semi-annually and deducting from the sum of such present values any short-term
interest paid from the date of prepayment to the next succeeding Payment Date in
the event such payment is not made on a Payment Date), over (ii) the principal
amount being prepaid.

evidenced by the Note and secured by the Mortgage, the Assignment of Leases and
the other Loan Documents.
2.1.4 USE OF PROCEEDS. Borrower shall use the proceeds of the Loan to

distribute the balance, if any, to Borrower.
SECTION 2.2 INTEREST RATE.
2.2.1 INTEREST RATE. Interest on the outstanding principal balance of
the Loan shall accrue from (and including) the Closing Date to but excluding the

outstanding principal balance of the Loan shall accrue from and including the
Anticipated Repayment Date to but excluding the Maturity Date at the Revised
Interest Rate.
2.2.2 INTEREST CALCULATION. Interest on the outstanding principal
balance of the Loan shall be calculated by multiplying (a) the actual number of
days elapsed in the period for which the calculation is being made by (b) a
daily rate based on a three hundred sixty (360) day year by (c) the outstanding
principal balance.
2.2.3 DEFAULT RATE. In the event that, and for so long as, any Event
of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the outstanding principal
balance of the Loan and, to the extent permitted by law, all accrued and unpaid

Documents, shall accrue interest at the Default Rate, calculated from the date
such payment was due without regard to any grace or cure periods contained

2.2.4 USURY SAVINGS. This Agreement, the Note and the other Loan
Documents are subject to the express condition that at no time shall Borrower be
obligated or required to pay interest on the principal balance of the Loan at a
rate which could subject Lender to either civil or criminal liability as a
result of being in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate. If, by the terms of this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Borrower is at any time required or
obligated to pay interest on the principal balance due hereunder at a rate in
excess of the Maximum Legal Rate, the Applicable Interest Rate or the Default
Rate, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to the
Maximum Legal Rate and all previous payments in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate
shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of principal (without any
Yield Maintenance Premium or prepayment penalty or premium) and not on account
of the interest due hereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for
the use, forbearance, or detention of the sums due under the Loan, shall, to the
extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and
spread throughout the full stated term of the Loan until payment in full so that
the rate or amount of interest on account of the Loan does not exceed the
Maximum Legal Rate of interest from time to time in effect and applicable to the
Loan for so long as the Loan is outstanding.
SECTION 2.3 LOAN PAYMENT.
2.3.1 MONTHLY DEBT SERVICE PAYMENTS PRIOR TO THE ANTICIPATED REPAYMENT
DATE. (a) Borrower shall pay to Lender on the Closing Date, an amount equal to
interest only on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan from the Closing
Date up to and including February 28, 2006, and (b) on each Payment Date
thereafter up to and including the Anticipated Repayment Date, Borrower shall
make a payment to Lender of interest only in an amount equal to the Monthly Debt
Service Payment Amount, which shall be applied to interest on the outstanding
principal amount of the Loan for the prior calendar month at the Initial
Interest Rate.
2.3.2 PAYMENTS AFTER ANTICIPATED REPAYMENT DATE. From and after the
Anticipated Repayment Date, interest shall accrue on the unpaid principal
balance from time to time at the Revised Interest Rate. On each Payment Date
occurring after the Anticipated Repayment Date Borrower shall (a) make a payment
to Lender of interest only calculated at the Initial Interest Rate, such payment
to be applied to interest in an amount equal to interest that would have accrued
on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan (without adjustment for Accrued
Interest) at the Initial Interest Rate, and (b) pay to Lender the other amounts
required to be paid in accordance with the terms hereof. Interest accrued at the
Revised Interest Rate and not paid pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be
added to the outstanding principal balance on the first day following such
Payment Date and shall earn interest at the Revised Interest Rate to the extent
permitted by law (such accrued interest referred to as, "Accrued Interest").
2.3.3 PAYMENTS GENERALLY. The first (1st) interest accrual period
hereunder shall commence on and include the Closing Date and shall end on and
include February 28, 2006. Each interest accrual period thereafter shall
commence on the first (1st) day of each calendar month during the term of this
Agreement and shall end on and include the final calendar date of such calendar
month. For purposes of making payments hereunder, but not for purposes of
calculating interest accrual periods, if the day on which such payment is due is
not a Business Day, then amounts due on such date shall be due on the
immediately preceding Business Day and with respect to payments of principal due
on the Maturity Date, interest shall be payable at the Applicable Interest Rate
or the Default Rate, as the case may be, through and including the day
immediately preceding such Maturity Date. All amounts due under this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents shall be payable without setoff, counterclaim,
defense or any other deduction whatsoever.
2.3.4 PAYMENT ON MATURITY DATE. Borrower shall pay to Lender on the
Maturity Date the outstanding principal balance of the Loan, all accrued and
unpaid interest and all other amounts due hereunder and under the Note, the
Mortgage and the other Loan Documents.
2.3.5 LATE PAYMENT CHARGE. If any principal, interest or any other
sums due under the Loan Documents (including the amounts due on the Maturity
Date) are not paid by Borrower on or prior to the date on which it is due,
Borrower shall pay to Lender upon demand an amount equal to the lesser of five
percent (5%) of such unpaid sum or the Maximum Legal Rate in order to defray the
expense incurred by Lender in handling and processing such delinquent payment
and to compensate Lender for the loss of the use of such delinquent payment. Any
such amount shall be secured by the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents to the
extent permitted by applicable law.
2.3.6 METHOD AND PLACE OF PAYMENT. Except as otherwise specifically
provided herein, all payments and prepayments under this Agreement and the Note
shall be made to Lender not later than 2:00 P.M., New York City time, on the
date when due and shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America
in immediately available funds at Lender's office or as otherwise directed by
Lender, and any funds received by Lender after such time shall, for all purposes
hereof, be deemed to have been paid on the next succeeding Business Day.
SECTION 2.4 PREPAYMENTS.
2.4.1 VOLUNTARY PREPAYMENTS. Except as otherwise provided in this
Section 2.4, Borrower shall not have the right to prepay the Loan in whole or in
part prior to the Anticipated Repayment Date. On the Payment Date three (3)
months prior to the Anticipated Repayment Date, or on any Payment Date
thereafter, Borrower may, at its option and upon thirty (30) days prior written
notice to Lender, prepay the Debt in whole or in part without payment of the
Yield Maintenance Premium or any other prepayment premium or penalty, provided,
however, if for any reason Borrower prepays the Loan on a date other than a
Payment Date, Borrower shall pay Lender, in addition to the Debt, all interest
which would have accrued on the amount of the Loan through and including the
Payment Date next occurring following the date of such prepayment.
2.4.2 MANDATORY PREPAYMENTS. On the next occurring Payment Date
following the date on which Lender actually receives any Net Proceeds, if Lender
is not obligated to make such Net Proceeds available to Borrower for the
Restoration of the Property or otherwise remit such Net Proceeds to Borrower
pursuant to Section 6.4 hereof, Borrower shall prepay or authorize Lender to
apply Net Proceeds as a prepayment of all or a portion of the outstanding
principal balance of the Loan together with accrued interest and any other sums
due hereunder in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of such Net
Proceeds; provided, however, if an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, Lender may apply such Net Proceeds to the Debt (until paid in full)
in any order or priority in its sole discretion. Other than during the
continuance of an Event of Default, no Yield Maintenance Premium shall be due in
connection with any prepayment made pursuant to this Section 2.4.2.
2.4.3 PREPAYMENTS AFTER DEFAULT. If during the continuance of an Event
of Default, payment of all or any part of the Debt is tendered by Borrower or
otherwise recovered by Lender, such tender or recovery shall be (a) made on the
next occurring Payment Date together with the Monthly Debt Service Payment and
(b) deemed a voluntary prepayment by Borrower in violation of the prohibition
against prepayment set forth in Section 2.4.1 hereof and Borrower shall pay, in
addition to the Debt, an amount equal to the Yield Maintenance Default Premium.
2.4.4 PREPAYMENT PRIOR TO DEFEASANCE EXPIRATION DATE. If the Permitted
Release Date has occurred but the Defeasance Expiration Date has not occurred,
the Debt may be prepaid in whole (but not in part) prior to the date permitted
under Section 2.4.1 hereof upon not less than thirty (30) days prior written
notice to Lender specifying the Payment Date on which prepayment is to be made
(a "Prepayment Date") provided no Event of Default exists and upon payment of an
amount equal to the Yield Maintenance Premium. Lender shall notify Borrower of
the amount and the basis of determination of the required prepayment
consideration. If any notice of prepayment is given, the Debt shall be due and
payable on the Prepayment Date. Lender shall not be obligated to accept any
prepayment of the Debt unless it is accompanied by the prepayment consideration
due in connection therewith. If for any reason Borrower prepays the Loan on a
date other than a Payment Date, Borrower shall pay Lender, in addition to the
Debt, all interest which would have accrued on the amount of the Loan through
and including the Payment Date next occurring following the date of such
prepayment.
SECTION 2.5 DEFEASANCE.
2.5.1 VOLUNTARY DEFEASANCE. (a) Provided no Event of Default shall
then exist, Borrower shall have the right at any time after the Defeasance
Expiration Date and prior to the date voluntarily prepayments are permitted
under Section 2.4.1 hereof to voluntarily defease all, but not part, of the Loan
by and upon satisfaction of the following conditions (such event being a
"DEFEASANCE EVENT"):
(i) Borrower shall provide not less than thirty (30) days prior
written notice to Lender specifying the Payment Date (the "DEFEASANCE
DATE") on which the Defeasance Event is to occur;
(ii) Borrower shall pay to Lender all accrued and unpaid interest on
the principal balance of the Loan to and including the Defeasance Date. If
for any reason the Defeasance Date is not a Payment Date, the Borrower
shall also pay interest that would have accrued on the Note through and
including the Payment Date immediately preceding the next Payment Date,
provided, however, if the Defeasance Deposit shall include short-term
interest computed from the date of such prepayment through to the next
succeeding Payment Date, Borrower shall not be required to pay such short
term interest pursuant to this sentence;
(iii) Borrower shall pay to Lender all other sums, not including
scheduled interest or principal payments, then due under the Note, this
Agreement, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents;
(iv) Borrower shall pay to Lender the required Defeasance Deposit for
the Defeasance Event;
(v) Intentionally omitted;
(vi) Borrower shall execute and deliver a pledge and security
agreement, in form and substance that would be reasonably satisfactory to a
prudent lender creating a first priority lien on the Defeasance Deposit and
the U.S. Obligations purchased with the Defeasance Deposit in accordance
with the provisions of this Section 2.5 (the "Security Agreement");
(vii) Borrower shall deliver an opinion of counsel for Borrower that
is standard in commercial lending transactions and subject only to
customary qualifications, assumptions and exceptions opining, among other
things, that Borrower has legally and validly transferred and assigned the
U.S. Obligations and all obligations, rights and duties under and to the
Note to the Successor Borrower, that Lender has a perfected first priority
security interest in the Defeasance Deposit and the U.S. Obligations
delivered by Borrower and that any REMIC Trust formed pursuant to a
Securitization will not fail to maintain its status as a "real estate
mortgage investment conduit" within the meaning of Section 860D of the Code
as a result of such Defeasance Event;
(viii) Borrower shall deliver confirmation in writing from each of the
applicable Rating Agencies to the effect that such release will not result
in a downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the respective ratings in
effect immediately prior to such Defeasance Event for the Securities issued
in connection with the Securitization which are then outstanding. If
required by the applicable Rating Agencies, Borrower shall also deliver or
cause to be delivered an Additional Insolvency Opinion with respect to the
Successor Borrower in form and substance satisfactory to Lender and the
applicable Rating Agencies;
(ix) Borrower shall deliver an Officer's Certificate certifying that
the requirements set forth in this Section 2.5.1(a) have been satisfied;
(x) Borrower shall deliver a certificate of Borrower's independent
certified public accountant certifying that the U.S. Obligations purchased
with the Defeasance Deposit will generate monthly amounts equal to or
greater than the Scheduled Defeasance Payments;
(xi) Borrower shall deliver such other certificates, documents or
instruments as Lender may reasonably request; and

