(d)Repayment of Advances. Borrowers shall pay to Lender the Repayment Amount for each Advance on the applicable Repayment Date. Borrowers shall pay to Lender the Aggregate Repayment Amount and all other Secured Obligations then due and owing on the Facility Termination Date.

Borrowers shall pay all out-of-pocket costs, taxes and expenses associated with the release of the Liens of the Mortgage Documents, including Lender’s reasonable attorneys’ fees.

(e)Optional Repayment.

(i)    Borrowers may repay Advances (or a portion thereof) at any time prior to the Facility Termination Date (an “Optional Repayment”), without premium or penalty but subject to the payment of breakage fees and the Exit Fee, as applicable, and the limitations set forth in this Section 3(e), as further described herein. In connection with any such Optional Repayment, the applicable Borrower shall deliver a written notice of such Optional Repayment to Lender at least two (2) days prior to the date of such requested repayment identifying the Advance to be repaid and the amount of such repayment, and, if the release of the related Financed Rental Property is requested by such Borrower, shall pay to Lender the applicable Repayment Amount or, if a partial repayment is being made, the amount of such prepayment, on such Optional Repayment date; provided that if such Optional Repayment date is not a Payment Date, Borrowers shall also pay to Lender any amount due under Section 3(h); provided further, that if, in connection with such Optional Repayment, the Rental Properties that are the subject of such Optional Repayment are subsequently pledged by Borrowers or an Affiliate thereof to a financial institution (other than Lender) or otherwise

33



subject to another credit, warehouse or other financing facility that is similar to the facility provided for hereunder, Borrowers shall also remit to Lender in immediately available funds the applicable Exit Fee. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary herein, no Optional Repayment is permitted hereunder without Lender’s prior written consent (which consent may be given or withheld in Lender’s discretion) if an Event of Default under Section 14(n) hereof shall exist at that time, or will result from such Optional Repayment.

(ii)    Borrowers may effect an Optional Repayment in connection with a sale or transfer of one or more Financed Rental Properties to another Person (including an Affiliate of Borrower) at any time for net Sale Proceeds of at least equal to the Minimum Release Amount of such Financed Rental Properties; provided that individual Financed Rental Properties may be sold or transferred by Borrowers for an amount less than the applicable Minimum Release Amount (the “Minimum Release Amount Shortfall”), so long as (i) no Default or Event of Default shall then exist, (ii) Borrowers shall have given Lender at least three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice thereof designating the applicable Rental Properties specifying the net Sale Proceeds expected from such sale or transfer, (iii) Lender shall have consented to such sale or transfer; and (iv) the sale or transfer shall not result in a breach of either the Stabilized LTV or Non-Stabilized LTV. Borrowers shall cause the aggregate net Sale Proceeds resulting from any such sale or transfer to be remitted directly to the Waterfall Account. With respect to a sale of Financed Rental Properties for net Sale Proceeds that are less than the applicable Minimum Release Amount, the difference between (x) such Minimum Release Amount and (y) such net Sale Proceeds deposited in the Waterfall Account shall be added to the Aggregate Advance Amount, on a pro-rata basis and as determined by Lender in its discretion.

(f)Mandatory Repayment.  At any time a Financed Rental Property Issue exists with respect to any Financed Rental Property, then the Market Value thereof shall automatically be reduced to zero and Lender may, at its option, by notice to Borrowers (as such notice is more particularly set forth below, a “Repayment Notice”) require Borrowers to repay a portion of the Aggregate Advance Amount in an amount equal to the Repayment Amount with respect to such Financed Rental Property (a “Mandatory Repayment”). The related Repayment Amount shall be paid to Lender no later than 5:00 p.m. on the second (2nd) Business Day following delivery of such Repayment Notice. Borrowers shall be required to notify Lender as soon as is practicable after obtaining knowledge of any fact that could be the basis for any Financed Rental Property Issue, but, in any case, not more than two (2) Business Days after obtaining knowledge thereof. Lender’s election, in its sole and absolute discretion, not to send a Repayment Notice at any time that a Financed Rental Property is subject to a Financed Rental Property Issue shall not in any way limit or impair its right to send a Repayment Notice at a later time so long as such Financed Rental Property Issue is then continuing. Lender’s rights under this Section 3(f) are in addition to and not in lieu of any other rights of Lender under the Facility Documents or applicable law. Any cash transferred to Lender pursuant to this Section 3(f) shall be credited to the Advance Amount of the related Advances.

