City Office REIT, Inc. (the Company) was organized in the state of Maryland on November 26, 2013. On
April 21, 2014, the Company completed its initial public offering (IPO) of shares of the Companys common stock. The Company contributed the net proceeds of the IPO to City Office REIT Operating Partnership, L.P., a Maryland
limited partnership (the Operating Partnership), in exchange for common units in the Operating Partnership (common units). Both the Company and the Operating Partnership commenced operations upon completion of the IPO and
certain related formation transactions (the Formation Transactions).
The Companys interest in the Operating Partnership

Partnership, the Company has the exclusive power under the partnership agreement to manage and conduct the Operating Partnerships business, subject to limited approval and voting rights of the limited partners.
City Office REIT, Inc. Predecessor (the Predecessor) represents the combination of the six properties outlined below (the
Properties). The Predecessor does not represent a legal entity. The Predecessor and its related assets and liabilities are under common control and were contributed to a newly formed Operating Partnership in connection with the IPO of
the Company on April 21, 2014.

Initial Public Offering and Formation Transactions
The Companys operations are carried on primarily through the Operating Partnership and wholly owned subsidiaries of the Operating
Partnership. Both the Company and the Operating Partnership commenced operations upon completion of the IPO and certain related Formation Transactions.
On April 21, 2014, the Company closed the IPO, pursuant to which it sold 5,800,000 shares of common stock to the public at a public
offering price of $12.50 per share. The Company raised $72.5 million in gross proceeds, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $63.4 million after deducting approximately $5.1 million in underwriting discounts and approximately
$4.0 million in other expenses relating to the IPO. On May 9, 2014, the underwriters of the IPO exercised their overallotment option to purchase an additional 782,150 shares of the Companys common stock at the IPO price of
$12.50 a share resulting in additional gross proceeds of approximately $9.8 million. The net proceeds to the Company were $9.1 million after deducting approximately $0.7 million in underwriting discounts. The Companys common
stock began trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol CIO on April 15, 2014.
The Company contributed the
net proceeds of the IPO to the Operating Partnership in exchange for common units in the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership utilized a portion of the net proceeds of the IPO to pay fees in connection with the assumption of the
indebtedness, pay expenses incurred in connection with the IPO and Formation Transactions and repay loans that were made to several of the contributing entities by certain investors in such entities. The remaining funds were used for general working
capital purposes and to fund acquisitions.
Pursuant to the Formation Transactions, the Operating Partnership acquired a 100% interest in
each of the Washington Group Plaza, Cherry Creek and Corporate Parkway properties and acquired an approximate 76% economic interest in the AmberGlen property, 90% interest in the Central Fairwinds property and 95% interest in the City Center
property. These initial property interests were contributed in exchange for 3,731,209 common units, 1,858,860 shares of common stock and $19.4 million of cash. On May 9, 2014, the Company used the $9.1 million of net proceeds from the
exercise of the underwriters overallotment option to redeem, 479,305 common units and 248,095 common stock from the Second City Group.
In connection with the IPO and Formation Transactions, the Company, through its Operating Partnership, extinguished the loan on the Central
Fairwinds property and completed a refinancing of three properties (Cherry Creek, City Center and Corporate Parkway) with a new $95 million non-recourse mortgage loan and proceeds from the IPO. The loan bears a fixed interest rate of 4.34%
and matures on May 6, 2021.
On December 10, 2014, the Company completed a follow-on public offering pursuant to which the
Company sold 3,750,000 shares of common stock at a public offering price of $12.50 per share. The Company raised $46.9 million in gross proceeds, resulting in net proceeds to the Company of approximately $43.7 million after deducting
approximately $2.6 million in underwriting discounts and approximately $0.6 million in other expenses relating to the offering. On December 23, 2014, the underwriters of the offering exercised their overallotment option to purchase an
additional 512,664 shares of common stock at the public offering price of $12.50 a share for additional gross proceeds to the Company of approximately $6.4 million resulting in net proceeds to the Company of $6.1 million after
deducting approximately $0.3 million in underwriting discounts. All net proceeds from the underwriters exercise of the overallotment option were used to redeem 336,195 common units and 176,469 common stock held by the Second City Group.
Balances for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 include those of the Predecessor for the period from January 1, 2014

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Preparation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated and combined financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with
Securities and Exchange Commission rules and regulations and generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (US GAAP) and in the opinion of management contain all adjustments (including normal recurring
adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position,
8
results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in the
Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.
The Predecessor represents a combination of certain
entities holding interests in real estate that were commonly controlled prior to the Formation Transactions. Due to their common control, the financial statements of the separate entities which own the properties are presented on a combined basis in
the Predecessor financial statements.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which creates a new Topic Accounting Standards
Codification (Topic 606). The standard is principle-based and provides a five-step model to determine when and how revenue is recognized. The core principle is that a company should recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to
customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This standard is effective for interim or annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and allows
for either full retrospective or modified retrospective adoption. We are not permitted to adopt the standard earlier than January 1, 2017. We are currently evaluating the impact the adoption of Topic 606 will have on our financial statements.
In January 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-01, Income StatementExtraordinary and Unusual Items. ASU 2015-01
eliminates the concept of extraordinary items. However, the presentation and disclosure requirements for items that are either unusual or in nature or infrequent in occurrence remain and will be expanded to include items that are both unusual in
nature and infrequent in occurrence. ASU 2015-01 is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2015. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this new accounting standard on our financial statements.
In February 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2015-02,
Consolidation (Topic 810)Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis, which amends the criteria for determining which entities are considered variable interest entities (VIE), amends the criteria for determining if a service provider
possesses a variable interest in a VIE and ends the deferral granted to investment companies for application of the VIE consolidation model. ASU 2015-02 is effective for annual periods, and interim periods therein, beginning after December 15,
2015. We are currently evaluating the impact the adoption of Topic 810 will have on our financial statements.

On September 3, 2015, the Company closed on a $41.3 million loan secured by a first mortgage lien on the 190 Office Center property in
Dallas. The loan matures in September 2025 and provides for monthly payments of principal and interest. Interest is payable at a fixed rate of 4.79% per annum. Monthly payments are initially interest only.
On September 3, 2015, the Company closed on a $33.6 million loan secured by a first mortgage lien on the Intellicenter property in Tampa.
The loan matures in September 2025 and provides for monthly payments of principal and interest. Interest is payable at a fixed rate of 4.65% per annum. Monthly payments are initially interest only.
Term Loan
On
September 2, 2015, the Company closed on a $14.0 million term loan secured by a first mortgage lien on the Intellicenter property in Tampa. The loan matures in September 2016 and provides for monthly interest payments. Interest is payable at a
variable rate of LIBOR plus 6.00% per annum.
Secured Credit Facility
On July 14, 2015, the Company entered into an Amendment and Joinder to its Amended and Restated Credit Agreement which increased the
authorized borrowing capacity under the Credit Agreement from $35 million to $75 million.
6. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value measurements are based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability. The
hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value is as follows:
Level 1 Inputs quoted prices in active markets for identical
assets or liabilities
Level 2 Inputs observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and
liabilities
Level 3 Inputs unobservable inputs
Earn-Out Liability
The fair value of the
Central Fairwinds earn-out (note 9) was derived by making assumptions on the timing of the lease up of vacant space and the gross effective rents of those new leases and then applying an 8% discount rate to the resulting cash-flows to obtain a
present value. The earn-out valuation assumes that approximately 4,000 square feet of additional leasing is completed between the date of the valuation and the end of the calculation period which would take the earn-out occupancy from 76% signed and
committed at September 30, 2015 to 89% by July 2016 and stabilized at that level thereafter. The average gross effective rent and incremental operating costs per square foot is assumed to be $22 and $3, respectively.
At June 30, 2015, the 70% earn-out occupancy and net operating income thresholds were met. This triggered a payment of approximately $3.2
million which was made on August 6, 2015.
16
The estimated fair value of the earn-out liability decreased from $8.0 million at
December 31, 2014 to $5.4 million at September 30, 2015 primarily due to a $3.2 million payment in August 2014, satisfied through the issuance of common stock, partially offset by an increase in the fair value of the remaining liability
during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 of approximately $0.6 million.
Level 3 sensitivity analysis:
The Company applies judgment in determining unobservable inputs used to calculate the fair value of Level 3 instruments. Level 3
instruments held by the Company include the earn-out. The unobservable inputs used in the valuation of the earn-out primarily include the net effective rent assumptions. A sensitivity analysis has been performed to determine the potential gain or
loss by varying the significant unobservable inputs by increasing or decreasing them by 10%. The impact of applying these other reasonably possible inputs is a potential loss of $0.1 million and a potential gain of $0.1 million. This
potential gain or loss would be recorded through profit and loss.
Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash, Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable and Accrued
Liabilities
The Company estimates that the fair value approximates carrying value due to the relatively short-term nature of these
instruments.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments Not Carried at Fair Value
With the exception of fixed rate mortgage loans payable, the carrying amounts of the Companys financial instruments approximate their
fair value. The Company determines the fair value of its fixed rate mortgage loan payable based on a discounted cash flow analysis using a discount rate that approximates the current borrowing rates for instruments of similar maturities. Based on
this, the Company has determined that the fair value of these instruments was $290,000,000 and $192,500,000 as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. Although the Company has determined the majority of the inputs used
to value its fixed rate debt fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with its fixed rate debt utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads. Accordingly, mortgage
loans payable have been classified as Level 3 fair value measurements.
7. Related Party Transactions
Formation and Equity Transactions
The Formation Transactions were completed on April 21, 2014 through the contribution of the initial properties by Second City Capital
Partners II, Limited Partnership, Second City General Partner II, Limited Partnership, Gibralt US, Inc., GCC Amberglen Investments Limited Partnership and Daniel Rapaport (collectively, the Second City Group). The Second City Group
received as consideration for its contribution approximately $19.4 million in cash in accordance with the terms of its contribution agreement to acquire various non-controlling interests and eliminate economic incentives in the initial
properties. Additional payments to the Second City Group included $4.9 million for reimbursement of IPO costs and $1.8 million for working capital. On May 9, 2014, subsequent to the underwriters exercise of the overallotment
option, the Company used the $9.1 million of net proceeds from the underwriters exercise of the overallotment option to redeem 479,305 common units and 248,095 shares of common stock from the Second City Group.
17
On December 23, 2014, the underwriters of the secondary public offering exercised their
overallotment option to purchase an additional 512,664 shares of the Company`s common stock at the offering price of $12.50 a share resulting in additional net proceeds to the Company of $6.1 million after deducting underwriting discounts. The
Company used the $6.1 million of net proceeds from exercise of the overallotment option to redeem 336,195 common units and 176,469 shares of common stock from the Second City Group.
Property Management Fees
Three of
the Companys properties (City Center, Central Fairwinds and AmberGlen) engaged related parties to perform asset and property management services for a fee ranging from 3.0% to 3.5% of gross revenue.
Advisory and Transaction Fees
During the three and nine month period ended September 30, 2015, the Company incurred $1.3 million and $2.7 million, respectively, in
advisory and transaction fees payable to the Advisor.
Earn-Out Payment
At June 30, 2015, the 70% earn-out occupancy and net operating income thresholds were met. This triggered a payment of approximately $3.2
million which was made on August 6, 2015.
The estimated fair value of the earn-out liability decreased from $8.0 million at
December 31, 2014 to $5.4 million at September 30, 2015 primarily due to a $3.2 million payment in August 2014, satisfied through the issuance of common stock, partially offset by an increase in the fair value of the remaining liability
during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 of approximately $0.6 million.
8. Future Minimum Rent Schedule
Future minimum lease payments to be received as of September 30, 2015 under noncancellable operating leases for the
next five years and thereafter are as follows (in thousands):

The above minimum lease payments to be received do not include reimbursements from tenants for certain
operating expenses and real estate taxes and do not include early termination payments provided for in certain leases.
Two state
government tenants currently have the exercisable right to terminate their lease if the state does not appropriate rent in its annual budgets. The Company has determined that the occurrence of the government tenant not appropriating the rent in its
annual budget is a remote contingency and accordingly recognizes lease revenue on a straight-line basis over the respective lease term. These tenants represent approximately 27.40% of the Companys total future minimum lease payments as of
September 30, 2015.
18
9. Commitments and Contingencies
Earn-Out
As
part of the Formation Transactions and contribution agreement with respect to the Central Fairwinds property, the Company is obligated to make additional payments to Second City (each, an Earn-Out Payment). Earn-Out Payments are
contingent on the property reaching certain specified occupancy levels through new leases to qualified tenants and exceeding a net operating income threshold, which grows annually. Second City will be entitled to receive an Earn-Out Payment (net of
the associated leasing costs and inclusive of leasing commissions and tenant improvements/allowances and free rent) as and when the occupancy of Central Fairwinds reaches each of 70%, 80% and 90% (each, an Earn-Out Threshold) based on
the incremental cash flow generated by new leases and a 7.75% stabilized capitalization rate. The Company will make any additional Earn-Out Payment within 30 days of the end of the Earn-Out Term based on new qualified leases entered into since
the achievement of the last Earn-Out Threshold. Earn-Out Payments will be subject to a claw-back if a qualified tenant defaults in the payment of rent and is not replaced with another qualified tenant (see note 6).
At September 30, 2015, the 70% earn-out occupancy and net operating income thresholds were met. This triggered a payment of approximately
$3.2 million which was made on August 6, 2015.
The estimated fair value of the earn-out liability decreased from $8.0 million at
December 31, 2014 to $5.4 million at September 30, 2015 primarily due to a $3.2 million payment in August 2014, satisfied through the issuance of common stock, partially offset by an increase in the fair value of the remaining liability
during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 of approximately $0.6 million.
Other
The Company is obligated under certain tenant leases to fund tenant improvements and the expansion of the underlying leased properties.
Under various federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations relating to the protection of the environment, a current or previous
owner or operator of real estate may be liable for the cost of removal or remediation of certain hazardous or toxic substances disposed, stored, generated, released, manufactured or discharged from, on, at, under, or in a property. As such, the
Company may be potentially liable for costs associated with any potential environmental remediation at any of its formerly or currently owned properties.
The Company believes that it is in compliance in all material respects with all federal, state and local ordinances and regulations regarding
hazardous or toxic substances. Management is not aware of any environmental liability that it believes would have a material adverse impact on the Companys financial position or results of operations. Management is unaware of any instances in
which the Company would incur significant environmental costs if any or all properties were sold, disposed of or abandoned. However, there can be no assurance that any such non-compliance, liability, claim or expenditure will not arise in the
future.
The Company is involved from time to time in lawsuits and other disputes which arise in the ordinary course of business. As of
September 30, 2015 management believes that these matters will not have a material adverse effect, individually or in the aggregate, on the Companys financial position or results of operations.
10. Stockholders Equity
The Company issued 5,800,000 shares in the IPO resulting in net proceeds of $63.4 million after deducting the
underwriters discount and offering expenses. The underwriters of the IPO exercised their overallotment option to purchase an additional 782,150 shares of the Companys common stock resulting in additional net proceeds of
$9.1 million after deducting underwriting discounts.
On December 10, 2014, the Company completed a follow-on public offering
pursuant to which the Company sold 3,750,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $12.50 per share. The Company raised $46.9 million in gross proceeds, resulting in net proceeds to the Company of approximately $43.7 million after
deducting
19
approximately $2.6 million in underwriting discounts and approximately $0.6 million in other expenses relating to the offering. On December 23, 2014, the underwriters of the
offering exercised their overallotment option to purchase an additional 512,664 shares of our common stock at the offering price of $12.50 a share for additional gross proceeds to the Company of approximately $6.4 million resulting in
net proceeds to the Company of $6.1 million after deducting approximately $0.3 million in underwriting discounts. All net proceeds from the underwriters exercise of the overallotment option were used to redeem 336,195 common units
and 176,469 common stock held by the Second City Group.
Non-controlling Interests
Non-controlling interests in the Company represent common units of the Operating Partnership held by the Predecessors prior investors.
Non-controlling interests consisted of 3,070,405 Operating Partnership common units and represented an approximately 19.3% interest in the Operating Partnership as of September 30, 2015. Operating Partnership units and shares of common stock
have essentially the same economic characteristics, as they share equally in the total net income or loss distributions of the Operating Partnership. Beginning on or after the date which is 12 months after the later of the completion of the
initial public offering or the date on which a person first became a holder of common units, each limited partner and assignees of limited partners will have the right, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the partnership agreement, to
require the Operating Partnership to redeem all or a portion of the common units held by such limited partner or assignee in exchange for a cash amount per common unit equal to the value of one share of common stock, determined in accordance with
and subject to adjustment under the partnership agreement. The Company has the sole option at its discretion to redeem the common units by issuing common stock on a one-for-one basis. The Operating Partnership unitholders are entitled to share in
cash distributions from the Operating Partnership in proportion to its percentage ownership of common units.
During the nine months ended
September 30, 2015, 12,500 common units were converted to common stock.
Common Stock and Common Unit Distributions
On September 15, 2015, the Companys board of directors declared a cash dividend distribution of $0.235 per share for the quarterly
period ended September 30, 2015. The dividend was paid on October 19, 2015 to stockholders and common unitholders of record on October 5, 2015 for an aggregate of $2.9 million in dividends to stockholders and $0.7 million to common
unitholders, totaling $3.6 million.
Restricted Stock Units
The Company has an equity incentive plan (Equity Incentive Plan) for certain officers, directors, advisors and personnel, and, with
approval of the board of directors, for subsidiaries, the Advisor and their respective affiliates. The Equity Incentive Plan provides for grants of restricted common stock, restricted stock units, phantom shares, stock options, dividend equivalent
rights and other equity-based awards (including LTIP Units), subject to the total number of shares available for issuance under the plan. The Equity Incentive Plan is administered by the compensation committee of the board of directors (the
plan administrator).
The maximum number of shares of common stock that may be issued under the Equity Incentive Plan is
1,263,580 shares. To the extent an award granted under the Equity Incentive Plan expires or terminates, the shares subject to any portion of the award that expires or terminates without having been exercised or paid, as the case may be, will
again become available for the issuance of additional awards.
During the three months ended September 30, 2015, 6,226 restricted
stock units (RSUs) were granted to directors and non-executive employees of the Advisor with a fair value of $0.1 million. The awards will vest in three equal, annual installments on each of the first three anniversaries of the date of
grant. For the three months ended September 30, 2015, 10,783 RSUs vested and the Company recognized net compensation expense of $0.5 million related to the RSUs.
A RSU award represents the right to receive shares of the Companys common stock in the future, after the applicable vesting criteria,
determined by the plan administrator, has been satisfied. The holder of an award of RSU
20
has no rights as a stockholder until shares of common stock are issued in settlement of vested RSUs. The plan administrator may provide for a grant of dividend equivalent rights in connection
with the grant of RSU; provided, however, that if the RSUs do not vest solely upon satisfaction of continued employment or service, any payment in respect to the related dividend equivalent rights will be held by the Company and paid when, and only
to the extent that, the related RSU vest.
11. Subsequent Events
On November 2, 2015, the Company and a subsidiary (Buyer Sub) entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement
(Stock Purchase Agreement) with certain stockholders of the Advisor and two personal holding companies that own stock of the Advisor pursuant to which Buyer Sub will acquire all of the outstanding stock of the Advisor. The transaction is
scheduled to close on February 1, 2016. Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, at closing, the Company will issue 297,321 shares of its common stock to the sellers, which include the Companys three executive officers and Samuel
Belzberg, a director of the Company. In addition, the Company will make cash payments to the sellers of up to $3.5 million if the Companys fully diluted market capitalization reaches the following thresholds prior to December 31, 2016: $1
million upon the Company achieving a $200 million fully diluted market capitalization, an additional $1 million upon the Company achieving a $225 million fully diluted market capitalization and an additional $1.5 million upon the Company achieving a
$250 million fully diluted market capitalization (in each case, including in the calculation of fully diluted market capitalization the value of units of limited partnership interest in the Companys operating partnership held by parties other
than the Company at a value per unit equal to the market price of the Companys common stock).
On November 2, 2015, the Company
and its operating partnership entered into an amendment to the Advisory Agreement that eliminates the payment of acquisition fees by the Company to the Advisor effective as of November 2, 2015. If closing under the Stock Purchase Agreement does
not occur in accordance with its terms, the acquisition fee pursuant to the Advisory Agreement will be reinstated and any foregone fees will become due and payable.
Effective upon closing of the transactions under the Stock Purchase Agreement, each of James Farrar, the Companys Chief Executive
Officer, Gregory Tylee, President and Chief Operating Officer and Anthony Maretic, Chief Financial Officer, Secretary and Treasurer will enter into an employment agreement with a subsidiary of the Company and will become employees of the Company. In
addition, at the same time, approximately ten additional current employees of the Advisor and its affiliates are expected to become employees of the Company and its subsidiaries and the Company will have offices in Vancouver, British Columbia and
Dallas, Texas.
In connection with the closing of the transactions under the Stock Purchase Agreement, a subsidiary of the Company will
enter into an Administrative Services Agreement (the Administrative Services Agreement) with entities that manage real estate investment funds affiliated with Second City Capital II Corporation and Second City Real Estate II Corporation
(the Second City funds). The Companys management team and one of its directors, Samuel Belzberg, are officers of the general partners of the Second City funds and own equity interests in the Second City funds. The Administrative
Services Agreement has a three year term and pursuant to the agreement, a subsidiary of the Company will provide various administrative services and support to the entities managing the Second City funds. The Companys subsidiary will receive
annual payments for these services under the Administrative Services Agreement as follows: first 12 months$1.5 million, second 12 months$1.125 million and third 12 months$0.625 million, for a total of $3.25 million over the
three-year term. In addition, following the expiration of the three year term of the Administrative Services Agreement, the Company will agree to make Messrs. Farrar and Tylee available to assist the Second City funds with respect to certain
matters.

Overview
Company
We were formed as a Maryland corporation on November 26, 2013. On April 21, 2014, we completed our initial public offering
(IPO) of shares of common stock. We contributed the net proceeds of the IPO to our Operating Partnership in exchange for common units in our Operating Partnership. Both we and our Operating Partnership commenced operations upon
completion of the IPO and certain related formation transactions (the Formation Transactions).
Upon completion of the
Formation Transactions we entered into the Advisory Agreement with our Advisor pursuant to which the Advisor will provide management and advisory services to us. The Advisory Agreement requires our Advisor to manage our business affairs in
conformity with policies and investment guidelines that are approved and monitored by our board of directors.
Our interest in our
Operating Partnership entitles us to share in distributions from, and allocations of profits and losses of, our Operating Partnership in proportion to our percentage ownership of common units. As the sole general partner of our Operating
Partnership, we have the exclusive power under the partnership agreement to manage and conduct our Operating Partnerships business, subject to limited approval and voting rights of the limited partners.
On April 21, 2014, we closed the IPO, pursuant to which we sold 5,800,000 shares of common stock to the public at a public offering price
of $12.50 per share. We raised $72.5 million in gross proceeds, resulting in net proceeds to us of approximately $63.4 million after deducting approximately $5.1 million in underwriting discounts and approximately $4.0 million in
other expenses relating to the IPO. On May 9, 2014, the underwriters of the IPO partially exercised their overallotment option with respect to an additional 782,150 shares of our common stock at the IPO price of $12.50 a share resulting in
additional gross proceeds of approximately $9.8 million. The net proceeds to us were $9.1 million after deducting approximately $0.7 million in underwriting discounts. Our common stock began trading on the NYSE under the symbol
CIO on April 15, 2014.
Pursuant to the Formation Transactions and exercise of the underwriters over-allotment
option, our Operating Partnership acquired a 100% interest in each of the Washington Group Plaza, Cherry Creek and Corporate Parkway properties and acquired an approximate 76% economic interest in the AmberGlen property, 90% interest in the Central
Fairwinds property and 95% interest in the City Center property. These initial property interests were contributed in exchange for 3,731,209 common units, 1,858,860 shares of our common stock and $19.4 million of cash. On May 9, 2014, we
used all of the net proceeds from the exercise of the underwriters overallotment option to redeem 479,305 common units and 248,095 common stock from the Second City Group for $9.1 million in cash.
On December 10, 2014, we completed a public offering pursuant to which we sold 3,750,000 of our common stock to the public at a price of
$12.50 per share. We raised $46.9 million in gross proceeds, resulting in net proceeds to us of approximately $43.7 million after deducting approximately $2.6 million in underwriting discounts and approximately $0.6 million
in other expenses relating to the offering. On December 23, 2014, the underwriters of the offering exercised their overallotment option to purchase an additional 512,664 shares of our common stock at
23
the offering price of $12.50 a share resulting in additional gross proceeds to us of approximately $6.4 million resulting in net proceeds to us of $6.1 million after deducting
approximately $0.3 million in underwriting discounts. We used all of the net proceeds from the exercise of the underwriters overallotment option to redeem 336,195 common units and 176,469 common stock from the Second City Group for $6.1
million cash.
We have elected to be taxed and will continue to operate in a manner that will allow us to qualify as a REIT. So long as we
qualify as a REIT, we will be permitted to deduct distributions paid to our stockholders, eliminating the U.S. federal taxation of income represented by such distributions at the company level. REITs are subject to a number of organizational and
operational requirements. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will be subject to U.S. federal income tax (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) on our taxable income at regular corporate tax rates.
On October 29, 2015, we commenced the marketing of our Corporate Parkway property in Center Valley (Allentown), PA, with CBRE Inc. acting as
broker. Corporate Parkway is a 178,330 SF, Class A office campus that is currently 100% leased to the Dun & Bradstreet Corporation. As previously disclosed, in June 2015, an early lease extension for this tenant was completed for an
additional 10 years through January 2027. We are at a preliminary stage in in the marketing process and we anticipate having more clarity regarding the timing and terms of any potential sale of the property in early 2016. Assuming that a
transaction is completed, we expect that the net proceeds will be used to repay debt.
On November 2, 2015, we and one of our
newly-formed subsidiaries (Buyer Sub) entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (Stock Purchase Agreement) with certain stockholders of our Advisor, and two personal holding companies that own stock of the Advisor, pursuant to
which Buyer Sub will acquire all of the outstanding stock of the Advisor and we will transition from an externally managed company to an internally managed company (the Internalization). The Internalization is scheduled to close on
February 1, 2016. Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, on February 1, 2016 we expect to issue 297,321 shares of our common stock to the sellers, which include our three executive officers and Samuel Belzberg, a member of our Board of
Directors. In addition, we expect to make cash payments to the sellers of up to $3.5 million pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement if our fully diluted market capitalization reaches the following thresholds prior to December 31, 2016: $1
million upon achieving a $200 million fully diluted market capitalization, an additional $1 million upon achieving a $225 million fully diluted market capitalization and an additional $1.5 million upon achieving a $250 million fully diluted market
capitalization (in each case, including in the calculation of fully diluted market capitalization the value of common units held by parties other than us at a value per unit equal to the market price of our common stock).
In connection with the execution of the Stock Purchase Agreement, on November 2, 2015, we and our operating partnership entered into an
amendment to the Advisory Agreement that eliminates the payment of acquisition fees by us to the Advisor effective as of November 2, 2015. If closing under the Stock Purchase Agreement does not occur in accordance with its terms, the
acquisition fee pursuant to the Advisory Agreement will be reinstated and any foregone fees will become due and payable.
Effective upon
closing of the Internalization, we expect that each of James Farrar, our Chief Executive Officer, Gregory Tylee, our President and Chief Operating Officer and Anthony Maretic, our Chief Financial Officer, Secretary and Treasurer, will enter into an
employment agreement with one of our subsidiaries and will become our employees. In addition, at closing, we expect that approximately ten additional current employees of the Advisor and its affiliates will become our employees.
In connection with the closing of Internalization, we expect that one of our subsidiaries will enter into an Administrative Services Agreement
(the Administrative Services Agreement) with entities that manage real estate investment funds affiliated with Second City Capital II Corporation and Second City Real Estate II Corporation (the Second City funds). Our
executive officers and one of our directors, Samuel Belzberg, are officers of the general partners of the Second City funds and own equity interests in the Second City funds. We expect that the Administrative Services Agreement will have a three
year term. Pursuant to the Administrative Services Agreement, we expect that one of our subsidiaries will provide various administrative services and support to the entities managing the Second City funds. We expect that this subsidiary will receive
annual payments for these services under the Administrative Services Agreement as follows: first 12 months$1.5 million, second 12 months$1.125 million and third 12 months$0.625 million, for a total of $3.25 million over the
three-year term. In addition, following the expiration of the three year term of the Administrative Services Agreement, we expect to make Messrs. Farrar and Tylee available to assist the Second City funds with respect to certain matters.
Indebtedness
In connection with the
IPO and the related Formation Transactions, we repaid in full the mortgage loan secured by the Central Fairwinds property and completed a mortgage refinancing of three properties (Cherry Creek,
24
City Center and Corporate Parkway) with a new $95 million non-recourse mortgage loan and proceeds from the IPO. On April 29, 2014, we completed a $25.4 million mortgage refinancing
of the AmberGlen property. Following the Formation Transactions, the Washington Group Plaza property remained subject to the existing mortgage loan.
For additional information regarding these mortgage loans and the Secured Credit Facility, please refer to Liquidity and Capital
Resources below.
Revenue Base
As of September 30, 2015, we owned 14 properties comprised of 28 office buildings with a total of approximately 3.3 million square
feet of net rentable area (NRA). As of September 30, 2015, our properties were approximately 95% leased.
Office Leases
Historically, most leases for our properties were on a full-service gross or net lease basis, and we expect to continue to use such leases in
the future. A full-service gross lease generally has a base year expense stop, whereby we pay a stated amount of expenses as part of the rent payment while future increases (above the base year stop) in property operating
expenses are billed to the tenant based on such tenants proportionate square footage in the property. The property operating expenses are reflected in operating expenses; however, only the increased property operating expenses above the
base year stop recovered from tenants are reflected as tenant recoveries in our statements of operations. In a net lease, the tenant is typically responsible for all property taxes and operating expenses. As such, the base rent payment does not
include any operating expenses, but rather all such expenses are billed to or paid by the tenant. The full amount of the expenses for this lease type is reflected in operating expenses, and the reimbursement is reflected in tenant recoveries. The
tenants in the Corporate Parkway, Lake Vista Pointe Florida Research Park and Superior Pointe properties have net leases. We are also a lessor for a fee simple ground lease at the AmberGlen property. All of our remaining leases are full-service
gross leases.
Interest Rate Contracts
As of September 30, 2015, we did not have any interest rate contracts.
Factors That May Influence Our Operating Results and Financial Condition
Business and Strategy
We focus on owning
and acquiring office properties in our target markets. Our target markets generally possess what we believe are favorable economic growth trends, growing populations with above-average employment growth forecasts, a large number of government
offices, large international, national and regional employers across diversified industries, are generally low-cost centers for business operations, and exhibit favorable occupancy trends. We utilize our Advisors market-specific knowledge and
relationships as well as the expertise of local real estate operators and our investment partners to identify acquisition opportunities that we believe will offer cash flow stability and long-term value appreciation. Our target markets are
attractive, among other reasons, because we believe that ownership is often concentrated among local real estate operators that typically do not benefit from the same access to capital as public REITs and there is a relatively low level of
participation of large institutional investors. We believe that these factors result in attractive pricing levels and risk-adjusted returns.
Rental
Revenue and Tenant Recoveries
The amount of net rental revenue generated by our properties will depend principally on our ability to
maintain the occupancy rates of currently leased space and to lease currently available space and space that becomes available from lease terminations. As of September 30, 2015, our properties were approximately 95% leased. The amount of rental
revenue generated also depends on our ability to maintain or increase rental rates at our properties. We believe that the average rental rates for our portfolio of properties are generally in-line or slightly below the current average quoted market
rates. Negative trends in one or more of these factors could adversely affect our rental
25
revenue in future periods. Future economic downturns or regional downturns affecting our markets or submarkets or downturns in our tenants industries that impair our ability to renew or
re-let space and the ability of our tenants to fulfill their lease commitments, as in the case of tenant bankruptcies, could adversely affect our ability to maintain or increase rental rates at our properties. In addition, growth in rental revenue
will also partially depend on our ability to acquire additional properties that meet our investment criteria.
Our Properties
As of September 30, 2015, we own fourteen office complexes comprised of 28 office buildings with a total of approximately 3.3 million
square feet of NRA in the metropolitan areas of Boise (ID), Denver (CO), Portland (OR), Tampa (FL), Allentown (PA), Dallas (TX) and Orlando (FL). The following table presents an overview of our portfolio as of September 30, 2015 (properties
listed by descending NRA by market).

September 30, 2015, compared to $8.8 million for the corresponding period in 2014. The decrease was a result of the refinancing of property level debt which occurred upon completion of the IPO and Formation Transactions which resulted in a
loss on early extinguishment of certain debts and a corresponding decrease in the interest rate of the new debt. Property level interest expense decreased by $1.8 million and $0.7 million respectively due to the refinancing of three properties with
a new $95 million non-recourse loan in connection with the IPO, and the AmberGlen refinancing. Property level interest expense decreased by a further $0.3 million due to the repayment of the Central Fairwinds property debt. Amortization of
deferred financing fees decreased
30
$0.9 million over the prior period due to the accelerated amortization on the Cherry Creek bridge loan incurred by the City Office Predecessor. Offsetting the decrease was an increase to

respectively.
Cash flow from operating activities. Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $6.5 million
to $12.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to $6.0 million for the same period in 2014. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in operating cash flows from new acquisitions.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Analysis of Liquidity
and Capital Resources
We had approximately $10.5 million of cash and cash equivalents and $17.4 million of restricted cash
as of September 30, 2015. In addition, we had drawn $50 million from the Revolving Credit Facility. On July 14, 2015, the authorized borrowing capacity increased from $35 million to $75 million.
Our short-term liquidity requirements primarily consist of operating expenses and other expenditures associated with our properties,
distributions to our limited partners and distributions to our stockholders required to qualify for REIT status, capital expenditures and, potentially, acquisitions. We expect to meet our short-term liquidity requirements through net cash provided
by operations, reserves established from existing cash and borrowings under our Secured Credit Facility.
Our long-term liquidity needs
consist primarily of funds necessary for the repayment of debt at maturity, property acquisitions and non-recurring capital improvements. We expect to meet our long-term liquidity requirements with net cash from operations, long-term secured and
unsecured indebtedness and the issuance of equity and debt securities. We also may fund property acquisitions and non-recurring capital improvements using our Secured Credit Facility pending longer term financing.
We believe we have access to multiple sources of capital to fund our long-term liquidity requirements, including the incurrence of additional
debt and the issuance of additional equity securities. However, we cannot assure you that this is or will continue to be the case. Our ability to incur additional debt is dependent on a number of factors, including our degree of leverage, the value
of our unencumbered assets and borrowing restrictions that may be imposed by lenders. Our ability to access the equity capital markets is dependent on a number of factors as well, including general market conditions for REITs and market perceptions
about us.
31
Consolidated Indebtedness as of September 30, 2015

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of September 30, 2015, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
Inflation
Substantially all of our
office leases provide for real estate tax and operating expense escalations. In addition, most of the leases provide for fixed annual rent increases. We believe that inflationary increases may be at least partially offset by these contractual rent
increases and expense escalations.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Our future income, cash flows and fair values relevant to financial instruments are dependent upon prevailing market interest rates. Market
risk refers to the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and interest rates. We have used, and will use, derivative financial instruments to manage or hedge interest rate risks related to borrowings. We do not use derivatives for
trading or speculative purposes and only enter into contracts with major financial institutions based upon their credit rating and other factors. We have entered, and we will only enter into, contracts with major financial institutions based on
their credit rating and other factors. As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, our Company did not have any outstanding derivatives.
As of September 30, 2015, approximately $280.9 million, or 81.4%, of our debt had fixed interest rates and approximately
$64.0 million, or 18.6%, had variable interest rates. The variable rate indebtedness relates to borrowings under the Secured Credit Facility and the Intellicenter Term Loan.
The variable rate component of our consolidated indebtedness is LIBOR-based. Assuming no increase in the amount of our variable rate debt as
of September 30, 2015, if LIBOR were to increase by 100 basis points, the increase in interest expense on our variable rate debt would decrease our future earnings and cash flows by approximately $0.6 million annually. If LIBOR were to decrease
by 100 basis points, interest expense on our variable rate debt would decrease by approximately $0.6 million annually.
The primary market
risk to which we are exposed is interest rate risk. Our primary interest rate exposure is LIBOR. We primarily use fixed interest rate financing to manage our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is processed, recorded, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the
rules and regulations of the SEC and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives,
and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
We have
carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, regarding the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and
33
procedures as of September 30, 2015, the end of the period covered by this report. Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded, as of
September 30, 2015, that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act (i) is processed, recorded, summarized and
reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow for timely
decisions regarding required disclosure.
No changes to our internal control over financial reporting were identified in connection with
the evaluation referenced above that occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
This quarterly report does not include a report of managements assessment regarding internal control over financial reporting or an
attestation report of the Companys registered public accounting firm due to a transition period established by the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission for newly public companies.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
We and our subsidiaries are, from time to time, parties to litigation arising from the ordinary course of their business. Our management does not believe that
any such litigation will materially affect our financial position or operations.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
We cannot assure you that we will be able to complete an internalization of our management (the Internalization) pursuant to the Stock
Purchase Agreement (as defined below), or that the final terms of the Internalization will be consistent with our current expectations, either of which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
On November 2, 2015, we and one of our newly-formed subsidiaries (Buyer Sub) entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement
(Stock Purchase Agreement) with certain stockholders of our Advisor, and two personal holding companies that own stock of the Advisor, pursuant to which we expect Buyer Sub will acquire all of the outstanding stock of the Advisor and we
will transition from an externally managed company to an internally managed company. The Internalization is scheduled to close on February 1, 2016. Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, on February 1, 2016 we expect to issue 297,321
shares of our common stock to the sellers, which include our three executive officers and Samuel Belzberg, a member of our Board of Directors. In addition, we expect to make cash payments (Earn-out Payments) to the sellers of up to $3.5
million pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement if our fully diluted market capitalization reaches the following thresholds prior to December 31, 2016: $1 million upon achieving a $200 million fully diluted market capitalization, an
additional $1 million upon achieving a $225 million fully diluted market capitalization and an additional $1.5 million upon achieving a $250 million fully diluted market capitalization (in each case, including in the calculation of fully diluted
market capitalization the value of common units held by parties other than us at a value per unit equal to the market price of our common stock).
In
connection with the execution of the Stock Purchase Agreement, on November 2, 2015, we and our operating partnership entered into an amendment to the Advisory Agreement that eliminates the payment of acquisition fees by us to the Advisor
effective as of November 2, 2015. If closing under the Stock Purchase Agreement does not occur in accordance with its terms, the acquisition fee pursuant to the Advisory Agreement will be reinstated and any foregone fees will become due and
payable.
Effective upon closing of the Internalization, we expect that each of James Farrar, our Chief Executive Officer, Gregory Tylee, our President
and Chief Operating Officer and Anthony Maretic, our Chief Financial Officer, Secretary and Treasurer, will enter into an employment agreement with one of our subsidiaries and will become our employees. In addition, at closing, we expect that
approximately ten additional current employees of the Advisor and its affiliates will become our employees.
In connection with the closing of
Internalization, we expect that one of our subsidiaries will enter into an Administrative Services Agreement (the Administrative Services Agreement) with entities that manage real estate investment funds affiliated with Second City
Capital II Corporation and Second City Real Estate II Corporation (the Second City funds). Our executive officers and one of our directors, Samuel Belzberg, are officers of the general partners of the Second City funds and own equity
interests in the Second City funds. We expect that the Administrative Services Agreement will have a three year term. Pursuant to the Administrative Services Agreement, we expect that one of our subsidiaries will provide various administrative
services and support to the entities managing the Second City funds. We expect that this subsidiary will receive annual payments for these services under the Administrative Services Agreement (Service Payments) as follows: first 12
months$1.5 million, second 12 months$1.125 million and third 12 months$0.625 million, for a total of $3.25 million over the three-year term. In addition, following the expiration of the three year term of the Administrative
Services Agreement, we expect to make Messrs. Farrar and Tylee available to assist the Second City funds with respect to certain matters.
35
We cannot assure you that we will be able to close on the acquisition of our Advisor pursuant to the Stock
Purchase Agreement. We cannot be certain if we will become obligated to make any or all of the Earn-out Payments under the Stock Purchase Agreement, and we cannot guarantee that we will be able to collect the Service Payments pursuant to the
Administrative Services Agreement. We may not be able to retain all of the current employees of our Advisor or our executive officers upon Internalization. Our general and administrative expenses after the Internalization could be higher than our
current expectations. Any of these foregoing risks could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