Mortgage as provided in Section 2.6 hereof, (B) reasonable attorneys' fees
and expenses incurred in connection with the Defeasance Event, (C) the
reasonable costs and expenses of the Rating Agencies, (D) any revenue,
documentary stamp or intangible taxes or any other tax or charge due in
connection with the transfer of the Note, or otherwise required to
accomplish the defeasance and (E) the reasonable costs and expenses of
Servicer and any trustee, including reasonable attorneys' fees.
(b) In connection with the Defeasance Event, Borrower shall use the
Defeasance Deposit to purchase U.S. Obligations which provide payments on or
prior to, but as close as possible to, all successive scheduled Payment Dates
after the Defeasance Date upon which interest and principal payments are
required under this Agreement and the Note, and in amounts equal to the
scheduled payments due on such dates under this Agreement and the Note
(including, without limitation, scheduled payments of principal, interest,
servicing fees (if any), and any other amounts due under the Loan Documents on
such Payment Dates) and assuming the Note is prepaid in full on the Anticipated
Repayment Date (the "Scheduled Defeasance Payments"). Borrower, pursuant to the
Security Agreement or other appropriate document, shall authorize and direct
that the payments received from the U.S. Obligations may be made directly to
Lender (or its designee) and applied to satisfy the Debt Service obligations of
Borrower under this Agreement and the Note. Any portion of the Defeasance
Deposit in excess of the amount necessary to purchase the U.S. Obligations
required by this Section 2.5 and satisfy Borrower's other obligations under this
Section 2.5 and Section 2.6 shall be remitted to Borrower.
2.5.2 COLLATERAL. Each of the U.S. Obligations that are part of the
defeasance collateral shall be duly endorsed by the holder thereof as directed
by Lender or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form and
substance that would be satisfactory to a prudent lender (including, without
limitation, such instruments as may be required by the depository institution
holding such securities or by the issuer thereof, as the case may be, to
effectuate book-entry transfers and pledges through the book-entry facilities of
such institution) in order to perfect upon the delivery of the defeasance
collateral a first priority security interest therein in favor of Lender in
conformity with all applicable state and federal laws governing the granting of
such security interests.
2.5.3 SUCCESSOR BORROWER. In connection with any Defeasance Event,
Borrower may at its option, or if so required by the applicable Rating Agencies
shall, establish or designate a successor entity (the "Successor Borrower")
acceptable to Lender, which shall be a Special Purpose Entity and Borrower shall
transfer and assign all obligations, rights and duties under and to the Note,
together with the pledged U.S. Obligations to such Successor Borrower. Such
Successor Borrower shall assume the obligations under the Note and the Security
Agreement and Borrower shall be relieved of its obligations under such
documents. Borrower shall pay One Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($1,000) to any
such Successor Borrower as consideration for assuming the obligations under the
Note and the Security Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to
the contrary, no other assumption fee shall be payable upon a transfer of the
Note in accordance with this Section 2.5.3, but Borrower shall pay all
reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Lender, including Lender's reasonable
attorneys' fees and expenses and any reasonable fees and expenses of any Rating
Agencies, incurred in connection therewith.
SECTION 2.6 RELEASE OF PROPERTY. Except as set forth in this Section 2.6,
no repayment, prepayment or defeasance of all or any portion of the Loan shall
cause, give rise to a right to require, or otherwise result in, the release of
the Lien of the Mortgage on the Property.
2.6.1 RELEASE OF PROPERTY.
(a) If Borrower has elected to defease the entire Loan and the
requirements of Section 2.5 and this Section 2.6 have been satisfied, all of the
Property shall be released from the Lien of the Mortgage and the U.S.
Obligations, pledged pursuant to the Security Agreement, shall be the sole
source of collateral securing the Note.
(b) In connection with a defeasance of the Loan, Borrower shall submit
to Lender, not less than thirty (30) days prior to the Defeasance Date, a
release of Lien (and related Loan Documents) for the Property for execution by
Lender. Such release shall be in a form appropriate in the jurisdiction in which
the Property is located and that would be satisfactory to a prudent lender and
contains standard provisions, if any, protecting the rights of the releasing
lender. In addition, Borrower shall provide all other documentation Lender
reasonably requires to be delivered by Borrower in connection with such release,
together with an Officer's Certificate certifying that such documentation (i) is
in compliance with all Legal Requirements, and (ii) will effect such releases in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
2.6.2 RELEASE ON PAYMENT IN FULL. Lender shall, upon the written
request and at the expense of Borrower, upon payment in full of all principal
and interest due on the Loan and all other amounts due and payable under the
Loan Documents in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Note and this
Agreement, release the Lien of the Mortgage on the Property.
SECTION 2.7 CASH MANAGEMENT.
2.7.1 CLEARING BANK OPTION. Borrower shall have the option, to be
exercised and implemented not less than six months prior to the Anticipated
Repayment Date (the "CLEARING BANK OPTION"), to establish an account (the
"CLEARING ACCOUNT") at a bank acceptable to Lender in its reasonable discretion
(the "CLEARING BANK") to which each tenant at the Property shall be instructed
to deliver all Rents due under their respective Leases. Lender, Borrower and
Clearing Bank shall execute an agreement in form and substance acceptable to
Lender in its reasonable discretion (the "CLEARING BANK AGREEMENT") whereby
Clearing Bank agrees, among other things, that upon its receipt from Lender of a
notice that a Cash Management Trigger has occurred, all funds on deposit in the
Clearing Account shall be swept on a daily basis to the Cash Management Account.
Borrower shall be responsible for all fees, including fees charged by Clearing
Bank, in connection with the Clearing Account.
2.7.2 CASH MANAGEMENT ACCOUNT.
(a) In connection with the Closing, Borrower shall execute and deliver
to Lender a Tenant Direction Letter for each of the tenants at the Property,
which Tenant Direction Letter instructs each such tenant to deposit Rent and
other receivables related to the Property directly into an account (the "Cash
Management Account") to be owned and controlled by Lender or Servicer (on behalf
of Lender) (the "Agent"). Lender shall have a first priority security interest
in the Cash Management Account and all deposits at any time contained therein
and the proceeds thereof and will take all actions necessary to maintain in
favor of Lender a perfected first priority security interest in the Cash
Management Account, including, without limitation, executing and filing UCC-1
Financing Statements and continuations thereof. Such Cash Management Account
shall bear interest for the benefit of Borrower, and shall, at Lender's option,
be an Eligible Account. Borrower covenants and agrees to execute and deliver to
Lender a Tenant Direction Letter for each new tenant at the Property within
thirty (30) days after the execution of each new Lease for premises at the
Property. Lender will hold all Tenant Direction Letters in escrow; provided,
however, upon the occurrence of a Cash Management Trigger, unless the Clearing
Bank Option shall have been exercised and implemented, Lender shall have the
right to deliver a Tenant Direction Letter to each tenant at the Property.
Borrower constitutes and appoints Lender its true and lawful attorney in fact
with full power of substitution for purposes of executing the Tenant Direction
Letters should Borrower fail to do so within five (5) Business Days after
Lender's request. Such power of attorney shall be deemed to be a power coupled
with an interest and cannot be revoked.
(b) Borrower shall be responsible for all fees, including fees charged
by Agent, in connection with the Cash Management Account.
(c) Following a Cash Management Trigger, and provided no Event of
Default shall then exist, on each Payment Date (or, if such Payment Date is not
a Business Day, on the immediately preceding Business Day) all funds on deposit
in the Cash Management Account shall be applied by Lender to the payment of the
following items in the order indicated:
(i) First, payments to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund in accordance
with the terms and conditions of Section 7.2 hereof;
(ii) Second, payment of the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount,
applied to the payment of interest computed at the Initial Interest Rate;
(iii) Third, required payments to the Replacement Reserve Fund in
accordance with the terms and conditions hereof;
(iv) Fourth, payment to the Lender of any other amounts then due and
payable under the Loan Documents (other than Accrued Interest);
(v) Fifth, on or after the Anticipated Repayment Date, payments for
monthly Operating Expenses incurred in accordance with the related Approved
Annual Budget pursuant to a written request for payment submitted by
Borrower to Lender specifying the individual Operating Expenses in a form
acceptable to Lender;
(vi) Sixth, on or after the Anticipated Repayment Date, payments for
Extraordinary Expenses approved by Lender, if any, pursuant to a written
request for payment submitted by Borrower to Lender specifying the
individual Extraordinary Expenses in a form acceptable to Lender;
(vii) Seventh, on or after the Anticipated Repayment Date, payments to
Lender in reduction of the outstanding principal balance of the Loan;
(viii) Eighth, on or after the Anticipated Repayment Date, payments to
Lender for Accrued Interest; and
(ix) Lastly, payment of any excess amounts, if any, ("EXCESS CASH
FLOW") to Borrower.
(d) The insufficiency of funds on deposit in the Cash Management
Account shall not relieve Borrower from the obligation to make any payments, as
and when due pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and such
obligations shall be separate and independent, and not conditioned on any event
or circumstance whatsoever.
(e) All funds on deposit in the Cash Management Account following the
occurrence of an Event of Default may be applied by Lender in such order and
priority as Lender shall determine.
(f) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, upon a Cash
Management Termination Event, Lender promptly shall send revised Tenant
Direction Letters to each tenant directing such tenants to remit all rent due to
Borrower, and all funds remaining in the Cash Management Account shall be
returned to Borrower.
2.7.3 PAYMENTS RECEIVED UNDER THE CASH MANAGEMENT ARRANGEMENT.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or the
other Loan Documents, and provided no Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, Borrower's obligations with respect to the payment of the Monthly
Debt Service Payment Amount and amounts required to be deposited into the
Reserve Funds, if any, shall be deemed satisfied to the extent sufficient
amounts are deposited in the Cash Management Account to satisfy such obligations
on the dates each such payment is required, regardless of whether any of such
amounts are so applied by Lender.

IV. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
SECTION 4.1 BORROWER REPRESENTATIONS. Borrower represents and warrants as
of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date that:
4.1.1 ORGANIZATION. Borrower has been duly organized and is validly
existing and in good standing with requisite power and authority to own its
properties and to transact the businesses in which it is now engaged. Borrower
is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction
where it is required to be so qualified in connection with its properties,
businesses and operations. Borrower possesses all rights, licenses, permits and
authorizations, governmental or otherwise, necessary to entitle it to own its
properties and to transact the businesses in which it is now engaged, and the
sole business of Borrower is the ownership, management and operation of the
Property. The ownership interests in Borrower are as set forth on the
organizational chart attached hereto as Schedule III.
4.1.2 PROCEEDINGS. Borrower has taken all necessary action to
authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents. This Agreement and such other Loan Documents have been
duly executed and delivered by or on behalf of Borrower and constitute legal,
valid and binding obligations of Borrower enforceable against Borrower in
accordance with their respective terms, subject only to applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency and similar laws affecting rights of creditors generally, and
subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity (regardless of
whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law).
4.1.3 NO CONFLICTS. The execution, delivery and performance of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents by Borrower will not conflict with or
result in a breach of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default
under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or
encumbrance (other than pursuant to the Loan Documents) upon any of the property
or assets of Borrower pursuant to the terms of any indenture, mortgage, deed of
trust, loan agreement, partnership agreement, management agreement or other
agreement or instrument to which Borrower is a party or by which any of
Borrower's property or assets is subject, nor will such action result in any
violation of the provisions of any statute or any order, rule or regulation of
any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over Borrower or any of
Borrower's properties or assets, and any consent, approval, authorization,
order, registration or qualification of or with any court or any such
Governmental Authority required for the execution, delivery and performance by
Borrower of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents has been obtained and is
in full force and effect.
4.1.4 LITIGATION. There are no actions, suits or proceedings at law or
in equity by or before any Governmental Authority or other agency now pending or
threatened against or affecting Borrower, Guarantor or, to Borrower's actual
knowledge, the Property, which actions, suits or proceedings, if determined
against Borrower, Guarantor or the Property, might materially adversely affect
the condition (financial or otherwise) or business of Borrower, Guarantor or the
condition or ownership of the Property.
4.1.5 AGREEMENTS. Borrower is not a party to any agreement or
instrument or subject to any restriction which might materially and adversely
affect Borrower or the Property, or Borrower's business, properties or assets,
operations or condition, financial or otherwise. Borrower is not in default in
any material respect in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the
obligations, covenants or conditions contained in any agreement or instrument to
which it is a party or by which Borrower or the Property is bound. Borrower has
no material financial obligation under any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust,
loan agreement or other agreement or instrument to which Borrower is a party or
by which Borrower or the Property is otherwise bound, other than (a) obligations
incurred in the ordinary course of the operation of the Property as permitted
pursuant to clause (xxiii) of the definition of "Special Purpose Entity" set
forth in Section 1.1 hereof and (b) obligations under the Loan Documents.
4.1.6 TITLE. Borrower has good and marketable fee simple title to the
real property comprising part of the Property and good title to the balance of
the Property, free and clear of all Liens whatsoever except the Permitted
Encumbrances, such other Liens as are permitted pursuant to the Loan Documents
and the Liens created by the Loan Documents. To Borrower's actual knowledge, the
Permitted Encumbrances in the aggregate do not materially and adversely affect
the value, operation or use of the Property (as currently used) or Borrower's
ability to repay the Loan. To Borrower's actual knowledge, the Mortgage, when
properly recorded in the appropriate records, together with any Uniform
Commercial Code financing statements required to be filed in connection
therewith, will create (a) a valid, perfected first priority lien on the
Property, subject only to Permitted Encumbrances and the Liens created by the
Loan Documents and (b) perfected security interests in and to, and perfected
collateral assignments of, all personalty owned by Borrower (including the
Leases), all in accordance with the terms thereof, in each case subject only to
any applicable Permitted Encumbrances, such other Liens as are permitted
pursuant to the Loan Documents and the Liens created by the Loan Documents. To
Borrower's actual knowledge and except as set forth in the Title Insurance
Policy, there are no claims for payment for work, labor or materials affecting
the Property which are or may become a Lien prior to, or of equal priority with,
the Liens created by the Loan Documents.
4.1.7 SOLVENCY. Borrower has (a) not entered into this transaction or
executed the Note, this Agreement or any other Loan Documents with the actual
intent to hinder, delay or defraud any creditor and
(b) received reasonably equivalent value in exchange for its obligations under
such Loan Documents. Giving effect to the Loan, the fair saleable value of
Borrower's assets exceeds and will, immediately following the making of the
Loan, exceed Borrower's total liabilities, including, without limitation,
subordinated, unliquidated, disputed and contingent liabilities. The fair
saleable value of Borrower's assets is and will, immediately following the
making of the Loan, be greater than Borrower's probable liabilities, including
the maximum amount of its contingent liabilities on its debts as such debts
become absolute and matured. Borrower's assets do not and, immediately following
the making of the Loan 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 debt and liabilities
(including contingent liabilities and other commitments) beyond its ability to
pay such debt and liabilities as they mature (taking into account the timing and
amounts of cash to be received by Borrower and the amounts to be payable on or
in respect of obligations of Borrower). No petition in bankruptcy has been filed
against Borrower or Guarantor in the last seven (7) years, and neither Borrower
nor Guarantor in the last seven (7) years has ever made an assignment for the
benefit of creditors or taken advantage of any insolvency act for the benefit of
debtors. Neither Borrower nor Guarantor are contemplating either the filing of a
petition by it under any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency laws or the
liquidation of all or a major portion of Borrower's assets or property, and
Borrower has no actual knowledge of any Person contemplating the filing of any
such petition against it or Guarantor.
4.1.8 FULL AND ACCURATE DISCLOSURE. No statement of fact made by
Borrower in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents contains any
untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact
necessary to make statements contained herein or therein not misleading. There
is no material fact presently known to Borrower which has not been disclosed to
Lender which adversely affects, nor as far as Borrower can foresee, might
adversely affect, the Property or the business, operations or condition
(financial or otherwise) of Borrower.
4.1.9 NO PLAN ASSETS. Borrower does not sponsor, is not obligated to
contribute to, and is not itself an "employee benefit plan," as defined in
Section 3(3) of ERISA, subject to Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code,
and none of the assets of Borrower constitutes or will constitute "plan assets"
of one or more such plans within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101. In
addition, (a) Borrower is not a "governmental plan" within the meaning of
Section 3(32) of ERISA and (b) transactions by or with Borrower are not subject
to any state or other statute, regulation or other restriction regulating
investments of, or fiduciary obligations with respect to, governmental plans
within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA which is similar to the provisions
of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and which prohibit or
otherwise restrict the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including
but not limited to the exercise by Lender of any of its rights under the Loan
Documents.
4.1.10 COMPLIANCE. To Borrower's actual knowledge, Borrower and the
Property and the use thereof comply in all material respects with all applicable
Legal Requirements, including, without limitation, building and zoning
ordinances and codes. Borrower is not in default or violation of any order,
writ, injunction, decree or demand of any Governmental Authority. To Borrower's
actual knowledge, there has not been committed by Borrower or any other Person
in occupancy of or involved with the operation or use of the Property any act or
omission affording the federal government or any other Governmental Authority
the right of forfeiture as against the Property or any part thereof or any
monies paid in performance of Borrower's obligations under any of the Loan
Documents.
4.1.11 FINANCIAL INFORMATION. All financial data, including, without
limitation, the statements of cash flow and income and operating expense, that
have been delivered to Lender in connection with the Loan (i) are true, complete
and correct in all material respects, (ii) accurately represent the financial
condition of Borrower and the Property, as applicable, as of the date of such
reports, and (iii) to the extent prepared or audited by an independent certified
public accounting firm, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP (or another
basis of accounting acceptable to Lender and consistently applied), throughout
the periods covered, except as disclosed therein. Except for Permitted
Encumbrances, Borrower does not have any contingent liabilities, liabilities for
taxes, unusual forward or long-term commitments or unrealized or anticipated
losses from any unfavorable commitments that are known to Borrower and
reasonably likely to have a materially adverse effect on the Property or the
operation thereof as a retail center, except as referred to or reflected in said
financial statements. Since the date of
such financial statements, there has been no materially adverse change in the
financial condition, operations or business of Borrower from that set forth in
said financial statements.

commenced or, to Borrower's actual knowledge, is threatened or contemplated with
respect to all or any portion of the Property or for the relocation of roadways
providing access to the Property.
4.1.13 FEDERAL RESERVE REGULATIONS. No part of the proceeds of the
Loan will be used for the purpose of purchasing or acquiring any "margin stock"
within the meaning of Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal

purposes prohibited by Legal Requirements or by the terms and conditions of this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents.
4.1.14 UTILITIES AND PUBLIC ACCESS. The Property has rights of access
to public ways and is served by water, sewer, sanitary sewer and storm drain
facilities adequate to service the Property for its intended uses. All public
utilities necessary or convenient to the full use and enjoyment of the Property
are located either in the public right-of-way abutting the Property (which are
connected so as to serve the Property without passing over other property) or in
recorded easements serving the Property and such easements are set forth in the
Title Insurance Policy. All roads necessary for the use of the Property for its
current purposes have been completed and dedicated to public use and accepted by
all Governmental Authorities.

