Borrower shall furnish to Lender receipts for the payment of the Taxes and the
Other Charges prior to the date the same shall become delinquent (provided,
however, that Borrower is not required to furnish such receipts for payment of

no Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured; (ii) such proceeding shall

by final order of a court of competent jurisdiction which is no longer subject
to appeal, or the Property (or part thereof or interest therein) shall be
reasonably likely to be in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, canceled
or lost or there shall be any reasonable danger of the Lien of the Mortgage
being primed by any related Lien.

which might materially adversely affect Borrower's condition (financial or
otherwise) or business or the Property.

reporting failure which is not to occur more than twice during the term of the
Loan.

defaults thereunder on the part of any party, that none of the Rents have been
paid more than one month in advance, except as security, and that the Tenant

following provision shall apply: Notwithstanding anything contained herein to
the contrary, Borrower shall not, without the prior written consent of Lender,
grant any approval under (or permit any approval to be deemed granted under),
enter into any agreement with respect to (including, without limitation, any

of, exercise any recapture or enforcement rights with respect to (including,
without limitation, any exercise of rights after a Tenant default), or reduce
Rents, under the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Lease.
(b) If the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Lease is no longer in full force or effect the
following provisions shall apply:
(i) Borrower may enter into a proposed Lease (including
the renewal or extension of an existing Lease (a "RENEWAL LEASE"))
without the prior written consent of Lender, provided such proposed
Lease or Renewal Lease (1) provides for rental rates and terms
comparable to existing local market rates and terms (taking into
account the type and quality of the tenant) as of the date such Lease
is executed by Borrower (unless, in the case of a Renewal Lease, the
rent payable during such renewal, or a formula or other method to
compute such rent, is provided for in the original Lease), (2) is an
arm's-length transaction with a bona fide, independent third party
tenant, (3) does not have a materially adverse effect on the value of
the Property taken as a whole, (4) is subject and subordinate to the
Mortgage and the Tenant thereunder agrees to attorn to Lender, (5) does
not contain any option, offer, right of first refusal, or other similar
right to acquire all or any portion of the Property, (6) has a base
term of less than fifteen (15) years including options to renew, (7)
has no rent, credits, free rents or concessions granted thereunder
(other than those granted generally in accordance with the then current
market standards for Leases similar to the proposed Lease leasing space
in properties similar to the Property), and (8) is written on the
standard form of lease approved by Lender, as such form may be modified
to incorporate (I) economic terms consistent with the provisions of
this Section and (II) such other reasonable and customary changes to
said form which are consist with the provisions of this Section and
would not, in Borrower's reasonable judgment, have a material adverse
effect on the value or quality of the
-27-
Property or Borrower's ability to repay the Loan. All proposed Leases
which do not satisfy the requirements set forth in this subsection
shall be subject to the prior approval of Lender and its counsel, at
Borrower's expense. Borrower shall promptly deliver to Lender copies of
all Leases which are entered into pursuant to this subsection together
with Borrower's certification that it has satisfied all of the
conditions of this Section.

obligations imposed upon the landlord under the Leases and shall not do
or permit to be done anything to impair the value of any of the Leases
as security for the Debt; (2) shall promptly send copies to Lender of
all notices of default which Borrower shall send or receive thereunder;
(3) shall in a commercially reasonable manner enforce all of the
material terms, covenants and conditions contained in the Leases upon
the part of the tenant thereunder to be observed or performed; (4)
shall not collect any of the Rents more than one (1) month in advance
(except security deposits shall not be deemed Rents collected in
advance); (5) shall not execute any other assignment of the landlord's
interest in any of the Leases or the Rents not made in accordance with
the terms of such Leases; and (6) shall not consent to any assignment
of or subletting under any Major Leases not in accordance with their
terms, without the prior written consent of Lender.

Lender, amend, modify or waive the provisions of any Lease or
terminate, reduce Rents under, accept a surrender of space under, or
shorten the term of, any Lease (including any guaranty, letter of
credit or other credit support with respect thereto) provided that such
action (taking into account, in the case of a termination, reduction in
rent, surrender of space or shortening of term, the planned alternative
use of the affected space) does not have a materially adverse effect on
the value of the Property taken as a whole, and provided that such
Lease, as amended, modified or waived, is otherwise in compliance with
the requirements of this Agreement and any subordination agreement
binding upon Lender with respect to such Lease. A termination of a
Lease with a tenant who is in default beyond applicable notice and
grace periods shall not be considered an action which has a materially
adverse effect on the value of the Property taken as a whole. Any
amendment, modification, waiver, termination, rent reduction, space
surrender or term shortening which does not satisfy the requirements
set forth in this subsection shall be subject to the prior approval of
Lender (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and its counsel, at
Borrower's expense. Borrower shall promptly deliver to Lender copies of
amendments, modifications and waivers which are entered into pursuant
to this subsection together with Borrower's certification that it has
satisfied all of the conditions of this subsection.

the extent Lender's prior approval is required for any leasing matters set forth
in this Section 5.13, Lender shall have fifteen (15) Business Days from receipt
of written request and all required information and documentation relating
thereto in which to approve or disapprove such matter, provided that such
-28-
request to Lender is marked in bold lettering with the following language:
"LENDER'S RESPONSE IS REQUIRED WITHIN FIFTEEN (15) BUSINESS DAYS OF RECEIPT OF
THIS NOTICE PURSUANT TO THE TERMS OF A LOAN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE UNDERSIGNED
AND LENDER" and the envelope containing the request must be marked "PRIORITY-
LENDER'S RESPONSE REQUIRED IN FIFTEEN (15) BUSINESS DAYS". In the event that
Lender fails to respond to the leasing matter in question within such time,
Lender's approval shall be deemed given for all purposes. Borrower shall provide
Lender with such information and documentation as may be reasonably required by
Lender, including, without limitation, lease comparables and other market
information as required by Lender. In the event that Lender does not consent to
any leasing matters set forth in this Section 5.13, Lender shall provide
Borrower with a written explanation for the reason of such denial.
SECTION 5.14. PROPERTY MANAGEMENT.
(a) Borrower shall (i) promptly perform and observe all of the
covenants required to be performed and observed by it under any Management
Agreement entered into during the term of the Loan with lender's prior consent

rights thereunder; (ii) promptly notify Lender of any default under the
Management Agreement of which it is aware; (iii) promptly deliver to Lender a
copy of any notice of default or other material notice received by Borrower

observed by Manager under the Management Agreement. Any Management Agreement
entered into by Borrower shall be assigned to Lender by an Assignment of
Management Agreement acceptable to Lender and Lender's counsel as additional
collateral for the Loan.
(b) If at any time, (i) the Manager shall become insolvent or a
debtor in a bankruptcy proceeding; (ii) an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing; or (iii) a default has occurred and is continuing under the
Management Agreement, Borrower shall, at the request of Lender, terminate the
Management Agreement upon thirty (30) days prior notice to Manager and replace
Manager with a manager approved by Lender on terms and conditions satisfactory
to Lender, it being understood and agreed that the management fee for the
Manager and any replacement manager shall not exceed then prevailing market
rates.
(c) In addition to the foregoing, in the event that Lender, in
Lender's reasonable discretion, at any time prior to the termination of the
Assignment of Management Agreement, determines that the Property is not being
managed in accordance with generally accepted management practices for projects
similarly situated, Lender may deliver written notice thereof to Borrower and
the Manager, which notice shall specify with particularity the grounds for
Lender's determination. If Lender reasonably determines that the conditions
specified in Lender's notice are not remedied to Lender's reasonable
satisfaction by Borrower or the Manager within thirty (30) days from the date of
such notice or that Borrower or the Manager have failed to diligently undertake
correcting such conditions within such thirty (30) day period,
-29-
Lender may direct Borrower to terminate the Management Agreement and to replace
the Manager with a manager approved by Lender on terms and conditions
satisfactory to Lender, it being understood and agreed that the management fee
for such replacement manager shall not exceed then prevailing market rates.
(d) Borrower shall not, without the prior written consent of
Lender (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or
delayed): (i) surrender, terminate or cancel the Management Agreement or
otherwise replace Manager or enter into any other management agreement with
respect to the Property; (ii) reduce or consent to the reduction of the term of
the Management Agreement; (iii) increase or consent to the increase of the

general partner in the case of a limited partnership, or the managing member in
the case of a limited liability company (each an "SPE COMPONENT ENTITY") of
Borrower, as applicable, shall be a corporation whose sole asset is its interest
in Borrower. Each SPE Component Entity (i) will at all times comply with each of

(c) In the event Borrower is a single member Delaware limited
liability company, the limited liability company agreement of Borrower (the "LLC
AGREEMENT") shall provide that (i) upon the occurrence of any event that causes
the sole member of Borrower ("MEMBER") to cease to be the member of Borrower
(other than (A) upon an assignment by Member of all of its limited liability
company interest in Borrower and the admission of the transferee, or (B) the
resignation of Member and the admission of an additional member, in either case
in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and the LLC Agreement), the
person executing the LLC Agreement as a "Special Member" (as such term is
defined in the LLC Agreement) ("SPECIAL MEMBER") shall, without any action of
any other Person and simultaneously with the Member ceasing to be the member of
Borrower, automatically be admitted to Borrower and shall continue Borrower
without dissolution and (ii) Special Member may not resign from Borrower or
transfer its rights as Special Member unless a successor Special Member has been
admitted to Borrower as Special Member in accordance with requirements of
Delaware law. The LLC Agreement shall further provide that (i) Special Member
shall automatically cease to be a member of Borrower upon the admission to
Borrower of a substitute Member, (ii) Special Member shall be a member of
Borrower that has no interest in the profits, losses and capital of Borrower and
has no right to receive any distributions of Borrower assets, (iii) pursuant to

(iv) Special Member, in its capacity as Special Member, may not bind Borrower
and (v) except as required by any mandatory provision of the Act, Special
Member, in its capacity as Special Member, shall have no right to vote on,
approve or otherwise consent to any action by, or matter relating to, Borrower,
including, without limitation, the merger, consolidation or conversion of
Borrower. In order to implement the admission to Borrower of Special Member,
Special Member shall execute a counterpart to the LLC Agreement. Prior to its
admission to Borrower as Special Member, Special Member shall not be a member of
Borrower.
Upon the occurrence of any event that causes the Member to cease to be
a member of Borrower, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the personal
representative of Member shall, within ninety (90) days after the occurrence of
the event that terminated the continued membership of Member in Borrower, agree
in writing (i) to continue Borrower and (ii) to the admission of the personal
representative or its nominee or designee, as the case may be, as a substitute
member of Borrower, effective as of the occurrence of the event that terminated
the continued membership of Member of Borrower in Borrower. Any action initiated
by or brought against Member or Special Member under any Creditors Rights Laws
shall not cause Member or Special Member to cease to be a member of Borrower and
upon the occurrence of such an event, the business of Borrower shall continue
without dissolution. The LLC Agreement shall provide that each of Member and
Special Member waives any right it might have to agree in writing to
-34-
dissolve Borrower upon the occurrence of any action initiated by or brought
against Member or Special Member under any Creditors Rights Laws, or the
occurrence of an event that causes Member or Special Member to cease to be a
member of Borrower.

