WHEREAS, Borrower desires to obtain a loan (the "Loan") from Lender
in the principal amount of $31,440,036.00 (the "Loan Amount");
WHEREAS, Lender is willing to make the Loan on the condition that
Borrower joins in the execution and delivery of this Agreement which shall

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the making of the Loan by
Lender, and the covenants, agreements, representations and warranties set forth
in this Agreement, the parties hereby covenant, agree, represent and warrant as
follows:

meanings assigned to them in this Article I, and include the plural as well as
the singular;
(b) all accounting terms have the meanings assigned to them in
accordance with GAAP;
7
2
(c) the words "herein", "hereof", and "hereunder" and other words of
similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular
Article, Section, or other subdivision; and
(d) the following terms have the following meanings:
"Account Collateral" has the meaning provided in Section 2.12(a).
"Accounts" has the meaning provided in the Mortgage.
"Accrued Interest" has the meaning provided in Section 2.5(d).
"Adjusted Net Operating Income" means, for any period, the Net
Operating Income for such period reduced by (i) the Capital Reserve Amount, pro
rated for the applicable period, (ii) an amount necessary to reflect a
management fee equal to four percent (4%) of Gross Revenues, (iii) an amount
necessary to reflect a minimum annual vacancy factor of five percent (5%), pro
rated for the applicable period, (iv) a normalized, annualized, expense
allowance for rollover of Leases, to the extent that the revenue from such
Leases is included in Net Operating Income for the Facility after taking into
account any adjustment pursuant to clauses (v) through (viii) hereof, which
allowance shall be calculated by Lender based upon current market rent, current
market tenant improvement costs, current market leasing commissions and a
retention assumption equal to the lesser of (a) the ratio of the number of
square feet occupied by tenants whose Leases were scheduled to expire within
three years of the date of the calculation which have not been vacated to the
number of square feet occupied by tenants whose Leases were scheduled to expire
within three years of the date of the calculation and (b) seventy percent (70%)
or such lower amount mandated by the Rating Agencies, (v) an income adjustment
for any Rent collected from temporary or month-to-month tenants, (vi) an income

based on the applicable pro rata portion of Base Adjusted NOI.

For the purposes of this Agreement, "control" when used with respect to any

payment and (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the applicable Allocated
Loan Amount (prior to the adjustment in question) and the denominator of which

Defeasance Deposit and calculated on the basis of the prior twelve (12) calendar
months) shall be greater than the greater of (x) 1.20:1 and (y) the Debt Service
Coverage Ratio (calculated on the basis of the prior twelve (12) calendar
months) for all Parcels as of the Payment Date immediately preceding the
Defeasance Release Date, and (vi) delivers to the Lender (A) a security
agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to Lender, creating a first
priority perfected Lien on the deposits required pursuant to this Section and
the U.S. Obligations purchased on behalf of Borrower in accordance with this
Section (the "Security Agreement"), (B) for execution by the Lender, a release
of each relevant Parcel from the lien of the Mortgage in a form appropriate for
each jurisdiction in which the relevant Parcel is located, (C) an Officer's
Certificate of Borrower certifying that the requirements set forth in this
Section have been satisfied including, without limitation, that no Default or
Event of Default has occurred, (D) an opinion of Borrower's counsel in form and
substance satisfactory to the Lender stating, among other things, (x) that,
without qualification, the U.S. Obligations have been duly and validly assigned
and delivered to Lender and Lender has a first priority perfected security
interest in and Lien on the deposits required pursuant to this Section and a
first priority perfected security interest in and Lien on the U.S. Obligations
purchased pursuant hereto and the Proceeds thereof, and (y) that the defeasance
will not adversely affect the status of any REMIC formed in connection with a
Securitization, and (E) such other
49
44
certificates, documents or instruments as the Lender may request including,
without limitation, (x) written confirmation from the relevant Rating Agencies
that such defeasance will not cause any Rating Agency to withdraw, qualify or
downgrade the then-applicable rating on any security issued in connection with
any Securitization and (y) a certificate from an Independent certified public
accountant certifying that the amounts of the U.S. Obligations comply with all
of the requirements of this Loan Agreement.
(e) The U.S. Obligations shall mature on or be
redeemable, or provide for payment thereon, on or prior to the Business Day
immediately preceding the date on which payments under the Note are due and
payable and the proceeds thereof shall be payable directly to the Lender. In
connection with the foregoing, Borrower appoints the Lender as Borrower's agent
for the purpose of applying the amounts delivered pursuant to clause (d)(iv)
above to purchase U.S. Obligations.
(f) If any notice of defeasance is given, Borrower
shall be required to defease the Loan (or a portion thereof if such defeasance
is a partial defeasance) on the specified Payment Date (unless such notice is
revoked in writing by Borrower prior to the date specified therein in which
event Borrower shall immediately reimburse Lender for any costs incurred by
Lender in connection with Borrower's giving of such notice and revocation).
(g) Upon compliance with the requirements of this
Section in the event of a total defeasance of the Loan, or a partial defeasance
of the Loan on a Parcel-by-Parcel basis, the relevant Mortgaged Property as to
which such defeasance has been consummated shall be released from the lien of
the Mortgage.
(h) In connection with a complete defeasance of the
Loan, with the prior written consent of Lender, which consent Lender may
withhold in its discretion, Borrower may assign to such other entity or entities
established or designated by Borrower (the "Successor Obligor") all of
Borrower's obligations under the Note, the other Loan Documents and the Security
Agreements together with the pledged U.S. Obligations. The Successor Obligor
shall assume, in a writing or writings satisfactory to Lender in Lender's
discretion, all of Borrower's obligations under the Note, the other Loan
Documents and the Security Agreements and, upon such assignment Borrower shall,
except as set forth herein, be relieved of its obligations hereunder.
50
45
(i) Nothing in this Section shall release Borrower
from any liability or obligation relating to any environmental matters arising
under Sections 4.1(V) or 5.1(D) through 5.1(I), inclusive, hereof.
(j) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth
herein or in the other Loan Documents, Borrower shall not be permitted to
defease the Loan on a Parcel-by- Parcel basis until the following conditions, in
addition to the conditions set forth above, are satisfied:
(i) Borrower shall give Lender written notice of
Borrower's intent to request release of a Parcel, which notice shall
(A) be given at least thirty (30) days prior to the Defeasance
Release Date, and (B) include (1) a current Survey of the Parcel to
be released and a Surveyor's Certification, (2) all draft
documentation purporting to convey the Parcel, which documentation
shall be in form and substance satisfactory to Lender in Lender's
reasonable discretion, (3) all information necessary to process the
request for release of the Parcel, including the name and address of
the prospective transferee, and the intended use of the Parcel to be
released and such other documents and information concerning the
release of the Parcel as Lender may reasonably request, (4) such
endorsements to the Title Insurance Policy as may be reasonably
required by Lender including, without limitation, an endorsement
insuring the continued priority of the lien of the Mortgage, subject
only to Permitted Encumbrances and (5) such insurance, construction
bonds, completion guaranties and other documentation and assurances
that Lender may reasonably require to protect the remaining Parcels
and Lender's security interest therein;
(ii) at the time of the release of the Parcel, Borrower
shall transfer and convey the Parcel being released to a Person
other than Borrower and any SPE Equity Owner;
(iii) the release of the Parcel shall not impair or
otherwise adversely affect any remaining Parcel, the value thereof,
or the use thereof as then being conducted by Borrower;
(iv) both prior to and following the release of the
Parcel, the Facility and Borrower's use thereof shall not violate
any Legal Requirements, including without limitation, state and
local zoning, land use, and subdivision laws and ordinances;
51
46
(v) the Parcel to be released shall constitute a
separate tax lot which is separately taxed from the remainder of the
Facility;
(vi) acceptable opinions relating to the release of the
Parcel shall have been delivered by Borrower to Lender and the
Rating Agencies including, without limitation, a substantive
non-consolidation opinion and an opinion that the release of the
Parcel will not constitute a "significant modification" of the Loan
within the meaning of Section 1.1001-3 of U.S. Treasury Regulations
and that the release of the Parcel will not adversely affect the
tax status of any REMIC utilized in connection with a securitization
of the Loan;
(vii) Borrower shall pay all reasonable expenses
incurred by Lender in connection with the release of the Parcel
including, without limitation, reasonable attorney's fees;
(viii) Borrower shall deliver to Lender, (A) for
execution by Lender, a release of the Parcel from the Lien of the
Mortgage in a form appropriate for recordation and (B) Officer's
Certificates on behalf of Borrower certifying that the requirements
set forth in this Section have been satisfied. If Borrower or Lender
reasonably determines that any rights and easements in addition to
the rights and easements included within the definition of Parcel
are reasonably required by Borrower, any prospective purchaser,
transferee, or lessee of all or part of the Parcel, or any person or
entity extending credit on or for the Parcel for the acquisition,
development, improvement or operation of the Parcel, Lender shall
negotiate in good faith with Borrower concerning (i) the grant of
any such additional rights and easements, and (ii) the terms and
conditions (including, without limitation, payment of a reasonable
release price) upon which such rights and easements will be granted;
and
(ix) Borrower shall deliver to Lender replacement Leases

reasonable discretion.

