Custodian to deliver to Borrower the applicable Mortgage Note and Mortgage Loan
Documents, together with the original unrecorded assignment of said Mortgage
Loan Documents from Borrower to Agent, and (ii) so long as no Default or Event
of Default exists and so long as the release of said Mortgage Loan from the
Collateral will not create (or cause the continued existence of) a Borrowing
Base Deficiency, Borrower may retain the amount repaid under the Mortgage Loan.

thereunder when a Default or an Event of Default exists, the entire amount
repaid shall be immediately paid to Agent, for the benefit of Lender, which
amount shall be applied by Lender to the repayment of the Loans and all amounts
payable by Borrower under the Loan Documents in such order and priority as
Lender may determine. If a Mortgage Loan that is part of the Collateral is
repaid by the Mortgagor thereunder and the release by Agent of said Mortgage
Loan from the Collateral will cause a Borrowing Base Deficiency, Borrower shall,
prior to or simultaneously with the release by Agent of said Mortgage Loan from
the Collateral, either (x) prepay the Revolving Loan in part or in whole, (y)

from any loss or expense which Lender (or hedging counterparty) incurs as a
consequence of any prepayment (whether optional or mandatory) of the Loans if
Borrower did not give the prior written notice of such prepayment required
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or if Borrower breached the restrictions
of this Section 2.06, including, without limitation, such loss or expense
arising from interest or fees payable by Lender (or hedging counterparty) to
lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain the Loan hereunder. This

financial covenants set forth in Section 7.18 of this Agreement upon not less
than thirty (30) days' prior written notice from Borrower to Agent and Lender,
which notice of prepayment shall be irrevocable. An express condition to
Borrower's right to prepay the Term Loan or the Revolving Loan under this
Section and to Lender's obligations to accept such prepayment is the
simultaneous payment by Borrower of the Prepayment Fee (with respect to the Term
Loan) and the Breakage Fee (with respect to the Term Loan and the Revolving
Loan), each to the extent applicable. The Prepayment Fee shall be paid by
Borrower in connection with any prepayment of the Term Loan under this Section
made or required to be made on or prior to May 1, 2011. The Breakage Fee shall
be paid by Borrower in

connection with any prepayment of the Term Loan or the Revolving Loan under this
Section on a day other than the last day of Interest Period. Partial prepayments
of the Term Loan and the Revolving Loan shall be permitted under this Section if
such prepayments are necessary for Borrower to satisfy any requirements
regarding Borrower's Indebtedness imposed upon Borrower under the Investment
Company Act of 1940. Any partial prepayment made by Borrower pursuant to the
immediately preceding sentence shall not be conditioned upon there being no
Default or Event of Default at the time of the partial prepayment, shall require
three (3) Business Days (as opposed to 30 days) prior written notice from
Borrower to Agent and Lender, and shall be accompanied by the simultaneous
payment by Borrower of the Prepayment Fee (with respect to the Term Loan) and
the Breakage Fee (with respect to the Term Loan and the Revolving Loan), each to
the extent applicable.
2.07 LIBOR Rate Provisions.
(a) If any requirement of law or any change therein, or in the
interpretation or application thereof, shall hereafter make it unlawful for
Lender in good faith to make or maintain the Loan bearing interest at a LIBOR
Rate, (i) the obligation of Lender hereunder to make the Loan bearing interest
at the LIBOR Rate (plus the Applicable Margin) shall be canceled forthwith and
(ii) the Contract Rate shall (notwithstanding anything provided in this
Agreement to the contrary) automatically convert to the Adjusted Rate commencing
on the first day of the next succeeding Interest Period or within such earlier
period as required by law. Borrower shall promptly pay Lender, upon demand, any
additional amounts necessary to compensate Lender for any reasonable third party
costs incurred by Lender in making any conversion in accordance with this
Agreement, including without limitation, any interest or fees payable by Lender
to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to make or maintain the Loan. Upon
written demand from Borrower, Agent or Lender shall demonstrate in reasonable
detail the circumstances giving rise to Lender's determination and the
calculation substantiating the Adjusted Rate and any additional costs incurred
by Lender in making the conversion, which, upon written notice thereof from
Agent or Lender, as certified to Borrower, shall be conclusive absent manifest
error. In the event Lender shall determine in its good faith (which
determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower) that the aforesaid
circumstances no longer exist, the Contract Rate shall be converted back to the
LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Margin commencing on the first day of the
Interest Period which occurs at least three (3) days after such determination by
Lender.
(b) In the event that any change in any requirement of law or in the
interpretation or application thereof other than changes relating to income,
excise, franchise or other taxes applicable to Lender, or compliance in good
faith by Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force
of law) hereafter issued by any central bank or other Governmental Authority:
(i) shall hereafter impose, modify or hold applicable any
reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against
assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of,
advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition
of funds, by any office of Lender which is not otherwise included in the
determination of the LIBOR Rate hereunder;
-20-
(ii) shall hereafter have the effect of reducing the rate of
return on Lender's capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to
a level below that which Lender could have achieved but for such adoption,
change or compliance (taking into consideration Lender's policies with
respect to capital adequacy) by any amount deemed by Lender to be material;
or
(iii) shall hereafter impose on Lender any other condition;
and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Lender of
making, renewing or maintaining loans or extensions of credit or to reduce any
amount receivable hereunder, then, in any such case, Borrower shall promptly pay
Lender, upon demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate Lender for
such additional cost or reduced amount receivable as determined by Lender
(collectively, "INCREASED COSTS"). If Lender becomes entitled to claim any
Increased Costs pursuant to this Section, Lender shall provide Borrower with not
less than thirty (30) days' written notice specifying in reasonable detail the
event or circumstance by reason of which it has become so entitled and the
additional amount required to fully-compensate Lender for such Increased Costs.
A certificate as to any Increased Costs submitted by Agent or Lender to Borrower
shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. This provision shall
survive the repayment of the Loan and the satisfaction of all other obligations
of Borrower under the Loan Documents.
(c) Borrower shall indemnify Lender and to hold Lender harmless from,
and to be responsible for paying, any Conversion Costs. This provision shall
survive payment of the Loan in full and the satisfaction of all other
obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents. As used herein "CONVERSION
COSTS" means any reasonable third party loss or expense which Lender sustains or
incurs as a consequence of (a) any default by Borrower in payment of the
principal of or interest on the Loan while bearing interest at the LIBOR Rate
(plus the Applicable Margin), including, without limitation, any such expense
arising from interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by
it in order to maintain the LIBOR Rate (plus the Applicable Margin), (b) any
prepayment (whether voluntary or mandatory) of the Loan on a day that (i) is not
on the last day of the Interest Period (including, without limitation, the
Prepayment Fee and the Breakage Fee, each to the extent applicable) or (ii) is
on the last day of the Interest Period if Borrower did not give the prior
written notice of such prepayment required pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement, including, without limitation, such expense arising from interest or
fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain
the LIBOR Rate (plus the Applicable Margin) hereunder and (c) the conversion
(for any reason whatsoever, whether voluntary or involuntary) of the LIBOR Rate
(plus the Applicable Margin) to the Adjusted Rate with respect to any portion of
the outstanding principal amount of the Loan then bearing interest at the LIBOR
Rate (plus the Applicable Margin) on a date other than on the last day of the
Interest Period, including, without limitation, such expenses arising from
interest or fees payable or which would be payable by Lender to lenders of funds
obtained by it in order to maintain the LIBOR Rate hereunder.
(d) All payments made by Borrower under this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents shall be made free and clear of, and without reduction for or on
account of, Foreign Taxes, excluding, in the case of the Lender, taxes measured
by its income, and franchise taxes imposed on it. If any non-excluded Foreign
Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts
-21-
payable to Lender hereunder, the amounts so payable to Lender shall be increased
to the extent necessary to yield to Lender (after payment of all non-excluded
Foreign Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rate
or in the amounts specified hereunder. Whenever any non-excluded Foreign Tax is
payable pursuant to applicable law by Borrower, as promptly as possible
thereafter, Borrower shall send to Lender an original official receipt, if
available, or certified copy thereof showing payment of such non-excluded
Foreign Tax. Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify Lender for, and to be
responsible for the payment of, any incremental taxes, interest or penalties
that may become payable by Lender which may result from any failure by Borrower
to pay any such non-excluded Foreign Tax when due to the appropriate taxing
authority or any failure by Borrower to remit to Lender the required receipts or
other required documentary evidence. Lender's inability to notify Borrower of
any such Foreign Tax in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence shall
in no way relieve Borrower of its obligations under this Section. As used herein
"FOREIGN TAXES" means, collectively, income, stamp or other taxes, levies,
imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions, reserves or withholdings imposed,
levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority, which are
imposed, enacted or become effective after the date hereof. As used herein
"GOVERNMENTAL AUTHORITY" shall mean any court, board, agency, commission, office
or other authority of any nature whatsoever for any governmental ▇▇▇▇ (▇▇▇▇▇▇▇,
▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇ or otherwise) whether new or hereafter
in existence. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the
foregoing obligation to pay such additional amounts resulting from the payment
of Foreign Taxes shall not apply to any payment to Lender if Lender is, on the
date hereof (or on the date that it becomes a Lender hereunder), entitled to
submit either a Form ▇-▇▇▇▇, ▇-▇▇▇▇ or W-8IMY (relating to such Lender and
certifying its complete exemption from Foreign Taxes in respect of the Loan) and
does submit such Form ▇-▇▇▇▇, ▇-▇▇▇▇ or W-8IMY and such exemption remains in
effect throughout the term of the Loan with respect to Lender (other than by
reason of a change in law after the date of this Agreement).
(e) If Lender shall have determined that the adoption of or any change
in any Requirement of Law (other than with respect to any amendment made to
Lender's certificate of incorporation and by-laws or other organizational or
governing documents) regarding capital adequacy or in the interpretation or
application thereof or compliance by Lender or any corporation controlling
Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not
having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority made subsequent to the
date hereof shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on Lender's or
such corporation's capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a
level below that which Lender or such corporation would have achieved but for
such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration Lender's or such
corporation's policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by
Lender to be material, then from time to time, Borrower shall promptly pay to
Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Lender for such
reduction.
(f) If Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts
pursuant to this Section, it shall promptly notify Borrower of the event by
reason of which it has become so entitled. A certificate as to any additional
amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted by Lender to Borrower shall
be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.
-22-
2.08 Limitation on Interest. It is the intention of the parties hereto to
conform strictly to applicable usury laws. Accordingly, all agreements between
Borrower and Lender with respect to the Loan are hereby expressly limited so
that in no event, whether by reason of acceleration of maturity or otherwise,
shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid to Lender or charged by Lender for
the use, forbearance or detention of the money to be lent hereunder or
otherwise, exceed the maximum amount allowed by law. If the Loan would be
usurious under applicable law (including the laws of the State and the laws of
the United States of America), then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
the Loan Documents: (a) the aggregate of all consideration which constitutes
interest under applicable law that is contracted for, taken, reserved, charged
or received under the Loan Documents shall under no circumstances exceed the
maximum amount of interest allowed by applicable law, and any excess shall be
credited, without any Prepayment Fee, to the outstanding principal of the
Revolving Loan and then the Term Loan; and (b) if the Maturity Date is
accelerated by reason of an election by Lender in accordance with the terms
hereof, or in the event of any prepayment, then any consideration which
constitutes interest may never include more than the maximum amount allowed by
applicable law. In such case, excess interest, if any, provided for in the Loan
Documents or otherwise, to the extent permitted by applicable law, shall be
amortized, prorated, allocated and spread from the date of advance until payment
in full thereof so that the actual rate of interest is uniform through the term
hereof. If such amortization, proration, allocation and spreading is not
permitted under applicable law, then such excess interest shall be cancelled
automatically on the Note as of the date of such acceleration or prepayment and,
if theretofore paid, shall be credited, without any Prepayment Fee, to the
outstanding principal of the Revolving Loan and then the Term Loan. The terms
and provisions of this Section 2.08 shall control and supersede every other
provision of the Loan Documents. The Loan Documents are contracts made under and
shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts as set forth in Section 12.09 hereof, except that
if at any time the laws of the United States of America permit Lender to
contract for, take, reserve, charge or receive a higher rate of interest than is
allowed by the laws of the State (whether such federal laws directly so provide
or refer to the law of any state), then such federal laws shall to such extent
govern as to the rate of interest which Lender may contract for, take, reserve,
charge or receive under the Loan Documents.