organization, or (f) Borrower's organizational identification number, without in
each case notifying Lender of such change in writing at least thirty (30) days
prior to the effective date of such change and, in the case of a change in
Borrower's structure, without first obtaining the prior written consent of
Lender. In addition, Borrower shall not change or permit to be changed any
organizational documents of Borrower or any SPE Component Entity (if any) if
such change would adversely impact the covenants set forth in Section 6.1
hereof. Borrower authorizes Lender to file any financing statement or financing
statement amendment required by Lender to establish or maintain the validity,
perfection and priority of the security interest granted herein. At the request
of Lender, Borrower shall execute a certificate in form satisfactory to Lender
listing the trade names under which Borrower intends to operate the Property,
and representing and warranting that Borrower does business under no other trade
name with respect to the Property. If Borrower does not now have an
organizational identification number and later obtains one, or if the
organizational identification number assigned to Borrower subsequently changes,
Borrower shall promptly notify Lender of such organizational identification
number or change.
SECTION 6.3. BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS
Borrower will qualify to do business and will remain in good standing
under the laws of the State as and to the extent the same are legally required
for the ownership, maintenance, management and operation of the Property.

one-half percent (0.5%) of the outstanding principal balance of the Loan and all
of Lender's reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with such

Agencies that the Prohibited Transfer will not result in a downgrade, withdrawal

proposed transferee's continued compliance with the covenants set forth in this

default hereunder in order to declare the Debt immediately due and payable upon
a Prohibited Transfer made without Lender's consent. This provision shall apply
to each and every Prohibited Transfer, whether or not Lender has consented to
any previous Prohibited Transfer.
SECTION 7.5. ASSUMPTION
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article 7, following
the date which is six (6) months from the Closing Date, Lender shall not
unreasonably withhold consent to a transfer of the Property in its entirety to,
and the related assumption of the Loan by, any Person (a "TRANSFEREE") provided
that each of the following terms and conditions are satisfied:
(a) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;
(b) Borrower shall have (i) delivered written notice to Lender of
the terms of such prospective transfer not less than sixty (60) days before the
date on which such transfer is scheduled to close and, concurrently therewith,
all such information concerning the proposed Transferee as Lender shall
reasonably require and (ii) paid to Lender a non-refundable processing fee in
the amount of $5,000. Lender shall have the right to approve or disapprove the
proposed transfer based on its then current underwriting and credit requirements
for similar loans secured by similar properties which loans are sold in the
secondary market, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld. In determining
whether to give or withhold its approval of the proposed transfer, Lender shall
consider the experience and track record of Transferee and its
-37-
principals in owning and operating facilities similar to the Property, the
financial strength of Transferee and its principals, the general business
standing of Transferee and its principals and Transferee's and its principals'
relationships and experience with contractors, vendors, tenants, lenders and
other business entities; provided, however, that, notwithstanding Lender's
agreement to consider the foregoing factors in determining whether to give or
withhold such approval, such approval shall be given or withheld based on what
Lender determines to be commercially reasonable and, if given, may be given
subject to such conditions as Lender may deem reasonably appropriate;
(c) Borrower shall have paid to Lender, concurrently with the
closing of such transfer, (i) a non-refundable assumption fee in an amount equal
to one-half percent (0.5%) of the then outstanding principal balance of the
Note, and (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including
reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred by Lender in connection with the transfer;
(d) (i) Transferee shall have assumed and agreed to pay the Debt
as and when due subject to the provisions of Article 15 hereof and, prior to or
concurrently with the closing of such transfer, Transferee and its constituent
partners, members or shareholders as Lender may require, shall have executed,
without any cost or expense to Lender, such documents and agreements as Lender
shall reasonably require to evidence and effectuate said assumption and (ii) a
Person affiliated with Transferee and acceptable to Lender shall have assumed
the obligations of Borrower Principal under the Loan Documents with respect to
all acts and events occurring or arising after the transfer of the Property
pursuant to this Section 7.5;
(e) Borrower and Transferee, without any cost to Lender, shall
furnish any information reasonably requested by Lender for the preparation of,
and shall authorize Lender to file, new financing statements and financing
statement amendments and other documents to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law, and shall execute any additional documents reasonably requested
by Lender;
(f) Borrower shall have delivered to Lender, without any cost or
expense to Lender, such endorsements to Lender's Title Insurance Policy insuring
that fee simple or leasehold title to the Property, as applicable, is vested in
Transferee (subject to Permitted Encumbrances), hazard insurance endorsements or
certificates and other similar materials as Lender reasonably may deem necessary
at the time of the transfer, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory
to Lender;
(g) Transferee shall have furnished to Lender, if Transferee is a
corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other entity, all
appropriate papers evidencing Transferee's organization and good standing, and
the qualification of the signers to execute the assumption of the Debt, which
papers shall include certified copies of all documents relating to the
organization and formation of Transferee and of the entities, if any, which are
partners or members of Transferee. Transferee and such constituent partners,
members or shareholders of Transferee (as the case may be), as Lender shall
require, shall comply with the covenants set forth in Article 6 hereof;
-38-
(h) if applicable, Transferee shall assume the obligations of
Borrower under any Management Agreement or provide a new management agreement
with a new manager which meets with the requirements of Section 5.14 hereof and
assign to Lender as additional security such new management agreement;
(i) Transferee shall furnish an opinion of counsel satisfactory to
Lender and its counsel (A) that Transferee's formation documents provide for the
matters described in subparagraph (g) above, (B) that the assumption of the Debt
has been duly authorized, executed and delivered, and that the Note, the
Mortgage, this Agreement, the assumption agreement and the other Loan Documents
are valid, binding and enforceable against Transferee in accordance with their
terms, (C) that Transferee and any entity which is a controlling stockholder,
member or general partner of Transferee, have been duly organized, and are in
existence and good standing, and (D) with respect to such other matters as
Lender may reasonably request;
(j) if required by Lender, Lender shall have received confirmation
in writing from the Rating Agencies that rate the Securities to the effect that
the transfer will not result in a qualification, downgrade or withdrawal of any
rating initially assigned or to be assigned to the Securities if a
Securitization is pending; and
(k) Borrower's obligations under the contract of sale pursuant to
which the transfer is proposed to occur shall expressly be subject to the
satisfaction of the terms and conditions of this Section 7.5.
A consent by Lender with respect to a transfer of the Property in its entirety
to, and the related assumption of the Loan by, a Transferee pursuant to this
Section 7.5 shall not be construed to be a waiver of the right of Lender to
consent to any subsequent Sale or Pledge of the Property. Upon the transfer of
the Property pursuant to this Section 7.5, Borrower and Borrower Principal shall
be relieved all of liability under the Loan Documents for acts, events or
circumstances occurring or arising after the date of such transfer, except to
the extent that such acts, events or circumstances are the proximate result of
acts, events or circumstances that existed prior to the date of such transfer.
SECTION 7.6. RELEASE PARCEL.

the Lien of the Mortgage from a Release Parcel, Lender shall release the Lien of
the Mortgage (and related Loan Documents) from such Release Parcel upon
satisfaction of the following conditions precedent:

(30) days notice (or a shorter period of time if permitted by Lender in its sole
discretion) specifying a date which date shall not be earlier than October 1,
2005 (the "PARTIAL RELEASE DATE") on which the partial release is to occur,
provided, however, that Borrower may postpone the Partial Release Date from time
to time as long as the extended date is at least five (5) Business Days after
notice of such extension;

-39-
counsel (from counsel reasonably acceptable to Lender), (C) a certificate of an
architect (from an architect reasonably acceptable to Lender and licensed to
practice in the State) or (D) a letter from the appropriate Governmental
Authority indicating that the Release Parcel has been legally subdivided for
zoning lot purposes from the portion of the Property that would remain
encumbered by the Lien of the Mortgage after the release of the Release Parcel
(the "REMAINING PROPERTY") pursuant to a zoning lot subdivision in accordance
with applicable Legal Requirements and that the Release Parcel and Remaining
Property are each otherwise in compliance with all applicable zoning Legal
Requirements;
(iii) Borrower shall have delivered to Lender, at
Borrower's option, (A) an endorsement to the Title Insurance Policy, (B) an

separately conforms to and is in material compliance with all applicable Legal
Requirements and constitutes a separate tax lot(s), provided, however, that if
the Remaining Property and the Release Parcel have not been assessed as separate
tax lots on or before the Partial Release Date, then the conditions of this
subsection (v) relating to separate tax lot(s) shall be satisfied if (X)
(1)Borrower delivers to Lender an opinion of counsel (from counsel reasonably
acceptable to Lender); (2) a letter from the appropriate Governmental Authority,
(3) an endorsement to the Title Insurance Policy or (4) any other letter or
certification that Lender deems acceptable to conclude that Borrower has
performed all actions and obtained all consents necessary in order for the
Remaining Property and the Release Parcel to be assessed as separate tax lots
and that the only actions required in order for separate tax lots to be created
are purely ministerial acts by the applicable taxing authority (such as
assigning tax parcel identification numbers) and that separate tax lots will be
created in the ordinary course no later than six (6) months after the Partial
Release Date, (Y) Borrower delivers to Lender evidence that the transferee of
the Release Parcel has agreed to pay its pro rata share of Taxes allocable to
the Release Parcel until such parcel is separately assessed (and thereafter is
responsible for all Taxes assessed against the Release Parcel) and (Z) the
amount of funds held in the Tax and Insurance Account, if any, on account of the
Remaining Property shall be determined based upon the Taxes due on both the
Remaining Property and the Release Parcel and deposits in such amounts into the
Tax and Insurance Account shall continue, until the Remaining Property and the
Release Parcel are assessed as separate tax lots and Borrower delivers one of
the items described in (A) through (C) above (in which event, Lender shall use
only the Taxes due in connection with the Remaining Property as a basis for
determining deposits into the Tax Account on account of the Remaining Property);
(iv) Borrower shall have delivered to Lender a certificate

over the Release Parcel for the benefit of the Remaining Property) and (B)
sufficient parking remains on the Remaining Property to comply with the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇
Lease, with any applicable REA and all applicable Legal Requirements, and which
is adequate for the proper use and enjoyment of the Remaining Property;
-40-
(v) if required to do so in order to satisfy applicable