Section 2.11. Central Cash Management.
(a) Collection Account.
(i) Borrower shall open and maintain at the Collection Account
Bank a trust account (the "Collection Account"). Borrower may designate
a new financial institution to serve as a Collection Account Bank if
approved by Lender in Lender's reasonable discretion. If any Collection
Account Bank resigns pursuant to the terms of any Collection Account
Agreement, Borrower shall replace such Collection Account Bank with a
bank and documentation acceptable to Lender prior to the date that such
resignation becomes effective pursuant to such Collection Account
Agreement.
(ii) The Collection Account shall be assigned an
identification number by the Collection Account Bank and shall be
opened and maintained in the name "Nomura Asset Capital Corporation as
Mortgagee of Hallwood 98, L.P." Neither Borrower nor Manager shall have
any right of withdrawal from the Collection Account. The Borrower shall
instruct (a) the tenants to make all payments under the Leases payable
to the name of the Collection Account and (b) the Manager to collect
all Rents, Money and other items of Gross Revenue and within one
Business Day of receipt deposit such funds in the Collection Account;
provided, and without limiting the obligation of the Manager to collect
the Rents (other than security deposits), if Manager shall fail to
comply with Borrower's instructions, Borrower shall collect all Rents
(other than security deposits) and shall endorse all checks and deposit
all such funds and any other Rents (other than security deposits),
Money or other items of Gross Revenue, within one Business Day after
receipt thereof, directly into the Collection Account. The Collection
Account Bank will transfer funds deposited in the Collection Account as
set forth in Section 2(j) of the Collection Account Agreement.
(iii) Any breach of this Section by Borrower shall be an Event
of Default.
(b) Payments. Prior to the occurrence of a Cash Management Event,
Borrower shall pay to Lender or Lender's designee on or prior to each Payment
Date, the Required Debt Service Payment for such Payment Date, the Basic
Carrying Costs Monthly Installment for the Interest Accrual Period immediately
preceding such Payment Date and the Capital Reserve Monthly Installment for the
Interest Accrual Period immediately preceding such
53
48
Payment Date, and the Tenant Rollover Monthly Installment for the Interest
Accrual Period immediately preceding such Payment Date. Lender shall transfer
all such payments to an Eligible Account established by Lender or Lender's
designee (the "Cash Collateral Account"). After the occurrence of a Cash
Management Event, pursuant to the Collection Account Agreement among the
Collection Account Bank, Borrower and Lender (the "Collection Account
Agreement"), Lender will authorize and direct the Collection Account Bank to
transfer on a daily basis all funds deposited in the Collection Account to the
Cash Collateral Account. The Cash Collateral Account shall be under the sole
dominion and control of Lender. Borrower shall have no right of withdrawal in
respect to the Cash Collateral Account.
(c) Establishment of Sub-Accounts. The Cash Collateral Account
shall contain a Debt Service Payment Sub-Account, a Basic Carrying Costs
Sub-Account, a Capital Reserve Sub-Account, a Fleet Reserve Sub-Account, a
Securitization Expense Sub-Account, a Tenant Rollover Sub-Account and an
Operating Expense Sub-Account, each of which sub- accounts may be ledger or book
entry accounts and need not be actual accounts (individually, a "Sub-Account"
and collectively, the "Sub-Accounts") and each of which shall be an Eligible
Account to which certain funds shall be allocated and from which disbursements
shall be made pursuant to the terms of this Loan Agreement.
(d) Permitted Investments. Upon the written request of Borrower,
which request may be made once per Interest Accrual Period, Lender shall direct
the Cash Collateral Account Bank to invest and reinvest any balance in the Cash
Collateral Account from time to time in Permitted Investments as instructed by
Borrower; provided, however, that: (i) if Borrower fails to so instruct Lender,
or if a Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing,
Lender may direct the Cash Collateral Account Bank to invest and reinvest such
balance in Permitted Investments as Lender shall determine in Lender's
discretion; (ii) the maturities of the Permitted Investments on deposit in the
Cash Collateral Account shall, to the extent such dates are ascertainable, be
selected and coordinated to become due not later than the day before any
disbursements from the Sub-Accounts must be made; (iii) all such Permitted
Investments shall be held in the name and be under the sole dominion and control
of Lender; (iv) no Permitted Investment shall be made unless Lender shall retain
a first priority perfected Lien in such Permitted Investment and all filings and
other actions necessary to ensure the validity, perfection, and priority of such
Lien have been taken; (v) Lender shall only be required to follow the written
investment instructions which were most recently
54
49
received by Lender and Borrower shall be bound by such last received investment
instructions; and (vi) any request from Borrower containing investment
instructions shall contain an Officer's Certificate from Borrower (which may be
conclusively relied upon by Lender and its agents) that any such investments
constitute Permitted Investments. It is the intention of the parties hereto that
all amounts deposited in the Cash Collateral Account shall at all times be
invested in Permitted Investments. All funds in the Cash Collateral Account that
are invested in a Permitted Investment are deemed to be held in such Cash
Collateral Account for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents. Lender shall have no liability for any loss in investments of funds
in the Cash Collateral Account that are invested in Permitted Investments
(unless invested contrary to Borrower's request other than after the occurrence
of a Default or an Event of Default) and no such loss shall affect Borrower's
obligation to fund, or liability for funding, the Cash Collateral Account and
each Sub-Account, as the case may be. Borrower and Lender agree that Borrower
shall include all such earnings and losses (other than those for Lender's
account in accordance with immediately preceding sentence) on the Cash
Collateral Account as income of Borrower for federal and applicable state tax
purposes. Borrower shall be responsible for any and all fees, costs and
expenses with respect to Permitted Investments.
(e) Interest on Accounts. All interest paid or other earnings on
the Permitted Investments made hereunder shall be income of Borrower and shall
be deposited into the Cash Collateral Account and shall be subject to allocation
and distribution like any other monies deposited therein.
(f) Payment of Basic Carrying Costs, Debt Service, Capital
Improvement Costs, Securitization Expenses, Tenant Rollover Costs, Operating
Expenses and Release of Fleet Reserve Sub-Account.
(i) Payment of Basic Carrying Costs.
(x) At least five (5) Business Days prior to the due date of any
Basic Carrying Cost payment, Borrower shall notify Lender in writing and request
that Lender make such Basic Carrying Cost payment on behalf of Borrower on or
prior to the due date thereof or reimburse Borrower to the extent such Basic
Carrying Cost was paid by, or on behalf of, Borrower. Together with each such
request, Borrower shall furnish Lender with copies of bills and other
documentation as may be reasonably required by Lender to establish that such
Basic Carrying Cost payment is then due or has been paid.
55
50
Lender shall be entitled to conclusively rely on all bills or other
documentation received from Borrower, in each case without independent
investigation or verification. If Lender is making such payments on behalf of
Borrower, Lender shall make such payments out of the Basic Carrying Cost
Sub-Account before the same shall be delinquent to the extent that there are
funds available in the Basic Carrying Cost Sub-Account and Lender has received
appropriate documentation to establish the amount(s) due and the due date(s) as
and when provided above.
(y) Except to the extent that Lender is obligated to pay Basic
Carrying Costs from the Basic Carrying Costs Sub-Account pursuant to the terms
of this Section, Borrower shall pay all Basic Carrying Costs with respect to
itself and the Facility in accordance with the provisions of the Mortgage.
Borrower's obligation to pay (or enable Lender to pay) Basic Carrying Costs
pursuant to this Agreement shall include, to the extent permitted by applicable
law, Impositions resulting from future changes in law which impose upon Lender
or any Deed of Trust Trustee an obligation to pay any property taxes or other
Impositions or which otherwise adversely affect Lender's or the Deed of Trust
Trustee's interests. (In the event such a change in law prohibits Borrower from
assuming liability for payment of any such Imposition, the outstanding
Indebtedness shall, at the option of Lender, become due and payable on the date
that is one hundred twenty (120) days after such change in law; and failure to
pay such amounts on the date due shall be an Event of Default.) If an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, the proceeds on deposit in the Basic
Carrying Costs Sub-Account may be applied by Lender in any manner as Lender in
its discretion may determine.
(ii) Payment of Debt Service. At or before 12:00 noon, New York
City time, on each Payment Date during the term of the Loan, Lender shall
transfer to Lender's own account from the Debt Service Payment Sub-Account
an amount equal to the Required Debt Service Payment for the applicable
Payment Date. Borrower shall be deemed to have timely made the Required
Debt Service Payment pursuant to Section 2.8 regardless of the time Lender
makes such transfer as long as sufficient funds are on deposit in the Debt
Service Payment Sub-Account at 12:00 noon, New York City time on the
applicable Payment Date.
(iii) Payment of Capital Improvement Costs. Not more frequently
than twice each Interest Accrual Period, and provided that no Default or
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower may notify Lender
in writing and request that Lender release to Borrower or its designee
funds from the
56
51
Capital Reserve Sub-Account, to the extent funds are available therein, for
payment of Capital Improvement Costs. Together with each such request,
Borrower shall furnish Lender with copies of bills and other documentation
as may be reasonably required by Lender to establish that such Capital
Improvement Costs are reasonable, that the work relating thereto has been
completed and that such amounts are then due or have been paid. Lender
shall approve or disapprove such request within ten (10) Business Days
after Lender's receipt of such request and, if Lender fails to approve or
disapprove such request within such period, Lender shall be deemed to have
approved such request. If the request is approved or deemed approved,
Lender shall release the funds to Borrower or Borrower's designee within
ten (10) Business Days after Lender's approval or deemed approval.
(iv) Payment of Tenant Rollover Costs. Not more frequently than
twice each Interest Accrual Period, and provided that no Default or Event
of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower may notify Lender in
writing and request that Lender release to Borrower or its designee funds
from the Tenant Rollover Sub-Account, to the extent funds are available
therein for payment of costs and expenses in connection with any tenant
rollovers, including tenant improvements, leasing commissions and down
time. Together with each such request, Borrower shall furnish Lender with
copies of bills and other documentation as may be reasonably required by
Lender to establish that such costs are reasonable, that the work relating
thereto has been completed and that such amounts are then due or have been
paid. Lender shall approve or disapprove such request within ten (10)
Business Days after Lender's receipt of such request and, if Lender fails
to approve or disapprove such request within such period, Lender shall be
deemed to have approved such request. If the request is approved or deemed
approved, Lender shall release the funds to Borrower or Borrower's designee
within ten (10) Business Days after Lender's approval or deemed approval.
(v) Release of Fleet Reserve Sub-Account. Not more than once each
Interest Accrual Period after any space in the Facility currently leased to
Fleet is re-leased such that fifty percent (50%) or more of the Rents
generated from the Fleet Lease immediately prior to its termination are
replaced, and provided that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and
is continuing, Borrower may notify Lender in writing and request that
Lender release to
57
52
Borrower or its designee a portion of the funds from the Fleet Reserve
Sub-Account. Together with each such request, Borrower shall furnish Lender
with copies of the relevant Lease or Leases to establish that such Rents
(on an annualized basis) have been replaced. Lender shall approve or
disapprove such request in its reasonable discretion within ten (10)
Business Days after Lender's receipt of such request and, if Lender fails
to approve or disapprove such request in its reasonable discretion within
such period, Lender shall be deemed to have approved such request. If the
request is approved or deemed approved, Lender shall release the funds to
Borrower or Borrower's designee within ten (10) Business Days after
Lender's approval or deemed approval. The amount in the Fleet Reserve
Sub-Account to be released to Borrower pursuant to this Section will be an
amount equal to the product of (i) $500,000 and (ii) a fraction no greater
than one, the numerator of which is the Rents (on an annualized basis and
which have not been included in any prior releases of funds pursuant
hereto) that have been replaced by tenants occupying the Fleet space and
the denominator of which is $588,077 (the annual amount of Rent paid by
Fleet). After so much space in the Facility currently leased to Fleet is
re-leased such that all $588,077 of the annual Rent generated from the
Fleet Lease is replaced, and provided that no Default or Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing, the balance in the Fleet Reserve
Sub-Account, if any, shall be released to Borrower within ten (10) Business
Days of Borrower's delivery of written notice and satisfactory evidence of
such Rent replacement to Lender.
(vi) Payment of Securitization Expenses. To the extent funds are
available therein to pay the amounts for which Borrower is responsible
pursuant to Section 2.13, Lender may release funds out of the
Securitization Expense Sub-Account to (a) pay such amounts or, (b) after
Lender has paid all of the amounts for which Borrower is responsible
pursuant to Section 2.13, provided no Default or Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, refund to Borrower all amounts remaining in the
Securitization Expense Sub-Account.
(vii) Payment of Operating Expenses. On and after the Optional
Prepayment Date, not more frequently than once each Interest Accrual Period
and provided that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, Lender shall direct the Cash Collateral Account Bank to, within
five (5) Business Days after Lender's receipt of an Operating Expense
Certificate from Borrower, such Operating Expense Certificate to be
delivered by Borrower not more
58
53
frequently than once each Interest Accrual Period, transfer funds to
Borrower or its designee from the Operating Expense Sub-Account, to the
extent that there are funds available therein, in an amount not to exceed
the amount stated in the Operating Expense Certificate up to the Operating
Expense Monthly Installment. Together with each such Operating Expense
Certificate, Borrower shall furnish Lender with an Officer's Certificate
stating that all operating expenses from previous periods have been paid in
full and that such amounts being requested are then due or have been paid.
(viii) Extra Funds for Operating Expenses. On and after the Optional
Prepayment Date, not more frequently than once each Interest Accrual Period
and provided that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, if in a given Interest Accrual Period, Borrower requires
amounts in excess of the Operating Expense Monthly Installment (such excess
amounts, "Extra Funds"), Borrower, at the time it delivers the Operating
Expense Certificate, may deliver a written request to Lender for a
disbursement of Extra Funds stating the amount of such Extra Funds and the
purpose for such amount, together with copies of bills and other
documentation as may be required by Lender to establish that such Extra
Funds operating expenses are reasonable and that such amounts are then due
or expected to become due in that month. Lender shall approve or disapprove
such request within ten (10) Business Days after Lender's receipt of such
request and, if Lender fails to approve or disapprove such request within
such period, Lender shall be deemed to have approved such request. If such
request is approved or deemed approved, Lender shall release the Extra
Funds to Borrower or its designee within ten (10) Business Days after
Lender's approval or deemed approval.
(ix) Reconciliation. Borrower shall furnish Lender monthly, on each
Payment Date on and after the Optional Prepayment Date, a budget variance
report reconciling the Operating Expenses shown on the Annual Operating
Budget with requested disbursements for payment of Operating Expenses
pursuant to Section 2.11(f).
(g) Monthly Funding of Sub-Accounts. During each Interest Accrual
Period and, except as provided below, during the term of the Loan commencing
with the Interest Accrual Period in which the Closing Date occurs (each, the
"Current Interest Accrual Period"), Lender shall allocate all funds then on
deposit (irrespective of
59
54
whether such funds were transferred by the Collection Account Bank to the Cash
Collateral Account Bank or by Borrower to Lender pursuant to Section 2.8(c)) in
the Cash Collateral Account among the Sub-Accounts as follows and in the
following priority:
(i) first, to the Basic Carrying Costs Sub-Account, until
an amount equal to the Basic Carrying Costs Monthly Installment for the
Current Interest Accrual Period has been allocated to the Basic
Carrying Costs Sub-Account;
(ii) second, to the Debt Service Payment Sub-Account, until
an amount equal to the Required Base Debt Service Payment for the
Payment Date immediately after the Current Interest Accrual Period has
been allocated to the Debt Service Payment Sub-Account;
(iii) third, to the Capital Reserve Sub-Account, until an
amount equal to the Capital Reserve Monthly Installment for the Current
Interest Accrual Period has been allocated to the Capital Reserve
Sub-Account;
(iv) fourth, to the Securitization Expense Sub-Account;
provided, however, that only the Initial Securitization Expense Amount
shall be allocated to the Securitization Sub-Account;
(v) fifth, to the Fleet Reserve Sub-Account; provided,
however, that only the Initial Fleet Reserve Amount shall be allocated
to the Fleet Reserve Sub-Account;
(vi) sixth, to the Tenant Rollover Expense Sub-Account until
an amount equal to the Tenant Rollover Monthly Installment for the
Current Interest Accrual Period has been allocated to the Tenant
Rollover Sub-Account;
(vii) seventh, on and after the Optional Prepayment Date, or
at Lender's election, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, any
date on or after the occurrence of such Event of Default, to the
Operating Expense Sub-Account, until an amount equal to the Operating
Expense Monthly Installment for the Current Interest Accrual Period has
been allocated to the Operating Expense Sub-Account; and
60
55
(viii) eighth, provided that (i) no Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing and (ii) Lender has received all financial
information described in Section 5.1(Q) for the most recent periods for
which the same are due, Lender agrees that in each Current Interest
Accrual Period any amounts deposited into or remaining in the Cash
Collateral Account after (A) the minimum amounts set forth in clauses
(i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi) and (vii) above have been satisfied
with respect to the Current Interest Accrual Period and any periods
prior thereto and (B) the funding of additional reserves at levels
determined by Borrower to be prudent for working capital, Capital
Improvement Costs and other Borrower costs, which levels shall be
satisfactory to Lender, in Lender's discretion, shall be disbursed by
Lender on the first Payment Date after the end of the then Current
Interest Accrual Period, at Borrower's expense, to such account that
Borrower may request in writing. Lender and its agents shall not be
responsible for monitoring Borrower's use of any funds disbursed from
the Cash Collateral Account or any of the Sub-Accounts. Notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary, on and after the Optional
Prepayment Date, any amounts deposited into or remaining in the Cash
Collateral Account after (A) the minimum amounts set forth in clauses
(i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi) and (vii) above have been satisfied
with respect to the Current Interest Accrual Period and any periods
prior thereto and (B) the funding of additional reserves at levels
determined by Borrower to be prudent for working capital, Capital
Improvement Costs and other Borrower costs, which levels shall be
satisfactory to Lender, in Lender's discretion (such remaining amounts,
the "Excess Cash Flow"), shall be allocated to the Debt Service
Sub-Account and be applied by Lender on each Payment Date in accordance
with Section 2.7 and shall not be disbursed to Borrower; and further
provided, however, that if an Event of Default has occurred any amounts
deposited into or remaining in the Cash Collateral Account shall be
for the account of Lender and may be withdrawn by Lender to be applied
in any manner as Lender may elect in Lender's discretion.
If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or if on
any Payment Date the balance in any Sub-Account is insufficient to make the
required payment due from such Sub- Account, Lender may, in its sole discretion,
in addition to any other rights and remedies available hereunder, withdraw funds
from any other Sub-Account to pay such deficiency. If Lender elects to apply
funds of any such Sub-Account to pay any Required Base Debt Service Payment,
Borrower shall, upon demand, repay to Lender the amount of such withdrawn funds
to replenish such Sub-Account, and if Borrower
61
56
shall fail to repay such amounts within one (1) Business Day after notice of
such withdrawal, an Event of Default shall exist hereunder. Notwithstanding
anything contained herein to the contrary, on the Closing Date Borrower shall
deposit (i) the Initial Basic Carrying Costs Amount into the Basic Carrying
Costs Sub-Account, (ii) the Initial Capital Reserve Amount into the Capital
Reserve Sub-Account, (iii) the Initial Tenant Rollover Reserve Amount into the
Tenant Rollover Sub-Account and (iv) the Initial Fleet Reserve Amount into the
Fleet Reserve Sub-Account.
(h) Termination of Central Cash Management. The obligations of
Borrower under Section 2.11 and Section 2.12 to maintain and fund the Collection
Account and the Cash Collateral Account shall terminate in their entirety and be
of no further force or effect upon the satisfaction of all of the following
conditions: (i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred; (ii) the
total defeasance of the Loan in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents; (iii) the release of the Mortgage by Lender in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents;
and (iv) Borrower's receipt of Lender's written acknowledgement that the
conditions described in (i), (ii) and (iii) above have been satisfied to
Lender's satisfaction.
Section 2.12 Security Agreement.
(a) Pledge of Accounts. To secure the full and punctual payment and
performance of all of the Indebtedness, Borrower hereby sells, assigns, conveys,
pledges and transfers to Lender and grants to Lender a first and continuing Lien