3.01 Payments.
(a) All payments of principal, interest and other amounts to be made
by Borrower under this Agreement, the Note and any other Loan Document, shall be

regularly scheduled monthly payments of interest and all other payments from

(b) If the due date of any payment under this Agreement or the Notes
would otherwise fall on a day that is not a Business Day, such date shall be
extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and interest shall accrue and be
payable for any principal so extended for the period of such extension.
(c) Each payment received by Lender hereunder, under the Notes or any
other Loan Document shall be applied in the following order:
(i) First, to the interest due on any advances made by Lender or
Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document;
(ii) Next, to the principal amount of any advances made by Lender
or Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document;
(iii) Next, to late charges, attorneys' fees or any other amount
due hereunder or under any other Loan Document save for the
amounts described in clauses (iv), (v) and (vi) immediately
below;
(iv) Next, to any Prepayment Fee and any Breakage Fee then due

(v) Next, to accrued interest due Lender under this Agreement or
any of the other Loan Documents; and
(vi) Next, to the principal balance of the of the Revolving Loan;
(vii) Finally, to the principal balance of the Term Loan.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, during the continuance of an Event of Default or
in the event that Borrower does not pay the outstanding principal balance and
accrued interest due under this Agreement, when due, whether on the Maturity
Date or on any earlier date as a result of acceleration of the Loan, Agent and
Lender shall apply any payments Agent or Lender then receives in such order as
Agent and Lender deems appropriate in their sole discretion.
3.02 Computations. Interest on the Loans shall be computed on the basis of
a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed occurring in the period for
which payable.
3.03 Fees.
(a) Commitment Fee. On or before the Effective Date, Borrower shall
pay to Agent, for the account of Lender, the Commitment Fee.
(b) Unused Revolving Loan Fee. On the tenth (10th) day of each
calendar quarter prior to the Maturity Date (January 10, April 10, July 10 and
October 10) and on the
-24-
Maturity Date, Borrower shall pay Lender a fee (the "UNUSED REVOLVING LOAN FEE")
in an amount equal to thirty-two (32) basis points (per quarter) multiplied by
the difference between the Maximum Revolving Loan Credit and the average daily
outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Loan for the immediately
preceding calendar quarter, as calculated by Agent. If applicable, the first and
last payment of the Unused Revolving Loan Fee shall be prorated if the period of
time between the Effective Date and the end of the then current calendar quarter
or the period of time between the end of the prior calendar quarter and the
Maturity Date is less than a full calendar quarter.
Section 4. Collateral Security.
4.01 Collateral; Security Interest.

Mortgage Loan Documents and the Pledged Securities as exclusive bailee, agent

its perfected status in the Collateral with the same or better priority.
Borrower's federal tax identification number is ▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and its
organizational identification number is 7D-287. Borrower shall promptly notify
Agent of any change in any such tax identification number or organizational
identification number.
4.04 Agent's Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact.
(a) Borrower hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Agent and any
officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and
lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place
and stead of Borrower and in the name of Borrower or in its own name, from time
to time in Lender's discretion, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of
this Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute
-26-
any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or desirable to
accomplish the purposes of this Agreement; provided that Agent hereby agrees
that it shall not exercise its rights as attorney-in-fact unless an Event of
Default shall have occurred. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
Borrower hereby gives Agent the power and right, on behalf of Borrower, without
assent by, but with notice to, Borrower, if an Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, to do the following:
(i) in the name of Borrower or its own name, or otherwise, to
take possession of and endorse and collect any checks, drafts, notes,
acceptances or other instruments for the payment of moneys due under any
mortgage insurance or with respect to any other Collateral and to file any claim
or to take any other action or proceeding in any court of law or equity or
otherwise deemed appropriate by Agent for the purpose of collecting any and all
such moneys due under any such mortgage insurance or with respect to any other
Collateral whenever payable;
(ii) to pay or discharge taxes and Liens levied or placed on or
threatened against the Collateral; and
(iii) (A) to direct any party liable for any payment under any
Collateral to make payment of any and all moneys due or to become due thereunder