Borrower and other parties to the Release Parcel REA have signed the Release
Parcel REA substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B and have
complied with all requirements of and obtained all approvals required under the
Release Parcel REA;
(vi) Borrower shall have delivered a survey of the Release

(vii) Borrower shall have delivered to Lender on the date
of the release an endorsement to the Title Insurance Policy insuring the
Mortgage reflecting the partial release and (A) insuring Lender's interest in
any easements created in connection with the partial release, (B) extending the

partial release, and (C) confirming no change in the priority of the Mortgage on
the Remaining Property or in the amount of the insurance or the coverage under
such Title Insurance Policy;
(viii) Borrower shall deliver to Lender an Officer's
Certificate certifying that the requirements set forth in this Section 7.6 have
been satisfied;
(ix) if the Loan is part of a Securitization, Lender shall
have received confirmation in writing from the Rating Agencies to the effect
that the partial release and the anticipated improvements to be placed on the
Release Parcel will not result in a withdrawal, qualification or downgrade of
the respective ratings in effect immediately prior to such partial release for
the Securities issued in connection with the Securitization that are then
outstanding;
(x) if the Loan is part of a Securitization, Borrower
shall deliver to Lender an opinion of counsel acceptable to Lender and the
Rating Agencies (issued by counsel acceptable to Lender and the Rating Agencies)
that the consummation of the transactions contemplated under this Section 7.6
would not constitute a "significant modification" of the Loan under Section 1001
of the IRS Code or otherwise cause a tax to be imposed on a "prohibited
transaction" by any REMIC Trust;
(xi) No Event of Default shall exist hereunder;
(xii) Borrower shall deliver to Lender such other
certificates, documents or instruments as Lender may reasonably request; and
(xiii) Borrower shall pay all costs and expenses of Lender
incurred in connection with the partial release, including Lender's reasonable

(b) In addition to requirements set forth in subsection (a) above
(with the exception of the requirement set forth under (a)(iv), and (a)(v) which
shall not be applicable), if Borrower desires to obtain a parcel release of the
Lien of the Mortgage from the Release Parcel in order to facilitate the addition
or expansion of improvements on the Property for retail, office or warehouse
purposes, which addition or expansion shall be compatible with the use and
operation of the Property as a warehouse/distribution center (the "EXPANSION")
Lender shall release the
-41-
Lien of the Mortgage (and the Related Loan Documents) from such Release Parcel
upon satisfaction of the following conditions precedent:
(i) Borrower shall have delivered to Lender preliminary
plans and drawings for the improvements to be built on the Release Parcel
together with a certificate from an architect (licensed to practice in the State
in which the Property is located and reasonably acceptable to Lender) certifying
that such plans and drawings and the improvements to be constructed pursuant
thereto will comply with all Legal Requirements, including that Borrower shall
be able to obtain a new or amended certificate of occupancy for the improvements
upon completion of the improvements (to the extent that a determination of
compliance can be made generally on the basis of preliminary plans and
drawings), and Lender shall have approved such plans and drawings, which
approval shall be reasonable to an institutional lender and not be unreasonably
conditioned, withheld or delayed;
(ii) Borrower shall have delivered to Lender a certificate
from an architect or engineer (licensed to practice in the State in which the
Property is located and reasonably acceptable to Lender) to the effect that any
improvements proposed to be built on the Release Parcel will not adversely