existing or hereafter acquired or arising and regardless of where located
(collectively, the "Account Collateral"):
(i) all of Borrower's right, title and interest in the Cash
Collateral Account (including all Sub-Accounts) and all Money and Permitted
Investments, if any, from time to time deposited or held in the Cash Collateral
Account;
(ii) all of Borrower's right, title and interest in the
Collection Account and all Money, if any, from time to time deposited or held

property from time to time received, receivable or otherwise payable in respect
of, or in exchange for, any of the foregoing; and
(iv) to the extent not covered by clauses (i), (ii), or (iii)

(b) Covenants. Borrower covenants that (i) all Rents, Money and
other items of Gross Revenue shall be deposited into the Collection Account in
accordance with Section 2.11(a), and (ii) so long as any portion of the
Indebtedness is outstanding, Borrower shall not open (nor permit Manager or any
Person to open) any other account for the collection of Rents, Money or other
items of Gross Revenue, other than a replacement Collection Account approved by
Lender in Lender's discretion.
(c) Instructions and Agreements. On or before the Closing Date,
Borrower will submit to the Collection Account Bank for the Facility a
Collection Account Agreement to be executed by the Collection Account Bank.
(d) Financing Statements; Further Assurances. Borrower will execute
and deliver to Lender for filing a financing statement or statements in
connection with the Account Collateral in the form required to properly perfect
Lender's security interest in the Account Collateral to the extent that it may
be perfected by such a filing. Borrower agrees that at any time and from time to
time, at the expense of Borrower, Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver
all further instruments, and take all further action, that Lender may reasonably
request, in order to perfect and protect the pledge, security interest and Lien
granted or purported to be granted hereby, or to enable Lender to exercise and
enforce Lender's rights and remedies hereunder with respect to, the Account
Collateral.
(e) Transfers and Other Liens. Borrower agrees that it will not

to the terms hereof and of the other Loan Documents, or create or permit to
exist any Lien upon or with respect to all or any of the Account Collateral,
except for the Lien granted to Lender under this Agreement.
(f) Lender's Reasonable Care. Beyond the exercise of reasonable
care in the custody thereof, Lender shall not have any duty as to any Account
Collateral or any
63
58
income thereon in Lender's possession or control or in the possession or control
of any agents for, or of Lender, or the preservation of rights against any
Person or otherwise with respect thereto. Lender shall be deemed to have
exercised reasonable care in the custody of the Account Collateral in Lender's
possession if the Account Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal
to that which Lender accords Lender's own property, it being understood that
Lender shall not be liable or responsible for (i) any loss or damage to any of
the Account Collateral, or for any diminution in value thereof from a loss of,
or delay in Lender's acknowledging receipt of, any wire transfer from the
Collection Account Bank or (ii) any loss, damage or diminution in value by
reason of the act or omission of Lender, or Lender's agents, employees or
bailees, except to the extent that such loss or damage or diminution in value
results from Lender's gross negligence or willful misconduct or the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of any such agent, employee or bailee of
Lender.