action or proceeding brought against Borrower with respect to any Collateral;
(F) to settle, compromise or adjust any suit, action or proceeding described in
clause (E) above and, in connection therewith, to give such discharges or
releases as Agent may deem appropriate; and (G) generally, to sell, transfer,
pledge and make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the
Collateral as fully and completely as though Agent were the absolute owner
thereof for all purposes, and to do, at Agent's option and Borrower's expense,
at any time, and from time to time, all acts and things which Agent deems
necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and Agent's Liens
thereon and to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively
as Borrower might do.
Borrower hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to
be done by virtue hereof. This power of attorney is a power coupled with an
interest and shall be irrevocable.
(b) Borrower also authorizes Agent, at any time and from time to time,
to execute, in connection with any sale provided for in Section 4.07 or Section
9 hereof, any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or
transfer with respect to the Collateral and to file any initial financing
statement, amendments thereto and continuation statements with or without the
signature of any Borrower as authorized by applicable law, as applicable to all
or any part of the Collateral.
-27-
(c) The powers conferred on Agent are solely to protect Lender's
interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon Agent to exercise
any such powers. Agent shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually
receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither Agent nor any
of its officers, directors, or employees shall be responsible to Borrower for
any act or failure to act hereunder, except for its own gross negligence or
willful misconduct.
4.05 Performance by Agent of Borrower's Obligations. If Borrower fails to
perform or comply with any of its covenants, agreements or obligations contained
in the Loan Documents (except with respect to the payment of any amounts,
whether in respect of any principal, interest or otherwise, owing to Lender
under this Agreement or any other Loan Document) and Agent itself performs or
complies, or otherwise causes performance or compliance, with such agreement,
the expenses of Agent incurred in connection with such performance or
compliance, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate, shall be payable
by Borrower to Agent on demand and shall constitute Secured Obligations.
4.06 Proceeds. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, (a)
all proceeds of Collateral received by Borrower consisting of cash, checks and
other near-cash items shall be held by Borrower in trust for Agent, for the
benefit of Lender, segregated from other funds of Borrower, and shall forthwith
be turned over by Borrower to the Custodian, to be held in trust by the
Custodian for Agent, for the benefit of Lender, and, upon receipt by the
Custodian of written notice from Agent directing that Collateral proceeds in a
specified amount be turned over to Agent and confirming that the Collateral
proceeds so turned over will be applied promptly by Agent first to the payment
of Borrower's obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the
Custodian shall turn over to Agent such specified Collateral proceeds in the
exact form received by the Custodian (duly endorsed by Borrower to Agent, if
required), (b) any and all such Collateral proceeds received by Agent shall,
promptly following Agent's receipt thereof, be applied to repayment in full (or
to the fullest extent possible) of all outstanding obligations of Borrower under
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and (c) Agent shall, upon
completion of the foregoing, confirm in writing to the Custodian the application
of such Collateral proceeds in accordance with the foregoing and the nature and
amount of all indebtedness repaid in whole or in part. For purposes hereof,
Collateral proceeds shall include, but not be limited to, all principal and
interest payments, all prepayments and payoffs, insurance claims, condemnation
awards, sale proceeds, real estate owned rents and any other income and all
other amounts received with respect to the Collateral.
4.07 Remedies. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, Agent
may, at its option and at Borrower's expense, enter into one or more Interest
Rate Protection Agreements covering all or a portion of the Mortgage Loans
pledged to Agent, for the benefit of Lender hereunder, and Borrower shall be
responsible for all damages, judgments, costs and expenses of any kind which may
be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Agent relating to or arising out
of such Interest Rate Protection Agreements; including, without limitation, any
losses resulting from such Interest Rate Protection Agreements. If an Event of
Default shall occur and be continuing, Agent may exercise, in addition to all
other rights and remedies granted to it in this Agreement and in any other Loan
Document, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform
Commercial Code. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Agent without
demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or
notice
-28-
of any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below) to or upon
Borrower or any other Person (each and all of which demands, presentments,
protests, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may in such
circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the
Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, assign, give
option or options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver the
Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one
or more parcels or as an entirety at public or private sale or sales, at any
exchange, broker's board or office of Agent or elsewhere upon such terms and
conditions and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for
future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. Agent shall have the
right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by law,
upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the
Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in Borrower, which
right or equity is hereby waived or released. Borrower further agrees, at
Agent's request, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to Agent at
places that Agent shall reasonably select, whether at Borrower's premises or
elsewhere. Agent shall apply the net proceeds of any such collection, recovery,
receipt, appropriation, realization or sale, after deducting all reasonable
costs and expenses of every kind incurred therein or incidental to the care or
safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or
the rights of Agent hereunder, including without limitation reasonable
attorneys' fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the
Secured Obligations, in such order as Agent may elect, and only after such
application and after the payment by Agent of any other amount required or
permitted by any provision of law, including, without limitation, Sections
9-608(a) and 9-615(a) of the Uniform Commercial Code, and Agent shall account
for the surplus, if any, to Borrower. To the extent permitted by applicable law,
Borrower waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against Agent or
Lender arising out of the exercise by Agent or Lender of any of their respective
rights hereunder, other than those claims, damages and demands arising from the
gross negligence or willful misconduct of Agent or Lender. If any notice of a
proposed sale or other disposition of Collateral shall be required by law, such
notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least ten (10) days
before such sale or other disposition. Borrower shall remain liable for any
deficiency (plus accrued interest thereon at the Default Rate) if the proceeds
of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay the
Secured Obligations and the fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by
Agent to collect such deficiency.
4.08 Limitation on Duties Regarding Preservation of Collateral. Agent's
duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the
Collateral in its possession, under Section 9-207 of the Uniform Commercial Code
or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as Agent deals with
similar property for its own account. Neither Agent, Lender nor any of their
respective directors, officers or employees shall be liable for failure to
demand, collect or realize upon all or any part of the Collateral or for any
delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose
of any Collateral upon the request of Borrower or otherwise.
4.09 Powers Coupled with an Interest. All authorizations and agencies
herein contained with respect to the Collateral are irrevocable and powers
coupled with an interest.
-29-
4.10 Release of Security Interest. Upon termination of this Agreement and
repayment to Lender of all Secured Obligations and the performance of all
obligations under the Loan Documents, Agent shall release its security interest
in any remaining Collateral.
4.11 Additional and Substitute Mortgage Loans. So long as no Default or
Event of Default exists, Borrower may add an Eligible Mortgage Loan or Eligible
Mortgage Loans to the Mortgage Loans constituting the Collateral upon
satisfaction of each of the following conditions, as determined by Agent and
Lender in their sole discretion:
(a) At least ten (10) Business Days prior to the date Borrower
proposes to add an Eligible Mortgage Loan to the Collateral, Borrower shall
deliver to Agent the Mortgage Loan Documents, the Mortgage File and the Mortgage
Data File for said Mortgage Loan; an appraisal of the Mortgaged Property, an
environmental site assessment for the Mortgaged Property, an engineering or
property condition report for the buildings, improvements and building systems
on the Mortgaged Property, an ALTA survey of the Mortgaged Property, a title
insurance policy insuring the Mortgage (or a marked up title insurance
commitment or pro-forma title insurance policy, so long as the title insurance
coverage reflected thereon is in full force and effect), financial statements

amount determined by Agent to be sufficient to cure or eliminate the Borrowing
Base Deficiency and/or the breach of Section 2.05(b). All Cash Collateral shall

by Agent or Lender in connection with Borrower's request for approval of the
proposed Eligible Securities, including but not limited to the reasonable fees
and expenses of counsel to Agent and Lender; and
(c) The Pledged Securities shall continue to be Eligible Securities
only so long as the Pledged Securities satisfy the requirements of Eligible
Securities, as determined by Lender in its sole but reasonable discretion from
time to time during the term of the Loan, and the value of Pledged Securities
shall be determined by Lender from time to time during the term of the Loan in

adverse change in the financial condition of Lender, Borrower may prepay the

the Unused Revolving Loan Fee will be waived until such time as Lender confirms
in writing its ability to make Revolving Loan Advances.

there is any action, proceeding or investigation by or before any Governmental
Authority affecting Borrower or any of its Affiliates or Property (including,
without limitation, any Mortgage Loan pledged to Agent for the benefit of Lender
hereunder), which, in the good faith judgment of Agent or Lender, as the case
may be, is reasonably likely to be adversely determined and which, in the good

Servicing Agreement or other agreement or instrument to which Borrower or any of
its Affiliates is a party or by which it or any of its Property is bound or to

the Loan Documents; the execution, delivery and performance by Borrower of each
of the Loan Documents have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or
other action on its part; and each Loan Document has been duly and validly
executed and delivered by Borrower and constitutes a legal, valid and binding
obligation of Borrower, enforceable against Borrower in accordance with its

proposes to take with respect thereto.

interest of Agent and Lender in and to any of the Collateral against the claims

amendments or modifications to the Underwriting Guidelines, which changes,

If Agent determines, in its sole discretion, that a proposed change is material
or unsatisfactory, Lender will not have any obligation to finance any Mortgage
Loans that are originated pursuant to the new Underwriting Guidelines and said

makes any amendment or modification to the Underwriting Guidelines, Borrower
shall promptly deliver to Agent a complete copy of the amended or modified
Underwriting Guidelines.

consistent with sound underwriting and appraisal practices, and in compliance

Loans.