§4. CERTAIN GENERAL PROVISIONS.
§4.1 Conversion Options.
(a) The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert any of its
outstanding Loans to a Loan of another Type and such Loans shall thereafter bear interest as a Base Rate Loan or a LIBOR Rate Loan, as applicable; provided that (i) with respect to any such conversion of a LIBOR Rate Loan to a Base Rate
Loan, the Borrower shall give the Agent at least one (1) Business Days prior written notice of such election, and such conversion shall only be made on the last day of the Interest Period with respect to such LIBOR Rate Loan unless the
Borrower pays Breakage Costs as required under this Agreement; (ii) with respect to any such conversion of a Base Rate Loan to a LIBOR Rate Loan, the Borrower shall give the Agent at least three (3) LIBOR Business Days prior written
notice of such election and the Interest Period requested for such Loan, the principal amount of the Loan so converted shall be in a minimum aggregate amount of $100,000 and, after giving effect to the making of such Loan, there shall be no more
than four (4) LIBOR Rate Loans outstanding at any one time; and (iii) no Loan may be converted into a LIBOR Rate Loan when any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. All or any part of the outstanding Loans of any Type
may be converted as provided herein, provided that no partial conversion shall result in a Base Rate Loan in a principal amount of less than $100,000 or a LIBOR Rate Loan in a principal amount of less than $100,000. On the date on which such
conversion is being made, each Lender shall take such action as is necessary to transfer its Commitment Percentage of such Loans to its Domestic Lending Office or its LIBOR Lending Office, as the case may be. Each Conversion/Continuation Request
relating to the conversion of a Base Rate Loan to a LIBOR Rate Loan shall be irrevocable by the Borrower.
(b) Any LIBOR Rate Loan may be continued as such Type upon the
expiration of an Interest Period with respect thereto by compliance by the Borrower with the terms of §4.1; provided that no LIBOR Rate Loan may be continued as such when any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
but shall be automatically converted to a Base Rate Loan on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto ending during the continuance of any Default or Event of Default.
(c) In the event that the Borrower does not notify the Agent of
its election hereunder with respect to any LIBOR Rate Loan, such Loan shall be automatically continued at the end of the applicable Interest Period as a LIBOR Rate Loan for an Interest Period of one month unless such Interest Period shall be greater
than the time remaining until the Maturity Date, in which case such Loan shall be automatically converted to a Base Rate Loan at the end of the applicable Interest Period.
§4.2 Fees. In addition to all fees specified herein, the Borrower
agrees to pay to KeyBank and the Arranger, for their own account, certain fees for services rendered or to be rendered in connection with the Loan as provided pursuant to a fee letter dated on or about the Closing Date, between the Borrower and
KeyBank (the Agreement Regarding Fees).
§4.3 RESERVED.
§4.4 Funds for Payments.
(a) All payments of principal, interest, facility fees, closing
fees and any other amounts due hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents shall be made to Agent, for the respective accounts of Lenders and the Agent, as the case may be, at the Agents Head Office, not later than 3:00 p.m. (Eastern
18
time) on the day when due (or such later time as is acceptable to the Agent in the event of a payment in full of all Loan and a termination of Commitments hereunder), in each case in lawful money
of the United States in immediately available funds. To the extent not already paid pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Agent is hereby authorized to charge the accounts of the Borrower with KeyBank, on the dates when the amount thereof shall
become due and payable, with the amounts of the principal of and interest on the Loan and all fees, charges, expenses and other amounts owing to the Agent and/or the Lenders under the Loan Documents. Subject to the foregoing, all payments made to
the Agent on behalf of the Lenders, and actually received by the Agent, shall be deemed received by the Lenders on the date actually received by the Agent.
(b) All payments by the Borrower hereunder and under any of the other Loan
Documents shall be made without setoff or counterclaim and free and clear of and without deduction for any Taxes now or hereafter imposed or levied by the United States of America or any political subdivision thereof or taxing or other authority
therein or any jurisdiction from or through which a payment is made by the Borrower, excluding any income Taxes, franchise or similar Taxes and any Taxes imposed by a jurisdiction as a result of any connection between a Lender and such jurisdiction
other than any connection arising solely from executing, delivering, performing its obligations under, or enforcing any Loan Document (such Taxes, other than those so excluded as specifically set forth in this sentence referred to as
Non-Excluded Taxes), unless the Borrower is compelled by law to make such deduction or withholding. If any such obligation is imposed upon the Borrower with respect to any amount payable by the Borrower hereunder or under any of
the other Loan Documents, the Borrower will pay to the Agent, for the account of the Lenders or (as the case may be) the Agent, on the date on which such amount is due and payable hereunder or under such other Loan Document, such additional amount
in Dollars as shall be necessary to enable the Lenders or the Agent to receive the same net amount which the Lenders or the Agent would have received on such due date had no such obligation been imposed upon the Borrower; provided,
however, that the Borrower shall not be required to increase any such amounts payable to any Lender with respect to any Non-Excluded Taxes (i) that are attributable to such Lenders failure to comply with the requirements of
§4.4(c) or such Lenders failure to comply with Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code or any regulations promulgated thereunder (FATCA) to establish an exemption from withholding thereunder; (ii) that are branch
profits taxes imposed by the United States or any similar taxes imposed by any other jurisdiction under the laws of which a Lender is organized or in which its applicable lending office is located; or (iii) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender and
notwithstanding any consent given pursuant to §18.1, that are imposed on amounts payable to such Lender at the time such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement (or designates a new lending office), except to the extent that such Lender (or
its assignor, if any) was entitled, at the time of designation of a new lending office (or assignment) to receive additional amounts from the Borrower with respect to such Non-Excluded Taxes pursuant to this §4.4(b). The Borrower will deliver
promptly to Agent certificates or other valid vouchers for all Taxes or other charges deducted from or paid with respect to payments made by the Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document. In the event a Lender receives a refund or credit
of any Non-Excluded Taxes paid by the Borrower pursuant to this section, such Lender will pay to the Borrower the amount of such refund or credit (and any interest received with respect thereto) promptly upon receipt thereof; provided that if
at any time thereafter such Lender is required to return such refund or credit, the Borrower shall promptly repay to such Lender the amount of such refund or credit, net of any reasonable incremental additional costs.
(c) Each Lender that is not a United States Person (as such term is defined in
Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) for U.S. federal income tax purposes (a Non-U.S. Lender), to the extent such Lender is lawfully able to do so, shall provide the Borrower on or prior to the Closing Date (in the case of each Lender
listed on the signature pages hereof on the Closing Date) or on or prior to the date of the Assignment and Acceptance Agreement pursuant to which it becomes a Lender (in the case of each other Lender), and at such other times as may be necessary in
the determination of the Borrower, with (x) two (2) original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, W-8ECI and/or W-8IMY (or, in each case, any successor forms), properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, and any other
such duly executed form(s) or statement(s) (including whether such Lender has complied with the FATCA) which may, from
19
time to time, be prescribed by law and, which, pursuant to applicable provisions of (i) an income tax treaty between the United States and the country of residence of such Lender,
(ii) the Code, or (iii) any applicable rules or regulations in effect under (i) or (ii) above, establish that such Lender is not subject to deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax with respect to any payments
to such Lender of principal, interest, fees or other amounts payable under any of the Loan Documents, or (y) if such Lender is not a bank or other Person described in Section 881(c)(3) of the Code, a Certificate Regarding
Non-Bank Status together with two (2) original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or any successor form), properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, and such other documentation required under the Code and requested by
the Borrower to establish that such Lender is not subject to deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax with respect to any payments to such Lender of interest payable under any of the Loan Documents. Each Lender that is a United
States Person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) for United States federal income tax purposes (a U.S. Lender) and is not an exempt recipient within the meaning of Treasury Regulations
Section 1.6049-4(c) shall provide the Borrower on or prior to the Closing Date (or, if later, on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement) two (2) original copies of Internal Revenue Service From W-9 (or
any successor form), properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, certifying that such U.S. Lender is entitled to an exemption from United States backup withholding tax, or otherwise prove that it is entitled to such an exemption. Each
Lender required to deliver any forms, certificates or other evidence with respect to United States federal income tax withholding matters pursuant to this section hereby agrees, from time to time after the initial delivery by such Lender of such
forms, certificates or other evidence, whenever a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders such forms, certificates or other evidence obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, that such Lender shall promptly provide the Borrower two
(2) new original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, W-8BEN, W-8ECI and/or W-8IMY (or, in each case, any successor form), or a Certificate Regarding
Non-Bank Status and two (2) original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or any successor form), as the case may be, properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, and such other documentation required under the Code and
requested by the Borrower to confirm or establish that such Lender is not subject to deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax with respect to payments to such Lender under the Loan Documents, or notify the Borrower of its
inability to deliver any such forms, certificates or other evidence.
§4.5 Computations. All computations of interest on the Loan and of
other fees to the extent applicable shall be based on a 360-day year and paid for the actual number of days elapsed. Except as otherwise provided in the definition of the term Interest Period with respect to LIBOR Rate Loan, whenever a
payment hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents becomes due on a day that is not a Business Day, the due date for such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and interest shall accrue during such extension. The
Outstanding Loan as reflected on the records of the Agent from time to time shall be considered prima facie evidence of such amount.
§4.6 Suspension of LIBOR Rate Loan. In the event that, prior to the
commencement of any Interest Period relating to any LIBOR Rate Loan, Agent shall determine that adequate and reasonable methods do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR for such Interest Period, or Agent shall reasonably determine that LIBOR will not
accurately and fairly reflect the cost of the Lenders making or maintaining LIBOR Rate Loan for such Interest Period, the Agent shall forthwith give notice of such determination (which shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and the Lenders
absent manifest error) to the Borrower and the Lenders. In such event (a) any Loan Request with respect to a LIBOR Rate Loan shall be automatically withdrawn and shall be deemed a request for a Base Rate Loan and (b) each LIBOR Rate Loan
will automatically, on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto, become a Base Rate Loan, and the obligations of Lenders to make LIBOR Rate Loan shall be suspended until Agent determines that the circumstances giving rise
to such suspension no longer exist, whereupon the Agent shall so notify the Borrower and the Lenders.
20
§4.7 Illegality.
Notwithstanding any other provisions herein, if any Change in Law shall make it unlawful, or any central bank or other governmental authority having jurisdiction over a Lender or its LIBOR Lending Office shall assert that it is unlawful, for any
Lender to make or maintain LIBOR Rate Loan, such Lender shall forthwith give notice of such circumstances to the Agent and the Borrower thereupon (a) the commitment of the Lenders to make LIBOR Rate Loan shall forthwith be suspended and
(b) the LIBOR Rate Loan then outstanding shall be converted automatically to Base Rate Loan on the last day of each Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loan or within such earlier period as may be required by law. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, before giving such notice, the applicable Lender shall designate a different lending office if such designation will void the need for giving such notice and will not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, be otherwise materially
disadvantageous to such Lender or increase any costs payable by the Borrower hereunder.
§4.8 Additional Interest. If any LIBOR Rate Loan or any portion
thereof is repaid or is converted to a Base Rate Loan for any reason on a date which is prior to the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loan, or if repayment of the Loan has been accelerated as provided in §12.1, the
Borrower will pay to the Agent upon demand for the account of the applicable Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages, in addition to any amounts of interest otherwise payable hereunder, the Breakage Costs. The Borrower
understands, agrees and acknowledges the following: (i) no Lender has any obligation to purchase, sell and/or match funds in connection with the use of LIBOR as a basis for calculating the rate of interest on a LIBOR Rate Loan; (ii) LIBOR
is used merely as a reference in determining such rate; and (iii) the Borrower have accepted LIBOR as a reasonable and fair basis for calculating such rate and any Breakage Costs. The Borrower further agrees to pay the Breakage Costs, if any,
whether or not a Lender elects to purchase, sell and/or match funds.
§4.9 Additional Costs, Etc. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, if any Change in Law, shall:
(a) subject any Lender
or the Agent to any tax, levy, impost, duty, charge, fee, deduction or withholding of any nature with respect to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, such Lenders Commitment, the Loan (other than taxes based upon or measured by the gross
receipts, income or profits of such Lender or the Agent or its franchise tax), or
(b) materially change the basis of taxation (except for changes in
taxes on gross receipts, income or profits or its franchise tax) of payments to any Lender of the principal of or the interest on any Loan or any other amounts payable to any Lender under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or
(c) impose or increase or render applicable any special deposit,
reserve, assessment, liquidity, capital adequacy or other similar requirements (whether or not having the force of law and which are not already reflected in any amounts payable by the Borrower hereunder) against assets held by, or deposits in or
for the account of, or loans by, or commitments of an office of any Lender, or
(d) impose on any Lender or the Agent any other conditions or
requirements with respect to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Loan, such Lenders Commitment, or any class of loans or commitments of which any of the Loan or such Lenders Commitment forms a part; and the result of any of the
foregoing is:
(i) to increase the cost to any
Lender of making, funding, issuing, renewing, extending or maintaining the Loan, or such Lenders Commitment, or
(ii) to reduce the amount of principal, interest or
other amount payable to any Lender or Agent hereunder on account of such Lenders Commitment or the Loan, or
21
(iii) to require any Lender
or the Agent to make any payment or to forego any interest or other sum payable hereunder, the amount of which payment or foregone interest or other sum is calculated by reference to the gross amount of any sum receivable or deemed received by such
Lender or the Agent from the Borrower hereunder, then, and in each such case, the Borrower will (and as to clauses (a) and (b) above, subject to the provisions of Section §4.4), within thirty (30) days of demand made by such
Lender or (as the case may be) the Agent at any time and from time to time and as often as the occasion therefor may arise, pay to such Lender or the Agent such additional amounts as such Lender or the Agent shall reasonably determine in good faith
to be sufficient to compensate such Lender or the Agent for such additional cost, reduction, payment or foregone interest or other sum. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this §4.9 shall not apply with respect to Taxes, which shall
be governed by §4.4(b) and §4.4(c).
§4.10 Capital Adequacy. If
after the date hereof any Lender determines that (a) as a result of a Change in Law, or (b) compliance by such Lender or its parent bank holding company with any directive of any such entity regarding liquidity or capital adequacy, has the
effect of reducing the return on such Lenders or such holding companys capital as a consequence of such Lenders commitment to make Loan hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or holding company could have achieved but
for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lenders or such holding companys then existing policies with respect to capital adequacy and assuming the full utilization of such entitys capital) by any
amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then such Lender may notify the Borrower thereof. The Borrower agrees to pay to such Lender the amount of such reduction in the return on capital as and when such reduction is reasonably determined, upon
presentation by such Lender of a statement of the amount setting forth the Lenders calculation thereof. In determining such amount, such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods generally applied by such Lender.
§4.11 Breakage Costs. The Borrower shall pay all Breakage Costs required to be
paid by them pursuant to this Agreement and incurred from time to time by any Lender within fifteen (15) days from receipt of written notice from the Agent, or such earlier date as may be required by this Agreement.
§4.12 Default Interest; Late Charge. Following the occurrence and during the
continuance of any Event of Default, and regardless of whether or not the Agent or the Lenders shall have accelerated the maturity of the Loan, the Loan shall bear interest payable on demand at a rate per annum equal to four percent
(4.0%) above the interest rate that would otherwise be in effect hereunder (the Default Rate), until such amount shall be paid in full (after as well as before judgment). In addition, the Borrower shall pay a late charge
equal to four percent (4.0%) of any amount of interest and/or principal payable on the Loan (other than amounts due on the Maturity Date or as a result of acceleration), which is not paid by the Borrower within ten (10) days of the date
when due.
§4.13 Certificate. A certificate setting forth any amounts payable
pursuant to §4.8, §4.9, §4.10, §4.11 or §4.12 and a reasonably detailed explanation of such amounts which are due, submitted by any Lender or the Agent to the Borrower, shall be prima facie evidence of the amount due. A
Lender shall be entitled to reimbursement under §4.9, or §4.10 from and after notice to the Borrower that such amounts are due given in accordance with §4.9 or §4.10 and for a period of ninety (90) days prior to receipt of
such notice if such Change in Law was effective during such ninety (90) day period.
§4.14 Limitation on Interest. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the
other Loan Documents to the contrary, all agreements between or among the Borrower, the Lenders and the Agent, whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether written or oral, are hereby limited so that in no contingency, whether by reason of
acceleration of the maturity of any of the Obligations or otherwise, shall the interest contracted for, charged or received by the Lenders exceed the maximum amount permissible under applicable law. If, from any circumstance whatsoever, interest
would otherwise be payable to the Lenders in excess of the maximum lawful amount, the interest payable to the Lenders shall be reduced to the
22
maximum amount permitted under applicable law; and if from any circumstance the Lenders shall ever receive anything of value deemed interest by applicable law in excess of the maximum lawful
amount, an amount equal to any excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal balance of the Obligations and to the payment of interest or, if such excessive interest exceeds the unpaid balance of principal of the Obligations,
such excess shall be refunded to the Borrower. All interest paid or agreed to be paid to the Lenders shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full period until payment in full of
the principal of the Obligations (including the period of any renewal or extension thereof) so that the interest thereon for such full period shall not exceed the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. This Section shall control all agreements
between or among the Borrower, the Lenders and the Agent.
§4.15 Certain
Provisions Relating to Increased Costs and Non-Funding Lenders. If a Lender gives notice of the existence of the circumstances set forth in §4.7 or any Lender requests compensation for any losses or costs to be reimbursed pursuant to any one or
more of the provisions of §4.4(b) (as a result of the imposition of U.S. withholding taxes on amounts paid to such Lender under this Agreement), §4.9 or §4.10, then, upon the request of the Borrower, such Lender, as applicable, shall
use reasonable efforts in a manner consistent with such institutions practice in connection with loans like the Loan of such Lender to eliminate, mitigate or reduce amounts that would otherwise be payable by the Borrower under the foregoing
provisions, provided that such action would not be otherwise prejudicial to such Lender, including, without limitation, by designating another of such Lenders offices, branches or affiliates; the Borrower agreeing to pay all reasonable
and necessary costs and expenses incurred by such Lender in connection with any such action. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and if any Lender has
given notice of the existence of the circumstances set forth in §4.7 or has requested payment or compensation for any losses or costs to be reimbursed pursuant to any one or more of the provisions of §4.4(b) (as a result of the imposition
of U.S. withholding taxes on amounts paid to such Lender under this Agreement), §4.9 or §4.10 and following the request of the Borrower has been unable to take the steps described above to mitigate such amounts (each, an Affected
Lender) and such failure has not been cured (a Non-Funding Lender), then, within ninety (90) days after such notice or request for payment or compensation or failure to fund, as applicable, the Borrower shall have the
right as to such Affected Lender or Non-Funding Lender, as applicable, to be exercised by delivery of written notice delivered to the Agent and the Affected Lender or Non-Funding Lender, within ninety (90) days of receipt of such notice or
failure to fund, as applicable, to elect to cause the Affected Lender or Non-Funding Lender, as applicable, to transfer its Commitment. The Agent shall promptly notify the remaining Lenders that each of such Lenders shall have the right, but not the
obligation, to acquire a portion of the Commitment, pro rata based upon their relevant Commitment Percentages, of the Affected Lender or Non-Funding Lender, as applicable (or if any of such Lenders does not elect to purchase its pro rata share, then
to such remaining Lenders in such proportion as approved by the Agent). In the event that the Lenders do not elect to acquire all of the Affected Lenders or Non-Funding Lenders Commitment, then the Agent shall endeavor to obtain a new
Lender to acquire such remaining Commitment. Upon any such purchase of the Commitment of the Affected Lender or Non-Funding Lender, as applicable, the Affected Lenders or Non-Funding Lenders interest in the Obligations and its rights
hereunder and under the Loan Documents shall terminate at the date of purchase, and the Affected Lender or Non-Funding Lender, as applicable, shall promptly execute all documents reasonably requested to surrender and transfer such interest. The
purchase price for the Affected Lenders or Non-Funding Lenders Commitment shall equal any and all amounts outstanding and owed by the Borrower to the Affected Lender or Non-Funding Lender, as applicable, including principal, prepayment
premium or fee, and all accrued and unpaid interest or fees.
23
§5. COLLATERAL SECURITY.
§5.1 Collateral. The Obligations and the Hedge Obligations shall be
secured by a perfected first priority lien and security interest to be held by the Agent for the benefit of the Lenders on the Collateral, pursuant to the terms of and subject to the limitations contained in the Security Documents.
§5.2 Release of Collateral. Upon the refinancing or repayment of the
Obligations in full, then the Agent shall release the Collateral from the lien and security interest of the Security Documents and to release the Borrower; provided that the Agent has not received a notice from the Representative (as
defined in §14.17) or the holder of the Hedge Obligations that any Hedge Obligation is then due and payable to the holder thereof.
§6. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. The Borrower represent and warrant to the Agent and
the Lenders as follows, each as of the Closing Date hereof, and as of the date of a request for a funding of any Loan hereunder:

§12.4 Remedies. In case any one or more Events of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and whether or not the Lenders shall have accelerated the maturity of the Loan pursuant to §12.1, the Agent on behalf of the Lenders may, and upon the direction of the Required Lenders shall,
proceed to protect and enforce their rights and remedies under this Agreement, the Notes and/or any of the other Loan Documents by suit in equity, action at law or other appropriate proceeding, including to the full extent permitted by applicable
law the specific performance of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the obtaining of the ex parte appointment of a receiver, and, if any amount shall have become due, by declaration or otherwise, the
enforcement of the payment thereof. No remedy herein conferred upon the Agent or the holder of any Note is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy and each and every remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy
given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or any other provision of law. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Agreement providing that the Loan may be evidenced by multiple Notes in favor of the Lenders, the
Lenders acknowledge and agree that only the Agent may exercise any remedies arising by reason of a Default or Event of Default. If any Credit Party fails to perform any agreement or covenant contained in this Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents beyond any applicable period for notice and cure, the Agent may itself perform, or cause to be performed, any agreement or covenant of such Person contained in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents which such Person shall fail
to perform, and the out-of-pocket costs of such performance, together with any reasonable expenses, including reasonable attorneys fees actually incurred (including attorneys fees incurred in any appeal) by the Agent in connection
therewith, shall be payable by the Borrower upon demand and shall constitute a part of the Obligations and shall if not paid within five (5) days after demand bear interest at the rate for overdue amounts as set forth in this Agreement. In the
event that all or any portion of the Obligations is collected by or through an attorney-at-law, the Borrower shall pay all costs of collection including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys fees.
§12.5 Distribution of Collateral Proceeds. In the event that,
following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, any monies are received in connection with the enforcement of any of the Loan Documents, or otherwise with respect to the realization upon any of the Collateral or other
assets of Credit Parties, such monies shall be distributed for application as follows:
(a) First, to the payment of, or (as the case may be)
the reimbursement of the Agent for or in respect of, all reasonable out-of-pocket costs, expenses, disbursements and losses which shall have been paid, incurred or sustained by the Agent in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents to protect
or preserve the Collateral or in connection with the collection of such monies by the Agent, for the exercise, protection or enforcement by the Agent of all or any of the rights, remedies, powers and privileges of the Agent or the Lenders under this
Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or in respect of the Collateral or in support of any provision of adequate indemnity to the Agent against any taxes or liens which by law shall have, or may have, priority over the rights of the Agent or
the Lenders to such monies;
(b) Second, to all
other Obligations and Hedge Obligations in such order or preference as the Required Lenders shall determine; provided, that (i) distributions in respect of such other Obligations shall include, on a pari passu basis, any Agents fee
payable pursuant to §4.2; (ii) in the event that any Lender shall have wrongfully failed or refused to make an advance under Error! Reference source not found. and such failure or refusal shall be continuing, advances made by other
Lenders during the pendency of such failure or
45
refusal shall be entitled to be repaid as to principal and accrued interest in priority to the other Obligations and Hedge Obligations described in this subsection (b); and (iv) Obligations
owing to the Lenders with respect to each type of Obligation such as interest, principal, fees and expenses and Hedge Obligations shall be made among the Lenders, pro rata, and among the Lender Hedge Providers pro rata; and provided,
further that the Required Lenders may in their discretion make proper allowance to take into account any Obligations and Hedge Obligations not then due and payable;
(c) Third, the excess, if any, shall be returned to the Borrower or to such
other Persons as are entitled thereto.
§13. SETOFF. Regardless of the
adequacy of any Collateral, during the continuance of any Event of Default, any deposits (general or specific, time or demand, provisional or final, regardless of currency, maturity, or the branch where such deposits are held) or other sums credited
by or due from any Lender or any Affiliate thereof to the Borrower or the Pledgor and any securities or other property of such parties in the possession of such Lender or any Affiliate may, without notice to the Borrower (any such notice being
expressly waived by the Borrower) but with the prior written approval of the Agent, be applied to or set off against the payment of Obligations and any and all other liabilities, direct, or indirect, absolute or contingent, due or to become due, now
existing or hereafter arising, of the Borrower or the Pledgor to such Lender. Each of Lenders agrees with each other Lender that if such Lender shall receive from the Borrower or the Pledgor, whether by voluntary payment, exercise of the right of
setoff, or otherwise, and shall retain and apply to the payment of the Note or Notes held by such Lender any amount in excess of its ratable portion of the payments received by all of the Lenders with respect to the Notes held by all of the Lenders,
such Lender will make such disposition and arrangements with the other Lenders with respect to such excess, either by way of distribution, pro tanto assignment of claims, subrogation or otherwise as shall result in each Lender
receiving in respect of the Notes held by it its proportionate payment as contemplated by this Agreement; provided that if all or any part of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such Lender, such disposition and arrangements
shall be rescinded and the amount restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.
§14. THE AGENT.
§14.1 Authorization. The Agent is authorized to take such action
on behalf of each of the Lenders and to exercise all such powers as are hereunder and under any of the other Loan Documents and any related documents delegated to the Agent and all other powers not specifically reserved to the Lenders, together with
such powers as are reasonably incident thereto, provided that no duties or responsibilities not expressly assumed herein or therein shall be implied to have been assumed by the Agent. The obligations of the Agent hereunder are primarily
administrative in nature, and nothing contained in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents shall be construed to constitute the Agent as a trustee for any Lender or to create an agency or fiduciary relationship. The Agent shall act as the
contractual representative of the Lenders hereunder, and notwithstanding the use of the term Agent, it is understood and agreed that the Agent shall not have any fiduciary duties or responsibilities to any Lender by reason of this
Agreement or any other Loan Document and is acting as an independent contractor, the duties and responsibilities of which are limited to those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The Borrower and any other Person
shall be entitled to conclusively rely on a statement from the Agent that it has the authority to act for and bind the Lenders pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
§14.2 Employees and Agents. The Agent may exercise its powers and
execute its duties by or through employees or agents and shall be entitled to take, and to rely on, advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to its rights and duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The Agent may utilize
the services of such Persons as the Agent may reasonably determine, and all reasonable fees and expenses of any such Persons shall be paid by the Borrower.
46
§14.3 No
Liability. Neither the Agent nor any of its shareholders, directors, officers or employees nor any other Person assisting them in their duties nor any agent, or employee thereof, shall be liable to the Lenders for (a) any
waiver, consent or approval given or any action taken, or omitted to be taken, in good faith by it or them hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, or in connection herewith or therewith, or be responsible for the consequences of any
oversight or error of judgment whatsoever, except that the Agent or such other Person, as the case may be, shall be liable for losses due to its willful misconduct or gross negligence as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction after
the expiration of all applicable appeal periods or (b) any action taken or not taken by the Agent with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders. The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any
Default or Event of Default, except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest and fees required to be paid to the Agent for the account of the Lenders, unless the Agent has received notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring
to the Loan Documents and describing with reasonable specificity such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a notice of default.
§14.4 No Representations. The Agent shall not be responsible for the
execution or validity or enforceability of this Agreement, the Notes, any of the other Loan Documents or any instrument at any time constituting, or intended to constitute, collateral security for the Notes, or for the value of any such collateral
security or for the validity, enforceability or collectability of any such amounts owing with respect to the Notes, or for any recitals or statements, warranties or representations made herein, or any agreement, instrument or certificate delivered
in connection therewith or in any of the other Loan Documents or in any certificate or instrument hereafter furnished to it by or on behalf of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or be bound to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or
observance of any of the terms, conditions, covenants or agreements herein or in any of the other Loan Documents. The Agent shall not be bound to ascertain whether any notice, consent, waiver or request delivered to it by the Borrower or any holder
of any of the Notes shall have been duly authorized or is true, accurate and complete. The Agent has not made nor does it now make any representations or warranties, express or implied, nor does it assume any liability to the Lenders, with respect
to the creditworthiness or financial condition of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or the value of the Collateral or any other assets of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without
reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender, and based upon such information and documents as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will,
independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender, based upon such information and documents as it deems appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis and decisions in taking or not taking action under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The Agents Special Counsel has only represented the Agent and KeyBank in connection with the Loan Documents and the only attorney client relationship or duty of care is between the Agents Special
Counsel and the Agent or KeyBank. Each Lender has been independently represented by separate counsel on all matters regarding the Loan Documents and the granting and perfecting of liens in the Collateral.
§14.5 Payments.
(a) A payment by the
Borrower to the Agent hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents for the account of any Lender shall constitute a payment to such Lender. The Agent agrees to distribute to each Lender not later than one Business Day after the Agents
receipt of good funds, determined in accordance with the Agents customary practices, such Lenders pro rata share of payments received by the Agent for the account of the Lenders except as otherwise expressly provided herein or in any of
the other Loan Documents. In the event that the Agent fails to distribute such amounts within one Business Day as provided above, the Agent shall pay interest on such amount at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate from time to
time in effect.
47
(b) If in the
reasonable opinion of the Agent the distribution of any amount received by it in such capacity hereunder, under the Notes or under any of the other Loan Documents might involve it in liability, it may refrain from making such distribution until its
right to make such distribution shall have been adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction. If a court of competent jurisdiction shall adjudge that any amount received and distributed by the Agent is to be repaid, each Person to whom any such
distribution shall have been made shall either repay to the Agent its proportionate share of the amount so adjudged to be repaid or shall pay over the same in such manner and to such Persons as shall be determined by such court.
§14.6 Holders of Notes. Subject to the terms of §18, the Agent may deem and
treat the payee of any Note as the absolute owner or purchaser thereof for all purposes hereof until it shall have been furnished in writing with a different name by such payee or by a subsequent holder, assignee or transferee.
§14.7 Indemnity. The Lenders ratably agree hereby to indemnify and hold harmless
the Agent from and against any and all claims, actions and suits (whether groundless or otherwise), losses, damages, costs, expenses (including any expenses for which the Agent has not been reimbursed by the Borrower as required by §15), and
liabilities of every nature and character arising out of or related to this Agreement, the Notes, or any of the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated or evidenced hereby or thereby, or Agents actions taken hereunder or
thereunder, except to the extent that any of the same shall be directly caused by the Agents willful misconduct or gross negligence as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction after the expiration of all applicable appeal
periods. The agreements in this §14.7 shall survive the payment of all amounts payable under the Loan Documents.
§14.8 Agent as Lender. In its individual capacity, KeyBank shall have the same
obligations and the same rights, powers and privileges in respect to its Commitment and the Loan made by it, and as the holder of any of the Notes as it would have were it not also the Agent.
§14.9 Resignation. The Agent may resign at any time by giving thirty
(30) calendar days prior written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower. The Required Lenders may remove the Agent from its capacity as the Agent in the event of the Agents gross negligence or willful misconduct. Upon any
such resignation, or removal, the Required Lenders, subject to the terms of §18.1, shall have the right to appoint as a successor Agent, (i) any Lender or (ii) any bank whose senior debt obligations are rated not less than
A or its equivalent by Moodys or not less than A or its equivalent by S&P and which has a net worth of not less than $500,000,000. Unless a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, such
successor Agent shall be reasonably acceptable to the Borrower and shall have a minimum Commitment of at least $5,000,000. If no successor Agent shall have been appointed and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after
the retiring Agents giving of notice of resignation or the Required Lenders removal of the Agent, then the retiring or removed Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent, which shall be (i) any Lender or
(ii) any financial institution whose senior debt obligations are rated not less than A2 or its equivalent by Moodys or not less than A or its equivalent by S&P and which has a net worth of not less than
$500,000,000. 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 or removed Agent, and
the retiring or removed Agent, shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder as Agent. After any retiring Agents resignation or removal, the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall continue in effect for
its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Agent. Upon any change in Agent under this Agreement, the resigning or removed Agent shall execute such assignments of and amendments to the Loan
Documents as may be necessary to substitute the successor Agent for the resigning or removed Agent.
§14.10 Duties in the Case of Enforcement. In case one or more Events of Default have occurred and shall
be continuing, and whether or not acceleration of the Obligations shall have occurred, the Agent
48
may and, if (a) so requested by the Required Lenders and (b) the Lenders have provided to the Agent such additional indemnities and assurances in accordance with their respective
Commitment Percentages against expenses and liabilities as the Agent may reasonably request, shall proceed to exercise all or any legal and equitable and other rights or remedies as it may have; provided, however, that unless and until
the Agent shall have received such directions, the 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 to be in the best interests of the
Lenders. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the Agent reasonably determines payment is in the best interest of all Lenders, the Agent may without the approval of the Lenders pay taxes and insurance premiums and spend money for
maintenance, repairs or other expenses which may be necessary to be incurred, and the Agent shall promptly thereafter notify the Lenders of such action. Each Lender shall, within thirty (30) days of request therefor, pay to the Agent its
Commitment Percentage of the reasonable costs incurred by the Agent in taking any such actions hereunder to the extent that such costs shall not be promptly reimbursed to the Agent by the Borrower or out of the Collateral within such period. The
Required Lenders may direct the Agent in writing as to the method and the extent of any such exercise, the Lenders hereby agreeing to indemnify and hold the Agent harmless in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages from all
liabilities incurred in respect of all actions taken or omitted in accordance with such directions, except to the extent that any of the same shall be directly caused by the Agents willful misconduct or gross negligence as finally determined
by a court of competent jurisdiction after the expiration of all applicable appeal periods, provided that the Agent need not comply with any such direction to the extent that the Agent reasonably believes the Agents compliance with such
direction to be unlawful in any applicable jurisdiction or commercially unreasonable under the UCC as enacted in any applicable jurisdiction.
§14.11 Bankruptcy. In the event a bankruptcy or other insolvency proceeding is commenced by or
against the Borrower with respect to the Obligations, the Agent shall have the sole and exclusive right to file and pursue a joint proof claim on behalf of all Lenders. Any votes with respect to such claims or otherwise with respect to such
proceedings shall be subject to the vote of the Required Lenders or all of the Lenders as required by this Agreement. Each Lender irrevocably waives its right to file or pursue a separate proof of claim in any such proceedings unless Agent fails to
file such claim within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice from the Lenders requesting that Agent file such proof of claim.
§14.12 RESERVED.
§14.13 Reliance by the Agent. The Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur
any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine
and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by an Authorized Officer. The Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any
liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such
Lender unless the Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan. The Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected
by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.
§14.14 Approvals. If consent is required for some action under this Agreement, or except as
otherwise provided herein an approval of the Lenders or the Required Lenders is required or permitted under this Agreement, each Lender agrees to give the Agent, within ten (10) days of receipt of the request for action together with all
reasonably requested information related thereto (or such lesser period of time required by the terms of the Loan Documents), notice in writing of approval or disapproval (collectively
49
Directions) in respect of any action requested or proposed in writing pursuant to the terms hereof. To the extent that any Lender does not approve any recommendation of the Agent,
such Lender shall in such notice to the Agent describe the actions that would be acceptable to such Lender. If consent is required for the requested action, any Lenders failure to respond to a request for Directions within the required time
period shall be deemed to constitute a Direction to take such requested action. In the event that any recommendation is not approved by the requisite number of Lenders and a subsequent approval on the same subject matter is requested by the Agent,
then for the purposes of this paragraph each Lender shall be required to respond to a request for Directions within five (5) Business Days of receipt of such request. The Agent and each Lender shall be entitled to assume that any officer of the
other Lenders delivering any notice, consent, certificate or other writing is authorized to give such notice, consent, certificate or other writing unless the Agent and such other Lenders have otherwise been notified in writing.
§14.15 Borrower Not Beneficiary. Except for the provisions of §14.9 relating to the
appointment of a successor Agent, the provisions of this §14 are solely for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders, may not be enforced by the Borrower, and except for the provisions of §14.9, may be modified or waived without the
approval or consent of the Borrower.
§14.16 Defaulting Lenders.
(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if
any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as that Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements:
(i) That Defaulting Lenders right to approve or disapprove any
amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in §27.
(ii) Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Agent
for the account of that Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Agent by that Defaulting Lender pursuant to §13), shall be applied at such time or times as
may be determined by the Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Agent hereunder; second, if so determined by the Agent, to be held as cash collateral for future funding obligations
of that Defaulting Lender of any participation; third, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion
thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Agent; fourth, if so determined by the Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of that Defaulting
Lender to fund Loan under this Agreement; fifth, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists or non-defaulting Lenders have been paid in full all amounts then due, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any
judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lenders breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and sixth, to that Defaulting Lender or as
otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction ; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loan in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (y) such
Loan were made at a time when the conditions set forth in §11 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loan of all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loan of
that Defaulting Lender. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this §14.16(a)(ii) shall be
deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.
(iii) During any period that a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Borrower may, by giving
written notice thereof to the Agent, such Defaulting Lender, and the other Lenders, demand that
50
such Defaulting Lender assign its Commitment to an Eligible Assignee subject to and in accordance with the provisions of §18.1. No party hereto shall have any obligation whatsoever to
initiate any such replacement or to assist in finding an Eligible Assignee. In addition, any Lender who is not a Defaulting Lender may, but shall not be obligated, in its sole discretion, to acquire the face amount of all or a portion of such
Defaulting Lenders Commitment via an assignment subject to and in accordance with the provisions of §18.1. No such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties
to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient with any applicable amounts held pursuant to the immediately preceding subsection (ii), upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be
outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loan previously requested but not
funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Agent, or any Lender hereunder (and
interest accrued thereon). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under any Legal Requirement without compliance with the provisions of this
paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.
(b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower and the Agent agree in writing in
their sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth
therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that the Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Loan of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Agent may determine to be
necessary to cause the Loan to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Commitment Percentages (without giving effect to §14.16(a)(iv)), whereupon that the Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided
that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by
the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to the Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that the Lenders having been a Defaulting Lender.
§14.17 Reliance on Hedge Provider. For purposes of applying payments received in accordance with
§12.5, the Agent shall be entitled to rely upon the trustee, paying agent or other similar representative (each, a Representative) or, in the absence of such a Representative, upon the holder of the Hedge Obligations for a
determination (which each holder of the Hedge Obligations agrees (or shall agree) to provide upon request of the Agent) of the outstanding Hedge Obligations owed to the holder thereof. Unless it has actual knowledge (including by way of written
notice from such holder) to the contrary, the Agent, in acting hereunder, shall be entitled to assume that no Hedge Obligations are outstanding.
§15. EXPENSES. The Borrower agrees to pay (a) the reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred by the
Agent of producing and reproducing this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the other agreements and instruments mentioned herein, (b) any recording, mortgage, documentary or intangibles taxes in connection with the Loan Documents,

herein contemplated, and shall continue in full force and effect so long as any amount due under this Agreement or the Notes or any of the other Loan Documents remains outstanding. The indemnification obligations of the Borrower and the Pledgor
provided herein and in the other Loan Documents shall survive the full repayment of amounts due and the termination of the obligations of the Lenders hereunder and thereunder to the extent provided herein and therein for a period of one year. All

owing to it and the Notes held by it); provided that (a) the Agent and the Issuing Lender shall have each given its prior written consent to such assignment, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, (b) each such
assignment shall be of a constant, and not a varying, percentage of all the assigning Lenders rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Commitment in the event an interest in the Loan is assigned, (c) the parties to
such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Agent, for recording in the Register (as hereinafter defined) an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement in the form of Exhibit H annexed hereto, together with any Notes subject to such assignment,
(d) in no event shall any assignment be to any Person controlling, controlled by or under common control with, or which is not otherwise free from influence or control by, the Borrower or the Pledgor, and (e) such assignee shall acquire an
interest in the Loan of not less than $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (or if less, the remaining Loan of the assignor), unless waived by the Agent, and so long as no Default or Event of Default exists hereunder, the
Borrower. Upon execution, delivery, acceptance and recording of such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, (i) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and all other Loan Documents executed by the Lenders and, to the extent provided in
such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder, (ii) the assigning the Lender shall, upon payment to the Agent of the registration fee referred to in §18.2, be released from its obligations
under this Agreement arising after the effective date of such assignment with respect to the assigned portion of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement, and (iii) the Agent may unilaterally amend Schedule 1.1 to
reflect such assignment. In connection with each assignment, the assignee shall represent and warrant to the Agent, the assignor and each other Lender as to whether such assignee is controlling, controlled by, under common control with or is not
otherwise free from influence or control by, the Borrower and the Pledgor.
§18.2
Register. The Agent shall maintain on behalf of the Borrower a copy of each assignment delivered to it and a register or similar list (the Register) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the
Lenders and the Commitment Percentages of and principal amount of and interest on the Loan owing to the Lenders from time to time. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and the Borrower, the Agent and the
Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and the Lenders at any reasonable
time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Upon each such recordation, the assigning Lender agrees to pay to the Agent a registration fee in the sum of $3,500.
§18.3 New Notes. Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement
executed by the parties to such assignment, together with each Note subject to such assignment, the Agent shall record
53
the information contained therein in the Register. Within five (5) Business Days after receipt of notice of such assignment from the Agent, the Borrower, at its own expense, shall execute
and deliver to the Agent, in exchange for each surrendered Note, a new Note (if requested by the subject Lender) to the order of such assignee in an amount equal to the amount assigned to such assignee pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance
Agreement and, if the assigning Lender has retained some portion of its obligations hereunder, a new Note to the order of the assigning Lender in an amount equal to the amount retained by it hereunder. Such new Notes shall provide that they are
replacements for the surrendered Notes, shall be in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the surrendered Notes, shall be dated the effective date of such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement and shall otherwise be
in substantially the form of the assigned Notes. The surrendered Notes shall be canceled and returned to the Borrower.
§18.4 Participations. Each Lender may sell participations to one or more Lenders
or other entities in all or a portion of such Lenders rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided that (a) any such sale or participation shall not affect the rights and duties of the selling
Lender hereunder, (b) such participation shall not entitle such participant to any rights or privileges under this Agreement or any Loan Documents, including without limitation, rights granted to the Lenders under §4.8, §4.9 and
§4.10, (c) such participation shall not entitle the participant to the right to approve waivers, amendments or modifications, (d) such participant shall have no direct rights against the Borrower, (e) such participant shall be
entitled to the benefits of §4.4(b) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to §18.1, but shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under §4.4(b) than the applicable
Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, (f) such sale is effected in accordance with all applicable laws, (g) such participant shall not be a Person controlling, controlled by
or under common control with, or which is not otherwise free from influence or control by any of the Borrower, and (h) unless an Event of Default is in existence, such participant is not a Competitor; provided, however, such
Lender may agree with the participant that it will not, without the consent of the participant, agree to (i) increase, or extend the term or extend the time or waive any requirement for the reduction or termination of, such Lenders
Commitment, (ii) extend the date fixed for the payment of principal of or interest on the Loan or portions thereof owing to such Lender (other than pursuant to an extension of the Maturity Date pursuant to §2.13), (iii) reduce the
amount of any such payment of principal, (iv) reduce the rate at which interest is payable thereon or (v) release the Borrower (except as otherwise permitted under §5.2). Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for
this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participants interest in the Loan or other
obligations under the Loan Documents (the Participant Register); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information
relating to a Participants interest in any commitments, loans, or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, or other obligation
is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the
Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, Agent (in its capacity as Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a
Participant Register.
§18.5 Pledge by Lender. Any Lender may at any time
pledge all or any portion of its interest and rights under this Agreement (including all or any portion of its Note) to any of the twelve Federal Reserve Banks organized under §4 of the Federal Reserve Act, 12 U.S.C. §341 or any other
central banking authority, or to such other Person as the Agent elects and so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower may approve the identity of such other Person. No such pledge or the enforcement
thereof shall release the pledgor Lender from its obligations hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents.
54
§18.6 No Assignment by the Borrower.
The Borrower shall not assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of each of the Lenders.
§18.7 Disclosure. The Borrower agrees to promptly and reasonably cooperate with
any Lender in connection with any proposed assignment or participation of all or any portion of its Commitment. The Borrower agrees that, in addition to disclosures made in accordance with standard banking practices, any Lender may disclose
information obtained by such Lender pursuant to this Agreement to assignees or participants and potential assignees or participants hereunder, but in all events subject to the terms hereof. Each Lender agrees for itself that it shall use reasonable
efforts in accordance with its customary procedures to hold confidential all non-public information obtained from the Borrower that has been identified in writing as confidential by any of them, and shall use reasonable efforts in accordance with
its customary procedures to not disclose such information to any other Person, it being understood and agreed that, notwithstanding the foregoing, a Lender may make (a) disclosures to its participants (provided such Persons are advised of the
provisions of this §18.7, and agree to destroy or return all confidential information if it does not become an assignee or participant), (b) disclosures to its directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, accountants, appraisers, legal
counsel and other professional advisors of such Lender (provided that such Persons who are not employees of such Lender are advised of the provision of this §18.7), (c), disclosures customarily provided or reasonably required by any potential
or actual bona fide assignee, transferee or participant or their respective directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, accountants, appraisers, legal counsel and other professional advisors in connection with a potential or actual assignment or
transfer by such Lender of any Loan or any participations therein (provided such Persons are advised of the provisions of this §18.7), (d) disclosures to bank regulatory authorities or self-regulatory bodies with jurisdiction over such
Lender, or (e) disclosures required or requested by any other governmental authority or representative thereof or pursuant to legal process; provided that, unless specifically prohibited by applicable law or court order, each Lender shall
notify the Borrower of any request by any governmental authority or representative thereof prior to disclosure (other than any such request in connection with any examination of such Lender by such government authority) for disclosure of any such
non-public information prior to disclosure of such information and provide (if permitted under applicable Legal Requirements) the Borrower a reasonable opportunity to challenge the disclosure or require that such disclosure be made under seal. In
addition, each Lender may make disclosure of such information to any contractual counterparty in swap agreements or such contractual counterpartys professional advisors (so long as such contractual counterparty or professional advisors agree
to be bound by the provisions of this §18.7). Non-public information shall not include any information which is or subsequently becomes publicly available other than as a result of a disclosure of such information by a Lender, or prior to the
delivery to such Lender is within the possession of such Lender if such information is not known by such Lender to be subject to another confidentiality agreement with or other obligations of secrecy to the Borrower, or is disclosed with the prior
approval of the Borrower. Nothing herein shall prohibit the disclosure of non-public information to the extent necessary to enforce the Loan Documents.
§18.8 Titled Agents. The Titled Agents shall not have any additional rights or
obligations under the Loan Documents, except for those rights, if any, as a Lender.
§18.9
Amendments to Loan Documents. Upon any such assignment or participation, the Borrower shall, upon the request of the Agent, enter into such documents as may be reasonably required by the Agent to modify the Loan Documents to
reflect such assignment or participation.
§19. NOTICES. Each notice, demand, election or request
provided for or permitted to be given pursuant to this Agreement (hereinafter in this §19 referred to as Notice) must be in writing and shall be deemed to have been properly given or served by personal delivery or by telegraph or by

(3) Business Days following such deposit or the date of receipt as disclosed on the return receipt. Rejection or other refusal to accept or the inability to deliver because of changed address for which no notice was given shall be deemed to be
receipt of the Notice sent. By giving at least fifteen (15) days prior Notice thereof, the Borrower, a Lender or the Agent shall have the right from time to time and at any time during the term of this Agreement to change their respective
addresses and each shall have the right to specify as its address any other address within the United States of America or Canada.

duty to the Borrower or its Subsidiaries arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereunder and thereunder, and the relationship between each Lender and the Agent, and the

written consent of the Required Lenders and, with respect to any amendment of any term of this Agreement or of any other instrument related hereto or mentioned herein, the Borrower or the other Credit Parties, as the case may be. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, none of the following may occur without the written consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby: (a) a reduction in the rate of interest on the Notes (other than a reduction or waiver of default interest); (b) an increase

omission on the part of the Agent or any Lender in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise be prejudicial thereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or
disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder (and any amendment, waiver or consent which by its terms requires the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender may be effected with the consent of the applicable Lenders other than
Defaulting Lenders), except that (x) the Commitment of any Defaulting Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender and (y) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each
affected Lender that by its terms affects any Defaulting Lender more adversely than other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.

interdict, condition, reduce or inhibit the ability of the Lenders or the Agent to enforce any rights it has by virtue of this Agreement, the Loan Documents, or at law or in equity, or any other rights the Lenders or the Agent have, whether now or
hereafter acquired, against the Borrower or the Pledgor or against any property owned by the Borrower or the Pledgor.