constitutes and appoints Lender as Borrower's true and lawful attorney-in-fact,

acknowledge and deliver any instruments and to exercise and enforce every right,
power, remedy, option and privilege of Borrower with respect to the Account
Collateral, and do in the name, place and stead of Borrower, all such acts,
things and deeds for and on behalf of and in the name of Borrower with respect
to the Account Collateral, which Borrower could or might do or which Lender may
deem necessary or desirable to more fully vest in Lender the rights and remedies
provided for herein with respect to the Account Collateral and to accomplish the
purposes of this Agreement. The foregoing powers of attorney are irrevocable and
coupled with an interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender shall not be
entitled to exercise the foregoing power of attorney until the occurrence of an
Event of Default and the continuation thereof.
(h) Continuing Security Interest; Termination. This Section shall
create a continuing pledge of, Lien on and security interest in the Account
Collateral and shall remain in full force and effect until payment in full of
the Indebtedness. Upon payment in full of the Indebtedness, Borrower shall be
entitled to the return, upon Borrower's written request and at Borrower's
expense, of such of the Account Collateral as shall not have been sold or
otherwise applied pursuant to the terms hereof, and Lender shall execute such
instruments and documents as may be reasonably requested by Borrower in writing
to evidence such termination and the release of the pledge and Lien hereof,
64
59
provided, however, that Borrower shall pay on demand all of Lender's expenses in
connection therewith.
Section 2.13. Securitization. Borrower hereby acknowledges that
Lender, its successors or assigns, may sell or securitize the Loan or portions
thereof in one or more transactions through the issuance of securities, which
securities may be rated by the Rating Agencies (each, a "Securitization"; and
collectively, the "Securitizations"). Borrower agrees that it shall cooperate
with Lender and use Borrower's best efforts to facilitate the consummation of
each Securitization including, without limitation, by: (i) amending or causing
the amendment of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (provided that such
amendments shall not materially increase Borrower's obligations hereunder or
thereunder), and executing such additional documents, instruments and agreements
including amendments to Borrower's organizational documents and preparing
financial statements as requested by the Rating Agencies to conform the terms of
the Loan to the terms of similar loans underlying completed or pending
securitized transactions having or seeking ratings similar to those then being
sought in connection with the relevant Securitization; (ii) promptly and
reasonably providing such information as may be requested in connection with the
preparation of a private placement memorandum, prospectus or a registration
statement required to privately place or publicly distribute the securities in a
manner which does not conflict with federal or state securities laws; (iii)
providing in connection with each of (a) a preliminary and a private placement
memorandum or (b) a preliminary and final prospectus, as applicable, an
indemnification certificate (x) certifying that Borrower has carefully examined
such private placement memorandum, prospectus or registration statement, as
applicable, including, without limitation, the sections entitled "Special
Considerations," "Description of the Mortgage Loan," "The Underlying Mortgaged
Property," "The Manager," "Borrower" and "Certain Legal Aspects of the Mortgage
Loan," and such sections (and any other sections requested) insofar as they
relate to Borrower, its Affiliates, the Loan or the Facility 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; provided, however, that Borrower shall not
be required to indemnify Lender for any losses relating to untrue statements or
omissions which Borrower identified to Lender in writing at the time of
Borrower's examination of such memorandum or prospectus, as applicable, and (y)
indemnifying each Indemnified Party, the Issuer and the Advisor for any losses,
claims, damages, costs, expenses or liabilities (including, without limitation,
all liabilities under all applicable federal and state securities laws)
(collectively, the
65
60
"Liabilities") to which any of them may become subject (i) insofar as the
Liabilities arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement of any material fact relating to Borrower, its Affiliates, the
Loan, the Facility, the Manager or any aspect of the subject financing 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, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading or (ii) as a result of
any untrue statement of material fact in any of the financial statements of
Borrower incorporated into any placement memorandum, prospectus, registration
statement or other document connected with the issuance of securities or the
failure to include in such financial statements or in any placement memorandum,
prospectus, registration statement or other document connected with the issuance
of securities any material fact relating to Borrower, its Affiliates, the
Facility, the Loan, the Manager and any aspect of the subject financing
necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances
under which they were made, not misleading; and (z) agreeing to reimburse
Lender, the Issuer and the Advisor for any legal or other expenses reasonably
incurred by Lender, the Issuer and the Advisor in connection with investigating
or defending the Liabilities; (iv) causing to be rendered such customary opinion
letters as shall be requested by the Rating Agencies for other securitizations
having or seeking ratings comparable to that then being sought for the relevant
Securitization; (v) making such representations, warranties and covenants, as
may be reasonably requested by the Rating Agencies and comparable to those
required in other securitized transactions having or seeking the same rating as
is then being sought for the Securitization; (vi) providing such information
regarding the Collateral as may be reasonably requested by the Rating Agencies
or otherwise reasonably required in connection with the formation of a REMIC;
and (vii) providing any other information and materials required in the
Securitization. Subject to Lender's application of funds in the Securitization
Expense Sub-Account, Borrower agrees to pay on the Securitization Closing Date
and, if earlier, within thirty (30) days after the incurrence thereof, upon
demand, all reasonable out-of-pocket costs of Lender (and not previously
reimbursed by Borrower) in connection with the Securitization (or any attempt to
securitize the Loan), including, without limitation, the cost of preparing a
private placement memorandum, prospectus or registration statement, Rating
Agency fees and expenses (including ongoing surveillance fees), legal fees and
disbursements (including, without limitation, in connection with the rendering
of legal opinions), third party due diligence expenses, including, without
limitation, appraisals, engineering reports and environmental reports, the fees
and expenses of any trustee, servicer or special servicer, including any ongoing
servicing or special servicing fees, and the cost of market
66
61
studies and SEC filing fees (collectively, "Securitization Costs"), provided,
however, that Borrower's liability for Securitization Costs shall not exceed the
Initial Securitization Expense Amount. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the
Lender may, at any time on or after the Closing Date, assign its duties, rights
or obligations hereunder or under any Loan Document in whole, or in part, to a
servicer and/or a trustee in Lender's discretion. Nothing herein shall in any
way limit Lender's right to sell all or a portion of the Loan in a transaction
which is not a Securitization.

contained herein or therein not misleading. There is no fact

the violation of which is reasonably likely to have a Material
Adverse Effect.

delivery of this Agreement, will not, constitute unreasonably
small capital to carry out its business as conducted or as
proposed to be conducted. Borrower does not intend to, and does
not believe that it will, incur debts and liabilities (including,
without limitation, Contingent Obligations and other commitments)
beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature (taking into

free and clear of all Liens, other than the Permitted Encumbrances
applicable to the Facility. There are no outstanding options to

manner or (ii) the use of Borrower's Facility for the use currently
being made thereof, the operation of the Facility as currently
being operated or the value of the Facility.

adequate rights of access to public ways and is served by adequate
water, sewer, sanitary sewer and storm drain facilities as are

purpose. Except as otherwise disclosed by the Surveys, all public
utilities necessary to the continued use and enjoyment of the
Facility as presently used and enjoyed are located in the public
right-of-way abutting the premises, and all such
77
72
utilities are connected so as to serve the Facility either (i)
without passing over other property or, (ii) if such utilities pass

by any Governmental Authority, citizens group, employee or other
Person with respect to any alleged failure by Borrower, or the
Facility to have any environmental, health or safety permit,
license or other authorization required under, or to otherwise
comply with, any Environmental Law or with respect to any alleged
liability of Borrower for any Use or Release of any Hazardous
Substances or the presence, Use, or Release of any Hazardous
Substances at, on, in, under, or from any Facility.
(iii) To the knowledge of Borrower after due inquiry,
there have been and are no past or present Releases or threats of
Release of any Hazardous Substance that are likely to form the
basis of any Environmental Claim against Borrower, the Facility or,
to Borrower's knowledge, against any Person whose
78
73
liability for any Environmental Claim Borrower has or may have
retained or assumed either contractually or by operation of law.
(iv) To the knowledge of Borrower after due inquiry
and except as disclosed in the Environmental Reports, without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, there is not present at,
on, in or under the Facility, PCB-containing equipment, asbestos or
asbestos containing materials, underground or aboveground storage
tanks or surface impoundments for Hazardous Substances, lead in
drinking water (except in concentrations that comply with all
Environmental Laws), or lead-based paint (nor have there been any
underground storage tanks present at, on, in, or under the
Facility).
(v) No Liens are presently recorded with the
appropriate land records under or pursuant to any Environmental Law
with respect to Borrower's Facility and, to Borrower's knowledge,
no Governmental Authority has been taking or is in the process of
taking any action that could subject the Facility to Liens under
any Environmental Law.
(vi) There have been no environmental investigations,
studies, audits, reviews or other analyses conducted by or on
behalf of Borrower that are in the possession or control of
Borrower in relation to the Facility which have not been provided
to Lender.
(vii) No conditions exist which would require Borrower
under any Environmental Laws to place a notice on any deed to the
Facility with respect to the presence, Use or Release of Hazardous
Substances at, on, in, under or from the Facility and the Facility
has no such notice in its deed.
(W) No Joint Assessment; Separate Lots. Borrower has not
and shall not suffer, permit or initiate the joint assessment
of the Facility (i) with any other real property constituting a
separate tax lot, and (ii) with any portion of the Facility 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 Facility as a single lien. The Facility is comprised of one or
more Parcels, each of which constitutes a separate tax lot and none
of which constitutes a portion of any other tax lot.
79
74
(X) Assessments. Except as disclosed in the Title Insurance
Policy, there are no pending or, to the knowledge of Borrower,
proposed special or other assessments for public improvements or
otherwise affecting the Facility, nor, to the knowledge of
Borrower, are there any contemplated improvements to the Facility
that may result in such special or other assessments.
(Y) Mortgage and Other Liens. The Mortgage creates a
valid and enforceable first mortgage Lien on the Facility as
security for the repayment of the Indebtedness, subject only to the
Permitted Encumbrances. Each Collateral Security Instrument
establishes and creates a valid, effective, and enforceable Lien on
and a security interest in, or claim to, the rights and property
described therein. All property covered by such Collateral Security
Instrument is subject to a UCC financing statement filed and/or
recorded, as appropriate, or irrevocably delivered to an authorized
agent of the Title Insurer for such recordation or filing in all
places necessary to perfect a valid first priority Lien with
respect to the rights and property that are the subject of such
Collateral Security Instrument to the extent governed by the UCC.
All continuations and any assignments of any such financing
statements have been or will be timely filed or refiled, as
appropriate, in the appropriate recording offices.
(Z) Enforceability. The Loan Documents executed by Borrower
in connection with the Loan, including, without limitation, any
Collateral Security Instrument, are the legal, valid and binding
obligations of Borrower, enforceable against Borrower in accordance
with their terms, subject only to bankruptcy, insolvency and other
limitations on creditors' rights generally and to equitable
principles. Such Loan Documents are, as of the Closing Date, not
subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or
defense by Borrower, including the defense of usury, nor will the
operation of any of the terms of the Note, the Mortgage, or such
other Loan Documents, or the exercise of any right thereunder,
render the Mortgage unenforceable against Borrower, in whole or in
part, or subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim
or defense by Borrower, including the defense of usury, and
Borrower has not asserted any right of rescission, set-off,
counterclaim or defense with respect thereto.
(AA) No Liabilities. Borrower has no liabilities or
obligations including, without limitation, Contingent Obligations
(and including, without limitation, liabilities or obligations in
tort, in contract, at law, in equity, pursuant to a statute
80
75