Loan; or (b) all or any ownership interest in Borrower, except for the sale or
transfer of any publicly traded shares in Borrower.

event of default (an "EVENT OF DEFAULT") hereunder:

interest on any Loan when due (whether on the Maturity Date, on a monthly
payment date, upon acceleration, or on a mandatory or optional prepayment date);
or
(b) Borrower shall default in the payment of any other amount payable
by it hereunder or under any other Loan Document after written notice from Agent

(e) a final judgment or judgments for the payment of money in excess
of $1,000,000 in the aggregate shall be rendered against Borrower or any of its

-43-
be satisfied, discharged (or provision shall not be made for such discharge) or
bonded, or a stay of execution thereof shall not be procured, within sixty (60)
days from the date of entry thereof, and Borrower or any such Affiliate shall

jurisdiction, seeking (i) its reorganization, liquidation, dissolution,
arrangement or winding-up, or the composition or readjustment of its debts, (ii)
the appointment of, or the taking of possession by, a receiver, custodian,
trustee, examiner, liquidator or the like of Borrower or any such Affiliate or
of all or any substantial part of its property, or (iii) similar relief in
respect of Borrower or any such Affiliate under any law relating to bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, liquidation, dissolution, arrangement or winding-up,
or composition or adjustment of debts, and such proceeding or case shall
continue undismissed, or an order, judgment or decree approving or ordering any
of the foregoing shall be entered and continue unstayed and in effect, for a
period of sixty (60) or more days; or an order for relief against Borrower or
any such Affiliate shall be entered in an involuntary case under the Bankruptcy
Code; or
(i) the Custodial Agreement or any Loan Document shall for whatever
reason be terminated or cease to be in full force and effect, or the
enforceability thereof shall be contested by Borrower; or
(j) Borrower shall grant, or suffer to exist, any Lien on any
Collateral except the Liens contemplated hereby; or the Liens contemplated
hereby shall cease to be first priority perfected Liens on the Collateral in
favor of Agent, for the benefit of Lender, or shall be Liens in favor of any
Person other than Agent; or
(k) Borrower or any of Borrower's Affiliates shall be in default under
any note, indenture, loan agreement, guaranty, swap agreement or any other
contract to which it is a party, which default (i) involves the failure to pay a
matured obligation, or (ii) permits the acceleration of the maturity of
obligations by any other party to or beneficiary of such note, indenture, loan
agreement, guaranty, swap agreement or other contract; or
-44-
(l) any materially adverse change in the Property, business, financial
condition or prospects of Borrower or any of its Affiliates shall occur, in each
case as determined by Agent or Lender in their sole discretion, or any other
condition shall exist which, in Agent's or Lender's sole discretion, constitutes
a material impairment of Borrower's ability to perform its obligations under
this Agreement, the Note or any other Loan Document.
Section 9. Remedies Upon Default.
(a) An Event of Default shall be deemed to be continuing unless
expressly waived in writing by Agent at the direction of Lender. Upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the following rights and
remedies:
(i) The obligation of Lender to make additional Revolving Loan
Advances to Borrower shall automatically terminate without further action by any
Person. Upon the occurrence of one or more Events of Default other than those
referred to in Sections 8(g) and 8(h), Agent may, at the direction of Lender,
immediately declare the principal amount of the Loans then outstanding under the
Note to be immediately due and payable, together with all accrued and unpaid
interest thereon and fees and expenses accruing under this Agreement. Upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default referred to in Sections 8(g) and 8(h), such
amounts shall immediately and automatically become due and payable without any
further action by any Person. Upon such declaration or such automatic
acceleration, the balance then outstanding on the Note shall become immediately
due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or other formalities of
any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Borrower.
(ii) Agent and Lender shall have the right to obtain, and
Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered, on demand, physical possession
of the Servicing Records and all other files of Borrower relating to the
Collateral and all documents relating to the Collateral which are then or may
thereafter come in to the possession of Borrower or any third parties acting for
Borrower and Borrower shall deliver to Agent such assignments as Agent shall
request. Agent and Lender shall be entitled to specific performance of all
agreements of Borrower contained in this Agreement.
(iii) Lender may declare the Loans and all amounts owing under
the Loan Documents immediately due and payable, without notice, demand,
presentment, notice of dishonor, notice of acceleration, notice of intent to
accelerate, notice of intent to demand, protest, or other formalities of any
kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Borrower.
(iv) In addition to all other rights and remedies granted to
Agent and Lender in this Agreement and in any other Loan Documents, Agent and
Lender shall have all of the rights and remedies of a secured party under the
Uniform Commercial Code as adopted by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, Agent or Lender may (a) without demand
or notice to Borrower, collect, receive, or take possession of the Collateral or
any part thereof and for that purpose Agent or Lender may enter upon any
premises on which the Collateral is located and remove the collateral therefrom
or render it inoperable, and/or (B) sell, lease, or otherwise dispose of the
Collateral, or any part thereof, in one or more parcels at public or private
sale or sales, at Agent's or Lender's offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit,
or for future delivery. Upon the request of Agent or Lender,
-45-
Borrower shall assemble the Collateral and make it available to Agent or Lender
at any place designated by Agent or Lender that is reasonably convenient to
Borrower, Agent and Lender. Borrower agrees that neither Agent nor Lender shall
be obligated to give more than ten (10) days written notice of the time and
place of any public sale or of the time after which any private sale may take
place and that such notice shall constitute reasonable notice of such matters.
Borrower shall be liable for all expenses of retaking, holding, preparing for
sale, or the like, and all reasonable attorneys' fees, legal expenses, and all
other expenses incurred by Lender in connection with the collection of the Loans
and the enforcement of Agent's and Lender's rights under this Agreement and the
Loan Documents. Agent or Lender may apply the Collateral against the Loans and
all amounts owing under the Loan Documents in such order and manner as Agent and
Lender may elect in its sole discretion.
(v) Agent or Lender may cause any or all of the Collateral held
by it to be transferred into the name of Agent or Lender or the name or names of
Agent's or Lender's nominee or nominees.
(vi) Lender shall have any and all other remedies available at
law or equity.
(b) Remedies Cumulative. No disbursement of proceeds of the Loan shall
constitute a waiver of any conditions to Lender's obligation to make further
disbursements nor, in the event Borrower is unable to satisfy any such
conditions, shall any such waiver have the effect of precluding Lender from
thereafter declaring such inability to constitute a default under this
Agreement. No failure or delay on the part of Lender in the exercise of any
power, right or privilege hereunder, the Note or any other Loan Document shall
impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any
default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any
such power, right or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof or
of any other power, right or privilege. Except as specifically provided herein,
all rights and remedies existing under this Agreement, the Note and the other
Loan Documents are cumulative to and not exclusive of any rights or remedies
otherwise available.
Section 10. No Duty of Agent and Lender. The powers conferred on Agent and
Lender hereunder are solely to protect Lender's interests in the Collateral and
shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Agent and Lender
shall be accountable only for amounts that each actually receives as a result of
the exercise of such powers, and neither Lender nor Agent nor any of their
officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to Borrower for
any act or failure to act hereunder, except for its or their own gross
negligence or willful misconduct.
Section 11. Agent.
11.01 Appointment. Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints Babson
Capital Management LLC, and Babson Capital Management LLC hereby accepts such
designation and appointment, as Agent on behalf of Lender under this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents, and Lender irrevocably authorizes Agent, in such
capacity, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform
such duties as are expressly delegated to Agent by the terms of this
-46-
Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are
reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary
elsewhere in this Agreement, Agent shall not have any duties or
responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary
relationship with Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities,
duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any
other Loan Document or otherwise exist against Agent.
11.02 Delegation of Duties. Agent may execute any of its duties under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact
and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to
such duties. Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of
any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.
11.03 Exculpatory Provisions. Neither Agent nor any of its officers,
directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates shall be (i)
liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person
under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except
for its or such Person's own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or (ii)
responsible in any manner to any of Lender for any recitals, statements,
representations or warranties made by Borrower or any officer thereof contained
in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in any certificate, report,
statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by Agent
under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for
the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency
of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for any failure of Borrower to
perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. Agent shall not be under any
obligation to Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or
performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this
Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or
records of Borrower.
11.04 Reliance by Agent. Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be
fully protected in relying, upon the Note, writing, resolution, notice, consent,
certificate, affidavit, letter, cablegram, telegram, telecopy, telex or teletype
message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be
genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person
or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without
limitation, counsel to Borrower), independent accountants and other experts
selected by Agent. Agent may deem and treat the payee of the Note as the owner
thereof for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or
transfer thereof shall have been filed with Agent. As between Agent and Lender,
Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under
this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such
advice or concurrence of Lender as it deems appropriate or it shall first be
indemnified to its satisfaction by Lender against any and all liability and
expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take
any such action. As between Agent and Lender, Agent shall in all cases be fully
protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of Lender, and such request
and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon
all Lender and all future holders of the Loans.
-47-
11.05 Notice of Default. Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or
notice of the existence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder (other than
Agent's actual notice or knowledge of an Event of Default under Section 8
hereof) unless Agent has received notice from Lender or Borrower referring to
this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that
such notice is a "notice of default". In the event that Agent receives such a
notice of default, Agent shall give notice thereof to Lender. Agent shall take
such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be
reasonably directed by Lender; provided that unless and until Agent shall have
received such directions, Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such
action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or
Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of Lender.
11.06 Non-Reliance on Agent and Other Lender. Lender expressly acknowledges
that neither Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents,
attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it
and that no act by Agent hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs
of Borrower, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by
Agent to Lender. Lender represents to Agent that it has, independently and
without reliance upon Agent, and based on such documents and information as it
has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the
business, operations, property, financial and other condition and
creditworthiness of Borrower and made its own decision to make its Loans
hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Lender also represents that it will,
independently and without reliance upon Agent, and based on such documents and
information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own
credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigation as
it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property,
financial and other condition and creditworthiness of Borrower. Except for
notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be provided by
Borrower to Agent hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, which Agent must
distribute promptly to Lender, Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility
to provide Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business,
operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or
creditworthiness of Borrower which may come into the possession of Agent or any
of its officers, directors, employees, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates.
11.07 Indemnification. Lender agrees to indemnify Agent in its capacity as
such (to the extent not reimbursed by Borrower and without limiting the
obligation of Borrower to do so) from and against any and all liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs,
expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever which may at any time
(including, without limitation, at any time following the payment of the Loans)
be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Agent in any way relating to or
arising out of this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents
contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by Agent under or
in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that Lender shall not be
liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses,
damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements
resulting solely from Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct. The
agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other
amounts payable hereunder.
-48-
11.08 Agent in Its Individual Capacity. Agent and its Affiliates may make
loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with
Borrower as though Agent were not Agent hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents. With respect to the Loans made by it, Agent shall have the same
rights, powers and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents
as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not Agent, and the
terms "Lender" and "Lenders" shall include Agent in its individual capacity.
11.09 Successor Agent. Agent may resign as Agent upon thirty (30) days'
notice to Lender and to Borrower. If Agent shall resign as Agent under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then Lender shall appoint a successor
Agent for Lender, and any such successor Agent shall succeed to the rights,
powers and duties of Agent, and the term "Agent" shall mean such successor Agent
effective upon such appointment, and the former Agent's rights, powers and
duties as Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on
the part of such former Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any
holders of the Loans and Note. If no successor Agent has been appointed and
shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent's
giving notice of its resignation, then the retiring Agent, on behalf of Lender,
may appoint an Agent. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder
by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become
vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent,
and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations,
under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. After any retiring Agent's
resignation as Agent, the provisions of this Section 11 shall inure to its
benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent
under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
Section 12. Miscellaneous.
12.01 Waiver. No failure on the part of Agent or Lender to exercise and no
delay in exercising, and no course of dealing with respect to, any right, power
or privilege under any Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor
shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege under any
Loan Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of
any other right, power or privilege. The remedies provided herein are cumulative
and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.
12.02 Notices.
(a) All notices, consents, approvals and requests required or
permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be given in writing
and shall be effective for all purposes if hand delivered or sent by: (i)
certified or registered United States mail, postage prepaid, return receipt
requested; (ii) expedited prepaid delivery service, either commercial or United
States Postal Service, with proof of attempted delivery; or (iii) for