ARTICLE II
GENERAL TERMS
2.1 Loan Commitment; Disbursement to Borrower.
(a) Agreement to Lend and Borrow. Subject to and upon the terms and
conditions set forth herein, Lender hereby agrees to make and Borrower hereby agrees to borrow the Loan.
(b) Disbursement of Loan to Borrower. Borrower may request and receive
only one borrowing hereunder in respect of the Loan.
(c) Use of
Proceeds. Borrower shall use the proceeds of the Loan as set forth on Closing Statement.
(d) No Reborrowing of Amounts Repaid. Any amount borrowed and repaid in
respect of the Loan may not be reborrowed.
(e) The Note, this
Agreement, the Mortgage and Loan Documents. The Loan shall be evidenced by the Note and this Agreement and secured by the Mortgage, the Assignment of Leases and the other Loan Documents.
2.2 Interest Rate.
(a) Interest Generally. Interest on the outstanding principal balance
of the Loan shall accrue from the Closing Date to the Maturity Date at the Interest Rate. Borrower shall pay to Lender on each Payment Date the interest accrued on the Loan for the preceding Interest Accrual Period.
(b) Interest Calculation. Interest on the outstanding principal balance
of the Loan shall be calculated by multiplying (a) the actual number of days elapsed in the period for which the calculation is being made by (b) a daily rate based on a three hundred sixty (360) day year by (c) the outstanding
principal balance of the Loan.
(c) Default Rate. During the
existence of an Event of Default, Borrower shall pay interest on the entire unpaid principal sum and any other amounts due under the Loan Documents at the Default Rate. The Default Rate shall be computed from the occurrence of an Event of Default
until the cure of all Event(s) of Default then continuing. Amounts of interest accrued at the Default Rate shall constitute a portion of the Debt, and shall be deemed secured by the Loan Documents. This clause, however, shall not be construed as an
agreement or privilege to extend the date of the payment of the Debt, nor as a waiver of any other right or remedy accruing to Lender by reason of the occurrence of any Event of Default.
(d) Usury Savings. This Agreement, the Note and the other Loan
Documents are subject to the express condition that at no time shall Borrower be obligated or required to pay interest on the principal balance of the Loan at a rate which could subject Lender to either civil or criminal liability as a result of
being in excess of the maximum interest rate which Borrower is permitted by applicable law to contract or agree to pay (the Maximum Legal Rate). If, by the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Borrower is at any
time required or obligated to pay interest on the principal balance due hereunder at a rate in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate, the Interest Rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to the Maximum
Legal Rate and all previous payments in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of principal and not on account of the interest due hereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender
20
for the use, forbearance, or detention of the sums due under the Loan, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated
term of the Loan until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Loan does not exceed the Maximum Legal Rate of interest from time to time in effect and applicable to the Loan for so long as the Loan is outstanding.
2.3 Loan Payment.
(a) Payments Generally. If any payment hereunder or under any
Loan Document becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be payable on the next Business Day (but the passing of any grace period shall be measured from the original date on which such payment was due and
payable). All amounts due pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be payable without setoff, counterclaim, defense or any other deduction whatsoever.
(b) Principal and Interest Payments. Payments of principal and
interest under the Loan, calculated in accordance with the terms hereof, shall be due and payable (without notice or demand) as follows:
(i) interest only at the Interest Rate in effect for the First
Interest Accrual Period shall be due and payable concurrently with the making of the advance of the principal balance of the Loan, as shown on the Closing Statement;
(ii) for each Interest Accrual Period following the First Interest
Accrual Period, Borrower shall pay to Lender the Monthly Payment Amount on the related Payment Date, to be applied as set forth in Section 2.3(e) of this Agreement; and
(iii) the entire outstanding principal amount of the Loan, together with
all accrued and unpaid interest and any other charges due thereon and all other sums due and payable pursuant to this Agreement and/or the other Loan Documents, shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date.
Payments made by Borrower under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of, and without reduction for or on account of, any present or
future income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority, excluding income and franchise taxes of the
United States of America or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (such non-excluded taxes being called Additional Taxes). If any Additional Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to
Lender hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, the amounts so payable to Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to Lender (after payment of all Additional Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at
the rates or in the amounts specified in this Agreement.
(c) Late Payment Charge. If any Monthly Payment Amount or any
other sums due under the Loan Documents (excluding only the outstanding principal due on the Maturity Date) is not paid by Borrower by the date on which it is due (after giving effect to any applicable notice, cure and/or grace period set forth in
Section 5.1(a) below), Borrower shall pay to Lender upon demand an amount equal to the lesser of five percent (5%) of such unpaid sum or the maximum amount permitted by applicable law (the Late Payment Charge) in
order to defray the expense incurred by Lender in handling and processing such delinquent payment and to compensate Lender for the loss of the use of such delinquent payment. Any such amount shall be secured by the Mortgage and the other Loan
Documents to the extent permitted by applicable law.
21
(d) Method and Place of
Payment. Payments shall be paid by Borrower, without set-off or counterclaim, by wire transfer to Lender at 425 Lexington Avenue, Attention: Agency Services, New York, New York 10017, or to such other location or account as Lender may specify to
Borrower from time to time, in federal or other immediately available funds in lawful money of the United States of America, not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date due. If the date for any payments of principal is extended on
account of the foregoing or on account of operation of law or otherwise, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension.
(e) Application of Payments.
(i) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default, all
proceeds of any repayment, including prepayments, of the Loan (a Payment) shall be applied to pay: (1) first, any costs and expenses of Lender (and any Servicer) required to be reimbursed under the terms of the Loan
Documents; (2) second, to any Late Payment Charges and accrued and unpaid interest payable at the Default Rate; (3) third, accrued and unpaid interest payable at the Interest Rate; (4) fourth, any other amounts then due and owing
under the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, payments to any Reserve required hereunder); and (5) fifth, to the outstanding principal amount of the Loan. After the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, all
proceeds of repayment, including any payment or recovery on the Collateral, shall be applied in such order and in such manner as Lender shall elect in Lenders sole and absolute discretion.
(ii) To the extent that Borrower makes a Payment or Lender receives
any Payment or proceeds for Borrowers benefit, which are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, debtor in possession, receiver, custodian or any other party under
any bankruptcy law, common law or equitable cause, then, to such extent, the obligations of Borrower hereunder intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continue as if such Payment or proceeds had not been received by Lender.
2.4 Prepayment Restrictions.
(a) Restriction on Prepayment. The principal balance of the Loan
may not be prepaid in whole or in part (except with respect to the application of casualty or condemnation proceeds, as to which the provisions of Section 2.4(e) shall apply) prior to the Lockout Release Date. From and after the Lockout
Release Date, the Loan may be prepaid in whole only, and not in part, in accordance with Section 2.4(c) of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default is continuing at the time of prepayment of the Loan, then
the provisions of Section 2.4(d) of this Agreement shall apply.
(b) Restriction on Defeasance. Borrower may effect a Defeasance
only as set forth in Section 2.5 below.
(c) Conditions for Prepayment. On the Lockout Release Date, or at
any time thereafter, provided no Event of Default exists, the principal balance of the Loan may be prepaid, in whole but not in part (except with respect to the application of casualty or condemnation proceeds), on any Payment Date upon not less
than thirty (30) days nor more than ninety (90) days prior written notice to Lender specifying the Payment Date on which prepayment is to be made (the Prepayment Date), provided that such prepayment is accompanied
by payment of (i) any costs and expenses of Lender required to be reimbursed under the terms of the Loan Documents, (ii) interest accrued and unpaid on the principal balance of the Loan to and including the Prepayment Date, and
(iii) all other sums then due under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. If any such notice of prepayment is given, the principal balance of the Loan that is the subject of such notice of prepayment and the other sums required under
this paragraph shall be due and payable on the Prepayment Date.
22
(d) Prepayment During
the Continuation of an Event of Default. If prepayment of the Loan, in whole or in part, occurs at any time when an Event of Default shall be continuing (irrespective of whether foreclosure proceedings have been commenced) prior to the Lockout
Release Date, then in addition to the payment of the amounts specified in clauses (i) through (iii) of Section 2.4(c) above, Borrower shall also pay to Lender a prepayment fee equal to the greater of (1) the Yield
Maintenance Amount, and (2) an amount equal to two percent (2%) of the principal amount of the Loan prepaid.
(e) Prepayment from Casualty or Condemnation Proceeds.
Prepayments of principal (whether full or partial) resulting from the application of casualty or condemnation proceeds to the Debt (whether such application is required by Lender or requested by Borrower) shall be applied to the payments of
principal due under the Loan in inverse order of maturity. Any such repayment shall not change the amounts of subsequent monthly installments of principal (if any are required hereunder) nor change the dates on which such installments are due,
unless Lender shall otherwise agree in writing. In addition, except as hereinafter provided in this subparagraph (e), prepayments of principal (whether full or partial) resulting from the application of casualty or condemnation proceeds to the Debt
under this subparagraph (e) shall be made without the imposition of the Yield Maintenance Amount or any other premium or penalty, provided, however, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of the related
casualty or condemnation, in addition to applying such proceeds as provided in this Agreement, Borrower shall pay the Yield Maintenance Amount to Lender. Lender, at its option, may elect to use such proceeds and Yield Maintenance Amount (if any) to
defease an amount of the Loan equal to the proceeds applied as a prepayment, in the manner provided in Section 2.5 below.
2.5 Defeasance. At any time during the Defeasance Period, Borrower
may obtain a release of the Property from the lien of the Mortgage and other Loan Documents upon the satisfaction of the following conditions:
(a) Not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice shall
be given to Lender specifying a date (the Defeasance Date) on which the Defeasance Deposit is to be delivered;
(b) All accrued and unpaid interest on the Loan and all other sums due
hereunder and under the other Loan Documents up to the Defeasance Date, including, without limitation, all amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.5(f) hereof, shall be paid in full on or prior to the Defeasance Date;
(c) No Event of Default, shall be continuing either at the time Borrower
gives notice of the Defeasance Date to Lender or on the Defeasance Date;
(d) On or before the Defeasance Date, Borrower shall deliver (or cause
to be delivered) to Lender each of the following:
(i) the
Defeasance Deposit, together with the amount required by Section 2.5(f) hereof;
(ii) the Defeasance Security Agreement, duly executed by Borrower,
together with an endorsement of the Defeasance Collateral by the holder thereof as directed by Lender (or a written instrument of transfer in form and substance wholly satisfactory to Lender (including, without limitation, such instruments as may be
required by the depository institution holding such securities to effectuate book-entry transfers and pledges through the book-entry facilities of such institution)) sufficient so as to create a first priority security interest therein in favor of
Lender in conformity with any applicable state and federal laws governing granting of such security interests;
23
(iii) an opinion
of counsel for Borrower, in form and substance (and delivered by counsel) satisfactory to Lender in its sole discretion stating, among other things, (w) that Lender has a perfected first priority security interest in the Defeasance Deposit and
the Defeasance Collateral, (x) that the Defeasance Security Agreement is enforceable against Borrower in accordance with its terms, (y) that the Defeasance will not (1) cause the Trust to fail to qualify as a REMIC within the meaning
of Section 860D of the Code as a result of such Defeasance, (2) constitute a significant modification of the Loan within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1001-3(b) or cause the Loan to fail to be a
qualified mortgage within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3)(A) of the Code, (3) result in a deemed exchange for purposes of the Code and will not adversely affect the status of the Note as indebtedness for federal income tax
purposes, and (4) constitute an avoidable preference under Section 547 of the Bankruptcy Code, or similar provisions of any applicable state law, and (z) if a Non-Consolidation Opinion was delivered in connection with the closing of
the Loan, setting forth such comparable opinions as to Successor Borrower as Lender shall reasonably require (or as shall be required to satisfy the Securitization Documents);
(iv) a Rating Confirmation from each of the applicable Rating
Agencies for any securities issued in connection with a Secondary Market Transaction;
(v) a certificate in form and substance acceptable to
Lender, from a nationally-recognized firm of independent certified public accountants acceptable to Lender and satisfying the requirements of the Securitization Documents, certifying that the Defeasance Collateral is sufficient to generate monthly
amounts equal to or greater than the payments due on all successive Payment Dates occurring after the Defeasance Date through and including the Maturity Date, with each such payment being equal to or greater than (1) the Monthly Payment Amount
due on such Payment Date, and (2) with respect to the payment due on the Maturity Date, the entire outstanding principal balance of the Loan together with any interest accrued as of such date and all other amounts payable pursuant to the Loan
Documents on such date;
(vi) if required to comply with
the requirements of any Securitization Documents, a certification of Borrower and Guarantor that the purpose of the defeasance is to facilitate the disposition of the Property, the refinancing of the Property or any other customary commercial
transaction, and is not part of an arrangement to collateralize a REMIC offering with obligations that are not real estate mortgages; and
(vii) such other certificates, opinions, documents or instruments as
Lender may reasonably require to satisfy any conditions of the Securitization Documents.
(e) As part of the Defeasance, Borrower shall assign all its obligations
and rights in, to and under the Note, the Defeasance Collateral and the Defeasance Security Agreement to a successor entity acceptable to Lender (Successor Borrower). In connection therewith, the Successor Borrower shall execute
an assumption agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Lender in its sole discretion pursuant to which it shall assume Borrowers obligations under the Note and the Defeasance Security Agreement and accept an assignment of the Defeasance
Collateral. In connection with such assignment and assumption, Borrower and/or Successor Borrower shall deliver to Lender an opinion of counsel in form and substance and delivered by counsel satisfactory to Lender in its sole discretion stating,
among other things, that such assumption agreement is enforceable against Borrower and Successor Borrower, as applicable, in accordance with its terms and that the Note, the Defeasance Security Agreement and any other documents executed in
connection with such defeasance are enforceable against Borrower or Successor Borrower, as applicable, in accordance with their respective terms.
24
(f) Borrower shall pay,
simultaneously with the Defeasance of the Loan as aforesaid, all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Lender and Successor Borrower and their respective agents and servicers in satisfying the foregoing conditions and of the transactions
contemplated by this Section 2.5, including, without limitation, the reasonable and customary brokerage or other transaction fees in purchasing the Defeasance Collateral, any reasonable legal fees and expenses incurred in connection with
obtaining and reviewing the Defeasance Collateral and the preparation of the Defeasance Security Agreement and related documentation and confirming the satisfaction of the other conditions to the Defeasance, and the cost of any Rating Confirmation.
(g) Upon compliance with all of the foregoing requirements of this
Section 2.5, (i) Borrower and Guarantor shall be relieved of their respective obligations under the Note and the Defeasance Security Agreement and the other Loan Documents (except to the extent such obligations survive any repayment
or defeasance of the Loan), and (ii) the Property shall be released from the lien of the Mortgage and of the other Loan Documents, and (iii) the Defeasance Collateral shall constitute the only collateral which shall secure the Note. Lender
will, at Borrowers expense, execute and deliver any agreements reasonably requested by Borrower to release the Property from such liens.
(h) The entity initially named herein as Lender shall have the
sole right to (i) establish or designate the Successor Borrower and (ii) purchase or cause the purchase of the Defeasance Collateral with the Defeasance Deposit, which rights (collectively, the Defeasance Rights) may be
exercised in Lenders sole discretion and shall be retained by such entity initially named herein as Lender notwithstanding any transfer or securitization of the Loan unless such Defeasance Rights are expressly conveyed together
therewith; the Defeasance Rights may be conveyed separately from the Loan.
ARTICLE III
CASH MANAGEMENT
3.1 Clearing Account; Deposit of Rents and Profits; Withdrawals from
Clearing Account.
(a) Borrower confirms that upon the commencement of
a Cash Management Period and at all times thereafter, Borrower shall establish, and Borrower covenants that it shall maintain, pursuant to the Clearing Bank Agreement, an Eligible Account at the Clearing Bank (the Clearing
Account). Borrower irrevocably agrees that, upon the first occurrence of a Cash Management Period, Lender may direct the Clearing Bank to open the Clearing Account in accordance with the Clearing Bank Agreement. The Clearing Account shall
be in the name of the Borrower for the benefit of the Lender, provided that Borrower shall be the owner of all funds on deposit in such accounts for federal and applicable state and local tax purposes and the Clearing Account shall be assigned the
tax identification number of Borrower. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that, so long as any portion of the Debt remains outstanding, neither Borrower, Property Manager nor any other Person acting on behalf of, or claiming through, Borrower or
Property Manager, shall have any right or authority to change the identity, name, location, account number, bank location or other feature or attribute of the Clearing Account without the prior written consent of Lender, which consent may be
withheld by Lender in its sole and absolute discretion. In the event that Clearing Bank requires a modification to the Clearing Bank Agreement, such modification shall only be made following Lenders written consent (which may be granted or
withheld in Lenders sole and absolute discretion) and if Lender refuses to agree to the requested change, then Borrower shall establish a new Clearing Account at an Eligible Bank (and such Eligible Bank shall enter into a new Clearing Bank
Agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Lender). In addition, at the
25
election of Lender, exercised from time to time (i) after the occurrence and during the existence of an Event of Default, (ii) at any time Lender reasonably believes that the Clearing
Bank is not adequately performing its duties under the Clearing Bank Agreement, (iii) at any time after the credit rating of the Clearing Bank falls below the requirements of an Eligible Bank (unless Lender has waived the Eligible Bank
requirements) or (iv) at any time after Lender has waived the Eligible Bank requirements for the Clearing Bank, but Lender has elected, in its sole and absolute discretion, to require that the Clearing Account be located at an Eligible Bank,
Borrower will establish a new Clearing Account at an Eligible Bank (and such Eligible Bank shall enter into a new Clearing Bank Agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Lender). Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Lender as its
attorney-in-fact (coupled with an interest) to execute a modification of the Clearing Bank Agreement approved by Lender or establish a new Clearing Account at an Eligible Bank upon Lenders exercise of its rights under the preceding sentence,
upon Borrowers failure to do so within ten (10) days following Lenders written demand.
(b) The Clearing Account shall be under the sole and exclusive dominion
and control of the Lender and neither Borrower, nor Property Manager, nor any other party claiming on behalf of, or through, Borrower or Property Manager, shall have any right to transfer, withdraw, access or otherwise direct the disposition of
funds on deposit or deposited into the Clearing Account or have any other right or power with respect to the Clearing Account; provided, however, that Borrower or Property Manager or their designee shall have the right, if available
through the Clearing Bank, to access information regarding balances, deposits into and withdrawals from the Clearing Account, so long as such information access right does not permit Borrower or Property Manager or any party other than Lender or
Servicer to transfer, withdraw, access or otherwise direct the disposition of funds on deposit in the Clearing Account.
(c) Borrower agrees to timely pay the customary fees and expenses of
Clearing Bank in connection with the Clearing Account and any Lockbox Address, as such fees and expenses are established from time to time. In the event that Clearing Bank seeks reimbursement of any item deposited into the Clearing Account but
returned or disallowed or reimbursement of any other monetary sum pursuant to the Clearing Bank Agreement, Borrower shall promptly and timely pay such sum. In the event Clearing Bank seeks reimbursement of sums from Lender pursuant to the Clearing
Bank Agreement, Borrower shall, upon demand by Lender, pay Clearing Bank such sums. Failure of Borrower to pay any sum due and payable (by Borrower or Lender) to the Clearing Bank in connection with the Clearing Account within five (5) days
after written demand by Lender shall constitute an Event of Default under this Agreement.
(d) The following provisions shall apply:
(i) Upon the occurrence of a Cash Management Period and upon
written demand by Lender, Borrower shall establish with Clearing Bank a lock box address at the Clearing Bank (the Lockbox Address).
(ii) Upon the commencement of a Cash Management Period and upon
written demand by Lender and until the Debt is repaid in full, Borrower shall, or shall cause Property Manager to, notify and advise each Tenant under each Lease (whether such Lease is presently effective or executed after the date hereof) pursuant
to an instruction letter in the form of Exhibit E attached hereto (a Tenant Direction Letter) to send directly to the Lockbox Address (or to the Clearing Account via ACH transfer or wire transfer) all sums due and payable by such
Tenant under its Lease as and when due and payable under its Lease. At or prior to the Closing Date, Borrower shall deliver to Lender partially-completed original Tenant Direction Letters addressed to all Tenants listed on the Rent Roll attached
hereto as Exhibit B. Borrower hereby grants to Lender a power of attorney (which power of attorney shall be coupled with an interest and irrevocable so long as any portion of the Debt remains outstanding) to sign and
26
deliver to any Tenant, (i) upon the occurrence of a Cash Management Period, or (ii) upon failure of Borrower to do so within five (5) days following written demand from Lender,
such partially-completed or completed Tenant Direction Letters, as applicable.
(iii) During any Cash Management Period and until the Debt is
repaid in full, Borrower shall, or shall cause Property Manager to, instruct all Persons that maintain open accounts with Borrower or Property Manager with respect to the Property or with whom Borrower or Property Manager does business on an
accounts receivable basis with respect to the Property (any such Person, an Accounts Receivable Payor), to deliver all payments due under such accounts directly to the Lockbox Address (or to the Clearing Account via
ACH transfer or wire transfer) (such an instruction by Borrower, an Accounts Receivable Instruction). Neither Borrower nor Property Manager shall direct any such Person to make payments due under such accounts in any other manner.
(iv) Intentionally omitted.
(v) If Lender requires Borrower to deliver any Direction
Letters or Accounts Receivable Instructions, then if notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower or Property Manager should receive any Rents and Profits, the recipient of such Rents and Profits shall deposit same with the Clearing Bank within one
(1) Business Day after receipt.
(vi) Without the
prior written consent of Lender, so long as any portion of the Debt remains outstanding, neither Borrower nor Property Manager shall terminate, amend, revoke or modify any Direction Letter or any Accounts Receivable Instruction in any manner
whatsoever or direct or cause any Tenant or any Accounts Receivable Payor to pay any amount in any manner other than as provided in the related Direction Letter or Accounts Receivable Instruction.
(vii) So long as any portion of the Debt remains outstanding,
neither Borrower, Property Manager nor any other Person shall open or maintain any accounts into which Rents and Profits are deposited other than the Clearing Account. The foregoing shall not prohibit Borrower or Property Manager from utilizing one
or more separate accounts for the disbursement or retention of funds that have been transferred to Borrower or the Property Manager pursuant to the express terms of this Agreement.
(e) Absent the existence of a Cash Management Period, on each Business
Day on which available funds are on deposit in the Clearing Account, Clearing Bank shall transfer all such available funds to an operating account established, maintained by and under the exclusive dominion and control of Borrower (the
Operating Account). Commencing with a Cash Management Commencement Date and continuing during the existence of a Cash Management Period, without limiting the foregoing provisions, all transfers from the Clearing Account to the
Operating Account shall immediately cease and Lender shall have the right, at its sole option, to instruct the Clearing Bank, from time to time, to administer available sums on deposit in or deposited into the Clearing Account in the manner set
forth in Section 3.3 below or to transfer available sums on deposit in the Clearing Account, from time to time, to a Cash Management Account (as defined below). The initial Operating Account is set forth in the Clearing Bank Agreement.
3.2 Cash Management Account; Processing of Rents and Profits.
(a) At Lenders option, Lender may establish an Eligible Account (the Cash Management Account)
at an Eligible Bank (the Cash Management Bank) selected by Lender in its sole discretion. The Cash Management Account shall be in the name of the Borrower for the benefit of
27
the Lender, provided that Borrower shall be the owner of all funds on deposit in such accounts for federal and applicable state and local tax purposes and the Cash Management Account shall be
assigned the tax identification number of Borrower.
(b) The Cash
Management Account shall be under the sole and exclusive dominion and control of the Lender and neither Borrower, Property Manager nor any other party claiming on behalf of, or through, Borrower or Property Manager, shall have any right to transfer,
withdraw, access or otherwise direct the disposition of funds on deposit in the Cash Management Account or have any other right or power with respect to the Cash Management Account.
(c) Borrower agrees to timely pay the customary fees and expenses of
Cash Management Bank in connection with the Cash Management Account, as such fees and expenses are established from time to time. Failure of Borrower to pay any sum due and payable (by Borrower or Lender) to the Cash Management Bank in connection
with the Cash Management Account within five (5) days after written demand by Lender shall constitute an Event of Default under this Agreement.
(d) At Lenders option, the Cash Management Bank (or, if the Lender
elects to utilize the Clearing Account as the Cash Management Account, the Clearing Bank (which shall in such context also be referred to herein as the Cash Management Bank)) shall transfer sums on deposit in the Cash Management Account to any
number of subaccounts (collectively, the Subaccounts) which subaccounts shall be maintained on a ledger-entry basis and which Subaccounts may include, without limitation, one or more of the Impound Account and the Reserves.
(e) Upon a Cash Management Commencement Date and during the existence of
a Cash Management Period, Lender or Servicer shall (so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) direct the Cash Management Bank to allocate and disburse amounts on deposit in and deposited into the Cash Management Account in
accordance with the provisions of Section 3.3 below (the Disbursement Instructions); provided, however, that if no Disbursement Instructions are received by the Cash Management Bank with respect to a
monthly period, the Cash Management Bank may allocate and disburse amounts in the Cash Management Account pursuant to the most recent Disbursement Instructions received from Lender or Servicer prior thereto.
3.3 Application and Disbursement of Funds.
(a) During any Cash Management Period, except as set forth is
Section 3.3(c) hereof, on each Payment Date Lender shall disburse and/or allocate to Subaccounts, as applicable, amounts deposited into the Cash Management Account in the following order of priority:
(i) First, payments to the Impound Account in accordance with
the terms and conditions of Section 4.6 hereof;
(ii) Next,
to the payment of all amounts due under the Note on such Payment Date (including, without limitation, interest and, if applicable, principal) (which, following an Event of Default shall include, without limitation, interest at the Default Rate);
(iii) Next, payments of any other amounts due under the Loan
Documents not otherwise addressed by this Section 3.3 (a) (including, without limitation, payments to any Reserves not otherwise addressed by this Section 3.3(a));
(iv) Next, payments to the Replacement Reserve, in accordance with the
terms and conditions of Section 4.28 hereof;

acceptable to Lender;
(vii) Next, payments for monthly Cash Expenses
payable to Affiliates of Borrower, incurred in accordance with the terms and conditions of the related Approved Annual Budget pursuant to a written request for payment submitted by Borrower to Lender specifying the individual Cash Expenses in a form
acceptable to Lender;
(viii) Next, payment for monthly Net Capital
Expenditures, incurred in accordance with the terms and conditions of the related Approved Annual Budget pursuant to a written request for payment submitted by Borrower to Lender specifying the individual Net Capital Expenditures in a form

Healthcare Trigger Period, to the United Healthcare Cash Collateral Reserve to be held and disbursed in accordance with Section 4.28(g); or
(B) During a Cash Management Period continuing due to a Parsons
Trigger Period, to the Parsons Cash Collateral Reserve to be held and disbursed in accordance with Section 4.28(i); or

Trigger Period is continuing, to the Cash Collateral Reserve to be held or disbursed in accordance with Section 4.28(h).
(D) In the event that a United Healthcare Trigger Period and a
Parsons Trigger Period exist simultaneously, then Lender shall, in its reasonable discretion, allocate funds under clause (x) to such Reserves and Leases as Lender determines.
(b) During any Cash Management Period, in the event that the Borrower
must incur an Extraordinary Expense, then Borrower shall promptly deliver to Lender a reasonably detailed explanation of such proposed Extraordinary Expense for the Lenders prior written approval.
(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or of the
other Loan Documents, during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender reserves the right, exercisable at its sole option, to (x) take such enforcement actions (including, but not limited to, acceleration and foreclosure of the Property)
as it deems appropriate under the Loan Documents or otherwise under law or in equity and/or (y) apply Rents and Profits and other sums on deposit in or deposited into the Clearing Account, the Cash Management Account, the Impound Account, the
Reserves and any other sums deposited by Borrower with Lender to the payment of the Debt, in such order, manner, amounts and times as Lender in its sole discretion determines, and such reserved rights shall be in addition to all other rights and
remedies provided to Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
(d) Nothing in this Section 3.3 shall limit, reduce or otherwise
affect Borrowers obligations to make payments of the Monthly Payment Amount and, if applicable, payments to the Impound Account and/or any other Reserves, due under this Agreement and under the other Loan Documents, whether or not Rents and
Profits are available to make such payments.