(g)Release. In the event of any Optional Repayment or Mandatory Repayment with respect to a Financed Rental Property, upon receipt of the applicable Repayment Amount and

34



other amounts due in connection therewith, as provided in Section 3(e) or Section 3(f), as applicable, such Rental Property from the applicable Mortgage Documents and related Lien (a “Released Property”) shall be automatically released by Lender without any further action of the applicable Borrower, provided, that (i) the applicable Borrower may deliver to Lender a release (and, in the event the related Mortgage and the Assignment of Leases and Rents encumbers other Financed Rental Properties in addition to the Released Property, such release shall be a partial release that relates only to the Released Property and does not affect the Liens and security interests encumbering or on the other Financed Rental Properties) in form and substance appropriate for the jurisdiction in which such Released Property is located and shall contain standard provisions protecting the rights of Lender, which release shall be promptly executed by Lender, (ii) Borrowers shall pay all costs, taxes and expenses associated with such release (including cost to file and record the release and Lender’s reasonable attorneys’ fees) and (iii) such Released Property is a separate legal parcel from the property remaining encumbered by Mortgages.

(h)LIBOR Rate Breakage Costs. Without limiting, and in addition to, the provisions of Section 16 hereof, Borrowers agree that if any Repayment Amount is paid other than in connection with an ordinary course liquidation of a Rental Property and such Repayment Amount is paid on a date other than on a Payment Date, Borrowers shall, upon demand by Lender, pay to Lender any such amounts as are reasonable to compensate Lender for any additional losses (not including lost profits), costs or expenses which Lender may incur as a result of such payments, including any hedge breakage costs.

(i)Incremental Advances. From time to time, Borrowers may request Advances with respect to Financed Rental Properties that were Non-Stabilized Rental Properties but that have subsequently converted to Eligible Stabilized Rental Properties (each, a “Converted Rental Property”) by delivering to Lender, within ten (10) Business Days after the end of each Collection Period, an Asset Schedule and an Advance Request with respect to the Financed Rental Properties that have become Converted Rental Properties during such Collection Period. Subject to the satisfaction of all of the conditions set forth in Section 3(b), Lender may, with respect to the Uncommitted Amount, and shall, with respect to the Committed Amount, on the requested Incremental Advance Date, make an additional Advance to the applicable Borrower with respect to each such Converted Rental Property in an amount equal to the applicable Advance Amount (each, an “Incremental Advance”); provided that, no such Incremental Advance shall be made until the aggregate amount of all such Incremental Advances to be made on such Incremental Advance Date is at least $2,000,000. For the avoidance of doubt, from and after the related Incremental Advance Date, the Advance Rate in respect of such Converted Rental Properties shall be the Advance Rate applicable to Stabilized Rental Properties.

(j)Change in Commitment. At any time and from time to time, Borrowers may request that Lender consent to an increase of the Committed Amount, which consent may be given or withheld by Lender in its sole discretion; provided that in no event shall the Committed Amount exceed the Maximum Aggregate Advance Amount. At any time and from time to time, Borrowers may, but not more than twice during the term of this Agreement, upon at least three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice to Lender, terminate in whole or reduce ratably in part the unused portions of the Committed Amount; provided that the Committed Amount shall in no event be reduced below

35



the Aggregate Advance Amount outstanding at the time of such reduction. Borrowers may request that Lender increase the Commitment Amount following any such decrease, which request may be granted or denied by Lender in its sole discretion.

Section 4.Payment of Accrued Interest.

(a)Interest on the Aggregate Advances shall accrue at the applicable Interest Rate. Interest shall accrue on a 360-day per year basis (as applicable) for the actual number of days elapsed during the relevant period, reduced by the amount of interest in respect of such period previously paid by Borrowers to Lender with respect to such Advance. Interest on the Aggregate Advances shall be payable in arrears monthly on the Payment Date in respect of the previous Collection Period and on the Facility Termination Date.

