3.2 Payment of Taxes. Borrower shall pay all real estate taxes, assessments and charges of every kind upon the Project before the same become delinquent in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.1 above and, upon request of Lender, Borrower shall furnish Lender evidence of such payment; provided, however, that Borrower shall have the right to pay any such tax, assessment or charge under protest or to otherwise contest any such tax, assessment or charge but only if (i) such contest has the effect of preventing the collection of such tax, assessment or charge so contested and also preventing the sale or forfeiture of the Project or any part thereof or any interest therein, (ii) Borrower has notified Lender in writing in advance of its intent to contest such tax, assessment or charge, and (iii) Borrower has deposited security in form and amount satisfactory to Lender, in its sole judgment, and increases the amount of such security so deposited promptly after Lender’s request therefor. If Borrower shall fail to commence such contest or, having commenced such contest, and having deposited such security required by Lender for its full amount, shall thereafter fail to prosecute such contest in good faith or with due diligence, or, upon adverse conclusion of any such contest, shall fail to pay the tax, assessment or charge so contested, Lender may at its election (but shall not be required to), pay and discharge any such tax, assessment or charge, and any interest or penalty thereon, and any amounts so expended by Lender shall be deemed to constitute disbursements of the Loan proceeds hereunder (even if the total amount of disbursements would exceed the face amount of the Note), and shall bear interest from the date expended at the Default Rate and be payable with such interest upon demand. Lender in making any payment hereby authorized relating to any tax, assessment or charge, may do so according to any bill, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office without inquiry into the accuracy of such bill, statement or estimate or into the validity of any tax, assessment, charge, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim thereof.

(b) No Other Insurance. Borrower shall not take out separate insurance concurrent in form or contributing in the event of loss with that required to be maintained hereunder unless Lender is included thereon under a standard, non-contributory Lender clause acceptable to Lender. Borrower shall immediately notify Lender whenever any such separate insurance is taken out and shall promptly deliver to Lender the original policy or policies of such insurance.
(c) Lender’s Right to Obtain Insurance: Notwithstanding this Section 3.3, upon an Event of Default under this Agreement or a Default under any of the other Loan Documents, Lender or Mortgage Correspondent shall have the right (but not the obligation) to place and maintain insurance required to be
8
placed and maintained by Borrower hereunder, and use funds on deposit in the Escrow Account for the payment of insurance to pay for same. Any additional amounts expended therefor shall constitute additional disbursements of Loan proceeds (even if the total amount of disbursements would exceed the face amount of the Note), and shall bear interest from the date expended at the Default Rate and be payable together with such interest upon demand.
3.4 Mechanics’ Liens and Contest Thereof. Borrower will not suffer or permit any mechanics’ lien claims to be filed or otherwise asserted against the Project and will discharge the same within thirty (30) days; provided, however, that Borrower shall have the right to contest in good faith and with due diligence the validity of any such lien or claim upon furnishing to the Title Insurer such security or indemnity as it may require to induce the Title Insurer to insure against all such claims, liens or proceedings; and provided further that Lender will not be required to make any further disbursements of the Loan proceeds unless (a) any mechanics’ lien claims shown by any title insurance commitments or interim binders or certifications have been released or insured against by the Title Insurer, or (b) Borrower shall have provided Lender with such other security with respect to such claim as may be acceptable to Lender, in its sole discretion.
3.5 Settlement of Mechanics’ Lien Claims. If Borrower shall fail, within thirty (30) days, to discharge any mechanics’ lien claim filed or otherwise asserted or to contest any such claims and give security or indemnity in the manner provided in Section 3.4 hereof, or, having commenced to contest the same, and having given such security or indemnity, shall thereafter fail to prosecute such contest in good faith or with due diligence, or fail to maintain such indemnity or security so required by the Title Insurer for its full amount, or, upon adverse conclusion of any such contest, shall fail to cause any judgment or decree to be satisfied and lien to be promptly released, then, and in any such event, Lender may, at its election (but shall not be required to): (i) procure the release and discharge of any such claim and any judgment or decree thereon, without inquiring into or investigating the amount, validity or enforceability of such lien or claim, and (ii) effect any settlement or compromise of the same, or may furnish such security or indemnity to the Title Insurer, and any amounts expended by Lender in doing so, including premiums paid or security furnished in connection with the issuance of any surety company bonds, shall be deemed to constitute disbursements of the Loan proceeds hereunder (even if the total amount of disbursements would exceed the face amount of the Note), and shall bear interest from the date expended at the Default Rate and be payable together with such interest upon demand.

If Lender shall fail to respond to Borrower’s request for consent to a proposed lease or lease modification within five (5) business days after receipt of such request, Borrower shall send a second request for consent to Lender and Lender’s failure to respond to such second request within three (3) business days after receipt thereof shall be deemed Lender’s consent of the proposed lease or lease modification. All new lessees shall be required, at Lender’s election, to execute estoppel certificates and subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreements in form and
9
substance satisfactory to Lender. Any new lease, modification, amendment, waiver of any material provision, termination or cancellation of any lease of space in the Project without the prior written consent of Lender, as provided herein, shall be deemed by Lender, in its sole discretion, as an Event of Default.
3.8 Compliance With Laws. Borrower shall promptly comply with all applicable Laws of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over Borrower or the Project, and shall take all actions necessary to bring the Project into compliance with all applicable Laws, including without limitation all Building Laws (whether now existing or hereafter enacted). Borrower shall immediately notify Lender if Borrower receives any actual notice, action or lien notice or otherwise becomes aware that the Project violates or is alleged to violate any Building Law, and of a condition or situation on the Project which will constitute violation of a Building Law (whether now existing or hereafter enacted). The notice to Lender shall describe with particularity the Building Law violation and the Borrower’s plan to promptly correct the violation. At its own cost, Borrower will take all actions necessary to bring the Project into compliance with all applicable Laws (whether now existing or hereafter enacted).
