents against Borrower and the Property, including, without
limitation, all rights or remedies available at law or in equity; and upon any
Event of Default described in clauses (vi), (vii) or (viii) above, the Debt and
all other obligations of Borrower hereunder and under 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 any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding.
Section 8.2 Remedies.
(a) Upon the occurrence 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 or any of 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 any of the Loan Documents. Any such actions taken by
Lender shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently,
singly, successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as
Lender may determine in its sole discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by
law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of
Lender permitted by law, equity or contract or as set forth herein or in the
other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower
agrees that if an Event of Default is continuing (i) Lender is not subject to
any "one action" or "election of remedies" law or rule, and (ii) all liens and
other rights, remedies or privileges provided to Lender shall remain in full
force and effect until Lender has exhausted all of its remedies against the
Property and the Mortgage has been foreclosed, sold and/or otherwise realized
upon in satisfaction of the Debt or the Debt has been paid in full.
(b) Intentionally Omitted.
(c) Lender shall have the right from time to time to sever the Note and the
other Loan Documents into one or more separate notes, mortgages and other
security documents (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 Lender, a
severance agreement and such other documents as Lender shall request in order to
effect the severance described in the preceding sentence, all in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender. 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 Lender's intent to exercise its
66
rights under such power. Except as may be required in connection with a
securitization pursuant to Section 9.1 hereof, (i) 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
(ii) the Severed Loan Documents shall not 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.
Section 8.3 Remedies 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 or the other Loan
Documents, or existing at law or in equity or otherwise. Lender's rights, powers
and remedies may be pursued singly, 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.
IX. SPECIAL PROVISIONS
Section 9.1 Sale of Notes and Securitization.
At the request of the holder of the Note and, to the extent not already
required to be provided by Borrower under this Agreement, Borrower shall use
reasonable efforts to satisfy the market standards to which the holder of the
Note customarily adheres or which may be reasonably required in the marketplace
or by the Rating Agencies in connection with the sale of the Note or
participations therein or the first successful securitization (such sale and/or
securitization, the "Securitization") of rated single or multi-class securities
(the "Securities") secured by or evidencing ownership interests in the Note and
the Mortgage, including, without limitation, to:
(a) (i) provide such financial and other information with respect to the
Property, Borrower and the Manager, (ii) provide budgets relating to the
Property and (iii) to perform or permit or cause to be performed or permitted
such site inspection, appraisals, market studies, environmental reviews and
reports (Phase I's and, if appropriate, Phase II's), engineering reports and
other due diligence investigations of the Property, as may be reasonably
requested by the holder of the Note or the Rating Agencies or as may be
necessary or appropriate in connection with the Securitization (the "Provided
Information"), together, if customary, with appropriate verification and/or
consents of the Provided Information through letters of auditors or opinions of
counsel of independent attorneys acceptable to Lender and the Rating Agencies;
67
(b) at Borrower's expense, cause counsel to render opinions, which may be
relied upon by the holder of the Note, the Rating Agencies and their respective
counsel, agents and representatives, as to non-consolidation, fraudulent
conveyance, and true sale and/or lease or any other opinion customary in
securitization transactions, with respect to the Property and Borrower and its
affiliates which counsel and opinions shall be reasonably satisfactory to the
holder of the Note and the Rating Agencies;
(c) make such representations and warranties as of the closing date of the
Securitization with respect to the Property, Borrower, and the Loan Documents as
are customarily provided in securitization transactions and as may be reasonably
requested by the holder of the Note or the Rating Agencies and consistent with
the facts covered by such representations and warranties as they exist on the
date thereof, including the representations and warranties made in the Loan
Documents; and
(d) execute such amendments to the Loan Documents (including, without
limitation, designating a new Determination Date) and organizational documents,
enter into a lockbox or similar arrangement with respect to the Rents and
establish and fund such reserve funds (including, without limitation, reserve
funds for deferred maintenance and capital improvements) as may be requested by
the holder of the Note or the Rating Agencies or otherwise to effect the
Securitization; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be required to modify
or amend any Loan Document if such modification or amendment would (i) change
the interest rate, the stated maturity or the amortization of principal set
forth in the Note, or (ii) modify or amend any other material economic term of
the Loan.