(b)On each Payment Date, Borrowers shall pay to Lender interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Advance in an amount equal to the accreted value of the Accrued Interest (less any amount of Accrued Interest previously paid by Borrowers to Lender) as provided for and in accordance with Article 5.

(c)Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrowers shall pay to Lender interest at the applicable Post-Default Rate on any principal of any Advance and on any other amounts payable by Borrowers hereunder or under the Note, that shall not be paid in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or by mandatory prepayment or otherwise), for the period from and including the due date thereof to but excluding the date the same is paid in full.

Section 5.Income Payments.
  
(a)Collection and Retention of Income. Borrowers shall, and shall cause the applicable Pledgor to hold for the benefit of and in trust for Lender all Income (including all Rental Proceeds, Security Deposits and taxes and insurance escrow amounts), including all Income received by or on behalf of any Borrower Party with respect to the Financed Rental Properties. Borrowers shall cause the applicable Pledgor to (i) promptly upon receipt, deposit all such Income received on account of the Rental Property directly into the applicable Borrower Operating Account, and (ii) on each Remittance Date withdraw all such Income (excluding Security Deposits and taxes and insurance escrow amounts) from the applicable Borrower Operating Account and remit such Income to the Waterfall Account. To the extent that a Borrower Party (other than the applicable Pledgor) is holding any Income, such Borrower Party shall deposit such Income promptly upon receipt thereof into the Waterfall Account. All Income shall be held in trust for Lender at all times and shall not be commingled with other property of any Borrower Parties or any Affiliate thereof. Funds deposited in the Waterfall Account during any Collection Period shall be held therein, in trust for Lender, until the related Payment Date.

(b)Payments from Waterfall Account. Subject to the terms of the Account Control Agreement, Lender shall cause the Facility Bank to apply funds on deposit in the Waterfall Account on each Payment Date prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default as follows.

36




(i)first, to Facility Bank, Custodian, and Property Manager on account of any accrued and unpaid fees and permitted expenses incurred under the Facility Documents;
(ii)second, to Lender an amount equal to the Accrued Interest which has accrued and is outstanding as of the Payment Date;

(iii)third, to deposit any amounts necessary to maintain the Interest Reserve Amount in the Interest Reserve Account;

(iv)fourth, to Lender on account of unpaid fees (including any Exit Fee, Facility Fee and Unused Fee), expenses, LIBOR Rate breakage costs, and indemnity amounts and any other amounts due to Lender from any Borrower Party under the Facility Documents;

(v)fifth, to Lender in an amount equal to any unpaid Repayment Amounts then due and owing to Lender under Section 3(e) or 3(f) hereof (without duplication of payments made under clause third above); and

(vi)sixth, all remaining amounts (if any), to the Borrowers, including, in the event that Borrowers have permanently reduced the Maximum Aggregate Advance Amount, an amount equal to the excess of amounts on deposit in the Interest Reserve Account over the Interest Reserve Amount (calculated with respect to the reduced Maximum Aggregate Advance Amount).

(c)Receipt by Lender. To the extent that Lender receives any funds from the sale, transfer or other disposition of a Rental Property, Lender shall apply such funds in accordance with the same order of priority set forth in Section 5(b) hereof.

(d)Post-Event of Default. Notwithstanding the preceding provisions, if an Event of Default exists, Borrowers shall have no further rights to access any funds on deposit in Borrower Operating Account, and Lender shall have the right to withdraw all funds on deposit in Borrower Operating Account and Waterfall Account and apply such funds as determined by Lender in its sole discretion until all Secured Obligations are paid in full, and any remainder shall be paid to Borrower.

(e)Withdrawals From Interest Reserve Account. If on any Payment Date, the amounts then on deposit in the Waterfall Account are insufficient to satisfy clauses first and second of Section 5(b) above, Lender may withdraw from the Interest Reserve Account an amount of funds necessary to cure such deficiency.

Section 6.Requirements Of Law.
  