(iii) Borrower shall have delivered to Lender an Officer's
Certificate as to the proposed use of such Release Parcel, its compatibility
with a warehouse/distribution center and its effects on the operation and use of
the Remaining Property;
(iv) In place of the metes and bounds description attached
as Exhibit C-1, Borrower shall have delivered a survey of the Release Parcel and
the Remaining Property prepared by a surveyor licensed in the State which
conforms to the metes and bounds description attached as Exhibit C-2. Lender
shall have the right to use its reasonable discretion to approve any variation
to the attached metes and bounds description;
(v) Borrower shall have delivered to Lender evidence that
Borrower and other parties to the Release Parcel REA have signed the Release
Parcel REA substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B and have
complied with all requirements of and obtained all approvals required under the
Release Parcel REA
(vi) The transferee of the Release Parcel shall be
responsible for all costs and expenses associated with the design, construction,
maintenance and repair of all improvements associated with the Expansion; and
(vii) Borrower Principal shall provide Lender with a
completion guaranty for the benefit of Borrower and its successors and/or
assigns in a form that is satisfactory to Lender with respect to any demolition,
construction, or other work done or proposed to be done on or affecting the
Remaining Property in connection with the Expansion;
(c) If Borrower has elected to obtain a partial release of the Release
Parcel from the Lien of the Mortgage and the requirements of this Section 7.6
have been satisfied, the Release Parcel shall be released from the Lien of the
Mortgage and other related Loan Documents, and Lender shall consent to, and
subordinate the Lien of the Mortgage encumbering the Remaining Property to, the
Release Parcel REA delivered in connection with such partial release. In
connection
-42-
therewith, Borrower shall submit to Lender, not less than thirty (30) days prior
to the Partial Release Date (or such shorter time as is acceptable to Lender in
its sole discretion), a partial release of Lien of the Mortgage and other
applicable, related Loan Documents for execution by Lender and a consent and
subordination to the REA for execution by Lender. Such partial release and
consent and subordination shall be in a form appropriate in the jurisdiction in
which the Remaining Property and the Release Parcel are located and shall
contain standard provisions protecting the rights of a releasing lender with
respect to the Remaining Property. In addition, Borrower shall provide all other
documentation Lender reasonably requires to be delivered by Borrower in
connection with such partial release, together with an Officer's Certificate
certifying that such documentation (i) is in compliance with all Legal
Requirements, and (ii) will effect such partial release in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement. Borrower shall pay all reasonable costs, taxes and
expenses associated with the partial release of the Lien of the Mortgage,
including Lender's reasonable attorneys' fees. Borrower shall cause title to the
Release Parcel to be transferred to and held by a Person other than Borrower.
Lender's release of the Release Parcel shall be deemed to mean that Borrower has
satisfied or that Lender has waived any of the required conditions set forth
within this Section 7.6.
ARTICLE 8
INSURANCE; CASUALTY; CONDEMNATION; RESTORATION
SECTION 8.1. INSURANCE.
(a) Borrower shall obtain and maintain, or cause to be maintained,
at all times insurance for Borrower and the Property providing at least the
following coverages:
(i) comprehensive "special causes of loss" insurance on
the Improvements and the Personal Property, in each case (A) in an
amount equal to not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the "Full
Replacement Cost," which for purposes of this Agreement shall mean
actual replacement value (exclusive of costs of excavations,
foundations, underground utilities and footings); (B) containing an
agreed amount endorsement with respect to the Improvements and Personal
Property or a waiver of all co-insurance provisions; (C) providing for
no deductible in excess of $10,000 for all such insurance coverage; and
(D) if any of the Improvements or the use of the Property shall at any
time constitute legal non-conforming structures or uses, providing
coverage for contingent liability from Operation of Building Laws,
Demolition Costs and Increased Cost of Construction Endorsements and
containing an "Ordinance or Law Coverage" or "Enforcement" endorsement.
In addition, Borrower shall obtain: (y) if any portion of the
Improvements is currently or at any time in the future located in a
"special flood hazard area" designated by the Federal Emergency
Management Agency, flood hazard insurance in an amount equal to the
maximum amount of such insurance available under the National Flood
Insurance Act of 1968, the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 or the
National Flood Insurance Reform Act of 1994, as each may be amended;
and (z) earthquake insurance in amounts and in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to Lender in the event the Property is located
in an area with a high degree of seismic risk, provided that the
insurance pursuant to clauses (y) and (z) hereof shall be on terms
consistent with the comprehensive special causes of loss insurance
policy required under this subsection (i);
-43-
(ii) Commercial General Liability insurance against claims
for personal injury, bodily injury, death or property damage occurring
upon, in or about the Property, with such insurance (A) to be on a per
occurrence basis with a general aggregate limit of not less than
$2,000,000 and a per occurrence limit of not less than $1,000,000; and
(B) to continue at not less than the aforesaid limit until required to
be changed by Lender in writing by reason of changed economic
conditions making such protection inadequate;
(iii) loss of rents insurance or business income insurance,
as applicable, (A) with loss payable to Lender; (B) covering all risks
required to be covered by the insurance provided for in subsection (i)
above; and (C) which provides that after the physical loss to the
Improvements and Personal Property occurs, the loss of rents or income,
as applicable, will be insured until completion of Restoration or the
expiration of twelve (12) months, whichever first occurs, and
notwithstanding that the policy may expire prior to the end of such
period; and (D) which contains 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 twelve
(12) 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. For hotels,
motels, health care, and other property types without a standard rent
roll, the amount of business income insurance required shall be not
less than eighteen (18) months of debt service, taxes, insurance, and
other fixed expenses. The amount of such loss of rents or business
income insurance, as applicable, shall be determined prior to the date
hereof and at least once each year thereafter based on Borrower's
reasonable estimate of the gross income from the Property for the
succeeding period of coverage as required above. 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 the Note,
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents except to the extent such
amounts are actually paid out of the proceeds of such loss of rents or
business income insurance, as applicable;
(iv) at all times during which structural construction,
repairs or alterations are being made with respect to the Improvements,
and only if the Property coverage form does not otherwise apply, (A)
owner's contingent or protective liability insurance covering claims
not covered by or under the terms or provisions of the above mentioned
commercial general liability insurance policy; and (B) the insurance
provided for in subsection (i) above written in a so-called Builder's
Risk Completed Value form (1) on a non-reporting basis, (2) against
"special causes of loss" insured against pursuant to subsection (i)
above, (3) including permission to occupy the Property, and (4) with an
agreed amount endorsement waiving co-insurance provisions;
(v) workers' compensation, subject to the statutory
limits of the State, and employer's liability insurance in respect of
any work or operations on or about the Property, or in connection with
the Property or its operation (if applicable);
-44-
(vi) comprehensive boiler and machinery insurance, if
applicable, in amounts as shall be reasonably required by Lender on
terms consistent with the commercial property insurance policy required
under subsection (i) above;
(vii) excess liability insurance in an amount not less than
$5,000,000 per occurrence on terms consistent with the commercial
general liability insurance required under subsection (ii) above; and
(viii) upon sixty (60) days' written notice, such other
reasonable 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.
With respect to the Policies required to be maintained pursuant to
clauses (i) through (viii) above, Borrower shall maintain insurance coverage
against Losses resulting from acts of terrorism, provided that such insurance is
available at commercially reasonable rates.
(b) All insurance provided for in Section 8.1(a) shall be obtained
under valid and enforceable policies (collectively, the "POLICIES" or in the
singular, the "POLICY"), and shall be subject to the approval of Lender as to
insurance companies, amounts, deductibles, loss payees and insureds. The
Policies shall be issued by financially sound and responsible insurance
companies authorized to do business in the State and having a claims paying
ability rating of "BBB" or better by S&P and "Baa2" by ▇▇▇▇▇'▇ (or such other
ratings promulgated from time to time by S&P and ▇▇▇▇▇'▇ for properties and
transactions similar in type and size to the Property and the Loan) and/or a
general policy rating of "A" or better and a financial class of VIII or better
by A.M. Best Company, Inc. The Policies described in Section 8.1(a) shall
designate Lender and its successors and assigns as additional insureds,
mortgagees and/or loss payee as deemed appropriate by Lender. To the extent such
Policies are not available as of the Closing Date, Borrower shall deliver to
Lender prior to the Closing Date an Accord 28 (or similar) certificate and, as
soon as available after the Closing Date, certified copies of all Policies. Not
less than ten (10) days prior to the expiration dates of any insurance coverage
in place with respect to the Property, Borrower shall deliver to Lender an
Accord 28 (or similar) certificate, accompanied by evidence satisfactory to
Lender of payment of the premiums due in connection therewith (the "INSURANCE
PREMIUMS"), and, as soon as available thereafter, certified copies of all
renewal Policies.
(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 8.1(a).
(d) All Policies provided for or contemplated by Section 8.1(a),
except for the Policy referenced in Section 8.1(a)(v), 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 standard non-contributing mortgagee clause in favor
of Lender providing that the loss thereunder shall be payable to Lender.
-45-
(e) All Policies provided for in Section 8.1(a) 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 Policies shall not be materially changed (other
than to increase the coverage provided thereby) or canceled without at
least thirty (30) days' prior 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 Policies have not been renewed thirty (30) days prior to
its expiration;
(iv) Lender shall not be liable for any Insurance Premiums
thereon or subject to any assessments thereunder; and
(v) the Policies do not contain an exclusion for acts of
terrorism.
(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, obtaining such insurance coverage as Lender in its sole discretion
deems appropriate. All premiums incurred by Lender in connection with such
action or in obtaining such insurance and keeping it in effect shall be paid by
Borrower to Lender upon demand and, until paid, shall be secured by the Mortgage
and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.
SECTION 8.2. 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 provided all insurance proceeds are made available to
Borrower shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the Restoration of the
Property in accordance with Section 8.4. Subject to the preceding sentence,
Borrower shall pay all costs of such Restoration whether or not such costs are
covered by insurance. Lender may, but shall not be obligated to make proof of
loss if not made promptly by Borrower. Borrower shall adjust all claims for
Insurance Proceeds in consultation with, and approval of, Lender not to be
unreasonably withheld; provided, however, if an Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing, Lender shall have the exclusive right to participate in the
adjustment of all claims for Insurance Proceeds.
SECTION 8.3. CONDEMNATION
Borrower shall promptly give Lender notice of the actual or threatened
commencement of any proceeding for the Condemnation of the Property of which
Borrower has knowledge and shall deliver to Lender copies of any and all papers
served in connection with such proceedings.
-46-
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 reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of collection, to the reduction
or discharge of the Debt. Lender shall not be limited to the interest paid on
the Award by the condemning authority but shall be entitled to receive out of
the Award interest at the rate or rates provided herein or in the Note. If the
Property or any portion thereof is taken by a condemning authority, Borrower
shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the Restoration of the Property
and otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 8.4, provided that Lender
makes any Net Proceeds available pursuant to Section 8.4. If the Property is
sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Lender of the
Award, Lender shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the
Note shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive the Award, or a
portion thereof sufficient to pay the Debt.
SECTION 8.4. RESTORATION
The following provisions shall apply in connection with the Restoration
of the Property:
(a) If the Net Proceeds shall be less than $250,000 and the costs
of completing the Restoration shall be less than $250,000, the Net Proceeds will
be disbursed by Lender to Borrower upon receipt, provided that all of the
conditions set forth in Section 8.4(b)(i) are met and Borrower delivers to
Lender a written undertaking to expeditiously commence and to satisfactorily
complete with due diligence the Restoration in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement.
(b) If the Net Proceeds are equal to or greater than $250,000 or
the costs of completing the Restoration are equal to or greater than $250,000,
Lender shall make the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration in accordance
with the provisions of this Section 8.4. The term "NET PROCEEDS" for purposes of
this Section 8.4 shall mean: (i) the net amount of all insurance proceeds
received by Lender pursuant to Section 8.1 (a)(i), (iv), (vi) and (viii) as a
result of a Casualty, after deduction of its reasonable out-of-pocket costs and
expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable outside counsel fees), if
any, in collecting the same ("INSURANCE PROCEEDS"), or (ii) the net amount of
the Award as a result of a Condemnation, after deduction of its reasonable
out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable
outside counsel fees), if any, in collecting the same ("CONDEMNATION PROCEEDS"),
whichever the case may be.
(i) The Net Proceeds shall be made available to Borrower
for Restoration provided that each of the following conditions are met:
(A) no Event of Default shall have occurred and
be continuing;
-47-
(B) (1) in the event the Net Proceeds are
Insurance Proceeds, less than thirty percent (30%) of the
total floor area of the Improvements on the Property has been
damaged, destroyed or rendered unusable as a result of a
Casualty and the amount of damage does not exceed thirty
percent (30%) of the Property's fair market value immediately
prior to the occurrence of such Casualty, or (2) in the event
the Net Proceeds are Condemnation Proceeds, less than ten
percent (10%) of the land constituting the Property is taken,
such land is located along the perimeter or periphery of the
Property, and less than fifteen percent (15%) of the aggregate
floor area of the Improvements is taken and the taking does
not exceed fifteen percent (15%) of the Property's fair market
value immediately prior to the occurrence of such taking;
(C) The ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Lease (or if the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Lease
shall not be in effect Leases covering in the aggregate at
least seventy-five percent (75%) of the total rentable space
in the Property which has been demised under executed and
delivered Leases in effect as of the date of the occurrence of
such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be), and
each Major Lease in effect as of such date shall remain in
full force and effect during and after the completion of the
Restoration without abatement of rent beyond the time required
for Restoration;
(D) Borrower shall commence the Restoration as
soon as reasonably practicable (but in no event later than
ninety (90) days after such Casualty or Condemnation,
whichever the case may be, occurs) and shall diligently pursue
the same to satisfactory completion (for the purposes of this
subsection the filing for all appropriate building permits
shall constitute commencement of Restoration);
(E) Lender shall be satisfied that any operating
deficits, including all scheduled payments of principal and
interest under the Note, which will be incurred with respect
to the Property as a result of the occurrence of any such
Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, will be
covered out of the insurance coverage referred to in Section
8.1(a)(iii) above;
(F) Lender shall be satisfied that the
Restoration will be completed on or before the earliest to
occur of (1) six (6) months prior to the Maturity Date, (2)
the earliest date required for such completion under the terms
of any Major Lease or material agreements affecting the
Property, (3) such time as may be required under applicable
zoning law, ordinance, rule or regulation, or (4) the
expiration of the insurance coverage referred to in Section
8.1(a)(iii) unless Borrower or Borrower Principal have
deposited with Lender the amount (as determined by Lender)
necessary to cover any shortfall;
(G) the Property and the use thereof after the
Restoration will be in compliance with and permitted under all
Legal Requirements;
-48-
(H) the Restoration shall be done and completed
by Borrower in an expeditious and diligent fashion and in
compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements;
(I) such Casualty or Condemnation, as
applicable, does not result in the loss of permanent access to
the Property or the Improvements;