Without limiting the generality of any of the foregoing, Lender may in
Lender's sole discretion, at any time following the date hereof, elect to (i)
bifurcate the Note into two (2) or more notes and/or split the Mortgage into two
(2) or more mortgages of the same or different priorities or otherwise as
determined by and acceptable to Lender and/or (ii) divide the Note into multiple
components corresponding to tranches of certificates to be issued in a
Securitization each having a notional balance and an interest rate determined by
Lender; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be required to modify or
amend any Loan Document if the overall effect of such modification or amendment
would (y) change the initial weighted average interest rate, the maturity or
amortization or principal set forth in the Note, or (z) modify or amend any
other material economic term of the Note or the other Loan Documents.
Section 9.2 Securitization Indemnification.
(a) Borrower understands that certain of the Provided Information may be
included in disclosure documents in connection with the Securitization,
including, without limitation, a prospectus, prospectus supplement or private
placement memorandum (each, a "Disclosure Document") and may also be included in
filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or the Securities and Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or provided or made available to
investors or prospective investors in the Securities, the Rating Agencies, and
service providers relating to the Securitization. In the event that the
Disclosure Document is required to be revised prior to the sale of all
Securities, Borrower will cooperate with the holder of the Note in updating the
Disclosure Document by providing all current information necessary to keep the
Disclosure Document accurate and complete in all material respects.
68
(b) Borrower agrees to provide in connection with each of (i) a preliminary
and a private placement memorandum or (ii) a preliminary and final prospectus or
prospectus supplement, as applicable, an indemnification certificate (A)
certifying that Borrower has carefully examined such memorandum or prospectus,
as applicable, including without limitation, the sections entitled "Special
Considerations," "Description of the Mortgages," "Description of the Mortgage
Loans and Mortgaged Property," "The Manager," "The Borrower" and "Certain Legal
Aspects of the Mortgage Loan," and such sections (and any other sections
reasonably requested) do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or
omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in
the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, (B)
indemnifying Lender (and for purposes of this Section 9.2, Lender hereunder
shall include its officers and directors) or any Affiliate of Lender ("▇▇▇▇▇▇")
that has filed the registration statement relating to the securitization (the
"Registration Statement"), each of its directors, each of its officers who have
signed the Registration Statement and each Person or entity who controls the
Affiliate within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20
of the Exchange Act (collectively, the "▇▇▇▇▇▇ Group"), and ▇▇▇▇▇▇, each of its
directors and each Person who controls ▇▇▇▇▇▇ within the meaning of Section 15
of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively, the
"Underwriter Group") for any losses, claims, damages or liabilities
(collectively, the "Liabilities") to which Lender, the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Group or the
Underwriter Group may become subject insofar as the Liabilities arise out of or
are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material
fact contained in such sections or arise out of or are based upon the omission
or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated in
such sections or necessary in order to make the statements in such sections or
in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and (C)
agreeing to reimburse Lender, the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Group and the Underwriter Group for any
legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by Lender and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ in connection
with investigating or defending the Liabilities; provided, however, that
Borrower will be liable in any such case under clauses (B) or (C) above only to
the extent that any such loss claim, damage or liability arises out of or is
based upon any such untrue statement or omission made therein in reliance upon
and in conformity with information furnished to Lender by or on behalf of
Borrower in connection with the preparation of the memorandum or prospectus or
in connection with the underwriting of the debt, including, without limitation,
financial statements of Borrower, operating statements, rent rolls,
environmental site assessment reports and property condition reports with
respect to the Property. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any
liability which Borrower may otherwise have. Moreover, the indemnification
provided for in Clauses (B) and (C) above shall be effective whether or not an
indemnification certificate described in (A) above is provided and shall be
applicable based on information previously provided by Borrower or its
Affiliates if Borrower does not provide the indemnification certificate.