(a)If any Requirement of Law or any change in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof:

37




(i)shall subject Lender to any Tax or increased Tax of any kind (other than (1) Taxes described in clauses (a) through (c) of the definition of Non-Excluded Taxes, (2) Excluded Taxes, (3) Non-Excluded Taxes, which shall be governed by Section 7 hereof, (4) Taxes attributable to Lender’s failure to comply with Section 7(e), and (5) Other Taxes) whatsoever with respect to this Agreement or any Advance or change the basis of taxation of payments to Lender in respect thereof;

(ii)shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of Lender which is not otherwise included in the determination of the LIBOR Rate hereunder; or

(iii)shall impose on Lender any other condition;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Lender, by an amount which Lender reasonably deems to be material, of making, continuing or maintaining any Advance or to reduce any amount due or owing hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, Borrowers shall promptly pay Lender such additional amount or amounts as calculated by Lender in good faith as will compensate Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable.
(b)If Lender shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by Lender or any corporation controlling Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on Lender’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration Lender’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount reasonably deemed by Lender to be material, then from time to time, Borrowers shall promptly pay to Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Lender for such reduction.

(c)If Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall promptly notify Borrowers of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled. A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted by Lender to Borrowers shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

Section 7.Taxes.


38



(a)Any and all payments by the Borrowers under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Facility Documents to which any Borrower is a party shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities (including penalties, interest and additions to tax) with respect thereto, whether now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any taxation authority or other Governmental Authority (collectively, “Taxes”), unless required by law. If Borrower shall be required under any applicable Requirement of Law to deduct or withhold any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under or in respect of this Agreement or any of the other Facility Documents to Lender, (i) Borrowers shall make all such deductions and withholdings in respect of Taxes, (ii) Borrowers shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld in respect of Taxes to the relevant taxation authority or other Governmental Authority in accordance with any applicable Requirement of Law, and (iii) the sum payable by Borrowers shall be increased as may be necessary so that after Borrowers have made all required deductions and withholdings (including deductions and withholdings applicable to additional amounts payable under this Section 7) Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made in respect of Non-Excluded Taxes. For purposes of this Agreement the term “Non-Excluded Taxes” are Taxes imposed on or with respect to any payment made by or on account of any obligation of any Borrower under this Agreement, other than, in the case of Lender, (a) any branch profits Taxes and any Taxes that are imposed on its overall net income (and franchise taxes imposed in lieu thereof) (i) as a result of the Lender being organized under the laws of the jurisdiction imposing such tax (or any political subdivision thereof) or having its applicable lending office located in the jurisdiction imposing such tax (or any political subdivision thereof), or (ii) as a result of a present or former connection between Lender and the jurisdiction imposing such Tax, unless such Taxes are imposed as a result of Lender having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received payments under, received or perfected security interest under, sold or assigned any interest in, or enforced, this Agreement or any of the other Facility Documents (in which case such Taxes will be treated as Non-Excluded Taxes), (b) in the case of a Lender, U.S. federal withholding Taxes imposed on amounts payable to or for the account of Lender with respect to an applicable interest herein pursuant to a law in effect on the day on which Lender acquires such interest herein (other than with respect to an assignment requested by a Borrower) or on which Lender changes its lending office, except, in each respective case, to the extent such Taxes were payable either to Lender’s assignor immediately before Lender acquired such interest or to Lender immediately before Lender changed its lending office, and (c) any U.S. federal withholding Taxes imposed under FATCA.

(b)In addition, each Borrower hereby agrees to pay any present or future stamp, recording, documentary, excise, property or value-added taxes, or similar taxes, charges or levies that arise from any payment made under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Facility Document or from the execution, delivery or registration of, any performance under, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any other Facility Document, including the pledge of the Collateral hereunder (including the Financed Rental Properties) except any such Taxes that are imposed as a result of a present or former connection between Lender or such other recipient and the jurisdiction of the Governmental Authority imposing such Tax or any political subdivision or Taxing authority with respect to an assignment (other than with respect to an assignment requested by a Borrower) (collectively, “Other Taxes”).