(J) Borrower shall deliver, or cause to be
delivered, to Lender a signed detailed budget approved in
writing by Borrower's architect or engineer stating the entire
cost of completing the Restoration, which budget shall be
reasonably acceptable to Lender; and
(K) the Net Proceeds together with any cash or
cash equivalent deposited by Borrower with Lender are
sufficient in Lender's reasonable judgment to cover the cost
of the Restoration.
(ii) The Net Proceeds shall be held by Lender until
disbursements commence, and, until disbursed in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 8.4(b), shall constitute additional security
for the Debt and other obligations under the Loan Documents. The Net
Proceeds shall be disbursed by Lender to, or as directed by, Borrower
from time to time during the course of the Restoration, upon receipt of
evidence satisfactory to Lender that (A) all the conditions precedent
to such advance, including those set forth in Section 8.4(b)(i), have
been satisfied, (B) all materials installed and work and labor
performed (except to the extent that they are to be paid for out of the
requested disbursement) in connection with the related Restoration item
have been paid for in full, and (C) 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 and discharged of record or in the
alternative fully insured to the satisfaction of Lender by the title
company issuing the Title Insurance Policy. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Insurance Proceeds from the Policies required to be
maintained by Borrower pursuant to Section 8.1(a)(iii) shall be
controlled by Lender at all times, shall not be subject to the
provisions of this Section 8.4 and shall be used solely for the payment
of the obligations under the Loan Documents and Operating Expenses.
(iii) All plans and specifications required in connection
with the Restoration shall be subject to prior review and acceptance in
all respects by Lender and by an independent consulting engineer
selected by Lender (the "RESTORATION CONSULTANT"). Lender shall have
the use of the plans and specifications and all permits, licenses and
approvals required or obtained in connection with the Restoration. The
identity of the contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in
the Restoration, as well as the contracts in excess of $100,000 under
which they have been engaged, shall be subject to prior review and
acceptance by Lender and the Restoration Consultant. All reasonable,
out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with
making the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration, including,
without limitation, reasonable outside counsel fees and disbursements
and the Restoration Consultant's reasonable fees, shall be paid by
Borrower.
-49-
(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 Restoration Consultant, minus the
Restoration Retainage. The term "RESTORATION RETAINAGE" shall mean an
amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the hard costs actually incurred
for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the
Restoration Consultant, until the Restoration has been completed. The
Restoration Retainage shall be reduced to five percent (5%) of the hard
costs incurred upon receipt by Lender of satisfactory evidence that
fifty percent (50%) of the Restoration has been completed. The final
Restoration Retainage shall in no event, and notwithstanding anything
to the contrary set forth above in this Section 8.4(b), be less than
the amount actually held back by Borrower from contractors,
subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration. The
Restoration Retainage shall not be released until the Restoration
Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed
in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.4(b) and that all
approvals necessary for the re-occupancy and use of the Property have
been obtained from all appropriate 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
Restoration Retainage; provided, however, that Lender will release the
portion of the Restoration Retainage being held with respect to any
contractor, subcontractor or materialman engaged in the Restoration as
of the date upon which the Restoration 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
conditional lien waivers and evidence of payment in full (or that the
retainage will be used to paid 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 Restoration
Retainage shall be approved by the surety company, if any, which has
issued a payment or performance bond with respect to the contractor,
subcontractor or materialman.
(v) Lender shall not be obligated to make disbursements
of the Net Proceeds more frequently than once every calendar month.
(vi) If at any time the Net Proceeds or the undisbursed
balance thereof shall not, in the reasonable opinion of Lender in
consultation with the Restoration Consultant, be sufficient to pay in
full the balance of the construction costs which are estimated by the
Restoration 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
construction 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 8.4(b) shall
constitute additional security for the Debt and other obligations under
the Loan Documents.
-50-
(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 Restoration Consultant certifies to Lender that
the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of
this Section 8.4(b), and the receipt by Lender of evidence satisfactory
to Lender that all costs incurred in connection with the Restoration
have been paid in full, shall be remitted by Lender to Borrower,
provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and shall be
continuing under the Note, this Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents.
(c) All Net Proceeds not required (i) to be made available for the
Restoration or (ii) to be returned to Borrower as excess Net Proceeds pursuant
to Section 8.4(b)(vii) may (x) be retained and applied by Lender toward the
payment of the Debt whether or not then due and payable in such order, priority
and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall deem proper, or, (y) at
the sole discretion of Lender, the same may be paid, either in whole or in part,
to Borrower for such purposes and upon such conditions as Lender shall
designate. If, pursuant to this Section 8.4, Lender shall receive and retain Net
Proceeds, (i) the lien of the Mortgage shall be reduced only by the amount
thereof received and retained by Lender and actually applied by Lender in
reduction of the Debt; and (ii) notwithstanding any other provisions hereof,
Borrower shall not be required to repair or restore the portion of the Property
affected by such Casualty or Condemnation to the condition or character the
Property was in immediately prior to such Casualty or Condemnation so long as no
Event of Default exists, but Borrower shall be required to remove all debris
with respect to the portion of the Property not required to be restored in a
manner that is safe and is not dangerous to health or other property and is in
compliance with all applicable laws.
(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 then in force
concerning the Property and all proceeds payable thereunder shall thereupon vest
in the purchaser at such foreclosure, Lender or other transferee in the event of
such other transfer of title.
ARTICLE 9
RESERVE FUNDS
SECTION 9.1. INTENTIONALLY DELETED.
SECTION 9.2. REPLACEMENTS.
(a) On an ongoing basis throughout the term of the Loan, Borrower
shall make capital repairs, replacements and improvements necessary to keep the
Property in good order and repair and in a good marketable condition or prevent
deterioration of the Property, including, but not limited to, those repairs,
replacements and improvements more particularly described in the Property
Condition Report prepared in connection with the closing of the Loan
(collectively, the "REPLACEMENTS"). Borrower shall complete all Replacements in
a good and workmanlike manner as soon as commercially reasonable after
commencing to make each such Replacement.
-51-
(b) Borrower shall establish on the date hereof an Eligible
Account with Lender or Lender's agent to fund the Replacements (the "REPLACEMENT
RESERVE ACCOUNT"). Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Trigger
Period, Borrower shall deposit $4,075.58 (the "REPLACEMENT RESERVE MONTHLY
DEPOSIT") into the Replacement Reserve Account on each Scheduled Payment Date,
provided, however, Borrower shall not be obligated to make such Replacement
Reserve Monthly Deposits on any Scheduled Payment Date if funds in the
Replacement Reserve Account equals or exceeds $40,775. Amounts so deposited
shall hereinafter be referred to as "REPLACEMENT RESERVE FUNDS." Lender may, in
its reasonable discretion, adjust the Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposit from
time to time to an amount sufficient to maintain the proper maintenance and
operation of the Property. In the event Lender shall at any time increase the
Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposit, Borrower may, at its election, request that
Lender obtain, at the sole cost and expense of Borrower, a Property Condition
Report prepared by an engineer selected by Lender in its reasonable discretion,
in which case the Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposit shall be adjusted by
Lender based on the results of such report, provided that in no event shall such
amounts be reduced below the initial amount of the Replacement Reserve Monthly
Deposit set forth in herein.
SECTION 9.3. TENANT IMPROVEMENTS AND LEASING COMMISSIONS.
(a) Borrower hereby agrees to (a) perform, or cause to be
performed, tenant improvements required under any Lease entered into in
accordance with the provisions of Section 5.13 of this Agreement (collectively,
the "TENANT IMPROVEMENTS"), and (b) pay the costs of leasing commissions
incurred by Borrower in connection with the leasing of the Property or a portion
thereof (collectively, "LEASING COMMISSIONS").
(b) Borrower shall establish on the date hereof an Eligible
Account with Lender or Lender's agent to fund Tenant Improvements and Leasing
Commissions (the "LEASING RESERVE ACCOUNT"). Upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of a Trigger Period, Borrower shall deposit with Lender into the
Leasing Reserve Account (i) the sum of $4,245 (the "LEASING RESERVE MONTHLY
DEPOSIT") on each Scheduled Payment Date and (ii) any sum or termination fee
payable to Borrower in connection with any Tenant's election to exercise any
early termination option contained in its respective lease of space at the
Property (the "TERMINATION FEE DEPOSIT") on the date of Borrower's receipt
thereof. Amounts so deposited shall hereinafter be referred to as the "LEASING
RESERVE FUNDS."
SECTION 9.4. REQUIRED WORK.
Borrower shall diligently pursue all Replacements and Tenant
Improvements (collectively, the "REQUIRED WORK") to completion in accordance
with the following requirements:
(a) 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
Required Work to the extent such contracts or work orders exceed $100,000. Upon
Lender's request, Borrower shall assign any contract or subcontract to Lender.
-52-
(b) In the event Lender determines in its reasonable discretion
that any Required Work is not being or has not been performed in a workmanlike
or timely manner, Lender shall have the option to withhold disbursement for such
unsatisfactory Required Work upon fifteen (15) days prior written notice to
Borrower (unless there exists a threat to health or safety, in which case no
such notice shall be required) and to proceed under existing contracts or to
contract with third parties to complete such Required Work and to apply the
Replacement Reserve Funds, toward the labor and materials necessary to complete
such Required Work, and to exercise any and all other remedies available to
Lender upon an Event of Default hereunder.
(c) In order to facilitate Lender's completion of the Required
Work pursuant to Section 9.4(b), Borrower grants Lender the right to enter onto
the Property and perform any and all work and labor necessary to complete the
Required Work and/or employ watchmen to protect the Property from damage. All
sums so expended by Lender, to the extent not from the Reserve Funds, shall be
deemed to have been advanced under the Loan to Borrower and secured by the
Mortgage. For this purpose Borrower constitutes and appoints Lender its true and
lawful attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution to complete or undertake
the Required Work in the name of Borrower upon Borrower's failure to do so in a
workmanlike and timely manner. 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 of the Reserve Funds for the purpose
of making or completing the Required Work; (ii) to make such additions, changes
and corrections to the Required Work as shall be reasonably necessary or
desirable to complete the Required Work; (iii) to employ such contractors,
subcontractors, agents, architects and inspectors as shall be required for such
purposes; (iv) to pay, settle or compromise all existing bills and claims which
are or may become Liens against the Property, or as may be necessary or
desirable for the completion of the Required Work, 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 except to the extent arising from Lender's gross
negligence or willful misconduct; and (vii) to do any and every act which
Borrower might do on its own behalf to fulfill the terms of this Agreement with
regards to Lender's performance of the Required Work.
(d) Nothing in this Section 9.4 shall: (i) make Lender responsible
for making or completing the Required Work; (ii) require Lender to expend funds
in addition to the Reserve Funds to make or complete any Required Work; (iii)
obligate Lender to proceed with the Required Work; or (iv) obligate Lender to
demand from Borrower additional sums to make or complete any Required Work.
(e) Borrower shall permit Lender and Lender's agents and
representatives (including, without limitation, Lender's engineer, architect, or
inspector) or third parties performing Required Work pursuant to this Section
9.4 to enter onto the Property during normal business hours (subject to the
rights of tenants under their Leases) to inspect the progress of any Required
Work and all materials being used in connection therewith, to examine all plans
and shop drawings relating to such Required Work which are or may be kept at the
Property, and to complete any Required Work made pursuant to this Section 9.4.
Borrower shall cause all contractors and subcontractors to cooperate with Lender
and Lender's representatives or such
-53-
other persons described above in connection with inspections described in this
Section 9.4 or the completion of Required Work pursuant to this Section 9.4.
(f) Lender may, to the extent any Required Work would reasonably
require an inspection of the Property, inspect the Property at Borrower's
expense prior to making a disbursement of the Reserve Funds in excess of $50,000
in order to verify completion of the Required Work for which reimbursement is
sought. Borrower shall pay Lender a reasonable inspection fee not exceeding $500
for each such inspection. 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 the Reserve
Funds. Borrower shall pay the expense of the inspection as required hereunder,
whether such inspection is conducted by Lender or by an independent qualified
professional.
(g) The Required Work and all materials, equipment, fixtures, or
any other item comprising a part of any Required Work shall be constructed,
installed or completed, as applicable, free and clear of all mechanic's,
materialman's or other Liens (except for Permitted Encumbrances).
(h) Before each disbursement of the Reserve Funds in excess of
$50,000 (if any), 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 or other Liens of any nature have been
placed against the Property since the date of recordation of the Mortgage and
that title to the Property is free and clear of all Liens (except for Permitted
Encumbrances).
(i) All Required Work shall comply with all Legal Requirements and
applicable insurance requirements including, without limitation, applicable
building codes, special use permits, environmental regulations, and requirements
of insurance underwriters.
(j) Borrower hereby assigns to Lender all rights and claims
Borrower may have against all Persons supplying labor or materials in connection
with the Required Work; provided, however, that Lender may not pursue any such
rights or claims unless an Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured.
SECTION 9.5. RELEASE OF RESERVE FUNDS.
(a) Upon written request from Borrower and satisfaction of the
requirements set forth in this Section 9.5, Lender shall disburse to Borrower
amounts from (i) the Replacement Reserve Account to the extent necessary to
reimburse Borrower for the actual costs of any approved Replacements, or (ii)
the Leasing Reserve Account to the extent necessary to reimburse Borrower for
the actual costs of Tenant Improvements and/or Leasing Commissions incurred in
connection with Leases entered into in accordance with the Loan Documents
provided that (A) such Leasing Commissions are reasonable and customary for
properties similar to the Property and the portion of the Property leased for
which such Leasing Commissions are due, and (B) the amount of such Leasing
Commissions are determined pursuant to arm's-length transactions between
Borrower and any leasing agent to which a Leasing Commission is due, and
excluding
-54-
any Leasing Commissions which shall be due any member, general partner or
shareholder of Borrower or any affiliate of Borrower. Notwithstanding the
preceding sentence, in no event shall Lender be required to (x) disburse funds
from any of the Reserve Accounts if an Event of Default exists, or (y) disburse
funds from the Replacement Reserve Account to reimburse Borrower for the costs
of routine repairs or maintenance to the Property or for Tenant Improvements and
Leasing Commissions.
(b) Each request for disbursement in excess of $25,000 from any of
the Reserve Accounts shall be on a form provided or approved by Lender and shall
(i) include copies of invoices for all items or materials purchased and all
labor or services provided and (ii) specify (A) the Required Work for which the
disbursement is requested, (B) the quantity and price of each item purchased, if
the Required Work includes the purchase or replacement of specific items, (C)
the price of all materials (grouped by type or category) used in any Required
Work other than the purchase or replacement of specific items, and (D) the cost
of all contracted labor or other services applicable to each Required Work for
which such request for disbursement is made, and (iii) include, if such request
for disbursement is in connection with Tenant Improvements, a certificate from
the Tenant(s) for which the Tenant Improvements have been performed stating that
such Tenant Improvements have been completed in a manner satisfactory and
acceptable to such Tenant(s) and (unless disbursement is requested pursuant to
Section 9.5(d)), such Tenant(s) has accepted the premises demised under the
applicable Lease(s), and containing such other information as Lender may
require, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender, and/or if such
request for disbursement is in connection with Leasing Commissions, a
certificate from the leasing agent that no further sums are due to it in
connection with the applicable Lease. With each request Borrower shall certify
in writing to Lender that all Required Work has been performed in accordance
with all Legal Requirements and, with respect to each request less than or equal
to $25,000, that all such Required Work has been completed lien free and paid
for in full. Except as provided in Section 9.5(d), each request for disbursement
shall be made only after completion of the Replacement or Tenant Improvement (or
the portion thereof completed in accordance with Section 9.5(d)), or the full
performance by the leasing agent of its obligations (in the case of Leasing
Commissions), as applicable, for which disbursement is requested. Borrower shall
provide Lender evidence satisfactory to Lender in its reasonable judgment of
such completion or performance.
(c) Borrower shall pay all invoices in connection with the
Required Work with respect to which a disbursement is requested prior to
submitting such request for disbursement from the Reserve Accounts 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 the Required Work. 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 of the Reserve Funds. In
addition, as a condition to any disbursement in excess of $50,000, Lender may
require Borrower to obtain conditional lien waivers from each contractor,
supplier, materialman, mechanic or subcontractor with respect to the completion
of its work or delivery of its materials. Any conditional lien waiver delivered
hereunder shall conform to all Legal Requirements 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 disbursement request (or, in the event
that payment to such contractor, supplier, subcontractor,
-55-
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). In the case of Leasing Commissions, payment shall be made to any
leasing agent to which a Leasing Commission is due in the amount of invoices
submitted by such leasing agent, provided all of the other conditions for
disbursements for such Leasing Commissions are satisfied in the judgment of
Lender.
(d) If (i) the cost of any item of Required Work exceeds $50,000,
(ii) the contractor performing such Required Work requires periodic payments
pursuant to terms of a written contract, and (iii) Lender has approved in
writing in advance such periodic payments, a request for disbursement from the
Reserve Accounts 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 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 or are appropriately stored off-site, (C) all other conditions in this
Agreement for disbursement have been satisfied, and (D) in the case of a
Replacement, funds remaining in the Replacement Reserve Account are, in Lender's
judgment, sufficient to complete such Replacement and other Replacements when
required.
(e) Borrower shall not make a request for, nor shall Lender have
any obligation to make, any disbursement from any Reserve Account more
frequently than once in any calendar month and (except in connection with the
final disbursement) in any amount less than the lesser of (i) $10,000 or (ii)
the total cost of the Required Work or Leasing Commission for which the
disbursement is requested.
(f) Intentionally Deleted.
(g) In the event any Borrower requests a disbursement from the
Replacement Reserve Account to reimburse Borrower for the actual cost of labor
or materials used in connection with repairs or improvements other than the
Replacements specified in the Property Condition Report prepared in connection
with the closing of the Loan (an "ADDITIONAL REPLACEMENT"), Borrower shall
disclose in writing to Lender the reason why funds in the Replacement Reserve
Account should be used to pay for such Additional Replacement. If Lender
determines that (i) such Additional Replacement is of the type intended to be
covered by the Replacement Reserve Account, (ii) costs for such Additional
Replacement are reasonable, (iii) the funds in the Replacement Reserve Account
are sufficient to pay for such Additional Replacement and all other Replacements
for the Property specified in the Property Condition Report, and (iv) all other
conditions for disbursement under this Agreement have been met, Lender may
disburse funds from the Replacement Reserve Account.
(h) Lender's disbursement of any Reserve Funds or other
acknowledgment of completion of any Required Work in a manner satisfactory to
Lender shall not be deemed a certification or warranty by Lender to any Person
that the Required Work has been completed in accordance with Legal Requirements.
(i) If the funds in any Reserve Account should exceed the amount
of payments actually applied by Lender for the purposes of the account, Lender
shall either return any excess to Borrower or at the written request of Borrower
credit such excess against future payments to
-56-
be made to that Reserve Account. In allocating any such excess, Lender may deal
with the Person shown on Lender's records as being the owner of the Property. If
at any time Lender reasonably determines that the Reserve Funds are not or will
not be sufficient to make the required payments, Lender shall notify Borrower of
such determination and Borrower shall pay to Lender any amount necessary to make
up the deficiency within ten (10) days after notice from Lender to Borrower
requesting payment thereof.
(j) The insufficiency of any balance in any of the Reserve
Accounts shall not relieve Borrower from its obligation to fulfill all
preservation and maintenance covenants in the Loan Documents.
(k) Intentionally Deleted.
(l) Upon payment in full of the Debt, all amounts remaining on
deposit, if any, in the Replacement Reserve Account shall be returned to
Borrower or the Person shown on Lender's records as being the owner of the
Property and no other party shall have any right or claim thereto.
(m) Upon the earlier to occur of (i) the completion of all Tenant
Improvements and the full performance by the leasing agent of its obligations
with respect to any Leasing Commissions, as verified by Lender in its reasonable
discretion, or (ii) the payment in full of the Debt, all amounts remaining on
deposit, if any, in the Leasing Reserve Account shall be returned to Borrower or
the Person shown on Lender's records as being the owner of the Property and no
other party shall have any right or claim thereto.
SECTION 9.6. TAX AND INSURANCE RESERVE FUNDS.
Borrower shall establish on the date hereof an Eligible Account with
Lender or Lender's agent sufficient to discharge Borrower's obligations for the
payment of Taxes and Insurance Premiums pursuant to Section 5.4 and Section 8.1
hereof (the "TAX AND INSURANCE RESERVE ACCOUNT"). Upon and during the
continuance of (i) an Event of Default by Borrower under the Loan Documents,
(ii) an default by Tenant under the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Lease, or (iii) a Trigger Period
(collectively "COLLECTION EVENTS"), Borrower shall deposit with Lender an amount
which when added to the required monthly deposits set forth in the next
sentence, is sufficient to make the payments of Taxes and Insurance Premiums as
required herein. Borrower shall deposit into the Tax and Insurance Reserve
Account on each Scheduled Payment Date (a) upon a Collection Event, one-twelfth
of the Taxes that Lender estimates will be payable during the next ensuing
twelve (12) months or such higher amount necessary to accumulate with Lender
sufficient funds to pay all such Taxes at least thirty (30) days prior to the
earlier of (i) the date that the same will become delinquent and (ii) the date
that additional charges or interest will accrue due to the non-payment thereof,
and (b) except to the extent Lender has waived the insurance escrow because the
insurance required hereunder is maintained under a blanket insurance Policy
acceptable to Lender in accordance with Section 8.1(c), one-twelfth of the
Insurance Premiums that Lender estimates will be payable during the next ensuing
twelve (12) months for the renewal of the coverage afforded by the Policies upon
the expiration thereof or such higher amount necessary 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
-57-
the "TAX AND INSURANCE RESERVE FUNDS"). Lender will apply the Tax and Insurance
Reserve Funds to payments of Taxes and Insurance Premiums required to be made by
Borrower pursuant to Section 5.4 and Section 8.1 hereof. In making any
disbursement from the Tax and Insurance Reserve Account, Lender may do so
according to any ▇▇▇▇, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate
public office or tax lien service (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 Reserve Funds shall exceed the amounts due for Taxes and Insurance
Premiums pursuant to Section 5.4 and Section 8.1 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 Reserve Account. In
allocating any such excess, Lender may deal with the person shown on Lender's
records as being the owner of the Property. Any amount remaining in the Tax and
Insurance Reserve Account after the Debt has been paid in full shall be returned
to Borrower or the person shown on Lender's records as being the owner of the
Property and no other party shall have any right or claim thereto. If at any
time Lender reasonably determines that the Tax and Insurance Reserve Funds are
not or will not be sufficient to pay Taxes and Insurance Premiums by the dates
set forth in (a) and (b) above, Lender shall notify Borrower of such
determination and Borrower shall pay to Lender any amount necessary to make up
the deficiency within ten (10) days after notice from Lender to Borrower
requesting payment thereof.
SECTION 9.7. RESERVE FUNDS GENERALLY.
(a) (i) Except for the Replacement Reserve Account and the
Leasing Reserve Account, no earnings or interest on the Reserve Accounts shall
be payable to Borrower. Neither Lender nor any loan servicer that at any time
holds or maintains such non-interest-bearing Reserve Accounts shall have any
obligation to keep or maintain such Reserve Accounts or any funds deposited
therein in interest-bearing accounts. If Lender or any such loan servicer elects
in its sole and absolute discretion to keep or maintain any non-interest-bearing
Reserve Account or any funds deposited therein in an interest-bearing account,
the account shall be an Eligible Account and (A) such funds shall not be
invested except in Permitted Investments, and (B) all interest earned or accrued
thereon shall be for the account of and be retained by Lender or such loan
servicer.
(ii) Funds deposited in the Replacement Reserve Account
and the Leasing Reserve Account shall be held in an interest-bearing
business savings account and interest shall be credited to Borrower. In
no event shall Lender or any loan servicer that at any time holds or
maintains the Replacement Reserve Account be required to select any
particular interest-bearing account or the account that yields the
highest rate of interest, provided that selection of the account shall
be consistent with the general standards at the time being utilized by
Lender or the loan servicer, as applicable, in establishing similar
accounts for loans of comparable type. All such interest shall be and
become part of the Replacement Reserve Account and shall be disbursed
in accordance with Section 9.5 above; provided, however, that Lender
may, at its election, retain any such interest for its own account
during the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default. Borrower
agrees that it shall include all interest on Replacement Reserve Funds
as the income of Borrower (and, if Borrower is a partnership or other
pass-through entity,
-58-
the partners, members or beneficiaries of Borrower, as the case may
be), and shall be the owner of the Replacement Reserve Funds for
federal and applicable state and local tax purposes, except to the
extent that Lender retains any interest for its own account during the
occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default as provided herein.
(b) Borrower grants to Lender a first-priority perfected security
interest in, and assigns and pledges to Lender, each of the Reserve Accounts and
any and all Reserve Funds now or hereafter deposited in the Reserve Accounts as
additional security for payment of the Debt. Until expended or applied in
accordance herewith, the Reserve Accounts and the Reserve Funds shall constitute
additional security for the Debt. The provisions of this Section 9.7 are
intended to give Lender or any subsequent holder of the Loan "control" of the
Reserve Accounts within the meaning of the UCC.
(c) The Reserve Accounts and any and all Reserve Funds now or
hereafter deposited in the Reserve Accounts shall be subject to the exclusive
dominion and control of Lender, which shall hold the Reserve Accounts and any or
all Reserve Funds now or hereafter deposited in the Reserve Accounts subject to
the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Borrower shall have no right of
withdrawal from the Reserve Accounts or any other right or power with respect to
the Reserve Accounts or any or all of the Reserve Funds now or hereafter
deposited in the Reserve Accounts, except as expressly provided in this
Agreement.
(d) Lender shall furnish or cause to be furnished to Borrower,
without charge, an annual accounting of each Reserve Account in the normal
format of Lender or its loan servicer, showing credits and debits to such
Reserve Account and the purpose for which each debit to each Reserve Account was
made.
(e) As long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
Lender shall make disbursements from the Reserve Accounts in accordance with
this Agreement. All such disbursements shall be deemed to have been expressly
pre-authorized by Borrower, and shall not be deemed to constitute the exercise
by Lender of any remedies against Borrower unless an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing and Lender has expressly stated in writing its intent
to proceed to exercise its remedies as a secured party, pledgee or lienholder
with respect to the Reserve Accounts.
(f) If any Event of Default occurs, Borrower shall immediately
lose all of its rights to receive disbursements from the Reserve Accounts until
the earlier to occur of (i) the date on which such Event of Default is cured to
Lender's satisfaction, or (ii) the payment in full of the Debt. Upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Lender may
exercise any or all of its rights and remedies as a secured party, pledgee and
lienholder with respect to the Reserve Accounts. Without limitation of the
foregoing, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of
Default, Lender may use and disburse the Reserve Funds (or any portion thereof)
for any of the following purposes: (A) repayment of the Debt, including, but not
limited to, principal prepayments and the prepayment premium applicable to such
full or partial prepayment (as applicable); (B) reimbursement of Lender for all
losses, fees, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable
legal fees) suffered or incurred by Lender as a result of such Event of Default;
(C) payment of any amount expended in exercising any or all rights and remedies
available to Lender at law or in equity or under this Agreement or under any
-59-
of the other Loan Documents; (D) payment of any item from any of the Reserve
Accounts as required or permitted under this Agreement; or (E) any other purpose
permitted by applicable law; provided, however, that any such application of
funds shall not cure or be deemed to cure any Event of Default. Without limiting
any other provisions hereof, each of the remedial actions described in the
immediately preceding sentence shall be deemed to be a commercially reasonable
exercise of Lender's rights and remedies as a secured party with respect to the
Reserve Funds and shall not in any event be deemed to constitute a setoff or a
foreclosure of a statutory banker's lien. Nothing in this Agreement shall
obligate Lender to apply all or any portion of the Reserve Funds to effect a
cure of any Event of Default, or to pay the Debt, or in any specific order of
priority. The exercise of any or all of Lender's rights and remedies under this
Agreement or under any of the other Loan Documents shall not in any way
prejudice or affect Lender's right to initiate and complete a foreclosure under
the Mortgage.
(g) The Reserve Funds shall not constitute escrow or trust funds
and may be commingled with other monies held by Lender. Notwithstanding anything
else herein to the contrary, Lender may commingle in one or more Eligible
Accounts any and all funds controlled by Lender, including, without limitation,
funds pledged in favor of Lender by other borrowers, whether for the same
purposes as the Reserve Accounts or otherwise. Without limiting any other
provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the Reserve Accounts
may be established and held in such name or names as Lender or its loan
servicer, as agent for Lender, shall deem appropriate, including, without
limitation, in the name of Lender or such loan servicer as agent for Lender. In
the case of any Reserve Account which is held in a commingled account, Lender or
its loan servicer, as applicable, shall maintain records sufficient to enable it
to determine at all times which portion of such account is related to the Loan.
The Reserve Accounts are solely for the protection of Lender. With respect to
the Reserve Accounts, Lender shall have no responsibility beyond the allowance
of due credit for the sums actually received by Lender or beyond the
reimbursement or payment of the costs and expenses for which such accounts were
established in accordance with their terms. Upon assignment of the Loan by
Lender, any Reserve Funds shall be turned over to the assignee and any
responsibility of Lender as assignor shall terminate. The requirements of this
Agreement concerning Reserve Accounts in no way supersede, limit or waive any
other rights or obligations of the parties under any of the Loan Documents or
under applicable law.
(h) Borrower shall not, without obtaining the prior written
consent of Lender, further pledge, assign or grant any security interest in the
Reserve Accounts or the Reserve Funds deposited therein or permit any Lien to
attach thereto, except for the security interest granted in this Section 9.7, or
any levy to be made thereon, or any UCC Financing Statements, except those
naming Lender as the secured party, to be filed with respect thereto.
(i) Borrower will maintain the security interest created by this
Section 9.7 as a first priority perfected security interest and will defend the
right, title and interest of Lender in and to the Reserve Accounts and the
Reserve Funds against the claims and demands of all Persons whomsoever. At any
time and from time to time, upon the written request of Lender, and at the sole
expense of Borrower, Borrower will promptly and duly execute and deliver such
further instruments and documents and will take such further actions as Lender
reasonably may request for the purpose of obtaining or preserving the full
benefits of this Agreement and of the rights and powers herein granted.