(c) In connection with filings under the Exchange Act, Borrower agrees to
(i) indemnify Lender, the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Group and the Underwriter Group for Liabilities
to which Lender, the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Group or the Underwriter Group may become subject
insofar as the Liabilities arise out of or are based upon the omission or
alleged omission to state in the Provided Information a material fact required
to be stated in the Provided Information in order to make the statements in the
Provided Information, in light of the circumstances under which they were made
not misleading and (ii) reimburse Lender, the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Group or the Underwriter
Group for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by Lender, the ▇▇▇▇▇▇
Group or the Underwriter Group in connection with defending or investigating the
Liabilities.
69
(d) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 9.2
of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a
claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this
Section 9.2, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement
thereof, but the omission to so notify the indemnifying party will not relieve
the indemnifying party from any liability which the indemnifying party may have
to any indemnified party hereunder except to the extent that failure to notify
causes prejudice to the indemnifying party. In the event that any action is
brought against any indemnified party, and its 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 satisfactory to such indemnified party.
After notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party under this
Section 9.2 the indemnifying party shall be responsible for any legal or other
expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the
defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however,
if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the
indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded
that there are any legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified
parties that are different from or additional to those available to the
indemnifying party, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to
select separate counsel to assert such legal defenses and to otherwise
participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party to
parties. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses of more
than one such separate counsel unless an indemnified party shall have reasonably
concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different
from or additional to those available to another indemnified party.
(e) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in
circumstances in which the indemnity agreements provided for in Section 9.2(b)
or (c) is or are for any reason held to be unenforceable by an indemnified party
in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or action in respect
thereof) referred to therein which would otherwise be indemnifiable under
Section 9.2(b) or (c), the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount
paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims,
damages or liabilities (or action in respect thereof); provided, however, that
no Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section
11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person
who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. In determining the
amount of contribution to which the respective parties are entitled, the
following factors shall be considered: (i) ▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇ and Borrower's relative
knowledge and access to information concerning the matter with respect to which
claim was asserted; (ii) the opportunity to correct and prevent any statement or
omission; and (iii) any other equitable considerations appropriate in the
circumstances. Lender and Borrower hereby agree that it would not be equitable
if the amount of such contribution were determined by pro rata or per capita
allocation.
70
(f) The liabilities and obligations of both Borrower and Lender under this
Section 9.2 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the satisfaction
and discharge of the Debt.
Section 9.3 Intentionally Deleted.
Section 9.4 Exculpation.