39




(c)Each Borrower hereby agrees to jointly and severally indemnify Lender for, and to hold it harmless against, the full amount of Non-Excluded Taxes payable or paid by the Lender or required to be deducted or withheld from a payment to Lender and Other Taxes, and the full amount of Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes imposed on amounts payable by Borrowers under this Section 7 imposed on or paid by Lender and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto. The indemnity by Borrowers provided for in this Section 7(c) shall apply and be made whether or not the Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes for which indemnification hereunder is sought have been correctly or legally imposed or asserted. Amounts payable by Borrowers under the indemnity set forth in this Section 7(c) shall be paid within ten (10) days from the date on which Lender makes written demand therefor. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to a Borrower by Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d)Within thirty (30) days after the date of any payment of Taxes, Borrowers (or any Person making such payment on behalf of Borrowers) shall furnish to Lender for its own account a certified copy of the original official receipt evidencing payment thereof.

(e)For purposes of subsection (e) of this Section 7, the terms “United States” and “United States person” shall have the meanings specified in Section 7701 of the Code. Each Lender (including for avoidance of doubt any assignee or successor) that, on or prior to the Closing Date (and from time to time thereafter, upon the reasonable request of any Borrower or upon expiration or obsolescence of any previously delivered documentation), is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the applicable Borrower is resident for tax purposes, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, then, with respect to payments hereunder, Lender shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the applicable Borrower such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable Law as will permit payments hereunder to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, Lender (including for the avoidance of doubt, any assignee or successor), if requested by any Borrower, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by Borrower as will enable such Borrower to determine whether or not Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than the documentation set forth in Section 7(e)(i) through (viii) below) shall not be required if in Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense or would prejudice the legal or commercial position of Lender. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any Lender (including for the avoidance of doubt, any assignee or successor) that is a United States person shall deliver to the Borrowers executed copies of U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or any successor form thereto) certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax. Further, in the event that a Lender (including for avoidance of doubt any assignee or successor) either (i) is not incorporated under the laws of the United States, any State thereof, or the District of Columbia or (ii) whose name does not include “Incorporated,” “Inc.,” “Corporation,” “Corp.,” “P.C.,” “N.A.,” “National Association,” “insurance company,” or “assurance company” (a “Non-Exempt Lender”), then such Lender, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Borrowers the following properly completed and duly executed documents:

40




(i)in the case of a Non-Exempt Lender that is not a United States person, a complete and executed (x) U.S. Internal Revenue Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E claiming the benefits of a tax treaty with the United States providing for a zero or reduced rate of withholding (or any successor forms thereto), including all appropriate attachments or (y) a U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI (or any successor forms thereto); or

(ii)in the case of an individual, (x) a complete and executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or any successor forms thereto) and a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F (a “Section 7 Certificate”) or (y) a complete and executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or any successor forms thereto); or

(iii)in the case of a Non-Exempt Lender that is organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof, or the District of Columbia, a complete and executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or any successor forms thereto), including all appropriate attachments; or

(iv)in the case of a Non-Exempt Lender that (x) is not organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof, or the District of Columbia and (y) is treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, a complete and executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN-E (or any successor forms thereto) and a Section 7 Certificate; or

(v)in the case of a Non-Exempt Lender that (A) is treated as a partnership or other non-corporate entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and (B) is not organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof, or the District of Columbia, (x)(i) a complete and executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (or any successor forms thereto) (including all required documents and attachments) and (ii) a Section 7 Certificate, and (y) without duplication, with respect to each of its beneficial owners and the beneficial owners of such beneficial owners looking through chains of owners to individuals or entities that are treated as corporations for U.S. federal income tax purposes (all such owners, “beneficial owners”), the documents that would be provided by each such beneficial owner pursuant to this Section if such beneficial owner were Lender; provided, however, that no such documents will be required with respect to a beneficial owner to the extent the actual Lender is determined to be in compliance with the requirements for certification on behalf of its beneficial owner as may be provided in applicable U.S. Treasury regulations, or the requirements of this clause (v) are otherwise determined to be unnecessary, all such determinations under this clause (v) to be made in the sole discretion of Borrowers; provided, however, that Lender shall be provided an opportunity to establish such compliance as reasonable; or