3.9 Alterations/New Improvements. Without the prior written consent of Lender, Borrower shall not (1) make any material alterations to the Project (other than completion of tenant work required in accordance with leases entered into in accordance with the terms of this Agreement) or (2) construct any new Improvements of any kind on the Land.
If a request is made by Borrower and consented to by Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, Lender’s consent shall be conditioned upon receipt and approval of information, documentation and assurances, standard in the lending industry, when new construction is contemplated. Such information, documentation and assurances shall include, but not by way of limitation, lien waivers, invoices and proof of payment, survey revisions, date down title endorsements and evidence of property and liability insurance coverage.

Borrower shall fully and faithfully perform all of its covenants, agreements and obligations under each of the leases of space in the Project. Borrower shall not initiate or acquiesce in a zoning variation or reclassification without Lender’s consent.
3.17 Management Agents’ and Brokers’ Contracts. Borrower shall not enter into, modify, amend, waive any material provision of, terminate or cancel any management agreement for the Project without the prior written approval of Lender, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

3.18 Furnishing Notices. Borrower shall deliver to Lender and Mortgage Correspondent copies of all material notices received or given by Borrower (or its agents or representatives) in connection with the Project.
3.19 Indemnification. Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold Lender, Mortgage Correspondent and their respective directors, officers, members, shareholders, employees, agents contractors, licensees, invitees, successors and assigns (collectively, “Indemnified Parties”) harmless from and against all claims, injury, damage, loss, costs (including reasonable attorney fees and costs) and liability of any and every kind incurred by Indemnified Parties by reason of: (i) the operation or maintenance of the project or any construction at the project; (ii) the payment of any brokerage commissions or fees of any kind with respect to the Application/Commitment or the Loan, and for any reasonable legal fees or expenses incurred by Lender in connection with any claims for such commissions or fees; (iii) any other action or inaction by, or matter which is the responsibility of, Borrower; (iv) the breach of any representation or warranty or failure to fulfill any of Borrower’s obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (v) any default that occurs, including an Event of Default; and (vi) the death or incapacity of any Indemnitor or any other individual(s) having direct or indirect management or control over the Project and/or Borrower.

12
engineering, legal and accounting costs), all fines, fees and penalties, and all legal and other expenses (including reasonable attorney fees), incurred in connection with the Project being in violation of Building Laws and for the cost of collection of the sums due under this indemnity, whether or not Borrower is in possession of the Project. If Lender shall become the owner of or acquire an interest in or rights to the Project by a Foreclosure Conveyance, the foregoing indemnification obligation shall survive such Foreclosure Conveyance but only as to matters which arose prior to the Foreclosure Conveyance. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the indemnity provided under this Section 3.19 will not apply to any liability, loss, cost, expense or damage (including reasonable attorney fees) to the extent that they solely result from the gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of Lender or first occur due to matters arising after any Foreclosure Conveyance.

(c) If Borrower, or any of its general partners is a limited liability company with only one member (a “Single-Member LLC”), then such Single-Member LLC must be duly organized and in good standing under the laws of the state of Delaware (or another jurisdiction satisfactory to Lender in its sole discretion), and shall maintain in effect an operating agreement or other operative entity document that provides for the continued existence of Borrower (or such general partner) in the event of the death, dissolution, resignation, bankruptcy or other legal incapacity of its single member (so that the Single-Member LLC will continue to exist notwithstanding such event).
3.21 Publicity. During the term of the Loan, Lender and Mortgage Correspondent may issue or publish releases or announcements stating that the financing for the Project is being provided by Lender to Borrower, and Borrower hereby consents thereto, provided Borrower has first been given the opportunity to review and has approved the substance of such publication. Borrower has the right to disclose the making of the Loan and its terms to the extent required to be disclosed in any public filings or as otherwise required by law or determined to be prudent by its accountants.
3.22 Lender’s Attorney Fees and Expenses. If at any time hereafter prior to repayment of the Loan in full, Lender employs counsel for advice or other representation (whether or not any suit has been or shall be filed and whether or not other legal proceedings have been or shall be instituted and, if such suit is filed or legal proceedings instituted, through all administrative, trial, and appellate levels) with respect to the Loan, the Project or any part thereof, this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents (expressly excluding, however, legal fees incurred by Lender in any general audit of Lender’s loan
13
portfolio, but expressly including [without limitation] any proposed or actual restructuring of the Loan, or to protect, collect, lease, sell, take possession of, or liquidate any of the Project, or to attempt to enforce any security interest or lien on any of the Project, or to enforce any rights of Lender or any of Borrower’s obligations hereunder or those of any other person, firm or corporation which may be obligated to Lender by virtue of this Agreement or any other agreement, instrument or document heretofore or hereafter delivered to Lender by or for the benefit of Borrower, or to analyze and respond to any request for consent or approval made by Borrower), then, in any such event, all of the reasonable attorney fees and expenses arising from such services, and all expenses, costs and charges relating thereto, shall bear interest from the date expended at the Default Rate and shall be paid by Borrower on demand and if Borrower fails to pay such fees, costs and expenses payment thereof by Lender shall be deemed to constitute disbursement of the Loan proceeds hereunder (even if the total amount of disbursements would exceed the face amount of the Note) and shall constitute additional indebtedness of Borrower to Lender, payable on demand and secured by the Security Instrument and other Loan Documents.
3.23 Loan Expenses. Borrower agrees to pay all expenses of the Loan, including all amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.24 of this Agreement, and also including all recording charges, title insurance charges, costs of surveys, costs for certified copies of instruments, escrow charges, fees, expenses and charges of architectural/engineering consultants of Lender, fees and expenses of Lender’s attorneys, and all costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with the determination of whether Borrower has performed the obligations undertaken by Borrower under this Agreement or has satisfied any conditions precedent to the obligations of Lender under this Agreement. All such expenses, charges, costs and fees shall be the Borrower’s obligation regardless of whether the Loan is disbursed in whole or in part unless such failure to disburse is due to Lender’s wrongful failure to disburse hereunder. Any and all advances or payments made by Lender under this Agreement from time to time, or for fees of architectural and engineering consultants and attorney fees and expenses, if any, and all other Loan expenses shall, as and when advanced or incurred by Lender, constitute additional indebtedness evidenced by the Note and secured by the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents to the same extent and effect as if the terms and provisions of this Agreement were set forth therein, whether or not the aggregate of such indebtedness shall exceed the aggregate face amount of the Note.