information may be transmitted via the internet or by email and with or without
any algorithm enhanced security software and Borrower waives any right to
privacy in connection therewith.
(c) Borrower shall notify Lender promptly of the occurrence of any of
the following: (i) receipt of notice from any Governmental Authority relating to
a Mortgage Loan; (ii) any material adverse change with respect to a Mortgage
Loan; or (iii) receipt of any notice from the holder of any other lien or

(d) In addition to the notices and communications provided for in this
Agreement, Agent shall (i) receive from Borrower and transmit to Lender all
notices and communications required to be delivered by Borrower under any Loan
Document, including without limitation, all communications relating to requests
for amendments, terminations, borrowing requests, waivers, Defaults, Events of
Default, required reporting, suits or proceedings, breaches of any
representations or warranties and delegation of duties under the Loan Documents
and with respect to any Mortgage Loan, and (ii) receive from Lender and transmit
to Borrower all notices and communications required to be delivered by Lender
under any Loan Document, including without limitation, all communications
relating to requests for amendments, terminations, borrowing requests, waivers,
Defaults, Events of Default, required
-51-
reporting, suits or proceedings, breaches of the representations or warranties
and delegation of duties. Furthermore, Borrower shall copy Lender on all
communications and notices directed to Agent and shall copy Agent on all
communications and notices directed to Lender.
12.03 Indemnification and Expenses.
(a) Borrower agrees to hold Agent, Lender, and each of their
respective Affiliates and their officers, directors, employees, agents and
advisors (each an "INDEMNIFIED PARTY") harmless from and indemnify any
Indemnified Party against all liabilities, losses, damages, judgments, costs and
expenses of any kind which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against
such Indemnified Party (collectively, the "COSTS") relating to or arising out of
this Agreement, the Note, any other Loan Document or any transaction
contemplated hereby or thereby, or any amendment, supplement or modification of,
or any waiver or consent under or in respect of, this Agreement, the Note, any
other Loan Document or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, that, in
each case, results from anything other than any Indemnified Party's (i) gross
negligence or willful misconduct, or (ii) actions, to the extent that they are
determined in a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent
jurisdiction to constitute a breach by Agent and Lender of a written agreement
between Agent and Lender and any other Person. Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, Borrower agrees to hold any Indemnified Party harmless from
and indemnify such Indemnified Party against all Costs with respect to all
Mortgage Loans relating to or arising out of any violation or alleged violation
of any environmental law, rule or regulation or any consumer credit laws,
including, without limitation, laws with respect to unfair or deceptive lending
practices, and Predatory Lending Practices, the Truth in Lending Act and/or the
Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, that, in each case, results from anything
other than such Indemnified Party's gross negligence or willful misconduct. In
any suit, proceeding or action brought by an Indemnified Party in connection
with any Mortgage Loan for any sum owing thereunder, or to enforce any
provisions of any Mortgage Loan, Borrower will save, indemnify and hold such
Indemnified Party harmless from and against all expense, loss or damage suffered
by reason of any defense, set-off, counterclaim, recoupment or reduction or
liability whatsoever of the account debtor or obligor thereunder, arising out of
a breach by Borrower of any obligation thereunder or arising out of any other
agreement, indebtedness or liability at any time owing to or in favor of such
account debtor or obligor or its successors from Borrower. Borrower also agrees
to reimburse an Indemnified Party as and when billed by such Indemnified Party
for all such Indemnified Party's costs and expenses incurred in connection with
the enforcement or the preservation of such Indemnified Party's rights under
this Agreement, the Note, any other Loan Document or any transaction
contemplated hereby or thereby, including without limitation the reasonable fees
and disbursements of its counsel. Borrower hereby acknowledges that,
notwithstanding the fact that the Note is secured by the Collateral, the
obligations of Borrower under the Note, this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents are recourse obligations of Borrower.
(b) Borrower agrees to pay as and when billed by Agent all of the
out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with the
development, preparation and execution of, and any amendment, supplement or
modification to, this Agreement, the Note, any other Loan Document or any other
documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith. Borrower agrees to pay
as and when billed by Lender all of the out-of-pocket costs and expenses
incurred in connection with any actions taken at the request of Borrower with
respect to the
-52-
consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated hereby and
thereby including without limitation (i) all the reasonable fees, disbursements
and expenses of counsel to Agent; (ii) all fees, disbursements and expenses of
the Custodian and (iii) in the event of a Default or Event of Default under this
Agreement, all the due diligence, inspection, testing and review costs and
expenses incurred by Agent with respect to Collateral under this Agreement,
including, but not limited to, those costs and expenses incurred by Lender
pursuant to Sections 12.03(a) and 12.15 hereof.
12.04 Amendments and Waivers. Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan
Document, nor any terms hereof or thereof may be amended, supplemented or
modified except in accordance with the provisions of this Section 12.04. Lender
may, or, with the written consent of Lender, Agent may, from time to time, (a)
enter into with Borrower written amendments, supplements or modifications hereto
and to the other Loan Documents for the purpose of adding any provisions to this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents or changing in any manner the rights of
Lender or of Borrower hereunder or thereunder or (b) waive, on such terms and
conditions as Lender or Agent, as the case may be, may specify in such
instrument, any of the requirements of this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents or any Default or Event of Default and its consequences; provided,
however, that no such waiver and no such amendment, supplement or modification
shall:
(i) reduce the amount or extend the scheduled date of maturity of
any Loan or of any installment thereof, or reduce the stated rate of any
interest or fee payable hereunder or extend the scheduled date of any payment
thereof, in each case without the consent of Lender, or
(ii) amend, modify or waive any provision of this Section 12.04
or consent to the assignment or transfer by Borrower of any of its rights and
obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or release any of
the Collateral (except in accordance with this Agreement upon repayment of all
amounts owing under the Loan Documents in respect of such Collateral) in each
case without the written consent of Lender, or
(iii) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 11 without
the written consent of the then Agent;
provided, that any waiver, amendment, supplement or modification shall be
binding upon Borrower, Lender, Agent and all future holders of the Loans and, in
the case of any waiver, Borrower, Lender and Agent shall be restored to their
former positions and rights hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and
any Default or Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not
continuing, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default
or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon;
and, provided, further, that each waiver, amendment, supplement or
modification shall become effective on the second (2nd) Business Day after
receipt by Agent of a fully executed original thereof.
12.05 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and
permitted assigns.
-53-
12.06 Survival. The obligations of Borrower under Sections 2.07 and 12.03
hereof shall survive the repayment of the Loans and the termination of this
Agreement. In addition, each representation and warranty made or deemed to be
made by a request for a borrowing, herein or pursuant hereto shall survive the
making of such representation and warranty, and Lender shall not be deemed to
have waived, by reason of making any Loan, any Default that may arise because
any such representation or warranty shall have proved to be false or misleading,
notwithstanding that Lender may have had notice or knowledge or reason to
believe that such representation or warranty was false or misleading at the time
such Loan was made.
12.07 Captions. The table of contents and captions and section headings
appearing herein are included solely for convenience of reference and are not