following the date the same is due or if the entire Debt is not paid on or
before the Maturity Date;
(b) except as otherwise expressly provided in the Loan Documents,
if any of the Taxes or Other Charges are not paid when the same are due and

Account for payment of amounts then due and payable and Lender's access to such
money has not been constrained or restricted in any manner;
(c) if (i) the Policies are not kept in full force and effect,
(ii) the Accord 28 certificates (or similar certificates) are not delivered to
Lender in accordance with Section 8.1 or (iii) certified copies of the Policies

hereof and there exists no impediment to Lender's utilization thereof
or (B) there is insufficient cash flow from the operation of the
Property);
(vi) Borrower's failure to return or to reimburse Lender
for all Personal Property taken from the Property by or on behalf of

pursue recourse liability as set forth in subsection (a) above SHALL BECOME NULL
AND VOID and shall be of no further force and effect and the Debt shall be fully
recourse to Borrower and Borrower Principal on a joint and several basis in the
event (i) of a breach by Borrower, Borrower Principal or any SPE Component
Entity (if any) of any of the covenants set forth in Article 6 hereof, to the
extent that such breach is (A) material and (B) is not cured within fifteen (15)

petitioning creditors for any involuntary petition against Borrower from any
Person; (v) Borrower files an answer consenting to or otherwise acquiescing in
or joining in any involuntary petition filed against it, by any other Person
under any Creditors Rights Laws, or solicits or causes to be solicited

Affiliate, officer, director, or representative which controls Borrower
affirmatively consents to or acquiesces in or joins in an application for the
appointment of a custodian, receiver, trustee, or examiner for Borrower or any
portion of the Property.

which Lender may have under Section 506(a), 506(b), 1111(b) or any other
provision of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code to file a claim for the full amount of the
indebtedness secured by the Mortgage or to require that all collateral shall
continue to secure all of the indebtedness owing to Lender in accordance with
this Agreement, the Note, the Mortgage or the other Loan Documents.

same principal amount thereof and otherwise of like tenor and (ii) with respect
to the Note, (a) Borrower will execute a reaffirmation of the Debt as evidenced
by such Note acknowledging that Lender has informed Borrower that the Note was
lost, stolen destroyed or mutilated and that such Debt continues to be an
obligation and liability of the Borrower as set forth in the Note, a copy of
which shall be attached to such reaffirmation and (b) if requested by Lender,
Borrower will execute a replacement note and Lender or Lender's custodian (at
Lender's option) shall provide to Borrower Lender's (or Lender's custodian's)