3.24 Loan Fees. Borrower agrees to pay the loan fees (“Loan Fees”) as are set forth in the Application/Commitment, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein. Borrower shall pay all Loan Fees at the times set forth in the Application/Commitment and shall pay all expenses incurred by Lender at the Loan Opening Date and on demand at such subsequent times as Lender may determine, including administrative fees and expenses in connection with any modification of any of the terms of the Loan, and including any administrative costs or out-of-pocket fees and expenses (including without limitation fees and expenses of any attorneys, accountants or consultants engaged by Lender) as a result of the death or incapacity of any Indemnitor or any other individual(s) having direct or indirect management or control over the Project and/or Borrower. Lender may require the payment of such fees and expenses as a condition to the disbursement of the Loan.
3.25 No Additional Debt. Borrower shall not, without the prior written consent of Lender, incur any indebtedness (whether personal or nonrecourse, secured or unsecured) in connection with the Project, other than customary trade payables paid within sixty (60) days after they are incurred. Borrower represents that the Project constitutes a single real estate project, and does not constitute residential real property with fewer than four residential units. Borrower represents that the Project generates substantially all of the gross income of Borrower, and Borrower conducts no substantial business other than the business of owning and operating the Project and activities incidental thereto. Borrower shall not
14
conduct any business activity that would disqualify the Project from having a “single asset real estate” status as defined by Section 101(51)(B) of the Bankruptcy Code.
3.26 Service Agreements and Permits. (a) Borrower hereby assigns, grants, conveys and transfers to Lender, as security for the timely payment and performance by Borrower of all of its obligations under the Loan Documents and all other obligations of Borrower which are secured by the Security Instrument, all of Borrower’s rights, titles, interests, privileges, benefits and remedies in, to and under (i) all Service Agreements and any and all present and future amendments, modifications, supplements, and addenda thereto, and (ii) Permits to the fullest extent that the same or any interest therein may be legally assigned by Borrower. By its funding of the Loan and so long as an Event of Default shall not have occurred and be continuing under this Agreement, Lender hereby grants to Borrower a revocable license to enforce the Service Agreements, and to utilize all of the Permits and the trade names, trademarks and logos necessary for the ownership and operation of the Project.
(b) Borrower shall at all times faithfully abide by, perform and discharge each of its obligations under the Service Agreements and the Permits, diligently enforce its rights in, under and to the Service Agreements and the Permits, unless otherwise directed by Lender in writing, and shall, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, appear in and defend Lender in any action or proceeding in any way connected with any of the Service Agreements or Permits, and shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees, which Lender may incur in connection with Lender’s appearance, voluntarily or otherwise, in any such action or proceeding.
3.27 Project Management. The Real Property shall be managed at all times by Borrower, by Indemnitor or by a Qualified Property Manager. Borrower shall cause each property manager to execute an agreement acceptable to Lender conditionally assigning such manager’s property management agreement to Lender and subordinating manager’s right to receive fees and expenses under such agreement while any sums payable to Lender remain outstanding under the Loan Documents.
3.28 Assignment of Lease by Lessee.
(a) (i) In all instances in which landlord’s consent to such assignment is required under the terms of the Lease, Borrower shall not provide such consent without the prior written approval of Lender, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Borrower’s request for Lender’s approval shall include all relevant information and documentation provided by Lessee.
| (ii) | In no event shall any such consent include a release of Lessee. |
(b) Borrower shall promptly notify Lender of any assignment of the Lease by Lessee for which landlord’s consent is not required under the terms of the Lease
3.29 Right to Call.

If the Indemnitor does not meet each and all of these three tests, and the Borrower desires to have the Loan remain outstanding, then the Borrower can propose credit enhancement to Lender for its approval, which credit enhancement shall be subject to Lender approval, in Lender’s sole discretion. If such credit enhancement is approved by Lender, Borrower shall promptly provide same in
15
form and substance acceptable to Lender in Lender’s sole discretion.

| 5. | CASUALTY AND CONDEMNATION. |
5.1 Lender’s Right to Settle Claims; Election to Apply Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds to Indebtedness. Except as otherwise provided in this Section, in the event of any loss or damage to any portion of the Project due to fire or other casualty, or any taking of any portion of the Project by condemnation or under power of eminent domain, Lender may, in its sole and absolute discretion, either apply the proceeds to the Loan balance or disburse them for the purposes of repair and restoration. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, Borrower has the right to use insurance or condemnation proceeds to rebuild following a casualty or a condemnation of the Improvements, or to remedy the effect on the Project of any condemnation, provided that (i) Lender shall have the right to settle any claim or award that Borrower has not settled on or before one hundred twenty (120) days after the date of such loss or prior to the date of such taking and (ii) each of the following is satisfied in the determination of Lender: (a) no Event of Default exists, (b) no payment Event of Default has occurred during the preceding twelve months, (c) the proceeds received by Lender, together with any additional funds deposited with Lender by Borrower, are sufficient, in Lender’s sole and absolute discretion, either to restore the Project to its condition before the casualty or to remedy the condemnation, (d) local building and zoning laws allow the Project to be rebuilt to that which existed prior to the casualty or
20
condemnation, (e) a loss of no more than 5% of the commercial tenant rental income results through commercial tenants exercising rights to terminate their leases as a result of casualty or condemnation, and (f) the Loan-to-Value ratio of the Project on completion will be 60% or less, as determined by an Appraisal (provided, however, in the event the casualty or condemnation proceeds received are less than 3% of the original Loan amount, Borrower will not have to satisfy this subpart (f) to rebuild). The Appraisal required pursuant to the foregoing provision shall be at Borrower’s expense and Borrower is required to provide proof of such payment to Lender and Lender’s Mortgage Correspondent. Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, Lender shall make the proceeds available to Borrower for restoration if the Lease requires Landlord to restore.