3.4 Security Interest.
Borrower acknowledges and agrees that it has granted to Lender a first-priority security interest in the Clearing Account and Cash Management Account and the sums on deposit therein, among other things, pursuant to this Agreement. Borrower
acknowledges and agrees that, without limitation of any other provisions of this Agreement, the Mortgage or the other Loan Documents, upon the occurrence and during the existence of an Event of Default, Lender may use the Clearing Account, the Cash
Management Account and/or any sums on deposit in either of them for any or all of the following purposes: (i) repayment of the Debt, including, but not limited to, interest, principal and any prepayment premium or fee applicable to any such
full or partial prepayment, (ii) reimbursement of Lender for all losses, fees, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees and disbursements) suffered or incurred by Lender as a result of such Event of Default,
(iii) payment of any amount expended in exercising any or all rights and remedies available to Lender at law or in equity or under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, (iv) payment of any item as required or permitted by this
Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or (v) any other purpose permitted by applicable law, provided, however, that any such application of funds shall not cure or be deemed to cure any Event of Default. Without limiting any other
provisions hereof, each of the remedial actions described in the immediately preceding sentence shall be deemed to be a commercially reasonable exercise of Lenders rights and remedies as a secured party with respect to the Clearing Account,
the Cash Management Account and any sums on deposit in either of them and shall not in any event be deemed to constitute a setoff or a foreclosure of a statutory bankers lien. Nothing in this Agreement shall obligate Lender to apply all or any
portion of the Clearing Account or Cash Management Account to effect a cure of any Event of Default, or to pay the Debt, or, during an Event of Default, in any specific order of priority. The exercise of any or all of Lenders rights and
remedies under this Agreement with respect to the Clearing Account, Cash Management Account and/or the sums on deposit therein shall not in any way prejudice or affect Lenders right to initiate and complete a foreclosure under the Mortgage.
3.5 Indemnification by Borrower. Lender shall be responsible for
the performance only of such duties with respect to the Clearing Account and Cash Management Account as are specifically set forth herein, and no duty shall be implied from any provision hereof. Lender shall not be under any obligation or duty to
perform any act which would involve it in expense or liability or to institute or defend any suit in respect hereof, or to advance any of its own monies. Lender shall not be liable for any acts, omissions, errors in judgment or mistakes of fact or
law, including, without limitation, with respect to proceeds on deposit in the Clearing Account or Cash Management Account. Borrower shall indemnify and hold the Lender, its successors, assigns, shareholders, directors, officers, employees, and
agents (including, without limitation, any Servicers) harmless from and against any loss, cost or damage (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys fees and disbursements) incurred by such parties in connection with the Clearing
Account, Lockbox Address, Cash Management Account or the investment by Lender of amounts in the Cash Management Account or the Subaccounts, other than such as result from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lender or intentional
nonperformance by Lender of its obligations under this Agreement.
3.6 Acknowledgment and Agreement by Property Manager. Borrower hereby
covenants and agrees that it shall cause the Property Manager and any successor Property Manager to acknowledge, agree to and assume in writing, the duties and obligations of the Property Manager under this Article III.
30
3.7 Miscellaneous.
(a) Borrower agrees that the Cash Management Bank shall pay over to
Lender all amounts deposited in the Cash Management Account on demand (to be applied by Lender in accordance with this Article III), without notice to the Borrower.
(b) Borrower confirms and agrees that, notwithstanding the provisions of this
Agreement, Borrower retains sole control over the operation and maintenance of the Property, subject to the obligations of Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and Lender is not and shall not be deemed to be a mortgagee in
possession.
(c) The Lender shall from time to time direct the Cash
Management Bank (which direction shall not be required to be given more often than one time per month), to invest amounts allocated to the Subaccounts in investments selected by the Lender. All funds in the Subaccounts that are so invested are
deemed to be held in the Subaccounts for all purposes of this Agreement, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents. Except as otherwise provided in Section 4.30 hereof, all earnings on investments from the Subaccounts shall be for the
benefit of the Lender. Borrower hereby assumes all risk of loss with respect to funds on deposit in the Subaccounts.
3.8 Annual Budgets.
For each fiscal year during the term of the Loan, Borrower shall submit to Lender for Lenders written approval an Annual
Budget not later than sixty (60) days prior to the commencement of such fiscal year (provided that the Annual Budget for the fiscal year in which the date hereof occurs shall be submitted to Lender for its approval prior to the date hereof, in
form satisfactory to Lender setting forth in reasonable detail budgeted monthly operating income and monthly operating capital and other expenses for the Property. Each Annual Budget shall contain, among other things, limitations on management fees,
third party service fees, and other expenses as Borrower may reasonably determine. Lender shall have the right to approve such Annual Budget, and in the event that Lender objects to the proposed Annual Budget submitted by Borrower, Lender shall
advise Borrower of such objections within fifteen (15) days after receipt thereof (and deliver to Borrower a reasonably detailed description of such objections) and Borrower shall within three (3) days after receipt of notice of any such
objections revise such Annual Budget and resubmit the same to Lender. Lender shall advise Borrower of any objections to such revised Annual Budget within ten (10) days after receipt thereof (and deliver to Borrower a reasonably detailed
description of such objections) and Borrower shall revise the same in accordance with the process described in this subparagraph until the Lender approves an Annual Budget. Until such time as Lender approves a proposed Annual Budget, the most
recently Approved Annual Budget shall apply; provided that such Approved Annual Budget shall be adjusted to reflect actual increases in real estate taxes, insurance premiums and utilities expenses. Failure of the Borrower to submit, in a timely
fashion, Annual Budgets in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3.8, shall constitute, at Lenders option, an Event of Default. In addition, and without limiting any of the foregoing, the receipt and approval by Lender of an
Annual Budget as required hereunder shall be a condition precedent to any obligation hereunder of Lender to release any funds from the Cash Management Account for the payment of Cash Expenses, Net Capital Expenditures and/or Extraordinary Expenses,
and Borrower expressly acknowledges that it shall be responsible for the current and timely payment of such expenses notwithstanding that Lenders shall not be required to release such funds.
31
ARTICLE IV
REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS OF BORROWER
For the purpose of inducing Lender to make the Loan and for the protection of the security of the Loan Documents, for so long
as the Debt or any part thereof remains unpaid, Borrower makes the representations and warranties as set forth in Section 4.1 below and covenants and agrees as set forth elsewhere in this Article IV as follows:
4.1 Representations and Warranties of Borrower. Borrower, for
itself and its successors and assigns, does hereby represent and warrant to Lender that:
(a) Organization and Existence; Organizational Chart. Borrower is duly
organized and validly existing as a limited partnership in good standing under the laws of the Delaware and is qualified to do business in the state of Texas and in all other jurisdictions in which Borrower is transacting business. Attached as
Exhibit C to this Agreement is a true, correct and complete organizational chart of Borrower. Borrower has delivered to Lender a true, correct and complete copy of the Organizational Documents for each Person (other than a natural person)
shown thereon.
(b) Authorization. Borrower has the power and
authority to execute, deliver and perform the obligations imposed on it under the Loan Documents and to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents and has taken all necessary actions in furtherance thereof including, without
limitation, that those partners or members of Borrower whose approval is required by the terms of Borrowers organizational documents have duly approved the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents and have authorized execution and
delivery thereof by the respective signatories. To the best of Borrowers knowledge, no other consent by any local, state or federal agency is required in connection with the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents.
(c) Valid Execution and Delivery. All of the Loan Documents requiring
execution by Borrower have been duly and validly executed and delivered by Borrower.
(d) Enforceability. All of the Loan Documents constitute valid, legal
and binding obligations of Borrower and are fully enforceable against Borrower in accordance with their terms, subject only to bankruptcy laws and general principles of equity.
(e) No Defenses. This Agreement, the Note, the Mortgage and the other
Loan Documents are not subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, nor would the operation of any of the terms of this Agreement, the Note, the Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents, or the exercise of any right
thereunder, render this Agreement, the Note, the Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents unenforceable, in whole or in part, or subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury.
(f) Defense of Usury. Borrower knows of no facts that would support a
claim of usury to defeat or avoid its obligation to repay the principal of, interest on, and other sums or amounts due and payable under, the Loan Documents.
(g) No Conflict/Violation of Law. The execution, delivery and
performance of the Loan Documents by Borrower will not cause or constitute a default under or conflict with the organizational documents of Borrower, any Guarantor or any Constituent Entity of either of them. The execution, delivery and performance
of the obligations imposed on Borrower under the Loan Documents will not cause Borrower or any Guarantor or any Constituent Entity of either of them to be in default, including after due notice or lapse of time or both, under the provisions of any
agreement, judgment or order to which Borrower or any Guarantor or any Constituent Entity of either of them is a party or by which Borrower or any Guarantor or any Constituent Entity of either of them is bound.
32
(h) Compliance with Applicable
Laws and Regulations. All of the Improvements and the use of the Property by Borrower comply with, and shall remain in compliance with, all applicable statutes, rules, regulations and private covenants now or hereafter relating to the ownership,
construction, use or operation of the Property, including all applicable health, fire and building codes, and all applicable statutes, rules and regulations pertaining to requirements for equal opportunity, anti-discrimination, fair housing,
environmental protection, zoning and land use (collectively, Applicable Laws). There is no evidence of any illegal activities relating to controlled substances on the Property. All licenses, permits, franchises, certificates of
occupancy, consents and other approvals necessary for the operation of the Property for the use currently being made thereof have been obtained and are in full force and effect. All of the Improvements comply with all requirements of any applicable
zoning and subdivision laws and ordinances.
(i) Consents
Obtained. All consents, approvals, authorizations, orders or filings with any court or governmental agency or body, if any, required for the execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents by Borrower have been obtained or made.
(j) No Litigation. There are no pending actions, suits or
proceedings, arbitrations or governmental investigations against the Property, Borrower, any Guarantor or any Constituent Entity of Borrower or any Guarantor, whether pursuant to the Loan Documents or otherwise, an adverse outcome of which would
materially affect Borrowers performance under this Agreement, the Note, the Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents.
(k) Title. Borrower has good and marketable fee simple title to the
Property, subject only to those matters expressly listed as exceptions to title or subordinate matters in the title insurance policy accepted by Lender in connection with this Agreement (the Title Insurance Policy), excepting
therefrom all preprinted and/or standard exceptions (the Permitted Exceptions). Borrower has good and marketable leasehold title to the Leasehold Real Estate, pursuant to the Ground Lease for the terms described in the Ground
Lease and subject only to the Permitted Exceptions. The possession of the Property has been peaceful and undisturbed and title thereto has not been disputed or questioned. Further, Borrower and has full power and lawful authority to grant, bargain,
sell, convey, assign, transfer and mortgage its interest in the Property in the manner and form done or intended under the Loan Documents. Borrower will preserve its interest in and title to the Property and will forever warrant and defend the same
to Lender against any and all claims whatsoever and will forever warrant and defend the validity and priority of the lien and security interest created under the Loan Documents against the claims of all persons and parties whomsoever, subject to the
Permitted Exceptions. The foregoing warranty of title shall survive the foreclosure of the Mortgage and shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Lender in the event Lender acquires title to the Property pursuant to any foreclosure.
(l) Permitted Exceptions. The Permitted Exceptions do not and
will not materially and adversely affect (1) the ability of Borrower to pay in full the principal and interest on the Note in a timely manner or (2) the use of the Property for the use currently being made thereof, the operation of the
Property as currently being operated or the value of the Property.
(m) First
Lien. Upon the execution by Borrower and the recording of the Mortgage, and upon the filing of UCC-1 financing statements or amendments thereto, Lender will have a valid first lien on the Property and a valid security interest in all personal
property encumbered thereby, subject to no liens, charges or encumbrances (which prohibition shall include any lien, charge or encumbrance securing a PACE Loan) other than the Permitted Exceptions.
33
(n) ERISA. Borrower has
made and shall continue to make all required contributions to all employee benefit plans and multi-employer plans, if any, and Borrower has no knowledge of any material liability which has been incurred by
Borrower which remains unsatisfied for any taxes or penalties with respect to any employee benefit plan or any multi-employer plan, and each such plan has been administered in compliance with its terms and the applicable provisions of ERISA and any
other federal or state law and shall continue to be qualified and tax-exempt to the greatest extent permitted thereunder. Other than with respect to any such plans, Borrower is not an entity subject to
regulation or restriction under ERISA, and no assets of Borrower are plan assets (as defined in ERISA).
(o) Financial Statements. The financial statements of Borrower (or any
predecessor-in-interest to Borrower as owner of the Property, if applicable, that is an Affiliate of Borrower), any general partner, managing member or sole member of Borrower, and Guarantor that were furnished to Lender (whether in connection with
Lenders consideration to make the Loan, pursuant to the Loan Documents, or otherwise) are (in each case) complete and correct and fairly present the financial condition of the subject thereof (including, without limitation, assets, liabilities
and liquidity) as of the date set forth thereon, and the results of operations of such party for the periods covered by such statements (if applicable). No material adverse change in the financial condition of any such party has occurred between the
respective dates of the most recent financial statements that were furnished to Lender (whether in connection with Lenders consideration to make the Loan, pursuant to the Loan Documents, or otherwise) relating to such entities or persons, and
the date on which this representation is made (or deemed restated). After giving effect to the Loan, each of Borrower, any general partner, managing member or sole member of Borrower, and Guarantor each has a positive net worth. After the Loan is
made, and giving effect to the payment obligations with respect to the Loan, Borrower will have sufficient working capital (including, if applicable, projected cash flow from the Property) not only to adequately maintain the Property as required by
the Loan Documents but also to pay all of Borrowers outstanding debts as they come due. Each of the representations in this paragraph shall be deemed restated as part of each request for any disbursement from any Reserve.
(p) No Other Obligations or Contingent Liabilities. Borrower has no
material financial obligation under any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement or other agreement or instrument to which Borrower is a party or by which Borrower or the Property is otherwise bound, other than (i) obligations
incurred in the ordinary course of the operation of the Property that do not violate Section 4.27, and (ii) the Debt. Neither Borrower nor any Guarantor has any known material contingent liabilities, except for contingent
liabilities of any Guarantor explicitly set forth on the most recent financial statements of such Guarantor that were delivered to Lender in connection with the Loan.
(q) Fraudulent Conveyance. Borrower (1) has not entered into the
Loan or any Loan Document with the actual intent to hinder, delay, or defraud any creditor and (2) received reasonably equivalent value in exchange for its obligations under the Loan Documents. Giving effect to the Loan contemplated by the Loan
Documents, the fair saleable value of Borrowers assets exceed and will, immediately following the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, exceed Borrowers total liabilities, including, without limitation, subordinated,
unliquidated, disputed or contingent liabilities. The fair saleable value of Borrowers assets is and will, immediately following the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, be greater than Borrowers probable liabilities, including
the maximum amount of its contingent liabilities or its debts as such debts become absolute and matured. Borrowers assets do not and, immediately following the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents will not, constitute unreasonably
small capital to carry out its business as conducted or as proposed to be conducted. Borrower does not intend to, and does not believe that it will, incur debts and liabilities (including, without limitation, contingent liabilities and other
commitments) beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts to be payable on or in respect of obligations of Borrower). Neither Borrower, nor any member, partner or shareholder of Borrower, has made
or received,
34
or is making or receiving in connection with the Loan, (1) a transfer of an interest of its property to or for the benefit of a creditor of such party that is or could constitute a voidable
preference under federal bankruptcy, state insolvency, or similar applicable creditors rights laws, or (2) a transfer (including any transfer to or for the benefit of an insider under an employment contract) within two years of the date
hereof that is or could constitute a fraudulent transfer under federal bankruptcy, state insolvency, or similar applicable creditors rights laws.
(r) Investment Company Act. Neither Borrower nor any Guarantor is
(1) an investment company or a company controlled by an investment company, within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended; (2) a holding company or a subsidiary
company of a holding company or an affiliate of either a holding company or a subsidiary company within the meaning of the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, as amended; or
(3) subject to any other federal or state law or regulation which purports to restrict or regulate its ability to borrow money.
(s) Access/Utilities. The Property has adequate rights of access to
public ways and is served by adequate water, sewer, sanitary sewer and storm drain facilities. All public utilities necessary to the continued use and enjoyment of the Property as presently used and enjoyed are located in the public right-of-way
abutting the Property, or enter the Property via permanent easements not subject to termination except with the consent of Borrower, and all such utilities are connected so as to serve the Property without passing over other property. All roads, and
access to such roads, necessary for the full utilization of the Property for its current purpose have been completed and dedicated to public use and accepted by all governmental authorities or are the subject of access easements for the benefit of
the Property without any further condition or cost to Borrower.
(t) Taxes Paid. Borrower has filed all federal, state, county and
municipal tax returns required to have been filed by Borrower, and has paid all taxes which have become due pursuant to such returns or to any notice of assessment received by Borrower, and Borrower has no knowledge of any basis for additional
assessment with respect to such taxes. Further, the Property is free from delinquent Taxes and Other Charges.
(u) Single Tax Lot. The Real Estate consists of a single lot or
multiple tax lots; no portion of said tax lot(s) covers property other than the Real Estate or a portion of the Real Estate and no portion of the Real Estate lies in any other tax lot.
(v) Special Assessments. Except as disclosed in the Title Insurance
Policy, there are no pending or, to the knowledge of Borrower, proposed special or other assessments for public improvements or otherwise affecting the Property, nor, to the knowledge of Borrower, are there any contemplated improvements to the
Property that may result in such special or other assessments.
(w) Flood
Zone. The Property is not located in an area as identified by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as an area having special flood hazards or, if so located, the flood insurance required pursuant to Section 4.4 is in full
force and effect with respect to the Property.
(x) Seismic
Exposure. The Real Estate is not located in Zone 3 or Zone 4 of the Seismic Zone Map of the U.S.
(y) Misstatements of Fact. No certification, representation or
statement of fact made in the Loan Documents contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make statements contained herein or therein not misleading. There is no fact presently known to Borrower,
any Guarantor or any Constituent Entity of Borrower or any Guarantor which has not been disclosed which adversely affects, or in the judgment of a reasonable person might adversely affect,
35
the business, operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of the representing party. Further, and in clarification of the foregoing, all reports, certificates, affidavits, representations,
statements and other data furnished by or on behalf of Borrower, Guarantor and each Constituent Entity of each of them to Lender, or their respective agents, in connection with the Loan are true and correct in all material respects and do not omit
to state any fact or circumstance necessary to make the statements contained therein not misleading.
(z) Condition of Improvements. The Property has not been damaged by
fire, water, wind or other cause of loss since the earlier to occur of the initial visit to or inspection of the Property by Lender or its agents in connection with the Loan. The Improvements are structurally sound, in good repair and free of
defects in materials and workmanship and have been constructed and installed in substantial compliance with the plans and specifications relating thereto. All major building systems located within the Improvements, including, without limitation, the
heating and air conditioning systems and the electrical and plumbing systems, are in good working order and condition.
(aa) No Insolvency or Judgment. Neither Borrower, nor any Guarantor, nor any
Constituent Entity of Borrower or any Guarantor, (i) has been or is currently the subject of or a party to any completed or pending bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency proceeding; or (ii) is currently the subject of any judgment
unsatisfied of record or docketed in any court of the state in which the Property is located or in any other court located in the United States. The proposed Loan will not render Borrower or any general partner or member of Borrower insolvent. As
used in this Agreement, the term insolvent means that the sum total of all of an entitys liabilities (whether secured or unsecured, contingent or fixed, or liquidated or unliquidated) is in excess of the value of all such
entitys non-exempt assets, i.e., all of the assets of the entity that are available to satisfy claims of creditors.
(bb) No Condemnation. No part of the Property has been taken in condemnation or
other like proceeding to an extent which would impair the value of the Property, this Agreement, the Mortgage or the Loan or the usefulness of such property for the purposes contemplated by the Loan Documents, nor is any proceeding pending,
threatened or known to be contemplated for the partial or total condemnation or taking of the Property.
(cc) No Labor or Materialmen Claims. All parties furnishing labor and materials to
Borrower (or any predecessor-in-title) or the Property have been paid in full and, except for such liens or claims expressly disclosed in, and insured against by the
Title Insurance Policy, there are no mechanics, laborers or materialmens liens or claims outstanding for work, labor or materials affecting the Property, whether prior to, equal with or subordinate to the lien of the Mortgage.
(dd) No Purchase Options. No tenant, party, firm, corporation or other Person has
an option, right of first offer, or right of first refusal, to purchase the Property, any portion thereof or any interest therein.
(ee) Leases. Attached hereto as Exhibit B is a true, correct and complete
Rent Roll as of the date hereof. The Property is not subject to any Leases or other agreements related to the leasing or renting of the Property or any portion thereof, except as set forth on the Rent Roll. No person has any possessory interest in
the Property or right to occupy the same, except pursuant to the Leases. Borrower hereby represents that: (i) Borrower has delivered a Rent Roll that is true, correct and complete as of the date hereof; and (ii) Borrower is the owner and
holder of the landlords interest under the Leases, and there are no prior assignments of all or any portion of the Leases or any portion of the Rents and Profits which are presently outstanding and have priority over the assignment of leases
and rents given by Borrower to Lender in the Mortgage or the Assignment of Leases; and (iii) each Lease constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Borrower and, to the best of Borrowers knowledge and belief, is
36
enforceable against the Tenant thereunder; and (iv) no default exists, or with the passing of time or the giving of notice or both would exist, under any Lease which would, in the aggregate,
have a material adverse effect on Borrower or the Property; and (v) except as disclosed in writing in an estoppel certificate by such Tenant that has been delivered to and accepted by Lender in connection with the Loan, no Tenant has any offset
or defense to the payment of rent under its Lease; and (vi) except as disclosed in writing in an estoppel certificate by such Tenant that has been delivered to and accepted by Lender in connection with the Loan, no Tenant has, as of the date
hereof, paid rent under its Lease more than one (1) month in advance, and the rents under such Lease have not been waived, released, or otherwise discharged or compromised; and (vii) all work to be performed by Borrower under each Lease
has been substantially performed, all contributions to be made by Borrower to the Tenant thereunder have been made and all other conditions precedent to each Tenants obligations thereunder have been satisfied; and (viii) except as
disclosed in writing in an estoppel certificate by such Tenant that has been delivered to and accepted by Lender in connection with the Loan, each Tenant under a Lease has entered into occupancy of the premises demised thereunder; and
(ix) Borrower has delivered to Lender true, correct and complete copies of all Leases described in the Rent Roll; and (x) to the best of Borrowers knowledge and belief, each Tenant is free from bankruptcy, reorganization or
arrangement proceedings or a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; and (xi) no Lease provides any party with the right to obtain a lien or encumbrance upon the Property superior to the lien of the Mortgage.
(ff) Appraisal. All information provided by or on behalf of Borrower to
the appraiser in connection with the appraisal of the property prepared in connection with the closing of the Loan was true, correct and complete in all material respects.
(gg) Boundary Lines. All of the Improvements which were included in determining the
appraised value of the Property lie wholly within the boundaries and building restriction lines of the Property, and except as specifically described in the Title Insurance Policy, no improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon the Property,
and no easements or other encumbrances upon the Real Estate encroach upon any of the Improvements, in each case so as to affect the value or marketability of the Property except those which are insured against by title insurance.
(hh) Survey. The survey of the Property delivered to Lender in connection with this
Agreement does not fail to reflect any material matter affecting the Property or the title thereto. To the best of Borrowers knowledge, such survey has been prepared by a duly licensed surveyor in the State in which the Real Estate is located.
(ii) Forfeiture. There has not been and shall never be committed
by Borrower or any other person in occupancy of or involved with the operation or use of the Property any act or omission affording the federal government or any state or local government the right of forfeiture as against the Property or any part
thereof or any monies paid in performance of Borrowers obligations under any of the Loan Documents.
(jj) No Broker. No financial advisors, brokers, underwriters, placement
agents, agents or finders have been dealt with by Borrower in connection with the Loan, except for any broker whose full commission was paid out of the proceeds of the Loan and is set forth on the Closing Statement.
(kk) Conviction of Criminal Acts. Each of Borrower, any Guarantor, and any
Constituent Entity of Borrower or any Guarantor, has never been convicted of a crime (which shall not include traffic violations) and is not currently the subject of any pending or threatened criminal investigation or proceeding. Borrower has
disclosed to Lender in writing any civil action (whether or not such action resulted in a judgment) and regulatory or enforcement proceeding to which Borrower and any
37
Guarantor was a defendant or respondent within the 20-year period prior to the date of this Agreement that (i) was a Bankruptcy Action, or (ii) in which it was alleged that Borrower or
such Guarantor engaged in fraud, deception or misrepresentation, or with respect to which Borrower or any Guarantor was ordered or agreed not to engage in the banking or securities industry.
(ll) Security Agreements. There are no security agreements or financing
statements affecting or encumbering any of the Property other than the security agreements and financing statements created in favor of Lender.
(mm) Homestead. The Property forms no part of any property owned, used or claimed by Borrower
as a residence or business homestead and is not exempt from forced sale under the laws of the State in which the Real Estate is located. Borrower hereby disclaims and renounces each and every claim to all or any portion of the Property as a
homestead.
(nn) Compliance with Anti-Terrorism, Embargo and Anti-Money Laundering
Laws. None of Borrower, Guarantor, any Controlling Entity, or any Person who owns any direct equity interest in or controls any of the foregoing, is or has previously been (i) identified on the OFAC List or otherwise qualified as a
Prohibited Person, or (ii) in violation of any applicable laws relating to anti-money laundering or anti-terrorism, including, without limitation, any applicable laws related to transacting business with Prohibited Persons or the requirements
of the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001, U.S. Public Law 107-56, and the related regulations issued thereunder, including temporary regulations, all as amended
from time to time, or (iii) in violation of other requirements of Governmental Authority (including, without limitation, requirements applicable to Lender of which Borrower has notice) with respect to anti-money laundering, know your
customer regulations, and similar matters. Borrower will implement procedures, approved by Borrowers Controlling Entity, to ensure that no Equity Holder (and no Person who, after the date hereof, becomes an Equity Holder) causes the
foregoing representations not to be true, correct and complete.
(oo) Personal
Property. Borrower is the owner, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances, of all personal property that is used in, and is reasonably necessary to, the operation of the Property.
(pp) Use of Proceeds. No part of the proceeds of the Loan will be used for the
purpose of purchasing or acquiring any margin stock within the meaning of Regulations T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, or to reduce ore retire any obligation originally incurred to purchase any margin
stock, or for any other purpose which would be inconsistent with such Regulations T, U or X or any other Regulations of such Board of Governors, or for any purposes prohibited by any Applicable Laws or by the terms and conditions of this Agreement
or any other Loan Document. Borrower does not own any margin stock (as so defined).
(qq) Intentionally Omitted.
(rr) Ground Lease.
(1) The Ground Lease or a memorandum regarding such Ground
Lease has been duly recorded or submitted for recordation in a form that is acceptable for recording in the applicable jurisdiction. The Ground Lease (either by itself or together with the Ground Lessors Recognition Agreement) permits the
interest of Borrower to be encumbered, including, without limitation, by the Mortgage. The Ground Lease does not restrict the use of the Property in a manner that would materially adversely affect the security provided by the Mortgage and other Loan
Documents;
38
(2) The Ground
Lease (either itself or together with the Ground Lessors Recognition Agreement) provides that the Ground Lease may not be amended or modified, or canceled or terminated by agreement of Ground Lessor and Borrower, or surrendered by Borrower, in
each case without the prior written consent of Lender;
(3) The term of the Ground Lease as currently in effect expires
on June 9, 2023. The Ground Lease provides for renewal term that is automatically coterminous without further requirements with any extensions and/or renewals of the United Healthcare Lease.
(4) The priority of the Ground Lease with respect to fee title
to the Real Estate is not subject to any liens or encumbrances superior to, or of equal priority with, the Mortgage, except for the related fee interest of the Ground Lessor and the Permitted Encumbrances. The lien of any mortgage hereafter placed
on the fee title to the Real Estate is and will be subject and subordinate to the Ground Lease and to any Replacement Ground Lease;
(5) [Intentionally Omitted];
(6) The Ground Lease is in full force and effect. There is no
default under the Ground Lease and no condition that, but for the passage of time or giving of notice, would result in a default under the Ground Lease. The Ground Lease represents the entire agreement between the parties thereto and their
respective Affiliates with respect to the Real Estate and the Improvements;
(7) The Ground Lease (either by themselves or together with the
Ground Lessors Recognition Agreement) requires the Ground Lessor to give to Lender written notice of any default under the Ground Lease, and provides that no notice of default or termination is effective against Lender unless such notice is
given to Lender;
(8) Pursuant to the Ground Lessors
Recognition Agreement, Lender is permitted a reasonable opportunity (including, where necessary, sufficient time to gain possession of the interest of Borrower under the Ground Lease through legal proceedings) to cure any default under the Ground
Lease which is curable after Lenders receipt of notice of any such default, before Ground Lessor may terminate the Ground Lease. Provided that no monetary default remains uncured beyond any applicable notice and grace periods to which Borrower
and Lender are entitled, the Ground Lease may not be terminated by Ground Lessor by reason of any default by Borrower which is not susceptible of cure by Lender without Ground Lessor being obligated to offer a Replacement Ground Lease to Lender;
(9) The Ground Lease does not impose any restrictions on
subletting of the Property that are commercially unreasonable;
(10) [Intentionally Omitted];
(11) In the event of a casualty, the terms and conditions of the Loan
Documents shall prevail. The foregoing shall not apply with respect to any condemnation, it being understood and agreed that per the terms of the Ground Lease, Ground Landlord shall be entitled to all proceeds from any condemnation;
39
(12) Provided that Lender
cures any defaults under the Ground Lease that are susceptible of being cured, Ground Lessor has agreed to enter into a new lease(s) (such new lease, a Replacement Ground Lease) with Lender (or Lenders designee), for the
remainder of the term of such Ground Lease upon the same base rent and additional rent and other terms, covenants, conditions and agreements as are contained in the Ground Lease, upon termination of the Ground Lease for any reason, including
rejection of the Ground Lease in a bankruptcy proceeding involving Borrower;
(13) Borrower
does not make any type of escrow deposits with Ground Lessor and Ground Lessor does not hold any type of deposit from Borrower (security or otherwise).
4.2 Defense of Title. If the title to the Property or the interest of
Lender therein shall be the subject, directly or indirectly, of any action at law or in equity, or be attached directly or indirectly, or endangered, clouded or adversely affected in any manner, Borrower, at Borrowers expense, shall take all
necessary and proper steps for the defense of said title or interest, including the employment of counsel approved by Lender (it being agreed that Lender shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to counsel appointed pursuant to the Title
Insurance Policy for such purposes), the prosecution or defense of litigation, and the compromise or discharge of claims made against said title or interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Lender determines that Borrower is not
adequately performing its obligations under this Section 4.2, Lender may, without limiting or waiving any other rights or remedies of Lender hereunder, take such steps with respect thereto as Lender shall deem necessary or proper; any
and all costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection therewith, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate, shall be immediately paid by Borrower on demand.
4.3 Performance of Obligations. Borrower shall pay when due the
principal of and the interest on and other amounts evidenced by the Note. Borrower shall also pay and perform all of the Debt as and when due. Further, Borrower shall promptly and strictly perform and comply with all covenants, conditions,
obligations and prohibitions required of Borrower in connection with any other document or instrument affecting title to the Property, or any part thereof, regardless of whether such document or instrument is superior or subordinate to the Mortgage,
except as expressly prohibited by the Loan Documents.
4.4 Insurance. Borrower shall, at Borrowers expense, maintain in
force and effect on the Property at all times the following insurance (or such greater insurance as may be required under the Ground Lease):
(a) Insurance against loss or damage to the Property by fire, windstorm,
tornado and hail and against loss and damage by such other, further and additional risks as may be now or hereafter embraced by an all-risk/special form of insurance policy. The amount of such insurance shall be not less than one hundred
percent (100%) of the full replacement (insurable) cost of the Improvements from time to time, without reduction for depreciation. The determination of the replacement cost amount shall be adjusted annually to comply with the requirements of
the insurer issuing such coverage or, at Lenders election, by reference to such indices, appraisals or information as Lender determines in its reasonable discretion. Full replacement cost, as used herein, means, with respect to the
Improvements, the cost of replacing the Improvements without regard to deduction for depreciation, exclusive of the cost of excavations, foundations and footings below the lowest basement floor, and means, with respect to such furniture,
furnishings, fixtures, equipment and other items, the cost of replacing the same, in each case, with inflation guard coverage to reflect the effect of inflation, or annual valuation. Each policy or policies shall contain a replacement cost
endorsement and either an agreed amount endorsement (to avoid the operation of any co-insurance provisions) or a waiver of any co-insurance provisions, all subject to Lenders approval. In the event that the Real Estate or the Improvements
constitutes a legal
40
non-conforming use under applicable building, zoning or land use laws or ordinances, shall include ordinance or law coverage which will contain Coverage A: Loss to Operation of Law
(with a minimum liability limit approved by Lender), Coverage B: Demolition Cost and Coverage C: Increased Cost of Construction coverages (each with sublimits reasonably approved by Lender). The deductible with respect to
such insurance shall not exceed $25,000.00 per occurrence, except for wind/hail coverage which is permitted to have up to a $100,000 deductible.
(b) Comprehensive Commercial General Liability Insurance written on an
occurrence basis for personal injury, bodily injury, death and property damage liability in amounts not less than $1,000,000.00 per occurrence and $2,000,000.00 in the aggregate, with no deductible or self insured retention together with umbrella
coverage in amounts not less than $50,000,000.00. If the aggregate limit applying to the Premises is reduced by the payment of a claim or establishment of a reserve equal to or greater than fifty percent (50%) of the annual aggregate, Borrower
shall immediately arrange to have the aggregate limit restored by endorsement to the existing policy or the purchase of an additional insurance policy unless, in Lenders reasonable judgment, Borrower maintains sufficient concurrent excess
liability insurance to satisfy the liability requirements of this Loan Document without the reinstatement of the aggregate limit. This insurance shall be primary and non-contributory and the additional insureds required will be added to both the CGL
and Umbrella policies. During any construction on the Property, Borrowers general contractor for such construction shall also provide the insurance required in this Subsection (b). Lender hereby retains the right to periodically review
the amount of said liability insurance being maintained by Borrower and to require an increase in the amount of said liability insurance should Lender deem an increase to be reasonably prudent under then existing circumstances.
(c) General boiler and machinery insurance coverage is required if the
property contains centralized equipment, steam boilers or other pressure-fired vessels in operation at the Property. Minimum liability amount per accident must equal the lesser of the replacement (insurable) value of the Improvements housing such
equipment, boiler or pressure-fired machinery or such lesser amount as approved by Lender in their discretion. The deductible with respect to such insurance shall not exceed $10,000.00 per claim.
(d) If the Improvements on the Property or any part thereof is identified by the
Secretary of Housing and Urban Development as being situated in an area now or subsequently designated as having special flood hazards (including, without limitation, those areas designated as Zone A or Zone V), flood insurance in an amount equal to
the lesser of: (i) the minimum amount required, under the terms of coverage, to compensate for any damage or loss on a replacement basis (or the unpaid balance of the Debt if replacement cost coverage is not available for the type of building
insured); or (ii) such lesser amount as may be required by Lender. The deductible with respect to such insurance shall not exceed $5,000.00 per occurrence for residential properties and $10,000 for commercial properties.
(e) During the period of any construction on the Property or renovation or
alteration of the Improvements, a so-called Builders All-Risk Completed Value insurance policy for any Improvements under construction, renovation or alteration in an amount approved by Lender consistent with Section 4.1(a)
above and Workers Compensation Insurance covering all persons engaged in such construction, renovation or alteration. The deductible for such insurance, if any, shall be satisfactory to Lender.
(f) Loss of rents or loss of business income insurance which covers a period
of not less than eighteen (18) months), together with an extended period of indemnity of not less than 180 days, and covers the actual loss sustained during restoration. The amount of such rental loss and/or business interruption insurance
shall be increased from time to time while the Loan remains outstanding as and
41
when new Leases and renewal Leases are entered into and the Rents and Profits increase or the estimate of (or the actual) operating expenses for the Property, as may be applicable, increases. The
deductible for such insurance, if any, shall be satisfactory to Lender.
(g) Any other insurance coverage (or higher coverages) running to the benefit
of, or required by, Lender in connection with the making of the Loan and as set forth on the insurance certificates or policies delivered to and accepted by Lender in connection with the closing of the Loan.
(h) The property insurance, public liability insurance and rental loss and/or
business interruption insurance required under Sections 4.4(a), (b) and (f) above shall cover perils of terrorism and acts of terrorism and Borrower shall maintain property insurance, public liability insurance and rental loss
and/or business interruption insurance for loss resulting from perils and acts of terrorism on terms (including amounts) consistent with those required under Sections 4.4(a), (b) and (f) above at all times during the term of the
Loan, and such other insurance (see section (i)).
(i) Such other
insurance on the Property or on any replacements or substitutions thereof or additions thereto as may from time to time be required by Lender against other insurable hazards or casualties which at the time are commonly insured against in the case of
property similarly situated to the Property including, without limitation, Sinkhole, Mine Subsidence, Earthquake and Environmental insurance, due regard being given to the height and type of buildings, their construction, location, use and
occupancy.
Unless otherwise approved by lender in writing in advance of placement, all such insurance shall (i) be
with insurers authorized to do business in the State within which the Real Estate is located and who have and maintain a rating satisfying the Insurance Ratings Requirement (or, alternatively, if the insurers maintain re-insurance with re-insurers
maintaining such rating, Lender will not unreasonably withhold its consent to satisfying the Insurance Ratings Requirement by means of a cut-through endorsement allowing recourse directly against a reinsurer that meets the Insurance
Rating Requirement), (ii) contain the complete address of the Property (or a complete legal description), (iii) be for terms of at least one year, and (iv) be subject to the approval of Lender as to insurance companies, amounts,
content, forms of policies, method by which premiums are paid and expiration dates.
Borrower shall as of the date hereof
deliver to Lender evidence that said insurance policies have been paid current as of the date hereof and certified copies of such insurance policies and original certificates of insurance signed by an authorized agent of the applicable insurance
companies evidencing such insurance, all of which shall be satisfactory to Lender. Without limiting the foregoing, all certificates of insurance for the liability insurance referenced in (b) above shall be on the ACORD 25 Form, and all
certificates of insurance for other coverages shall be on either the ACORD 27 form or the March, 1993 edition of the ACORD 28 form (unless Lender expressly approves another form). Borrower shall renew all such insurance and deliver to Lender
certificates evidencing such renewals at least fifteen (15) days before any such insurance shall expire. Without limiting the required endorsements to the insurance policies, Borrower further agrees that all such policies shall include a
standard, non-contributory, mortgagee clause naming:
CIBC INC.,
its successors and/or assigns, as their interests may appear
Attn: Real Estate Group, Mr. Karin OCallahan
425 Lexington Avenue, 4th Floor
New York, New York 10017
42
(x) as an additional insured under all liability insurance policies, (y) as the first
mortgagee on all property insurance policies and (z) as the loss payee/lenders loss payable on all business personal property, loss of rents and/or loss of business income insurance policies as applicable. Borrower further agrees that all
such insurance policies: (1) shall provide for at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to Lender prior to any cancellation or termination thereof (10 days for nonpayment of premium as statutorily required) on the property
insurance and when available, on the liability insurance policies (provided, however, that if such notice provisions are not available in any of the Policies, Borrower shall provide the required notice to Lender); (2) shall contain an
endorsement or agreement by the insurer that any loss shall be payable to Lender in accordance with the terms of such policy notwithstanding any act or negligence of Borrower which might otherwise result in forfeiture of such insurance;
(3) shall waive all rights of subrogation against Lender; and (4) may be in the form of a blanket policy provided that, in the event that any such coverage is provided in the form of a blanket policy, Borrower hereby acknowledges and
agrees that failure to pay any portion of the premium therefor which is not allocable to the Property or by any other action not relating to the Property which would otherwise permit the issuer thereof to cancel the coverage thereof, will result in
Lender requiring the Property to be insured by a separate, single-property policy. The blanket policy must properly identify and fully protect the Property as if a separate policy were issued for 100% of Replacement Cost at the time of loss and
otherwise meet all of Lenders applicable insurance requirements set forth in this Section 4.4. Lender will be provided a complete schedule of locations and values for all properties associated with a blanket policy. The delivery to
Lender of the insurance policies or the certificates of insurance as provided above shall constitute an assignment of all proceeds payable under such insurance policies relating to the Property by Borrower to Lender as further security for the Debt.
In the event of foreclosure of the Mortgage, or other transfer of title to the Property in extinguishment in whole or in part of the Debt, all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to all unearned insurance premiums and proceeds payable under
such policies then in force concerning the Property shall thereupon vest in the purchaser at such foreclosure, or in Lender or other transferee in the event of such other transfer of title whether or not the damage to the Property occurred prior to
such transfer of title. Approval of any insurance by Lender shall not be a representation of the solvency of any insurer or the sufficiency of any amount of insurance. In the event Borrower fails to provide, maintain, keep in force or deliver and
furnish to Lender the policies of insurance required by this Agreement or evidence of their renewal as required herein, Lender may, but shall not be obligated to, procure such insurance and Borrower shall pay all amounts advanced by Lender therefor,
together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from and after the date advanced by Lender until actually repaid by Borrower, promptly upon demand by Lender. Lender shall not be responsible for nor incur any liability for the insolvency of the
insurer or other failure of the insurer to perform, even though Lender has caused the insurance to be placed with the insurer after failure of Borrower to furnish such insurance. Borrower shall not obtain insurance for the Property in addition to
that required by Lender without the prior written consent of Lender, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld provided that (i) Lender is mortgagee, loss payee/lenders loss payable and/or additional insured (as applicable) on such
insurance, (ii) Lender receives complete copies of all policies evidencing such insurance, and (iii) such insurance complies with all of the applicable requirements set forth herein. To the extent that at any time Lender agrees to accept
insurance from an insurer that is rated less than the foregoing, Lender may terminate its waiver and reassert the aforesaid minimum rating requirements upon any renewal of any insurance coverage, or at any time if the rating of any insurer is
reduced or Lender determines that any other material adverse event has occurred with respect to the financial condition of such insurer.
4.5 Payment of Taxes. Except to the extent funds are held in the Impound
Account therefor pursuant to Section 4.6 of this Agreement when the same become due and payable, (a) Borrower shall pay or cause to be paid all taxes, assessments, water rents, sewer rents, governmental impositions and other
charges, including, without limitation, vault charges and license fees for the use of vaults, chutes and similar areas adjoining the Real Estate, now or hereafter levied or assessed or imposed against, or which are or may become a lien upon, the
Property (Taxes), and all ground rents, maintenance charges and
43
similar charges, now or hereafter levied or assessed or imposed against the Property or any part thereof (the Other Charges), and (b) Borrower shall furnish Lender with
receipts (or if receipts are not immediately available, with copies of canceled checks evidencing payment with receipts to follow promptly after they become available) showing payment of such Taxes and Other Charges at least fifteen (15) days
prior to the applicable delinquency date therefor. In no event shall any PACE Loan be considered a Tax or Other Charge for purposes of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower may in good faith, by appropriate proceedings and upon
notice to Lender, contest the validity, applicability or amount of any asserted Taxes or Other Charges so long as (x) such contest is diligently pursued, (y) Lender determines, in its subjective opinion, that such contest suspends the
obligation to pay the Taxes or Other Charges and that nonpayment of such Taxes or Other Charges will not result in the sale, loss, forfeiture or diminution of the Property or any part thereof or any interest of Lender therein, and (z) prior to
the earlier of the commencement of such contest or the delinquency date of the asserted Taxes or Other Charges, Borrower deposits in the Impound Account an amount determined by Lender to be adequate to cover the payment of such Taxes or Other
Charges and a reasonable additional sum to cover possible interest, costs and penalties; provided, however, that Borrower shall promptly cause to be paid any amount adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction to be due, with all
interest, costs and penalties thereon, promptly after such judgment becomes final; and provided, further, that in any event each such contest shall be concluded, the Taxes or Other Charges, as the case may be, together with any applicable interest,
costs and penalties, shall be paid prior to the date any writ or order is issued under which the Property may be sold, lost or forfeited.
4.6 Tax and Insurance Impound Account. Borrower shall establish and
maintain in effect with Lender at all times while the Loan is outstanding an impound account (the Impound Account) for payment of Taxes and Other Charges and for the premiums on the insurance required to be maintained with respect
to Borrower and the Property (Insurance Premiums) and as additional security for the Debt. In addition to the initial deposit to the Impound Account required simultaneously with the execution hereof, commencing on the first
Payment Date and continuing thereafter on each Payment Date until the Note and all other Debt are fully paid and performed, Borrower shall pay to Lender, for deposit to the Impound Account, an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12th) of the amount of the annual Taxes and Other Charges that will next become due and payable on the Property, plus one-twelfth
(1/12th) of the amount of the annual Insurance Premiums that will next become due and payable, each as estimated and determined by Lender. So long as no Default has occurred and is
continuing, all sums in the Impound Account shall be held by Lender in the Impound Account to pay said Taxes and Other Charges, in periodic installments, and Insurance Premiums in one annual installment, in each case, before the same become
delinquent. Borrower shall be responsible for ensuring the receipt by Lender, at least thirty (30) days prior to the respective due date for payment thereof, of all bills, invoices and statements for all Taxes and Other Charges, and all
Insurance Premiums, and so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender shall pay the Governmental Authority or other party entitled thereto directly to the extent funds are available for such purpose in the Impound Account. In
making any payment from the Impound Account, Lender shall be entitled to rely on any bill, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office or insurance company or agent without any inquiry into the accuracy of such bill, statement
or estimate and without any inquiry into the accuracy, validity, enforceability or contestability of any tax, assessment, valuation, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim thereof. The Impound Account shall not, unless otherwise explicitly
required by applicable law, be or be deemed to be escrow or trust funds, but, at Lenders option and in Lenders discretion, may either be held in a separate account or be commingled by Lender with the general funds of Lender. No interest
on the funds contained in the Impound Account shall be paid by Lender to Borrower. The Impound Account is solely for the protection of Lender and entails no responsibility on Lenders part beyond the payment of Taxes and Other Charges, and of
Insurance Premiums, following receipt of bills, invoices or statements therefor in accordance with the terms hereof and beyond the allowing of due credit for the sums actually received. Upon assignment of this Agreement by Lender, any funds in the
Impound Account shall be turned over to
44
the assignee and any responsibility of Lender, as assignor, with respect thereto shall terminate. If the total funds in the Impound Account are reasonably determined by Lender to be in excess of
the amount of payments required by Lender for the purposes of the Impound Account, such excess may be credited by Lender on subsequent payments to be made hereunder or, if such excess is greater than the amounts due from Borrower to Lender in the
month following such determination (and if no Default or Event of Default is then continuing), refunded to Borrower. If at any time Lender determines that, with the making of all monthly deposits to the Impound Account when due, the Impound Account
nonetheless would not contain sufficient funds to pay the next due periodic installments of all Taxes and Other Charges at least 30 days prior to the delinquency date thereof, or to pay the next due annual Insurance Premiums at least 30 days prior
to the due date thereof, Borrower shall, within ten (10) days after receipt of written notice thereof, deposit with Lender the full amount of any such deficiency. If Borrower shall fail to deposit with Lender the full amount of such deficiency
as provided above, Lender shall have the option, but not the obligation, to make such deposit and all amounts so deposited by Lender, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date incurred by Lender until actually paid by
Borrower, shall be immediately paid by Borrower on demand. At any time during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may, but shall not be obligated to, apply at any time the balance then remaining in the Impound Account against the Debt in
whatever order Lender shall subjectively determine. No such application of the Impound Account shall be deemed to cure any Default or Event of Default hereunder, and any such application shall not limit Borrowers obligation to deposit any
deficiency of which Lender gives notice. Upon full payment of the Debt in accordance with its terms or at such earlier time as Lender may elect, the balance of the Impound Account then in Lenders possession shall be paid over to Borrower and
no other party shall have any right or claim thereto.
4.7 Condemnation
and Casualty. Borrower shall give Lender prompt written notice of the occurrence of any casualty affecting, or the institution of any proceedings for eminent domain or for the condemnation of, the Property or any portion thereof. All insurance
proceeds on the Property, and all causes of action, claims, compensation, awards and recoveries for any damage, condemnation or taking of all or any part of the Property or for any damage or injury to it for any loss or diminution in value of the
Property, are hereby assigned to and shall be paid to Lender. Lender may participate in any suits or proceedings relating to any such proceeds, causes of action, claims, compensation, awards or recoveries and Lender is hereby authorized, in its own
name or in Borrowers name, to adjust any loss covered by insurance or any condemnation claim or cause of action, and to settle or compromise any claim or cause of action in connection therewith, and Borrower shall from time to time deliver to
Lender any instruments required to permit such participation; provided, however, that so long as no Default or Event of Default is continuing, Lender shall not participate in the adjustment of any loss which is less than the lesser of
(a) ten percent (10%) of the then outstanding principal balance of the Note and (b) $500,000.00. Lender may, at Lenders option, (i) hold the balance of any of such proceeds to be used to reimburse Borrower for the cost of
restoring and repairing the Property to the equivalent of its original condition or to such other condition as may be approved by Lender (the Restoration), and require Borrower to restore the Property to the equivalent of its
original condition or to such other condition as may be approved by Lender, or (ii) apply the balance of such proceeds to the payment of the Debt, whether or not then due. To the extent Lender, in accordance with the terms hereof, determines to
apply insurance or condemnation proceeds to Restoration, Lender shall do so in accordance with Lenders then-current policies relating to the, as applicable, restoration of casualty damage on similar properties or restoration or rebuilding of
properties that have been the subject of a partial condemnation. Lender shall not exercise its option to apply insurance proceeds or condemnation proceeds to the payment of the Debt if all of the following conditions are met: (A) no Default or
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; (B) in the case of casualty, less than forty percent (40%) of the Improvements has been damaged, or in the case of a taking, less than twenty-five percent (25%) of the Improvements has
been taken; (C) Lender determines, in its discretion, that there will be sufficient funds to complete the Restoration (including, without limitation, by means of a deposit of any shortfall by Borrower with Lender prior to the commencement of
the
45
Restoration or promptly upon Lenders determination that such a shortfall exists); (D) Lender determines, in its discretion, that the rental income from the Property after completion of
the Restoration will be sufficient to meet all operating costs and other expenses, deposits to the Impound Account, deposits to Reserves and loan repayment obligations relating to the Property and that the debt service coverage ratio after
Restoration will be the same as on the Closing Date and the ratio of the amount of the Loan to the value of the Property after Restoration will be the same as on the Closing Date; (E) Lender determines, in its discretion, that (1) the
Restoration will be completed before the earlier of (a) one year before the Scheduled Maturity Date or (b) one year after the date of the loss or casualty, and (2) the rent loss insurance or business interruption insurance referenced
in Section 4.4(f) will cover all payments due under the Loan during the completion of the Restoration; (F) the Ground Lease shall remain in full force and effect during the completion of the Restoration; (G) upon Lenders
request, Borrower provides Lender evidence of the availability during and after the Restoration of the insurance required to be maintained by Borrower pursuant to Section 4.4; and (H) Borrower provides Lender with written notice
within five (5) days after settlement of the aforesaid insurance or condemnation claim of its request to undertake a Restoration.
Unless Lender otherwise agrees in writing, any application of any insurance or condemnation awards or proceeds to the Debt
shall not extend or postpone the due date of any monthly installments referred to in the Note or the Loan Documents or change the amount of such installments. Borrower agrees to execute such further evidence of assignment of any insurance or
condemnation awards or proceeds as Lender may require. Any reduction in the Debt resulting from Lenders application of any sums received by it hereunder shall take effect only when Lender actually receives such sums and elects to apply such
sums to the Debt and, in any event, the unpaid portion of the Debt shall remain in full force and effect and Borrower shall not be excused in the payment thereof. Partial payments received by Lender, as described in the preceding sentence, shall be
applied first to the final principal payment due under the Note and thereafter to other principal installments due under the Note in the inverse order of their due date. If Borrower elects to effect or is otherwise required to effect a Restoration,
Borrower shall promptly and diligently, at Borrowers sole cost and expense and regardless of whether the insurance proceeds or condemnation award, as appropriate, shall be sufficient for the purpose, restore, repair, replace and rebuild the
Property as nearly as possible to its value, condition and character immediately prior to such casualty or partial taking in accordance with the foregoing provisions and Borrower shall pay to Lender all costs and expenses of Lender incurred in
administering said rebuilding, restoration or repair, provided that Lender makes such proceeds or award available for such purpose. Borrower agrees to execute and deliver from time to time such further instruments as may be requested by Lender to
confirm the foregoing assignment to Lender of any award, damage, insurance proceeds, payment or other compensation. Lender is hereby irrevocably constituted and appointed the attorney-in-fact of Borrower (which power of attorney shall be irrevocable
so long as any Debt is outstanding, shall be deemed coupled with an interest, shall survive the voluntary or involuntary dissolution of Borrower and shall not be affected by any disability or incapacity suffered by Borrower subsequent to the date
hereof), with full power of substitution, subject to the terms of this Section 4.7, to settle for, collect and receive any such awards, damages, insurance proceeds, payments or other compensation from the parties or authorities making
the same, to appear in and prosecute any proceedings therefor and to give receipts and acquittances therefor.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.7, if (I) Lender is a REMIC at the time when any
portion of the Property is the subject of a taking, condemnation, eminent domain or similar proceeding, and (II) immediately after giving effect to the related release (and taking into account any proposed Restoration), the loan-to-value ratio
(based solely on the value of real property, and excluding any personal property and/or going concern value, if any) shall be greater than one hundred twenty-five percent (125%), then an amount equal to the entire net proceeds (as defined in Revenue
Procedure 2010-30) of the taking, condemnation, eminent domain or similar proceeding must be applied
46
to the principal amount of the Debt (rather than to any other portion of the Debt) if and to the extent necessary for the Loan to remain a qualified mortgage in accordance with the
requirements applicable to a REMIC under Revenue Procedure 2010-30.
4.8 Mechanics Liens. Borrower shall pay when due all claims
and demands of mechanics, materialmen, laborers and others for any work performed or materials delivered for the Real Estate or Improvements; provided, however, that, Borrower shall have the right to contest in good faith any such
claim or demand, so long as it does so diligently, by appropriate proceedings and without prejudice to Lender, and provided that neither the Property nor any interest therein would be in any danger of sale, loss or forfeiture as a result of such
proceeding or contest. In the event Borrower shall contest any such claim or demand, Borrower shall promptly notify Lender of such contest and thereafter shall, upon Lenders request, promptly provide a bond, cash deposit or other security
satisfactory to Lender to protect Lenders interest and security should the contest be unsuccessful. If Borrower shall fail to immediately discharge or provide security against any such claim or demand as aforesaid, Lender may do so and any and
all expenses incurred by Lender, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date incurred by Lender until actually paid by Borrower, shall be immediately paid by Borrower on demand.
4.9 Assignment of Leases and Rents and Profits. As additional and
collateral security for the payment of the Debt and cumulative of any and all rights and remedies herein provided for, pursuant to the Mortgage and the Assignment of Leases the Borrower has assigned to Lender all existing and future Leases, and all
existing and future Rents and Profits.
4.10 Leases.
(a) Entering Into Leases. Borrower may enter into a proposed Lease
(which includes the renewal or extension of an existing Lease (a Renewal Lease)) without the prior written consent of Lender (except if required pursuant to Section 4.10(d) hereof) if such proposed Lease
(i) provides for rental rates and terms comparable to existing local market rates and terms (taking into account the type and quality of the tenant) as of the date such Lease is executed by Borrower (unless, in the case of a Renewal Lease, the
rent payable during such renewal, or a formula or other method to compute such rent, is provided for in the original Lease), (ii) is an arms-length transaction with a bona fide, independent third party tenant for occupancy by the lessee under
such Lease, (iii) does not have a materially adverse effect on the value of the Property taken as a whole, (iv) is subject and subordinate to the Mortgage, and obligates the lessee thereunder to attorn to Lender, or any designee, upon
transfer of title to the Property thereto, (v) does not contain any option or right of first refusal to purchase all or any portion of the Property, (vi) expressly provides that the portion of the Property demised thereby shall not be used
for a Prohibited Use, and (vii) is written on the standard form of lease which was either delivered to Lender simultaneously herewith or was subsequently approved by Lender, in either case with only immaterial variations from such standard
form. All proposed Leases which do not satisfy the requirements set forth in this Section 4.10(a) shall be subject to the prior approval of Lender and its counsel, at Borrowers expense (and, in conjunction therewith, Borrower shall
provide Lender with such information as Lender shall reasonably request with respect to such proposed Lease and the Tenant thereunder). Promptly upon entering into any Lease without Lenders approval pursuant to this
Section 4.10(a), Borrower shall promptly deliver to Lender a copy of such Lease, together with Borrowers certification that such Lease satisfies all of the conditions of this Section 4.10. Upon Lenders request,
Borrower shall deliver to Lender a true, correct and complete copy of each Lease then in effect.
(b) Covenants Regarding Leases. Borrower (i) shall observe and
perform all the obligations imposed upon the lessor under each Lease, and shall not do or permit to be done anything to impair the value of any Lease as security for the Debt; (ii) upon request (which request is hereby deemed given with respect
to any Major Lease), shall promptly send copies to Lender of all notices of default
47
which Borrower shall send or receive thereunder; (iii) shall enforce all of the material terms, covenants and conditions contained in each Lease upon the part of the Tenant thereunder to be
observed or performed; (iv) shall not collect any of the Rents and Profits more than one (1) month in advance (it being acknowledged that security deposits shall not be deemed Rents and Profits collected in advance); and (v) shall not
execute any other assignment of the lessors interest in any of the Leases or the Rents and Profits (other than to Lender as security for the Debt), in each case without the prior written consent of Lender. Within 30 days after
Lenders request therefor (which request, other than a request for a Tenant estoppel certificate pursuant to Section 4.29 hereof, shall not be made more than twice in any calendar year absent an Event of Default), Borrower shall deliver to
Lender an estoppel certificate from each Tenant.
(c) Amendments to
Leases. Provided no Default exists hereunder, Borrower may, without the prior written consent of Lender (except if required pursuant to Section 4.10(d) hereof), amend, modify or waive the provisions of any Lease or terminate, reduce
rents under, accept a surrender of space under, shorten the term of, consent to any assignment of, or consent to the subletting of any portion of the premises demised pursuant to any Lease (including any guaranty, letter of credit or other credit
support with respect thereto) (any of the foregoing, a Lease Modification), provided that (i) such Lease Modification (taking into account, in the case of a termination, reduction in rent, surrender of space or shortening of
term, the planned alternative use of the affected space) does not have a materially adverse effect on the value of the Property taken as a whole, (ii) such Lease Modification is in the normal course of business and is consistent with sound and
customary leasing and management practices for similar properties in the community in which the Property is located, and (iii) such Lease, as amended, modified or waived, is otherwise in compliance with the requirements of this Agreement and
any subordination agreement binding upon Lender with respect to such Lease. A termination of a Lease with a Tenant who is in default beyond applicable notice and grace periods shall not be considered an action which has a materially adverse effect
on the value of the Property taken as a whole. Any Lease Modification which does not satisfy the requirements set forth in this Section 4.10(c) shall be subject to the prior approval of Lender and its counsel, at Borrowers expense
(and, in conjunction therewith, Borrower shall provide Lender with such information as Lender shall reasonably request with respect to such proposed Lease Modification and the Tenant under the Lease affected thereby). Promptly upon entering into any
Lease Modification without Lenders approval pursuant to this Section 4.10(c), Borrower shall deliver to Lender a copy of such instrument, together with Borrowers certification that such instrument satisfies all of the
conditions of this Section 4.10.
(d) Major Leases.
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Borrower shall not, without the prior written consent of Lender, enter into, renew, extend, amend, modify, waive any provisions of, terminate, reduce rents under, accept a surrender of space
under, shorten the term of, consent to any assignment of, or consent to the subletting of any portion of the premises demised pursuant to any Major Lease.
(e) Security Deposits. All security deposits of Tenants, whether held
in cash or in any other form, shall be held in compliance with applicable law. All such security deposits shall not be commingled with any other funds of Borrower or any other Person. Any bond or other instrument which Borrower is permitted to hold
in lieu of cash security deposits under any applicable legal requirements (i) shall be maintained in full force and effect in the full amount of such deposits unless replaced by cash deposits as hereinabove described; (ii) shall be issued
by an institution reasonably satisfactory to Lender; (iii) shall, if permitted pursuant to any applicable legal requirements, name Lender as payee or mortgagee thereunder or, at Lenders option, be assigned or fully assignable to Lender;
and (iv) shall, in all respects, comply with any applicable legal requirements and otherwise be reasonably satisfactory to Lender. Borrower shall, upon request, provide Lender with evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender of Borrowers
compliance with the foregoing. Upon an Event of Default, Borrower shall, immediately upon Lenders request (if permitted by applicable law), deliver to Lender the security deposits (and any interest previously earned thereon and not disbursed
to the person(s) lawfully entitled to receive same) with respect to all or any portion of the Property, to be held by Lender subject to the terms of the Leases.
48
(f) Tenant Financial
Information. Borrower shall cause each Lease entered into on or after the date hereof which, if all Tenants paid all rents as and when due under their respective Leases, would yield one-quarter or more of the aggregate rental income of the
Property (a Major Income Lease) to require the Tenant under such Lease to deliver to Borrower periodic operating statements with respect to (i) such Tenants operations at the Property, and (ii) the operations of
such Tenant and, if applicable, any parent or affiliated entity of such Tenant which operates, or has subsidiaries that operate, comparable businesses (collectively, Tenant Financial Information). Notwithstanding the provisions of
Section 4.10(a) above, any Major Income Lease entered into after the date hereof which does not require the Tenant to provide Tenant Financial Information upon request shall require the prior written approval of Lender. Borrower shall,
from time to time promptly upon request of Lender, request Tenant Financial Information from the Tenant under each Major Income Lease (and use all commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such Tenant Financial Information), and promptly upon
receipt thereof, deliver such Tenant Financial Information to Lender; provided, however, that (1) prior to a Secondary Market Transaction consisting of a securitization, Lender shall not require Borrower to request Tenant
Financial Information more than three (3) times, and (2) following a Secondary Market Transaction consisting of a securitization, provided that no Event of Default is continuing, Lender shall not request such information without reasonable
cause (which reasonable cause shall include, without limitation, the occurrence of any default by the Tenant under a Major Income Lease or if such Tenant ceases to conduct its business in the premises demised by such Major Income Lease).
4.11 Restrictions on Alienation and Further Encumbrances.
(a) Borrower acknowledges that Lender has relied upon the principals of
Borrower and their experience in owning and operating properties similar to the Property in connection with the closing of the Loan. Accordingly, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 8.6 hereof, neither the
Property, nor any part thereof or interest therein, shall be sold, conveyed, disposed of, alienated, hypothecated, leased (except to Tenants under Leases which are not in violation of Section 4.10), assigned, pledged, mortgaged, further
encumbered or otherwise transferred, nor shall Borrower be divested of its title to the Property or any interest therein, in any manner or way, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, nor shall Borrower enter into or subject the Property to any PACE
Loan (any of the foregoing, a Transfer), in each case without the prior written consent of Lender being first obtained, which consent may be withheld in Lenders sole discretion. For the avoidance of doubt and without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the forgoing sentence is intended by the parties to prevent Borrower from encumbering (other than in favor of lender pursuant to Section 4.31(f) hereof) any
fee interest in any portion of the premises subject to the Ground Lease that may hereafter be acquired by Borrower without Lenders prior written consent, which consent may be withheld in Lenders sole discretion. For the purposes of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents, a Transfer shall also include (and each of the following shall also be prohibited without the prior written consent of Lender being first obtained in each case, which consent may be withheld in Lenders
sole discretion): (i) transfers of direct or indirect ownership interests in Borrower, and the creation of new or additional ownership interests in Borrower, or in any Constituent Entity of Borrower, (ii) an installment sales agreement
with respect to the Property or any portion thereof, (iii) a Lease of all or substantially all of the Property other than for actual occupancy by a space tenant thereunder, (iv) any sale or assignment of any of Borrowers right, title
and interest in, to and under any Leases or Rents and Profits, other than to Lender, (v) if Borrower or any Constituent Entity of Borrower is a partnership or joint venture, the addition, change, removal or resignation of any general partner,
or the transfer or pledge of any interest (whether as a general partner or limited partner) of any general partner in such partnership, and (vi) if Borrower or any Constituent Entity of Borrower is a limited liability company, the addition,
change,
49
removal or resignation of any manager or managing member, or the transfer or pledge of any interest (whether as a managing member or otherwise) of such manager or managing member in such limited
liability company, or the transfer of control (as defined in Section 4.27) of such manager or managing member.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, Lender
shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to the sale of the Property in its entirety (hereinafter, Sale) to a single-purpose entity that complies with the requirements of Section 4.27 of this Agreement and is
otherwise reasonably acceptable to Lender (such transferee, hereinafter, a Buyer) provided that such Sale occurs after the earlier to occur of a Secondary Market Transaction and the date that is two (2) years after the date
of this Agreement, and each of the following terms and conditions are satisfied in connection with such Sale:
(1) No Event of Default is then continuing;
(2) Borrower gives Lender written notice of the terms of such prospective Sale
not less than thirty (30) days before the date on which such Sale is scheduled to close, accompanied by all information concerning the proposed Buyer as Lender would require in evaluating an initial extension of credit to a borrower and a
non-refundable application fee in the amount of $2,500.00. Lender shall have the right to approve or disapprove the proposed Buyer in its reasonable discretion (it being acknowledged that Lender may, as a condition to approving any proposed Buyer,
require a Rating Confirmation with respect to such Sale and satisfaction of any conditions applicable thereto pursuant to the Securitization Documents), and such approval, if given, may be given subject to such conditions as Lender may deem
appropriate;
(3) Borrower pays Lender, concurrently with the closing of
such Sale, a non-refundable assumption fee in an amount equal to all out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including, without limitation, attorneys fees, incurred by Lender in connection with the Sale plus an amount equal to one half of one
percent (0.5%) of the outstanding principal balance of the Note for the first Sale and thereafter an amount equal to one percent (1.0%) of the then outstanding principal balance of the Note;
(4) Buyer assumes and agrees to pay the Debt (subject to the provisions of
Section 8.16 hereof) and, prior to or concurrently with the closing of such Sale, the Buyer executes, without any cost or expense to Lender, such documents and agreements as Lender shall reasonably require to evidence and effectuate said
assumption (together with causing to be filed such new financing statements and/or financing statement amendments as Lender may require) and delivers such legal opinions as Lender may require, all in such reasonable and customary form as Lender may
require;
(5) Borrower causes to be delivered to Lender, without any cost
or expense to Lender, such endorsements to Lenders title insurance policy, hazard insurance endorsements or certificates and other similar materials as are generally required for comparable transactions, all in form and substance satisfactory
to Lender, including, without limitation, an endorsement or endorsements to Lenders title insurance policy insuring the lien of the Mortgage, extending the effective date of such policy to the date of execution and delivery (or, if later, of
recording) of the assumption agreement referenced above in subparagraph (4) of this Section, with no additional exceptions added to such policy and insuring that title to the Property is vested in the Buyer with no exceptions not included in
the Title Insurance Policy or approved by Lender in accordance with this Agreement;
(6) Borrower and Guarantor each executes and delivers to Lender, without any
cost or expense to Lender, a release of Lender, its officers, directors, employees and agents, from all claims and liability relating to the transactions evidenced by the Loan Documents through and including the date of the closing of the Sale,
which agreement shall be in form and substance satisfactory to Lender and shall be binding upon the Buyer;
50
(7) Subject to the provisions of
Section 8.16 hereof, such Sale is not construed so as to relieve Borrower of any personal liability under the Note or any of the other Loan Documents for any acts or events occurring or obligations arising prior to or simultaneously with
the closing of such Sale and Borrower executes, without any cost or expense to Lender, such documents and agreements as Lender shall reasonably require to evidence and effectuate the ratification of said personal liability. Borrower shall be
released from and relieved of any personal liability under the Note or any of the other Loan Documents for any acts or events occurring or obligations arising after the closing of such Sale which are not caused by or arising out of any acts or
events occurring or obligations arising prior to or simultaneously with the closing of such Sale;
(8) Such Sale is not construed so as to relieve any Guarantor of its
obligations under any Loan Document, and a Constituent Entity of the Buyer approved by Lender in its sole discretion (a Successor Guarantor) assumes the obligations of such Guarantor and executes such documents as may be required
by Lender to evidence such assumption. Each Guarantor shall be released from and relieved of any of its obligations under any Loan Document for any acts or events occurring or obligations arising after the closing of such Sale which are not caused
by or arising out of any acts or events occurring or obligations arising prior to or simultaneously with the closing of such Sale;
(9) Buyer has furnished to Lender all appropriate instruments evidencing the
Buyers capacity and good standing, and the authority of the signers to execute the assumption of the Loan Documents and the Debt, which papers shall include certified copies of all documents relating to the organization and formation of the
Buyer and of the entities, if any, which are Constituent Entities of the Buyer, all of which shall be satisfactory to Lender and which, inter alia, shall satisfy the requirements of Section 4.27 hereof;
(10) Buyer shall assume the obligations of Borrower under any management agreements
pertaining to the Property, or shall cause the new manager and management agreement to satisfy the requirements of Section 4.24 hereof;
(11) The Ground Lease shall have been assigned to and assumed by the Buyer, and the Ground
Lessor has consented in writing thereto pursuant to the terms of the Ground Lease; and
(12) Buyer shall furnish an opinion of counsel satisfactory to Lender that the acquisition
of the Property and the assumption of the Loan Documents and Debt by Buyer and, to the extent applicable, Successor Guarantor, was validly authorized, and duly executed and delivered, and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligations of Buyer
and Successor Guarantor, enforceable against each of them in accordance with their respective terms, and with respect to such other matters as Lender may reasonably require.
Upon the delivery of such assumption agreement by the Buyer, and the assumption by the Successor Guarantor of the obligations of the
Guarantor, Loan Documents as used herein and in each Loan Document shall include such Loan Document as assumed by Buyer and/or Successor Guarantor, as applicable (together with such assumption agreements and any other instruments
delivered to or for the benefit of Lender in connection with such Sale).
51

to the extent provided to the contrary in the Loan Documents, all Rents and Profits generated by or derived from the Property shall first be utilized solely for current expenses directly attributable to the ownership and operation of the Property,
including, without limitation, current expenses relating to Borrowers liabilities and obligations with respect to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and none of the Rents and Profits generated by or derived from the Property shall be

nature, or assessments payable pursuant to any restrictive covenants, whether public or private, affecting the Real Estate and/or the Improvements or any portion thereof, whether or not such assessments or charges are or may become liens thereon.
4.13 Access Privileges and Inspections. Lender and the agents, representatives
and employees of Lender shall, subject to the rights of Tenants, have full and free access to the Real Estate and the Improvements and any other location where books and records concerning the Property are kept at all reasonable times for the