(vi)in the case of a Non-Exempt Lender that is disregarded for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the document that would be provided by its beneficial owner pursuant to this Section if such beneficial owner were Lender; or


41



(vii)in the case of a Non-Exempt Lender that (A) is not a United States person and (B) is acting in the capacity as an “intermediary” (as defined in U.S. Treasury Regulations), (x)(i) a U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (or any successor form thereto) (including all required documents and attachments) and (ii) a Section 7 Certificate, and (y) if the intermediary is a “non-qualified intermediary” (as defined in U.S. Treasury Regulations), from each person upon whose behalf the “non-qualified intermediary” is acting the documents that would be provided by each such person pursuant to this Section if each such person were Lender; or

(viii)in the case of a Lender, payments to whom under this agreement would be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), Lender shall deliver to Seller at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Seller such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by Seller as may be necessary for Seller to comply with its obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 7(e)(viii), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement, and “Lender” shall include any participant.

Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify Borrowers in writing of its legal inability to do so.

If Lender has provided a form pursuant to clause (e) above and the form provided by Lender either at the time Lender first becomes a party to this Agreement or, with respect to a grant of a participation, at the effective date of such participation, indicates a United States interest withholding tax rate in excess of zero, withholding tax at such rate shall be treated as Taxes other than “Non-Excluded Taxes” (such Taxes, “Excluded Taxes”) and shall not qualify as Non-Excluded Taxes unless and until Lender provides the appropriate form certifying that a lesser rate applies, whereupon withholding tax at such lesser rate shall be considered Excluded Taxes solely for the periods governed by such form. If, however, on the date (after the Effective Date) a Person becomes an assignee, successor or participant to this Agreement, Lender transferor was entitled to indemnification or additional amounts under this Section 7, then Lender assignee, successor or participant shall be entitled to indemnification or additional amounts to the extent (and only to the extent), that Lender transferor was entitled to such indemnification or additional amounts for Non-Excluded Taxes, and Lender assignee, successor or participant shall be entitled to additional indemnification or additional amounts for any other or additional Non-Excluded Taxes.

(f)For any period with respect to which Lender has failed to provide Borrowers with the appropriate form, certificate or other document described in subsection (e) of this Section 7 (other than if such failure is due to a change in any applicable Requirement of Law, or in the interpretation or application thereof, occurring after the date on which a form, certificate or other document originally was required to be provided by Lender), Lender shall not be entitled to

42



indemnification or additional amounts under subsection (a) or (c) of this Section 7 with respect to Non-Excluded Taxes by reason of such failure; provided, however, that should a Lender that is otherwise exempt from a withholding tax become subject to Non-Excluded Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form, certificate or other document required hereunder, Borrowers shall take such steps as Lender shall reasonably, and in good faith, request, and at Lender’s sole expense, to assist Lender in recovering such Non-Excluded Taxes.

(g)Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of Borrowers hereunder, the agreements and obligations of Borrowers contained in this Section 7 shall survive the termination of this Agreement. Nothing contained in this Section 7 shall require Lender to make available any of its tax returns or any other information that it deems to be confidential or proprietary.

(h)Each party to this Agreement acknowledges that it is its intent for purposes of U.S. federal, and relevant state and local income and franchise taxes, to treat each Advance as indebtedness of Borrowers that is secured by the Financed Rental Properties and the Financed Rental Properties as owned by Borrowers for federal income tax purposes in the absence of a Default by Borrowers. All parties to this Agreement agree to such treatment and agree to take no action inconsistent with this treatment, unless required by law.

(i)So long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, if Lender (including for avoidance of doubt any assignee or successor) determines in its sole discretion acting in good faith that it has received a refund in respect of any Taxes that have been paid or indemnified by any Borrower under this Section 7 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to Section 7) and that such refund, is allocable to such payment or indemnification, it shall pay the amount of such refund to Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 7 with respect to Taxes giving rise to such refund) net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, however, that Borrower, upon the request of Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant taxing authority or other Governmental Authority) to Lender in the event Lender is required to repay such refund to such taxing authority or other Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this clause (i), in no event will Lender be required to pay any amount to Borrower pursuant to this clause (i) the payment of which would place Lender in a less favorable net after-Tax position than Lender would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. Nothing in this Section shall require Lender to make available to the Borrowers or any other Person any tax returns or other information Lender deems to be confidential or proprietary

Section 8.Security Interest; Lender’s Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact.