Provided that no Event of Default exists, and so long as the insurance or condemnation proceeds do not exceed $300,000, Borrower need not demonstrate satisfaction of the foregoing conditions so long as (i) Borrower uses the proceeds of any claim to rebuild or restore the Project to its condition prior to the casualty, (ii) Borrower provides Lender with written notice of the casualty, and (iii) local building and zoning laws allow the Project to be rebuilt to the condition prior to the casualty. Failure to rebuild and restore in accordance with all applicable restoration provisions set forth herein following any applicable notice and cure periods, will constitute an Event of Default under the Loan Documents. Failure to use the insurance proceeds received directly from the insurance company to rebuild and restore is a Recourse Event as defined in Section 9.18 of this Agreement.
In all other cases, Lender shall have the right (but not the obligation) to collect, retain and apply to the indebtedness of Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents all insurance and condemnation proceeds (after deduction of all expense of collection and settlement, including attorney and adjusters’ fees and expenses), and if such proceeds are insufficient to pay such amount in full, Borrower shall, within 60 days after the application of proceeds by Lender, pay the remaining Loan amounts unpaid, without prepayment premium. Failure of the Borrower to repay the remaining amounts due within said 60 day period shall constitute a default under the Loan Documents. During such 60 day period Borrower shall continue to perform all of its covenants and responsibilities until the Loan has been paid in full. After the expiration of said 60 day period and failure of Borrower to pay said remaining amounts in full, Lender may enforce all of its rights and remedies under the Loan Documents. Any proceeds remaining after application to the indebtedness of Borrower under the Loan and the other Loan Documents shall be paid by Lender to Borrower or the party then entitled thereto.
5.2 Borrower’s Obligation to Rebuild and Use of Proceeds Therefor. If Lender does not elect to or is not entitled to apply fire or casualty insurance proceeds to the indebtedness, all insurance proceeds received will be deposited into a third party escrow account controlled by Lender or its Mortgage Correspondent. Lender may also require that Borrower deposit any deficit between the business interruption or loss of rents proceeds received and the debt service due under the Loan Documents during the period of rebuilding or restoration of the Improvements. As provided under Section 5.1 of this Agreement, Lender shall have the right (but not the obligation) to settle, collect and retain such proceeds, and after deduction of all expenses of collection and settlement, including attorney and adjusters’ fees and expenses, to release the same to Borrower periodically provided that Borrower shall:
(a) Diligently repair and restore all damage to the portion of the Project in question resulting from such fire or other casualty, including completion of the construction if such fire or other casualty shall have occurred prior to completion, so that the Project will be completed in accordance with the plans and specifications therefor; and
21
(b) If the proceeds of fire or casualty insurance (and the undisbursed available Loan proceeds for construction) are, in Lender’s sole judgment, insufficient to complete the repair and restoration of the buildings, structures and other improvements constituting the Project, then Borrower shall promptly deposit with Lender the amount of such deficiency.
Any request by Borrower for a disbursement by Lender of fire or casualty insurance proceeds and funds deposited by Borrower pursuant to this Section 5.2 and the disbursement thereof shall be conditioned upon Borrower’s compliance with and satisfaction of the same conditions precedent as would be applicable in connection with construction loans made by institutional lenders for projects similar to the Project, including approval of plans and specifications, submittal of evidence of completion, updated title insurance, lien waivers, and other customary safeguards.
| 6. | ASSIGNMENTS. |
6.1 Lender’s Right to Assign. Lender shall have the right to assign, transfer, sell, negotiate, pledge or otherwise hypothecate this Agreement and any of its rights and security hereunder, including the Note, Security Instrument, and any other Loan Documents. Lender shall have the right to hire outside firms it deems necessary to assist with the servicing, administration and monitoring of the Loan. Borrower hereby agrees that all of the rights and remedies of Lender in connection with the interest so assigned shall be enforceable against Borrower by such assignee with the same force and effect and to the same extent as the same would have been enforceable by Lender but for such assignment. Borrower agrees that Lender shall have the right to sell participations in the Loan or to include the Note in a securitized pool of indebtedness without the consent of Borrower.
6.2 Prohibition of Assignments by Borrower. Except as set forth in Section 6.1 hereof, Borrower shall not assign or attempt to assign its rights under this Agreement. Borrower will not suffer or permit any of its interest or rights in the Project to be assigned, transferred, sold, pledged, vested, encumbered, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of (the foregoing are hereinafter referred to individually as a “Transfer,” collectively as “Transfers”) until the provisions of this Agreement have been fully complied with and the Loan and all other sums evidenced by the Note and/or secured by the Security Instrument and other Loan Documents, have been repaid in full. Borrower shall promptly notify Lender of the death or incapacity of any Indemnitor or any other individual(s) having direct or indirect management or control over the Property and/or Borrower. Failure of Borrower to provide such notice shall constitute a default under the Loan Documents.