the meaning of Section 1445(f)(3) of the Code.

comprised of one (1) or more parcels which constitute a separate tax lot or lots
and does not constitute a portion of any other tax lot not a part of the
Property.
4.1.17 ASSESSMENTS. To Borrower's actual knowledge and except as set
forth in the Title Insurance Policy, there are no pending or proposed special or
other assessments for public improvements or otherwise affecting the Property
nor are there any contemplated improvements to the Property that may result in
such special or other assessments.
4.1.18 ENFORCEABILITY. To Borrower's actual knowledge, the Loan
Documents are not subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or
defense by Borrower or Guarantor, including the defense of usury, nor would the
operation of any of the terms of the Loan Documents, or the exercise of any
right thereunder, render the Loan Documents unenforceable (subject to principles
of equity and bankruptcy, insolvency and other laws generally affecting
creditors' rights and the enforcement of debtors' obligations), and neither
Borrower nor Guarantor have asserted any right of rescission, set-off,
counterclaim or defense with respect thereto.

of the landlord's interest in the Leases or any portion of the Rents due and
payable or to become due and payable which are presently outstanding.

acceptable to Lender, reflecting the insurance coverages, amounts and other
requirements set forth in this Agreement. To Borrower's actual knowledge, no
claims have been made or are currently pending, outstanding or otherwise remain
unsatisfied under any of the Policies and neither Borrower nor any other Person,

such Policy.

operation of the Property as a retail center. The use being made of the Property
is in conformity with the certificate of occupancy issued for the Property.

mortgage or deed of trust superior in lien to the Mortgage; (iii) such
proceeding shall be permitted under and be conducted in accordance with the
provisions of any instrument to which Borrower is subject and shall not
constitute a default thereunder and such proceeding shall be conducted in
accordance with all applicable statutes, laws and ordinances; (iv) neither the
Property nor any part thereof or interest therein will be in danger of being
sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost; (v) Borrower shall promptly upon
final determination thereof comply with any such Legal Requirement determined to
be valid or applicable or cure any violation of any Legal Requirement; (vi) such
proceeding shall suspend the enforcement of the contested Legal Requirement
against Borrower or the Property; and (vii) Borrower shall furnish such security
as may be required in the proceeding, or as may be requested by Lender, to
insure compliance with such Legal Requirement, together with all interest and
penalties payable in connection therewith. Lender may apply any such security,
as necessary to cause compliance with such Legal Requirement at any time when,
in the reasonable judgment of Lender, the validity, applicability or violation
of such Legal Requirement is finally established or the Property (or any part
thereof or interest therein) shall be in danger of being sold, forfeited,
terminated, cancelled or lost.
5.1.2 TAXES AND OTHER CHARGES. Borrower shall pay or cause to be paid
all Taxes and Other Charges now or hereafter levied or assessed or imposed
against the Property or any part thereof as the same become due and payable;
provided, however, Borrower's obligation to directly pay (or cause to be paid)
Taxes shall be suspended for so long as Borrower complies with the terms and
provisions of Section 7.2 hereof. Borrower will deliver to Lender receipts for
payment or other evidence satisfactory to Lender that the Taxes and Other
Charges have been so paid or are not then delinquent no later than ten (10) days
prior to the date on which the Taxes and/or Other Charges would otherwise be
delinquent if not paid, provided, however, if the tenant under a Lease pays such
Taxes or Other Charges directly to the applicable authority and Borrower timely
requests and diligently pursues evidence of payment, and further provided that
no enforcement action has been commenced by the applicable authority resulting
from such tenant's failure to pay Taxes or Other Charges, Borrower shall have an
additional thirty (30) day period to provide such evidence to Lender. Borrower
shall not suffer and shall promptly cause to be paid and discharged any Lien or
charge whatsoever which may be or become a Lien or charge against the Property
(other than Permitted Encumbrances), and shall promptly pay for or cause to be
paid all utility services provided to the Property. After prior written notice
to Lender, Borrower, at its own expense, may contest by appropriate legal
proceeding, promptly initiated and conducted in good faith and with due
diligence, the amount or validity or application in whole or in part of any
Taxes or Other Charges, provided that (i) no Event of Default has occurred and
remains uncured; (ii) Borrower is permitted to do so under the provisions of any
mortgage or deed of trust superior in lien to the Mortgage; (iii) such
proceeding shall be permitted under and be conducted in accordance with the
provisions of any other instrument to which Borrower is subject and shall not
constitute a default thereunder and such proceeding shall be conducted in
accordance with all applicable statutes, laws and ordinances; (iv) neither the
Property nor any part thereof or interest therein will be in danger of being
sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost; (v) Borrower shall promptly upon
final determination thereof pay the amount of any such Taxes or Other Charges,
together with all costs, interest and penalties which may be payable in
connection therewith; (vi) such
proceeding shall suspend the collection of such contested Taxes or Other Charges
from the Property; and (vii) Borrower shall furnish such security as may be
required in the proceeding, or as may be requested by Lender, to insure the
payment of any such Taxes or Other Charges, together with all interest and
penalties thereon. Lender may pay over any such cash deposit or part thereof
held by Lender to the claimant entitled thereto at any time when, in the
judgment of Lender, the entitlement of such claimant is established or the
Property (or part thereof or interest therein) shall be in danger of being sold,
forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost or there shall be any danger of the
Lien of the Mortgage being primed by any related Lien (other than Permitted
Encumbrances).
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.1.2, to the
extent the Leases with Hobby Lobby and Sam's Club remain in effect and each such
tenant remains liable for the obligations under its respective Lease, the right
to contest the validity, applicability or amount of any asserted tax or
assessment shall be governed by such Leases.
5.1.3 LITIGATION. Borrower shall give prompt written notice to Lender
of any litigation or governmental proceedings pending or threatened against
Borrower and/or Guarantor which might materially adversely affect Borrower's or
Guarantor's condition (financial or otherwise) or business or the Property.
5.1.4 ACCESS TO PROPERTY. Subject to the rights of tenants under the
Leases, Borrower shall permit agents, representatives and employees of Lender to
inspect the Property or any part thereof at reasonable hours upon reasonable
advance notice.
5.1.5 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 Event of Default of which Borrower has actual knowledge.
5.1.6 COOPERATE IN LEGAL PROCEEDINGS. Borrower shall cooperate fully
with Lender with respect to any proceedings before any court, board or other
Governmental Authority which may in any way affect the rights of Lender
hereunder or any rights obtained by Lender under any of the other Loan Documents
and, in connection therewith, permit Lender, at its election, to participate in
any such proceedings.
5.1.7 PERFORM LOAN DOCUMENTS. Borrower shall observe, perform and
satisfy all the terms, provisions, covenants and conditions of, and shall pay
when due all costs, fees and expenses to the extent required under the Loan
Documents executed and delivered by, or applicable to, Borrower.

Lender in obtaining for Lender the benefits of any Awards or Insurance Proceeds
lawfully or equitably payable in connection with the Property, and Lender shall
be reimbursed for any reasonable expenses incurred in connection therewith
(including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements, and the payment by
Borrower of the reasonable expense of an appraisal on behalf of Lender in case
of Casualty or Condemnation affecting the Property or any part thereof) out of
such Insurance Proceeds.
5.1.9 FURTHER ASSURANCES. Borrower shall, at Borrower's sole cost and
expense:
(a) 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
by Borrower pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents or which are reasonably
requested by Lender in connection therewith;
(b) execute and deliver to Lender such documents, instruments,

(c) do and execute all and such further lawful and reasonable 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.
5.1.10 PRINCIPAL PLACE OF BUSINESS, STATE OF ORGANIZATION. Borrower
will not cause or permit any change to be made in its name, identity (including
its trade name or names), place of organization or formation (as set forth in
Section 4.1.36 hereof) or, except for Transfers permitted under the Loan
Documents, Borrower's corporate or partnership structure unless Borrower shall
have first notified Lender in writing of such change at least thirty (30) days
prior to the effective date of such change, and shall have first taken all
action required by Lender for the purpose of perfecting or protecting the lien
and security interests of Lender pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents and, in the case of a change in Borrower's structure which is not
permitted under the Loan Documents, without first obtaining the prior consent of
Lender. Upon Lender's request, Borrower shall execute and deliver additional
financing statements, security agreements and other instruments which may be
necessary to effectively evidence or perfect Lender's security interest in the
Property as a result of such change of principal place of business or place of
organization. Borrower's principal place of business and chief executive office,
and the place where Borrower keeps its books and records, including recorded
data of any kind or nature, regardless of the medium or recording, including
software, writings, plans, specifications and schematics, has been for the
preceding four months (or, if less, the entire period of the existence of
Borrower) and will continue to be the address of Borrower set forth at the
introductory paragraph of this Agreement (unless Borrower notifies Lender in
writing at least thirty (30) days prior to the date of such change). Borrower's
organizational identification number, if any, assigned by the state of
incorporation or organization is correctly set forth in the introductory
paragraph of this Agreement. Borrower shall promptly notify Lender of any change
in its organizational identification number. If Borrower does not now have an
organizational identification number and later obtains one, Borrower promptly
shall notify Lender of such organizational identification number.
5.1.11 FINANCIAL REPORTING. Borrower shall keep accurate books and
records of account of the Property and its own financial affairs sufficient to
permit the preparation of financial statements therefrom on the income tax basis
of accounting. Lender and its duly authorized representatives shall have the
right to examine, copy and audit Borrower's records and books of account at all
reasonable times. So long as this Agreement continues in effect, Borrower shall
provide to Lender, in addition to any other financial statements required
hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, the following financial
statements and information, all of which must be certified to Lender as being
true and correct by Borrower or the person or entity to which they pertain, as
applicable, and be prepared in accordance with the income tax basis of
accounting and be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender:
(a) copies of any tax returns filed by Borrower, within thirty (30)
days after the date of filing;
(b) [reserved]; and
(c) quarterly operating statements for the Property, within forty-five
(45) days after the end of each March, June, September and December commencing
with March, 2006;
(d) annual balance sheets for the Property and annual financial
statements for Borrower, each principal or general partner in Borrower, and each
Guarantor, within ninety (90) days after the end of each calendar year; and
(e) such other information with respect to the Property, Borrower, the
principals or general partners in Borrower, and each Guarantor, which may be
reasonably requested from time to time by Lender, within a reasonable time after
the applicable request.
If any of the aforementioned materials are not furnished to Lender within the
applicable time periods or Lender is dissatisfied with the contents of any of
the foregoing and has notified Borrower of its dissatisfaction, in addition to
any other rights and remedies of Lender contained herein, (i) Borrower shall pay
to Lender upon demand, at Lender's option and in its sole discretion, an amount
equal to $1,000 for each of the aforementioned materials that is not delivered
in accordance with the income tax basis of accounting, provided Lender has given
Borrower at least 30
days prior written notice of such failure, and (ii) Lender shall have the right,
but not the obligation, to obtain the same by means of an audit by an
independent certified public accountant selected by Lender, in which event
Borrower agrees to pay, or to reimburse Lender for, any reasonable expense of
such audit and further agrees to provide all reasonably necessary information to
said accountant and to otherwise cooperate in the making of such audit.
Within sixty (60) days after the occurrence of a Cash Management Trigger, and
not later than sixty (60) days prior to the commencement of each Fiscal Year
thereafter until a Cash Management Termination Event shall have occurred,
Borrower shall submit to Lender an Annual Budget in form reasonably satisfactory
to Lender. The Annual Budget shall be subject to Lender's written approval (each
such approved Annual Budget, an "Approved Annual Budget"). In the event that
Lender objects to a proposed Annual Budget submitted by Borrower, Lender shall
advise Borrower of such objections within fifteen (15) days after receipt
thereof (and deliver to Borrower a reasonably detailed description of such
objections) and Borrower shall promptly revise such Annual Budget and resubmit
the same to Lender. Lender shall advise Borrower of any objections to such
revised Annual Budget within ten (10) days after receipt thereof (and deliver to
Borrower a reasonably detailed description of such objections) and Borrower
shall promptly revise the same in accordance with the process described in this
subsection until Lender approves the Annual Budget. Until such time that Lender
approves a proposed Annual Budget, the most recently Approved Annual Budget
shall apply; provided that, such Approved Annual Budget shall be adjusted to
reflect actual increases in Taxes, Insurance Premiums and Other Charges. In the
event that, Borrower must incur an extraordinary operating expense or capital
expense not set forth in the Approved Annual Budget (each an "Extraordinary
Expense"), then Borrower shall promptly deliver to Lender a reasonably detailed
explanation of such proposed Extraordinary Expense for Lender's approval.
5.1.12 BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS. Borrower will continue to engage in
the businesses presently conducted by it as and to the extent the same are

subject only to Liens permitted hereunder (including Permitted Encumbrances), in
each case against the claims of all Persons whomsoever. Borrower shall reimburse
Lender for any losses, costs, damages or expenses (including reasonable
attorneys' fees and court costs) incurred by Lender if an interest in the
Property, other than as permitted hereunder, is claimed by another Person.