(a)Security Interest and Collateral Assignment.


43



(i)On the Advance Date, each Borrower, to the extent of its rights therein, hereby pledges on the date hereof to Lender as security for the performance of the Secured Obligations and hereby grants, assigns and pledges to Lender a first priority security interest in each Borrower’s rights, title and interest in, to and under all of its assets, including the following, which shall hereinafter be collectively referred to as “Collateral”:

(A)each Rental Property owned by such Borrower;

(B)all related Property Files, including all Records, and any other collateral pledged or otherwise relating to the Rental Properties, together with all files, material documents, instruments, surveys (if available), certificates, correspondence, appraisals, computer records, computer storage media, accounting records and other books and records relating thereto;

(C)all rights of such Borrower and Property Manager (to the extent of such Borrower’s rights therein) to receive from any third party or to take delivery of any Records or other documents which constitute part of the Property Files;

(D)all related Property Management Rights (to the extent of such Borrower’s rights therein);

(E)all insurance policies and proceeds thereof relating to each such Rental Property including any payments or proceeds under any related primary insurance or hazard insurance, and all rights of such Borrower or Property Manager (to the extent of such Borrower’s rights therein) to receive from any third party or to take delivery of any of the foregoing;

(F)the Waterfall Account, the Interest Reserve Account, all Income relating to such Rental Properties, and all proceeds received by any Borrower Party upon the sale or other disposition of such Rental Properties;

(G)such Borrower’s rights under all Assigned Documents and all rights to receive documentation relating thereto;

(H)any Property relating to such Rental Property and any other contract rights and all rights to receive documentation relating thereto,

(I)all accounts (including any interest of any Borrower in escrow accounts) and any other payments, rights to payment (including payments of interest or finance charges) and general intangibles to the extent that the foregoing relates to any Rental Property and any other assets relating to the Rental Property (including any other accounts) or any interest in the Rental Properties, as are specified on Confirmation and/or a Trust Receipt and Asset Detail and Exception Report;


44



(J)all other “accounts,” “chattel paper,” “commercial tort claims,” “deposit accounts,” “documents,” “equipment,” “general intangibles,” “goods,” “instruments,” “inventory,” “investment property,” “letter of credit rights,” and “securities’ accounts” as each of those terms is defined in the UCC and all cash and cash equivalents and all products and proceeds relating to or constituting any or all of the foregoing; and

(K)any and all replacements, substitutions, distributions on or proceeds of any or all of the foregoing,

in each case, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, now existing or hereafter created and wherever located, to secure the repayment of principal of and interest on all Advances and all other amounts owing to Lender hereunder, under the Note and under the other Facility Documents.

(ii)In furtherance of the foregoing, each Borrower hereby collaterally assigns to Lender all of such Borrower’s right, title to and interest in, to and under (but not any obligations under) any Purchase Agreements, the Property Management Agreement, the Asset Management Agreement, all Lease Agreements relating to the Financed Rental Properties, all other related agreements, contracts, takeout commitments, documents and instruments evidencing or guarantying any Collateral and all other agreements, documents and instruments related to or constituting any of the foregoing (the “Assigned Documents”). Borrowers confirm and agree that (x) prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Borrower shall enforce its respective rights and remedies under each Assigned Document, and (y) during the continuation of an Event of Default, Lender (or its designee) shall have the right to enforce Borrowers’ rights and remedies under each Assigned Document, but without any obligation on the part of Lender or its designee to perform any of the obligations of Borrowers under any such Assigned Document.

(iii)Each Borrower hereby authorizes Lender to file such financing statement or statements relating to the Collateral and record or file such Mortgage Documents as Lender, at its option, may deem reasonable and appropriate (other than with respect to Eligible Non-Mortgaged Rental Properties). Borrowers shall pay the filing and recording costs for any financing statement or statements and Mortgage Documents prepared pursuant to this Section 8. For the avoidance of doubt, it is hereby acknowledged that Lender may cause the Mortgage Documents to be recorded in its name, or the name of its designee, as it shall determine in its sole discretion.