6.3 Transfers of Interests in Borrower. For estate-planning purposes only, Borrower, or any partner, member or shareholder of Borrower shall be permitted to make a Transfer of any direct or indirect interest in Borrower (other than a general partnership interest in Borrower if Borrower is a partnership, or a Managing Member or Manager interest in Borrower, if Borrower is a limited liability company) to or for the benefit of a spouse or lineal descendant (including by adoption), up to an aggregate of 49% of the total interests of Borrower, without the prior consent of Lender, provided that any such Transfer does not change the direct or indirect control or management of Borrower. Copies of any and all documents evidencing any such Transfer must be provided to Lender within fifteen (15) days after the occurrence of said Transfer including, without limitation, a statement detailing the Transfer and a listing of reallocations and percentages of ownership interest in Borrower. Other than for estate-planning purposes as outlined above, no direct or indirect managing or controlling interest, nor any other interest representing (directly or indirectly) a more than ten percent (10%) interest in the Borrower or the Project, may be Transferred (including without limitation any Transfer resulting from death of any natural person
22
holding any direct or indirect interest in Borrower or the Project) without the prior written consent of Lender (which Lender may withhold at its sole discretion); and the occurrence of such an event will constitute an Event of Default under the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing any Transfers that would result in there being any co-borrowers, other than or in addition to Borrower, shall be strictly prohibited.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained herein shall prohibit the sale, conveyance, transfer or assignment of any publicly or privately traded shares of Indemnitor as long as such sale, conveyance, transfer or assignment does not change the management or control of Indemnitor or such transaction does not involve one person or one entity acquiring over 25% control or ownership of such outstanding shares.
| 7. | EVENTS OF DEFAULT. |
7.1 Event of Default. The occurrence of any one or more of the following shall constitute an “Event of Default,” as such term is used herein:
(a) If Borrower fails to pay principal or interest under the Note when due and such failure continues for three (3) days after notice from Lender as to such non-payment; provided that Borrower shall not be entitled to such notice and grace period more than two (2) times in any twelve (12) month calendar period;
(b) If Borrower defaults in the performance of any of its other covenants, agreements and obligations under this Agreement involving the payment of money and such default continues for three (3) days after notice from Lender as to such default; provided that Borrower shall not be entitled to such notice and grace period more than two (2) times in any twelve (12) month calendar period;
(c) If Borrower defaults in the performance of any of its covenants, agreements and obligations under this Agreement not expressly described in other subparts of this Section, and fails to cure such default within thirty (30) days after written notice thereof from Lender provided, however, that if such default is reasonably susceptible of cure within a total of ninety (90) days from said written notice, and such default has occurred through no fault of Borrower, then so long as Borrower promptly commences cure and thereafter diligently pursues such cure to completion, the cure period shall be extended for an additional sixty (60) days, within which Borrower may complete such cure;
(d) If at any time or times hereafter any representation or warranty (including the representations and warranties of Borrower set forth in any Loan Document), statement, report or certificate furnished to Lender in connection with the Loan is not true and correct in any material respect and Borrower fails to cure such inaccuracy within ten (10) business days;
(e) If any petition is filed by or against Borrower or any Affiliated Party under the Bankruptcy Code or any similar state or federal Law, whether now or hereafter existing (and, in the case of involuntary proceedings, failure to cause the same to be vacated, stayed or set aside within thirty (30) days after filing);
(f) If any assignment, pledge, encumbrance, transfer, hypothecation, failure of notice or other disposition is made in violation of Section 6.2 or Section 6.3 of this Agreement;
(g) If Borrower or Indemnitor after the first year the Loan is outstanding, shall fail to pay any debt owed by it or is in default under any agreement with Lender [or any other party] (other than a failure
23
or default for which the maximum liability of Borrower or Indemnitor does not exceed 25% of their respective assets) and such failure or default continues after any applicable grace period specified in the instrument or agreement relating thereto or five (5) days if no grace period is provided in such instrument or agreement;
(h) If a default (other than those set forth in this Section 7.1) occurs under any of the Loan Documents and continues beyond the applicable grace period, if any, contained therein; or
(i) If Borrower defaults in the performance of any of its covenants, agreements and obligations set forth in Section 3.20 of this Agreement and such default is not cured within five (5) business days after the occurrence of such default.
| 8. | REMEDIES. |
8.1 Remedies Conferred Upon Lender. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, including without limitation the filing, by Borrower, of a voluntary petition under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, Lender shall have the right (but not the obligation) to pursue any one or more of the following remedies concurrently or successively, it being the intent hereof that all such remedies shall be cumulative and that no such remedy shall be to the exclusion of any other:
(a) Declare the Note to be immediately due and payable;
(b) Use and apply any monies deposited by Borrower with Lender, including amounts in the Escrow Account, regardless of the purpose for which the same was deposited, to cure any such default or to apply on account of any indebtedness under this Agreement which is due and owing to Lender;
(c) Exercise or pursue any other right or remedy permitted under this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents or conferred upon or available to Lender at law or in equity or otherwise; and
(d) To correct any such Event of Default in such manner and to such extent as Lender may deem necessary to protect the security hereof, including, without limitation, the right (but not the obligation) to appear in and defend any action or proceeding purporting to affect the security hereof or the rights or powers of Lender, and also the right (but not the obligation) to perform and discharge each and every obligation, covenant, condition and agreement of Borrower under the Service Agreements and the Permits. Lender shall not be obligated to perform or discharge, nor does it hereby undertake to perform or discharge, any obligation, duty or liability under any of the Service Agreements nor any of the Permits, or by reason of this Agreement, unless or until Lender exercises its rights hereunder. Lender may, at its option, upon written notice to the appropriate Consenting Party in the case of a Service Agreement, exercise any or all of the rights and remedies granted to Borrower under any Service Agreement or Permit, including any right or remedy with respect to the Consenting Party in question in the case of a Service Agreement, as if Lender had been an original party to such Service Agreement or the permittee under the Permit. After an Event of Default, upon giving such notice to any Consenting Party with respect to a Service Agreement, Lender may elect to assume all obligations of Borrower under any Service Agreement between Borrower and the Consenting Party or with respect to any Permit; but in any case Lender shall not be responsible for any default of Borrower under the Service Agreement occurring prior to the time Lender gives such notice to the Consenting Party or assumes the obligations under any Permit. Each Consenting Party is hereby authorized by Borrower to perform its obligations under the Service Agreements to which it is a party for the benefit of Lender without any obligation to determine whether or not an Event of Default has in fact occurred.
24
8.2 Non-Waiver of Remedies. No waiver of any breach or default hereunder shall constitute or be construed as a waiver by Lender of any subsequent breach or default or of any breach or default of any other provision of this Agreement.