-72-
SECTION 17.2. RECORDING OF MORTGAGE, ETC
Borrower forthwith upon the execution and delivery of the Mortgage and
thereafter, from time to time, will cause the Mortgage and any of the other Loan
Documents creating a lien or security interest or evidencing the lien hereof
upon the Property and each instrument of further assurance to be filed,
registered or recorded in such manner and in such places as may be required by
any present or future law in order to publish notice of and fully to protect and
perfect the lien or security interest hereof upon, and the interest of Lender
in, the Property. Borrower will pay all taxes, filing, registration or recording
fees, and all reasonable expenses incident to the preparation, execution,
acknowledgment and/or recording of the Note, the Mortgage, the other Loan
Documents, any note, deed of trust or mortgage supplemental hereto, any Mortgage
with respect to the Property and any instrument of further assurance, and any
modification or amendment of the foregoing documents, and all federal, state,
county and municipal taxes, duties, imposts, assessments and charges arising out
of or in connection with the execution and delivery of the Mortgage, any deed of
trust or mortgage supplemental hereto, any Mortgage with respect to the Property
or any instrument of further assurance, and any modification or amendment of the
foregoing documents, except where prohibited by law so to do.
SECTION 17.3. FURTHER ACTS, ETC
Borrower will, at the cost of Borrower, and without expense to Lender,
do, execute, acknowledge and deliver all and every further acts, deeds,
conveyances, deeds of trust, mortgages, assignments, security agreements,
control agreements, notices of assignments, transfers and assurances as Lender
shall, from time to time, reasonably require, for the better assuring,
conveying, assigning, transferring, and confirming unto Lender the property and
rights hereby mortgaged, deeded, granted, bargained, sold, conveyed, confirmed,
pledged, assigned, warranted and transferred or intended now or hereafter so to
be, or which Borrower may be or may hereafter become bound to convey or assign
to Lender, or for carrying out the intention or facilitating the performance of
the terms of this Agreement or for filing, registering or recording the
Mortgage, or for complying with all Legal Requirements. Borrower, on demand,
will execute and deliver, and in the event it shall fail to so execute and
deliver, hereby authorizes Lender to execute in the name of Borrower or without

this Agreement which deducts the Debt from the value of the Property for the
purpose of taxation or which imposes a tax, either directly or indirectly, on
the Debt or Lender's interest in the Property, Borrower will pay the tax, with
interest and penalties thereon, if any. If Lender is advised by counsel chosen
by it that the payment of tax by Borrower would be unlawful or taxable to Lender
or unenforceable or provide the basis for a defense of usury then Lender shall
have the
-73-
option by written notice of not less than one hundred twenty (120) days to
declare the Debt immediately due and payable provided that no prepayment premium
shall be payable in connection therewith.
(b) Borrower will not claim or demand or be entitled to any credit

assessed against the Property, or any part thereof, and no deduction shall
otherwise be made or claimed from the assessed value of the Property, or any
part thereof, for real estate tax purposes by reason of the Mortgage or the
Debt. If such claim, credit or deduction shall be required by law, Lender shall
have the option, by written notice of not less than one hundred twenty (120)
days, to declare the Debt immediately due and payable.
If at any time the United States of America, any State thereof or any
subdivision of any such State shall require revenue or other stamps to be
affixed to the Note, the Mortgage, or any of the other Loan Documents or impose
any other tax or charge on the same, Borrower will pay for the same, with
interest and penalties thereon, if any.
SECTION 17.5. EXPENSES.
Except as otherwise expressly provided in any of the Loan Documents,
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
out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable, actual outside counsel
fees and disbursements) reasonably incurred by Lender in accordance with this
Agreement in connection with (a) the preparation, negotiation, execution and
delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the consummation of

performance and compliance with all agreements and conditions contained in this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents on its part to be performed or complied
with after the Closing Date; (d) the negotiation, preparation, execution,
delivery and administration of any consents, amendments, waivers or other
modifications to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other

-74-
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.
ARTICLE 18
WAIVERS
SECTION 18.1. REMEDIES CUMULATIVE; WAIVERS.
The rights, powers and remedies of Lender under this Agreement shall be
cumulative and not exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which Lender
may have against Borrower or Borrower Principal 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 Default or Event of Default with respect to Borrower shall not be
construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default by
Borrower or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon.
SECTION 18.2. 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 therefrom, shall in any event
be effective unless the same shall be in a writing signed by the party against
whom enforcement is sought, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective
only in the specific instance, and for the purpose, for which given. Except as
otherwise expressly provided herein, no notice to, or demand on Borrower, shall
entitle Borrower to any other or future notice or demand in the same, similar or
other circumstances.
SECTION 18.3. DELAY NOT A WAIVER.
Neither any failure nor any delay on the part of Lender in insisting
upon strict performance of any term, condition, covenant or agreement, or
exercising any right, power, remedy or privilege hereunder, or under the Note or
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 18.4. TRIAL BY JURY.
-75-
BORROWER, BORROWER PRINCIPAL AND LENDER EACH HEREBY AGREES NOT TO ELECT
A TRIAL BY 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 REGARD TO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR ANY CLAIM, COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER
ACTION ARISING IN CONNECTION THEREWITH. THIS WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IS
GIVEN KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY BY BORROWER, BORROWER PRINCIPAL AND LENDER, AND
IS INTENDED TO ENCOMPASS INDIVIDUALLY EACH INSTANCE AND EACH ISSUE AS TO WHICH
THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY WOULD OTHERWISE ACCRUE. EACH OF LENDER, BORROWER
PRINCIPAL AND BORROWER IS HEREBY AUTHORIZED TO FILE A COPY OF THIS PARAGRAPH IN
ANY PROCEEDING AS CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OF THIS WAIVER BY BORROWER, BORROWER
PRINCIPAL AND LENDER.
SECTION 18.5. 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.
SECTION 18.6. 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. Lender
agrees that, in such event, it shall cooperate in expediting any action seeking
injunctive relief or declaratory judgment.
SECTION 18.7. 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
-76-
to the payment of the Debt out of the net proceeds of the Property in preference
to every other claimant whatsoever.
SECTION 18.8. WAIVER OF STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS.
Borrower hereby expressly waives and releases, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, the pleading of any statute of limitations as a defense to
payment of the Debt or performance of its Other Obligations.
SECTION 18.9. WAIVER OF COUNTERCLAIM.
Borrower hereby waives the right to assert a counterclaim, other than a
mandatory or compulsory counterclaim (or any other claim that must be raised at
the time of response to any claim by Lender in order not to be waived), in any
action or proceeding brought against it by Lender or its agents.
SECTION 18.10. GRADSKY WAIVERS.
Borrower and Borrower Principal hereby waive each of the following:
(a) Any rights of Borrower Principal of subrogation,
reimbursement, indemnification, and/or contribution against Borrower or any
other person or entity, and any other rights and defenses that are or may become
available to Borrower Principal or any other person or entity by reasons of
Sections 2787-2855, inclusive of the California Civil Code;
(b) Any rights or defenses that may be available by reason of any
election of remedies by Lender (including, without limitation, any such election
which in any manner impairs, effects, reduces, releases, destroys or
extinguishes Borrower Principal's subrogation rights, rights to proceed against
Borrower for reimbursement, or any other rights of Borrower Principal to proceed
against any other person, entity or security, including but not limited to any
defense based upon an election of remedies by Lender under the provisions of
Section 580(d) of the California Code of Civil Procedure or any similar law of
California or of any other State or of the United Sates); and
(c) Any rights or defenses Borrower Principal may have because its
obligations under this Agreement (the "BORROWER PRINCIPAL OBLIGATIONS") are
secured by real property or any estate for years. These rights or defenses
include, but are not limited to, any rights or defenses that are based upon,
directly or indirectly, the application of Section 580(a), Section 580(b),
Section 580(d) or Section 726 of the California Code of Civil Procedure to the
Borrower Principal Obligations.
The provisions of this subsection (c) mean, among other things:
(y) Lender may collect from Borrower Principal without
first foreclosing on any real or personal property collateral pledged
by Borrower for the Debt; and
(z) If Lender forecloses on a real property pledged by
Borrower:
-77-
(1) The Borrower Principal Obligations shall be
reduced only by the price for which the collateral is sold at
the foreclosure sale even if the collateral is worth more at
the time of the sale.
(2) Lender may collect from Borrower Principal
even if Lender, by foreclosing on the real property
collateral, has destroyed any right of Borrower Principal to
collect from Borrower. Further, the provisions of this
Agreement constitute an unconditional and irrevocable waiver
of any rights and defenses Borrower Principal may have because
Borrower's obligations are secured by real property. These
rights and defenses, include, but are not limited to, any
rights or defenses based upon Section 580(a), Section 580(b),
Section 580(d) or Section 726 of the California Code of Civil
Procedure.

SECTION 19.2. SEVERABILITY.

or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any
Creditors Rights Laws, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause,

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.
ARTICLE 20
MISCELLANEOUS

restrict Lender's ability to delegate the servicing rights with respect to the
Loan pursuant to Section 13.2 of this Agreement.
SECTION 20.2. 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

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 20.7. 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.
(c) The general partners, members, principals and (if Borrower is
a trust) beneficial owners of Borrower are experienced in the ownership and
operation of properties similar to the Property, and Borrower and Lender are
relying solely upon such expertise and business plan in connection with the
ownership and operation of the Property. Borrower is not relying on Lender's
expertise, business acumen or advice in connection with the Property.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,
Lender is not undertaking the performance of (i) any obligations under the
Leases; or (ii) any obligations with respect to such agreements, contracts,
certificates, instruments, franchises, permits, trademarks, licenses and other
documents.
(e) By accepting or approving anything required to be observed,
performed or fulfilled or to be given to Lender pursuant to this Agreement, the
Mortgage, the Note or the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation,
any officer's certificate, balance sheet, statement of profit and loss or other
financial statement, survey, appraisal, or insurance policy, Lender shall not be
deemed to have warranted, consented to, or affirmed the sufficiency, the
legality or effectiveness of same, and such acceptance or approval thereof shall
not constitute any warranty or affirmation with respect thereto by Lender.
-80-
(f) Borrower recognizes and acknowledges that in accepting this
Agreement, the Note, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, Lender is
expressly and primarily relying on the truth and accuracy of the representations
and warranties set forth in Article 4 of this Agreement without any obligation
to investigate the Property and notwithstanding any investigation of the
Property by Lender; that such reliance existed on the part of Lender prior to
the date hereof, that the warranties and representations are a material
inducement to Lender in making the Loan; and that Lender would not be willing to
make the Loan and accept this Agreement, the Note, the Mortgage and the other
Loan Documents in the absence of the warranties and representations as set forth
in Article 4 of this Agreement.
SECTION 20.8. 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, Lender, Banc of America Securities LLC, or any of their Affiliates
shall be subject to the prior written approval of Lender, not to be unreasonably
withheld. Lender shall be permitted to make any news, releases, publicity or
advertising by Lender or its Affiliates through any media intended to reach the
general public which refers to the Loan, the Property, Borrower, Borrower
Principal and their respective Affiliates without the approval of Borrower or
any such Persons. Borrower also agrees that Lender may share any information
pertaining to the Loan with Bank of America Corporation, including its bank
subsidiaries, Banc of America Securities LLC and any other Affiliates of the
foregoing, in connection with the sale or transfer of the Loan or any
Participations and/or Securities created.
SECTION 20.9. 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 20.10. ENTIRE AGREEMENT.

agreement of the parties hereto and thereto in respect of the transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby, and all prior agreements among or between such
parties, whether oral or written between Borrower and Lender are superseded by