UNCONDITIONALLY:

-54-
(D) AGREES THAT NOTHING HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT TO EFFECT SERVICE OF
PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR SHALL LIMIT THE RIGHT TO ▇▇▇ IN

12.11 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF BORROWER, LENDER AND AGENT HEREBY

OR THEREBY.
12.12 Acknowledgments. Borrower hereby acknowledges that:
(a) it has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and
delivery of this Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents;
(b) Lender has no fiduciary relationship to Borrower, and the
relationship between Borrower and Lender is solely that of debtor and creditor;
and
(c) no joint venture exists between Lender and Borrower.
12.13 Hypothecation or Pledge of Loans. Subject to the terms of the
Custodial Agreement, Agent, acting at the direction of Lender, shall have free
and unrestricted use of all of Lender's interest in the Collateral and nothing
in this Agreement shall preclude Lender from engaging in repurchase transactions
with Lender's interest in the Collateral or otherwise pledging, repledging,
transferring, hypothecating, or rehypothecating Lender's interest in the
Collateral, on terms, and subject to conditions, within Lender's absolute
discretion. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall obligate Agent to
segregate any Collateral delivered to Agent by Borrower.
12.14 Servicing.
(a) Borrower covenants to maintain or cause the servicing of the
Mortgage Loans to be maintained in conformity with Accepted Servicing Practices
in the industry for the same type of mortgage loans as the Mortgage Loans and in
a manner at least equal in quality to the servicing Borrower provides for other
mortgage loans which it owns. In the event that the preceding language is
interpreted as constituting one or more servicing contracts, each such servicing
contract shall terminate automatically upon the earliest of (i) an Event of
Default, (ii) the date on which all the Secured Obligations have been paid in
full, or (iii) the transfer of servicing approved by Borrower.
(b) If any of the Mortgage Loans are serviced by Borrower, (i)
Borrower agrees that Agent is the collateral assignee of all servicing records,
including but not limited to any and all servicing agreements, files, documents,
records, data bases, computer tapes, copies of computer tapes, proof of
insurance coverage, insurance policies, appraisals, other closing documentation,
payment history records, and any other records relating to or evidencing the
servicing of Mortgage Loans (the "SERVICING RECORDS"), and (ii) Borrower grants
Agent, for the
-55-
benefit of Lender, a security interest in all servicing fees and rights relating
to the Mortgage Loans and all Servicing Records to secure the obligation of
Borrower or its designee to service the Mortgage Loans in conformity with this
Section and any other obligation of Borrower to Lender. Borrower covenants to
safeguard such Servicing Records and to deliver them promptly to Agent or its
designee (including the Custodian) at Agent's request.
(c) If any of the Mortgage Loans are serviced by a third party
servicer (such third party servicer, the "SERVICER"), Borrower (i) shall provide
a copy of the servicing agreement to Agent, which shall be in form and substance
acceptable to Agent (the "SERVICING AGREEMENT"), (ii) shall provide a Servicer
Notice and Agreement to the Servicer substantially in the form of Exhibit E
hereto (a "SERVICER NOTICE AND AGREEMENT") and shall cause the Servicer to
acknowledge and agree to the same and (iii) hereby irrevocably assigns to Lender
and such Lender's successors and assigns all right, title and interest of
Borrower in, to and under, and the benefits of, and Servicing Agreement with
respect to the Mortgage Loans. Any successor or assignee of a Servicer shall be
approved in writing by Lender and shall acknowledge and agree to a Servicer
Notice and Agreement prior to such successor's assumption of servicing
obligations with respect to the Mortgage Loans.
(d) If the servicer of the Mortgage Loans is Borrower or an Affiliate
of Borrower, Borrower shall provide to Agent a letter from the Servicer, as the
case may be, to the effect that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default,
Agent may terminate any Servicing Agreement and transfer servicing to Agent's
designee, at no cost or expense to Agent, it being agreed that Borrower will pay
any and all fees required to terminate the Servicing Agreement and to effectuate
the transfer of servicing to the designee of Agent.
(e) After the Funding Date, until the pledge of any Mortgage Loan is
relinquished by the Custodian, unless otherwise agreed in writing by Agent,
Borrower will have no right to modify or alter the terms of such Mortgage Loan
and Borrower will have no obligation or right to repossess such Mortgage Loan or
substitute another Mortgage Loan, except as provided in this Agreement.
(f) In the event Borrower or its Affiliate is servicing the Mortgage
Loans, Borrower shall permit Agent to inspect Borrower's or its Affiliate's
servicing facilities, as the case may be, for the purpose of satisfying Agent
that Borrower or its Affiliate, as the case may be, has the ability to service
the Mortgage Loans as provided in this Agreement.
(g) Borrower represents that each Servicing Agreement can be
terminated by Borrower without cause and without payment of any termination fee
or other fee upon not greater than sixty (60) days prior written notice to the
Servicer thereunder. Borrower shall not modify or amend any Servicing Agreement
without Agent's prior written consent. Borrower represents that each Servicing
Agreement is in full force and effect and no default or event of default by
Borrower exists under any Servicing Agreement, and Borrower has no knowledge of
any default or event of default thereunder by the Servicer. Borrower shall,
within ten (10) days following a written request by Agent, deliver to Agent true
and correct copies of all Servicing Agreements.
-56-
12.15 Periodic Due Diligence Review. Borrower acknowledges that Agent has
the right to perform continuing Due Diligence Reviews with respect to the
Mortgage Loans, for purposes of verifying compliance with the representations,
warranties and specifications made hereunder, or otherwise, and Borrower agrees
that, unless a Default has occurred (in which case no notice is required), upon
reasonable (but no less than five (5) Business Days) prior notice to Borrower,
Agent or its authorized representatives will be permitted during customary
business hours to examine, inspect, and make copies and extracts of, the
Mortgage Files and any and all documents, records, agreements, instruments or
information relating to such Mortgage Loans in the possession or under the
control of Borrower and/or the Custodian. Borrower also shall make available to
Agent a knowledgeable financial or accounting officer for the purpose of
answering questions respecting the Mortgage Files and the Mortgage Loans.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower acknowledges that
Agent may consummate the Loans and make Revolving Loan Advances to Borrower
based solely upon the information provided by Borrower to Agent in the Mortgage
Loan Data File and the representations, warranties and covenants contained
herein, and that Agent, at its option, has the right at any time to conduct a
partial or complete due diligence review on some or all of the Mortgage Loans
securing such Loan, including without limitation ordering new credit reports and
new appraisals on the related Mortgaged Properties and otherwise re-generating
the information used to originate such Mortgage Loan. Agent may underwrite such
Mortgage Loans itself or engage a mutually agreed upon third party underwriter
to perform such underwriting. Borrower agrees to cooperate with Agent and any
third party underwriter in connection with such underwriting, including, but not
limited to, providing Agent and any third party underwriter with access to any
and all documents, records, agreements, instruments or information relating to
such Mortgage Loans in the possession, or under the control, of Borrower. All
costs and expenses incurred by Agent or Lender in connection with any Due
Diligence Review pursuant to this Section 12.15 shall be borne by Agent or
Lender so long as no Default exists. If a Default or an Event of Default exists,
all such costs and expenses shall be borne by Borrower.
12.16 Set-Off. In addition to any rights and remedies of Lender provided by
this Agreement and by law, Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to
Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by Borrower to the extent
permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by
Borrower hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or
otherwise) to set-off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all
deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any
currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in
each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or
unmatured, at any time held or owing by Lender or any Affiliate thereof to or
for the credit or the account of Borrower. Lender agrees promptly to notify
Borrower after any such set-off and application made by Lender; provided that
the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off
and application.
12.17 Intent. The parties recognize that each Loan is a "securities
contract" as that term is defined in Section 741 of Title 11 of the United
States Code, as amended.
12.18 Assignments and Participations.
(a) Lender may assign and delegate to one or more Persons all or a
portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement; provided, that none
of the costs incurred by the
-57-
assigning Lender or its assignee in connection therewith shall be borne by
Borrower and the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver an
Assignment and Acceptance substantially in the form of Exhibit F, with
appropriate completions (an "ASSIGNMENT AND ACCEPTANCE"), along with replacement
Notes executed and delivered by Borrower; and provided, further, that Lender
shall not so assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement to an
Affiliate of Borrower.
(b) Upon such execution and delivery, from and after the effective
date specified in such Assignment and Acceptance, (i) the assignee thereunder
shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder
have been assigned and delegated to it pursuant to such Assignment and
Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of Lender hereunder, and (ii) Lender
assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that any rights and obligations
hereunder have been assigned and delegated by it, and accepted and assumed by
the assignee pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights
and be released from its obligations under this Agreement.
(c) Lender may sell participations to one or more Persons in or to all
or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement; provided,
however, that (i) Lender's obligations under this Agreement shall remain
unchanged, (ii) Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties
hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) Lender shall remain the
holder of the Note for all purposes of this Agreement; and (iv) Borrower shall,
to the extent otherwise required by this Agreement, continue to deal solely and
directly with Lender in connection with Lender's rights and obligations under
and in respect of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Notwithstanding
the terms of Section 2.07, each participant of Lender shall be entitled to the
additional compensation and other rights and protections afforded Lender under
Section 2.07 to the same extent as Lender would have been entitled to receive
them with respect to the participation sold to such participant.
(d) Lender may, in connection with any assignment or participation or
proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 12.18, disclose to
the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant, as the case may
be, any information relating to Borrower or any of their Subsidiaries or to any
aspect of the Loans that has been provided to Lender by or on behalf of Borrower
or any of its Subsidiaries.
(e) Lender may at any time create a security interest in all or any
portion of its rights under this Agreement (including, without limitation, the
Loans owing to it and the Note held by it) in favor of any Federal Reserve Bank
in accordance with Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System and any Operating Circular issued by such Federal Reserve Bank. No such
assignment shall release the assigning Lender from its obligations hereunder.
12.19 Treatment of Certain Information. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, all Persons may
disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the federal
income tax treatment of the Loans or any of the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement or any other Loan Document (collectively, the "TRANSACTIONS"),
any fact relevant to understanding the federal tax treatment of the Transactions
-58-
and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses)
relating to such federal income tax treatment.
12.20 Time is of the Essence. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that time
is of the essence with respect to this Agreement and every other Loan Document
and Borrower's obligations hereunder and thereunder.