Lender is the assignee of Borrower's interest under the Leases, and
(ii) there are no prior assignments of the Leases or any portion of
the Rents due and payable or to become due and payable which are
presently outstanding.
(AC) Certificate of Occupancy. Borrower has obtained
(in its own name) all Permits necessary to use and operate the
Facility for the use described in Section 3.1(R), and all such
Permits are in full force and effect. The use being made of the
Facility is in conformity in all respects with the certificate of
occupancy and/or Permits for the Facility and any other
restrictions, covenants or conditions affecting the Facility. The
Facility contains all Equipment necessary to use and operate the
Facility in a manner consistent with comparable properties in the
same geographic area.
(AD) Flood Zone. Except as shown on the Survey, the
Facility is not located in a flood hazard area as designated by
the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
(AE) Physical Condition. Except as disclosed in the
Engineering Reports, the Facility is free of material structural
defects and all building systems contained therein are in good
working order in all material respects subject to ordinary wear
and tear.
(AF) Intellectual Property. All trademarks, trade names and
service marks that Borrower owns or has pending, or under which
Borrower is licensed, are in good standing and uncontested. There
is no right under any trademark, trade name or service ▇▇▇▇
necessary to the business of Borrower as presently conducted or as
Borrower contemplates conducting its business. Borrower has not
infringed, is not infringing, and has not received notice of
infringement with respect to asserted trademarks, trade names and
service marks of others. To Borrower's knowledge, there is no
infringement by others of trademarks, trade names and service marks
of Borrower.
81

(AG) Security Deposits. All security deposits with
respect to the Facility on the Closing Date are held in compliance
with all applicable Legal Requirements relating to such security
deposits.
(AH) Conduct of Business. Borrower does not conduct its
business "also known as," "doing business as" or under any name
other than "Executive Park."
(AI) Title Insurance. The Facility is covered by either an
American Land Title Association (ALTA) mortgagee's title
insurance policy, or a commitment to issue such a title insurance
policy, insuring a valid first lien on the Facility, which is in
full force and effect and inures to the benefit of Lender and any
successor or assignee of Lender, including but not limited to the
trustee in a Securitization, subject only to the Permitted
Encumbrances.
(AJ) Tax Fair Market Value. The Loan Amount with respect to
the Facility does not exceed the Tax Fair Market Value of the
Facility. If a Note with respect to the Facility is significantly
modified prior to the closing date of a Securitization so as to
result in a taxable exchange under Code Section 1001, Borrower
will, if requested by Lender, represent that the amount of such
Note does not exceed the Tax Fair Market Value of the Facility as
of the date of such significant modification.

lessor's interest in the Leases; (b) the Leases are the valid,
binding and enforceable obligations of Borrower and the applicable
tenant or lessee thereunder; (c) the terms of the Leases reflected

contains an option to purchase, right of first refusal to purchase,
or any other similar provision; (h) no Person has any possessory
interest in, or right to occupy, the Facility except under and

Governmental Authorities, each Lease is subordinate to the Loan
Documents, either pursuant to its terms or a recorded subordination
agreement.
82
77
Section 4.2. Survival of Representations and Warranties.
Borrower agrees that (i) all of the representations and warranties of Borrower
set forth in this Agreement and in the other Loan Documents delivered on the
Closing Date are made as of the Closing Date (except as expressly otherwise
provided) and (ii) all representations and warranties made by Borrower shall
survive the delivery of the Note and continue for so long as any amount remains
owing to Lender under this Agreement, the Note or any of the other Loan
Documents; provided, however, that the representations, warranties and covenants
set forth in Section 4.1(V) and Sections 5.1(D) through 5.1(I), inclusive, shall
survive in perpetuity subject to any specific limitations contained therein and
shall not be subject to the exculpation provisions of Section 8.14. Borrower
further agrees and acknowledges that its obligations under Section 4.1(V) and
Sections 5.1(D) through 5.1(I) shall survive in perpetuity notwithstanding the
fact that Borrower's indemnification obligations set forth in Section 2.8(f) of
the Mortgage may or may not survive any release, reconveyance, discharge or
foreclosure of the Mortgage. All representations, warranties, covenants and
agreements made in this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents shall be deemed

(A) Existence; Compliance with Legal Requirements; Insurance.
Borrower shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to
preserve, renew and keep in full force and effect its Entity

Facility and promptly take any and all actions necessary to bring
its operations at the Facility into compliance with such applicable
Legal Requirements (and shall fully comply with the requirements of
such Legal
83
78
Requirements that at any time are applicable to its operations at
the Facility) provided, that Borrower at its expense may, after
prior notice to the Lender, contest by appropriate legal,
administrative or other proceedings conducted in good faith and
with due diligence, the validity or application, in whole or in
part, of any such applicable Legal Requirements as long as (i)
neither the applicable Collateral nor any part thereof or any
interest therein, will be sold, forfeited or lost if Borrower pays
the amount or satisfies the condition being contested, and Borrower
would have the opportunity to do so, in the event of Borrower's
failure to prevail in the contest, (ii) Lender would not, by virtue
of such permitted contest, be exposed to any risk of any civil
liability for which Borrower has not furnished additional security

(125%) of the amount of such claim. Borrower shall at all times
maintain, preserve and protect all franchises and trade names and
preserve all the remainder of its property necessary for the
continued conduct of its business and keep the Facility in good

notice to Lender of any litigation or governmental proceedings
pending or threatened against Borrower which is reasonably likely