8.3 Cash Collateral Account. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Borrower shall deposit all revenues from the operation of the Project into an account held by and pledged to Lender (“Cash Collateral Account”) after Borrower has failed to promptly cure as provided for in the Loan Documents. Lender shall not pay interest on any amounts held on deposit in the Cash Collateral Account, unless required to do so under applicable Laws. Borrower shall execute such documents as Lender, in its sole discretion, deems necessary to perfect its interest in the Cash Collateral Account.
| 9. | GENERAL PROVISIONS. |
9.1 Captions. The captions and headings of various Articles and Sections of this Agreement and Exhibits pertaining hereto are for convenience only and are not to be considered as defining or limiting in any way, the scope or intent of the provisions hereof.
9.2 Merger. This Agreement, the Application/Commitment and the Loan Documents and instruments delivered in connection herewith, as may be amended from time to time in writing, constitute the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the Project and the Loan, and all prior discussions, negotiations and document drafts are merged herein and therein. If there are any inconsistencies between the Application/Commitment and this Agreement or the Loan Documents, the terms contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall prevail. Neither Lender nor any employee of Lender has made or is authorized to make any representation or agreement upon which Borrower may rely unless such matter is made for the benefit of Borrower and is in writing signed by an authorized officer of Lender. Borrower agrees that it has not and will not rely on any custom or practice of Lender, or on any course of dealing with Lender, in connection with the Loan unless such matters are set forth in this Agreement or the Loan Documents or in an instrument made for the benefit of Borrower and in a writing signed by an authorized officer of Lender.
9.3 Notices. Any notice, demand, request or other communication which any party hereto may be required or may desire to give hereunder shall be in writing, in capitalized, bold letters using a font size of at least 12 pts., addressed as follows and shall be deemed to have been properly given if hand delivered, if sent by reputable overnight courier (effective the business day following delivery to such courier) or if mailed (effective two business days after mailing) by United States registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested to such addresses (for the applicable person or party) as set forth on Exhibit B hereto; or at such other address as the party to be served with notice may have furnished in writing to the party seeking or desiring to serve notice as a place for the service of notice. Notices given in any other fashion shall be deemed effective only upon receipt. The communication shall clearly state, in the same format as above, the number of days, business or otherwise, in which Lender has to review the communication before consent is deemed given, when applicable.
9.4 Modification; Waiver. No modification, waiver, amendment, discharge or change of this Agreement shall be valid unless the same is in writing and signed by the party against which the enforcement of such modification, waiver, amendment, discharge or change is sought. Lender reserves the right to charge an administrative fee for any such modification, waiver, amendment, discharge, or change of this Agreement.
25
9.5 Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED, CONSTRUED, APPLIED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE IN WHICH THE PROJECT IS LOCATED AND THE APPLICABLE LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
9.6 Acquiescence Not to Constitute Waiver of Lender’s Requirements. Lender may at any time by a specific writing waive compliance by Borrower with any covenant in any Loan Document, consent to Borrower’s doing any act which in any Loan Document Borrower is prohibited from doing, or to Borrower’s failing to do any act which in any Loan Document Borrower is required to do, release any part of the Project or any interest therein from the lien and security interest of the Security Instrument, or release any person liable for any part of the Loan without impairing or releasing the liability of any other person. Lender may waive any Default without waiving any other prior or subsequent Default. Lender may remedy any Default without waiving the Default remedied. Neither failure by Lender to exercise, nor delay by Lender in exercising, nor discontinuance of the exercise of any right, power or remedy upon any Default shall be construed as a waiver of such Default or as a waiver of the right to exercise any such right, power or remedy (including the right to accelerate the maturity of the Loan or any part thereof) at a later date. No single or partial exercise by Lender of any right, power or remedy under any Loan Document shall exhaust the same or shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof, and every such right, power or remedy under any Loan Document may be exercised at any time and from time to time. No modification or waiver of any provision of any Loan Document nor consent to any departure by Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless in writing signed by Lender and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance, for the purpose for which given and to the extent therein specified. No notice to nor demand on Borrower or Indemnitor in any case shall of itself entitle Borrower or Indemnitor to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.
9.7 Disclaimer by Lender.
(a) This Agreement is made for the sole benefit of Borrower and Lender (and Lender’s successors and assigns and participants, if any), and no other person or persons shall have any benefits, rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement, or by reason of any actions taken by Lender pursuant to this Agreement. Lender shall not be liable for any debts or claims accruing in favor of any third parties against Borrower or others or against the Project. Borrower is not and shall not be an agent of Lender for any purposes. Except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, Lender is not and shall not be an agent of Borrower for any purposes. Lender, by making the Loan or taking any action pursuant to any of the Loan Documents, shall not be deemed a partner or a joint venturer with Borrower or fiduciary of Borrower.
(b) Any review, investigation or inspection conducted by Lender, any architectural or engineering consultants retained by Lender or any agent or representative of Lender in order to verify independently Borrower’s satisfaction of any conditions precedent to the disbursement of the Loan, Borrower’s performance of any of the covenants, agreements and obligations of Borrower under this Agreement, or the truth of any representations and warranties made by Borrower hereunder (regardless of whether or not the party conducting such review, investigation or inspection should have discovered that any of such conditions precedent were not satisfied or that any such covenants, agreements or obligations were not performed or that any such representations or warranties were not true), shall not affect (or constitute a waiver by Lender of) (i) any of Borrower’s representations and warranties under this Agreement or Lender’s reliance thereon, or (ii) Lender’s reliance upon any certifications required under this Agreement or any other facts, information or reports furnished Lender by Borrower hereunder.
26
(c) By accepting or approving anything required to be observed, performed, fulfilled or given to Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents, including any certificate, statement of profit and loss or other financial statement, survey, appraisal, lease or insurance policy, Lender shall not be deemed to have warranted or represented the sufficiency, legality, effectiveness or legal effect of the same, or of any term provision or condition thereof, and such acceptance or approval thereof shall not constitute a warranty or representation to anyone with respect thereto by Lender.