prior to or subsequent to the Mortgage in which proceeding Lender is made a
party, or (c) of the bankruptcy, insolvency, rehabilitation or other similar

may be levied against such personal property shall be assessed or levied or
charged to such real property portion of the Property.
5.1.20 LEASING MATTERS. Any Leases with respect to the Property
written after the date hereof, for more than 5,000 square feet shall be approved
by Lender, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or
delayed. Upon request, Borrower shall furnish Lender with executed copies of all
Leases. All renewals of Leases and all proposed Leases shall provide for rental
rates comparable to existing local market rates. All proposed Leases shall be on
commercially reasonable terms and shall not contain any terms which would
materially affect Lender's rights under the Loan Documents. All Leases executed
after the date hereof shall provide that they are subordinate to the Mortgage
and that the lessee agrees to attorn to Lender or any purchaser at a sale by
foreclosure or power of sale. Borrower (i) shall observe and perform the
obligations imposed upon the lessor under the Leases in a commercially
reasonable manner; (ii) shall enforce and may amend or terminate the terms,
covenants and conditions contained in the Leases upon the part of the lessee
thereunder to be observed or performed in a commercially reasonable manner and
in a manner not to impair the value of the Property involved except that no
termination by Borrower or acceptance of surrender by a tenant of any Leases
shall be permitted unless by reason of a tenant default and then only in a
commercially reasonable manner to preserve and protect the Property; provided,
however, that no such termination or surrender of any Lease covering more than

time to time reasonably require. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, Borrower shall not enter into a lease of all or substantially
all of the Property without Lender's prior written consent. Borrower shall
provide Lender, at least ten (10) Business Days prior notice for the approval or
rejection of any proposed Lease demising over 5,000 square feet (each a
"Material Lease"). Each such request shall include the notation "IMMEDIATE
RESPONSE REQUIRED" prominently displayed in bold, all caps and fourteen (14)
point or larger font at the top of the first page of the Material Lease approval
request and the envelope containing such request. In
the event that Lender fails to respond within such time period, Borrower shall
submit a second approval request to which Lender shall respond within five (5)
Business Days. If Lender fails to respond to such second notice within such
period, such failure shall be deemed to be the consent and approval of the
Material Lease by Lender if (I) Borrower has delivered to Lender all required
documents and information necessary to adequately and completely evaluate the
Material Lease, (II) Borrower has resubmitted the Material Lease with the
notation "IMMEDIATE RESPONSE REQUIRED, FAILURE TO RESPOND TO THIS LEASE APPROVAL
REQUEST WITHIN FIVE (5) BUSINESS DAYS FROM RECEIPT SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE
LENDER'S APPROVAL OF THE LEASE" prominently displayed in bold, all caps and
fourteen (14) point or larger font at the top of the first page of the Material
Lease approval request and the envelope containing such request, and (III) the
proposed tenant (or its parent if such parent guarantees the tenant's
obligations under such proposed Lease) shall have a credit rating issued by
Standard and Poor's of BB or better (or an equivalent rating issued by another
nationally recognized rating agency reasonably acceptable to Lender).
5.1.21 ALTERATIONS. Borrower shall obtain Lender's prior written
consent to any alterations to any Improvements, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed except with respect to alterations that may
have a material adverse effect on Borrower's financial condition, the value of
the Property or the Net Operating Income. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Lender's consent shall not be required in connection with (a) tenant improvement
work performed pursuant to the terms of any Lease executed on or before the date
hereof, (b) tenant improvement work performed pursuant to the terms of any Lease
executed after the date hereof, provided that such Lease shall satisfy the
requirements of Section 5.1.20, or (c) alterations performed in connection with
the Restoration of the Property after the occurrence of a Casualty or
Condemnation in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement, and
in the case of clause (c), provided such alterations will not have a material
adverse effect on Borrower's financial condition, the value of the Property or
the Net Operating Income. If the total unpaid amounts due and payable with
respect to alterations to the Improvements at the Property (other than such
amounts to be paid or reimbursed by tenants under the Leases) shall at any time
exceed One Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($100,000.00) (the "Threshold
Amount"), Borrower shall promptly deliver to Lender as security for the payment
of such amounts and as additional security for Borrower's obligations under the
Loan Documents any of the following: (A) cash, (B) U.S. Obligations, (C) other
securities having a rating acceptable to Lender and that the applicable Rating
Agencies have confirmed in writing will not, in and of itself, result in a
downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the initial, or, if higher, then
current ratings assigned to any Securities or any class thereof in connection
with any Securitization or (D) a completion and performance bond or an
irrevocable letter of credit (payable on sight draft only) issued by a financial
institution having a rating by S&P of not less than "A-1+" if the term of such
bond or letter of credit is no longer than three (3) months or, if such term is
in excess of three (3) months, issued by a financial institution having a rating
that is acceptable to Lender and that the applicable Rating Agencies have
confirmed in writing will not, in and of itself, result in a downgrade,
withdrawal or qualification of the initial, or, if higher, then current ratings
assigned to any Securities or class thereof in connection with any
Securitization. Such security shall be in an amount equal to the excess of the
total unpaid amounts with respect to alterations to the Improvements on the
Property (other than such amounts to be paid or reimbursed by tenants under the
Leases) over the Threshold Amount and Lender may apply such security from time
to time at the option of Lender to pay for such alterations.
5.1.22 OPERATION OF PROPERTY.
(a) Borrower shall cause the Property to be operated, in all material
respects, in accordance with the Leases and Management Agreement (or Replacement
Management Agreement) as applicable. In the event that the Management Agreement
expires or the Property is removed from the application of the Management
Agreement (without limiting any obligation of Borrower to obtain Lender's
consent to any removal of the Property from the application of the Management
Agreement or modification of the Management Agreement as it relates to the
Property if required in accordance with the terms and provisions of this
Agreement), Borrower shall promptly enter into a Replacement Management
Agreement with Manager or another Qualified Manager, as applicable.
(b) Borrower shall: (i) promptly perform and/or observe, in all
material respects, all of the covenants and agreements required to be performed
and observed by it under the Management Agreement and do all things necessary to
preserve and to keep unimpaired its material rights thereunder; (ii) promptly
notify Lender of any material default under the Management Agreement of which it
is aware; (iii) promptly deliver to Lender a copy
of each financial statement, business plan, capital expenditures plan, notice,

the covenants and agreements required to be performed and/or observed by Manager
under the Management Agreement, in a commercially reasonable manner.

constitute property of, or are beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by
any person, entity or government subject to trade restrictions under U.S. law,
including, but not limited to, The USA PATRIOT Act (including the anti-terrorism
provisions thereof), the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, 50 U.S.C.
Sections 1701, et seq., The Trading with the Enemy Act, 50 U.S.C. App. 1 et
seq., and any Executive Orders or regulations promulgated thereunder including
those related to Specially Designated Nationals and Specially Designated Global
Terrorists, with the result that the investment in Borrower or Guarantor, as
applicable (whether directly or indirectly), is prohibited by law or the Loan
made by the Lender is in violation of law ("Embargoed Person"); (b) no Embargoed
Person has any interest of any nature whatsoever in Borrower or Guarantor, as
applicable, with the result that the investment in Borrower or Guarantor, as
applicable (whether directly or indirectly), is prohibited by law or the Loan is
in violation of law; and (c) none of the funds of Borrower or Guarantor, as
applicable, have been derived from, or are the proceeds of, any unlawful
activity, including money laundering, terrorism or terrorism activities, with
the result that the investment in Borrower or Guarantor, as applicable (whether
directly or indirectly), is prohibited by law or the Loan is in violation of
law, or may cause the Property to be subject to forfeiture or seizure.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to the direct and indirect interests
in ▇▇▇▇ Credit Property Trust, Inc. or ▇▇▇▇ Credit Property Trust II, Inc.,
Borrower shall be permitted to rely exclusively on the implementation by its
broker-dealer network of the normal and customary investor screening practices
mandated by applicable law and NASD regulations in satisfaction of the foregoing
covenant. [subject to Bear's internal review]

5.2.10 TRANSFERS.
(a) Borrower acknowledges that Lender has examined and relied on the
experience of Borrower and its stockholders, general partners, members,
principals and (if Borrower is a trust) beneficial owners in owning and
operating properties such as the Property in agreeing to make the Loan, and will
continue to rely on Borrower's ownership of the Property as a means of
maintaining the value of the Property as security for repayment of the Debt and
the performance of the Other Obligations. Borrower acknowledges that Lender has
a valid interest in maintaining the value of the Property so as to ensure that,
should Borrower default in the repayment of the Debt or the performance of the
Other Obligations, Lender can recover the Debt by a sale of the Property.
(b) Without the prior written consent of Lender, and except to the
extent otherwise set forth in this Section 5.2.10, Borrower shall not, and shall
not permit any Restricted Party do any of the following (collectively, a
"Transfer"): (i) sell, convey, mortgage, grant, bargain, encumber, pledge,
assign, grant options with respect to, or otherwise transfer or dispose of
(directly or indirectly, voluntarily or involuntarily, by operation of law or
otherwise, and whether or not for consideration or of record) the Property or
any part thereof or any legal or beneficial interest therein or (ii) permit a
Sale or Pledge of an interest in any Restricted Party, other than (A) pursuant
to Leases of space in the Improvements to tenants in accordance with the
provisions of Section 5.1.20 and (B) Permitted Transfers.
(c) A Transfer shall include, but not be limited to, (i) an
installment sales agreement wherein Borrower agrees to sell the Property or any
part thereof for a price to be paid in installments; (ii) an agreement by
Borrower leasing all or a substantial part of the Property for other than actual
occupancy by a space tenant thereunder or a sale, assignment or other transfer
of, or the grant of a security interest in, Borrower's right, title and interest
in and to any Leases or any Rents; (iii) if a Restricted Party is a corporation
or trust, the sale, conveyance, transfer, disposition, alienation, hypothecation
or encumbering of more than 10% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of
such Restricted Party (or the issuance of new shares of capital stock in such
Restricted Party so that immediately after such issuance (in one or a series of
transactions) the total capital stock then issued and outstanding is more than
110% of the total immediately prior to such issuance); (iv) if a Restricted
Party is a limited or general partnership or joint venture, a change in the
ownership interests in any general partner or any joint venturer, either
voluntarily, involuntarily or otherwise, or the sale, conveyance, transfer,
disposition, alienation, hypothecation or encumbering of all or any portion of
the interest of any such general partner or joint venturer (whether in the form
of a beneficial, membership or partnership interest or in the form of a power of
direction, control or management, or otherwise); or (v) if a Restricted Party is
a limited liability company, a change in the ownership interests in any managing
member, either voluntarily, involuntarily or otherwise, or the sale, conveyance,
transfer, disposition, alienation, hypothecation or encumbering of all or any
portion of the interest of any such managing member (whether in the form of a
beneficial, membership or partnership interest or in the form of a power of
direction, control or management, or otherwise).
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, (i) limited partnership
interests in any Restricted Party shall be freely transferable without the
consent of Lender, (ii) any involuntary transfer caused by the death of any
Restricted Party or any general partner, shareholder, joint venturer, manager,
member or beneficial owner of a trust shall not be an Event of Default so long
as Borrower is reconstituted, if required, following such death and so long as
those persons responsible for the management of the Property and Borrower remain
unchanged as a result of such death or any replacement management is approved by
Lender, (iii) gifts for estate planning purposes of any individual's interests
in any Restricted Party to the spouse or any lineal descendant of such
individual, or to a trust for the benefit of any one or more of such individual,
spouse or lineal descendant, shall not be an Event of Default so long as
Borrower is reconstituted, if required, following such gift and so long as those
persons responsible for the management of the Property and Borrower remain
unchanged following such gift or any replacement management is approved by
Lender, and (iv) membership interests in any Restricted Party and interests in
any member of any Restricted Party (collectively, "Permitted Transfers") may be
transferred to any Affiliate of a Restricted Party without the consent of
Lender, provided that, at all times, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇ or ▇▇▇▇ Credit Property
Trust II, Inc. must continue to Control Borrower and Guarantor.

time other than the period commencing ninety (90) days prior to a Securitization
and ending thirty (30) days after such Securitization, Lender shall not withhold

materially increase the obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents or
materially decrease the rights of Borrower under the Loan Documents;
(x) If required by Lender, Transferee shall be approved by the Rating
Agencies selected by Lender, which approval, if required by Lender, shall
take the form of a confirmation in writing from such Rating Agencies to the
effect that such Transfer will not result in a qualification, reduction,
downgrade or withdrawal of the ratings in effect immediately prior to such
assumption or transfer for the Securities or any class thereof issued in
connection with a Securitization which are then outstanding;
(xi) Intentionally omitted;
(xii) Prior to any release of Guarantor, one (1) or more substitute

exceptions or liens other than those contained in the Title Insurance

not limited to, loss caused by any type of windstorm or hail on the
Improvements and the Personal Property, (A) in an amount equal to one
hundred percent (100%) of the "Full Replacement Cost," which for purposes

outstanding principal balance of the Loan; (B) containing an agreed amount
endorsement with respect to the Improvements and Personal Property waiving
all co-insurance provisions or to be written on a no co-insurance form; (C)

earthquake and (D) if any of the Improvements or the use of the Property
shall at any time constitute legal non-conforming structures or uses,
coverage for loss due to operation of law in an amount equal to the full
Replacement Cost, coverage for demolition costs and coverage for increased
costs of construction. In addition, Borrower shall obtain: (x) if any
portion of the Improvements is currently or at any time in the future

after the date of the Casualty; and (D) containing an extended period of
indemnity endorsement which provides that after the physical loss to the
Improvements and Personal Property has been repaired, the continued loss of
income will be insured until such income either returns to the same level
it was at prior to the loss, or the expiration of six (6) months from the
date that the Property is repaired or replaced and operations are resumed,
whichever first occurs, and notwithstanding that the policy may expire
prior to the end of such period. The amount of such business income
insurance shall be determined prior to the date hereof and at least once
each year thereafter based on Borrower's reasonable estimate of the gross
revenues from the Property for the succeeding twelve (12) month period.
Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.7.1 hereof, all proceeds
payable to Lender pursuant to this subsection shall be held by Lender and
shall be applied to the obligations secured by the Loan Documents from time
to time due and payable hereunder and under the Note; provided, however,
that nothing herein contained shall be deemed to relieve Borrower of its
obligations to pay the obligations secured by the Loan Documents on the
respective dates of payment provided for in this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents except to the extent such amounts are actually paid out of
the proceeds of such business income insurance;
(iii) at all times during which structural construction, repairs or

($2,000,000.00) in the aggregate and One Million and 00/100 Dollars
($1,000,000.00) per occurrence; (B) to continue at not less than the