84
79
(D) Environmental Remediation.
(i) If any investigation, site monitoring, cleanup,
removal, abatement, restoration, remedial work or other response
action of any kind or nature is required pursuant to an order,
directive, decree or settlement agreement of or with any
Governmental Authority or under any applicable Environmental Law
(collectively, the "Remedial Work"), because of or in connection
with the (x) past, present or future presence, suspected presence,
Release or threatened Release of a Hazardous Substance at, on, in,
under or from the Facility or any portion thereof or (y) violation
of or compliance with applicable Environmental Laws, Borrower shall
promptly commence and diligently prosecute to completion all such
Remedial Work or cause such Remedial Work to be prosecuted to
completion. In all events, such Remedial Work shall be commenced
within the time period ordered or directed by such Governmental
Authority or such shorter period as may be required under any
applicable Environmental Law; provided, however, that Borrower
shall not be required to commence such Remedial Work within the
above specified time periods: (x) if prevented from doing so by any
Governmental Authority, (y) if commencing such Remedial Work within
such time periods would result in Borrower or such Remedial Work
violating any Environmental Law, or (z) if Borrower, at its expense
and after prior notice to Lender, is contesting by appropriate
legal, administrative or other proceedings, conducted in good faith
and with due diligence, the need to perform Remedial Work, as long
as (1) Borrower is permitted by the applicable Environmental Laws
to delay performance of the Remedial Work pending such proceedings,
(2) neither Borrower's Facility nor any part thereof or interest
therein will be sold, forfeited or lost if Borrower performs the
Remedial Work being contested, and if Borrower fails to prevail in
contest, Borrower would thereafter have the opportunity to perform
such Remedial Work, (3) Lender would not, by virtue of such
permitted contest, be exposed to any risk of any civil liability
for which Borrower has not furnished additional security as
provided in clause (4) below, or to any risk of criminal liability,
and neither the Facility nor any interest therein would be subject
to the imposition of any Lien for which Borrower has not furnished
additional security as provided in clause (4) below, as a result of
the failure to perform such Remedial Work and (4) Borrower shall
have furnished to Lender additional security in respect of the
Remedial Work being contested and the loss or damage that may
result from Borrower's failure to prevail in such contest in such
amount as may be reasonably requested by Lender but in no event
85
80
less than one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the cost of
such Remedial Work and any loss or damage that may result from
Borrower's failure to prevail in such contest.
(ii) All Remedial Work under clause (i) above shall be
performed by contractors, and under the supervision of a consulting
environmental Engineer, each approved in advance by Lender which
approval will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. All costs
and expenses incurred in connection with such Remedial Work shall
be paid by Borrower. If Borrower does not timely commence and
diligently prosecute to completion the Remedial Work, Lender may
(but shall not be obligated to), upon sixty (60) days prior written
notice to Borrower of its intention to do so, cause such Remedial
Work to be performed. Borrower shall pay or reimburse Lender on
demand for all advances and expenses (including reasonable
attorneys' fees and disbursements) relating to or incurred by
Lender in connection with monitoring, reviewing or performing any
Remedial Work in accordance herewith.
(iii) Unless otherwise required by law, Environmental
Laws or any Governmental Authority, Borrower shall not commence any
Remedial Work under clause (i) above, nor enter into any settlement
agreement, consent decree or other compromise relating to any
Hazardous Substances or Environmental Laws which is reasonably
likely to have a Material Adverse Effect. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if the presence or threatened presence or Release of
Hazardous Substances at, on, in, under, from or about Borrower's
Facility poses an immediate threat to the health, safety or welfare
of any Person or the environment, or is of such a nature that an
immediate response is necessary, Borrower may complete all
necessary Remedial Work. In such events, Borrower shall notify
Lender as soon as practicable and, in any event, within three (3)
Business Days, of any action taken.
(E) Environmental Matters; Inspection.
(i) Borrower shall not cause, allow or authorize a
Hazardous Substance to be present at, on, in, under or to emanate
from the Facility, or migrate from adjoining property onto or into
the Facility, except under conditions permitted by applicable
Environmental Laws and, in the event that such Hazardous Substances
are present at, on, in, under or emanate from the Facility, or
86
81
migrate onto or into the Facility, Borrower shall cause the
performance of Remedial Work, removal or remediation of such
Hazardous Substances, in accordance with this Agreement and
Environmental Laws. Borrower shall use best efforts to prevent, and
to seek the remediation of, any migration of Hazardous Substances
onto or into Borrower's Facility from any adjoining property. The
foregoing covenants shall not be applicable to Hazardous Substances
disclosed in the Environmental Reports delivered to Lender in
connection with the Loan; provided, however, that this exclusion
shall be only applicable as long as such Hazardous Substances
remain in substantially the same condition as described in the
Environmental Reports and do not violate any Environmental Laws or
order or directive of any Governmental Authority and if the
condition of such Hazardous Substances so changes such Hazardous
Substances shall not be excluded from this Section and Borrower
shall be required to comply with this Section with respect to such
Hazardous Substances.
(ii) Upon prior written notice to Borrower, Lender
shall have the right at all reasonable times to enter upon and
inspect all or any portion of the Facility. If Lender has
reasonable grounds to suspect that Remedial Work may be required,
Lender may select or may require Borrower to select a consulting
environmental Engineer reasonably satisfactory to Lender to conduct
and prepare environmental reports assessing the environmental
condition of the Facility. Lender shall be given a reasonable
opportunity to review any reports, data and other documents or
materials reviewed or prepared by the environmental Engineer. The
inspection rights granted to Lender in this Section 5.1(E) shall be
in addition to, and not in limitation of, any other inspection
rights granted to Lender in the Loan Documents, and shall expressly
include the right (if Lender suspects that Remedial Work may be
required) to conduct or require Borrower to conduct soil borings,
establish ground water monitoring ▇▇▇▇▇ and conduct other customary
environmental tests, assessments and audits.
(iii) Borrower agrees to bear and shall pay or
reimburse Lender, on demand, for all sums advanced and expenses
incurred (including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements,
but excluding internal overhead, administrative and similar costs
of Lender) relating to, or incurred by Lender in connection with,
the inspections and reports described in this Section 5.1(E) in the
following situations:
87
82
(x) If Lender has reasonable grounds to believe, at
the time any such inspection is ordered, that there exists an
occurrence or condition that could lead to an Environmental
Claim;
(y) If any such inspection reveals an occurrence
or condition that could lead to an Environmental Claim; or
(z) If an Event of Default with respect to the
Facility exists at the time any such inspection is ordered,
and such Event of Default relates to any representation,
covenant or other obligation pertaining to Hazardous
Substances, Environmental Laws or any other environmental
matter.
(F) Environmental Notices. Borrower shall promptly provide
notice to Lender of:
(i) any Environmental Claim asserted or threatened, in
writing, by any Governmental Authority or other Person with respect
to any Hazardous Substance at, on, in, under or emanating from the
Facility, which could reasonably be expected to impair the value of
Lender's security or have a Material Adverse Effect;
(ii) any Environmental Claim or proceeding,
investigation or inquiry commenced or threatened, in writing, by
any Governmental Authority or Person, against Borrower, with
respect to the presence, suspected presence, Release or threatened
Release of Hazardous Substances from or onto, in or under any
property not owned by Borrower, including, without limitation,
proceedings under the Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation, and Liability Act, as amended, 42 U.S.C. ss. 9601, et
seq., which could reasonably be expected to impair the value of
Lender's security interests or have a Material Adverse Effect;
(iii) all Environmental Claims asserted or threatened
against Borrower, against any other party occupying any Facility or
any portion thereof which become known to Borrower, or against the
Facility, which could reasonably be expected to impair the value
of Lender's security interests or have a Material Adverse Effect;
88
83
(iv) the discovery by Borrower of any occurrence or
condition on any Facility or on any real property adjoining or in
the vicinity of the Facility which could reasonably be expected to
lead to an Environmental Claim against Borrower or Lender which
such Environmental Claim is reasonably likely to have a Material
Adverse Effect; and
(v) the commencement or completion of any Remedial
Work.
(G) Copies of Notices. Borrower shall immediately transmit
to Lender copies of any citations, orders, notices or other written
communications received from any Person or any Governmental
Authority and any notices, reports or other written communications
submitted to any Governmental Authority with respect to the matters
described in Section 5.1(F).
(H) Environmental Claims. Lender and/or, to the extent
authorized by Lender if applicable, the Deed of Trust Trustee may
join and participate in, as a party if Lender so determines, any
legal or administrative proceeding or action concerning the
Facility or any portion thereof under any Environmental Law, if, in
Lender's reasonable judgment, the interests of Lender or the Deed
of Trust Trustee, will not be adequately protected by Borrower.
Borrower agrees to bear and shall pay or reimburse Lender and the
Deed of Trust Trustee on demand for all reasonable sums advanced
and reasonable expenses incurred (including reasonable attorneys'
fees and disbursements) and the Deed of Trust Trustee, incurred by
Lender and the Deed of Trust Trustee in connection with any such
action or proceeding.
(I) Indemnification. Borrower agrees to indemnify,
reimburse, defend (with counsel satisfactory to Lender, at Lender's
election) and hold harmless any Indemnified Party and any Deed of
Trust Trustee, for, from, and against all demands, claims, actions
or causes of action, assessments, losses, damages, liabilities,
costs and expenses, including, without limitation, interest,
penalties, consequential damages, reasonable attorneys' fees,
disbursements and expenses, and reasonable consultants' fees,
disbursements and expenses, including costs of Remedial Work (but
excluding internal overhead, administrative and similar costs of
any Indemnified Party and any Deed of Trust Trustee) (collectively,
"Losses") asserted against, resulting to, imposed on, or incurred
by Lender or any Deed of Trust Trustee, directly or indirectly, in
connection with any of the following
89
84
(except and only to the extent the same are caused (a) by third
parties not affiliated with Borrower subsequent to the foreclosure
of the Mortgage or (b) prior to the foreclosure of the Mortgage by
Lender's and any Deed of Trust Trustee's gross negligence or
willful misconduct (provided that the exceptions in clause (b)
shall reduce the foregoing obligations of Borrower only to the
extent, if any, that Lender's or any Deed of Trust Trustee's gross
negligence or wilful misconduct contributed to the foregoing
demands, claims, etc.)):
(i) events, circumstances, or conditions which are
alleged to, or do, form the basis for an Environmental Claim;
(ii) the presence, Use or Release of Hazardous
Substances at, on, in, under or from the Facility, which presence,
Use or Release requires or could require Remedial Work;
(iii) any Environmental Claim against Borrower,
Lender, Deed of Trust Trustee or any Person whose liability for
such Environmental Claim Borrower has or may have assumed or
retained either contractually or by operation of law; or
(iv) the breach of any representation, warranty or
covenant set forth in Section 4.1(V) and Sections 5.1(D) through
5.1(I), inclusive.
The indemnity provided in this Loan Agreement is not and shall
not be included in any exculpation of Borrower from personal
liability provided in this Loan Agreement or in any other Loan
Document. Nothing in this Section 5.1(I) shall be deemed to deprive
Lender of any rights or remedies provided to it elsewhere in this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents or otherwise available to it
under law except to the extent restricted by this Agreement or the
other Loan Documents. Borrower waives and releases Lender and any
Deed of Trust Trustee from any rights or defenses Borrower may have
under common law or Environmental Laws for liability arising from
or resulting from the presence, Use or Release of Hazardous
Substances except to the extent caused by the gross negligence,
fraud or willful misconduct of Lender or Deed of Trust Trustee or
their agents.
90
85
In the event that Lender or any Deed of Trust Trustee or their
respective agents becomes involved in any action, proceeding or investigation in
connection with the foregoing, Borrower shall have the right to assume the
defense of Lender or any Deed of Trust Trustee therein with counsel reasonably
satisfactory to such party and Borrower shall periodically reimburse any such
party upon demand therefor in an amount equal to its reasonable expenses
(including the reasonable costs of any investigation and preparation and
reasonable fees of outside counsel and disbursements of such counsel in the
event Borrower does not elect to assume such party's defense in any matter
subject to indemnification hereunder) incurred in connection therewith to the
extent such legal or other expenses are the subject of indemnification
hereunder, subject to the foregoing limitations; provided, however, that if any
such action or proceeding shall be settled by Lender or any Deed of Trust
Trustee, Borrower shall be obligated to indemnify and hold Lender or any Deed of
Trust Trustee harmless only if such action or proceeding shall have been settled
on terms approved by Borrower, in writing, which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld.
(J) Access to Facility. Borrower shall permit agents,
representatives and employees of Lender to inspect the Facility or any
part thereof at such reasonable times as may be requested by Lender
upon advance notice, subject, however, to the rights of the tenants of
the Facility.
(K) Notice of Default. Borrower shall promptly advise Lender
of any material adverse change in Borrower's condition, financial or
otherwise, or of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default.
(L) Cooperate in Legal Proceedings. Except with respect to
any claim by Borrower against Lender, Borrower shall cooperate with
Lender with respect to any proceedings before any Governmental
Authority which may in any way affect the rights of Lender
hereunder or any rights obtained by Lender under any of the Loan
Documents and, in connection therewith, not prohibit Lender, at its
election, from participating in any such proceedings.
(M) Perform Loan Documents. Borrower shall observe, perform
and satisfy all the terms, provisions, covenants and conditions
required to be observed, performed or satisfied by it, and shall pay
when due all costs, fees and expenses required to be paid by it, under
the Loan Documents executed and delivered by Borrower.
91
86
(N) Insurance Benefits; Condemnation Claims. Borrower shall
cooperate with Lender in settling any insurance or condemnation claim
and/or obtaining for Lender the benefits of any Insurance Proceeds
and/or Condemnation Proceeds lawfully or equitably payable to Lender in
connection with the Facility (including, without limitation, the
applicable Casualty Prepayment Amount, Casualty Return-of-Fee Amount,
Condemnation Prepayment Amount and/or Condemnation Return-of-Fee
Amount), and Lender shall be reimbursed for any expenses incurred in
connection therewith (including reasonable attorneys' fees and
disbursements) and the payment by Borrower of the expense of an
Appraisal on behalf of Lender in case of a fire or other casualty
affecting the Facility or any part thereof out of such Insurance
Proceeds and/or Condemnation Proceeds, all as more specifically
provided in the Mortgage.
(O) Further Assurances. Borrower shall, at Borrower's sole
cost and expense:
(i) upon Lender's request therefor given from time to
time after the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default pay
for (a) reports of UCC, federal tax lien, state tax lien, judgment
and pending litigation searches with respect to Borrower and (b)
searches of title to the Facility, each such search to be conducted
by search firms reasonably designated by Lender in each of the
locations reasonably designated by Lender.
(ii) furnish to Lender all instruments, documents,
boundary surveys, footing or foundation surveys, certificates,
plans and specifications, Appraisals, title and other insurance
reports and agreements, and each and every other document,
certificate, agreement and instrument required to be furnished
pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents;
(iii) execute and deliver to Lender such documents,
instruments, certificates, assignments and other writings, and do
such other acts reasonably necessary, to evidence, preserve and/or
protect the Collateral at any time securing or intended to secure
the Note, as Lender may reasonably require in Lender's discretion;
and
(iv) do and execute all and such further lawful acts,
conveyances and assurances for the better and more effective
carrying out of the intents and purposes of this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents, as Lender shall reasonably require from time
to time in its discretion.
92
87
(P) Management of Mortgaged Property. The Facility will be
managed at all times by a Manager pursuant to a Management Agreement
unless terminated as herein provided. The Management Agreement shall be
terminated by Borrower, at Lender's request, upon thirty (30) days
prior written notice to Borrower and Manager (i) upon the occurrence
and continuation of an Event of Default, (ii) if Manager commits any
act which would permit termination by Borrower under the Management
Agreement or (iii) in the event that, as of the last day of a calendar
quarter, the Debt Service Coverage Ratio for the Facility, computed on
the basis of the prior twelve (12) calendar months, is less than 1.10:1
or (iv) in the event that, as of the last day of a calendar quarter,
the Net Operating Income computed on the basis of the prior twelve (12)
calendar months is less than 85% of Base Adjusted NOI. During the time
period beginning two years after the Start-Up Day and ending on the
Optional Prepayment Date, if on the first Payment Date after Lender
made the determination that Lender had the right to terminate Manager
pursuant to clause (iii) above, Borrower defeases the Loan in
accordance with the terms of Section 2.10 in an amount sufficient to