Subject to the qualifications below, Lender shall not enforce the liability
and obligation of Borrower to perform and observe the obligations contained in
the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage or the other Loan Documents by any action
or proceeding wherein a money judgment shall be sought against Borrower, except
that Lender may bring a foreclosure action, an action for specific performance
or any other appropriate action or proceeding to enable Lender to enforce and
realize upon its interest under the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage and the
other Loan Documents, or in the Property, the Rents, or any other collateral
given to Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents; provided, however, that, except
as specifically provided herein, any judgment in any such action or proceeding
shall be enforceable against Borrower only to the extent of Borrower's interest
in the Property, in the Rents and in any other collateral given to Lender, and
Lender, by accepting the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage and the other Loan
Documents, agrees that it shall not ▇▇▇ for, seek or demand any deficiency
judgment against Borrower in any such action or proceeding under or by reason of

other Loan Documents. The provisions of this section shall not, however, (a)
constitute a waiver, release or impairment of any obligation evidenced or
secured by any of the Loan Documents; (b) impair the right of Lender to name
Borrower as a party defendant in any action or suit for foreclosure and sale
under the Mortgage; (c) affect the validity or enforceability of or any guaranty
made in connection with the Loan or any of the rights and remedies of Lender
thereunder; (d) impair the right of Lender to obtain the appointment of a
receiver; (e) impair the enforcement of the Assignment of Leases; (f) constitute
a prohibition against Lender to seek a deficiency judgment against Borrower, but
only to fully realize the security granted by the Mortgage or to commence any
other appropriate action or proceeding in order for Lender to exercise its
remedies against the Property; or (g) constitute a waiver of the right of Lender
to enforce the liability and obligation of Borrower, by money judgment or
otherwise, to the extent of any loss, damage, cost, expense, liability, claim or
other obligation incurred by Lender (including attorneys' fees and costs
reasonably incurred) arising out of or in connection with the following:
(i) fraud or intentional misrepresentation by Borrower or any
guarantor in connection with the Loan;
(ii) the willful misconduct of Borrower or any guarantor in connection
with the Loan;
(iii) the breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or
indemnification provision in the Environmental Indemnity or in the Mortgage
concerning environmental laws, hazardous substances and asbestos and any
indemnification of Lender with respect thereto in either document;
71
(iv) the wrongful removal or destruction of any portion of the
Property after an Event of Default that adversely affects the value of the
Property;
(v) the misapplication or conversion by Borrower of (A) any insurance
proceeds paid by reason of any loss, damage or destruction to the Property,
(B) any awards or other amounts received in connection with the
condemnation of all or a portion of the Property, or (C) any Rents
following an Event of Default;
(vi) failure to pay charges for labor or materials or other charges
that can create Liens on any portion of the Property;
(vii) any security deposits, advance deposits or any other deposits
collected with respect to the Property which are not delivered to Lender
upon a foreclosure of the Property or action in lieu thereof, except to the
extent any such security deposits were applied in accordance with the terms
and conditions of any of the Leases;
(viii) Borrower's indemnifications of Lender set forth in Section 9.2
hereof;
(ix) the first full monthly payment of principal and interest under
the Note is not paid when due;
(x) failure of Borrower to (A) permit on-site inspections of the
Property, (B) provide financial information, (C) maintain its status as a
single purpose entity or (D) appoint a new property manager upon the
request of Lender after an Event of Default, each as required by, and in
accordance with the terms and provisions of, this Agreement and the
Mortgage;
(xi) failure of Borrower to obtain Lender's prior written consent to
any subordinate financing or other voluntary Lien encumbering the Property;
or
(xii) failure of Borrower to obtain Lender's prior written consent to
any assignment, transfer, or conveyance of the Property or any interest
therein as required by the Mortgage or hereunder.
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 U.S. Bankruptcy Code to file a claim for the full amount of
the Debt secured by the Mortgage 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 any petition for bankruptcy, reorganization or arrangement pursuant to
federal bankruptcy law, or any similar federal or state law, shall be filed by
or consented to by Borrower.
Section 9.5 Termination of Manager.
If (a) an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (b) at
the Maturity Date, the Debt is not repaid in full, or (c) a default by Manager
under the Management Agreement shall have occurred and not be remedied within
any applicable grace or cure period provided therein or the Manager shall become
72
insolvent, Borrower shall, at the request of Lender, terminate the Management
Agreement and replace the Manager with a manager approved by Lender on terms and
conditions satisfactory to Lender, it being understood and agreed that the
management fee for such replacement manager shall not exceed four percent (4%)
of the gross income derived from the Property.
Section 9.6 Servicer.
At the option of Lender and at no expense to Borrower, the Loan may be
serviced by a servicer/trustee (the "Servicer") selected by Lender and Lender
may delegate all or any portion of its responsibilities under this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents to the Servicer pursuant to a servicing agreement (the
"Servicing Agreement") between Lender and Servicer.

shall on the date created equal the debt service payment which was due
under the Loan immediately prior to creation of a Mortgage Loan and a