supplemental coverage for employer liability and automobile liability,
which umbrella liability coverage shall apply in excess of the automobile
liability coverage in clause (vi) above;
(ix) If the policy or policies of insurance covering the risks
required to be covered under Section 6.1(a) do not provide coverage for
acts of terrorism, Borrower shall make commercially reasonable efforts to
obtain and maintain a separate policy providing such coverages in the event
of any act of
terrorism, provided such coverage is available for properties similar to
the Property and located in or around the region in which the Property is
located; and
(x) upon sixty (60) days written notice, such other reasonable
insurance, including, but not limited to, sinkhole or land subsidence
insurance, and in such reasonable amounts as Lender from time to time may
reasonably request against such other insurable hazards which at the time
are commonly insured against for property similar to the Property located
in or around the region in which the Property is located.
(b) All insurance provided for in Section 6.1(a) hereof, shall be
obtained under valid and enforceable policies (collectively, the "Policies" or
in the singular, the "Policy"), and shall be subject to the approval of Lender
as to insurance companies, amounts, deductibles, loss payees and insureds. The
Policies shall be issued by financially sound and responsible insurance
companies authorized to do business in the State and having a claims paying
ability rating of "A-" or better (and the equivalent thereof) by at least two
(2) of the Rating Agencies rating the Securities (one (1) of which shall be S&P
if they are rating the Securities and one (1) of which will be Moody's if they
are rating the Securities), or if only one (1) Rating Agency is rating the
Securities, then only by such Rating Agency. The Policies described in Section
6.1 hereof (other than those strictly limited to liability protection) shall
designate Lender as loss payee. Not less than ten (10) days prior to the
expiration dates of the Policies theretofore furnished to Lender, certificates
of insurance evidencing the Policies accompanied by evidence satisfactory to
Lender of payment of the premiums due thereunder (the "Insurance Premiums"),
shall be delivered by Borrower to Lender.
(c) Any blanket insurance Policy shall specifically allocate to the
Property the amount of coverage from time to time required hereunder and shall
otherwise provide the same protection as would a separate Policy insuring only
the Property in compliance with the provisions of Section 6.1(a) hereof.
(d) All Policies provided for or contemplated by Section 6.1(a)
hereof, except for the Policy referenced in Section 6.1(a)(vii) of this
Agreement, shall name Borrower as the insured and Lender as the additional
insured, as its interests may appear, and in the case of property damage, boiler
and machinery, flood and earthquake insurance, shall contain a so-called New
York standard non-contributing mortgagee clause in favor of Lender providing
that the loss thereunder shall be payable to Lender.
(e) All Policies shall contain clauses or endorsements to the effect
that:
(i) no act or negligence of Borrower, or anyone acting for Borrower,
or of any tenant or other occupant, or failure to comply with the
provisions of any Policy, which might otherwise result in a forfeiture of
the insurance or any part thereof, shall in any way affect the validity or
enforceability of the insurance insofar as Lender is concerned;
(ii) the Policy shall not be materially changed (other than to
increase the coverage provided thereby) or canceled without at least thirty
(30) days written notice to Lender and any other party named therein as an
additional insured;
(iii) the issuers thereof shall give written notice to Lender if the
Policy has not been renewed thirty (30) days prior to its expiration; and
(iv) Lender shall not be liable for any Insurance Premiums thereon or
subject to any assessments thereunder.
(f) If at any time Lender is not in receipt of written evidence that
all insurance required hereunder is in full force and effect, Lender shall have
the right, without notice to Borrower, to take such action as Lender deems
necessary to protect its interest in the Property, including, without
limitation, the obtaining of such insurance coverage as Lender in its sole
discretion deems appropriate after three (3) Business Days notice to Borrower if
prior to the date upon which any such coverage will lapse or at any time Lender
deems necessary (regardless of prior notice to Borrower) to avoid the lapse of
any such coverage. All premiums incurred by Lender
in connection with such action or in obtaining such insurance and keeping it in
effect shall be paid by Borrower to Lender upon demand and, until paid, shall be
secured by the Mortgage and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.
(g) To the extent that any portion of the Improvements consisting of
an entire building separate in all respects from any other building comprising
part of the Improvements is occupied by a single tenant, and such tenant
provides insurance satisfying the requirements hereof with respect to such
Improvements (including, without limitation, naming Lender as an additional
insured or loss payee, as applicable), such insurance shall satisfy Borrower's
obligations hereunder. In addition, provided no default shall exist under such
tenant's Lease, and further provided that such tenant (or the corporate
guarantor of such tenant's Lease) shall maintain a credit rating issued by
Standard and Poor's of BB or better (or an equivalent rating issued by another
nationally recognized rating agency reasonably acceptable to Lender), such
tenant shall be permitted to self-insure in accordance with its Lease with
respect to the coverage required hereunder, and such self-insurance shall be
deemed to satisfy the requirements hereof. Lender acknowledges that the
insurance in place as of the date hereof, as evidenced by the certificates of
insurance provided by Borrower and each tenant in connection with the closing of
the Loan, shall be deemed to satisfy the foregoing requirements as in effect on
the date hereof.
SECTION 6.2 CASUALTY. If the Property shall be damaged or destroyed, in
whole or in part, by fire or other casualty (a "Casualty"), Borrower shall give
prompt notice of such damage to Lender and shall promptly commence and
diligently prosecute the completion of the Restoration of the Property pursuant
to Section 6.4 hereof as nearly as possible to the condition the Property was in
immediately prior to such Casualty, with such alterations as may be reasonably
approved by Lender and otherwise in accordance with Section 6.4 hereof. Borrower
shall pay (or cause to be paid) all costs of such Restoration whether or not
such costs are covered by insurance. Lender may, but shall not be obligated to
make proof of loss if not made promptly by Borrower. In addition, Lender may
participate in any settlement discussions with any insurance companies (and
shall approve the final settlement, which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed) with respect to any Casualty in which the Net Proceeds or
the costs of completing the Restoration are equal to or greater than One Hundred
Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($100,000.00) and Borrower shall deliver to Lender
all instruments required by Lender to permit such participation.
SECTION 6.3 CONDEMNATION. Borrower shall promptly give Lender notice of the
actual or threatened commencement of any proceeding for the Condemnation of the
Property and shall deliver to Lender copies of any and all papers served in
connection with such proceedings. Lender may participate in any such
proceedings, and Borrower shall from time to time deliver to Lender all
instruments requested by it to permit such participation. Borrower shall, at its
expense, diligently prosecute any such proceedings, and shall consult with
Lender, its attorneys and experts, and cooperate with them in the carrying on or
defense of any such proceedings. Notwithstanding any taking by any public or
quasi-public authority through Condemnation or otherwise (including, but not
limited to, any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of the exercise of
such taking), Borrower shall continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the
manner provided for its payment in the Note and in this Agreement and the Debt
shall not be reduced until any Award shall have been actually received and
applied by Lender, after the deduction of expenses of collection, to the
reduction or discharge of the Debt. Lender shall not be limited to the interest
paid on the Award by the condemning authority but shall be entitled to receive
out of the Award interest at the rate or rates provided herein or in the Note.
If any portion of the Property is taken by a condemning authority, Borrower
shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the Restoration of the Property
pursuant to Section 6.4 hereof and otherwise comply with the provisions of
Section 6.4 hereof. If the Property is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise,
prior to the receipt by Lender of the Award, Lender shall have the right,
whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Note shall have been sought,
recovered or denied, to receive the Award, or a portion thereof sufficient to
pay the Debt.

with the Restoration of the Property:

proceeds received by Lender pursuant to Section 6.1 (a)(i), (iv), (ix) and (x)
as a result of such damage or destruction, after deduction of its reasonable
costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable counsel fees), if
any, in collecting same ("Insurance Proceeds"), or (ii) the net amount of the
Award, after deduction of its reasonable costs and expenses (including, but not
limited to, reasonable counsel fees), if any, in collecting same ("Condemnation

Restoration provided that each of the following conditions are met:
(A) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;
(B) (1) in the event the Net Proceeds are Insurance Proceeds,

perimeter or periphery of the Property, and no material portion of the
Improvements is located on such land;
(C) Intentionally omitted;

Condemnation, as applicable, or (4) the expiration of the insurance
coverage referred to in Section 6.1(a)(ii) hereof;
(G) the Property and the use thereof after the Restoration will
be in material compliance with and permitted under all applicable Legal
Requirements;

required to deposit any cash or cash equivalent with Lender if the Net
Proceeds and the costs of completing the Restoration are each less than One
Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($100,000.00) and the conditions in the
preceding subsections (A) through (K) shall be satisfied).
(ii) The Net Proceeds shall be held by Lender in an interest-bearing
account and, until disbursed in accordance with the provisions of this
Section 6.4(b), shall constitute additional security for the Debt and Other
Obligations under the Loan Documents. The Net Proceeds shall be disbursed

course of the Restoration, upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to Lender
that (A) all materials installed and work and labor performed (except to
the extent that they are to be paid for out of the requested disbursement)
in connection with the Restoration have been paid for in full, and (B)
there exist no notices of pendency, stop orders, mechanic's or
materialman's liens or notices of intention to file same, or any other
liens or encumbrances of any nature whatsoever on the Property which have
not either been fully bonded to the satisfaction of Lender or discharged of
record or in the alternative fully insured to the satisfaction of Lender by
the title company issuing the Title Insurance Policy.
(iii) All plans and specifications required in connection with the

acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. All
reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with making
the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration including, without
limitation, reasonable counsel fees and disbursements and the Casualty
Consultant's reasonable fees, shall be paid by Borrower.
(iv) In no event shall Lender be obligated to make disbursements of
the Net Proceeds in excess of an amount equal to the costs actually
incurred from time to time for work in place as part of the Restoration, as
certified by the Casualty Consultant, minus the Casualty Retainage. The
term "Casualty Retainage" shall ----- mean an amount equal to ten percent
(10%) of the costs actually incurred for work in place as part of the
Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, until the Restoration
has been completed. The Casualty Retainage shall in no event, and
notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above in this Section
6.4(b), be less than the amount actually held back by Borrower from
contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration. The
Casualty Retainage shall not be released until the Casualty Consultant
certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance
with the provisions of this Section 6.4(b) and that all approvals necessary
for the re-occupancy and use of the Property have been obtained from all
appropriate governmental and quasi-governmental authorities, and Lender
receives evidence satisfactory to Lender that the costs of the Restoration
have been paid in full or will be paid in full out of the Casualty
Retainage; provided, however, that Lender will release the portion of the
Casualty Retainage being held with respect to any contractor, subcontractor
or materialman engaged in the Restoration as of the date upon which the
Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the contractor, subcontractor
or materialman has satisfactorily completed all work and has supplied all
materials in accordance with the provisions of the contractor's,
subcontractor's or materialman's contract, the contractor, subcontractor or
materialman delivers the lien waivers and evidence of payment in full of
all sums due to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman as may be
reasonably requested by Lender or by the title company issuing the Title
Insurance Policy, and Lender receives an endorsement to the Title Insurance
Policy insuring the continued priority of the lien of the Mortgage and
evidence of payment of any premium payable for such endorsement. If
required by Lender, the release of any such portion of the
Casualty Retainage shall be approved by the surety company, if any, which
has issued a payment or performance bond with respect to the contractor,
subcontractor or materialman.
(v) Lender shall not be obligated to make disbursements of the Net
Proceeds more frequently than once every calendar month.
(vi) If at any time the Net Proceeds or the undisbursed balance
thereof shall not, in the opinion of Lender in consultation with the
Casualty Consultant, be sufficient to pay in full the balance of the costs
which are estimated by the Casualty Consultant to be incurred in connection
with the completion of the Restoration, Borrower shall deposit the
deficiency (the "Net Proceeds Deficiency") with Lender before any further
disbursement of the Net Proceeds shall be made. The Net Proceeds Deficiency
deposited with Lender shall be held by Lender and shall be disbursed for
costs actually incurred in connection with the Restoration on the same
conditions applicable to the disbursement of the Net Proceeds, and until so
disbursed pursuant to this Section 6.4(b) shall constitute additional
security for the Debt and Other Obligations under the Loan Documents.
(vii) The excess, if any, of the Net Proceeds (and the remaining
balance, if any, of the Net Proceeds Deficiency) deposited with Lender
after the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has
been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4(b),
and the receipt by Lender of evidence satisfactory to Lender that all costs
incurred in connection with the Restoration have been paid in full, shall
be delivered to Borrower; provided that, if a Cash Management Trigger has
occurred and no Cash Management Termination Event has occurred with respect
thereto, the excess shall be deposited into the Cash Management Account and
shall be disbursed in accordance with the terms hereof, provided no Event
of Default shall have occurred and shall be continuing under the Note, this
Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.
(c) All Net Proceeds not required (i) to be made available for the
Restoration or (ii) to be deposited into the Cash Management Account as excess
Net Proceeds pursuant to Section 6.4(b)(vii) hereof may be retained and applied
by Lender toward the payment of the Debt in accordance with Section 2.4.2
hereof, or, at the discretion of Lender, the same may be paid, either in whole
or in part, to Borrower for such purposes as Lender shall approve, in its
discretion.
(d) In the event of foreclosure of the Mortgage, or other transfer of
title to the Property in extinguishment in whole or in part of the Debt all
right, title and interest of Borrower in and to the Policies that are not
blanket Policies then in force concerning the Property (other than to the extent
those Policies provide liability coverages to Borrower) and all proceeds payable
thereunder shall thereupon vest in the purchaser at such foreclosure or Lender
or other transferee in the event of such other transfer of title.
(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.4, to
the extent the lease agreements with Hobby Lobby and Sam's Club remain in effect
and each such tenant remains liable for the obligations under its respective
Lease, the disposition of any Casualty insurance proceeds and any Award shall be
governed by such leases.
VII. RESERVE FUNDS
SECTION 7.1 REQUIRED REPAIRS.
7.1.1 DEPOSITS. Borrower shall perform or cause to be performed the
repairs at the Property, as more particularly set forth on Schedule II hereto
(such repairs hereinafter referred to as "Required Repairs"). Borrower shall
complete the Required Repairs on or before the required deadline for each repair
as set forth on Schedule II. It shall be an Event of Default under this
Agreement if Borrower does not complete the Required Repairs at the Property by
the required deadline for each repair as set forth on Schedule II, provided,
that if such repair cannot reasonably be completed by the required deadline for
such repair and Borrower has commenced such repair before the required deadline
and thereafter diligently and expeditiously proceeds to complete the same, the
required deadline shall be extended for such time as is reasonably necessary for
Borrower to complete such repair in the exercise of due diligence. Upon the
occurrence of such an Event of Default, Lender, at its option, may withdraw all
Required Repair Funds from the Required Repair Account and Lender may apply such
funds either to completion of the Required Repairs at the Property or toward
payment of the Debt in such order, proportion and priority as Lender may
determine in its sole discretion. Lender's right to withdraw and apply Required
Repair Funds shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies provided to
Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. On the Closing Date,
Borrower shall deposit with Lender the amount for the Property set forth on such
Schedule II hereto to perform the Required Repairs for the Property. Amounts so
deposited with Lender shall be held by Lender in accordance with Section 7.5
hereof. Amounts so deposited shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrower's
"Required Repair Fund" and the account in which such amounts are held shall
hereinafter be referred to as Borrower's "Required Repair Account".
7.1.2 RELEASE OF REQUIRED REPAIR FUNDS. Lender shall disburse to
Borrower the Required Repair Funds from the Required Repair Account from time to
time upon satisfaction by Borrower of each of the following conditions: (a)
Borrower shall submit a written request for payment to Lender at least fifteen
(15) days prior to the date on which Borrower requests such payment be made and
specifies the Required Repairs to be paid, (b) on the date such payment is to be
made, no Event of Default shall exist and remain uncured, (c) Lender shall have
received an Officers' Certificate (i) stating that all Required Repairs to be
funded by the requested disbursement have been completed in good and workmanlike
manner and in accordance with all applicable federal, state and local laws,
rules and regulations, such certificate to be accompanied by a copy of any
license, permit or other approval by any Governmental Authority required to
commence and/or complete the Required Repairs, (ii) identifying each Person that
supplied materials or labor in connection with the Required Repairs to be funded
by the requested disbursement, and (iii) stating that each such Person has been
paid in full or will be paid in full upon such disbursement, such Officers'
Certificate to be accompanied by lien waivers or other evidence of payment
satisfactory to Lender, (d) at Lender's option, a title search for the Property
indicating that the Property is free from all liens, claims and other
encumbrances other than Permitted Encumbrances and those previously approved by
Lender, and (e) Lender shall have received such other evidence as Lender shall
reasonably request that the Required Repairs to be funded by the requested
disbursement have been completed and are paid for or will be paid upon such
disbursement to Borrower. Lender shall not be required to make disbursements
from the Required Repair Account with respect to the Property unless such
requested disbursement is in an amount greater than Twenty-five Thousand and
00/100 Dollars ($25,000.00) (or a lesser amount if the total amount in the
Required Repair Account is less than Twenty-five Thousand and 00/100 Dollars
($25,000.00), in which case only one disbursement of the amount remaining in the
account shall be made) and such disbursement shall be made only upon
satisfaction of each condition contained in this Section 7.1.2.
SECTION 7.2 TAX AND INSURANCE ESCROW FUND. Borrower shall pay to Lender on
each Payment Date (a) one-twelfth (1/12) of the Taxes and Other Charges that
Lender estimates will be payable during the next ensuing twelve (12) months in
order to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Taxes and Other
Charges at least thirty (30) days prior to their respective due dates, and (b)
one-twelfth (1/12) of the Insurance Premiums that Lender estimates will be
payable for the renewal of the coverage afforded by the Policies upon the
expiration thereof in order to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay
all such Insurance Premiums at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of
the Policies (said amounts in (a) and (b) above hereinafter called the "Tax and
Insurance Escrow Fund"). The Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund and the Monthly Debt
Service Payment Amount, shall be added together and shall be paid as an
aggregate sum by Borrower to Lender. Lender will apply the Tax and Insurance
Escrow Fund to payments of Taxes and Insurance Premiums required to be made by
Borrower pursuant to Sections 5.1.2 and 6.1 hereof and under the Mortgage. In
making any payment relating to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund, Lender may do
so according to any ▇▇▇▇, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate
public office (with respect to Taxes) or insurer or agent (with respect to
Insurance Premiums), without inquiry into the accuracy of such ▇▇▇▇, statement
or estimate or into the validity of any tax, assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax
lien or title or claim thereof. If the amount of the Tax and Insurance Escrow
Fund shall exceed the amounts due for Taxes, Other Charges and Insurance
Premiums pursuant to Sections 5.1.2 and 6.1 hereof, Lender shall, in its sole
discretion, return any excess to Borrower or credit such excess against future
payments to be made to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund. Any amount remaining
in the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund after the Debt has been paid in full shall
be returned to Borrower. If at any time Lender reasonably determines that the
Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund is not or will not be sufficient to pay Taxes,
Other Charges and Insurance Premiums by the dates set forth in (a) and
(b) above, Lender shall notify Borrower of such determination and Borrower shall
increase its monthly payments to Lender by the amount that Lender estimates is
sufficient to make up the deficiency at least thirty (30) days prior to the due
date of the Taxes and Other Charges and/or thirty (30) days prior to expiration
of the Policies, as the case may be.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, provided no Event of Default shall exist, in
the event that Borrower provides (1) evidence satisfactory to Lender that the
Property is insured in accordance with Section 6.1 of this Agreement, and (2)
evidence satisfactory to Lender that the Taxes and Other Charges for the
Property have been paid in accordance with the requirements set forth in this
Agreement, Lender waives the requirement set forth herein for Borrower to make
deposits into the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund for the payment of Insurance
Premiums and for payment of Taxes and Other Charges, provided, however, Lender
expressly reserves the right to require Borrower to make deposits to the Tax and
Insurance Escrow Fund for the payment of Insurance Premiums and/or for payment
of Taxes and Other Charges if an Event of Default shall exist, or Borrower fails
to provide to Lender evidence that the Property is insured in accordance with
Section 6.1 of this Agreement or that Taxes and Other Charges have been paid in
accordance with the requirements of this Agreement, in either case, within ten
(10) days of Lender's request.
SECTION 7.3 REPLACEMENTS AND REPLACEMENT RESERVE.
7.3.1 REPLACEMENT RESERVE FUND. Borrower shall pay to Lender on each
Payment Date one-twelfth (1/12) of an annualized amount equal to $0.15 per gross
leaseable square foot at the Property (the "Replacement Reserve Monthly
Deposit") reasonably estimated by Lender in its sole discretion to be due for
replacements and repairs required to be made to the Property during the calendar
year (collectively, the "Replacements"). Amounts so deposited shall hereinafter
be referred to as Borrower's "Replacement Reserve Fund" and the account in which
such amounts are held shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrower's
"Replacement Reserve Account". Lender may reassess its estimate of the amount
necessary for the Replacement Reserve Fund from time to time, and may increase
the monthly amounts required to be deposited into the Replacement Reserve Fund
upon thirty (30) days notice to Borrower if Lender determines in its reasonable
discretion that an increase is necessary to maintain the proper maintenance and
operation of the Property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, provided no Event of
Default shall exist, in the event that Lender determines, in its reasonable
discretion, that the Property is being maintained at a standard required under
any applicable Lease and consistent with similar properties owned by other
national retail property owners operating in the market in which the Property is
located, Lender waives the requirement set forth herein for Borrower to make the
Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposit, provided, however, Lender expressly
reserves the right to require Borrower to make the Replacement Reserve Monthly
Deposit if an Event of Default shall exist, or Lender determines that the
Property is not being so maintained.
7.3.2 DISBURSEMENTS FROM REPLACEMENT RESERVE ACCOUNT.
(a) Lender shall make disbursements from the Replacement Reserve
Account to pay Borrower only for the costs of the Replacements. Lender shall not
be obligated to make disbursements from the Replacement Reserve Account to
reimburse Borrower for the costs of routine maintenance to the Property,
replacements of inventory or for costs which are to be reimbursed from the
Required Repair Fund.
(b) Lender shall, upon written request from Borrower and satisfaction
of the requirements set forth in this Section 7.3.2, disburse to Borrower
amounts from the Replacement Reserve Account necessary to pay for the actual
approved costs of Replacements or to reimburse Borrower therefor, upon
completion of such Replacements (or, upon partial completion in the case of
Replacements made pursuant to Section 7.3.2(e) hereof) as determined by Lender.
In no event shall Lender be obligated to disburse funds from the Replacement
Reserve Account if a Default or Event of Default exists.
(c) Each request for disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account
shall be in a form specified or approved by Lender and shall specify (i) the
specific Replacements for which the disbursement is requested, (ii) the quantity
and price of each item purchased, if the Replacement includes the purchase or
replacement of specific items, (iii) the price of all materials (grouped by type
or category) used in any Replacement
other than the purchase or replacement of specific items, and (iv) the cost of
all contracted labor or other services applicable to each Replacement for which
such request for disbursement is made. With each request Borrower shall certify
that all Replacements have been made in accordance with all applicable Legal
Requirements of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the
Property. Each request for disbursement shall include copies of invoices for all
items or materials purchased and all contracted labor or services provided and,
unless Lender has agreed to issue joint checks as described below in connection
with a particular Replacement, each request shall include evidence satisfactory
to Lender of payment of all such amounts. Except as provided in Section 7.3.2(e)
hereof, each request for disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account shall
be made only after completion of the Replacement for which disbursement is
requested. Borrower shall provide Lender evidence of completion of the subject
Replacement satisfactory to Lender in its reasonable judgment.
(d) Borrower shall pay all invoices in connection with the
Replacements with respect to which a disbursement is requested prior to
submitting such request for disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account
or, at the request of Borrower, Lender will issue joint checks, payable to
Borrower and the contractor, supplier, materialman, mechanic, subcontractor or
other party to whom payment is due in connection with a Replacement. In the case
of payments made by joint check, Lender may require a waiver of lien from each
Person receiving payment prior to Lender's disbursement from the Replacement
Reserve Account. In addition, as a condition to any disbursement, Lender may
require Borrower to obtain lien waivers from each contractor, supplier,
materialman, mechanic or subcontractor who receives payment in an amount equal
to or greater than Twenty-five Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($25,000.00) for
completion of its work or delivery of its materials. Any lien waiver delivered
hereunder shall conform to the requirements of applicable law and shall cover
all work performed and materials supplied (including equipment and fixtures) for
the Property by that contractor, supplier, subcontractor, mechanic or
materialman through the date covered by the current reimbursement request (or,
in the event that payment to such contractor, supplier, subcontractor, mechanic
or materialmen is to be made by a joint check, the release of lien shall be
effective through the date covered by the previous release of funds request).
(e) If (i) the cost of a Replacement exceeds Twenty-five Thousand and
00/100 Dollars ($25,000.00), (ii) the contractor performing such Replacement
requires periodic payments pursuant to terms of a written contract, and (iii)
Lender has approved in writing in advance such periodic payments (such approval
not to be unreasonably, withheld, delayed or conditioned), a request for
reimbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account may be made after completion
of a portion of the work under such contract, provided (A) such contract
requires payment upon completion of such portion of the work, (B) the materials
for which the request is made are on site at the Property and are properly
secured or have been installed in the Property, (C) all other conditions in this
Agreement for disbursement have been satisfied, (D) funds remaining in the
Replacement Reserve Account are, in Lender's judgment, sufficient to complete
such Replacement and other Replacements when required, and (E) if required by
Lender, each contractor or subcontractor receiving payments under such contract
shall provide a waiver of lien with respect to amounts which have been paid to
that contractor or subcontractor.
(f) Borrower shall not make a request for disbursement from the
Replacement Reserve Account more frequently than once in any calendar month and
(except in connection with the final disbursement) the total cost of all
Replacements in any request shall not be less than Twenty-five Thousand and
00/100 Dollars ($25,000.00).
7.3.3 PERFORMANCE OF REPLACEMENTS.
(a) Borrower shall make or cause to be made Replacements when required
in order to keep the Property in condition and repair consistent with other
first class retail centers in the same market segment in the metropolitan area
in which the Property is located, and to keep the Property or any portion
thereof from deteriorating in any material respect. Borrower shall complete or
cause to be completed all Replacements in a good and workmanlike manner as soon
as practicable following the commencement of making each such Replacement.
(b) Lender reserves the right, at its option, to approve all contracts
or work orders with materialmen, mechanics, suppliers, subcontractors,
contractors or other parties providing labor or materials in connection with the
Replacements, such approval not to be unreasonably, withheld, delayed or
conditioned. Upon Lender's request, Borrower shall assign any contract or
subcontract to Lender.
(c) In the event Lender determines in its reasonable discretion that
any Replacement is not being performed in a workmanlike or timely manner or that
any Replacement has not been completed in a workmanlike or timely manner, Lender
shall have the option, upon prior notice to Borrower, to withhold disbursement
for such unsatisfactory Replacement and to proceed under existing contracts or
to contract with third parties to complete such Replacement and to apply the
Replacement Reserve Fund toward the labor and materials necessary to complete
such Replacement.
(d) In order to facilitate Lender's completion or making of such
Replacements pursuant to Section 7.3.3(c) above, Borrower grants Lender the
right to enter onto the Property and perform any and all work and labor
necessary to complete or make such Replacements and/or employ watchmen to
protect the Property from damage. All sums so expended by Lender, to the extent
not from the Replacement Reserve Fund, shall be deemed to have been advanced
under the Loan to Borrower and secured by the Mortgage. For this purpose
Borrower constitutes and appoints Lender its true and lawful attorney-in-fact
with full power of substitution to complete or undertake such Replacements in
the name of Borrower. Such power of attorney shall be deemed to be a power
coupled with an interest and cannot be revoked. Borrower empowers said
attorney-in-fact as follows: (i) to use any funds in the Replacement Reserve
Account for the purpose of making or completing such Replacements; (ii) to make
such additions, changes and corrections to such Replacements as shall be
necessary or desirable to complete such Replacements; (iii) to employ such
contractors, subcontractors, agents, architects and inspectors as shall be
required for such purposes; (iv) to pay, settle or compromise all existing bills
and claims which are or may become Liens against the Property, or as may be
necessary or desirable for the completion of such Replacements, or for clearance
of title; (v) to execute all applications and certificates in the name of
Borrower which may be required by any of the contract documents; (vi) to
prosecute and defend all actions or proceedings in connection with the Property
or the rehabilitation and repair of the Property; and (vii) to do any and every
act which Borrower might do in its own behalf to fulfill the terms of this
Section 7.3.
(e) Nothing in this Section 7.3.3 shall: (i) make Lender responsible
for making or completing any Replacements; (ii) require Lender to expend funds
in addition to the Replacement Reserve Fund to make or complete any Replacement;
(iii) obligate Lender to proceed with any Replacements; or (iv) obligate Lender
to demand from Borrower additional sums to make or complete any Replacement.
(f) Borrower shall permit Lender and Lender's agents and
representatives (including, without limitation, Lender's engineer, architect, or
inspector) or third parties making Replacements pursuant to this Section 7.3.3
to enter onto the Property during normal business hours (subject to the rights
of tenants under their Leases) to inspect the progress of any Replacements and
all materials being used in connection therewith, to examine all plans and shop
drawings relating to such Replacements which are or may be kept at the Property,
and to complete any Replacements made pursuant to this Section 7.3.3 if Borrower
shall fail to do so. Borrower shall cause all contractors and subcontractors to
cooperate with Lender or Lender's representatives or such other persons
described above in connection with inspections described in this Section
7.3.3(f) or the completion of Replacements pursuant to this Section 7.3.3.
(g) Lender may require an inspection of the Property at Borrower's
expense prior to making a monthly disbursement from the Replacement Reserve
Account in order to verify completion of the Replacements for which
reimbursement is sought. Lender may require that such inspection be conducted by
an appropriate independent qualified professional selected by Lender and/or may
require a copy of a certificate of completion by an independent qualified
professional acceptable to Lender prior to the disbursement of any amounts from
the Replacement Reserve Account. Borrower shall pay the reasonable expense of
the inspection as required hereunder, whether such inspection is conducted by
Lender or by an independent qualified professional.
(h) The Replacements and all materials, equipment, fixtures, or any
other item comprising a part of any Replacement shall be constructed, installed
or completed, as applicable, free and clear of all mechanic's, materialmen's or
other liens (except for those Liens which constitute Permitted Encumbrances or
which otherwise have been approved in writing by Lender).
(i) Before each disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account,
Lender may require Borrower to provide Lender with a search of title to the
Property effective to the date of the disbursement, which search shows that no
mechanic's or materialmen's liens or other liens of any nature have been placed
against the
Property since the date of recordation of the related Mortgage and that title to
the Property is free and clear of all Liens (other than the lien of the related
Mortgage, Permitted Encumbrances and any other Liens previously approved in
writing by Lender, if any).
(j) All Replacements shall comply with all applicable Legal
Requirements of all Governmental Authorities having jurisdiction over the
Property and applicable insurance requirements including, without limitation,
applicable building codes, special use permits, environmental regulations, and
requirements of insurance underwriters.
(k) In addition to any insurance required under the Loan Documents,
Borrower shall provide or cause to be provided workmen's compensation insurance,
builder's risk, and public liability insurance and other insurance to the extent
required under applicable law in connection with a particular Replacement. All
such policies shall be in form and amount reasonably satisfactory to Lender. All
such policies which can be endorsed with standard mortgagee clauses making loss
payable to Lender or its assigns shall be so endorsed. Certified copies of such
policies shall be delivered to Lender.
7.3.4 FAILURE TO MAKE REPLACEMENTS.
(a) It shall be an Event of Default under this Agreement if Borrower
fails to comply with any provision of this Section 7.3 and such failure is not
cured within thirty (30) days after notice from Lender. Upon the occurrence and
during the continuance of such an Event of Default, Lender may use the
Replacement Reserve Fund (or any portion thereof) for any purpose, including but
not limited to completion of the Replacements as provided in Section 7.3.3, or
for any other repair or replacement to the Property or toward payment of the
Debt in such order, proportion and priority as Lender may determine in its sole
discretion. Lender's right to withdraw and apply the Replacement Reserve Fund
shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies provided to Lender under
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
(b) Nothing in this Agreement shall obligate Lender to apply all or
any portion of the Replacement Reserve Fund on account of an Event of Default to
payment of the Debt or in any specific order or priority.
7.3.5 BALANCE IN THE REPLACEMENT RESERVE ACCOUNT. The insufficiency of
any balance in the Replacement Reserve Account shall not relieve Borrower from
its obligation to fulfill all preservation and maintenance covenants in the Loan
Documents.
SECTION 7.4 INTENTIONALLY OMITTED.
SECTION 7.5 RESERVE FUNDS, GENERALLY. Borrower grants to Lender a
first-priority perfected security interest in each of the Reserve Funds and any
and all monies now or hereafter deposited in each Reserve Fund as additional
security for payment of the Debt. Until expended or applied in accordance
herewith, the Reserve Funds shall constitute additional security for the Debt.
Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender
may, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies available to Lender,
apply any sums then present in any or all of the Reserve Funds to the payment of
the Debt in any order in its sole discretion. The Reserve Funds shall not
constitute trust funds and may be commingled with other monies held by Lender.
The Reserve Funds shall be held in an Eligible Account in Permitted Investments
in accordance with the terms and provisions hereof. All interest on a Reserve
Fund shall not be added to or become a part thereof and shall be the sole
property of and shall be paid to Lender. Borrower shall be responsible for
payment of any federal, state or local income or other tax applicable to the
interest earned on the Reserve Funds that is credited or paid to Borrower, if
any. Borrower shall not, without obtaining the prior written consent of Lender,
further pledge, assign or grant any security interest in any Reserve Fund or the
monies deposited therein or permit any lien or encumbrance to attach thereto, or
any levy to be made thereon, or any UCC-1 Financing Statements, except those
naming Lender as the secured party, to be filed with respect thereto. Lender
shall not be liable for any loss sustained on the investment of any funds
constituting the Reserve Funds. Borrower shall indemnify Lender and hold Lender
harmless from and against any and all actions, suits, claims, demands,
liabilities, losses, damages, obligations and costs and expenses (including
litigation costs and reasonable attorneys fees and expenses) arising from or in
any way connected with the
Reserve Funds or the performance of the obligations for which the Reserve Funds
were established, unless arising from the gross negligence, willful misconduct
or bad faith of Lender. Borrower shall assign to Lender all rights and claims
Borrower may have against all persons or entities supplying labor, materials or
other services which are to be paid from or secured by the Reserve Funds;
provided, however, that Lender may not pursue any such right or claim unless an
Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured.
VIII. DEFAULTS
SECTION 8.1 EVENT OF DEFAULT.
(a) Each of the following events shall constitute an event of default
hereunder (an "Event of Default"):

bankruptcy, reorganization or arrangement pursuant to federal bankruptcy
law, or any similar federal or state law, shall be filed by or against,
consented to, or acquiesced in by, Borrower, Guarantor or such other
guarantor, or if any proceeding for the dissolution or liquidation of
Borrower, Guarantor or such other guarantor shall be instituted; provided,