available to Lender against Borrower under this Agreement, the Note, the
Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents, or at law or in equity may be
exercised by Lender at any time and from time to time (including, without
limitation, the right to accelerate and declare the outstanding principal
amount, unpaid interest, Default Rate interest, Late Charges, Yield
104
99
Maintenance Premium, the Event of Default Return-of-Fee Amount and any other
amounts owing by Borrower to be immediately due and payable), without notice or
demand, whether or not all or any portion of the Indebtedness shall be declared
due and payable, and whether or not Lender shall have commenced any foreclosure
proceeding or other action for the enforcement of its rights and remedies under
any of the Loan Documents with respect to the Facility or all or any portion of
the Collateral. Any such actions taken by Lender shall be cumulative and
concurrent and may be pursued independently, singly, successively, together or
otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in its
discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by law, without impairing or
otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender permitted by law,
equity or contract or as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents.
Notwithstanding anything contained to the contrary herein, the outstanding
principal amount, unpaid interest, Default Rate interest, Late Charges, Yield
Maintenance Premium, the Event of Default Return-of-Fee Amount and any other
amounts owing by Borrower shall be accelerated and immediately due and payable,
without any election by Lender upon the occurrence of an Event of Default
described in Section 7.1(x) or Section 7.1(xi). Notwithstanding that this
Agreement may refer to a continuing Event of Default, and without limiting
Borrower's right to cure a Default which may, with the passage of time, become
an Event of Default, Borrower shall have no right pursuant to this Agreement to
cure any Event of Default unless this Agreement is amended by Borrower and
Lender in writing.
Section 7.3. Remedies Cumulative. 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 executed by or with respect to
Borrower, 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 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 any Default or
Event of Default shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default
or Event of Default or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon.
Any and all of Lender's rights with respect to the Collateral shall continue
unimpaired, and Borrower shall be and remain obligated in accordance with the
terms hereof,
105
100
notwithstanding (i) the release or substitution of Collateral at any time, or of
any rights or interest therein or (ii) any delay, extension of time, renewal,
compromise or other indulgence granted by Lender in the event of any Default or
Event of Default with respect to the Collateral or otherwise hereunder.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Lender reserves the right
to seek a deficiency judgment or preserve a deficiency claim, in connection with
the foreclosure of the Mortgage on the Facility, to the extent necessary to
foreclose on other parts of the Mortgaged Property.
Section 7.4. Lender's Right to Perform. If Borrower fails to
perform any covenant or obligation contained herein and such failure shall
continue for a period of (5) five Business Days after Borrower's receipt of
written notice thereof from Lender, without in any way limiting Section 7.1
hereof, Lender may, but shall have no obligation to, itself perform, or cause
performance of, such covenant or obligation, and the reasonable expenses of
Lender incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by Borrower to Lender
upon demand. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender shall have no obligation to
send notice to Borrower of any such failure.

ANY CHANGED ADDRESS OF ITS AUTHORIZED AGENT HEREUNDER, (II) MAY AT ANY TIME AND
FROM TIME TO TIME DESIGNATE A SUBSTITUTE AUTHORIZED AGENT (WHICH OFFICE SHALL BE
DESIGNATED AS THE ADDRESS FOR SERVICE OF PROCESS), AND (III) SHALL PROMPTLY
DESIGNATE SUCH A SUBSTITUTE IF ITS AUTHORIZED AGENT CEASES TO HAVE AN OFFICE OR
IS DISSOLVED WITHOUT LEAVING A SUCCESSOR.
Section 8.4. Modification, Waiver in Writing. No modification,
amendment, extension, discharge, termination or waiver of any provision of this
Agreement, the Note or any other Loan Document, or consent to any departure by
Borrower therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in
a writing signed by the party against whom enforcement is sought, and then such
waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance, and for the
purpose, for which given. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no
notice to or demand on Borrower shall entitle Borrower to any other or future
notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances.
Section 8.5. Delay Not a Waiver. Neither any failure nor any
delay on the part of Lender in insisting upon strict performance of any term,
condition, covenant or agreement, or exercising any right, power, remedy or
privilege hereunder, or under the Note, or of any other Loan Document, 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,
108
103
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 Note
or any other Loan Document, Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any right
either to require prompt payment when due of all other amounts due under this
Agreement, the Note or the other Loan Documents, or to declare a default for
failure to effect prompt payment of any such other amount.