remedies of Lender contained herein, Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, to obtain the same by means of an audit by an independent certified public accountant selected by Lender, in which event Borrower agrees to pay, or to
reimburse Lender for, any expense of such audit and further agrees to provide all necessary information to said accountant and to otherwise cooperate in the making of such audit.
4.17 Further Documentation. Borrower shall, on the request of Lender and at
the expense of Borrower, promptly: (a) correct any defect, error or omission which may be discovered in the contents of this Agreement or in the contents of any of the other Loan Documents; (b) execute, acknowledge, deliver
55
and record or file such further instruments (including, without limitation, further mortgages, deeds of trust, security deeds, security agreements, financing statements, continuation statements
and assignments of rents or leases) and promptly do such further acts as may be necessary, desirable or proper to carry out more effectively the purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to subject to the liens and security

hereunder against the rights or interests of third persons; and (d) furnish to Lender, upon Lenders request, a duly acknowledged written statement and estoppel certificate addressed to such party or parties as directed by Lender and in
form and substance supplied by Lender, setting forth all amounts due under the Note, stating whether any Default or Event of Default exists, stating whether any offsets or defenses exist against the Debt, affirming that the Loan Documents are the
legal, valid and binding obligations of Borrower, and containing such other matters as Lender may reasonably require.
4.18 Payment of Costs; Reimbursement to Lender. Borrower shall pay all costs and
expenses of every character incurred in connection with the closing of the Loan or otherwise attributable or chargeable to Borrower as the owner of the Property, including, without limitation, appraisal fees, recording fees, documentary, stamp,
mortgage or intangible taxes, brokerage fees and commissions, title policy premiums and title search fees, public records search fees, escrow fees and attorneys fees (including, without limitation, Lenders attorneys fees and
expenses). Borrower shall pay to Lender any and all reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys fees) in connection with any matter for which the consent or approval of Lender is required (or which is
required to be delivered to Lender for review and/or approval) pursuant to the Loan Documents. If Borrower defaults in any such payment, which default is not cured within any applicable grace or cure period, Lender may pay the same and Borrower
shall reimburse Lender on demand for all such costs and expenses incurred or paid by Lender, together with such interest thereon at the Default Rate from and after the date of Lenders making such payment until reimbursement thereof by
Borrower. Further, Borrower shall promptly notify Lender in writing of any litigation or threatened litigation affecting the Property, or any other demand or claim which, if enforced, could impair or threaten to impair Lenders security
hereunder. Without limiting or waiving any other rights and remedies of Lender hereunder, if any action or proceeding of any kind (including, but not limited to, any bankruptcy, insolvency, arrangement, reorganization or other debtor relief
proceeding) is commenced which might affect Lenders interest in the Property or Lenders right to enforce its security, or upon the occurrence of any other Event of Default, then Lender may, at its option, with or without notice to
Borrower, make any appearances, disburse any sums and take any actions as may be necessary or desirable to protect or enforce the security of this Agreement, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents or to remedy such Event of Default (without,
however, waiving any Default). Borrower agrees to pay on demand all expenses of Lender incurred with respect to the foregoing (including, but not limited to, reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel), together with interest thereon at the
Default Rate from and after the date on which Lender incurs such expenses until reimbursement thereof by Borrower. The necessity for any such actions and of the amounts to be paid shall be determined by Lender in its discretion. Lender is hereby
empowered to enter and to authorize others to enter upon the Property or any part thereof for the purpose of performing or observing any such defaulted term, covenant or condition without thereby becoming liable to Borrower or any person in
possession holding under Borrower. Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that the remedies set forth in this Section 4.18 shall be exercisable by Lender, and any and all payments made or costs or expenses incurred by Lender in
connection therewith shall, without demand, immediately be repaid by Borrower with interest thereon at the Default Rate, notwithstanding the fact that such remedies were exercised and such payments made and costs incurred by Lender after the filing
by Borrower of a voluntary case or the filing against Borrower of an involuntary case pursuant to or within the meaning of
56
the Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1978, as amended, Title 11 U.S.C., or after any similar action pursuant to any other debtor relief law (whether statutory, common law, case law or otherwise) of any
jurisdiction whatsoever, now or hereafter, in effect, which may be or become applicable to Borrower, Lender, any Guarantor, the Debt or any of the Loan Documents. Borrower hereby indemnifies and holds Lender harmless from and against all loss, cost
and expenses with respect to any Default hereof, any liens (i.e., judgments, mechanics and materialmens liens, or otherwise), charges and encumbrances filed against the Property, and from any claims and demands for damages or injury,
including claims for property damage, personal injury or wrongful death, arising out of or in connection with any accident or fire or other casualty on the Real Estate or the Improvements or any nuisance made or suffered thereon, including, in any
case, attorneys fees, costs and expenses as aforesaid, whether at pretrial, trial or appellate level, and such indemnity shall survive payment in full of the Debt. This Section 4.18 shall not be construed to require Lender to incur
any expenses, make any appearances or take any actions.
4.19 Security Interest and
Security Agreement. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the Mortgage is also a security agreement under the Uniform Commercial Code for the UCC Collateral.
4.20 Easements and Rights-of-Way. Borrower shall not grant any easement or
right-of-way with respect to all or any portion of the Real Estate or the Improvements without the prior written consent of Lender. The purchaser at any foreclosure sale under the Mortgage may, at its discretion, disaffirm any easement or
right-of-way granted in violation of any of the provisions of this Agreement and may take immediate possession of the Property free from, and despite the terms of, such grant of easement or right-of-way. If Lender consents to the grant of an
easement or right-of-way, Lender agrees to grant such consent provided that Lender is paid a standard review fee together with all other expenses, including, without limitation, attorneys fees, incurred by Lender in the review of
Borrowers request and in the preparation of documents effecting the subordination. Borrower shall at all times comply with all easement agreements, reciprocal easement agreements, declarations, restrictive covenants and any other similar types
of agreements now or hereafter affecting the Property, and Borrower shall not amend, modify or terminate any such easement agreements, reciprocal easement agreements, declarations, restrictive covenants or any other similar types of agreements
without Lenders prior written consent.
4.21 Compliance with Laws.
Borrower shall at all times comply with all Applicable Laws, even if such compliance shall require structural changes to the Property. Borrower may, upon providing Lender with security satisfactory to Lender, proceed diligently and in good faith to
contest the validity or applicability of any Applicable Law so long as the Property shall not be subject to any lien, charge, fine or other liability, and shall not be in danger of being forfeited, lost or closed, during or as a result of such
contest. Borrower shall not alter the Property in any manner that would materially increase Borrowers responsibilities for compliance with Applicable Laws without the prior approval of Lender. Borrower shall not use or occupy, or allow the use
or occupancy of, the Property in any manner which violates any Lease or any Applicable Law or which constitutes a public or private nuisance or which makes void, voidable or cancelable, or increases the premium of, any insurance then in force with
respect thereto. Borrower shall, from time to time, upon Lenders request, provide Lender with evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that the Property complies with all Applicable Laws. Borrower shall keep all material licenses, permits,
franchises, certificates of occupancy, consents and other approvals necessary for the operation of the Property in full force and effect.
4.22 Additional Taxes. In the event of the enactment after this date of any law of
the State where the Real Estate is located or of any other governmental entity deducting from the value of the Property for the purpose of taxation any lien or security interest thereon, or imposing upon Lender the payment of the whole or any part
of the taxes required to be paid by Borrower, or changing in any way the laws relating to the taxation of mortgages or security agreements or debts secured by mortgages or security agreements or the interest of lenders or secured parties in the
property covered thereby, or the
57
manner of collection of such taxes, so as to adversely affect this Agreement, the Mortgage or the Debt or Lender, then, and in any such event, Borrower, upon demand by Lender, shall pay such
Taxes or Other Charges, or reimburse Lender therefor; provided, however, that if in the opinion of counsel for Lender (a) it might be unlawful to require Borrower to make such payment, or (b) the making of such payment might
result in the imposition of interest beyond the maximum amount permitted by law, then and in either such event, Lender may elect, by notice in writing given to Borrower, to declare all of the Debt to be and become due and payable in full thirty
(30) days from the giving of such notice.
4.23 Borrowers
Waivers.
(a) To the full extent permitted by applicable law, Borrower
shall not at any time insist upon, plead, claim or take the benefit or advantage of any law now or hereafter in force providing for any appraisement, valuation, stay, moratorium or extension, or any law now or hereafter in force providing for the
reinstatement of the Debt prior to any sale of the Property to be made pursuant to any provisions contained herein or prior to the entering of any decree, judgment or order of any court of competent jurisdiction, or any right under any statute to
redeem all or any part of the Property so sold. Borrower, for Borrower and Borrowers successors and assigns, and for any and all Persons ever claiming any interest in the Property, to the full extent permitted by law, hereby knowingly,
intentionally and voluntarily with and upon the advice of competent counsel: (i) waives, releases, relinquishes and forever forgoes all rights of valuation, appraisement, stay of execution, reinstatement and notice of election or intention to
mature or declare due the Debt (except such notices as are specifically provided for herein); (ii) waives, releases, relinquishes and forever forgoes all right to a marshalling of the assets of Borrower, including the Property, to a sale in the
inverse order of alienation, or to direct the order in which any of the Property shall be sold in the event of foreclosure of the liens and security interests hereby created and agrees that any court having jurisdiction to foreclose such liens and
security interests may order the Property sold as an entirety; and (iii) waives, releases, relinquishes and forever forgoes all rights and periods of redemption provided under applicable law. To the full extent permitted by law, Borrower shall
not have or assert any right under any statute or rule of law pertaining to the exemption of homestead or other exemption under any federal, state or local law now or hereafter in effect, the administration of estates of decedents or other matters
whatever to defeat, reduce or affect the right of Lender under the terms of this Agreement, the Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents to a sale of the Property, for the collection of the Debt without any prior or different resort for
collection, or the right of Lender under the terms of this Agreement, the Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents to the payment of the Debt out of the proceeds of sale of the Property in preference to every other claimant whatever. Further,
Borrower hereby knowingly, intentionally and voluntarily, with and upon the advice of competent counsel, waives, releases, relinquishes and forever forgoes all present and future statutes of limitations as a defense to any action to enforce the
provisions of this Agreement, the Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents or to collect any of the Debt the fullest extent permitted by law. Borrower covenants and agrees that upon the commencement of a voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy
proceeding by or against Borrower, Borrower shall not seek a supplemental stay or otherwise shall not seek pursuant to 11 U.S.C. §105 or any other provision of the Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1978, as amended, or any other debtor relief law
(whether statutory, common law, case law, or otherwise) of any jurisdiction whatsoever, now or hereafter in effect, which may be or become applicable, to stay, interdict, condition, reduce or inhibit the ability of Lender to enforce any rights of
Lender against any Guarantor of the secured obligations or any other party liable with respect thereto by virtue of any indemnity, guaranty or otherwise.
(b) Except as may be specifically provided in the Loan Documents, Borrower
waives presentment and demand for payment, notice of intent to accelerate maturity, notice of acceleration of maturity, protest and notice of protest and non-payment, all applicable exemption rights, valuation and appraisement, notice of demand, and
all other notices in connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance, default or enforcement of the payment of the Note and this Agreement and the bringing of
58
suit and diligence in taking any action to collect any sums owing under the Note or hereunder or in proceeding against any of the rights and collateral securing payment hereof. Borrower agrees
(i) that the time for any payments under the Note or hereunder may be extended from time to time without notice and consent, (ii) to the acceptance by Lender of further collateral, (iii) the release by Lender of any existing
collateral for the payment of the Note or the payments due under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, (iv) to any and all renewals, waivers or modifications that may be granted by Lender with respect to the payment or other
provisions of the Note, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and/or (v) that additional Persons may become parties hereto or the other Loan Documents all without notice to Borrower and without in any manner affecting
Borrowers obligations or liabilities under or with respect to the Note, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. No extension of time for the payment of the Note or the payments due under this Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents or any installment thereof or hereof shall affect the obligations or liabilities of Borrower under the Note, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents even if Borrower is not a party to such agreement.
(c) Failure of Lender to exercise any of the options or remedies granted
herein to Lender upon the happening of one or more of the events giving rise to such options or remedies shall not constitute a waiver of the right to exercise the same or any other option or remedy at any subsequent time in respect to the same or
any other event. The acceptance by Lender of any payment hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents that is less than payment in full of all amounts due and payable at the time of such payment shall not constitute a waiver of the right to
exercise any of the options or remedies granted herein or under any of the other Loan Documents to Lender at that time or at any subsequent time or nullify any prior exercise of any such option or remedy without the express written acknowledgment of
the Lender.
4.24 Management.
(a) The management of the Property (including, without limitation, property
management, leasing brokerage and/or asset management services) shall be performed by one or more of the following: (i) an entity affiliated with Borrower approved by Lender for so long as Borrower or said affiliated entity is managing the
Property in a first class manner; and/or (ii) a professional property management company approved by Lender, and in either case pursuant to a written agreement (a Property Management Agreement) approved by Lender. As of the
date hereof, the entity named in this Agreement as Property Manager is the only entity responsible for management of the Property as aforesaid. In no event shall any Property Manager be removed, replaced or retained, or any Property
Management Agreement entered into, modified or amended, in each case without the prior written consent of Lender, which shall not unreasonably be withheld. After an Event of Default hereunder or a default under any Property Management Agreement then
in effect, which default is not cured within any applicable grace or cure period, Lender shall have the right to terminate, or to direct Borrower to terminate, such Property Management Agreement upon thirty (30) days notice and to retain,
or to direct Borrower to retain, a new Property Manager approved by Lender. It shall be a condition of Lenders consent to any Property Management Agreement, whether with an affiliate of Borrower or a professional property management company,
that such Property Manager enter into an agreement with Lender whereby the manager acknowledges and agrees to the aforesaid rights of Lender, and as to such other matters as Lender may require.
(b) Borrower has delivered to Lender a true, correct and complete copy of each
Contract now in effect. Borrower will comply with all of its obligations under all Contracts which are material to the operation of the Property in accordance with Borrowers current practice, and with all material obligations under all other
Contracts. Without limiting the restrictions set forth in Section 4.24(a) pertaining to the Property Management Agreement, Borrower may not terminate any other Contract that
59
is material to the operation of the Property, or enter into any amendment thereto that makes the terms thereof less favorable to Borrower, in each case without the prior written consent of
Lender, which shall not unreasonably be withheld; provided, however, that if the other party to such Contract is in default thereunder, and Borrower can replace the goods or services provided on terms not materially disadvantageous to
Borrower, then the prior written consent of Lender shall not be required to terminate such Contract. Borrower shall perform its obligations under each Contract and each of the General Intangibles, except where Borrowers failure to do so would
not have a material adverse effect on Borrower or the Property. Borrower represents that its interest under each Contract, and each General Intangible, is not subject to any claim, setoff, lien, deduction or encumbrance of any nature, other than
that created by the Loan Documents. At any time during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action as Lender may determine to be reasonably necessary to protect the rights of Borrower under any
or all of the Contracts and/or the General Intangibles. Should Lender, or Lenders designee, acquire the Property (whether pursuant to exercise of Lenders remedies hereunder or by transfer in lieu thereof), Lender may elect to assume
Borrowers interests under any or all of the Contracts or General Intangibles as Lender shall determine, and Borrower shall cause to be terminated, without obligation to Lender or the successor owner of the Property, such other Contracts and/or
General Intangibles as Lender may direct.
4.25 Hazardous Waste and Other
Substances.
(a) Borrower hereby represents and warrants to Lender
that, as of the date hereof, except as disclosed in writing to Lender: (i) to the best of Borrowers knowledge, information and belief, except as expressly set forth in the Environmental Report, the Property is not in direct or indirect
violation of any Environmental Laws; (ii) to the best of Borrowers knowledge, information and belief, except as expressly set forth in the Environmental Report, no Hazardous Substances are located on or have been handled, generated,

all Environmental Laws; (iii) the Property is not subject to any private or governmental lien or judicial or administrative notice or action relating to Hazardous Substances; (iv) to the best of Borrowers knowledge, information and
belief, except as expressly set forth in the Environmental Report, there are no existing or closed underground storage tanks or other underground storage receptacles for Hazardous Substances on the Property; (v) Borrower has received no notice
of, and to the best of Borrowers knowledge and belief, there exists no investigation, action, proceeding or claim by any agency, authority or unit of government or by any third party which could result in any liability, penalty, sanction or
judgment under any Environmental Laws with respect to any condition, use or operation of the Property nor does Borrower know of any basis for such a claim; and (vi) Borrower has received no notice of and, to the best of Borrowers
knowledge and belief, there has been no claim by any party that any use, operation or condition of the Property has caused any nuisance or any other liability or adverse condition on any other property nor does Borrower know of any basis for such a
claim.
(b) Borrower shall keep or cause the Property to be kept free from
Hazardous Substances (except those substances used by Borrower and Tenants in the ordinary course of their respective business and, in each case, in compliance with all Environmental Laws and in a manner that does not result in contamination of the
Property) and in compliance with all Environmental Laws, shall not install or use any underground storage tanks, shall expressly prohibit the use, generation, handling, storage, production, processing and disposal of Hazardous Substances by all
Tenants (except in the ordinary course of a business that is not a Prohibited Use and in each case in compliance with all Environmental Laws and in a manner that does not result in contamination of the Property) and, without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, shall not install in the Improvements or permit to be installed in the Improvements asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) or any substance containing ACMs. Borrower
60

Lender if Borrower shall become aware of the possible existence of any Hazardous Substances on the Property (except to the extent used in the ordinary course of a business that is not a Prohibited Use and in each case in compliance with all
Environmental Laws and in a manner that does not result in contamination of the Property) or if Borrower shall become aware that the Property is or may be in direct or indirect violation of any Environmental Laws. Further, immediately upon receipt
of the same, Borrower shall deliver to Lender copies of any and all orders, notices, permits, applications, reports, and other communications, documents and instruments pertaining to the actual, alleged or potential presence or existence of any
Hazardous Substances at, on, about, under, within, near or in connection with the Property. Borrower shall, promptly and when and as required by Lender, at Borrowers sole cost and expense, take all actions as shall be necessary or advisable
for the clean-up of any and all portions of the Property or other affected property, including, without limitation, all investigative, monitoring, removal, containment and remedial actions in accordance with all applicable Environmental Laws (and in
all events in a manner satisfactory to Lender), and shall further pay or cause to be paid, at no expense to Lender, all clean-up, administrative and enforcement costs of applicable governmental agencies which may be asserted against the Property; in
the event Borrower fails to take such actions, (i) Lender may, but shall not be obligated to, cause the Property or other affected property to be freed from any Hazardous Substances or otherwise brought into conformance with Environmental Laws
and any and all costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection therewith, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date incurred by Lender until actually paid by Borrower, shall be immediately paid by Borrower on demand, and
(ii) Borrower hereby grants to Lender and its agents and employees access to the Property and a license to remove any items deemed by Lender to be Hazardous Substances and to do all things Lender shall deem necessary to bring the Property in
conformance with Environmental Laws. Borrower covenants and agrees, at Borrowers sole cost and expense, to indemnify, defend (at trial and appellate levels, and with attorneys, consultants and experts acceptable to Lender), and hold Lender
harmless from and against any and all liens, damages, losses, liabilities, obligations, settlement payments, penalties, assessments, citations, directives, claims, litigation, demands, defenses, judgments, suits, proceedings, costs, disbursements or
expenses of any kind or of any nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys, consultants and experts fees and disbursements actually incurred in investigating, defending, settling or prosecuting any claim,
litigation or proceeding) which may at any time be imposed upon, incurred by or asserted or awarded against Lender or the Property, and arising directly or indirectly from or out of: (A) the presence, release or threat of release of any
Hazardous Substances on, in, under or affecting all or any portion of the Property or (to the extent such Hazardous Substances were released from, or migrated from, the Property) any surrounding areas, regardless of whether or not caused by or
within the control of Borrower; (B) the violation of any Environmental Laws relating to or affecting the Property, whether or not caused by or within the control of Borrower; (C) the failure by Borrower to comply fully with the terms and
conditions of this Section 4.25; (D) the breach of any representation or warranty contained in this Section 4.25; or (E) the enforcement of this Section 4.25, including, without limitation, the cost of

actions taken in response to the presence, release or threat of release of any Hazardous Substances on, in, under or affecting any portion of the Property or (to the extent such Hazardous Substances were released from, or migrated from, the
Property) any surrounding areas to prevent or minimize such release or threat of release so that it does not migrate or otherwise cause or threaten danger to present or future public health, safety, welfare or the environment, and costs incurred to
comply with the Environmental Laws in connection with all or any portion of the Property or any surrounding areas. The indemnity set forth in this Section 4.25(c) shall also include any diminution in the
61
value of the security afforded by the Property or any future reduction in the sales price of the Property by reason of any matter set forth in this Section 4.25(c). Lenders
rights under this Section 4.25(c) shall survive payment in full of the Debt and shall be in addition to all other rights of Lender under this Agreement, the Mortgage, the Note and the other Loan Documents.
(d) Upon Lenders request, at any time during the continuance of an Event
of Default or at such other time as Lender has reasonable grounds to believe that Hazardous Substances are or have been released, stored or disposed of on or around the Property or that the Property may be in violation of the Environmental Laws,
Borrower shall provide, at Borrowers sole cost and expense, an inspection or audit of the Property prepared by a hydrogeologist or environmental engineer or other appropriate consultant approved by Lender indicating the presence or absence of
Hazardous Substances on the Property or an inspection or audit of the Improvements prepared by an engineering or consulting firm approved by Lender indicating the presence or absence of friable asbestos or substances containing asbestos on the
Property. If Borrower fails to provide such inspection or audit within thirty (30) days after such request, Lender may order the same, and Borrower hereby grants to Lender and its employees and agents access to the Property and a license to
undertake such inspection or audit. The cost of such inspection or audit, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date incurred by Lender until actually paid by Borrower, shall be immediately due and payable to Lender by Borrower
on demand.
(e) The obligations of Borrower under this Agreement
(including, without limitation, this Section 4.25) with respect to Hazardous Substances shall not in any way limit the obligations of any party under the Hazardous Substances Indemnity.

expenses (including Lenders reasonable attorneys fees, together with reasonable appellate counsel fees, if any) of whatever kind or nature which may be asserted against, imposed on or incurred by Lender in connection with the Debt, this
Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Property, or any part thereof, or the exercise by Lender of any rights or remedies granted to it under this Agreement; provided, however, that nothing herein shall be construed to obligate

Lenders willful misconduct or gross negligence.
(b) If Lender is
made a party defendant to any litigation or any claim is threatened or brought against Lender concerning the Debt, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Property, or any part thereof, or any interest therein, or the construction,

reasonable appellate counsel fees, if any) and expenses incurred by Lender in any such litigation or claim, whether or not any such litigation or claim is prosecuted to judgment. If Lender commences an action against Borrower to enforce any of the
terms hereof or to prosecute any breach by Borrower of any of the terms hereof or of any of the other Loan Documents, Borrower shall pay to Lender its reasonable attorneys fees (together with reasonable appellate counsel fees, if any) and
expenses. The right to such attorneys fees (together with reasonable appellate counsel fees, if any) and expenses shall be deemed to have accrued on the commencement of such action, and shall be enforceable whether or not such action is
prosecuted to judgment. If Borrower breaches any term of this Agreement, Lender may engage the services of an attorney or attorneys to protect its rights hereunder, and in the event of such engagement following any
62
breach by Borrower, Borrower shall pay Lender reasonable attorneys fees (together with reasonable appellate counsel fees, if any) and expenses incurred by Lender, whether or not an action

Lenders in-house counsel, and all references to fees and expenses in this Section 4.26 and elsewhere in this Agreement shall include without limitation any fees of such attorney or law firm and any allocation charges
and allocation costs of Lenders in-house counsel. The rights of Lender and obligations of Borrower under this section shall survive the foreclosure of the Mortgage and/or the repayment of the Debt. The rights of Lender under this section shall
inure to the benefit of all current and future holders of all or any portion of the Loan from time to time, and shall continue to inure to the benefit of any such holder even after any such holder transfers its interest in the Loan (it being
acknowledged, for purposes of clarification, that in connection with any transfer of a holders interest in the Loan, that such rights shall continue to inure to the benefit of both the transferor and transferee of such interest in the Loan).
(c) A waiver of subrogation shall be obtained by Borrower from its
insurance carrier and, consequently, Borrower waives any and all right to claim or recover against Lender, its officers, employees, agents and representatives, for loss of or damage to Borrower, the Property, Borrowers property or the property
of others under Borrowers control from any cause insured against or required to be insured against by the provisions of this Agreement.

Independent Director, the Organizational Documents shall also include provisions substantially comparable to the following (together with such modifications as may be approved (or, in the case of any Buyer or other Transfer, required) by Lender
based on changes in relevant law or market standards after the date of this Agreement):
(i) To the fullest extent permitted by law, and
notwithstanding any duty otherwise existing at law or in equity, the Independent Director shall consider only the interests of this entity (and, in the case of an SPE Component Entity, of Borrower), including its creditors, in exercising such
persons authority as an Independent Director. Except for duties to the entity in which it is an Independent Director (and, in the case of an SPE Component Entity, duties to Borrower) as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence
(including duties to creditors solely to the extent of their respective economic interests in Borrower or such SPE Component Entity, but excluding (i) all other interests of such entity, (ii) the interests of other Affiliates of such
entity, and (iii) the interests of any group of Affiliates of which the entity is a part), the Independent Directors shall not have any fiduciary duties to the entity, any other member or director of such entity, or to Borrower or Lender);
provided, however, the foregoing shall not eliminate the implied contractual covenant of good faith and fair dealing.
(ii) To the fullest extent permitted by law, an Independent
Director shall not be liable to the entity in which it serves for breach of contract or breach of duties (including fiduciary duties), unless the Independent Director acted in bad faith or engaged in willful misconduct.
66
(iii) No Independent Director
shall resign or be removed or replaced, in each case unless Lender receives not less than five (5) business days prior written notice of (a) any proposed resignation or removal or replacement of such Independent Director, and
(b) the identity of the proposed replacement Independent Director, together with evidence satisfactory to Lender that such replacement satisfies the applicable requirements to be an Independent Director, in each case except for removal of an
Independent Director by reason of (y) acts or omissions by such Independent Director that constitute willful disregard of such Independent Directors duties, in accordance with the standards set forth herein, or (z) such Independent
Director having engaged in or having been charged with, or having been convicted of, fraud or other acts constituting a crime under any law applicable to such Independent Director, in which case a replacement Independent Director shall be identified
and elected or appointed within five (5) business days after Borrower (or, if applicable, such SPE Component Entity) knew or was deemed to have known thereof.
(j) Borrower shall cause the Organizational Documents of Borrower to
include, at all times, substantially all of the requirements of this Section 4.27, in a manner satisfactory to Lender.
4.28 Reserve Accounts and Disbursement Requests. At Lenders option, as
additional security for the Debt, Borrower shall establish and maintain the reserve accounts required by this Section 4.28, subject to the security interest therein as more fully set forth in Section 4.19.
(a) Intentionally Omitted.
(b) Replacement Reserve. Borrower agrees that it will perform all
repairs and replacements necessary to maintain the Property in good working order, in accordance with its condition as of the date hereof. On each Payment Date until the Note is paid in full, Borrower shall pay to Lender the sum of $5,124.50 to be
held in a reserve fund (the Replacement Reserve) subject to this Agreement, for payment of certain repairs and replacements at the Property which, under generally accepted accounting principles, are categorized as capital expenses
and not as operating expenses (the Repairs). Borrower shall perform all Repairs in a good and workmanlike manner, in accordance with all applicable codes and regulations, and in each case in a manner satisfactory to Lender and as
necessary to maintain the Property in good condition and in compliance with all Applicable Laws. So long as no Default shall exist and be continuing, Lender shall, to the extent funds are available for such purpose in the Replacement Reserve,
disburse to Borrower the amount paid or incurred by Borrower in performing the Repairs as required above upon satisfaction of the requirements set forth in Section 4.29 of this Agreement. Lender may, at Borrowers expense, make or
cause to be made an inspection of the Property to determine the need, as determined by Lender in its reasonable judgment, for further Repairs of the Property. In the event that such inspection reveals that further Repairs are required, Lender shall
provide Borrower with a written description of the required Repairs, and Borrower shall complete such Repairs to Lenders reasonable satisfaction within ninety (90) days after Lenders notice, or such later date as may be approved by
Lender in its discretion.
(c) Intentionally Omitted.
(d) Leasing Reserve. Borrower agrees that, upon the execution of
any Lease approved or deemed approved in accordance with Section 4.10 of this Agreement, Borrower shall timely perform all build-out, construction, tenant improvement work and other obligations required to be performed by Borrower under
such Lease (the foregoing, Tenant Improvements) and timely pay as and when due any and all commissions to brokers in connection with such Lease (Leasing Commissions). Simultaneously herewith, Borrower shall
deposit with Lender the sum of $2,253,651 for outstanding Leasing Commissions and Tenant Improvements as shown on Exhibit F attached hereto and
67
made a part hereof, and on each Payment Date until the Note is paid in full, Borrower shall pay to Lender the sum of $19,216.75 to be held in a reserve fund (the Leasing
Reserve) subject to this Agreement, for payment of the costs of Leasing Commissions and Tenant Improvements (collectively, Leasing Costs). Borrower shall make additional deposits to the Leasing Reserve from time to time
as required by Section 4.28(f) below. Borrower shall perform all Tenant Improvements in a good and workmanlike manner, in accordance with all applicable codes and regulations, and each case in a manner satisfactory to Lender and as
necessary to maintain the Property in good condition and in compliance with all Applicable Laws. So long as no Default shall exist and be continuing, Lender shall, to the extent funds are available for such purpose in the Leasing Reserve (including,
without limitation, in any Early Termination Reserve established pursuant to Section 4.28(f) hereof), disburse to Borrower the amount paid or incurred by Borrower as Leasing Costs upon satisfaction of the requirements set forth in
Section 4.29 of this Agreement.
(e) Intentionally
Omitted.
(f) Early Termination Reserve. If any Tenant (a
Terminating Tenant) gives notice to Borrower that it is exercising an early termination option set forth in its Lease with Borrower, or if Borrower agrees to allow any Tenant to reduce or terminate its obligations under its Lease
(subject, in each case, to the restrictions of Section 4.10(c) hereof), Borrower shall direct such Tenant that the payment or other consideration in connection therewith (the Early Termination Payment) is to be remitted to
Lender (or, if a Cash Management Period shall then be in effect, such Early Termination Payment shall be deposited in the Clearing Account), for application as set forth below. If such Tenant remits the Early Termination Payment directly to
Borrower, Borrower shall remit the Early Termination Payment to Lender, for application as set forth below. Any Early Termination Payment shall be deposited in a segregated sub-account of the Leasing Reserve (the Early Termination
Reserve) to be held as additional security for the Debt; a separate Early Termination Reserve shall be maintained with respect to each Lease so terminated. Funds deposited in an Early Termination Reserve shall be disbursed as follows:
(i) If Borrower enters into a Lease for the entire premises
previously demised under the Lease so terminated (the Vacated Space) with a Tenant reasonably acceptable to Lender and such Lease satisfies all applicable requirements of Section 4.10 hereof, and the Tenant under such Lease
accepts such demised premises, takes occupancy thereof and commences the payment of base rent under its Lease (any such Lease, a Qualified Replacement Lease), then all funds in the Early Termination Reserve shall be used first to
pay Leasing Costs with respect to such Qualified Replacement Lease upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 4.29 hereof; any funds remaining in the Early Termination Reserve after payment of all Leasing Costs with respect
thereto shall be disbursed to Borrower as follows: (x) if the monthly net rent payable under the Qualified Replacement Lease is greater than or equal to the monthly net rent payable by the Terminating Tenant under its Lease as of the date of
such termination, then provided no Default is then continuing, such funds remaining in the Early Termination Reserve shall be disbursed to Borrower; and (y) if the monthly net rent payable under the Qualified Replacement Lease is less than the
monthly net rent payable by the Terminating Tenant under its Lease as of the date of such termination, then provided no Default is then continuing all funds remaining in the Early Termination Reserve shall be disbursed to Borrower in equal monthly
installments over the remaining term of the Qualified Replacement Lease, until such time as all funds have been disbursed from the Early Termination Reserve.
68
(ii) If Borrower enters
into one or more Leases each for less than the entire Vacated Space, no disbursements shall be permitted from the Early Termination Reserve except as follows:
|
A. |
Until such time as the entire Vacated Space has been re-leased pursuant to one or more Qualified Replacement Leases, and the Tenant under each such
Qualified Replacement Lease accepts such demised premises, takes occupancy thereof and commences the payment of base rent under its Lease, Lender shall from time to time make disbursements on account of Leasing Costs with respect to the Vacated
Space, provided, however, that the disbursements with respect to any portion of the Vacated Space on a per-square foot basis shall not exceed the amount of the Early Termination Payment on a per-square-foot basis; and |
|
B. |
At such time as the entire Vacated Space has been re-leased pursuant to one or more Qualified Replacement Leases and the Tenant under each such
Qualified Replacement Lease accepts such demised premises, takes occupancy thereof and commences the payment of base rent under its Lease, then after payment of all Leasing Costs with respect to the re-leasing of such Vacated Space, the funds
remaining in the Early Termination Reserve shall be disbursed as follows: (i) first, to the extent that any disbursements were made from the Leasing Reserve with respect to such Vacated Space, an amount equal to the sum of all such
disbursements will be transferred to the Leasing Reserve (notwithstanding any limit to the required deposits thereto); (ii) next, any funds remaining in the Early Termination Reserve shall be disbursed to Borrower as follows: (x) if
the monthly aggregate net rents payable under all such Qualified Replacement Leases is greater than or equal to the monthly net rent payable by the Terminating Tenant, and the term of all such Qualified Replacement Leases extends to or beyond the
scheduled expiration date of the Lease with the Terminating Tenant, then provided no Default is then continuing such funds remaining in the Early Termination Reserve shall be disbursed to Borrower; and (y) if the conditions of clause
(x) are not satisfied, then provided no Default is then continuing such funds remaining in the Early Termination Reserve shall be disbursed to Borrower in equal monthly installments over the period that would have remained in the term of the
Lease with the Terminating Tenant. |
Leasing Costs with respect to any Qualified Replacement Lease shall be disbursed
first out of the related Early Termination Reserve, if applicable, prior to using any funds in the Leasing Reserve with respect thereto.
(g) Cash Collateral Reserve. If a Cash Management Period shall be
continuing (other than a Cash Management Period continuing due to a United Healthcare Trigger Period or a Parsons Trigger Period), Borrower shall make deposits to a reserve fund (the Cash Collateral Reserve) in accordance with
Section 3.3(a) hereof. All funds on deposit in the Cash Collateral Reserve not previously disbursed or applied shall be disbursed to Borrower upon the termination of such Cash Management Period and so long as no other Cash Management Period
then exists. Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default, in its sole and absolute discretion, to apply any and all funds on deposit in the Cash Collateral Reserve to the Debt, in
such order and in such manner as Lender shall elect in its sole and absolute discretion, including to make a prepayment of Debt (together with the applicable Yield Maintenance Amount, if any, applicable thereto) or any other amounts due hereunder.
(h) United Healthcare Cash Collateral Reserve.
(i) During the continuance of a United Healthcare Trigger
Period, Borrower shall make deposits to a reserve fund (the United Healthcare Cash Collateral Reserve) in
69
accordance with Section 3.3(a) hereof for the payment of Leasing Costs associated with the United Healthcare Premises and as additional collateral for the Loan. So long as no Event of
Default shall exist and be continuing, Lender shall, to the extent funds are available for such purpose in the United Healthcare Cash Collateral Reserve, disburse to Borrower the amount paid or incurred by Borrower as Leasing Costs with respect to
the United Healthcare Premises upon satisfaction of the requirements set forth in Section 4.29 of this Agreement.
(ii) Following the termination of a United Healthcare Trigger
Period, provided no Event of Default is continuing, funds on deposit in the United Healthcare Cash Collateral Reserve not previously disbursed or applied shall be disbursed as follows: (x) provided no other Cash Management Period is continuing,
to Borrower once all Occupancy Conditions are satisfied, or (y) if a Cash Management Period is continuing, but all Occupancy Conditions have been satisfied, on the next occurring Payment Date in accordance Section 3.3 hereof
(i) Parsons Cash Collateral Reserve.
(i) During the continuance of a Parsons Trigger Period,
Borrower shall make deposits to a reserve fund (the Parsons Cash Collateral Reserve) in accordance with Section 3.3(a) hereof for the payment of Leasing Costs associated with the Parsons Premises and as additional
collateral for the Loan. So long as no Event of Default shall exist and be continuing, Lender shall, to the extent funds are available for such purpose in the Parsons Cash Collateral Reserve, disburse to Borrower the amount paid or incurred by
Borrower as Leasing Costs with respect to the Parsons Premises upon satisfaction of the requirements set forth in Section 4.29 of this Agreement.
(ii) Following the termination of a Parsons Trigger Period, provided
no Event of Default is continuing, funds on deposit in the Parsons Cash Collateral Reserve not previously disbursed or applied shall be disbursed as follows: (x) provided no other Cash Management Period is continuing, to Borrower once all
Occupancy Conditions are satisfied, or (y) if a Cash Management Period is continuing but all Occupancy Conditions have been satisfied, on the next occurring Payment Date in accordance Section 3.3 hereof
(j) Parsons Rent Reserve. Simultaneously herewith,
Borrower shall pay to Lender the sum of $83,646.64 to be held in a reserve fund (the Parsons Rent Reserve) as additional collateral for the Debt, subject to this Agreement. So long as no Event of Default exists, Lender shall
disburse to Borrower the amount in the Parsons Rent Reserve provided that all of the following conditions have been satisfied, as determined by Lender: (i) the Parsons Lease is in full force and effect and there are not defaults by Borrower
thereunder; (ii) Parsons has taken actual possession and occupancy of the space demised to Parsons under the Parsons Lease, and is conducting business with the public therefrom; (iii) Parsons is paying full, unabated rent pursuant to the
Parsons Lease; (iv) all work to be performed and paid for by Borrower, as landlord, under such Lease has been fully performed and paid for; and (v) Tenant delivers to Lender a tenant estoppel certificate in form and substance acceptable to
Lender in its discretion confirming each of the foregoing subsections (i)-(iv).
(k) United Healthcare Rent Reserve. Simultaneously herewith,
Borrower shall pay to Lender the sum of $1,781,613 to be held in a reserve fund (the United Healthcare Rent Reserve) as additional collateral for the Debt, subject to this Agreement. So long as no Event of Default or other Cash
Management Period exists, Lender shall disburse to Borrower the amount of $593,871 from the United Healthcare Rent Reserve within ten (10) following Borrowers written request on each of April 1, 2016, May 1, 2016 and
June 1, 2016, provided that all of the following conditions have been satisfied as of the date of the request, as determined by Lender: (i) the United Healthcare Lease is in full force and effect
70
and there are not defaults by Borrower thereunder; (ii) United Healthcare has taken actual possession and occupancy of the space demised to United Healthcare under the United Healthcare
Lease, and is conducting business with the public therefrom; (iii) United Healthcare is paying full, unabated rent pursuant to the United Healthcare Lease; (iv) all work to be performed and paid for by Borrower, as landlord, under such
Lease has been fully performed and paid for; and (v) Tenant delivers to Lender a tenant estoppel certificate in form and substance acceptable to Lender in its discretion confirming each of the foregoing subsections (i)-(iv)
4.29 Disbursements from the
Property Reserve Accounts. So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing under this Agreement, all sums in each of the Leasing Reserve, the United Healthcare Cash Collateral Reserve, the Parsons Cash Collateral Reserve,
the Parsons Rent Reserve, the United Healthcare Rent Reserve and the Replacement Reserve (the foregoing, collectively, the Property Reserve Accounts) shall be held by Lender in the respective Property Reserve Account as set forth
above for the purposes set forth in Section 4.28. So long as no Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender shall disburse to Borrower, from the appropriate Property Reserve Account for the purposes set forth in
Section 4.28, an amount equal to the actual expenses incurred to date by Borrower, less any prior disbursements to Borrower from any of the Property Reserve Account for such expenditure, but only to the extent that such expense is one
for which, pursuant to Section 4.28, the proceeds of a Property Reserve Account may be disbursed. Disbursements shall be made to Borrower within ten (10) days following Lenders receipt of each of the following:
(a) a written request from Borrower for such disbursement, accompanied by a
certification by Borrower, in the form therefor then utilized by Lender or Lenders servicing agent;
(b) copies of invoices, receipts or other evidence satisfactory to Lender
verifying the costs and expenses for which Borrower is requesting such disbursement;
(c) for disbursement requests in connection with a single project, or group of
related projects, for which Borrower is seeking disbursement of $10,000 or more, affidavits, lien waivers or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender showing that all materialmen, laborers, contractors, suppliers and other parties who have
or might claim statutory or common law liens, or who have furnished labor, materials or supplies to or in connection with the Property, have been paid (or are being paid out of the proceeds of such disbursement) all amounts due;
(d) for disbursement requests in connection with a single project, or group of
related projects, for which Borrower is seeking disbursement of $20,000 or more, excluding, however, Leasing Commissions, a certification from an inspecting architect or other third party acceptable to Lender, verifying that the any work for which
Borrower is requesting a disbursement has been properly completed and that the cost of such work bears a reasonable relationship to the costs incurred therefor;
(e) if requested by Lender, for disbursement requests in connection with
Leasing Costs, a current estoppel certificate (in form and substance acceptable to Lender) from the tenant under the applicable Lease pursuant to which such Leasing Costs were incurred;
(f) a copy of the
certificate of occupancy for the Improvements if, as a result of any work undertaken by Borrower, it was necessary to receive an amendment to the existing certificate of occupancy (or similar instrument) issued with respect to the Improvements, or
to obtain a new certificate of occupancy for the Improvements, or a certification of Borrower that no such amended or new certificate of occupancy is required; and
(g) payment of an administrative fee of $150.00 per request.
71
Lender shall not be required to make an advance from each Property Reserve Account more
frequently than once in any thirty (30) day period. In making any disbursement from a Property Reserve Account, Lender shall be entitled to rely on the disbursement request from Borrower without any inquiry into the accuracy, validity or
contestability of any amount set forth therein. All costs and expenses required to be incurred in connection with the review and approval of each request for a disbursement from a Property Reserve Account shall be paid by Borrower not later than
concurrently with such disbursement; Lender shall have the right to make disbursement of any costs and expenses not paid as of the request for such disbursement directly to the contractor, vendor or other provider (or by two-party check jointly to
Borrower and such contractor, vendor or other provider). The Reserves shall not, unless otherwise explicitly required by applicable law, be or be deemed to be escrow or trust funds. Lender may, at its discretion, hold the Reserves either in a
separate account or commingled by Lender with any other funds in the possession or control of Lender. The Reserves are solely for the protection of Lender, and entail no responsibility on Lenders part beyond making disbursements upon strict
satisfaction of the requirements of Section 4.28 and this Section 4.29 and beyond the allowing of due credit for the sums actually received. To the extent that any funds in any of the Reserves are invested by Lender, Borrower
shall bear the risk of loss of such investments. In the event that the amounts on deposit in any of the Property Reserve Account are insufficient to reimburse Borrower for amounts otherwise properly requested, Lender shall not be obligated or
authorized to transfer funds from other Reserves, and Borrower shall pay the amount of such deficiency. Upon assignment of this Agreement by Lender, any funds in the Reserves shall be turned over to the assignee, and any responsibility of the
assignor with respect thereto shall terminate.
4.30 Interest-Bearing
Reserves. Lender shall cause funds in the Leasing Reserve and the Replacement Reserve (referred to in this Section 4.30 as the Interest-Bearing Reserve) to be deposited into an interest bearing account of the type
customarily maintained by Lender or its Servicer for the investment of similar reserves, which account may not yield the highest interest rate then available. Interest payable on such amounts shall be computed based on the daily outstanding balance
in the Interest-Bearing Reserve. Such interest shall be calculated on a simple, non-compounded interest basis based solely on contributions made to the Interest-Bearing Reserve by Borrower. All interest earned on amounts contributed to the
Interest-Bearing Reserve shall be retained by Lender and added to the balance in such Interest-Bearing Reserve and shall be disbursed for payment of the items for which other funds in such Interest-Bearing Reserve are to be disbursed. Borrower
acknowledges that all Reserves other than the Interest-Bearing Reserves shall not accrue or bear interest for the benefit of Borrower, and no interest shall be payable thereon by Lender.
4.31 Ground Lease
Covenants. Borrower hereby covenants and agrees with Lender with respect to the Ground Lease:
(a) Borrower will comply in all material respects with the terms and
conditions of the Ground Lease. Borrower will not do or permit anything to be done, the doing of which, or refrain from doing anything, the omission of which, will impair or tend to impair the security of the Leasehold Real Estate under the Ground
Lease or will be grounds for declaring a default under, or forfeiture of, the Ground Lease.
(b) Borrower shall enforce the Ground Lease and will not terminate, modify,
cancel, change, supplement, alter or amend the Ground Lease, or waive, excuse, condone or in any way release or discharge the Ground Lessor of or from any of the material covenants and conditions to be performed or observed by the Ground Lessor
under the Ground Lease. Borrower hereby expressly covenants with Lender not to cancel, surrender, amend, modify or alter in any way the terms of the Ground Lease. Borrower hereby assigns to Lender, as further security for the payment of the
Obligations and for the performance and observance of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Loan Documents, all of the
72
rights, privileges and prerogatives of Borrower, as tenant under the Ground Lease, to surrender the leasehold estate created by the Ground Lease or to terminate, cancel, modify, change,
supplement, alter or amend the Ground Lease, and any such surrender of the leasehold estate created by the Ground Lease or termination, cancellation, modification, change, supplement, alteration or amendment of the Ground Lease without the prior
consent of Lender shall be void and of no force and effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the United Healthcare Lease is amended pursuant to the terms and conditions hereof during the Loan Term so that the parking obligations required therein no
longer require the Ground Lease be utilized to meet their permitted parking spaces, and the parking at the Property otherwise complies with all zoning requirements for parking and no other tenants at the Property require the use of such parking
spaces and/or the Leasehold Real Estate pursuant to the Ground Lease, Borrower may, with Lenders reasonable prior written consent, terminate the Ground Lease.
(c) Borrower will
give Lender prompt (and in all events within five (5) days) notice of any default under the Ground Lease or of the receipt by Borrower of any notice of default from Ground Lessor. Borrower will promptly (and in all events within (5) days)
furnish to Lender copies of all information furnished to Ground Lessor by the terms of the Ground Lease or the provisions of this Section. Borrower will deposit with Lender an exact copy of any notice, communication, plan, specification or other
instrument or document received or given by Borrower in any way relating to or affecting the Ground Lease which may concern or affect the estate of Ground Lessor or Borrower thereunder in or under the Ground Lease or in the Leasehold Real Estate
thereby demised.
(d) Lender shall
have the right, but not the obligation, to perform any obligations of Borrower under the terms of the Ground Lease during the continuance of a default. All costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys fees and
expenses) so incurred, shall be treated as an advance secured by the Loan Documents, shall bear interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date of payment by Lender until paid in full and shall be paid by Borrower to Lender during the continuance
of an Event of Default within five (5) days after demand. No performance by Lender of any obligations of Borrower shall constitute a waiver of any default arising by reason of Borrowers failure to perform the same. Subject to the rights
of lessees, sublessees and other occupants under the Leases, Lender and any person designated by Lender shall have, and are hereby granted, the right to enter upon the Property at any time and from time to time for the purpose of taking any such
action.
(e) To
the extent permitted by law, the amounts payable by Borrower or any other Person in the exercise of any right of redemption following foreclosure of the Property shall include all Ground Lease Rents paid and other sums advanced by Lender, together
with interest thereon at the Default Rate, on behalf of Borrower and/or any successor to Borrower as lessee under the Ground Lease or any Replacement Ground Lease, on account of the Property.
(f) Unless Lender
shall otherwise consent, the fee title and the leasehold estate in the Leasehold Real Estate shall not merge but shall always be kept separate and distinct, notwithstanding the union of said estates either in Ground Lessor or in Borrower, or in a
third party, by purchase or otherwise.
(i) Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower expressly agrees to promptly execute, acknowledge and deliver to Lender such instruments as may be required to create, perfect, and preserve (i) a valid first lien, subject to no liens, charges
or encumbrances other than the Permitted Exceptions, in favor of Lender, on the fee interest in any portion of the premises subject to the Ground Lease that may hereafter be acquired by Borrower (the Added Fee Real Estate), and
(ii) a valid security interest in all personal property associated therewith.
73
(ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any other provision
of this Agreement, or any requirement of the Ground Lease, Borrower shall not acquire a fee interest in any part of the Leasehold Real Estate (any such interest, along with all other interests in real or personal property acquired in conjunction
therewith, Added Fee Collateral, provided, for avoidance of doubt, that Added Fee Real Estate shall not include any leasehold or other interest in real or personal property that is, immediately prior to an acquisition, both
(1) held by Borrower, and (2) subject to the lien of the Mortgage), unless and until Borrower has caused each of the following conditions to be satisfied:
A. Lender shall have received a copy of a deed (and, as to
any associated personal property, a bill of sale) conveying such Added Fee Collateral to Borrower, and a letter from the Borrower (countersigned by a title insurance company reasonably acceptable to Lender) acknowledging receipt of such deed and
bill of sale, and agreeing to record such deed in the appropriate real estate records for the county in which the Fee Real Estate is located.
B. If the Loan (or any interest therein) is held by a REMIC,
Lender shall have received an appraisal of the Property, including therein the proposed Added Fee Collateral, prepared by an appraiser acceptable to the Lender and the Rating Agencies (or such other evidence of valuation of the Fee Collateral as may
be acceptable to a REMIC), dated no more than sixty (60) days prior to the date upon which such an acquisition (a Fee Acquisition) is to be consummated (the Fee Acquisition Date), indicating that as of the
Fee Acquisition Date, the value of the Property including the proposed Added Fee Collateral and accounting for any merger of fee and leasehold interests that may occur as a result of such Fee Acquisition below, will be greater than the value of the
Property, excluding the Fee Collateral, immediately prior to the Fee Acquisition.
C. After giving effect to such Fee Acquisition and any
reduction in Borrowers obligation to pay Ground Rent, the Debt Service Coverage Ratio for the Loan is not less than the Debt Service Coverage Ratio immediately preceding the Fee Acquisition.
D. If the Loan (or any interest therein) is held by a REMIC,
Lender shall have received a Rating Confirmation with respect to the contemplated Fee Acquisition.
E. If the Loan (or any interest therein) is held by a REMIC,
Borrower shall include in the certificate required pursuant to clause (E) above such additional representations and warranties with respect to Borrower, the Property, the Added Fee Collateral or the Loan as the Lender or the Rating Agencies may
require (in accordance with the Prudent Lender Standard), and shall deliver such certificate in form and substance satisfactory to the Lender and the Rating Agencies.
F. Borrower shall have executed, acknowledged and delivered
to Lender (A) a first priority deed of trust, an assignment of leases, a security agreement, and applicable financing statements with respect to the Added Fee Collateral (or, if determined by Lender in accordance with the Prudent Lender
Standard, a modification and spreader of the lien of the Mortgage and the Assignment of Leases, together with an amendment to any previously filed financing statements), together with a letter from Borrower countersigned by a title insurance company
reasonably acceptable to Lender
74
acknowledging receipt of such deed of trust, assignment of leases, security agreement, and financing statements and agreeing to record or file, as applicable, such instruments in the real estate
records for the county in which the Added Fee Collateral is located and to file one of the financing statements in the office of the Secretary of State of the state in which Borrower is organized, so as to effectively create upon such recording and
filing a valid and enforceable first priority lien upon the Added Fee Collateral in favor of Lender (or such other trustee as may be desired under local law), subject only to the Permitted Exceptions and such other liens as are permitted pursuant to
the Loan Documents, and (B) modifications of all other Loan Documents necessary to include the Added Fee Collateral within the scope thereof (including to acknowledge any merger of fee and leasehold interests that may occur as a result of the
Fee Acquisition). All such instruments shall be substantially the same in form and substance as the counterparts of such documents executed and delivered with respect to the Property as a whole, subject to modifications reflecting that the Added Fee
Collateral is only a portion of the Property as a whole, and as otherwise might be appropriate under the Prudent Lender Standard based on changes in Applicable Laws as of the Fee Acquisition Date in order for counsel admitted to practice in the
state of Texas to deliver the opinion as to the enforceability of such documents required pursuant to clause (L) below. Such Mortgage, as modified to encumber the Added Fee Collateral (including by the addition of any separate deed of trust or
other security instrument), shall continue to secure all amounts evidenced by the Note, and any instruments delivered pursuant to this clause (F) shall thereafter be included within the term Loan Documents.
G. Lender shall have received an endorsement to the Title
Insurance Policy, dated as of the Fee Acquisition Date, insuring that the Mortgage, modified or spread as contemplated by this Section 4.31(f), encumbers all of the Property including the Added Fee Collateral. The amount of coverage under the
Title Insurance Policy shall not be reduced in connection with such endorsement, nor shall any exceptions to coverage be added thereby. Lender also shall have received copies of paid receipts showing that all premiums in respect of such endorsements
and Title Insurance Policies have been paid.
H. If the
Loan (or any interest therein) is held by a REMIC, Lender shall have received an opinion of counsel acceptable to Lender and the Rating Agencies (together with such other evidence as Lender may request in accordance with the Prudent Lender Standard)
that (a) the Fee Acquisition as contemplated hereby will not cause a significant modification of the Loan within the meaning of U.S. Treasury Regulation Section 1.860G-2(b)(2); (b) the substitution as contemplated hereby
will not cause the Loan to fail to be a qualified mortgage within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3)(A) of the Code; and (c) the aggregate fair market value of the Property including therein the proposed Added Fee Collateral, as
determined immediately after such Fee Acquisition, either (1) is equal to at least 80% of the adjusted issue price of the Loan that is outstanding immediately after such Fee Acquisition, or (2) equals or exceeds the aggregate fair market
value of the borrowers interest in the Ground Lease (to the extent not extinguished by any prior merger) and any previously acquired Fee Collateral that secures the Loan immediately before such Fee Acquisition. For purposes of the preceding
clause (c), fair market value shall be determined by any commercially reasonable valuation method permitted under the REMIC Provisions and by excluding any personal property or going concern value attributable to the Property, the Added Fee
Collateral, or the borrowers interest therein.
75
I. Lender
shall have received valid certificates of insurance indicating that the requirements for the policies of insurance required for the Property include the Added Fee Collateral, and evidencing the payment of all premiums payable for the existing policy
period.
J. Intentionally Omitted.
K. Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Lender
(1) updates, certified by Borrower, of all organizational documentation related to Borrower and/or the formation, structure, existence, good standing and/or qualification to do business delivered to Lender in connection with the origination of
the Loan; (2) good standing certificates, certificates of qualification to do business in the State of Texas and (3) resolutions of the manager or managing member of Borrower authorizing the Fee Acquisition and any actions taken in
connection with such substitution.
L. Lender shall have
received the following opinions of Borrowers counsel: (1) an opinion or opinions of counsel admitted to practice under the laws of the state Texas stating that the Loan Documents delivered with respect to the Added Fee Collateral pursuant
to clause (F) above are valid and enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to the laws applicable to creditors rights and equitable principles, and that Borrower is qualified to do business and in good standing under the laws
of the state in which the Added Fee Collateral is located; (2) an opinion of counsel acceptable to the Lender and the Rating Agencies stating that the Loan Documents delivered with respect to the Added Fee Collateral pursuant to clause
(G) above were duly authorized, executed and delivered by Borrower and that the execution and delivery of such Loan Documents and the performance by Borrower of its obligations thereunder will not cause a breach of, or a default under, any
agreement, document or instrument to which Borrower is a party or to which it or its properties are bound; (3) an opinion of counsel acceptable to the Lender and the Rating Agencies stating that subjecting the Added Fee Collateral to the Lien
of the Mortgage (or such spreader agreement, as applicable) and the execution and delivery of the related Loan Documents does not and will not affect or impair the ability of Lender to enforce its remedies under all of the Loan Documents;
(4) an update of the Non-Consolidation Opinion indicating that such Fee Acquisition does not affect the opinions set forth therein; and (5), if the Loan (or any interest therein) is held by a REMIC, an opinion of counsel acceptable to the
Lender and the Rating Agencies stating that such Fee Acquisition and the related transactions do not constitute a fraudulent conveyance under applicable bankruptcy and insolvency laws.
M. Borrower shall have paid all costs relating to the ownership of
the Property, including the Added Fee Collateral, including without limitation, (1) accrued but unpaid insurance premiums relating to the Property as modified to include the Added Fee Collateral, (2) currently due Taxes and Other Charges
(including any in arrears) relating to the Property, including the Added Fee Collateral, and (3) amounts then due under the Ground Lease (including without limitation in respect of any leasehold estate that may be extinguished by merger as a
result of such Fee Acquisition notwithstanding Borrowers compliance with the requirements of clause (Q) below).
N. Borrower shall have paid or reimbursed Lender for all
costs and expenses incurred by Lender (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys fees and disbursements) in connection with the Fee Acquisition and Borrower shall have paid all recording charges, filing fees, taxes or other expenses
(including, without limitation,
76
mortgage and intangibles taxes and documentary stamp taxes) payable in connection with the substitution. Borrower shall have paid all costs and expenses of the Lender and the Rating Agencies
incurred in connection with the Fee Acquisition.
O. Lender shall have received (1) an endorsement
to the Title Insurance Policy insuring the first priority Lien of the Mortgage, modified or spread as contemplated by this Section 4.31(f), insuring that the Added Fee Collateral constitutes a separate tax lot or, if such an endorsement is not
available in the state in which the Fee Collateral is located, other evidence meeting the Prudent Lender Standard, that the Fee Collateral constitutes a separate tax lot or (2) evidence meeting the Prudent Lender Standard that the Fee
Collateral constitutes a separate tax lot.
P. If
any rating on any security evidencing an ownership interest in the Loan has been issued and is then in effect, Lender shall have received such other and further approvals, opinions, documents and information in connection with the substitution as
the Lender or the Rating Agencies may have requested.
Q. No Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing as of the Fee Acquisition Date.
R. Lender shall have received from Borrower and
Guarantor a certificate, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender:
(1) accompanying debt service coverage ratio
calculation confirming satisfaction of the requirements of clause (C) above;
(2) attesting that such calculation is
accurate, complete, and not misleading;
(3) stating that the representations and
warranties of Borrower contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Fee Acquisition Date with respect to Borrower, Guarantor and the Property (including the Added Fee
Collateral), unless such certificate would be inaccurate (in which case such certificate shall recite any exceptions to such representations and warranties); and
(4) certifying that all of the requirements
set forth in this Section 4.31(f) have been satisfied.
Upon the satisfaction of the foregoing
conditions precedent, the Fee Acquisition may be consummated and the Added Fee Collateral shall be deemed to be part of the Property for purposes of this Agreement. Should such a Fee Acquisition occur without the conditions set forth above having
been satisfied or waived (which waiver may be withheld by Lender in accordance with the Prudent Lender Standard), the same shall constitute an Event of Default.
(g) The actions or payments of Lender to cure any default by Borrower under
the Ground Lease shall not cure or waive, as between Borrower and Lender, the default that occurred under this Agreement by virtue of Borrowers default under the Ground Lease. All reasonable out-of-pocket
77
costs and expenses incurred by Lender to cure or attempt to cure any such default shall be paid by Borrower to Lender, upon demand, with interest at the Default Rate from the date such costs and
expenses were incurred to and including the date the reimbursement payment is received by Lender. All such indebtedness shall be secured by the Mortgage.
(h) Borrower shall not, without prior consent of Lender, subordinate or
consent to the subordination of the Ground Lease to any mortgage, security deed, lease or other interest on or in Ground Lessors interest in all or any part of the Property.
(i) Within fifteen (15) days after receipt of Lenders
request, Borrower shall use reasonable efforts to obtain from Ground Lessor and furnish to Lender an estoppel certificate of Ground Lessor stating the date through which Ground Rent has been paid, whether or not there are any defaults under the
Ground Lease and specifying the nature of such claimed defaults, if any, and such other matters as Lender may reasonably request.
(j) Upon acquisition of the fee title in the Real Estate, the Mortgage
shall, automatically and without the necessity of execution of any other documents, attach to and cover and be a lien upon such other estate so acquired, and such other estate shall be considered as mortgaged, assigned and conveyed to Lender and the
lien hereof spread to cover such estate with the same force and effect as though specifically herein mortgaged, assigned and conveyed. The provisions of this subsection (g) shall not apply if Lender acquires title to the Property unless Lender
shall so elect.
(k) If the Ground Lessor shall deliver to Lender a copy
of any notice of default sent by the Ground Lessor to Borrower, as tenant under the Ground Lease, such notice shall constitute full protection to Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken by Lender in reliance thereon.
(l) Borrower shall exercise each individual option, if any, to extend or
renew the term of the Ground Lease promptly (and in all events within five (5) days) after demand by Lender made at any time within one (1) year of the last day upon which any such option may be exercised, and Borrower hereby expressly
authorizes and appoints Lender its attorney-in-fact to exercise any such option in the name of and upon behalf of Borrower to so exercise such option if Borrower fails to exercise as herein required, which power of attorney shall be irrevocable and
shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest.
(m) Each Lease hereafter made,
and each renewal of any existing Lease, shall provide that, (i) in the event of the termination of the Ground Lease, the Lease shall not terminate or be terminable by the lessee; (ii) in the event of any action for the foreclosure of the
Mortgage, the Lease shall not terminate or be terminable by the subtenant by reason of the termination of the Ground Lease unless the lessee is specifically named and joined in any such action and unless a judgment is obtained therein against the
lessee; and (iii) in the event that the Ground Lease is terminated as aforesaid, the lessee under the Lease shall attorn to the lessee under the Ground Lease (or any Replacement Ground Lease) or to the purchaser at the sale of the Property on
such foreclosure, as the case may be.
(n) Borrower hereby assigns,
transfers and sets over to Lender all of Borrowers claims and rights to the payment of damages arising from any rejection by the Ground Lessor of the Ground Lease under the Bankruptcy Code. Borrower shall notify Lender promptly (and in any
event within ten (10) days) of any claim, suit action or proceeding relating to the rejection of the Ground Lease. Lender is hereby irrevocably appointed as Borrowers attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, with exclusive power to
file and prosecute, to the exclusion of Borrower, any proofs of claim, complaints, motions, applications, notices and other documents, in any case in respect of the Ground Lessor under the Bankruptcy Code during the continuance of any Event of
Default. Borrower may make any compromise
78
or settlement in connection with such proceedings (subject to Lenders reasonable approval); provided, however, that Lender shall be authorized and entitled to compromise or settle any such
proceeding if such compromise or settlement is made after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default. Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver to Lender any and all instruments reasonably required in connection with any
such proceeding after request therefor by Lender. Except as set forth above, Borrower shall not adjust, compromise, settle or enter into any agreement with respect to such proceedings without the prior written consent of Lender.
(o) Borrower shall not, without Lenders prior written consent, elect to
treat the Ground Lease as terminated under Section 365(h)(l) of the Bankruptcy Code. Any such election made without Lenders prior written consent shall be void.
(p) If pursuant to Section 365(h)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, Borrower
seeks to offset against the rent reserved in the Ground Lease the amount of any damages caused by the non-performance by the Ground Lessor of any of the Ground Lessors obligations under the Ground Lease after the rejection by the Ground Lessor
of the Ground Lease under the Bankruptcy Code, Borrower shall, prior to effecting such offset, notify Lender of its intention to do so, setting forth the amounts proposed to be so offset and the basis therefor. If Lender has failed to object as
aforesaid within ten (10) days after notice from Borrower in accordance with the first sentence of this subsection (m), Borrower may proceed to effect such offset in the amounts set forth in Borrowers notice. Neither Lenders failure
to object as aforesaid nor any objection or other communication between Lender and Borrower relating to such offset shall constitute an approval of any such offset by Lender. Borrower shall indemnify and save Lender harmless from and against any and
all claims, demands, actions, suits, proceedings, damages, losses, costs and expenses of every nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys fees and disbursements) arising from or relating to any such offset by
Borrower against the rent reserved in the Ground Lease.
(q) If any
action, proceeding, motion or notice shall be commenced or filed in respect of Borrower or, during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Property in connection with any case under the Bankruptcy Code, Lender shall have the option, to the
exclusion of Borrower, exercisable upon notice from Lender to Borrower, to conduct and control any such litigation with counsel of Lenders choice. Lender may proceed in its own name or in the name of Borrower in connection with any such
litigation, and Borrower agrees to execute any and all powers, authorizations, consents and other documents required by Lender in connection therewith. Borrower shall pay to Lender all costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable
attorneys fees and disbursements) paid or incurred by Lender in connection with the prosecution or conduct of any such proceedings within five (5) days after notice from Lender setting forth such costs and expenses in reasonable detail.
Any such costs or expenses not paid by Borrower as aforesaid shall be secured by the Mortgage, shall be added to the Debt and shall bear interest at the Default Rate. Borrower shall not commence any action, suit, proceeding or case, or file any
application or make any motion, in respect of the Ground Lease in any such case under the Bankruptcy Code without the prior written consent of Lender.
(r) Borrower shall immediately, after obtaining knowledge thereof, notify
Lender of any filing by or against the Ground Lessor of a petition under the Bankruptcy Code. Borrower shall thereafter forthwith give written notice of such filing to Lender, setting forth any information available to Borrower as to the date of
such filing, the court in which such petition was filed, and the relief sought therein. Borrower shall promptly deliver to Lender following receipt any and all notices, summonses, pleadings, applications and other documents received by Borrower in
connection with any such petition and any proceedings relating thereto.
79
(s) If there shall be filed by or
against Borrower a petition under the Bankruptcy Code, and Borrower, as the tenant under the Ground Lease, shall determine to reject the Ground Lease pursuant to Section 365(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, then Borrower shall give Lender not less
than ten (10) days prior notice of the date on which Borrower shall apply to the bankruptcy court for authority to reject the Ground Lease. Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, to serve upon Borrower within such 10-day
period a notice stating that (i) Lender demands that Borrower assume and assign the Ground Lease to Lender pursuant to Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code and (ii) Lender covenants to cure or provide adequate assurance of prompt cure
of all defaults and provide adequate assurance of future performance under the Ground Lease. If Lender serves upon Borrower the notice described in the preceding sentence, Borrower shall not seek to reject the Ground Lease and shall comply with the
demand provided for in clause (i) of the preceding sentence within thirty (30) days after the notice shall have been given, subject to the performance by Lender of the covenant provided for in clause (ii) of the preceding sentence.
(t) effective upon the entry of an order for relief in respect of
Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code, Borrower hereby assigns and transfers to Lender a non-exclusive right to apply to the Bankruptcy Code under Section 365(d)(4) of the Bankruptcy Code for an order extending the period during which the Ground
Lease may be rejected or assumed.