(or any Replacement Management Agreement);
(xii) if Borrower shall continue to be in Default under any of the
terms, covenants or conditions of Section 9.1 hereof, or fails to cooperate
with Lender in connection with a Securitization pursuant to the provisions

thereafter diligently and expeditiously proceeds to cure the same, such
five (5) Business Day period shall be extended for such time as is
reasonably necessary for Borrower in the exercise of due diligence to cure
such Default, such additional period not to exceed thirty (30) days;
(xiii) if Borrower shall continue to be in default under any of the
other terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement not specified in
subsections (i) to (xii) above, for ten (10) days after notice to Borrower
from Lender, in the case of any Default which can be cured by the payment
of a sum of money, or for thirty (30) days after notice from Lender in the
case of any other Default; provided, however, that if such non-monetary
Default is susceptible of cure but cannot reasonably be cured within such
thirty (30) day period and provided further that Borrower shall have
commenced to cure such Default within such thirty (30) day period and
thereafter diligently and expeditiously proceeds to cure the same, such
thirty (30) day period shall be extended for such time as is reasonably
necessary for Borrower in the exercise of due diligence to cure such
Default, such additional period not to exceed one hundred eighty (180)
days; or
(xiv) if there shall be default under any of the other Loan Documents
beyond any applicable cure periods contained in such documents, whether as
to Borrower or the Property, or if any other such event shall occur or
condition shall exist, if the effect of such default, event or condition is
to accelerate the maturity of any portion of the Debt or to permit Lender
to accelerate the maturity of all or any portion of the Debt.
(b) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (other than an Event of
Default described in clauses (vi), (vii) or (viii) above) and at any time
thereafter while such Event of Default is continuing, in addition to any other
rights or remedies available to it pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents or at law or in equity but subject to Section 9.3, Lender may take
such action, without notice or demand, that Lender deems advisable to protect
and enforce its rights against Borrower and the Property, including, without
limitation, declaring the Debt to be immediately due and payable, and Lender may
enforce or avail itself of any or all rights or remedies provided in the Loan
Documents against Borrower and any or all of the Property, including, without
limitation, all rights or remedies available at law or in equity; and upon any
Event of Default described in clauses (vi), (vii) or (viii) above, the Debt and
Other Obligations of Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall
immediately and automatically become due and payable, without notice or demand,
and Borrower hereby expressly waives any such notice or demand, anything
contained herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding.
SECTION 8.2 REMEDIES.
(a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, subject to Section 9.3, all or any one or more of the rights, powers,
privileges and other remedies available to Lender against Borrower under this
Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents executed and delivered by, or
applicable to, Borrower or at law or in equity may be exercised by Lender at any
time and from time to time, whether or not all or any of the Debt shall be
declared due and payable, and whether or not Lender shall have commenced any
foreclosure proceeding or other action for the enforcement of its rights and
remedies under any of the Loan Documents with respect to all or any part of the
Property. Subject to Section 9.3, any such actions taken by Lender shall be
cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singularly,
successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender
may determine in its sole discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by law,
without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender
permitted by law, equity or contract or as set forth herein or in the other Loan
Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower agrees
that if an Event of Default is continuing and to the fullest extent permitted by
law (i) Lender is not subject to any "one action" or "election of remedies" law
or rule, and (ii) all liens and other rights, remedies or privileges provided to
Lender shall remain in full force and effect until Lender has exhausted all of
its remedies against the Property and the Mortgage has been foreclosed, sold
and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Debt or the Debt has been
paid in full.
(b) With respect to Borrower and the Property, nothing contained
herein or in any other Loan Document shall be construed as requiring Lender to
resort to the Property for the satisfaction of any of the Debt in any preference
or priority, and Lender may seek satisfaction out of the Property, or any part
thereof, in its absolute discretion in respect of the Debt. In addition, to the
fullest extent permitted by law, Lender shall have the right from time to time
to partially foreclose the Mortgage in any manner and for any amounts secured by
the Mortgage then due and payable as determined by Lender in its sole discretion
including, without limitation, the following circumstances: (i) in the event
Borrower defaults beyond any applicable grace period in the payment of one or
more scheduled payments of principal and interest, Lender may foreclose the
Mortgage to recover such delinquent payments or (ii) in the event Lender elects
to accelerate less than the entire outstanding principal balance of the Loan,
Lender may foreclose the Mortgage to recover so much of the principal balance of
the Loan as Lender may accelerate and such other sums secured by the Mortgage as
Lender may elect. Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, the Property
shall remain subject to the Mortgage to secure payment of sums secured by the
Mortgage and not previously recovered, to the fullest extent permitted by law.
(c) Lender shall have the right from time to time to sever the Note
and the other Loan Documents into one or more separate notes, mortgages and
other security documents (the "Severed Loan Documents") in such denominations as
Lender shall determine in its sole discretion for purposes of evidencing and
enforcing its rights and remedies provided hereunder. Borrower shall execute and
deliver to Lender from time to time, promptly after the request of Lender, a
severance agreement and such other documents as Lender shall request in order to
effect the severance described in the preceding sentence, all in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender and provided that such severance
agreement and other documents incorporate the provisions of Section 9.3.
Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints Lender as its true and
lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in its name and stead to make and
execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect the aforesaid severance,
Borrower ratifying all that its said attorney shall do by virtue thereof;
provided, however, Lender shall not make or execute any such documents under
such power until ten (10) days after notice has been given to Borrower by Lender
of Lender's intent to exercise its rights under such power. Borrower shall be
obligated to pay any costs or expenses incurred in connection with the
preparation, execution, recording or filing of the Severed Loan Documents and
the Severed Loan Documents shall not contain any representations, warranties or
covenants not contained in the Loan Documents and any such representations and
warranties contained in the Severed Loan Documents will be given by Borrower
only as of the Closing Date.
SECTION 8.3 REMEDIES CUMULATIVE; WAIVERS. The rights, powers and remedies
of Lender under this Agreement shall be cumulative and, subject to Section 9.3,
not exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which Lender may have against
Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or existing at
law or in equity or otherwise. Lender's rights, powers and remedies may be
pursued singularly, concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as
Lender may determine in Lender's sole discretion. No delay or omission to
exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of Default shall
impair any such remedy, right or power or shall be construed as a waiver
thereof, but any such remedy, right or power may be exercised from time to time
and as often as may be deemed expedient. A waiver of one Event of Default with
respect to Borrower shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent
Event of Default by Borrower or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent
thereon.
IX. SPECIAL PROVISIONS
SECTION 9.1 SECURITIZATION.
9.1.1 SALE OF NOTES AND SECURITIZATION. Borrower acknowledges and
agrees that Lender may sell all or any portion of the Loan and the Loan
Documents, or issue one or more participations therein, or consummate one or
more private or public securitizations of rated single- or multi-class
securities (the "Securities") secured by or evidencing ownership interests in
all or any portion of the Loan and the Loan Documents or a pool of assets that
include the Loan and the Loan Documents (such sales, participations and/or
securitizations, collectively, a "Securitization"). At the request of Lender,
and to the extent not already required to be provided by or on behalf of
Borrower under this Agreement, Borrower shall use reasonable efforts to provide
information not in the possession of Lender or which may be reasonably required
by Lender or take other actions reasonably required by Lender, in each case in
order to satisfy the market standards to which Lender customarily adheres or
which may be reasonably required by prospective investors and/or the Rating
Agencies in connection with any such Securitization including, without
limitation, to:
(a) provide additional and/or updated Provided Information;
(b) assist in preparing descriptive materials for presentations to any
or all of Lender's prospective investors or the Rating Agencies;
(c) if required by any prospective investor and/or any Rating Agency,
use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver such additional tenant estoppel
letters, subordination agreements or other agreements from parties to agreements
that affect the Property, which estoppel letters, subordination agreements or
other agreements shall be reasonably satisfactory to Lender, prospective
investors and/or the Rating Agencies;
(d) execute such certifications and/or amendments to the Loan
Documents as may be requested by Lender, prospective investors and/or the Rating
Agencies to effect the Securitization, provided that Borrower shall not be
required to modify or amend any Loan Document if such modification or amendment
would (i) initially change the weighted average interest rate on the Loan, the
stated maturity or the amortization of principal set forth herein or in the
Note, (ii) modify or amend any other material economic term of the Loan, or
(iii) materially increase the obligations, or decrease the rights, of Borrower
under the Loan Documents;
(e) if requested by Lender, review any information regarding the
Property, Borrower, Guarantor, Manager and the Loan which is contained in a
preliminary or final private placement memorandum, prospectus, prospectus
supplement (including any amendment or supplement to either thereof), or other
disclosure document to be used by Lender or any affiliate thereof; and
(f) supply to Lender such documentation, financial statements and
reports regarding the Property, Borrower, Guarantor, Manager and the Loan in
form and substance required in order to comply with any applicable securities
laws.
9.1.2 SECURITIZATION COSTS. All reasonable third party costs and
expenses incurred by Borrower in connection with Borrower's complying with
requests made under this Section 9.1 shall be paid by Borrower, provided,
however, such costs and expenses shall not exceed $2,500.
SECTION 9.2 SECURITIZATION. Borrower understands that certain of the
Provided Information may be included in disclosure documents in connection with
the Securitization, including, without limitation, a prospectus, prospectus
supplement or private placement memorandum (each, a "Disclosure Document") and
may also be included in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission
pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or
the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or
provided or made available to investors or prospective investors in the
Securities, the Rating Agencies, and service providers relating to the
Securitization. In the event that the Disclosure Document is required to be
revised prior to the sale of all Securities, Borrower will cooperate with the
holder of the Note in updating the Disclosure Document by providing all current
information necessary to keep the Disclosure Document accurate and complete in
all material respects.
SECTION 9.3 EXCULPATION. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
in this Agreement, the Note, the Mortgage or the other Loan Documents but
subject to the qualifications below, Lender shall not enforce the liability and
obligation of Borrower to perform and observe the obligations contained in the
Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage or the other Loan Documents by any action or
proceeding wherein a money judgment shall be sought against Borrower, except
that Lender may bring a foreclosure action, an action for specific performance
or any other appropriate action or proceeding to enable Lender to enforce and
realize upon its interest under the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage and the
other Loan Documents, or in the Property, the Rents, or any other collateral
given to Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents; provided, however, that, except
as specifically provided herein, any judgment in any such action or proceeding
shall be enforceable against Borrower only to the extent of Borrower's interest
in the Property, in the Rents and in any other collateral given to Lender, and
Lender, by accepting the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage and the other Loan
Documents, agrees that it shall not ▇▇▇ for, seek or demand any deficiency
judgment against Borrower in any such action or proceeding under or by reason of
or under or in connection with the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage or the
other Loan Documents. The provisions of this Section shall not, however, (a)
constitute a waiver, release or impairment of any obligation evidenced or
secured by any of the Loan Documents; (b) impair the right of Lender to name
Borrower as a party defendant in any action or suit for foreclosure and sale
under the Mortgage as long as Lender shall not ▇▇▇ for, seek or demand any
deficiency judgment against Borrower; (c) affect the validity or enforceability
of or any guaranty made in connection with the Loan or any of the rights and
remedies of Lender thereunder; (d) impair the right of Lender to obtain the
appointment of a receiver; (e) impair the enforcement of any of the Assignment
of Leases; (f) constitute a prohibition against Lender to seek a deficiency
judgment against Borrower if necessary in order to fully realize the security
granted by the Mortgage or to commence any other appropriate action or
proceeding in order for Lender to exercise its remedies against the Property; or
(g) constitute a waiver of the right of Lender to enforce the liability and
obligation of Borrower, by money judgment or otherwise, to the extent of any
loss, damage, cost, expense, liability, claim or other obligation incurred by
Lender (including attorneys' fees and costs reasonably incurred) arising out of
or in connection with the following:
(i) fraud or intentional misrepresentation by Borrower or Guarantor in
connection with the Loan;
(ii) the willful misconduct of Borrower;
(iii) the breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or
indemnification provision in the Environmental Indemnity or in the Mortgage
concerning environmental laws, hazardous substances and asbestos and any
indemnification of Lender with respect thereto in either document;
(iv) the removal or disposal by Borrower or any Affiliate of Borrower
of any portion of the Property after an Event of Default (unless otherwise
permitted under the Loan Documents);
(v) the misapplication or conversion by Borrower of (A) any Insurance
Proceeds paid by reason of any loss, damage or destruction to the Property,
which are not applied by Borrower in accordance with this Agreement, (B)
any Awards received in connection with a Condemnation of all or a portion
of the Property, which are not applied by Borrower in accordance with this
Agreement, (C) any Rents following an Event of Default, (D) any Rents paid
more than one month in advance, or (E) any amounts paid to Borrower by
tenants of the Property specifically for Taxes and Other Charges, which are
not applied by Borrower to pay such Taxes and Other Charges or in
accordance with this Agreement;
(vi) failure to pay charges incurred by Borrower or any Affiliate of
Borrower for labor or materials that can create Liens on any portion of the
Property, subject to any right to contest such charges pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement; and
(vii) any security deposits, advance deposits or any other deposits
collected with respect to the Property which are not delivered to Lender
upon a foreclosure of the Property or action in lieu thereof, except to the
extent any such security deposits were applied in accordance with the terms
and conditions of any of the Leases prior to the occurrence of the Event of
Default that gave rise to such foreclosure or action in lieu thereof.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Note or any
of the Loan Documents, (A) Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any right
which Lender may have under Section 506(a), 506(b), 1111(b) or any other
provisions of the Bankruptcy Code to file a claim for the full amount of the
Debt secured by the Mortgage or to require that all collateral shall continue to
secure all of the Debt owing to Lender in accordance with the Loan Documents,
and (B) the Debt shall be fully recourse to Borrower (i) in the event of: (a)
Borrower filing a voluntary petition under the Bankruptcy Code or any other
Federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law; (b) the filing by any Person of
an involuntary petition against Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code or any other
Federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law, in which Borrower colludes with,
or otherwise assists such Person, or solicits or causes to be solicited
petitioning creditors for any involuntary petition against Borrower from any
Person; (c) Borrower filing an answer consenting to or otherwise acquiescing in
or joining in any involuntary petition filed against it, by any other Person
under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency
law; (d) Borrower consenting to or acquiescing in or joining in an application
for the appointment of a custodian, receiver, trustee, or examiner for Borrower
or any portion of the Property (other than a receiver requested by Lender in
connection with enforcement of its rights under the Loan Documents); (e)
Borrower making an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or admitting, in
writing or in any legal proceeding, its insolvency or inability to pay its debts
as they become due; (ii) if the first full monthly payment of interest on the
Note is not paid within five (5) days of notice that such payment is late
(provided, however, that such grace period relates only to the recourse trigger
described in this paragraph); (iii) if Borrower fails to permit on-site
inspections of the Property subject to the rights of tenants and any applicable
cure period set forth in the Loan Documents, fails to provide financial
information as required under the Loan Documents subject to any applicable cure
period (except for financial information required to be delivered by a tenant
pursuant to the applicable Lease that has not been delivered to Borrower,
provided Borrower has requested such financial information from such tenant), or
fails to maintain its status as a Single Purpose Entity; (iv) if Borrower fails
to obtain Lender's prior written consent to any Indebtedness incurred by
Borrower and not otherwise permitted by this Agreement or the Mortgage or
voluntary Lien encumbering the Property created by Borrower and not otherwise
permitted by this Agreement or the Mortgage; or (v) if Borrower fails to obtain
Lender's prior written consent to any Transfer as required by this Agreement or
the Mortgage.
SECTION 9.4 MATTERS CONCERNING MANAGER. If (a) the Debt has been
accelerated pursuant to Section 8.1(b) hereof, (b) Manager shall become bankrupt
or insolvent or (c) a default occurs under the Management Agreement which is not
cured within any applicable notice or grace period, Borrower shall, at the
request of Lender, remove the Property from the application of the Management
Agreement if permitted to do so by the terms of the Management Agreement and the
Consent Regarding Management Agreement, and replace the Manager of the Property
with a Qualified Manager pursuant to a Replacement Management Agreement, it
being understood and agreed that the management fee for such Qualified Manager
shall not exceed then prevailing market rates.
SECTION 9.5 SERVICER. At the option of Lender, the Loan may be serviced by
a servicer/trustee (any such servicer/trustee, together with its agents,
nominees or designees, are collectively referred to as "Servicer") selected by
Lender and Lender may delegate all or any portion of its responsibilities under
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to Servicer pursuant to a servicing
agreement (the "Servicing Agreement") between Lender and Servicer. Borrower
shall not be responsible for payment of any set-up fees or any other initial
costs relating to or arising under the Servicing Agreement or the monthly
servicing fee due to Servicer under the Servicing Agreement.
X. MISCELLANEOUS
SECTION 10.1 SURVIVAL. This Agreement and all covenants, agreements,
representations and warranties made herein and in the certificates delivered
pursuant hereto shall survive the making by Lender of the Loan and the execution
and delivery to Lender of the Note, and shall continue in full force and effect
so long as all or any of the Debt is outstanding and unpaid unless a longer
period is expressly set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents. Whenever in
this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be
deemed to include the legal representatives, successors and assigns of such
party. All covenants, promises and agreements in this Agreement, by or on behalf
of each party, shall inure to the benefit of the legal representatives,
successors and assigns of the other party.
SECTION 10.2 LENDER'S DISCRETION. Whenever pursuant to this Agreement,
Lender exercises any right given to it to approve or disapprove, or any
arrangement or term is to be satisfactory to Lender, the decision of Lender to
approve or disapprove or to decide whether arrangements or terms are
satisfactory or not satisfactory shall (except as is otherwise specifically
herein provided) be in the reasonable discretion of Lender and shall be final
and conclusive.
SECTION 10.3 GOVERNING LAW.
THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE A CONTRACT ENTERED INTO PURSUANT TO THE
LAWS OF THE STATE IN WHICH THE PROPERTY IS LOCATED AND SHALL IN ALL RESPECTS BE
GOVERNED, CONSTRUED, APPLIED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE
STATE IN WHICH THE PROPERTY IS LOCATED AND APPLICABLE FEDERAL LAWS.
SECTION 10.4 MODIFICATION, WAIVER IN WRITING. No modification, amendment,
extension, discharge, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement,
or of the Note, or of any other Loan Document, nor consent to any departure by
Borrower or Lender 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
(unless such future notice or demand is otherwise required to be given).
SECTION 10.5 DELAY NOT A WAIVER. Neither any failure nor any delay on the
part of any party 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 under 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, 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 10.6 NOTICES. All notices, consents, approvals and requests