9.8 Right of Lender to Make Advances to Cure Borrower’s Defaults. If Borrower shall fail to perform in a timely fashion any of Borrower’s covenants, agreements or obligations contained in this Agreement or the Loan Documents, Lender may (but shall not be required to) perform any of such covenants, agreements and obligations. Any funds advanced by Lender in the exercise of its judgment that the same are needed to protect its security for the Loan are deemed to be obligatory advances hereunder and any amounts expended (whether by disbursement of undisbursed Loan proceeds or otherwise) by Lender in so doing, shall constitute additional indebtedness evidenced and secured by the Note, the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents, shall bear interest from the date expended at the Default Rate and be payable together with such interest upon demand.
9.9 Definitions Include Amendments. Definitions contained in this Agreement which identify documents, including the Loan Documents, shall be deemed to include all amendments and supplements to such documents from the date hereof, and all future amendments and supplements thereto entered into from time to time to satisfy the requirements of this Agreement or otherwise with the consent of the Lender. Reference to this Agreement contained in any of the foregoing documents shall be deemed to include all amendments and supplements to this Agreement.
9.10 Time Is of the Essence. Time is hereby declared to be of the essence of this Agreement and of every part hereof.
9.11 Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.
9.12 Waiver of Consequential Damages. In no event shall Lender be liable to Borrower for consequential damages, whatever the nature of a breach by Lender of its obligations under this Agreement, or any of the Loan Documents, and Borrower for itself and all Affiliated Parties hereby waives all claims for consequential damages.
9.13 Claims Against Lender. Lender shall not be in default under this Agreement, or under any other Loan Documents, unless a written notice specifically setting forth the claim of Borrower shall have been given to Lender within thirty (30) days after Borrower first had knowledge of, or reasonably should have had knowledge of, the occurrence of the event which Borrower alleges gave rise to such claim and Lender does not remedy or cure the default, if any there be, promptly thereafter. If it is determined in any proceedings that Lender has improperly failed to grant its consent or approval, where such consent or approval is required by this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, Borrower’s sole remedy shall be to obtain declaratory relief determining such withholding to have been improper, and for itself and all Affiliated Parties, Borrower hereby waives all claims for damages or set-off against Lender resulting from any withholding of consent or approval by Lender.
27
9.14 Jurisdiction and Venue. With respect to any suit, action or proceedings relating to this Agreement, the Project, or any of the other Loan Documents (“Proceedings”) each party irrevocably (i) submits to the non-exclusive personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in the county within the State where the Project is located, and (ii) waives any objection which it may have at any time to the laying of venue of any proceedings brought in any such court, waives any claim that such Proceedings have been brought in an inconvenient forum and further waives the right to object, with respect to such Proceedings, that such court does not have jurisdiction over such party. Nothing in this Agreement shall preclude either party from bringing Proceedings in any other jurisdiction nor will the bringing of Proceedings in any one or more jurisdictions preclude the bringing of Proceedings in any other jurisdiction.
9.15 Severability. The parties hereto intend and believe that each provision in this Agreement comports with all applicable local, state and federal Laws. However, if any provision or provisions, or if any portion of any provision or provisions, in this Agreement is found by a court of law to be in violation of any applicable Laws, and if such court declares such portion, provision, or provisions of this Agreement to be illegal, invalid, unlawful, void or unenforceable as written, then it is the intent of all parties hereto that such portion, provision, or provisions shall be given force to the fullest possible extent that they are legal, valid and enforceable, and that the remainder of this Agreement shall be construed as if such illegal, invalid, unlawful, void, or unenforceable portion, provision, or provisions were not contained herein, and that the rights, obligations, and interests of Borrower and Lender under the remainder of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.
9.16 Incorporation of Recitals. The Recitals set forth herein and the Exhibits attached hereto are incorporated herein and expressly made a part hereof.
9.17 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. BORROWER AND LENDER EACH HEREBY WAIVE (TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW) ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, RELATING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY TO THE LOAN, THE APPLICATION FOR THE LOAN, THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY ACTS OR OMISSIONS OF NOTEHOLDER, ITS OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, DIRECTORS OR AGENTS IN CONNECTION THEREWITH; AND AGREE THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE TRIED BEFORE A COURT AND NOT BEFORE A JURY.