Schedule 1
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES RE: COLLATERAL
Part I-A. Eligible Commercial Mortgage Loans and Eligible Multifamily Mortgage
Loans.
As to each Eligible Mortgage Loan included in the Borrowing Base on the
date of this Agreement, on a Funding Date and on each date on which Collateral
Value is determined (and as to the related Mortgage, Mortgage Note, Assignment
of Mortgage, Mortgage Loan Documents and Mortgaged Property), Borrower shall be
deemed to make the following representations and warranties to each of Lender
and Agent as of such date (certain defined terms used herein and not otherwise
defined in the Loan Agreement appearing in Part II to this Schedule 1). With
respect to any representations and warranties made to the best of Borrower's
knowledge or actual knowledge, in the event that it is discovered that the
circumstances with respect to the related Mortgage Loan are not accurately
reflected in such representation and warranty notwithstanding the knowledge or
lack of knowledge of Borrower, then, notwithstanding that such representation
and warranty is made to the best of Borrower's knowledge, the Collateral Value
of such Mortgage Loan may be redetermined by Agent acting in good faith (which
redetermination may result in a Collateral Value of zero) in light of such
inaccuracy.
(a) The information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule as to the
Mortgage Loan is complete, true and correct in all material respects;
(b) Borrower is the sole owner and holder of the Mortgage Loan and has
good and marketable title thereto, has full right, power and authority to sell
and assign such Mortgage Loan free and clear of any interest or claim of a third
party;
(c) The Mortgage Loan has not been since the date of origination by
the applicable Qualified Originator, and currently is not, thirty or more days
delinquent, and the Mortgagor is not in default thereunder beyond any applicable
grace period for the payment of any obligation to pay principal and interest,
taxes, insurance premiums and required reserves;
(d) Borrower has not advanced funds, or knowingly received any advance
of funds from a party other than the Mortgagor subject to the related Mortgage,
directly or indirectly, for the payment of any amount required by the Mortgage
Loan;
(e) The Mortgage Loan Documents have been duly and properly executed,
and the Mortgage Loan Documents are legal, valid and binding obligations of the
Mortgagor, and their terms are enforceable against the Mortgagor, subject only
to bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, fraudulent transfer, fraudulent
conveyance and similar laws affecting rights of creditors generally and to the
application of general principles of equity;
(f) The lien of each Mortgage is insured by an ALTA lender's title
insurance policy or its equivalent as adopted in the applicable jurisdiction
issued by one or more nationally recognized title insurance companies, insuring
the Qualified Originator, its successors and
Schedule 1-1
assigns, as to the first priority lien of the Mortgage in the original principal
amount of the Mortgage Loan after all advances of principal, subject only to (a)
the lien of current real property taxes, ground rents, water charges, sewer
rents and assessments not yet due and payable, (b) covenants, conditions and
restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of public record, none
of which, individually or in the aggregate, in the reasonable judgment of
Borrower, materially interferes with the current use of the related Mortgaged
Property or the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage or with the
Mortgagor's ability to pay its obligations when they become due or the value of
the related Mortgaged Property and (c) the exceptions (general and specific) set
forth in such policy, none of which, individually or in the aggregate, in the
reasonable judgment of Borrower, materially interferes with the current use of
the related Mortgaged Property or security intended to be provided by such
Mortgage, with the Mortgagor's ability to pay its obligations when they become
due or the value of the related Mortgaged Property (or if a title insurance
policy has not yet been issued in respect of the Mortgage Loan, a policy meeting
the foregoing description is evidenced by a commitment for title insurance
"marked-up" at the closing of the Mortgage Loan). No material claims have been
made under such title policy and no claims have been made thereunder;
(g) As of the date of origination of the Mortgage Loan there were no,
and to the best knowledge of Borrower, based on due diligence that customarily
performed by Qualified Originators in the origination and servicing of
comparable mortgage loans, there are no, mechanics', materialman's or other
similar liens or claims which have been filed for work, labor or materials
affecting the Mortgaged Property which are or may be liens prior to, or equal or
coordinate with, the lien of the Mortgage, unless such lien is insured against
under the related title insurance policy;
(h) Each building or other improvement located on any Mortgaged
Property was insured by a fire and extended perils insurance policy, issued by
an insurer or reinsured by an insurer meeting the requirements of the Mortgage
Loan Documents, in an amount not less than the loan amount of the Mortgaged
Property; each Mortgaged Property was also covered by business interruption
insurance and comprehensive general liability insurance in amounts generally
required by institutional lenders for similar properties; all premiums on such
insurance policies required to be paid as of the date hereof have been paid;
such insurance policies require prior notice to the insured of termination or
cancellation, and no such notice has been received; and (B) the Mortgage Loan
Documents obligate the Mortgagor to maintain all such insurance and, at the
Mortgagor's failure to do so, authorize the mortgagee to maintain such insurance
at the Mortgagor's cost and expense and to seek reimbursement therefor from such
Mortgagor;
(i) As of the most recent date of inspection of each Mortgaged
Property by Borrower, based solely on Borrower's review of the report prepared
by the engineer who inspected the structure, exterior walls, roofing, interior
construction, mechanical and electrical systems and general conditions of the
site, buildings and other improvements with respect to the Mortgage Loan (which
report indicated, where appropriate, a variety of deferred maintenance items and
recommended capital improvements with respect to such Mortgaged Property, as
well as the estimated cost of such items and improvements and the most recent
visual inspection (as described in (r) below) of the Mortgaged Property, no
building or other improvement on any Mortgaged Property has been affected in any
material manner or suffered any material loss as a result of any fire, wind,
explosion, accident, riot, war, or act of God or the public enemy, and
Schedule 1-2
each Mortgaged Property is free of any material damage that would affect
materially and adversely the value of the Mortgaged Property as security for the
Mortgage Loan and is in good repair. Borrower has neither received notice, nor
is otherwise aware, of any proceedings pending for the total condemnation of any
Mortgaged Property or a partial condemnation of any portion material to
Borrower's ability to perform its obligations under its related Mortgage Loan;
(j) To Borrower's best knowledge, after review of compliance
confirmations from applicable municipalities, surveys and/or title insurance
endorsements, none of the improvements included for the purpose of determining
the Appraised Value of each Mortgaged Property at the time of the origination of
the Mortgage Loan lies outside of the boundaries and building restriction lines
of the Mortgaged Property, and no improvements on adjoining properties
materially encroach upon the Mortgaged Property except those which are insured
against by the title insurance policy (including endorsements thereto) issued in
connection with the Mortgage Loan and all improvements on the Mortgaged Property
comply with the applicable zoning laws and/or set-back ordinances in force when
improvements were added;
(k) The Mortgage Loan does not violate applicable usury laws;
(l) Since the date of origination of the Mortgage Loan, the terms of
the Mortgage Loan have not been impaired, waived, altered, satisfied, canceled,
subordinated or modified in any respect (except with respect to modifications
the economic terms of which are reflected in the mortgage loan schedule and
which are evidenced by documents in the Mortgage File delivered to the
Custodian) and no portion of the Mortgaged Property has been released from the
lien of the Mortgage in any manner;
(m) All applicable Mortgage recording taxes and other filing fees have
been paid in full or deposited with the issuer of the title insurance policy
issued in connection with the Mortgage Loan for payment upon recordation of the
relevant documents;
(n) Each assignment of leases and rents, if any, creates a valid
assignment of, or a valid security interest in, certain rights under the related
leases, subject only to a license granted to the relevant mortgagor to exercise
certain rights and to perform certain obligations of the lessor under such
leases, including the right to operate the related Mortgaged Property. To the
best of Borrower's knowledge, based on due diligence that customarily performed
by Qualified Originators in the origination and servicing of comparable mortgage