SECTION 8.7. TRIAL BY JURY. BORROWER AND LENDER, TO THE
FULLEST EXTENT THAT THEY MAY LAWFULLY DO SO, HEREBY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY
ACTION OR PROCEEDING, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY TORT ACTION, BROUGHT BY
ANY PARTY HERETO WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTE OR THE OTHER LOAN
DOCUMENTS.
Section 8.8. Headings. The Article and Section headings in
this Agreement are herein for convenience of reference only and shall not
constitute a part of this for any other purpose.
Section 8.9. Assignment. Lender shall have the right to assign
in whole or in part this Agreement and/or any of the other Loan Documents and
the obligations hereunder or thereunder to any Person and to participate all or
any portion of the Loan evidenced hereby, including without limitation, any
servicer or trustee in connection with a Securitization. Lender shall provide
Borrower with written notice of any such assignment; provided, however, that
such notice shall not be a condition of Lender's right to assign this Agreement
and/or any of the Loan Documents and the failure to deliver such notice shall
not constitute a default under this Loan Agreement.
Section 8.10. Severability. Wherever possible, each provision
of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and
valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be
prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be
ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without
invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this
Agreement.
Section 8.11. Preferences. Lender shall have no obligation to
marshal any assets in favor of Borrower or any other party or against or in
payment of any or all of the obligations of Borrower pursuant to this Agreement,
the Note or any other Loan Document. To the extent Borrower makes a payment or
payments to Lender for Borrower's benefit, which payment or proceeds or any part
thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential,
set aside or required to be repaid
110
105
to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, state or
federal law, common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment
or proceeds received, the obligations hereunder or part thereof intended to be
satisfied shall be revived and continue in full force and effect, as if such
payment or proceeds had not been received by Lender.
Section 8.12. Waiver of Notice. Borrower shall not be entitled
to any notices of any nature whatsoever from Lender except with respect to
matters for which this Agreement or the other Loan Documents specifically and
expressly provide for the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower and except with
respect to matters for which Borrower is not, pursuant to applicable Legal
Requirements, permitted to waive the giving of notice. Borrower hereby expressly
waives the right to receive any notice from Lender with respect to any matter
for which this Agreement or the other Loan Documents does not specifically and
expressly provide for the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower.
Section 8.13. Remedies of Borrower. In the event that a claim
or adjudication is made that Lender or its agents, has acted unreasonably or
unreasonably delayed acting in any case where by law or under this Agreement,
the Note, the Mortgage or the other Loan Documents, Lender or such agent, as the
case may be, has an obligation to act reasonably or promptly, Borrower agrees
that neither Lender nor its agents, shall be liable for any monetary damages,
and 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.
Section 8.14. Exculpation. Except as otherwise set forth in
this Section 8.14 and Section 4.2 to the contrary, Lender shall not enforce the
liability and obligation of Borrower to perform and observe the obligations
contained in this Agreement, the Note, the Mortgage or any of the other Loan
Documents executed and delivered by Borrower except that Lender may pursue any
power of sale, bring a foreclosure action, action for specific performance,
action for money judgment, or other appropriate action or proceeding (including,
without limitation, to obtain a deficiency judgment) against Borrower or any
other Person solely for the purpose of enabling Lender to realize upon (a) the
Collateral, and (b) the Rents and Accounts arising from the Facility to the
extent (x) received by Borrower or the Manager (or any of their affiliates),
after the occurrence
111
106
of an Event of Default or (y) distributed to Borrower or the Manager, or their
respective shareholders, or partners or members, as applicable, or affiliates
during or with respect to any period for which Lender did not receive the full
amounts it was entitled to receive as prepayments of the Loan pursuant to
Section 2.6, 2.11 (all Rents and Accounts covered by clauses (x) and (y) being
hereinafter referred to as the "Recourse Distributions") and (c)) any other
collateral given to Lender under the Loan Documents ((a), (b), and (c)
collectively, the "Default Collateral"); provided, however, that any judgment in
any such action or proceeding shall be enforceable only to the extent of any
such Default Collateral. The provisions of this Section 8.14 shall not, however,
(a) impair the validity of the Indebtedness evidenced by the Loan Documents or
in any way affect or impair the Liens of the Mortgage or any of the other Loan
Documents or the right of Lender to foreclose the Mortgage following an Event of
Default and the continuance thereof; (b) impair the right of Lender to name any
Person as a party defendant in any action or suit for judicial foreclosure and
sale under the Mortgage; (c) affect the validity or enforceability of the Note,
the Mortgage or the other Loan Documents; (d) impair the right of Lender to
obtain the appointment of a receiver; (e) impair the right of Lender to bring
suit for any damages, losses, expenses, liabilities or costs resulting from
fraud, material misrepresentation, intentional misrepresentation, physical waste
of all or any portion of the Facility, or wrongful removal or disposal of all or
any portion of the Facility by any Person in connection with this Agreement, the
Note, the Mortgage or the other Loan Documents; (f) impair the right of Lender
to obtain the Recourse Distributions received by any Person; (g) impair the
right of Lender to bring suit with respect to any misappropriation of security
deposits or Rents collected more than one (1) month in advance; (h) impair the
right of Lender to obtain Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds due to
Lender pursuant to the Mortgage or any other Loan Document (including, without
limitation, the applicable Casualty Prepayment Amount, Casualty Return-of-Fee
Amount, Condemnation Prepayment Amount and/or Condemnation Return-of-Fee
Amount); (i) impair the right of Lender to enforce the provisions of Sections
4.1(V) or 5.1(D) through 5.1(I), inclusive of this Agreement, Section 2.8 of the
Mortgage even after repayment in full by Borrower of the Indebtedness; (j)
prevent or in any way hinder Lender from exercising, or constitute a defense, or
counterclaim, or other basis for relief in respect of the exercise of, any other
remedy against any or all of the Collateral securing the Note as provided in the
Loan Documents; (k) impair the right of Lender to bring suit with respect to any
misapplication of any funds; or (l) impair the right of Lender to ▇▇▇ for, seek
or demand a deficiency judgment against any Person solely for the purpose of
foreclosing the
112
107
Mortgaged or any part thereof, or realizing upon the Default Collateral;
provided, however, that any such deficiency judgment referred to in this clause
(l) shall be enforceable only to the extent of any of the Default Collateral.
The provisions of this Section shall be inapplicable to any Person if (i) any
petition for bankruptcy, reorganization or arrangement pursuant to federal or
state law against Borrower shall be filed by or against Borrower or consented to
or acquiesced to by Borrower, (ii) if Borrower shall institute any proceeding
for the dissolution or liquidation of Borrower, (iii) if Borrower shall make an
assignment for the benefit of creditors or (iv) if Borrower shall breach the
representation and warranty in Section 4.1(AA).
Section 8.15. Exhibits Incorporated. The information set forth
on the cover, heading and recitals hereof, and the Exhibits attached hereto, are
hereby incorporated herein as a part of this Agreement with the same effect as
if set forth in the body hereof.
Section 8.16. Offsets, Counterclaims and Defenses. Any
assignee of Lender's interest in and to this Agreement, the Note, the Mortgage
and the other Loan Documents shall take the same free and clear of all offsets,
counterclaims or defenses which are unrelated to the Loan, this Agreement, the
Note, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents which Borrower may otherwise
have against any assignor, 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 this Agreement, the Note, the Mortgage and other Loan
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.
Section 8.17. No Joint Venture or Partnership. Borrower and
Lender intend that the relationship created hereunder be solely that of borrower
and lender. Nothing herein is intended to create a joint venture, partnership,
tenancy-in-common, or joint tenancy relationship between Borrower and Lender nor
to grant Lender any interest in the Mortgaged Property other than that of
mortgagee or lender.
Section 8.18. Waiver of Marshalling of Assets Defense. To the
fullest extent that Borrower may legally do so, Borrower waives all rights to a
marshalling of the assets of Borrower, and others with interests in Borrower,
and of the Mortgaged Property, or to a sale in inverse order of alienation in
the event of foreclosure of the
113
108
interests hereby created, and agrees not to assert any right under any laws
pertaining to the marshalling of assets, the sale in inverse order of
alienation, homestead exemption, the administration of estates of decedents, or
any other matters whatsoever to defeat, reduce or affect the right of Lender
under the Loan Documents to a sale of the Facility for the collection of the
Indebtedness without any prior or different resort for collection, or the right
of Lender or Deed of Trust Trustee to the payment of the Indebtedness in
preference to every other claimant whatsoever.
Section 8.19. Intentionally omitted.
Section 8.20. Conflict; Construction of Documents. In the
event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the
provisions of the Note, the Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents, the
provisions of this Agreement shall prevail. The parties hereto acknowledge that
they were represented by counsel in connection with the negotiation and drafting
of the Loan Documents and that the Loan Documents shall not be subject to the
principle of construing their meaning against the party which drafted same.
Section 8.21. Brokers and Financial Advisors. Borrower and
Lender hereby represent that they have dealt with no financial advisors,
brokers, underwriters, placement agents, agents or finders in connection with
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Borrower and Lender hereby
agree to indemnify and hold the other harmless from and against any and all
claims, liabilities, costs and expenses of any kind in any way relating to or
arising from a claim by any Person, that such Person acted on behalf of Borrower
or Lender, as applicable, in connection with the transactions contemplated
herein. The provisions of this Section shall survive the expiration and
termination of this Agreement and the repayment of the Indebtedness.
Section 8.22. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed
in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered
shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the
same instrument.
Section 8.23. Estoppel Certificates. Borrower and Lender each
hereby agree at any time and from time to time upon not less than fifteen (15)
Business Days prior written notice by Borrower or Lender to execute, acknowledge
and deliver to the party specified in such notice, a statement, in writing,
certifying that this Agreement is
114
109
unmodified and in full force and effect (or if there have been modifications,
that the same, as modified, is in full force and effect and stating the
modifications hereto), and stating whether or not, to the knowledge of such
certifying party, any Default or Event of Default has occurred, and, if so,
specifying each such Default or Event of Default; provided, however, that it
shall be a condition precedent to Lender's obligation to deliver the statement
pursuant to this Section, that Lender shall have received, together with
Borrower's request for such statement, an Officer's Certificate stating that no
Default or Event of Default exists as of the date of such certificate (or
specifying such Default or Event of Default).
Section 8.24. Payment of Expenses. Borrower shall, whether or
not the Transactions are consummated, pay all Transaction Costs, which shall
include, without limitation, reasonable out-of-pocket fees, costs, expenses, and
disbursements of Lender and its attorneys, local counsel, accountants and other
contractors in connection with (i) the negotiation, preparation, execution and
delivery of the Loan Documents and the documents and instruments referred to
therein, (ii) the creation, perfection or protection of Lender's Liens in the
Collateral (including, without limitation, fees and expenses for title and lien
searches and filing and recording fees, intangibles taxes, personal property
taxes, mortgage recording taxes, due diligence expenses, travel expenses,
accounting firm fees, costs of the Appraisals, Environmental Reports (and an
environmental consultant), Surveys and the Engineering Reports), (iii) the
negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of any amendment, waiver or
consent relating to any of the Loan Documents, and (iv) the preservation of
rights under and enforcement of the Loan Documents and the documents and
instruments referred to therein, including any restructuring or rescheduling of
the Indebtedness. Lender shall provide Borrower with copies of each invoice in
excess of five hundred dollars ($500.00).
Section 8.25. Bankruptcy Waiver. Borrower hereby agrees that,
in consideration of the recitals and mutual covenants contained herein, and for
other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are
hereby acknowledged, if Borrower (i) files with any bankruptcy court of
competent jurisdiction or be the subject of any petition under Title 11 of the
U.S. Code, as amended, (ii) is the subject of any order for relief issued under
Title 11 of the U.S. Code, as amended, (iii) files or is the subject of any
petition seeking any reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment,
liquidation, dissolution or similar relief under any present or law relating to
bankruptcy, insolvency or other relief of debtors, (iv) has sought or
115
110
consents to or acquiesces in the appointment of any trustee, receiver,
conservator or liquidator or (v) is the subject of any order, judgment or decree
entered by any court of competent jurisdiction approving a petition filed
against such party for any reorganization, arrangement, composition,
readjustment, liquidation, dissolution or similar relief under any present or
future federal or state act or law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or other
relief for debtors, the automatic stay provided by the Federal Bankruptcy Code
shall be modified and annulled as to Lender, so as to permit Lender to exercise
any and all of its rights and remedies, upon request of Lender made on notice to
Borrower and any other party in interest but without the need of further proof
or hearing. Neither Borrower nor any Affiliate of Borrower shall contest the
enforceability of this Section.
Section 8.26 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with
the Exhibits hereto and the other Loan Documents constitutes the entire
agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter contained
in this Agreement, the Exhibits hereto and the other Loan Documents and
supersedes all prior agreements, understandings and negotiations between the
parties.
Section 8.27 Dissemination of Information. If Lender
determines at any time to sell, transfer or assign the Note, this Loan Agreement
and any other Loan Document and any or all servicing rights with respect
thereto, or to grant participations therein or issue mortgage pass-through
certificates or other securities evidencing a beneficial interest in a rated or
unrated public offering or private placement, Lender may forward to each
purchaser, transferee, assignee, servicer, participant or investor in such
securities (collectively, the "Investor") or any Rating Agency rating such
securities and each prospective Investor, all documents and which Lender now
has or may hereafter acquire relating to the Loan, Borrower, any guarantor, any
indemnitor and the Facility, which shall have been furnished by Borrower, any
guarantor, any indemnitor, or any party to any Loan Document, or otherwise
furnished in connection with the Loan, as Lender in its discretion determines
necessary or desirable.
Section 8.28. Limitation of Interest. It is the intention of
Borrower and Lender to conform strictly to applicable usury laws. Accordingly,
if the transactions contemplated hereby would be usurious under applicable law,
then, in that event, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan
Document, it is agreed as follows: (i) the aggregate of all consideration which
constitutes interest under applicable law that
116
111
is taken, reserved, contracted for, charged or received under any Loan Document
or otherwise in connection with the Loan shall under no circumstances exceed the
maximum amount of interest allowed by applicable law, and any excess shall be
credited to principal by Lender (or if the Loan shall have been paid in full,
refunded to Borrower); and (ii) in the event that maturity of the Loan is
accelerated by reason of an election by Lender resulting from any default
hereunder or otherwise, or in the event of any required or permitted prepayment,
then such consideration that constitutes interest may never include more than
the maximum amount of interest allowed by applicable law, and any interest in
excess of the maximum amount of interest allowed by applicable law, if any,
provided for in the Loan Documents or otherwise shall be cancelled automatically
as of the date of such acceleration or prepayment and, if theretofore prepaid,
shall be credited to principal (or if the principal portion of the Loan and any
other amounts not constituting interest shall have been paid in full, refunded
to Borrower.)
In determining whether or not the interest paid or payable
under any specific contingency exceeds the maximum amount allowed by applicable
law, Lender shall, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law (a)
exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (b) amortize,
prorate, allocate and spread, in equal parts, the total amount of interest
throughout the entire contemplated term of the Loan so that the interest rate is
uniform throughout the entire term of the Loan; provided, that if the Loan is
paid and performed in full prior to the end of the full contemplated term
hereof, and if the interest received for the actual period of existence thereof
exceeds the maximum amount allowed by applicable law, Lender shall refund to
Borrower the amount of such excess, and in such event, Lender shall not be
subject to any penalties provided by any laws for contracting for, charging or
receiving interest in excess of the maximum amount allowed by applicable law.
Section 8.29. Indemnification. Borrower shall indemnify and
hold Lender and each of its affiliates and their respective successors and
assigns (including their respective officers, directors, partners, employees,
attorneys, accountants, professionals and agents and each other person, if any,
controlling Lender or any of its affiliates within the meaning of either Section
15 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or Section 20 of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) (each, including Lender, an "Indemnified
Party") harmless against any and all losses, claims, damages, costs, expenses
(including the fees and disbursements of outside counsel retained by any such
person) or liabilities in connection with, arising out of or as a result of the
transactions and matters
117
112
referred to or contemplated by this Agreement, except to the extent that it is
finally judicially determined that any such loss, claim, damage, cost, expense
or liability resulted from the gross negligence or bad faith of such Indemnified
Party or any of its agents or representatives. If any Indemnified Party becomes
involved in any action, proceeding or investigation in connection with any
transaction or matter referred to or contemplated in this Agreement, Borrower
shall periodically reimburse any Indemnified Party upon demand therefor in an
amount equal to its reasonable legal and other expenses (including the
reasonable costs of any investigation and preparation) incurred in connection
therewith to the extent such legal or other expenses are the subject of
indemnification hereunder.
Section 8.30. Borrower Acknowledgments. Borrower hereby
acknowledges to and agrees with Lender that (i) the scope of Lender's business
is wide and includes, but is not limited to, financing, real estate financing,
investment in real estate and other real estate transactions which may be viewed
as adverse to or competitive with the business of Borrower or its Affiliates and
(ii) Borrower has been represented by competent legal counsel and Borrower has
consulted with such counsel prior to executing this Loan Agreement and of the
other Loan Documents.
Section 8.31. Publicity. Lender shall have the right to issue
press releases, advertisements and other promotional materials describing
Lender's participation in the origination of the Loan or the Loan's inclusion in
any Securitization effectuated or to be effectuated by Lender.
Section 8.32. Buy-Up. Notwithstanding anything in this
Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary, (i) Borrower and Lender
agree that no payment of any Casualty Prepayment Amount, Casualty Return-of-Fee
Amount, Condemnation Prepayment Amount, Condemnation Return-of-Fee Amount, Yield
Maintenance Premium or Event of Default Return- of-Fee Amount required to be
paid by Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document is
intended to be a penalty of any nature or kind whatsoever, (ii) Borrower
acknowledges that in connection with the making of the Loan, Lender
paid Borrower a fee equal to $2,559,964, which fee Borrower and Lender both
intended that Lender would recover through the payment of interest on the Loan
by Borrower to Lender through the Optional Prepayment Date at the Initial
Interest Rate and (iii) in consideration for Lender's payment to Borrower of the
fee referred to in clause (ii) above, Borrower hereby unconditionally and
irrevocably
118
113
waives any and all rights of any nature or kind whatsoever that Borrower may
have to contest the validity and/or the enforceability of any payment of any
Casualty Prepayment Amount, Casualty Return-of-Fee Amount, Condemnation
Prepayment Amount, Condemnation Return-of-Fee Amount, Event of Default
Return-of-Fee Amount or Yield Maintenance Premium.