9.18 Limitation of Liability. Subject to the provisions of this Section 9.18, the Lender agrees that it shall not seek to enforce any monetary judgment with respect to the indebtedness evidenced by the Note against Borrower except through recourse to the Project. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall be liable for and SHALL INDEMNIFY AND DEFEND THE INDEMNIFIED PARTIES AGAINST, AND HOLD THE INDEMNIFIED PARTIES HARMLESS FROM AND REIMBURSE THE INDEMNIFIED PARTIES FOR, ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, DEMANDS, JUDGMENTS, PENALTIES, LIABILITIES, ACTUAL COSTS, DAMAGES AND EXPENSES, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY INCURRED BY THE INDEMNIFIED PARTIES, INCLUDING COURT COSTS AND ATTORNEY FEES (PRIOR TO TRIAL, AT TRIAL AND ON APPEAL), DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY CAUSED BY, RESULTING FROM OR ARISING OUT OF ANY OF THE FOLLOWING ACTS OR OMISSIONS (COLLECTIVELY, THE “RECOURSE EVENTS”) committed, permitted or omitted by any of the Indemnitor, Borrower or any of their respective agents, employees and/or contractors: (i) waste to or of the Project or a failure to maintain the condition of the
28
Project in a first class manner to the extent of available funds from the Project; (ii) fraud or material misrepresentation by Borrower or Indemnitor; (iii) failure to pay (unless separately escrowed for under the Loan Documents) insurance premiums, taxes, assessments, ground rent or any other lienable impositions as required under the Loan Documents, failure to furnish sums toward restoration of the Project (in an amount equal to the deductible referenced in Exhibit E attached hereto and by this reference incorporated herein), or failure to apply insurance proceeds that are not deposited with Lender to the restoration of the Project; (iv) failure to pay all costs associated with and perform under the Option Agreement or misapplication of tenant escrows, security deposits, insurance proceeds or condemnation proceeds; (v) failure while in monetary default to pay to Lender all rents, income and profits of and from the Project, net of reasonable and customary operating expenses; (vi) breach of, or failure to perform the environmental warranties, representations, covenants or indemnifications described herein and in the Environmental Indemnity Agreement; (vii) destruction or removal of fixtures or personal property securing the Loan from the Project, unless replaced by items of at least equal value; (viii) terminating, settling, amending or entering into a lease of the Project in violation of the Loan Documents; (ix) failure of the Project to comply with any Building Laws after any Governmental Authority has notified Borrower, its agents, employees and/or contractors of such non-compliance; (x) breaches of representations or covenants contained in the Loan Documents relating to compliance with the Executive Order or the Patriot Act; (xi) failure to pay to Lender any rent, income or profits of and from the Project which have been prepaid more than thirty (30) days in advance; (xii) willful or grossly negligent violation of applicable Laws; (xiii) failure to pay all amounts payable under the Note in full, together with reasonable attorney fees, if Borrower transfers or encumbers the Project in contravention of the Loan Documents, or if Borrower files a voluntary petition under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code prior to the two-year anniversary of the transfer of title to the Project to Lender by a Foreclosure Conveyance; and (xiv) assignment of the Lease by Lessee without Lender’s consent as required in Section 3.28 (a) hereof or any assignment of the Lease by Lessee as described in 3.28 (b) hereof.
Nothing contained herein shall be construed to prevent Lender from exercising any remedy allowed by Law or by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document which does not result in an obligation by Borrower or, if Borrower is a general partnership, any of its general partners, to pay money with respect to the Note.
9.19 Payment of Interest. With respect to any disbursement of the Loan by Lender, the obligation of Borrower to pay interest to Lender under the Note shall begin at the time that Lender initiates its wire transfer of Loan proceeds.
9.20 Authorization to Slipsheet. Borrower’s legal counsel is authorized and directed to authorize Lender or its legal counsel to do any or all of the following: (i) to insert the effective date of the Loan Documents into each such document, (ii) to attach exhibits to the Loan Documents or other documents furnished by Borrower to Lender or Lender’s legal counsel in connection with the Loan, (iii) to substitute pages to the Loan Documents (as approved by Borrower’s legal counsel), and (iv) insert executed signature pages into the final Loan Documents. Except with respect to clause (iii) above, Borrower’s further consent shall not be required with respect to any matter set forth in this Section 9.20.
10. SPECIAL PROVISIONS. In the event of any inconsistencies between the terms and conditions of Exhibit B and the other provisions of this Agreement, the terms and conditions of the Exhibit B shall control and be binding.

Lender conditionally waives the provisions of this Agreement, which require the monthly deposit in escrow of funds for insurance premiums as described in the Loan Documents; provided, however, Lender reserves the right, at its sole election, to again invoke the provisions of the Loan Documents relating to the escrow of insurance premiums at any time during the term of the loan and to enforce the payment of such escrow upon giving the Borrower at least thirty (30) days advance written notice in the event of the following:
(a) Borrower’s failure to pay any such insurance premiums when due;
(b) An Event of Default occurring under the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document;
(c) Monthly installment payment of principal and/or interest payable with respect to the Loan have not been paid when due three (3) or more times in a twelve-month period;
(d) Borrower’s failure to provide evidence to Lender of the payment of insurance premiums within thirty (30) days after the date such payment is due;
(e) If the required insurance coverage outlined in Section 3.3 of this Agreement lapses or should not be in place at any time; or
(f) Except for the indirect transfers of interests in the Borrower resulting from the sale, conveyance, transfer or assignment of any publicly or privately traded shares of Indemnitor, the sale, conveyance, transfer or other vesting of any direct or indirect interest in Borrower with or without Lender’s consent.
This waiver of reserves is personal to Borrower (and to any transferee or successor for which there is no prohibition nor Lender consent requirement as set forth in Section 6.2 of this Agreement) and is not assignable nor transferable.
(3) Access to Leased Premises and Right to Cure Defaults Under Reciprocal Easement Agreement. In the event of a material default by Borrower under any Reciprocal Easement Agreement, to which Borrower is a party or the Project is subject to, Borrower agrees that Lender shall have the right (but not the obligation), to cure or cause the cure of such default and, in the event the cure of such default by its nature requires that Lender enter upon the Project, Borrower hereby agrees that Lender may, and Borrower hereby grants Lender the right to, enter upon the Project for the purpose of curing such default; provided, however, Lender shall not be entitled to exercise its rights under this Section if Borrower has
commenced and is diligently pursuing cure of such default until the expiration of applicable grace periods under such agreements, so long as Lender shall be afforded an independent cure right and grace period under such agreements. Any costs incurred by Lender in curing such default shall constitute additional indebtedness evidenced by the Note and secured by the Security Instrument and other Loan Documents, and shall bear interest from the date of demand therefor at the Default Rate and be payable together with such interest upon demand.
(4) Leasing Activities. AFTER APPROVAL BY LENDER IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS HEREOF (IT BEING UNDERSTOOD AND AGREED THAT ANY DOCUMENTS HEREINAFTER DESCRIBED THAT REQUIRE LENDER’S APPROVAL IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT MUST BE REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO LENDER IN FORM AND SUBSTANCE) AS PROVIDED HEREIN, COPIES OF ALL LEASES, NEW LEASES, LEASE AMENDMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS, LEASE EXTENSIONS, LEASE ASSIGNMENTS AND RENEWALS MUST BE FORWARDED TO LENDER IMMEDIATELY UPON EXECUTION THROUGHOUT THE TERM OF THE LOAN.