ARTICLE VI
REMEDIES
6.1 Remedies.
(a) Acceleration. At any time during the continuance of an Event
of Default (other than an Event of Default described in paragraph (h) or (i) of Section 5.1), in addition to any other rights or remedies available to it pursuant to the Loan Documents or at law or in equity, Lender may take
such action, without notice or demand, that Lender deems advisable to protect and enforce its rights against Borrower and in and to the Property; including declaring the Debt to be immediately due and payable (including unpaid interest), Default
Rate interest, Late Payment Charges and any other amounts owing by Borrower), without notice or demand; and upon any Event of Default described in paragraph (h) or (i) of Section 5.1, the Debt (including unpaid interest,
Default Rate interest, Late Payment Charges and any other amounts owing by Borrower) shall immediately and automatically become due and payable, without notice or demand, and Borrower hereby expressly waives any such notice or demand, anything
contained in any Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding.
(b) Remedies Cumulative. During the continuance of an Event of Default,
all or any one or more of the rights, powers, privileges and other remedies available to Lender against Borrower under the Loan Documents or at law or in equity may be exercised by Lender at any time and from time to time, whether or not all or any
of the Debt shall be declared, or be automatically, due and payable, and whether or not Lender shall have commenced any foreclosure proceeding or other action for the
82
enforcement of its rights and remedies under any of the Loan Documents. Any such actions taken by Lender shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singly, successively,
together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in its discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender permitted by law, equity or
contract or as set forth in the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower agrees that if an Event of Default is continuing, (i) to the extent permitted by applicable law, Lender is not subject to any one
action or election of remedies law or rule, and (ii) all liens and other rights, remedies or privileges provided to Lender shall remain in full force and effect until Lender has exhausted all of its remedies against the Property, the
Mortgage has been foreclosed, the Property has been sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Debt or the Debt have been paid in full. To the extent permitted by applicable law, nothing contained in any Loan Document shall be
construed as requiring Lender to resort to any portion of the Property for the satisfaction of any of the Debt in preference or priority to any other portion, and Lender may seek satisfaction out of the entire Property or any part thereof, in its
discretion.
(c)
Severance. Lender shall have the right from time to time to sever the Note and the other Loan Documents into one or more separate notes, mortgages and other security documents (and, in connection therewith, to bifurcate or otherwise
modify the nature of the collateral that secures such notes) in such denominations and priorities of payment and liens as Lender shall determine in its discretion for purposes of evidencing and enforcing its rights and remedies. Borrower shall
execute and deliver to Lender from time to time, promptly after the request of Lender, a severance agreement and such other documents as Lender shall request in order to effect the severance described in the preceding sentence, all in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender. Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints Lender as its true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in its name and stead to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to
effect such severance, Borrower ratifying all that such attorney shall do by virtue thereof. The rights under this Section 6.1(c) are in addition to, and shall not limit or be deemed to limit, the rights of Lender under Sections 8.24 and
8.25 hereof.
(d) Delay. No delay or omission to
exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of Default, or the granting of any indulgence or compromise by Lender shall impair any such remedy, right or power hereunder or be construed as a waiver thereof, but any such remedy, right
or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. A waiver of one Default or Event of Default shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default or to impair any remedy, right or
power consequent thereon. Lender shall not be required to accept the tendered cure of any Event of Default, except to the extent Lender is required to do so pursuant to Applicable Laws or to the extent Lender agrees to the contrary pursuant to a
written instrument executed and delivered by Lender. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Lender reserves the right to seek a deficiency judgment or preserve a deficiency claim in connection with the foreclosure of the Mortgage to
the extent necessary to foreclose on all or any portion of the Property, the Rents and Profits, the Cash Management Account or any other collateral.
(e) Lenders Right to Perform. If Borrower fails
to perform any covenant or obligation contained herein and such failure shall continue for a period of five Business Days after Borrowers receipt of written notice thereof from Lender, without in any way limiting Lenders right to
exercise any of its rights, powers or remedies as provided hereunder, or under any of the other Loan Documents, Lender may, but shall have no obligation to, perform, or cause performance of, such covenant or obligation, and all costs, expenses,
liabilities, penalties and fines of Lender incurred or paid in connection therewith shall be payable by Borrower to Lender upon demand and if not paid shall be added to the Debt (and to the extent permitted under applicable laws, secured by the
Mortgage and other Loan Documents) and shall bear interest thereafter at the Default Rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender shall have no obligation to send notice to Borrower of any such failure.
83
6.2 Payment of Expenses.
Borrower shall pay on demand all of Lenders expenses incurred in any efforts to enforce any terms of this Agreement, the Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents, whether or not any lawsuit is filed and whether or not foreclosure is
commenced but not completed, including, but not limited to, legal fees and disbursements, foreclosure costs and title charges, together with interest thereon from and after the date incurred by Lender until actually paid by Borrower at the Default
Rate. Furthermore, Borrower shall, and does hereby, indemnify Lender for, and hold Lender harmless from, any and all losses, costs, expenses, claims, actions, demands liabilities, loss or damage which may or might be incurred by Lender under this
Agreement, the Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents or by the exercise of rights or remedies hereunder, and from any and all claims and demands whatsoever which may be asserted against Lender by reason of any alleged obligations or
undertakings on Lenders part with respect to the Property except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, other than those finally determined to have resulted solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lender.
Borrowers obligation pursuant to the previous sentence shall include, without limitation, payment to (or reimbursement of) any compensation payable by the holder of the Loan to any servicing agent under a Secondary Market Transaction pursuant
to the Securitization Documents if such payment becomes due solely by reason of the existence and/or continuance of any Event of Default. Should Lender incur any such liability, the amount thereof, including, without limitation, costs, expenses and
attorneys fees, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date incurred by Lender until actually paid by Borrower, shall be immediately due and payable to Lender from Borrower on demand.

exercise, nor the delay by Lender in exercising, any right, power or remedy upon any Event of Default by Borrower hereunder shall be construed as a waiver of such Event of Default or as a waiver of the right to exercise any such right, power or
remedy at a later date. No single or partial exercise by Lender of any right, power or remedy hereunder shall exhaust the same or shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof, and every such right, power or remedy hereunder may be exercised
at any time and from time to time. No modification or waiver of any provision hereof nor consent to any departure by Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Lender, and then such waiver or
consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose given. No notice to nor demand on Borrower in any case shall of itself entitle Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.
Acceptance by Lender of any payment in an amount less than the amount then due on any of the Debt shall be deemed an acceptance on account only and shall not in any way affect the existence of a Default or an Event of Default hereunder. In case
Lender shall have proceeded to invoke any right, remedy or recourse permitted hereunder or under the other Loan Documents and shall thereafter elect to discontinue or abandon the same for any reason, Lender shall have the unqualified right to do so
and, in such an event, Borrower and Lender shall be restored to their former positions with respect to the Debt, the Loan Documents, the Property and otherwise, and the rights, remedies, recourses and powers of Lender shall continue as if the same
had never been invoked.
8.10 Governing Law. This Agreement will be
governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State in which the Real Estate is located, provided that to the extent any of such laws may now or hereafter be preempted by Federal law, in which case such Federal law shall so govern and
be controlling.
8.11 Counting of Days. The term days
when used herein shall mean calendar days. If any time period ends on a Saturday, Sunday or holiday officially recognized by the state within which the Real Estate is located, the period shall be deemed to end on the next succeeding Business Day.
86
8.12 Relationship of the Parties. The
relationship between Borrower and Lender is that of a borrower and a lender only and neither of those parties is, nor shall it hold itself out to be, the agent, employee, joint venturer or partner of the other party.
8.13 Application of the Proceeds of the Note. To the extent that proceeds of the
Note are used to pay indebtedness secured by any outstanding lien, security interest, charge or prior encumbrance against the Property, such proceeds have been advanced by Lender at Borrowers request and Lender shall be subrogated to any and
all rights, security interests and liens owned by any owner or holder of such outstanding liens, security interests, charges or encumbrances, irrespective of whether said liens, security interests, charges or encumbrances are released.
8.14 Unsecured Portion of Indebtedness. If any part of the Debt cannot be lawfully
secured by the Mortgage or if any part of the Property cannot be lawfully subject to the lien and security interest thereof to the full extent of such indebtedness, then all payments made shall be applied on said indebtedness first in discharge of
that portion thereof which is unsecured by the Mortgage.
8.15 Cross Default. An
Event of Default shall be a default (without further rights to cure) under each of the other Loan Documents.
8.16 Exculpation. Notwithstanding anything in the Loan Documents to the contrary,
but subject to the qualifications set forth in this Section 8.16, Lender agrees that (i) Borrower shall be liable upon the Debt and for the other obligations arising under the Loan Documents to the full extent (but only to the
extent) of the Collateral, (ii) during the continuance of any Event of Default, any judicial or other proceedings brought by Lender against Borrower shall be limited to the preservation, enforcement and foreclosure, or any thereof, of the
liens, security titles, estates, assignments, rights and security interests now or at any time hereafter securing the Debt, and no attachment, execution or other writ of process shall be sought, issued or levied upon any assets, properties or funds
of Borrower other than the Collateral, except with respect to the liability described below in this Section 8.16, and (iii) in the event of a foreclosure of such liens, security titles, estates, assignments, rights or security
interests securing the Debt and/or the other obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents, no judgment for any deficiency upon the Debt shall be sought or obtained by Lender against Borrower, except with respect to the liability described below
in this Section 8.16; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.16, Borrower shall be fully liable, and subject to legal action, for all losses, costs and expenses incurred by Lender
(including, without limitation, the fees and expenses of Lenders counsel) by reason of:
(a) Misappropriation or misapplication or conversion of any Rents and Profits,
or other funds constituting proceeds of the Property (which misappropriation may include, without limitation, (i) rent and other payments received from Tenants paid more than one month in advance, and not applied in accordance with the Loan
Documents or paid to Lender upon an Event of Default; and/or (ii) failure to apply Rents and Profits in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents), in each case to the full extent of the funds misappropriated or
misapplied;
(b) Any security deposits not delivered to Lender upon
foreclosure of the Mortgage (or similar sale pursuant to the terms thereof) or an action or conveyance in lieu thereof, except to the extent previously applied in accordance with the terms of the related Lease;
(c) Proceeds (i) paid under any insurance policies (or paid as a result
of any other claim or cause of action against any person or entity) by reason of damage, loss or destruction to all or any portion of the Property, or (ii) resulting from the condemnation or other taking in lieu of condemnation of all or any
portion of the Property, or any of them, in each case to the full extent of such proceeds not previously delivered to Lender, but which, under the terms of the Loan Documents, should have been delivered to Lender;
87
(d) Any willful misconduct by
the Borrower or Guarantor, or any Person acting at the direction of either of them (including, without limitation, removal of any portion of the Property in violation of the terms of the Loan Documents);
(e) Material physical waste committed on the Property by the Borrower or
Guarantor, or any Person acting at the direction of either of them;
(f)
Failure to pay, or make deposits to the Impound Account on account of, any (i) Taxes or Other Charges, or other amounts which (if unpaid) could create liens on any portion of the Property which would be superior to the lien or security title
granted to Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents and which accrue prior to the Lender taking title to the Property, or (ii) premiums on insurance policies required under the Loan Documents to be maintained by Borrower or with respect to the
Property and which accrue prior to Lender taking title to the Property and, in each case to the extent not previously escrowed with Lender, with respect to Taxes and Insurance Premiums and then, only to the extent the Property generated, and the
Borrower received sufficient revenue to escrow and/or pay, such Taxes or Insurance Premiums;
(g) Intentionally omitted;
(h) Fraud or
material misrepresentation or failure to disclose a material fact by Borrower or Guarantor, or any person acting on behalf of, or at the direction of, Borrower or Guarantor;
(i) If the
Ground Lease is amended, modified, or terminated without Lenders prior written consent, or if Borrower surrenders any or all of its interest under the Ground Lease; or
(j) If the representation and warranty given under
Section 4.1(rr)(6) of the Loan Agreement is determined to have been materially false, incomplete, or misleading when given.
Furthermore, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.16 or anything to the contrary in the Loan Documents, the
Loan shall be fully recourse to Borrower (and the exculpatory provisions above shall be of no force or effect) upon the occurrence of any of the following: (A) Borrower fails to obtain Lenders prior written consent to any subordinate
financing or other voluntary lien encumbering the Property or the ownership interests in Borrower (including with respect to a PACE Loan), if such consent is required by the Loan Documents; (B) Borrower fails to obtain Lenders prior
written consent to any Transfer, if such consent is required by Loan Documents; (C) the first Monthly Payment Amount (together with all required payments for Reserves due concurrently therewith) is not paid in full when due; (D) a
bankruptcy petition is filed by, consented to, or acquiesced in by Borrower (or Borrower takes similar voluntary action under any comparable state or federal law); or (E) Borrower or Guarantor (or any Equity Holder or Affiliate of either of the
foregoing) shall have made or colluded with creditors of Borrower (other than Lender) to cause an involuntary bankruptcy filing with respect to Borrower (or similar action under any comparable state or federal law).
Nothing contained in this Section 8.16 shall (1) be deemed to be a release or impairment of the Debt or the
other obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents or the lien of the Loan Documents upon the Property, or (2) preclude Lender from foreclosing the Loan Documents during the continuance of any Event of Default or from enforcing any of the
other rights of Lender except as stated in this section, or (3) reduce, release, relieve, waive, limit or impair in any way whatsoever the liability of Guarantor pursuant to any guaranty or indemnity executed and delivered in connection with
the Loan, or
88
release, relieve, reduce, waive or impair in any way whatsoever, any obligation of any party to such instrument, or (4) waive any right that Lender may have under Section 506 (a), 506
(b), 1111(b) or any other provisions of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code to file a claim for the full amount of the Loan or to require that all Collateral shall continue to secure all of the Debt in accordance with the Loan Documents.
8.17 No Merger. It is the desire and intention of the parties hereto that the
Mortgage and the lien thereof do not merge in fee simple title to the Property. It is hereby understood and agreed that should Lender acquire any additional or other interests in or to the Property or the ownership thereof, then, unless a contrary
intent is manifested by Lender as evidenced by an appropriate document duly recorded, the Mortgage and the lien thereof shall not merge in such other or additional interests in or to the Property, toward the end that the Mortgage may be foreclosed
as if owned by a stranger to said other or additional interests.
8.18 Lender May File Proofs of Claim. In the case of any receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other proceedings affecting Borrower or
the principals or general partners or members in Borrower, or their respective creditors or property, Lender, to the extent permitted by law, shall be entitled to file such proofs of claim and other documents as may be necessary or advisable in
order to have the claims of Lender allowed in such proceedings for the entire Debt at the date of the institution of such proceedings and for any additional amount which may become due and payable by Borrower hereunder after such date.
8.19 No Representation. By accepting delivery of any item required to be observed,
performed or fulfilled or to be given to Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents, including, but not limited to, any officers certificates, balance sheet, statement of profit and loss or other financial statement, survey, appraisal or insurance
policy, and/or by conducting its own underwriting, due diligence and investigations into Borrower, Guarantor, the Property and related matters, Lender shall not be deemed to have warranted, consented to, or affirmed the sufficiency, legality,
effectiveness or legal effect of the same, or of any term, provision or condition thereof, and such acceptance of delivery thereof shall not be or constitute any warranty, consent or affirmation with respect thereto by Lender.
8.20 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts,
each of which shall be effective only upon delivery and thereafter shall be deemed an original, and all of which shall be taken to be one and the same instrument, for the same effect as if all parties hereto had signed the same signature page. Any
signature page of this Agreement may be detached from any counterpart of this Agreement without impairing the legal effect of any signatures thereon and may be attached to another counterpart of this Agreement identical in form hereto but having
attached to it one or more additional signature pages. Each Loan Document other than this Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be effective only upon delivery and thereafter shall be deemed an original, and
all of which shall be taken to be one and the same instrument, for the same effect as if all parties thereto had signed the same signature page. Any signature page of any such Loan Document may be detached from any counterpart of such Loan Document
without impairing the legal effect of any signatures thereon and may be attached to another counterpart of such Loan Document identical in form thereto but having attached to it one or more additional signature pages.
8.21 Recording and Filing. Borrower will cause the Loan Documents and all
amendments and supplements thereto and substitutions therefor to be recorded, filed, re-recorded and re-filed in such manner and in such places as Lender shall reasonably request, and will pay on demand all such recording, filing, re-recording and
re-filing taxes, fees and other charges. Borrower shall reimburse Lender, or its Servicer, for the costs incurred in obtaining a tax service company to verify the status of payment of Taxes and Other Charges on the Property.
89
8.22 Entire Agreement and Modification.
This Agreement and the other Loan Documents contain the entire agreements between the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof and all prior agreements relative hereto and thereto which are not contained herein or therein are
terminated. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents may not be amended, revised, waived, discharged, released or terminated orally but only by a written instrument or instruments executed by the party against which enforcement of the amendment,
revision, waiver, discharge, release or termination is asserted. Any alleged amendment, revision, waiver, discharge, release or termination which is not so documented shall not be effective as to any party.
8.23 Secondary Market Transaction.
(a)
Cooperation. Borrower acknowledges that Lender may effectuate a Secondary Market Transaction. Borrower shall cooperate in good faith with Lender in effecting any such Secondary Market Transaction and shall cooperate in good faith to
implement all requirements imposed by any Investor or Rating Agency involved therein or as may be necessary for Lender to comply with or applicable law (including, without limitation, Regulation AB), including, without limitation, all structural or
other changes to Borrower and/or the Debt, and modifications to any Loan Documents and/or Organizational Documents; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be required to modify any Loan Documents if such modification would
(A) increase the interest rate payable under the Note, (B) shorten the period until the stated maturity of the Note, (C) modify the amortization of principal of the Note, or (D) modify any other material term of the Debt.
Borrower shall provide such information and documents relating to Borrower, any Guarantor, the Property and any Tenants as Lender may reasonably request in connection with such Secondary Market Transaction. Borrower shall make available to Lender
all information concerning its business and operations that Lender may reasonably request. Upon request, Borrower shall furnish to Lender from time to time such financial data and financial statements as Lender determines to be necessary, advisable
or appropriate for complying with any applicable legal requirements (including those applicable to Lender or any Servicer (including, without limitation and to the extent applicable, Regulation AB)) within the timeframes necessary, advisable or
appropriate in order to comply with such legal requirements.
(b)
Rating Confirmation. Borrower acknowledges that, as part of the Securitization Documents, the parties to such Secondary Market Transaction may, in their sole discretion, elect to impose certain requirements as conditions precedent to certain
actions by one or more of the Servicers (including, without limitation, that such Servicer obtain either or both of the approval of one or more Investors (or representatives of one or more Investors) as to certain proposed actions, and/or a Rating
Confirmation). No requirement or condition imposed upon such Servicer pursuant to such Securitization Documents as a condition precedent to the granting or denying of any consent or approval, or the taking or refusal to take of any action, pursuant
to this Agreement (except only for any action required of Lender hereunder) shall give rise to any claim or cause of action by Borrower against Lender, or give Borrower any defense for failure to perform its obligations under the Loan Documents.
Borrower further acknowledges that the cost of any Rating Confirmation required by the Securitization Documents in connection with any matter requiring the approval or consent of Lender shall be payable by Borrower.
(c) Disclosure; Indemnification. Lender shall be permitted to share
all information provided in connection with the Loan with the Investors, Rating Agencies, investment banking firms, accounting firms, law firms and other third-party advisory firms involved with the Loan Documents or the applicable Secondary Market
Transaction. It is understood that the information provided to Lender in connection with the Loan may ultimately be incorporated into the offering documents for the Secondary Market Transaction and thus potential Investors may also see some or all
of the information with respect to the Loan, the Property, Borrower and the Equity Holders. Borrower irrevocably waives any and all rights it may have under any applicable laws (including, without limitation, any right of privacy) to
90
prohibit such disclosure. Lender and all of the aforesaid third-party advisors and professional firms shall be entitled to rely on the information supplied by, or on behalf of, Borrower. Borrower
hereby indemnifies Lender as to any losses, claims, damages or liabilities that arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the information provided by or on behalf of Borrower,
or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated in such information, or necessary in order to make the statements in such information, or in light of the circumstances under
which they were made, not misleading. Lender may publicize the existence of the Loan in connection with its marketing for a Secondary Market Transaction or otherwise as part of its business development.
8.24 New Mezzanine Loan. Lender, without in any way limiting Lenders other
rights hereunder, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall have the right at any time to require Borrower to restructure a portion of the Loan into a mezzanine loan (the New Mezzanine Loan) to the owners of the direct equity
interests in Borrower, secured by a pledge of such direct equity interests, the establishment of different interest rates and debt service payments for the Loan and the New Mezzanine Loan and the payment of the Loan and the New Mezzanine Loan in
such order of priority as may be designated by Lender; provided, that (a) (i) the total amounts of the Loan and the New Mezzanine Loan shall equal the amount of the Loan immediately prior to the restructuring, (ii) the weighted
average interest rate of the Loan and the New Mezzanine Loan, shall on the date created equal the interest rate which was applicable to the Loan immediately prior to the restructuring and (iii) the debt service payments on the Loan and the New
Mezzanine Loan shall on the date created equal the debt service payment which was due under the Loan immediately prior to the restructuring; provided that any such restructuring carried out after the closing of the Loan shall be at no material cost
to Borrower, and provided, further, that if Borrower is not an SPE-Qualifying LLC, no SPE Component Entity shall be the borrower of (and the ownership interests of any SPE Component Entity shall not be collateral for) such New
Mezzanine Loan, but appropriate structural changes shall be made to result in comparable effect. Borrower shall cooperate with all reasonable requests of Lender in order to restructure the Loan and create the New Mezzanine Loan and shall
(A) execute and deliver such documents including, without limitation, in the case of the New Mezzanine Loan, a mezzanine note, a mezzanine loan agreement, a pledge and security agreement and a mezzanine deposit account agreement, (B) cause
Borrowers counsel to deliver such legal opinions and (C) create such bankruptcy remote borrower under the New Mezzanine Loan as, in the case of each of (A), (B) and (C) above, shall be reasonably required by Lender and required
by any Rating Agency in connection therewith, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender and satisfactory to any such Rating Agency, including the severance of this Agreement, the Mortgage and other Loan Documents if requested. In
the event Borrower fails to execute and deliver such documents to Lender within ten (10) Business Days following such request by Lender, Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints Lender as its true and lawful attorney, coupled with an
interest, in its name and stead to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect such transactions, Borrower ratifying all that such attorney shall do by virtue thereof. It shall be an Event of Default if Borrower fails to comply
with any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Section 8.24 after the expiration of ten (10) Business Days after notice thereof.
8.25 Component Notes. Lender, without in any way limiting Lenders other rights
hereunder, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall have the right at any time to require Borrower to execute and deliver component notes (which may include senior and junior notes), which notes may be paid in such order of priority as
may be designated by Lender, provided that (a) the aggregate principal amount of such component notes shall equal the outstanding principal balance of the Loan immediately prior to the
91
creation of such component notes, (b) the weighted average interest rate of all such component notes shall on the date created equal the interest rate which was
applicable to the Loan immediately prior to the creation of such component notes, (c) the debt service payments on all such component notes shall on the date created equal the debt service payment which was due under the
Loan immediately prior to the creation of such component notes and (d) the other terms and provisions of each of the component notes shall be identical in substance and substantially similar in form to the Loan Documents. Borrower
shall cooperate with all reasonable requests of Lender in order to establish the component notes and shall execute and deliver such documents as shall reasonably be required by Lender in connection therewith, all in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to Lender, including, without limitation, the severance of security documents if requested. It shall be an Event of Default if Borrower fails to comply with any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this
Section 8.25 after the expiration of ten (10) Business Days after notice thereof.
8.26 Updated Appraisals. Lender shall have the right to cause to be prepared,
from time to time, at Borrowers expense, a new or updated appraisal of the Property prepared by an M.A.I. appraiser selected by Lender; provided that absent the existence of an Event of Default, Borrower shall not be required to pay for the
cost of such new or updated appraisal. In connection with any new or updated appraisal of the Property requested by Lender, Borrower shall cooperate with Lender and the appraiser in connection therewith, and shall provide to the appraiser such
information as the appraiser shall request in order to prepare such new or updated appraisal.
8.27 SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.
(a) BORROWER, TO THE FULL EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, HEREBY
KNOWINGLY, INTENTIONALLY AND VOLUNTARILY, WITH AND UPON THE ADVICE OF COMPETENT COUNSEL, (i) SUBMITS TO PERSONAL JURISDICTION IN THE STATE IN WHICH THE REAL ESTATE IS LOCATED OVER ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BY ANY PERSON ARISING FROM OR
RELATING TO THE NOTE, THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, (ii) AGREES THAT ANY SUCH ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING MAY BE BROUGHT IN ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION OVER THE COUNTY IN WHICH THE REAL ESTATE IS
LOCATED, (iii) SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS, AND, (iv) TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, AGREES THAT IT WILL NOT BRING ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING IN ANY OTHER FORUM (BUT NOTHING HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF
LENDER TO BRING ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING IN ANY OTHER FORUM). BORROWER FURTHER CONSENTS AND AGREES TO SERVICE OF ANY SUMMONS, COMPLAINT OR OTHER LEGAL PROCESS IN ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BY CERTIFIED U.S. MAIL, POSTAGE PREPAID, TO
BORROWER AT THE ADDRESS FOR NOTICES DESCRIBED IN SECTION 8.5, AND CONSENTS AND AGREES THAT SUCH SERVICE SHALL CONSTITUTE IN EVERY RESPECT VALID AND EFFECTIVE SERVICE (BUT NOTHING HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE VALIDITY OR EFFECTIVENESS OF
PROCESS SERVED IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW).
(b) LENDER AND
BORROWER, TO THE FULL EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, EACH HEREBY KNOWINGLY, INTENTIONALLY AND VOLUNTARILY, WITH AND UPON THE ADVICE OF COMPETENT COUNSEL, WAIVES, RELINQUISHES AND FOREVER FORGOES THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING
BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF, OR IN ANY WAY RELATING TO THE DEBT OR ANY CONDUCT, ACT OR OMISSION OF LENDER OR BORROWER, OR ANY OF THEIR DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, PARTNERS, MEMBERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS OR ATTORNEYS, OR ANY OTHER PERSONS AFFILIATED WITH LENDER
OR BORROWER, IN EACH OF THE FOREGOING CASES, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE.
8.28 State-Specific Provisions. The following provisions shall govern and
control in the event of a conflict with any other provision of this Agreement:
(a) SPECIFIC NOTICE. IT IS EXPRESSLY AGREED AND UNDERSTOOD THAT THE
INDEMNIFICATION PROVISIONS SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT OBLIGATE BORROWER TO INDEMNIFY LENDER FROM ALL CLAIMS OR LOSSES INCURRED OR SUFFERED BY LENDER, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THOSE RESULTING FROM THE JOINT, CONCURRENT OR COMPARATIVE
NEGLIGENCE OF LENDER, NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED IN SUCH INDEMNIFICATION PROVISIONS.
92
(b) Interest
Calculation. The following language is hereby added to the end of Section 2.2(b) of this Agreement:
If calculating interest based on a 360 day year would result in a usurious rate, interest shall be calculated on the
per annum basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be.
(c) Definitions.
(i)
The definition of Interest Rate under Section 1.1 of this Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and the following substituted therefor:
Interest Rate shall mean a rate equal to the lesser of 4.79% per annum or the Highest Lawful Rate.
(ii) The following definition is added to
Section 1.1:
Highest Lawful Rate as used herein shall mean, with respect to the Lender, the
maximum nonusurious interest rate, if any, that at any time or from time to time may be contracted for, taken, reserved, charged or received on the Debt under laws applicable to the Lender that are presently in effect or, to the extent allowed by
law, under such applicable laws that may hereafter be in effect and that allow a higher maximum nonusurious interest rate than applicable laws now allow.
(iii) The definition of Environmental Laws as
used in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall include, without limitation, the Texas Solid Waste Disposal Act (V.T.C.A. Health and Safety Code §361.001 et. Seq.), the Texas Water Code (V.T.C.A. Water Code §§26.001-26.407)
and Risk Reduction Standard No. 1 (30 Tex. Adm. Code §335.554).
(d) Replacement of the Term Maximum Legal Rate for Highest Lawful
Rate.
(i) The definition of Maximum Legal
Rate is hereby deleted and the phrase Maximum Legal Rate is hereby deleted wherever used in any of the Loan Documents and the phrase Highest Lawful Rate substituted therefore.
(e) Compliance with Usury Laws.
It is the intention of the parties hereto to conform strictly to applicable usury laws. Accordingly, if the transactions contemplated
hereby would be usurious under any such applicable law, then, and in that event, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, or in any other instrument or agreement entered into in connection with or as security for the Loan, it is
agreed as follows:
(i) the aggregate of all
consideration that constitutes interest under any such applicable law and that is contracted for, charged or received under this Agreement and the Note, or under any of the aforesaid instruments or agreements or otherwise in connection with this
Agreement and the Note (whether designated as interest, fees, late charges, payments or otherwise) shall under no circumstances exceed the maximum amount of interest permitted by any such applicable law and any excess shall be cancelled
automatically and, if theretofore paid, shall be credited on the Note by Lender (or, if the Note has been paid in full, refunded to Borrower);
93
(ii) in the
event that the Maturity Date is accelerated by reason of an Event of Default under this Agreement, or otherwise, then such consideration that constitutes interest may never include more than the maximum amount permitted by any such applicable law,
and excess interest, if any, provided for in this Agreement and the Note, or otherwise, shall be canceled automatically as of the date of such acceleration or prepayment, and, if theretofore paid, shall be credited on the Note (or, if the Note has
been paid in full, refunded to Borrower);
(iii) to the
extent that Lender is relying on Chapter 303, as amended, of the Texas Finance Code to determine the maximum amount of interest permitted by applicable law on the principal of the Note, Lender will utilize the weekly rate ceiling from time to time
in effect as provided in such Chapter 303, as amended. To the extent United States federal law permits a greater amount of Interest than is permitted under Texas law, Lender will rely on United States federal law instead of such Chapter 303, as
amended, for the purpose of determining the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. Additionally, to the extent permitted by applicable law now or hereafter in effect, Lender may, at its option and from time to time, implement any other method
of computing the maximum lawful rate under such Chapter 303, as amended, or under other applicable law by giving notice, if required, to maker as provided by applicable law now or hereafter in effect. In no event shall the provisions of chapter 346
of the Texas Finance Code (which regulates certain revolving credit loan accounts and revolving triparty accounts) apply to the indebtedness evidenced by the Loan Documents; and
(iv) all sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the
use, forbearance or detention of the indebtedness evidenced hereby shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full term of such indebtedness until payment in full so that the rate or
amount of interest on account of any such indebtedness does not exceed the applicable usury ceiling.