JURY OF ANY ISSUE TRIABLE OF RIGHT BY JURY, AND WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY
JURY FULLY TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY SUCH RIGHT SHALL NOW OR HEREAFTER EXIST WITH

KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY BY BORROWER, AND IS INTENDED TO ENCOMPASS INDIVIDUALLY
EACH INSTANCE AND EACH ISSUE AS TO WHICH THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY WOULD
OTHERWISE ACCRUE. LENDER IS HEREBY AUTHORIZED TO FILE A COPY OF THIS PARAGRAPH
IN ANY PROCEEDING AS CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OF THIS WAIVER BY BORROWER.
SECTION 10.8 HEADINGS. The Article and/or Section headings and the Table of
Contents in this Agreement are included herein for convenience of reference only
and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purpose.
SECTION 10.9 SEVERABILITY. Wherever possible, each provision of this
Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under
applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or
invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent
of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such
provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.
10.9.1 PREFERENCES. Lender shall have the continuing and exclusive
right to apply or reverse and reapply any and all payments by Borrower to any
portion of the obligations of Borrower hereunder, provided such reapplication is
consistent with the provisions of this Agreement. To the extent Borrower makes a
payment or payments to Lender, which payment or proceeds or any part thereof are
subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside
or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any
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.
10.9.2 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 do not specifically and expressly
provide for the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower.
10.9.3 REMEDIES OF BORROWER. In the event that a claim or adjudication
is made that Lender or its agents have acted unreasonably or unreasonably
delayed acting in any case where by law or under this Agreement 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.
10.9.4 EXPENSES; INDEMNITY.
(a) Borrower covenants and agrees to pay or, if Borrower fails to pay,
to reimburse, Lender upon receipt of written notice from Lender for all
reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and
disbursements) incurred by Lender in connection with (i) the preparation,
negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and
thereby and all the costs of furnishing all opinions by counsel for Borrower
(including without limitation any opinions reasonably requested by Lender as to
any legal matters arising under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents with
respect to the Property); (ii) Borrower's ongoing performance of and compliance
with Borrower's respective agreements and covenants contained in this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents on its part to be performed or complied with after
the Closing Date, including, without limitation, confirming compliance with
environmental and insurance requirements; (iii) the negotiation, preparation,
execution, delivery and administration of any consents, amendments, waivers or
other modifications to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents requested by
Borrower or otherwise required hereunder, and any other documents or matters
requested by Borrower or otherwise required hereunder; (iv) securing Borrower's
compliance with any requests made pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement;
(v) the filing and recording fees and expenses, title insurance and reasonable
fees and expenses of counsel for providing to Lender all reasonably required
legal opinions, and other similar expenses incurred in creating and perfecting
the Lien in favor of Lender pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents; (vi) enforcing or preserving any rights, in response to third party
claims or the prosecuting or defending of any action or proceeding or other
litigation, in each case against, under or affecting Borrower, this Agreement,
the other Loan Documents, the Property, or any other security given for the
Loan; and (vii) enforcing any obligations of or collecting any payments due from
Borrower under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or with respect to the
Property (including any fees incurred by Servicer in connection with the
transfer of the Loan to a special servicer upon an Event of Default) or in
connection with any refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements
provided under this Agreement in the nature of a "work-out" or of any insolvency
or bankruptcy proceedings; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be liable
for the payment of any such costs and expenses to the extent the same arise by
reason of the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct of
Lender. Any cost and expenses due and payable to Lender may be paid from any
amounts in the Cash Management Account, if applicable.
(b) Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Lender from and
against any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties,
actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind
or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and
disbursements of counsel for Lender in connection with any investigative,
administrative or judicial proceeding commenced or threatened, whether or not
Lender shall be designated a party thereto), that may be imposed on, incurred
by, or asserted against Lender in any manner relating to or arising out of (i)
any material breach by Borrower of its obligations under, or any material
misrepresentation by Borrower contained in, this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents, or (ii) the use or intended use of the proceeds of the Loan
(collectively, the "Indemnified Liabilities"); provided, however, that Borrower
shall not have any obligation to Lender hereunder to the extent that such
Indemnified Liabilities arise from the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or
willful misconduct of Lender. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify,
defend and hold harmless set forth in the preceding sentence may be
unenforceable because it violates any law or public policy, Borrower shall pay
the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law
to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by
Lender.
(c) Borrower covenants and agrees to pay for or, if Borrower fails to
pay, to reimburse Lender for, any reasonable fees and expenses incurred by any
Rating Agency in connection with any consent, approval, waiver or confirmation
obtained from such Rating Agency pursuant to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement or any other Loan Document and Lender shall be entitled to require
payment of such fees and expenses as a condition precedent to the obtaining of
any such consent, approval, waiver or confirmation.
SECTION 10.10 SCHEDULES INCORPORATED. The Schedules annexed hereto are
hereby incorporated herein as a part of this Agreement with the same effect as
if set forth in the body hereof.
SECTION 10.11 OFFSETS, COUNTERCLAIMS AND DEFENSES. Any assignee of Lender's
interest in and to this Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents shall
take the same free and clear of all offsets, counterclaims or defenses which are
unrelated to such documents which Borrower may otherwise have against any
assignor of such documents, and no such unrelated counterclaim or defense shall
be interposed or asserted by Borrower in any
action or proceeding brought by any such assignee upon such documents and any
such right to interpose or assert any such unrelated offset, counterclaim or
defense in any such action or proceeding is hereby expressly waived by Borrower.
SECTION 10.12 NO JOINT VENTURE OR PARTNERSHIP; NO THIRD PARTY
BENEFICIARIES.
(a) Borrower and Lender intend that the relationships created
hereunder and under the other Loan Documents be solely that of borrower and
lender. Nothing herein or therein is intended to create a joint venture,
partnership, tenancy-in-common, or joint tenancy relationship between Borrower
and Lender nor to grant Lender any interest in the Property other than that of
mortgagee, beneficiary or lender.
(b) This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are solely for the
benefit of Lender and Borrower and nothing contained in this Agreement or the
other Loan Documents shall be deemed to confer upon anyone other than Lender and
Borrower any right to insist upon or to enforce the performance or observance of
any of the obligations contained herein or therein. All conditions to the
obligations of Lender to make the Loan hereunder are imposed solely and
exclusively for the benefit of Lender and no other Person shall have standing to
require satisfaction of such conditions in accordance with their terms or be
entitled to assume that Lender will refuse to make the Loan in the absence of
strict compliance with any or all thereof and no other Person shall under any
circumstances be deemed to be a beneficiary of such conditions, any or all of
which may be freely waived in whole or in part by Lender if, in Lender's sole
discretion, Lender deems it advisable or desirable to do so.
SECTION 10.13 PUBLICITY All news releases, publicity or advertising by
Borrower or its Affiliates through any media intended to reach the general
public which refers to the Loan Documents or the financing evidenced by the Loan
Documents, to Lender, or any of their Affiliates shall be subject to the prior
written approval of Lender.
SECTION 10.14 WAIVER OF MARSHALLING OF ASSETS. To the fullest extent
permitted by law, Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives
all rights to a marshalling of the assets of Borrower, Borrower's partners and
others with interests in Borrower, and of the Property, 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 Property for the
collection of the Debt without any prior or different resort for collection or
of the right of Lender to the payment of the Debt out of the net proceeds of the
Property in preference to every other claimant whatsoever.
SECTION 10.15 WAIVER OF COUNTERCLAIM. Borrower hereby waives the right to
assert a counterclaim, other than a compulsory counterclaim, in any action or
proceeding brought against it by Lender or its agents.
SECTION 10.16 CONFLICT; CONSTRUCTION OF DOCUMENTS; RELIANCE. In the event
of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and any of the other
Loan Documents, the provisions of this Agreement shall control. The parties
hereto acknowledge that they were represented by competent counsel in connection
with the negotiation, drafting and execution of the Loan Documents and that such
Loan Documents shall not be subject to the principle of construing their meaning
against the party which drafted same. Borrower acknowledges that, with respect
to the Loan, Borrower shall rely solely on its own judgment and advisors in
entering into the Loan without relying in any manner on any statements,
representations or recommendations of Lender or any parent, subsidiary or
Affiliate of Lender. Lender shall not be subject to any limitation whatsoever in
the exercise of any rights or remedies available to it under any of the Loan
Documents or any other agreements or instruments which govern the Loan by virtue
of the ownership by it or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender of any
equity interest any of them may acquire in Borrower, and Borrower hereby
irrevocably waives the right to raise any defense or take any action on the
basis of the foregoing with respect to Lender's exercise of any such rights or
remedies. Borrower acknowledges that Lender engages in the business of real
estate financings and other real estate transactions and investments which may
be viewed as adverse to or competitive with the business of Borrower or its
Affiliates.
SECTION 10.17 BROKERS AND FINANCIAL ADVISORS. Each party hereby represents
to the other that it has dealt with no financial advisors, brokers,
underwriters, placement agents, agents or finders in connection with the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each party hereby agrees to
indemnify, defend and hold the other harmless from and against any and all
claims, liabilities, costs and expenses of any kind (including reasonable
attorneys' fees and expenses) in any way relating to or arising from a claim by
any Person that such Person acted on behalf of such party in connection with the
transactions contemplated herein. The provisions of this Section 10.17 shall
survive the expiration and termination of this Agreement and the payment of the
Debt.
SECTION 10.18 PRIOR AGREEMENTS. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents
contain the entire agreement of the parties hereto and thereto in respect of the
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and all prior agreements among or
between such parties, whether oral or written, are superseded by the terms of
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
SECTION 10.19 JOINT AND SEVERAL LIABILITY. If Borrower consists of more
than one (1) Person the obligations and liabilities of each Person shall be
joint and several.
SECTION 10.20 CERTAIN ADDITIONAL RIGHTS OF LENDER (VCOC). Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Lender shall have:
(a) the right to routinely consult with and advise Borrower's
management regarding the significant business activities and business and
financial developments of Borrower; provided, however, that such consultations
shall not include discussions of environmental compliance programs or disposal
of hazardous substances. Consultation meetings should occur on a regular basis
(no less frequently than quarterly) with Lender having the right to call special
meetings at any reasonable times and upon reasonable advance notice;
(b) the right, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, to
examine the books and records of Borrower at any reasonable times upon
reasonable notice;
(c) the right, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to
receive the financial statements required to be delivered under Section 5.1.11
hereof; and
(d) the right, without restricting any other rights of Lender under
this Agreement (including any similar right), to approve any acquisition by
Borrower of any other significant property (other than personal property
required for the day to day operation of the Property).
The rights described above in this Section 10.20 may be exercised by any entity
which owns and controls, directly or indirectly, substantially all of the
interests in Lender.