first lien on the related Mortgaged Property, subject only to those exceptions

materially interfere with such right to foreclosure;

performance of its obligations under the Mortgage Loan Documents;

Schedule 1-5

the terms of the Ground Lease or an estoppel letter from the ground lessor the
following apply to such Ground Lease:
(1) The Ground Lease or a memorandum thereof has been duly recorded,
the Ground Lease permits the interest of the lessee thereunder to be
encumbered by the related Mortgage, does not restrict the use of the
Mortgaged Property by the lessee or its successors and assigns in a manner
that would adversely affect the security provided by the related Mortgage,
and there has not been a material change in the terms of the Ground Lease
since its recordation, with the exception of written instruments which are
part of the related Mortgage Loan Documents delivered to the Custodian.
(2) The Ground Lease is not subject to any liens or encumbrances
superior to, or of equal priority with, the related Mortgage, other than
the related ground lessor's related fee interest.
(3) Borrower's interest in the Ground Lease is assignable to the
holder of the Mortgage upon notice to, but without the consent of, the
lessor thereunder and, in the event that it is so assigned, it is further
assignable by the trustee and its successors and assigns upon notice to,
but without a need to obtain the consent of, such lessor.
(4) To the best of Borrower's knowledge, based on due diligence that
customarily performed by Qualified Originators in the origination of
comparable mortgage loans, as of the Origination Date of the Mortgage Loan,
the Ground Lease was in full force and effect and no material default had
occurred under the Ground Lease and there was no existing condition which,
but for the passage of time or the giving of notice, would result in a
default under the terms of the Ground Lease. No notice of default under the
Ground Lease has been received by Borrower.
(5) The Ground Lease requires the lessor thereunder to give notice of
any default by the lessee to the mortgagee; and the Ground Lease, or an
estoppel letter received by the mortgagee from the lessor, further provides
that notice of termination given under the Ground Lease is not effective
against the mortgagee unless a copy of the notice has been delivered to the
mortgagee in the manner described in such Ground Lease or estoppel letter.
Schedule 1-6
(6) The mortgagee is permitted a reasonable opportunity (including,
where necessary, sufficient time to gain possession of the interest of the
lessee under the Ground Lease) to cure any default under the Ground Lease
which is curable after the receipt of notice of any default, before the
lessor thereunder may terminate the Ground Lease.
(7) The Ground Lease either (i) has a term which extends not less than
10 years beyond the maturity date of the related Mortgage Loan or (ii)
grants the lessee the option to extend the term of the lease for a period
(in the aggregate) which exceeds ten years beyond the maturity date of the
related Mortgage Loan.
(8) The Ground Lease requires the lessor to enter into a new lease
with the mortgagee upon termination of the Ground Lease for any reason,
including rejection of the Ground Lease in a bankruptcy proceeding,
provided the mortgagee cures the lessee's defaults to the extent they are
curable and succeeds to the interest of the mortgagee.
(9) Under the terms of the Ground Lease and the related Mortgage,
taken together, any related insurance proceeds will be applied either to
the repair or restoration of all or part of the related Mortgaged Property,
with the mortgagee or a trustee appointed by it having the right to hold
and disburse the proceeds as the repair or restoration progresses, or to
the payment of the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan
together with any accrued interest thereon.
(10) Such Ground Lease does not impose any material restrictions on
subletting.
(11) Either the Ground Lease or the related Mortgage contains
Borrower's covenant that such Ground Lease shall not be amended, canceled,
or terminated without the prior written consent of the mortgagee.
(12) Either the Ground Lease or an estoppel letter contains a covenant
that the lessor thereunder is not permitted in the absence of an uncured
default under the Ground Lease, to disturb the possession, interest or
quiet enjoyment of any lessee in the relevant portion of the Mortgaged
Property subject to such Ground Lease for any reason, or in any manner,
which would materially adversely affect the security provided by the
related Mortgage;
(jj) The Mortgage Loan is directly secured by a Mortgage on a
commercial real property, and (2) the fair market value of such real property,
as evidenced by an appraisal conducted within 12 months of the origination of
the Mortgage Loan, or as determined by Borrower based on market studies and
pursuant to its Underwriting Guidelines, was at least equal to 80% of the
principal amount of the Mortgage Loan (I) at origination (or if the Mortgage
Loan has been modified in a manner that constituted a deemed exchange under
Section 1001 of the Code at a time when the Mortgage Loan was not in default or
default with respect thereto was not reasonably foreseeable, the date of the
last such modification) or (II) at the related Funding Date; provided that the
fair market value of the real property interest must first be reduced by (a) the
amount of any lien on the real property interest that is senior to the Mortgage
Loan (unless such senior lien also secures a Mortgage Loan, in which event the
computation
Schedule 1-7
described in (I) and (II) shall be made on an aggregated basis) and (b) a
proportionate amount of any lien that is in parity with the Mortgage Loan
(unless such other lien secures a Mortgage Loan that is cross-collateralized
with such Mortgage Loan, in which event the computation described in (I) and
(II) shall be made on an aggregate basis);
(kk) To the best knowledge of Borrower, based on due diligence that
customarily performed by Qualified Originators in the origination of comparable
mortgage loans, certificates of occupancy and building permits, as applicable,
have been issued with respect to the Mortgaged Property;
(ll) Any escrow accounts for taxes or other reserves required to be
funded on the date of origination of the Mortgage Loan pursuant to the Mortgage
Loan documents have been funded and all such escrow accounts required to have
been funded as of the Funding Date (taking into account any applicable notice
and grace period) have been funded;
(mm) The related Assignment of Mortgage constitutes a legal, valid and
binding assignment of such Mortgage to Agent, for the benefit of Lender, and the
related Reassignment of Assignment of Leases, Rents and Profits, if any,
constitutes a legal, valid and binding assignment thereof to Agent;
(nn) The related Note is not, and has not been since the date of
origination of the Mortgage Loan, secured by any collateral except the lien of
the related Mortgage, any related Assignment of Leases, Rents and Profits and
any related security agreement and escrow agreement; the security for the
Mortgage Loan consists only of the related Mortgaged Property or Properties, any
leases (including without limitation any credit leases) thereof, and any
appurtenances, fixtures and other property located thereon; and such Mortgaged
Property or Properties do not secure any mortgage loan other than the Mortgage
Loan being transferred and assigned to Agent, for the benefit of Lender
hereunder (except for Mortgage Loans, if any, which are cross-collateralized
with other Mortgage Loans being conveyed to Agent or subsequent transferee
hereunder and identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule);
(oo) To Borrower's knowledge, based on due diligence that customarily
performed by Qualified Originators in the origination of comparable mortgage
loans, as of the date of origination of each Mortgage Loan, the related
Mortgagor was in possession of all material licenses, permits and franchises
required by applicable law for the ownership and operation of the related
Mortgaged Property as it was then operated;
(pp) The Mortgage Loan is directly secured by a first lien on one or
more parcels of real estate upon which is located one or more commercial
structures; and the Mortgage Loan was originated by a savings and loan
association, savings bank, commercial bank, credit union, insurance company, or
similar institution which is authorized and has all governmental approvals
necessary to originate said Mortgage Loan; and
(qq) No Eligible Multifamily Mortgage Loan has an LTV greater than 80%
or such other percentage as may be consented to by Agent in its sole discretion.
No Eligible Commercial Mortgage Loan has an LTV greater than 80% or such other
percentage as may be consented to by Agent in its sole discretion.