Section 2.2 Interest Rate.
2.2.1 Interest Rate. Interest on the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Loan shall
accrue at the Interest Rate or as otherwise set forth in this Agreement or in the Note from (and including) the Closing Date to but excluding the Maturity Date.
2.2.2 Interest Calculation. Interest on the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Loan
shall be calculated by multiplying (a) the actual number of days elapsed in the relevant Accrual Period by (b) a daily rate based on the Interest Rate and a three hundred sixty (360) day year by (c) the then Outstanding Principal
Balance of the Loan. Borrower acknowledges that the calculation method for interest described herein results in a higher effective interest rate than the numeric Interest Rate and Borrower hereby agrees to this calculation method.
2.2.3 Default Rate. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default
(including the failure of Borrower to make full payment of the Debt on the Maturity Date), Lender shall be entitled to receive and Borrower shall pay interest on the Outstanding Principal Balance at the Default Rate. Interest shall accrue and be
payable at the Default Rate from the occurrence of an Event of Default until all Events of Default have been waived in writing by Lender, or the cure thereof accepted by Lender in its reasonable discretion, or, with respect to any monetary Events of
Default, all amounts due Lender (together will all applicable interest and penalties) on account of such monetary Events of Default shall be paid in full to Lender. Such accrued interest, to the extent unpaid, shall be added to the Outstanding
Principal Balance, and interest shall accrue thereon at the Default Rate until fully paid. Such accrued interest shall be secured by the Security Instrument and other Loan Documents. Borrower agrees that Lenders right to collect interest at
the Default Rate is given for the purpose of compensating Lender at reasonable amounts for Lenders added costs and expenses that occur as a result of Borrowers Event of Default and that are difficult to predict in amount, such as
increased general overhead, concentration of management resources on problem loans, and increased cost of funds. Lender and Borrower agree that Lenders collection of interest at the Default Rate is not a fine or penalty, but is intended to be
and shall be deemed to be reasonable compensation to Lender for increased costs and expenses that Lender will incur if there occurs an Event of Default hereunder. Collection of interest at the Default Rate shall not be construed as an agreement or
privilege to extend the Maturity Date or to limit
29
or impair any rights and remedies of Lender under any Loan Documents. If judgment is entered on the Note, interest shall continue to accrue post-judgment at the greater of (a) the Default
Rate or (b) the applicable statutory judgment rate.
2.2.4 Usury
Savings. This Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents are subject to the express condition that at no time shall Borrower be obligated or required to pay interest on the principal balance of the Loan at a rate which is in excess of
the Maximum Legal Rate. If, by the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the principal balance due hereunder at a rate in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate, the Interest
Rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to the Maximum Legal Rate and all previous payments in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of principal and not
on account of the interest due hereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the sums due under the Loan, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and
spread throughout the full stated term of the Loan until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Loan does not exceed the Maximum Legal Rate of interest from time to time in effect and applicable to the Loan for so
long as the Loan is outstanding.
Section 2.3 Loan Payment.
Payments of principal, interest, and Late Charges (as defined in the Note) shall be made as provided in the Note.
Section 2.4 Prepayments. Except as provided in Section 9 of the
Note, Borrower shall not have the right to prepay the Loan in whole or in part prior to the Maturity Date.
Section 2.5 Intentionally Deleted.
Section 2.6 Release of Property. Except as set forth in this
Section 2.6, no repayment, prepayment of all or any portion of the Loan shall cause, give rise to a right to require, or otherwise result in, the release of the Lien of the Security Instrument on the Property.
2.6.1 Release of Property. (a) If Borrower has the right to and has elected to
prepay in full the Loan in accordance with this Agreement and the Note, upon satisfaction of the requirements of Section 2.4 and Section 9 of the Note, as applicable, and this Section 2.6, either (x) all of the
Property shall be released from the Lien of the Security Instrument, or (y) Lender shall cooperate with Borrower, at Borrowers cost, to assign the Security Instrument and other relevant Loan Documents to such new lender as is designated
by Borrower.
(b) In connection with the release of the Security
Instrument, Borrower shall submit to Lender, not less than ten (10) days prior to the Prepayment Date, either (x) a release of Lien (and related Loan Documents) for the Property, or (y) such assignment documents, satisfactory to
Lender in its discretion, as are required to transfer and assign the Note, the Security Instrument
30
and any related loan documents to a new lender designated by Borrower in lieu of discharging the Note and satisfying the Security Instrument and related loan documents, for execution by Lender.
Such release or assignment documents shall be in a form appropriate in the jurisdiction in which the Property is located and that would be satisfactory to a prudent lender and contains standard provisions, if any, protecting the rights of the
releasing or assigning lender. In addition, Borrower shall provide all other documentation Lender reasonably requires to be delivered by Borrower in connection with such release or assignment, together with an Officers Certificate certifying
that such documentation (i) is, to the actual knowledge of officer signing such Officers Certificate, in compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements, and (ii) will effect such releases or transfers and assignments in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement. Borrower shall reimburse Lender and Servicer for any reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses Lender and Servicer incur arising from such release (including reasonable attorneys fees and
expenses for outside counsel) and Borrower shall pay, in connection with such release or assignment documents, (i) all recording charges, filing fees, taxes or other expenses payable in connection therewith, and (ii) to any Servicer, a
processing fee in an amount determined by Lender or Servicer in its reasonable discretion, not to exceed the customary amount typically charged by such Servicer in connection therewith.
Section 2.7 Clearing Account/Cash Management.
2.7.1 Clearing Account. (a) During the term of the Loan, Borrower shall establish
and maintain an Eligible Account (the Clearing Account) with Clearing Bank for the benefit of Lender, which Clearing Account shall be under the sole dominion and control of Lender. The Clearing Account shall be entitled in the
name of Borrower for the benefit of Lender. Borrower hereby grants to Lender a security interest in the Clearing Account and all deposits at any time contained therein and the proceeds thereof and shall take (or shall authorize Lender to take) all
actions reasonably necessary to maintain in favor of Lender a perfected first priority security interest in the Clearing Account, including filing UCC-1 Financing Statements and continuations thereof. Lender and Servicer shall have the sole right to
make withdrawals from the Clearing Account. All reasonable and customary costs and expenses for establishing and maintaining the Clearing Account shall be paid by Borrower. All monies now or hereafter deposited into the Clearing Account shall be
deemed additional security for the Debt. The Clearing Account Agreement and Clearing Account shall remain in effect until the Loan has been repaid in full.
(b) Borrower shall, and shall cause Manager to, deposit all amounts received by
Borrower or Manager constituting Rents into the Clearing Account within two (2) Business Days after receipt thereof. Until so deposited, all Rents received by Borrower or Manager shall be held in trust for the benefit of Lender and shall not be
commingled with any other funds or property of Borrower or Manager.
(c) Borrower shall obtain from Clearing Bank its agreement to transfer on each
Business Day all amounts on deposit in the Clearing Account at the direction of Borrower unless a Cash Sweep Period is in effect, in which case such funds shall be transferred to the Cash Management Account.
31
(d) Upon the occurrence and during
the continuance of an Event of Default or any Bankruptcy Action of Borrower or Manager, Lender may, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies available to Lender, apply any sums then present in the Clearing Account to the payment of the
Debt in any order in its discretion..
(e) The Clearing Account shall not
be commingled with other monies held by Borrower, Manager or Clearing Bank.
(f) Borrower shall not further pledge, assign or grant any security interest in
the Clearing Account or the monies deposited therein or permit any lien or encumbrance to attach thereto, or any levy to be made thereon, or any UCC-1 Financing Statements, except those naming Lender as the secured party, to be filed with respect
thereto.
(g) Borrower shall indemnify Lender and hold Lender harmless from
and against any and all actions, suits, claims, demands, liabilities, losses, damages, obligations and the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including litigation costs and reasonable attorneys fees and expenses for
outside counsel) arising from or in any way connected with the Clearing Account or the Clearing Account Agreement (unless arising from the gross negligence, willful misconduct, or bad faith of Lender) or the performance of the obligations for which
the Clearing Account was established.
(h) Upon (i) Clearing Bank
ceasing to be an Eligible Institution, (ii) the Clearing Account ceasing to be an Eligible Account, (iii) any resignation by Clearing Bank or termination of the Clearing Account Agreement by Clearing Bank or Lender in accordance with the
terms and conditions of the Loan Documents or (iv) the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower shall, within fifteen (15) days of Lenders written request, (A) terminate the existing Clearing Account
Agreement, (B) appoint a new Clearing Bank (which such Clearing Bank shall (I) be an Eligible Institution, (II) other than during the continuance of an Event of Default, be selected by Borrower and reasonably approved by Lender and
(III) during the continuance of an Event of Default, be selected by Lender), (C) cause such Clearing Bank to open a new Clearing Account (which such account shall be an Eligible Account) and enter into a new Clearing Account Agreement with
Lender on substantially the same terms and conditions as the previous Clearing Account Agreement and (D) send any notices required pursuant to the terms hereof relating to such new Clearing Account Agreement and Clearing Account. Borrower
constitutes and appoints Lender its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution to complete or undertake any action required of Borrower under this Section 2.7.1 in the name of Borrower in the event Borrower fails to
do the same as required hereunder. Such power of attorney shall be deemed to be a power coupled with an interest and cannot be revoked.
2.7.2 Cash Management Account. (a) Upon the occurrence of a Cash Sweep Event, a
segregated Eligible Account (the Cash Management Account) shall be established and maintained with Agent in Borrowers name for the benefit of Lender, which Cash Management Account shall be under the sole dominion and control
of Lender. Borrower hereby grants to Lender a security interest in the Cash Management Account and all deposits at any time contained therein and the proceeds thereof and shall take (or shall authorize Lender to take) all actions reasonably
necessary to maintain in favor of Lender a perfected first priority security interest in the Cash Management Account, including filing UCC-1
32
Financing Statements and continuations thereof. Lender and Servicer shall have the sole right to make withdrawals from the Cash Management Account and all reasonable and customary costs and
expenses for establishing and maintaining the Cash Management Account shall be paid by Borrower.
(b) The insufficiency of funds on deposit in the Cash Management Account
shall not relieve Borrower from the obligation to make any payments, as and when due pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and such obligations shall be separate and independent, and not conditioned on any event or circumstance
whatsoever.
(c) All funds on deposit in the Cash Management Account
following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default or any Bankruptcy Action of Borrower or Manager may be applied by Lender in such order and priority as Lender shall determine.
(d) Borrower hereby agrees that Lender may modify the Cash Management Agreement
for the purpose of establishing additional sub-accounts in connection with any payments otherwise required under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and Lender shall provide notice thereof to Borrower.
2.7.3 Payments Received under the Cash Management Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, and provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrowers obligations with respect to the payment of the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount and amounts
required to be deposited into the Reserve Funds, if any, shall be deemed satisfied to the extent sufficient amounts are deposited in the Cash Management Account to satisfy such obligations pursuant to this Agreement on the dates each such payment is
required, regardless of whether any of such amounts are so applied by Lender.

delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. This Agreement and such other Loan Documents have been duly executed and delivered by or on behalf of Borrower and constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of Borrower

encumbrance (other than pursuant to the Loan Documents) upon any of the property or assets of Borrower pursuant to the terms of any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, partnership agreement, management agreement or other agreement or
instrument to which Borrower is a party or by which any of the Property or Borrowers assets is subject, nor will such action result in any material violation of the provisions of any statute or any order, rule or regulation of any Governmental

34
4.1.5 Agreements. Borrower is not a party to
any agreement or instrument or, to Borrowers actual knowledge, subject to any restriction which would materially and adversely affect Borrower or the Property, or Borrowers business, properties or assets, operations or condition,
financial or otherwise. To its actual knowledge, Borrower is not in default, beyond any applicable notice and cure period, in any material respect in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions
contained in any agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which, to its actual knowledge, Borrower or the Property is bound. Borrower has no material financial obligation under any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement or
other agreement or instrument to which Borrower is a party or by which, to its actual knowledge, Borrower or the Property is otherwise bound, other than (a) obligations incurred in the ordinary course of the operation of the Property as
permitted pursuant to clause (xxiii) of the definition of Special Purpose Entity set forth in Section 1.1 hereof and (b) obligations under the Loan Documents.
4.1.6 Title. Borrower has good, marketable and insurable fee simple title to the real
property comprising part of the Property and good title to the balance of the Property, free and clear of all Liens whatsoever except the Permitted Encumbrances, such other Liens as may be expressly permitted pursuant to the Loan Documents and the
Liens created by the Loan Documents. The Permitted Encumbrances in the aggregate do not materially and adversely affect the operation or use of the Property (as currently used) or Borrowers ability to repay the Loan. The Security Instrument,
when properly recorded in the appropriate records, together with any Uniform Commercial Code financing statements required to be filed in connection therewith, will create (a) a valid, perfected lien on the Property, subject only to Permitted
Encumbrances and the Liens created by the Loan Documents and (b) perfected security interests in and to, and perfected collateral assignments of, all personalty (including the Leases), all in accordance with the terms thereof, in each case
subject only to any applicable Permitted Encumbrances, such other Liens as are permitted pursuant to the Loan Documents and the Liens created by the Loan Documents. There are no claims for payment for work, labor or materials affecting the Property
which are or may become a Lien prior to, or of equal priority with, the Liens created by the Loan Documents.
4.1.7 Solvency. Borrower has (a) not entered into this transaction or executed the
Note, this Agreement or any other Loan Documents with the actual intent to hinder, delay or defraud any creditor and (b) received reasonably equivalent value in exchange for its obligations under such Loan Documents. Giving effect to the Loan,
the fair saleable value of Borrowers assets exceeds and will, immediately following the making of the Loan, exceed Borrowers total known liabilities, including subordinated, unliquidated, disputed and contingent liabilities. The fair
saleable value of Borrowers assets is and will, immediately following the making of the Loan, be greater than Borrowers total known liabilities, including the maximum amount of its contingent liabilities on its debts as such debts become
absolute and matured. Borrowers assets do not and, immediately following the making of the Loan will not, constitute unreasonably small capital to carry out its business as conducted or as proposed to be conducted. Borrower does not intend to,
and does not believe, as of the date hereof, that it will, incur debt and liabilities (including contingent liabilities and other commitments) beyond its
35
ability to pay such debt and liabilities as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be received by Borrower and the amounts to be payable on or in respect of
obligations of Borrower). No petition in bankruptcy has been filed against Borrower or Principal in the last seven (7) years, and neither Borrower nor Principal in the last seven (7) years has ever made an assignment for the benefit of
creditors or taken advantage of any insolvency act for the benefit of debtors. Neither Borrower nor Principal are contemplating either the filing of a petition by it under any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency laws or the liquidation of all
or a major portion of Borrowers assets or property, and Borrower has no actual knowledge of any Person contemplating the filing of any such petition against it or Principal.
4.1.8 Full and Accurate Disclosure. No statement of fact made by Borrower in this
Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make statements contained herein or therein not misleading. There is no material fact presently known
to Borrower which has not been disclosed to Lender which materially adversely affects, nor as far as Borrower can reasonably foresee, would reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect, the Property or the business, operations or financial
condition of Borrower.
4.1.9 No Plan Assets. Borrower does not sponsor, is not
obligated to contribute to, and is not itself an employee benefit plan, as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, subject to Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, and none of the assets of Borrower constitutes or will
constitute plan assets of one or more such plans within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101. In addition, (a) Borrower is not a governmental plan within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA and
(b) transactions by or with Borrower are not subject to any state or other statute, regulation or other restriction regulating investments of, or fiduciary obligations with respect to, governmental plans within the meaning of Section 3(32)
of ERISA which is similar to the provisions of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and which prohibit or otherwise restrict the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the exercise by Lender of any of its rights
under the Loan Documents.
4.1.10 Compliance. Except as otherwise set forth in the Environmental
Report, Title Insurance Policy, any property condition report or zoning report delivered to Lender by or on behalf of Borrower in connection with the Loan, Borrower and, to Borrowers knowledge, the Property and the use thereof comply in all
material respects with all applicable Legal Requirements, including building and zoning ordinances and codes. To Borrowers knowledge, it is not in material default or violation of any order, writ, injunction, decree or demand of any
Governmental Authority. To Borrowers knowledge, there has not been committed by Borrower or any other Person in occupancy of or involved with the operation or use of the Property any act or omission affording the federal government or any
other Governmental Authority the right of forfeiture as against the Property or any part thereof or any monies paid in performance of Borrowers obligations under any of the Loan Documents. Except as otherwise set forth in the Environmental
Report, Title Insurance Policy, any property condition report or zoning report delivered to Lender in connection with the Loan, to the knowledge of the Borrower, on the Closing Date, the Improvements at the Property were in material compliance with
applicable law.

periods covered, except as disclosed therein. Except for Permitted Encumbrances or as otherwise permitted pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Loan Documents, Borrower does not have any contingent liabilities, liabilities for delinquent
taxes, unusual forward or long-term commitments or unrealized or anticipated losses from any unfavorable commitments that are known to Borrower and reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Property or the current operation thereof,
except as referred to or reflected in said financial statements or otherwise disclosed to Lender in writing. Since the date of such financial statements, there has been no material adverse change in the financial condition or business of Borrower
from that set forth in said financial statements.

Property without passing over other property) or in recorded easements serving the Property and such easements are set forth in and insured by the Title Insurance Policy. Except as otherwise disclosed in the Survey or the Title Insurance Policy, all

4.1.18 Enforceability. The Loan Documents are enforceable by Lender (or any subsequent holder
thereof) in accordance with their respective terms, subject to principles of equity and bankruptcy, insolvency and other laws generally applicable to creditors rights and the enforcement of debtors obligations. The Loan Documents are not
subject to any right of rescission, set off, counterclaim or defense by Borrower or Guarantor, including the defense of usury, nor would the operation of any of the terms of the Loan Documents, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render the
Loan Documents unenforceable (subject to principles of equity and bankruptcy, insolvency and other laws generally affecting creditors rights and the enforcement of debtors obligations), and neither Borrower nor Guarantor has asserted any
right of rescission, set off, counterclaim or defense with respect thereto.
4.1.19 No Prior

related, and incidental uses.

Property; provided, however, that no such termination or surrender of any Significant Lease will be permitted without the prior written consent of Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed; (iii) shall

notwithstanding the date of the original request. In the event that Lender fails to respond to the applicable matter in question within such time frame as set forth above, Borrower shall submit a second request for approval with respect to such
matter in accordance with the above conditions, including marking the request in bold lettering as described above. In the event that Lender fails to respond to the applicable matter in question within five (5) Business Days from receipt of
such second written request, Lenders failure to respond shall constitute Lenders deemed approval for all purposes related to the particular approval request. Borrower shall provide Lender with such information and documentation as may be
reasonably required by Lender, including, without limitation, lease comparables and other market information as reasonably required by Lender.

55
amounts and as additional security for Borrowers obligations under the Loan Documents any of the following: (A) cash, (B) U.S. Obligations, (C) other securities having a
rating acceptable to Lender and that, if required by under the operative documents in connection with any Securitization, the applicable Rating Agencies have confirmed in writing will not, in and of itself, result in a downgrade, withdrawal or

sight draft only) issued by a financial institution having a rating by S&P of not less than A-1+ if the term of such bond or letter of credit is no longer than three (3) months or, if such term is in excess of three

will not, in and of itself, result in a downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the initial, or, if higher, then current ratings assigned to any Securities or class thereof in connection with any Securitization. Such security shall be in an amount
equal to the excess of the total unpaid amounts with respect to alterations to the Improvements on the Property (other than such amounts to be paid or reimbursed by Tenants under the Leases) over the Threshold Amount and Lender may apply such
security from time to time at the option of Lender to pay for such alterations.

Lender, or such greater amount as Lender shall require, and (z) earthquake insurance in amounts and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender (but in any event, in an amount not less than 150% of the probable maximum
loss) in the event the Property is located in an area with a high degree of seismic activity and the probable maximum loss for the Improvements, as determined by an engineer reasonably satisfactory to Lender, is 20% or
65

indemnity endorsement which provides that after the physical loss to the Improvements and Personal Property has been repaired, the continued loss of income will be insured until such income either returns to the same level it was at prior to the
loss, or the expiration of 180 days from the date that the Property is repaired or replaced and operations are resumed, whichever first occurs, and notwithstanding that the policy may expire prior to the end of such period. The amount of such
business income or rental loss insurance shall be determined prior to the date hereof and at least once each year thereafter based on Borrowers reasonable estimate of the gross revenues from the Property for the succeeding twelve
(12) month period. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.7.1 hereof, all proceeds payable to Lender pursuant to this subsection shall be held by Lender and shall be applied to the obligations secured by the Loan Documents from
time to time due and payable hereunder and under the Note; provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall be deemed to relieve Borrower of its obligations to pay the obligations secured by the Loan Documents on the respective
dates of payment provided for in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents except to the extent such amounts are actually paid out of the proceeds of such business income insurance;

(ix) the insurance required under this Section 6.1(a) above

times during the term of the Loan; and
(x) upon sixty
(60) days written notice, such other reasonable insurance, including sinkhole or land subsidence insurance, and in such reasonable amounts as Lender from time to time may reasonably request against such other insurable hazards which at the time
are commonly insured against for property similar to the Property located in or around the region in which the Property is located.
(b) All insurance provided for in Section 6.1(a) hereof, shall be
obtained under valid and enforceable policies (collectively, the Policies or in the singular, the Policy), and shall be subject to the approval of Lender as to insurance companies, amounts, deductibles, loss
payees and insureds. The Policies shall be issued by financially sound and responsible insurance companies authorized to do business in the State and having a rating of (A) if the amount of the Loan is $35,000,000 or more, A:VIII or
better in the current Bests Insurance Reports and a claims paying ability rating of A- or better by S&P, and A3 or better by Moodys or (B) if the amount of the Loan is less than $35,000,000,

liability protection) shall designate Lender as loss payee. Not less than ten (10) days prior to the expiration dates of the Policies theretofore furnished to Lender, certificates of insurance evidencing the Policies accompanied by evidence
reasonably satisfactory to Lender of payment of the premiums due thereunder (the Insurance Premiums), shall be delivered by Borrower to Lender.
(c) Any blanket insurance Policy shall specifically allocate to the Property
the amount of coverage from time to time required hereunder and shall otherwise provide the same protection as would a separate Policy insuring only the Property in compliance with the provisions of Section 6.1(a) hereof.
(d) All Policies provided for or contemplated by Section 6.1(a)
hereof, except for the Policy referenced in Section 6.1(a)(vii) of this Agreement, shall name Borrower as the insured and Lender as the additional insured, as its interests may appear, and in the case of property damage, boiler and
machinery, flood and earthquake insurance, shall contain a so-called New York standard non-contributing mortgagee clause in favor of Lender providing that the loss thereunder shall be payable to Lender.
(e) All Policies shall contain clauses or endorsements to the effect that:
(i) no act or negligence of Borrower, or anyone acting for
Borrower, or of any Tenant or other occupant, or failure to comply with the provisions of any Policy, which might otherwise result in a forfeiture of the insurance or any part thereof, shall in any way affect the validity or enforceability of the
insurance insofar as Lender is concerned;
(ii) the Policy shall
not be materially changed (other than to increase the coverage provided thereby) or canceled without at least thirty (30) days written notice to Lender and any other party named therein as an additional insured;
(iii) the issuers thereof shall give written notice to Lender if the Policy
has not been renewed thirty (30) days prior to its expiration; and
(iv) Lender shall not be liable for any Insurance Premiums thereon or
subject to any assessments thereunder.
(f) If at any time Lender is not in
receipt of written evidence that all insurance required hereunder is in full force and effect, Lender shall have the right, without notice to Borrower, to take such action as Lender deems reasonably necessary to protect its interest in the Property,
including the obtaining of such insurance coverage as Lender in its reasonable discretion deems appropriate after three (3) Business Days notice to Borrower if prior to the date upon which any such coverage will lapse or at any time Lender
deems reasonably necessary (regardless of prior notice to Borrower) to avoid the lapse of any such coverage. All premiums incurred by Lender in connection with such action or in obtaining such insurance and keeping it in effect shall be paid by
Borrower to Lender upon demand and, until paid, shall be secured by the Security Instrument and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.
68
Section 6.2 Casualty. If
the Property shall be damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty (a Casualty), Borrower shall give prompt written notice of such damage to Lender and shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the
completion of the Restoration of the Property pursuant to Section 6.4 hereof as nearly as possible to the condition the Property was in immediately prior to such Casualty, with such alterations as may be reasonably approved by Lender and
otherwise in accordance with Section 6.4 hereof. Borrower shall pay all costs of such Restoration whether or not such costs are covered by insurance. Lender may, but shall not be obligated to make proof of loss if not made promptly by
Borrower. In addition, Lender may participate in any settlement discussions with any insurance companies (and shall approve the final settlement, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed) with respect to any
Casualty in which the Net Proceeds or the costs of completing the Restoration are equal to or greater than the Availability Threshold and Borrower shall deliver to Lender all instruments required by Lender to permit such participation.
Section 6.3 Condemnation. Promptly after becoming aware of the same,
Borrower shall give Lender notice of the actual or threatened commencement of any proceeding for the Condemnation of the Property and shall deliver to Lender copies of any and all papers served in connection with such proceedings. Lender may
participate in any such proceedings, and Borrower shall from time to time deliver to Lender all instruments reasonably requested by it to permit such participation. Borrower shall, at its expense, diligently prosecute any such proceedings, and shall
consult with Lender, its attorneys and experts, and reasonably cooperate with them in the carrying on or defense of any such proceedings. Notwithstanding any taking by any public or quasi-public authority through Condemnation or otherwise (including
any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of the exercise of such taking), Borrower shall continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided for its payment in the Note and in this Agreement and the Debt shall not be reduced until
any Award shall have been actually received and applied by Lender, after the deduction of the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses of collection, to the reduction or discharge of the Debt. Lender shall not be limited to the interest paid
on the Award by the condemning authority but shall be entitled to receive out of the Award interest at the rate or rates provided herein or in the Note. If any portion of the Property is taken by a condemning authority, Borrower shall promptly
commence and diligently prosecute the Restoration of the Property pursuant to Section 6.4 hereof and otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 6.4 hereof. If the Property is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior
to the receipt by Lender of the Award, Lender shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Note shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive the Award, or a portion thereof sufficient to pay the Debt. Notwithstanding
the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.3, and Section 6.4 hereof, if the Loan or any portion thereof is included in a REMIC Trust and, immediately following a release of any portion of the Lien of the Security Instrument
in connection with a Condemnation (but taking into account any proposed Restoration on the remaining portion of the Property), the Loan to Value Ratio is greater than 125% (such value to be determined, in Lenders sole discretion, by any
commercially reasonable method permitted to a REMIC Trust and, if the Property is a hospitality property, determination of such value shall exclude personal property and going concern value, if any), the principal balance of the Loan must be paid
down in an amount sufficient to satisfy the REMIC Requirements, unless the Lender receives an opinion of counsel that if such amount is not paid, the Securitization will not fail to maintain its
69
status as a REMIC Trust and that the REMIC Trust will not be subject to tax as a result of the related release of such portion of the Lien of the Security Instrument. In connection with the
foregoing, the Net Proceeds shall not be available for Restoration and shall be used to pay down the principal balance of the Loan to the extent set forth above (i.e. to the extent required to sufficient to satisfy the REMIC Requirements) and shall
thereafter be made available to Borrower for Restoration.
Section 6.4 Restoration. The following provisions shall apply in
connection with the Restoration of the Property:
(a) If the Net
Proceeds shall be less than the Availability Threshold and the costs of completing the Restoration shall be less than the Availability Threshold, the Net Proceeds shall be disbursed by Lender to Borrower upon receipt, provided that all of the
conditions set forth in Section 6.4(b)(i) hereof are met and Borrower delivers to Lender a written undertaking to expeditiously commence and to satisfactorily complete with due diligence the Restoration in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement.
(b) If the Net Proceeds are equal to or greater
than the Availability Threshold or the costs of completing the Restoration are equal to or greater than the Availability Threshold, Lender shall make the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration in accordance with the provisions of this
Section 6.4. The term Net Proceeds for purposes of this Section 6.4 means: (i) the net amount of all insurance proceeds received by Lender pursuant to Section 6.1(a)(i), (iv),
(ix) and (x) as a result of such damage or destruction, after deduction of its reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable counsel fees for outside counsel), if any, in collecting same
(Insurance Proceeds), or (ii) the net amount of the Award, after deduction of its reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable counsel fees), if any, in collecting same
(Condemnation Proceeds), whichever the case may be.
(i) The Net Proceeds shall be made available to Borrower
for Restoration provided that each of the following conditions are met:
(A) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;
(B) (1) in the event the Net Proceeds are Insurance Proceeds, less
than thirty-five percent (35%) of the total floor area of the Improvements on the Property has been damaged, destroyed or rendered unusable as a result of such Casualty or (2) in the event the Net Proceeds are Condemnation Proceeds, less
than fifteen percent (15%) of the land constituting the Property is taken, and no portion of the Improvements is located on such land;
(C) Leases demising in the aggregate a percentage amount equal to or
greater than the Rentable Space Percentage of the total rentable space in the Property which has been demised under executed and delivered Leases in effect as of the date of the occurrence of such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be,
shall remain in full force and effect during and after the completion of the Restoration, notwithstanding the occurrence of any such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, and Borrower or Tenant, as applicable
70
under the respective Lease, shall make all necessary repairs and restorations thereto at their sole cost and expense. The term Rentable Space Percentage means (1) in
the event the Net Proceeds are Insurance Proceeds, a percentage amount equal to eighty percent (80%) and (2) in the event the Net Proceeds are Condemnation Proceeds, a percentage amount equal to eighty percent (80%);
(D) Borrower shall commence the Restoration as soon as
reasonably practicable (but in no event later than ninety (90) days after such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, occurs) and shall diligently pursue the same to satisfactory completion;
(E) Lender shall be reasonably satisfied that any operating
deficits, including all scheduled payments of principal and interest under the Note, which will be incurred with respect to the Property as a result of the occurrence of any such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, will be covered
out of (1) the Net Proceeds, (2) the insurance coverage referred to in Section 6.1(a)(ii) hereof, if applicable, or (3) by other funds of Borrower;
(F) Lender shall be satisfied that the Restoration will be
completed on or before the earliest to occur of (1) six (6) months prior to the Maturity Date, (2) the earliest date required for such completion under the terms of any Leases included within the Rentable Space Percentage calculation
set forth in Section 6.4(b)(i)(C) above (and the inclusion of which is required to meet the Rentable Space Percentage), the failure to meet such completion date would permit the Tenant thereunder to terminate such Lease, (3) such
time as may be required under all applicable Legal Requirements in order to repair and restore the Property to the condition it was in immediately prior to such Casualty or to as nearly as possible the condition it was in immediately prior to such
Condemnation, as applicable, or (4) the expiration of the insurance coverage referred to in Section 6.1(a)(ii) hereof;
(G) the Property and the use thereof after the Restoration
will be in compliance with and permitted under all applicable Legal Requirements;
(H) the Restoration shall be done and completed by Borrower in
an expeditious and diligent fashion and in material compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements;
(I) such Casualty or Condemnation, as applicable, does
not result in the material loss of access to the Property or the Improvements;
(J) the Debt Service Coverage Ratio for the Property,
after giving effect to the Restoration, shall be equal to or greater than 1.20 to 1.0;
(K) Borrower shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to
Lender a signed detailed budget approved in writing by Borrowers architect or engineer stating the entire cost of completing the Restoration, which budget shall be subject to Lenders approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld, conditioned, or delayed; and
(L) the Net
Proceeds together with any cash or cash equivalent deposited by Borrower with Lender are sufficient in Lenders reasonable discretion to cover the cost of the Restoration.
71
(ii) The Net Proceeds
shall be held by Lender in an Eligible Account and, until disbursed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4(b), shall constitute additional security for the Debt and Other Obligations under the Loan Documents. The Net
Proceeds shall be disbursed by Lender to, or as directed by, Borrower from time to time during the course of the Restoration, upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that (A) all materials installed and work and labor
performed (except to the extent that they are to be paid for out of the requested disbursement) in connection with the Restoration have been paid for in full, and (B) there exist no notices of pendency, stop orders, mechanics or
materialmans liens or notices of intention to file same, or any other liens or encumbrances of any nature whatsoever on the Property which have not either been fully bonded to the satisfaction of Lender and discharged of record or in the
alternative fully insured to the satisfaction of Lender by the title company issuing the Title Insurance Policy.
(iii) All plans and specifications required in connection with the
Restoration shall be subject to prior review and acceptance in all respects by Lender and by an independent consulting engineer selected by Lender (the Casualty Consultant). Lender shall have the use of the plans and
specifications and all permits, licenses and approvals required or obtained in connection with the Restoration. The identity of the contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration, as well as the contracts under which they
have been engaged, shall be subject to prior review and approval by Lender and the Casualty Consultant, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed. All reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses
incurred by Lender in connection with making the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration including reasonable counsel fees and disbursements and the Casualty Consultants fees, shall be paid by Borrower.
(iv) In no event shall Lender be obligated to make disbursements of
the Net Proceeds in excess of an amount equal to the costs actually incurred from time to time for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, minus the Casualty Retainage. The term Casualty
Retainage means an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the costs actually incurred for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, until the Restoration has been completed; provided, that the
Casualty Retainage shall be reduced to five percent (5%) of the costs once the Restoration is more than seventy-five percent (75%) completed, as certified by the Casualty Consultant. The Casualty Retainage shall in no event, and
notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above in this Section 6.4(b), be less than the amount actually held back by Borrower from contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration. The Casualty Retainage
shall not be released until the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in
72
accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4(b) and that all approvals necessary for the re-occupancy and use of the Property have been obtained from all appropriate
governmental and quasi-governmental authorities, and Lender receives evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that the costs of the Restoration have been paid in full or will be paid in full out of the Casualty Retainage; provided, however, that
Lender shall release the portion of the Casualty Retainage being held with respect to any contractor, subcontractor or materialman engaged in the Restoration as of the date upon which the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the contractor,
subcontractor or materialman has satisfactorily completed all work and has supplied all materials in accordance with the provisions of the contractors, subcontractors or materialmans contract, the contractor, subcontractor or
materialman delivers the lien waivers and evidence of payment in full of all sums due to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman as may be reasonably requested by Lender or by the title company issuing the Title Insurance Policy, and Lender
receives an endorsement to the Title Insurance Policy insuring the continued priority of the lien of the Security Instrument and evidence of payment of any premium payable for such endorsement. If required by Lender, the release of any such portion
of the Casualty Retainage shall be approved by the surety company, if any, which has issued a payment or performance bond with respect to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman.
(v) Lender shall not be obligated to make disbursements of the
Net Proceeds more frequently than once every calendar month.
(vi) If at any time the Net Proceeds or the undisbursed
balance thereof shall not, in the reasonable opinion of Lender in consultation with the Casualty Consultant, be sufficient to pay in full the balance of the costs which are estimated by the Casualty Consultant to be incurred in connection with the
completion of the Restoration, Borrower shall deposit the deficiency (the Net Proceeds Deficiency) with Lender before any further disbursement of the Net Proceeds shall be made. The Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender
shall be held by Lender and shall be disbursed for costs actually incurred in connection with the Restoration on the same conditions applicable to the disbursement of the Net Proceeds, and until so disbursed pursuant to this
Section 6.4(b) shall constitute additional security for the Debt and Other Obligations under the Loan Documents.
(vii) Provided no continuing Event of Default shall then exist, after the
Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4(b), and the receipt by Lender of evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that all costs incurred in
connection with the Restoration have been paid in full, the excess, if any, of the Net Proceeds (and the remaining balance, if any, of the Net Proceeds Deficiency) deposited with Lender shall be (1) if a Cash Sweep Period then exists, deposited
in the Cash Management Account to be disbursed in accordance with this Agreement, and (2) if no Cash Sweep Period then exists, disbursed to Borrower.
(c) All Net Proceeds not required (i) to be made available for the
Restoration or (ii) to be returned to Borrower as excess Net Proceeds pursuant to Section 6.4(b)(vii) hereof may be
73
retained and applied by Lender toward the payment of the Debt in accordance with Section 9(e) of the Note, whether or not then due and payable in such order, priority and proportions
as Lender in its reasonable discretion shall deem proper; provided, however, that no Prepayment Consideration or other penalty shall be due or payable in connection with such prepayment, or, at the reasonable discretion of Lender, the same may be
paid, either in whole or in part, to Borrower for such purposes as Lender shall approve, in its reasonable discretion.
(d) In the event of foreclosure of the Security Instrument, or other transfer
of title to the Property in extinguishment in whole or in part of the Debt all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to the Policies that are not blanket Policies then in force concerning the Property and all proceeds payable thereunder shall
thereupon vest in the purchaser at such foreclosure or Lender or other transferee in the event of such other transfer of title.
ARTICLE
VII - RESERVE FUNDS
Section 7.1 Intentionally Omitted.
Section 7.2 Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund. Borrower shall pay
to Lender (a) on the Closing Date an initial deposit and (b) on each Payment Date thereafter (i) one-twelfth (1/12) of the Taxes and Other Charges that Lender estimates will be payable during the next ensuing twelve
(12) months in order to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Taxes and Other Charges at least thirty (30) days prior to their respective due dates, and (ii) one-twelfth (1/12) of the Insurance Premiums that
Lender reasonably estimates will be payable for the renewal of the coverage afforded by the Policies upon the expiration thereof in order to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Insurance Premiums at least thirty (30) days
prior to the expiration of the Policies (said amounts in (a) and (b) above hereinafter called the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund). Provided, however, so long as Borrower maintains blanket policies of insurance in
accordance with Section 6.1 hereof, the provisions of this Section with regard to Insurance Premiums shall not be applicable, until and unless Lender elects to apply such provisions following (i) the issuance by any insurer or its
agent of any notice of cancellation, termination, or lapse of any insurance coverage required under Section 6.1 hereof, (ii) any cancellation, termination, or lapse of any insurance coverage required under Section 6.1
hereof whether or not any notice is issued, (iii) Lender having not received from Borrower evidence of insurance coverages as required by and in accordance with the terms of Section 6.1 hereof, or (iv) the occurrence of any
Event of Default. Lender shall apply the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund to payments of Taxes and Insurance Premiums required to be made by Borrower pursuant to Section 5.1.2 hereof and under the Security Instrument and shall make all such
payments prior to delinquency. In making any payment relating to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund, Lender may do so according to any bill, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office (with respect to Taxes) or insurer or agent
(with respect to Insurance Premiums), without inquiry into the accuracy of such bill, statement or estimate or into the validity of any tax, assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim thereof, to the extent that on its face, such bill,
statement or estimate reasonably appears to be valid. If the amount of the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund shall exceed the amounts due for Taxes, Other Charges and Insurance Premiums pursuant to Section 5.1.2 hereof, Lender shall, in its
reasonable discretion, return any
74
excess to Borrower or credit such excess against future payments to be made to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund. If at any time Lender reasonably determines that the Tax and Insurance Escrow
Fund is not or will not be sufficient to pay Taxes, Other Charges and Insurance Premiums by the dates set forth in (a) and (b) above, Lender shall notify Borrower of such determination and Borrower shall increase its monthly payments to
Lender by the amount that Lender estimates is sufficient to make up the deficiency at least thirty (30) days prior to the due date of the Taxes and Other Charges or thirty (30) days prior to expiration of the Policies, as the case may be.
Section 7.3 Replacements and Replacement Reserve.
7.3.1 Replacement Reserve Fund. Borrower shall pay to Lender (a) on the Closing Date
an initial deposit of $3,392.00 and (b) on each Payment Date thereafter $3,392.00 (the Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposit) which amounts are reasonably estimated by Lender in its discretion to be due for replacements and
repairs required to be made to the Property during the calendar year (collectively, the Replacements). Amounts so deposited shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrowers Replacement Reserve Fund and the
account in which such amounts are held shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrowers Replacement Reserve Account. Lender may reasonably reassess its estimate of the amount necessary for the Replacement Reserve Fund from time
to time, and may increase the monthly amounts required to be deposited into the Replacement Reserve Fund upon thirty (30) days notice to Borrower if Lender determines in its reasonable discretion that an increase is necessary to maintain
the proper maintenance and operation of the Property. Any interest earned on the amounts on deposit in the Replacement Reserve Account shall be added to and become a part of the Replacement Reserve Fund.
7.3.2 Disbursements from Replacement Reserve Account. (a) Lender shall make
disbursements from the Replacement Reserve Account to pay Borrower only for the costs of the Replacements. Lender shall not be obligated to make disbursements from the Replacement Reserve Account to reimburse Borrower for the costs of routine
maintenance to the Property, replacements of inventory or for costs which are to be reimbursed from the Rollover Reserve Fund.
(b) Lender shall, upon written request from Borrower and satisfaction of the
requirements set forth in this Section 7.3.2, disburse to Borrower amounts from the Replacement Reserve Account necessary to pay for the actual approved costs of Replacements (or the portion thereof so requested) or to reimburse Borrower
therefor, upon completion of such Replacements (or, upon partial completion in the case of Replacements made pursuant to Section 7.3.2(e) hereof) as reasonably determined by Lender. In no event shall Lender be obligated to disburse funds
from the Replacement Reserve Account if an uncured Event of Default exists.
(c) Each request for disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account shall be
in a form reasonably specified or approved by Lender and shall specify the specific Replacements for which the disbursement is requested and the cost of all contracted labor or other services applicable to each Replacement for which such request for
disbursement is made. With each request Borrower shall certify that all Replacements have been made (to the extent completed) in
75
accordance, in all material respects, with all applicable Legal Requirements of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Property. Each request for disbursement shall include
copies of invoices for all items or materials purchased and all contracted labor or services provided and, unless Lender has agreed to issue joint checks as described below in connection with a particular Replacement, each request shall include
evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender of payment of all such amounts. Except as provided in Section 7.3.2(e) hereof, each request for disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account shall be made only after completion of the
Replacement for which disbursement is requested. Borrower shall provide Lender evidence of completion of the subject Replacement satisfactory to Lender in its reasonable judgment.
(d) Borrower shall pay all invoices in connection with the Replacements with
respect to which a disbursement is requested prior to submitting such request for disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account or, at the request of Borrower, Lender shall issue joint checks, payable to Borrower and the contractor, supplier,
materialman, mechanic, subcontractor or other party to whom payment is due in connection with a Replacement. In the case of payments made by joint check, Lender may require Borrower to obtain lien waivers from each contractor, supplier, materialman,
mechanic or subcontractor who receives payment in an amount equal to or greater than $25,000.00 for completion of its work or delivery of its materials. Any lien waiver delivered hereunder shall conform to the requirements of applicable law and
shall cover all work performed and materials supplied (including equipment and fixtures) for the Property by that contractor, supplier, subcontractor, mechanic or materialman through the date covered by the current reimbursement request (or, if
payment to such contractor, supplier, subcontractor, mechanic or materialmen is to be made by a joint check, the release of lien shall be effective through the date covered by the previous release of funds request).
(e) If (i) the cost of a Replacement exceeds $25,000.00, (ii) the
contractor performing such Replacement requires periodic payments pursuant to terms of a written contract, and (iii) Lender has approved in writing in advance such periodic payments, a request for reimbursement from the Replacement Reserve
Account may be made after completion of a portion of the work under such contract, provided (A) such contract requires payment upon completion of such portion of the work, (B) the materials for which the request is made are on site at the
Property and are properly secured or have been installed in the Property, (C) all other conditions in this Agreement for disbursement have been satisfied, (D) funds remaining in the Replacement Reserve Account are, in Lenders
reasonable judgment, sufficient to complete such Replacement and other Replacements when required, and (E) if required by Lender, each contractor or subcontractor receiving payments under such contract shall provide a waiver of lien with
respect to amounts which have been paid to that contractor or subcontractor.
(f) Borrower shall not make a request for disbursement from the Replacement
Reserve Account more frequently than once in any calendar month and (except in connection with the final disbursement) the total cost of all Replacements in any request shall not be less than $25,000.00.
7.3.3 Performance of Replacements. (a) Borrower shall make Replacements when
reasonably required in order to keep the Property in condition and repair consistent with other comparable properties in the same market
76
segment in the metropolitan area in which the Property is located, and to keep the Property or any portion thereof from deteriorating. Borrower shall complete all Replacements in a good and
workmanlike manner as soon as is reasonably practicable following the commencement of making each such Replacement.
(b) Lender reserves the right, at its option, to approve, in its reasonable
discretion, all contracts or work orders in excess of $200,000.00 with materialmen, mechanics, suppliers, subcontractors, contractors or other parties providing labor or materials in connection with the Replacements. Upon Lenders request,
Borrower shall assign any of the forgoing contracts or subcontracts to Lender.
(c) In the event Lender determines in its reasonable discretion that any
Replacement is not being performed in a workmanlike or timely manner or that any Replacement has not been completed in a workmanlike or timely manner, and such matters are not corrected to the reasonable satisfaction of Lender within sixty
(60) days following written notice thereof from Lender to Borrower, Lender shall have the option to withhold disbursement therefor and to proceed under existing contracts or to contract with third parties to complete such Replacement and to
apply the Replacement Reserve Fund toward the labor and materials necessary to complete such Replacement.
(d) In order to facilitate Lenders completion of any Replacements
pursuant to Section 7.3.3(c) above, Borrower grants Lender the right to enter, upon reasonable prior notice and during reasonable times, onto the Property, subject to the rights of the Tenants, and perform any and all work and labor
necessary to complete such Replacements or employ watchmen to protect the Property from damage. All reasonable and documented out-of-pocket sums so expended by Lender, to the extent not from the Replacement Reserve Fund, shall be deemed to have been
advanced under the Loan to Borrower and secured by the Security Instrument. For this purpose Borrower constitutes and appoints Lender its true and lawful attorney in fact with full power of substitution to complete or undertake such Replacements in
the name of Borrower. Such power of attorney shall be deemed to be a power coupled with an interest and cannot be revoked. Borrower empowers said attorney in fact as follows: (i) to use any funds in the Replacement Reserve Account for the
purpose of making or completing such Replacements; (ii) to make such additions, changes and corrections to such Replacements as shall be reasonably necessary or desirable to complete such Replacements; (iii) to employ such contractors,
subcontractors, agents, architects and inspectors as shall be reasonably required for such purposes; (iv) to pay, settle or compromise all existing bills and claims which are or may become Liens against the Property, or as may be reasonably
necessary or desirable for the completion of such Replacements, or for clearance of title; (v) to execute all applications and certificates in the name of Borrower which may be required by any of the contract documents; (vi) to prosecute
and defend all actions or proceedings in connection with the Property or the rehabilitation and repair of the Property; and (vii) to do any and every act which Borrower might do in its own behalf to fulfill the terms of this Agreement.
(e) Nothing in this Section 7.3.3 shall: (i) make Lender
responsible for making or completing any Replacements; (ii) require Lender to expend funds in addition to the Replacement Reserve Fund to make or complete any Replacement; (iii) obligate Lender to proceed with any Replacements; or
(iv) obligate Lender to demand from Borrower additional sums to make or complete any Replacement.
77
(f) In connection with any
requested monthly disbursement in excess of $100,000.00, Borrower shall permit Lender and Lenders agents and representatives (including Lenders engineer, architect, or inspector) or third parties making Replacements pursuant to this
Section 7.3.3 to enter onto the Property with reasonable prior notice and during normal business hours (subject to the rights of Tenants under their Leases) to inspect the progress of any Replacements and all materials being used in
connection therewith, to examine all plans and shop drawings relating to such Replacements which are or may be kept at the Property, and to complete any Replacements made pursuant to this Section 7.3.3. Borrower shall cause all
contractors and subcontractors to reasonably cooperate with Lender or Lenders representatives or such other persons described above in connection with inspections described in this Section 7.3.3(f) or the completion of Replacements
pursuant to this Section 7.3.3.
(g) In connection with any
requested monthly disbursement in excess of $100,000.00, Lender may require an inspection of the Property at Borrowers reasonable expense prior to making a monthly disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account in order to verify completion
or progress of the Replacements (or the portion thereof) for which reimbursement is sought. Lender may require that such inspection be conducted by an appropriate independent qualified professional selected by Lender or may require a copy of a
certificate of completion by an independent qualified professional reasonably acceptable to Lender prior to the disbursement of any amounts from the Replacement Reserve Account. Borrower shall pay the reasonable and documented expense of the
inspection as required hereunder, whether such inspection is conducted by Lender or by an independent qualified professional.
(h) The Replacements and all materials, equipment, fixtures, or any other item
comprising a part of any Replacement shall be constructed, installed or completed, as applicable, free and clear of all mechanics, materialmens or other liens (except for those Liens existing on the date of this Agreement which have been
approved in writing by Lender); subject, however, to Borrowers right to contest such Liens in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Loan Documents.
(i) In connection with any requested monthly disbursement in excess of
$100,000.00, Lender may require Borrower to provide Lender with a search of title to the Property effective to the date of the disbursement, which search shows that no mechanics or materialmens liens or other liens of any nature have
been placed against the Property since the date of recordation of the related Security Instrument and that title to the Property is free and clear of all Liens (other than the lien of the related Security Instrument and any other Liens previously
approved in writing by Lender, if any) or such Liens as are being contested by Borrower in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Loan Documents.
(j) All Replacements shall comply, in all material respects, with all
applicable Legal Requirements of all Governmental Authorities having jurisdiction over the Property and applicable insurance requirements including applicable building codes, special use permits, environmental regulations, and requirements of
insurance underwriters.
78
(k) In addition to any insurance required
under the Loan Documents, Borrower shall provide or cause to be provided workmens compensation insurance, builders risk, and public liability insurance and other insurance to the extent required under applicable law in connection with a
particular Replacement. All such policies shall be in form and amount reasonably satisfactory to Lender. All such policies which can be endorsed with standard mortgagee clauses making loss payable to Lender or its assigns shall be so endorsed.
Certificates of Insurance evidencing such policies shall be delivered to Lender upon request.
7.3.4 Failure to Make Replacements. (a) It shall be an Event of Default under this
Agreement if Borrower fails to comply, in all material respects, with any provision of this Section 7.3 and such failure is not cured within thirty (30) days after notice thereof from Lender to Borrower. Upon the occurrence and
during the continuance of such an Event of Default, Lender may use the Replacement Reserve Fund (or any portion thereof) for any purpose, including completion of the Replacements as provided in Section 7.3.3, or for any other repair or
replacement to the Property or toward payment of the Debt in such order, proportion and priority as Lender may determine in its reasonable discretion. Lenders right to withdraw and apply the Replacement Reserve Fund shall be in addition to all
other rights and remedies provided to Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
(b) Nothing in this Agreement shall obligate Lender to apply all or any portion of the
Replacement Reserve Fund on account of an Event of Default to payment of the Debt or in any specific order or priority.
7.3.5 Balance in the Replacement Reserve Account. The insufficiency of any balance in the
Replacement Reserve Account shall not relieve Borrower from its obligation to fulfill, in all material respects, all preservation and maintenance covenants in the Loan Documents.
Section 7.4 Rollover Reserve.
7.4.1 Deposits to Rollover Reserve Fund. Borrower shall pay to Lender (a) on the
Closing Date an initial deposit of $250,000.00 and (b) on each Payment Date thereafter $16,959.00 (the Rollover Reserve Monthly Deposit), which amounts shall be deposited with and held by Lender for tenant improvement and
leasing commission obligations incurred following the date hereof. Amounts so deposited, and, if applicable, any amount resulting from a draw on the Rollover Reserve Letter of Credit, shall hereinafter be referred to as the Rollover Reserve
Fund and the account to which such amounts are held shall hereinafter be referred to as the Rollover Reserve Account. Borrower shall also pay to Lender, for deposit into the Rollover Reserve Account, all fees and other
payments made to Borrower in connection with or relating to the rejection, buy-out, termination, surrender or cancellation of any Lease (excluding, however, any such Fee related to the Morgan Stanley Premises). Notwithstanding the aforementioned,
the aggregate amount of the Rollover Reserve Fund and the amount of the Rollover Reserve Letter of Credit remaining available for draws shall not exceed $525,000.00 in the aggregate (the Rollover Reserve Cap) on any Payment Date
(after giving effect to the payment of the Rollover Reserve Monthly Deposit) and accordingly, to the extent a Rollover Reserve Monthly Deposit would
79
result in the aggregate amount of Rollover Reserve Funds in the Rollover Reserve Account and the amount of the Rollover Reserve Letter of Credit remaining available for draws exceeding the
Rollover Reserve Cap, such Rollover Reserve Monthly Deposit shall be decreased by an amount equal to such excess or if applicable, eliminated. Any interest earned on the amounts on deposit in the Rollover Reserve Account shall be added to and become
a part of the Rollover Reserve Fund.
7.4.2 Withdrawal of Rollover Reserve Funds.
Provided no Event of Default hereunder then exists, Lender shall make disbursements from the Rollover Escrow Fund for tenant improvement and leasing commission obligations incurred by Borrower. All such expenses shall be approved by Lender in its
reasonable discretion. Lender shall make disbursements as requested by Borrower on a monthly basis in increments of no less than $5,000.00 upon delivery by Borrower of Lenders standard form of draw request accompanied by copies of paid
invoices for the amounts requested (or the unpaid invoices to be paid therewith) and, with respect to any single disbursement in excess of $50,000.00, if required by Lender, lien waivers and releases from all parties furnishing materials or services
in connection with the requested payment. In connection with any requested monthly disbursement in excess of $50,000.00, Lender may require an inspection of the Property at Borrowers expense prior to making such disbursement in order to verify
completion of improvements for which reimbursement is sought.
Section 7.5 Excess Cash
Flow Reserve Fund.
7.5.1 Deposits to Excess Cash Flow Reserve Account.
During a Cash Sweep Period caused by a DSCR Trigger Event, Borrower shall deposit with Lender all Excess Cash Flow in the Cash Management Account, which shall be held by Lender as additional security for the Loan and amounts so held shall be
hereinafter referred to as the Excess Cash Flow Reserve Fund and the account to which such amounts are held shall hereinafter be referred to as the Excess Cash Flow Reserve Account.
7.5.2 Release of Excess Cash Flow Reserve Funds. Upon the occurrence of a Cash Sweep
Event Cure, all Excess Cash Flow Reserve Funds shall be deposited into the Cash Management Account to be disbursed to Borrower in accordance with the Cash Management Agreement. Any Excess Cash Flow Reserve Funds remaining after the Debt has been
paid in full shall be paid to Borrower.
Section 7.6 Reserve Funds, Generally.
(a) Borrower grants to Lender a security interest in each of the Reserve Funds and any and all monies now or hereafter deposited in each Reserve Fund as additional security for payment of the Debt. Until expended or applied in accordance
herewith, the Reserve Funds shall constitute additional security for the Debt.
(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender
may, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies available to Lender, apply any sums then present in any or all of the Reserve Funds to the payment of the Debt in any order in its discretion.
80
(c) The Reserve Funds shall not
constitute trust funds and may be commingled with other monies held by Lender. The Reserve Funds shall be held in an Eligible Account in Permitted Investments as directed by Lender or Lenders Servicer. Unless expressly provided for in this
Article VII, all interest on a Reserve Fund shall not be added to or become a part thereof and shall be the sole property of and shall be paid to Lender. Borrower shall be responsible for payment of any federal, state or local income or other
tax applicable to the interest earned on the Reserve Funds credited or paid to Borrower.
(d) Borrower shall not, without obtaining the prior written consent of Lender,
further pledge, assign or grant any security interest in any Reserve Fund or the monies deposited therein or permit any lien or encumbrance to attach thereto, or any levy to be made thereon, or any UCC-1 Financing Statements, except those naming
Lender as the secured party, to be filed with respect thereto.
(e) Lender
and Servicer shall not be liable for any loss sustained on the investment of any funds constituting the Reserve Funds. Borrower shall indemnify Lender and Servicer and hold Lender and Servicer harmless from and against any and all actions, suits,
claims, demands, liabilities, losses, damages, obligations and costs and expenses (including litigation costs and reasonable attorneys fees and expenses) arising from or in any way connected with the Reserve Funds or the performance of the
obligations for which the Reserve Funds were established, except to the extent arising out of the gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of Lender. Borrower shall assign to Lender all rights and claims Borrower may have against all
persons or entities supplying labor, materials or other services which are to be paid from or secured by the Reserve Funds; provided, however, that Lender may not pursue any such right or claim unless an Event of Default has occurred and remains
uncured.
(f) The required monthly deposits into the Reserve Funds and the
Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount, shall be added together and shall be paid as an aggregate sum by Borrower to Lender.
(g) Any amount remaining in the Reserve Funds after the Debt has been paid in
full shall be promptly returned to Borrower.
Section 7.7 Morgan Stanley
Reserve.
7.7.1 Deposits to Morgan Stanley Reserve Fund. Within one
(1) Business Day after its receipt of the same, Borrower shall pay to Lender any fee and other payments made to Borrower in connection with or relating to the rejection, buy-out, termination, surrender or cancellation of the Lease of Morgan
Stanley (the Morgan Stanley Reserve Deposit), which amount shall be held by Lender as additional security for the Loan. Amounts so held shall be hereinafter referred to as the Morgan Stanley Reserve Fund and the
account in which such amounts are held shall hereinafter be referred to as the Morgan Stanley Reserve Account. Any interest earned on the amounts on deposit in the Morgan Stanley Reserve Account shall be added to and become a part
of the Morgan Stanley Reserve Fund.
81
7.7.2 Release of Morgan Stanley Reserve
Funds. Provided no Event of Default hereunder then exists, Lender shall make disbursements from the Morgan Stanley Reserve Fund to fund tenant improvement costs, leasing commission costs and market free rent obligations, to the extent
incurred by Borrower in connection with its re-leasing all or part of the Morgan Stanley Premises. All such costs shall be approved by Lender in its reasonable discretion. Lender shall make disbursements as requested by Borrower on a monthly basis
in increments of no less than $5,000.00 upon delivery by Borrower of Lenders standard form of draw request accompanied by copies of paid invoices for the amounts requested (or the unpaid invoices to be paid therewith) and, with respect to any
single disbursement in excess of $50,000.00, if required by Lender, lien waivers and releases from all parties furnishing materials or services in connection with the requested payment. In connection with any requested monthly disbursement in excess
of $50,000.00, Lender may require an inspection of the Property at Borrowers expense prior to making such disbursement in order to verify completion of improvements for which reimbursement is sought. So long as no Event of Default or uncured
Cash Sweep Event then exists, Lender shall disburse the full remaining amount of the Morgan Stanley Reserve Fund to Borrower upon Borrowers delivery to Lender of (a) fully executed Leases with one or more Tenant(s) covering the entire net
leaseable area of the Morgan Stanley Premises, and (b) evidence, in form and substance satisfactory to Lender (including one or more tenant estoppels), confirming that (i) such Tenant(s) are (A) in full possession and occupancy not

by a Major Tenant Trigger Event, Borrower shall deposit with Lender all Excess Cash Flow, which amounts shall be held by Lender for tenant improvement and leasing commission obligations incurred in connection with the leasing of any or all of the
Major Tenant Premises. Amounts so deposited, shall hereinafter be referred to as the Major Tenant Rollover Reserve Fund and the account to which such amounts are held shall hereinafter be referred to as the Major Tenant
Rollover Reserve Account. Borrower shall also pay to Lender, for deposit into the Major Tenant Rollover Reserve Account, all fees and other payments made to Borrower in connection with or relating to the rejection, buy-out, termination,

82

Fund. Provided no Event of Default hereunder exists and is then continuing, Lender shall make disbursements from the Major Tenant Rollover Reserve Fund for tenant improvement and leasing commission obligations incurred by Borrower incurred
in connection with the leasing of any or all of the Major Tenant Premises. All such expenses shall be approved by Lender in its reasonable discretion. Lender shall make disbursements as requested by Borrower on a monthly basis in increments of no
less than $5,000.00 upon delivery by Borrower of Lenders standard form of draw request accompanied by copies of paid invoices for the amounts requested (or the unpaid invoices to be paid therewith) and, with respect to any single disbursement
in excess of $50,000.00, if required by Lender, lien waivers and releases from all parties furnishing materials or services in connection with the requested payment. In connection with any requested monthly disbursement in excess of $50,000.00,
Lender may require an inspection of the Property at Borrowers expense prior to making any disbursement in order to verify completion of improvements for which reimbursement is sought. Upon the occurrence of a Major Tenant Cure Event for the
last then existing Major Tenant Trigger Event, so long as no uncured Event of Default or other uncured Cash Sweep Event then exists, all Major Tenant Rollover Reserve Funds in the Major Tenant Rollover Reserve Account shall be disbursed to Borrower.

(1) notice of such breach or violation from Lender or (2) the date Borrower becomes aware of such breach or violation, Borrower cures such beach or violation and provides Lender with satisfactory evidence of same;

(b) During the continuance of an
Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in clauses (vi), (vii) or (viii) above), in addition to any other rights or remedies available to it pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or at law or in equity,
Lender may take such action, without notice or demand, that Lender deems advisable to protect and enforce its rights against Borrower and the Property, including declaring the Debt to be immediately due and payable, and Lender may enforce or avail
itself of any or all rights or remedies provided in the Loan Documents against Borrower and any or all of the Property, including all rights or remedies available at law or in equity; and upon any Event of Default described in clauses (vi),
(vii) or (viii) above, the Debt and Other Obligations of Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall immediately and automatically become due and payable, without notice or demand, and Borrower hereby expressly waives, to
the extent permitted under applicable law, any such notice or demand, anything contained herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding.
Section 8.2 Remedies. (a) Upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, all or any one or more of the rights, powers, privileges and other remedies available to Lender against Borrower under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents executed and delivered by, or applicable to,
Borrower or at law or in equity may be exercised by Lender at any time and from time to time, whether or not all or any of the Debt shall be declared due and payable, and whether or not Lender shall have commenced any foreclosure proceeding or other
action for the enforcement of its rights and remedies under any of the Loan Documents with respect to all or any part of the Property. Any such actions taken by Lender shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singularly,
successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in its discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender permitted by law,
equity or contract or as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower agrees that if an Event of Default is continuing, to the extent permitted under applicable law (i) Lender is
not subject to any one action or election of remedies law or rule, and (ii) all liens and other rights, remedies or privileges provided to Lender shall remain in full force and effect until Lender has exhausted all of
its remedies against the Property and the Security Instrument has been foreclosed, sold or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Debt or the Debt has been paid in full.
(b) With respect to Borrower and the Property, nothing contained herein or in
any other Loan Document shall be construed as requiring Lender to resort to the Property for the satisfaction of any of the Debt in any preference or priority, and Lender may seek satisfaction out of the Property, or any part thereof, in its
discretion in respect of the Debt. In addition, Lender shall have the right from time to time to partially foreclose the Security Instrument in any manner and for any amounts secured by the Security Instrument then due and payable as determined by
Lender in its discretion including the following circumstances: (i) during the continuance of an Event of Default in the payment of one or more scheduled payments of principal and interest, Lender may foreclose the Security Instrument to
recover such delinquent payments or (ii) in the event Lender elects to accelerate less than the entire Outstanding Principal
86
Balance of the Loan, Lender may foreclose the Security Instrument to recover so much of the principal balance of the Loan as Lender may accelerate and such other sums secured by the Security
Instrument as Lender may elect. Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, the Property shall remain subject to the Security Instrument to secure payment of sums secured by the Security Instrument and not previously recovered.
(c) Lender shall have the right from time to time to sever the Note and the
other Loan Documents into one or more separate notes, mortgages and other security documents (the Severed Loan Documents) in such denominations as Lender shall determine in its discretion for purposes of evidencing and enforcing
its rights and remedies provided hereunder. Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender from time to time, promptly after the request of Lender, a severance agreement and such other documents as Lender shall reasonably request in order to effect
the severance described in the preceding sentence, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender. Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints Lender as its true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in its name and
stead to make and execute all documents reasonably necessary or desirable to effect the aforesaid severance, Borrower ratifying all that its said attorney shall do by virtue thereof; provided, however, Lender shall not make or execute any such
documents under such power until five (5) days after notice has been given to Borrower by Lender of Lenders intent to exercise its rights under such power. Borrower shall be obligated to pay any reasonable and documented out-of-pocket
costs or expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, execution, recording or filing of the Severed Loan Documents and the Severed Loan Documents shall not contain any representations, warranties or covenants not contained in the Loan
Documents and any such representations and warranties contained in the Severed Loan Documents will be given by Borrower only as of the Closing Date.
(d) As used in this Section 8.2, a foreclosure shall
include, without limitation, any sale by power of sale to the extent permitted by applicable law.
Section 8.3 Remedies Cumulative; Waivers. The rights, powers and
remedies of Lender under this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which Lender may have against Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or existing at law or in equity or
otherwise. Lenders rights, powers and remedies may be pursued singularly, concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in Lenders discretion. No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or
power accruing upon an Event of Default shall impair any such remedy, right or power or shall be construed as a waiver thereof, but any such remedy, right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. A waiver
of one Default or Event of Default with respect to Borrower shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default by Borrower or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon.
87
ARTICLE IX - SPECIAL PROVISIONS
Section 9.1 Securitization.
9.1.1 Sale of Notes and Securitization. (a) Borrower acknowledges and agrees that
Lender may sell all or any portion of the Loan and the Loan Documents, or issue one or more participations therein, or consummate one or more private or public securitizations of rated single- or multi-class securities (the
Securities) secured by or evidencing ownership interests in all or any portion of the Loan and the Loan Documents or a pool of assets that include the Loan and the Loan Documents (such sales, participations or securitizations,
collectively, a Securitization).
(b) At the request of
Lender, and to the extent not already required to be provided by or on behalf of Borrower under this Agreement, Borrower shall use reasonable efforts to provide information not in the possession of Lender or which may be reasonably required by
Lender or take other actions reasonably required by Lender, in each case in order to satisfy the market standards to which Lender customarily adheres or which may be reasonably required by prospective investors or the Rating Agencies in connection
with any such Securitization. Lender shall have the right to provide to prospective investors and the Rating Agencies any information in its possession, including financial statements relating to Borrower, Guarantor, if any, the Property and any
Tenant of the Improvements. Borrower acknowledges that certain information regarding the Loan and the parties thereto and the Property may be included in a private placement memorandum, prospectus or other disclosure documents. Borrower agrees that
each of Borrower, Principal, Guarantor and their respective officers and representatives, shall, at Lenders request, reasonably cooperate with Lenders efforts to arrange for a Securitization in accordance with the market standards to
which Lender customarily adheres or which may be required by prospective investors or the Rating Agencies in connection with any such Securitization. Borrower, Principal and Guarantor agree to review, at Lenders request in connection with the
Securitization, the Disclosure Documents as such Disclosure Documents relate to Borrower, Principal, Guarantor, the Property and the Loan, including, the sections entitled Risk Factors, Special Considerations,
Description of the Security Instrument, Description of the Mortgage Loan and Mortgaged Property, The Manager, The Borrower, and Certain Legal Aspects of the Mortgage Loan, and shall
confirm, each to its actual knowledge, that the factual statements and representations contained in such sections and such other information in the Disclosure Documents (to the extent such information relates to, or is based on, or includes any
information regarding the Property, Borrower, Guarantor, Manager or the Loan) do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in the light of the circumstances
under which they were made, not misleading.
(c) Borrower agrees to make
upon Lenders written request, without limitation, all reasonable structural or other changes to the Loan (including delivery of one or more new component notes to replace the original note or modify the original note to reflect multiple
components of the Loan and such new notes or modified note may have different interest rates and amortization schedules), reasonable modifications to any documents evidencing or securing the Loan, creation of one or more mezzanine loans (including
amending Borrowers organizational structure to provide for one or more mezzanine borrowers), delivery of opinions of counsel acceptable to the Rating Agencies or potential investors and addressing such matters as the Rating Agencies or
potential investors may require; provided, however, that in creating such new notes or modified notes or mezzanine notes Borrower shall not be required to modify ((i) modify the initial weighted average interest rate payable under the Note,
(ii) modify the
88
stated maturity of the Note, (iii) modify the aggregate amortization of principal under the Note, (iv) modify any other material economic term of the Loan (including, without
limitation, any prepayment rights), (v) decrease the time periods during which Borrower is permitted to perform its obligations under the Loan Documents, or (vi) make any other modification the effect of which would be to materially
increase Borrowers obligations or liabilities under the Loan Documents, or to materially reduce Borrowers rights or any obligations owed to Borrower under the Loan Documents. In connection with the foregoing, Borrower covenants and
agrees to modify the Cash Management Agreement to reflect the newly created components loans or mezzanine loans.
(d) To the extent not otherwise required to be delivered to Lender hereunder,
if requested by Lender, Borrower shall provide to Lender, upon request and at no out-of-pocket cost to Borrower, with any financial statements, or financial, statistical or operating information not then in the possession of Lender, as Lender shall
determine to be required pursuant to Regulation AB under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), or any amendment, modification or replacement thereto or other
legal requirements in connection with any private placement memorandum, prospectus or other disclosure documents or any filing pursuant to the Exchange Act in connection with the Securitization or as shall otherwise be reasonably requested by
Lender.
(e) Borrower hereby appoints Lender its attorney-in-fact with full
power of substitution (which appointment shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest and to be irrevocable until the Loan is paid and the Security Instrument is discharged of record, with Borrower hereby ratifying all that its said attorney shall
do by virtue thereof) to execute and deliver all documents and do all other acts and things reasonably necessary or desirable to effect any Securitization authorized hereunder; provided, however, that unless an Event of Default exists, Lender shall
not execute or deliver any such documents or do any such acts or things under such power until five (5) days after written notice has been given to Borrower by Lender of Lenders intent to exercise its rights under such power.
Borrowers failure to deliver any document, or to take any other action, that Borrower is obligated to take hereunder with respect to any Securitization for a period five (5) days after notice of such failure is delivered by Lender shall,
at Lenders option, constitute an Event of Default hereunder.
9.1.2 Securitization
Costs. All reasonable and documented third party costs and expenses incurred by Borrower and Guarantor in connection with Borrowers compliance with this Section 9.1 (including the fees and expenses of the Rating Agencies)
shall be paid or reimbursed by Lender.
Section 9.2 Right To Release
Information. Following the occurrence of any Event of Default, Lender may forward to any broker, prospective purchaser of the Property or the Loan, or other person or entity all documents and information which Lender now has or may hereafter
acquire relating to the Debt, Borrower, any Guarantor, any indemnitor, the Property and any other matter in connection with the Loan, whether furnished by Borrower, any Guarantor, any indemnitor or otherwise, as Lender reasonably determines
necessary or desirable. Borrower irrevocably waives any and all rights it may have to limit or prevent such disclosure, including any right of privacy or any claims arising therefrom.
89
Section 9.3 Exculpation.
(a) Subject to the qualifications below, Lender shall not enforce the liability and obligation of Borrower to perform and observe the obligations contained in the Note, this Agreement, the Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents by any
action or proceeding wherein a money judgment shall be sought against Borrower, except that Lender may bring a foreclosure action, an action for specific performance or any other appropriate action or proceeding to enable Lender to enforce and
realize upon its interest under the Note, this Agreement, the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents, or in the Property, the Rents, or any other collateral given to Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents; provided, however,
that, except as specifically provided herein, any judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be enforceable against Borrower only to the extent of Borrowers interest in the Property, in the Rents and in any other collateral given to
Lender, and Lender, by accepting the Note, this Agreement, the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents, agrees that it shall not sue for, seek or demand any deficiency judgment against Borrower in any such action or proceeding under or by
reason of or under or in connection with the Note, this Agreement, the Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents. The provisions of this Section shall not, however, (i) constitute a waiver, release or impairment of any obligation
evidenced or secured by any of the Loan Documents; (ii) impair the right of Lender to name Borrower as a party defendant in any action or suit for foreclosure and sale under the Security Instrument; (iii) affect the validity or
enforceability of any guaranty, indemnity or similar agreement or undertaking made in connection with the Loan or any of the rights and remedies of Lender thereunder; (iv) impair the right of Lender to obtain the appointment of a receiver;
(v) impair the enforcement of any assignment of leases contained in the Security Instrument and any other Loan Documents; or (vi) constitute a prohibition against Lender to seek a deficiency judgment against Borrower in order to fully
realize the security granted by the Security Instrument or to commence any other appropriate action or proceeding in order for Lender to exercise its remedies against the Property; provided, that any such judgment shall be enforced solely against
and to the extent of Borrowers interest in the Property.
(b) Nothing
contained herein shall in any manner or way release, affect or impair the right of Lender to recover, and Borrower shall be fully and personally liable and subject to legal action, for any loss, damage, claim or other obligation and any reasonable
and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including attorneys fees for outside counsel and court costs) actually incurred or suffered by Lender arising out of or in connection with the following:
(i) fraud or willful misrepresentation by Borrower, Principal,
Guarantor or any of their Affiliates in connection with the Loan;
(ii) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Borrower,
Principal or Guarantor, or any Affiliate of the foregoing, in connection with the Loan;
(iii) material physical waste of the Property, excluding any failure to
maintain or make repairs or replacements to the Property because there was insufficient cash flow available from the Property and physical waste resulting from Lender failing to make funds available to maintain and make repairs and replacements to
the Property in violation of the Loan Documents;
90
(iv) during the continuance of
an Event of Default, the removal or disposal of any portion of the Property in violation of the terms of the Loan Documents;

Documents, misappropriation, or conversion by Borrower, any of its Affiliates, Principal or Guarantor of (A) any Insurance Proceeds paid by reason of any loss, damage or destruction to the Property, (B) any Awards received in connection
with a Condemnation of all or a portion of the Property, (C) any Rents or other Property income or collateral proceeds in their respective possession during the continuance of an Event of Default, or (D) any Rents paid more than one month

of an Event of Default, the failure to apply Rents or other Property income, whether collected before or after such Event of Default, to the ordinary, customary, and necessary expenses of operating the Property or, upon demand, to deliver such rents
or other Property income to Lender (provided that the foregoing shall not apply to any Rents or other Property income distributed or expended prior to the occurrence of the Event of Default);
(vii) (A) failure to pay charges for labor or materials or other charges or
judgments that can create Liens on any portion of the Property unless Borrower is contesting such Liens or underlying charges for labor and materials in accordance with the Loan Documents, or (B) failure to maintain insurance or to pay taxes
and assessments unless (1) Lender is escrowing funds therefor and fails to make such payments or has taken possession of the Property following an Event of Default, has received all Rents from the Property applicable to the period for which
such insurance, taxes or other items are due, and thereafter fails to make such payments or (2) there is insufficient cash flow from the Property to pay such taxes, assessments, and insurance premiums;
(viii) any security deposits, advance deposits or any other deposits collected with
respect to the Property which are not delivered to Lender upon a foreclosure of the Property or action in lieu thereof, except to the extent any such security deposits were applied in accordance with the terms and conditions of any of the Leases
prior to the occurrence of the Event of Default that gave rise to such foreclosure or action in lieu thereof;
(ix) intentionally omitted;
(x) any failure by Borrower to comply with any of the
representations, warranties or covenants set forth in Sections 4.1.37 or 5.1.19 hereof;

(xii) any failure by Borrower to permit
on-site inspections of the Property in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents; or

Lender as permitted under this Agreement.

the contrary in this Agreement, the Note or any of the other Loan Documents,

or there is a filing of an involuntary petition against Borrower or any Principal under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law in which Borrower or Guarantor or any Principal colludes with, or otherwise
assists any party in connection with such filing, or solicits or causes to be solicited petitioning creditors for any involuntary petition against Borrower or such Principal from any party; (H) the Property or any part thereof shall at any time

deemed to constitute a waiver by Lender of any right Lender may have under Sections 506(a), 506(b), 1111(b) or any other provision of the Bankruptcy Code to file a claim for the full amount of the Debt or to require that all collateral shall
continue to secure all of the Debt.

92
Section 9.5 Servicer. At
the option of Lender, the Loan may be serviced by a master servicer, primary servicer, special servicer or trustee (any such master servicer, primary servicer, special servicer, and trustee, together with its agents, nominees or designees, are
collectively referred to as Servicer) selected by Lender and Lender may delegate all or any portion of its responsibilities under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to Servicer pursuant to a pooling and servicing
agreement, servicing agreement, special servicing agreement or other agreement providing for the servicing of one or more mortgage loans (collectively, the Servicing Agreement) between Lender and Servicer. Borrower shall be

special servicer to the master servicer, and (iii) the costs of all amounts owed to any third-party contractor in connection with the Servicer obtaining any third-party report, including any property inspections or appraisals of the Properties
(or any updates to any existing inspection or appraisal) that Servicer reasonably determines to obtain or may be required to obtain (other than the cost of regular annual inspections required to be borne by Servicer under the Servicing Agreement).

the party against whom enforcement is sought, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance, and for the purpose, for which given. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no notice to, or demand on Borrower,
shall entitle Borrower to any other or future notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances.
Section 10.5 Delay Not a Waiver. Neither any failure nor any delay on the part of
Lender in insisting upon strict performance of any term, condition, covenant or agreement, or exercising any right, power, remedy or privilege hereunder, or under the Note or under any other Loan Document, or any other instrument given as security
therefor, shall operate as or constitute a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other future exercise, or the exercise of any other right, power, remedy or privilege. In particular, and not by way of
limitation, by accepting payment after the due date of any amount payable under this Agreement, the Note or any other Loan Document, Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any right either to require prompt payment when due of all other amounts
due under this Agreement, the Note or the other Loan Documents, or to declare a default for failure to effect prompt payment of any such other amount.
Section 10.6 Notices. All notices, consents, approvals and requests 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 (a) certified or registered United States mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested or

Section 10.8 Headings. The Article or
Section headings and the Table of Contents in this Agreement are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purpose.
Section 10.9 Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall
be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or
invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.
Section 10.10 Preferences. Lender shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply or
reverse and reapply any and all payments by Borrower to any portion of the obligations of Borrower hereunder. To the extent Borrower makes a payment or payments to Lender, which payment or proceeds or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated,
declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or proceeds
received, the obligations hereunder or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continue in full force and effect, as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by Lender.
Section 10.11 Waiver of Notice. Borrower shall not be entitled to any notices of any nature
whatsoever from Lender except with respect to matters for which this Agreement or the other Loan Documents specifically and expressly provide for the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower and except with respect to matters for which Borrower is
not, pursuant to applicable Legal Requirements, permitted to waive the giving of notice. To the extent permitted under applicable law, Borrower hereby expressly waives the right to receive any notice from Lender with respect to any matter for which
this Agreement or the other Loan Documents do not specifically and expressly provide for the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower.
Section 10.12 Remedies of Borrower. If a claim or adjudication is made that Lender or its agents
have acted unreasonably or unreasonably delayed acting in any case where by law or under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Lender or such agent, as the case may be, has an obligation to act reasonably or promptly, Borrower agrees that
neither Lender nor its agents shall be liable for any monetary damages, and Borrowers sole remedies shall be limited to commencing an action seeking injunctive relief or declaratory judgment. The parties hereto agree that any action or
proceeding to determine whether Lender has acted reasonably shall be determined by an action seeking declaratory judgment.
Section 10.13 Expenses; Indemnity. (a) Borrower covenants and agrees to pay or, if Borrower
fails to pay, to reimburse, Lender upon receipt of written notice from Lender, for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including attorneys fees and expenses for outside counsel) incurred by Lender, to the extent the
payment of such costs and expenses is expressly made the obligation of Borrower under the Loan Documents, in connection with (i) the preparation, negotiation,
97
execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and all the costs of furnishing all opinions by
counsel for Borrower (including any opinions requested by Lender as to any legal matters arising under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents with respect to the Property); (ii) Borrowers ongoing performance of and compliance with
Borrowers respective agreements and covenants contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on its part to be performed or complied with after the Closing Date, including confirming compliance with environmental and insurance
requirements; (iii) Lenders ongoing performance and compliance with all agreements and conditions contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on its part to be performed or complied with after the Closing Date; (iv) the
negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and administration of any consents, amendments, waivers or other modifications to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other documents or matters requested by Lender; (v) securing
Borrowers compliance with any requests made pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement; (vi) the filing and recording fees and expenses, title insurance and fees and expenses of counsel for providing to Lender all required legal
opinions, and other similar expenses incurred in creating and perfecting the Lien in favor of Lender pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; (vii) enforcing or preserving any rights, in response to third party claims or the
prosecuting or defending of any action or proceeding or other litigation, in each case against, under or affecting Borrower, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Property, or any other security given for the Loan; and (viii) enforcing
any obligations of or collecting any payments due from Borrower under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or with respect to the Property (including any fees incurred by Servicer in connection with the transfer of the Loan to a special servicer
prior to a Default or Event of Default) or in connection with any refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided under this Agreement in the nature of a work out or of any insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings; provided,
however, that Borrower shall not be liable for the payment of any such costs and expenses to the extent the same arise by reason of the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud, willful misconduct or bad faith of Lender. Any cost and expenses due and
payable to Lender may be paid from any amounts in the Clearing Account or Cash Management Account, as applicable.
(b) Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Indemnified Parties
from and against any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including the
reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding commenced or threatened, whether or not an Indemnified Party shall be designated a party thereto), that may be imposed on,
incurred by, or asserted against any Indemnified Party in any manner relating to or arising out of (i) any breach by Borrower of its obligations under, or any material misrepresentation by Borrower contained in, this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents, or (ii) the use or intended use of the proceeds of the Loan (collectively, the Indemnified Liabilities); provided, however, that Borrower shall not have any obligation to any Indemnified Party hereunder to the
extent that such Indemnified Liabilities arise from the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud, willful misconduct or bad faith of such Indemnified Party. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, defend and hold harmless set forth in the
preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it violates any law or public policy, Borrower shall pay the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities
incurred by the Indemnified Parties.
98
(c) Borrower covenants and agrees
to pay for or, if Borrower fails to pay, to reimburse Lender for, any fees and expenses incurred by any Rating Agency in connection with any Rating Agency review of the Loan, the Loan Documents or any transaction contemplated thereby or any consent,
approval, waiver or confirmation obtained from such Rating Agency pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document and Lender shall be entitled to require payment of such fees and expenses as a condition precedent to
the obtaining of any such consent, approval, waiver or confirmation.
Section 10.14 Schedules
Incorporated. The Schedules annexed hereto are hereby incorporated herein as a part of this Agreement with the same effect as if set forth in the body hereof.
Section 10.15 Offsets, Counterclaims and Defenses. Any assignee of Lenders interest in and
to this Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents shall take the same free and clear of all offsets, counterclaims or defenses which are unrelated to such documents which Borrower may otherwise have against any assignor of such documents, and
no such unrelated counterclaim or defense shall be interposed or asserted by Borrower in any action or proceeding brought by any such assignee upon such documents and any such right to interpose or assert any such unrelated offset, counterclaim or
defense in any such action or proceeding is hereby expressly waived by Borrower.
Section 10.16 No
Joint Venture or Partnership; No Third Party Beneficiaries. (a) Borrower and Lender intend that the relationships created hereunder and under the other Loan Documents be solely that of borrower and lender. Nothing herein or therein is
intended to create a joint venture, partnership, tenancy in common, or joint tenancy relationship between Borrower and Lender nor to grant Lender any interest in the Property other than that of mortgagee, beneficiary or lender.
(b) This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are solely for the benefit of
Lender and Borrower and nothing contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to confer upon anyone other than Lender and Borrower any right to insist upon or to enforce the performance or observance of any of the
obligations contained herein or therein. All conditions to the obligations of Lender to make the Loan hereunder are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of Lender and no other Person shall have standing to require satisfaction of such
conditions in accordance with their terms or be entitled to assume that Lender will refuse to make the Loan in the absence of strict compliance with any or all thereof and no other Person shall under any circumstances be deemed to be a beneficiary
of such conditions, any or all of which may be freely waived in whole or in part by Lender if, in Lenders discretion, Lender deems it advisable or desirable to do so.
Section 10.17 Publicity. All news releases, publicity or advertising by Borrower or its
Affiliates through any media intended to reach the general public which refers to the Loan Documents or the financing evidenced by the Loan Documents, to Lender, KeyBank National Association or any of their Affiliates shall be subject to the prior
written approval of Lender and KeyBank National Association, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed.
99
Section 10.18 Waiver of Marshalling of Assets. To
the fullest extent permitted by law, Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives all rights to a marshalling of the assets of Borrower, Borrowers partners and others with interests in Borrower, and of the Property, and agrees
not to assert any right under any laws pertaining to the marshalling of assets, the sale in inverse order of alienation, homestead exemption, the administration of estates of decedents, or any other matters whatsoever to defeat, reduce or affect the
right of Lender under the Loan Documents to a sale of the Property for the collection of the Debt without any prior or different resort for collection or of the right of Lender to the payment of the Debt out of the net proceeds of the Property in
preference to every other claimant whatsoever.
Section 10.19 Waiver of Counterclaim.
Borrower hereby waives the right to assert a counterclaim, other than a compulsory counterclaim, in any action or proceeding brought against it by Lender or its agents; provided, however, that such waiver shall in no way limit or otherwise affect
Borrowers right to assert a claim against Lender in any separate action or proceeding.
Section 10.20 Conflict; Construction of Documents; Reliance. In the event of any conflict
between the provisions of this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Agreement shall control. The parties hereto acknowledge that they were represented by competent counsel in connection with the negotiation, drafting
and execution of the Loan Documents and that such Loan Documents shall not be subject to the principle of construing their meaning against the party which drafted same. Borrower acknowledges that, with respect to the Loan, Borrower shall rely solely
on its own judgment and advisors in entering into the Loan without relying in any manner on any statements, representations or recommendations of Lender or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender. Lender shall not be subject to any limitation
whatsoever in the exercise of any rights or remedies available to it under any of the Loan Documents or any other agreements or instruments which govern the Loan by virtue of the ownership by it or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender of
any equity interest any of them may acquire in Borrower, and Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to raise any defense or take any action on the basis of the foregoing with respect to Lenders exercise of any such rights or remedies.
Borrower acknowledges that Lender engages in the business of real estate financings and other real estate transactions and investments which may be viewed as adverse to or competitive with the business of Borrower or its Affiliates.
Section 10.21 Brokers and Financial Advisors. Borrower hereby represents that it has dealt with
no financial advisors, brokers, underwriters, placement agents, agents or finders in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all
claims, liabilities, reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses of any kind (including Lenders attorneys fees and expenses) in any way relating to or arising from a claim by any Person that such Person acted on behalf of
Borrower or Lender in connection with the transactions contemplated herein. The provisions of this Section 10.21 shall survive the expiration and termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Debt.
100
Section 10.22 Prior Agreements. This Agreement and
the other Loan Documents contain the entire agreement of the parties hereto and thereto in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and all prior agreements among or between such parties, whether oral or written, between Borrower
and Lender are superseded by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
Section 10.23 Liability. If Borrower consists of more than one (1) Person the obligations
and liabilities of each Person shall be joint and several. Under no circumstances whatsoever shall Lender have any liability for punitive, special, consequential or incidental damages in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to or
under this Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document or in any way related to the transactions contemplated or any relationship established by this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any act, omission or event occurring in connection herewith
or therewith, and, to the extent not expressly prohibited by applicable laws, Borrower for itself and its Guarantor and indemnitors waives all claims for punitive, special, consequential or incidental damages. Lender shall have no duties or
responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement, the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents. Neither Lender nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable for any action taken or omitted by them
as such hereunder or in connection herewith, unless caused by their gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Borrower and Lender and their respective successors and assigns
forever.
Section 10.24 Certain Additional Rights of Lender (VCOC). Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Lender shall have:
(a) the
right to consult with and advise Borrowers management regarding the significant business activities and business and financial developments of Borrower; provided, however, that such consultations shall not include discussions of
environmental compliance programs or disposal of hazardous substances. Consultation meetings should occur on a regular basis (no more frequently than twice per calendar year) with Lender having the right to call special meetings at any reasonable
times and upon reasonable advance notice;
(b) the right, in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement, to examine the books and records of Borrower at any reasonable times upon not less than five (5) Business Days prior notice but no more than once in any calendar year except during the continuance of an Event
of Default;
(c) the right, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement,
including Section 5.1.11 hereof, to receive quarterly and year end financial reports, including balance sheets, statements of income, shareholders equity and cash flow, a management report and schedules of outstanding indebtedness;
and
(d) the right, without restricting any other rights of Lender under
this Agreement (including any similar right), to approve any acquisition by Borrower of any other significant property (other than personal property required for the day to day operation of the Property).
The rights described above in this Section 10.24 may be exercised by any entity which owns and Controls, directly or indirectly,
substantially all of the interests in Lender.
101
Section 10.25 OFAC. Borrower hereby represents,
warrants and covenants that neither Borrower nor any Guarantor is (or will be) a person with whom Lender is restricted from doing business under regulations of the Office of Foreign Asset Control (OFAC) of the Department of the
Treasury of the United States of America (including, those Persons named on OFACs Specially Designated and Blocked Persons list) or under any statute, executive order (including, the September 24, 2001 Executive Order Blocking Property
and Prohibiting Transactions With Persons Who Commit, Threaten to Commit, or Support Terrorism), or other governmental action and is not and shall not engage in any dealings or transactions or otherwise be associated with such persons. In addition,
Borrower hereby covenants to provide Lender with any additional information that Lender deems reasonably necessary from time to time in order to ensure compliance with all applicable laws concerning money laundering and similar activities.
Section 10.26 Duplicate Originals; Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
duplicate originals and each duplicate original shall be deemed to be an original. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which counterpart shall be deemed an original instrument and all of which together shall constitute a
single Agreement. The failure of any party hereto to execute this Agreement, or any counterpart hereof, shall not relieve the other signatories from their obligations hereunder.
ARTICLE XI LOCAL LAW PROVISIONS
Section 11.1 Inconsistencies. In the event of any inconsistencies between the terms
and conditions of this Article XI and the other provisions of this Agreement, the terms and conditions of this Article XI shall control and be binding.
Section 11.2 Trial by Jury. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT NOW OR HEREAFTER PERMITTED BY
APPLICABLE LAW, EACH OF LENDER AND BORROWER HEREBY AGREES NOT TO ELECT A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY ISSUE TRIABLE OF RIGHT BY JURY, AND WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY FULLY TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY SUCH RIGHT SHALL NOW OR HEREAFTER EXIST WITH REGARD TO
THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR ANY CLAIM, COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER ACTION ARISING IN CONNECTION THEREWITH. THIS WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IS GIVEN KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY BY LENDER AND BORROWER, AND IS INTENDED TO ENCOMPASS INDIVIDUALLY EACH INSTANCE
AND EACH ISSUE AS TO WHICH THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY WOULD OTHERWISE ACCRUE. EACH OF LENDER AND BORROWER IS HEREBY AUTHORIZED TO FILE A COPY OF THIS PARAGRAPH IN ANY PROCEEDING AS CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OF THIS WAIVER BY BORROWER.