(b)Acquisition of Rental Property. Each Borrower shall cause all Rental Properties acquired by it to be taken by Deed, or by means of such instruments as are provided by the Governmental Authority governing the transfer, in each case, in the name of Borrower and in accordance with the terms of the related SPE Agreement.

(c)Lender’s Appointment as Attorney in Fact. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Lender and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of

45



substitution, as its true and lawful attorney‑in‑fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of such Borrower, as applicable, and in the name of such Borrower, as applicable, or in its own name, from time to time in Lender’s discretion, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement and to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be reasonably necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, in each case, subject to the terms of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrowers hereby give Lender the power and right, on behalf of such Borrower Party, as applicable, without assent by, but with notice to, such Borrower, as applicable, if an Event of Default shall have occurred, to do the following:

(i)in the name of such Borrower, as applicable, or in its own name, or otherwise, to take possession of and endorse and collect any checks, drafts, notes, acceptances or other instruments for the payment of moneys due with respect to any other Collateral and to file any claim or to take any other action or proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by Lender for the purpose of collecting any and all such moneys due with respect to any other Collateral whenever payable;

(ii)to pay or discharge taxes and Liens levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral; and

(iii)(A) to direct any party liable for any payment under any Collateral to make payment of any and all moneys due or to become due thereunder directly to Lender or as Lender shall direct, including any payment agent with respect to any Collateral; (B) to ask or demand for, collect, receive payment of and receipt for, any and all moneys, claims and other amounts due or to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any Collateral; (C) to sign and endorse any invoices, assignments, verifications, notices and other documents in connection with any Collateral; (D) to commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Collateral or any proceeds thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any Collateral; (E) to defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against Borrowers with respect to any Collateral; (F) to settle, compromise or adjust any suit, action or proceeding described in clause (E) above and, in connection therewith, to give such discharges or releases as Lender may deem appropriate; and (G) generally, to sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any Collateral as fully and completely as though Lender were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and to do, at Lender’s option and Borrowers’ expense, at any time, and from time to time, all acts and things which Lender deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and Lender’s Liens thereon and to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as Borrowers might do.

Each Borrower hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable. In addition to the foregoing, each Borrower agrees to execute a Power of Attorney, in the form of Exhibit J hereto, to be delivered on the date hereof. Each Borrower and Lender

46



acknowledges that the Powers of Attorney shall terminate on the Facility Termination Date and satisfaction in full of the Secured Obligations.

Each Borrower also authorizes Lender, if an Event of Default shall have occurred, from time to time, to execute, in connection with any sale provided for in Section 15 hereof, any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Collateral.

The powers conferred on Lender hereunder are solely to protect Lender’s interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Lender shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither it nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to Borrowers for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for its or their own fraud, bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Section 9.Payment, Transfer And Custody.

(a)Payments and Transfers of Funds.

(b)Borrowers acknowledge and agree that (A) in the absence of a generally recognized source for prices or bid or offer quotations for any Financed Rental Properties and Collateral, Lender may establish the source therefor in its sole discretion and (B) all prices, bids and offers shall be determined together with accrued Income. Borrowers recognize that it may not be possible to purchase or sell all of the Financed Rental Properties and Collateral on a particular Business Day, or in a transaction with the same purchaser, or in the same manner because the market for such Financed Rental Properties and Collateral may not be liquid at such time. In view of the nature of the Financed Rental Properties and Collateral, Borrowers agree that liquidation of the Financed Rental Properties and Collateral does not require a public purchase or sale and that a good faith private purchase or sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. Accordingly, Lender may elect, in its sole discretion, the time and manner of liquidating any Financed Rental Properties and Collateral, and nothing contained herein shall (A) obligate Lender to liquidate any Financed Rental Properties and Collateral on the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default or to liquidate all of the Financed Rental Properties and Collateral in the same manner or on the same Business Day or (B) constitute a waiver of any right or remedy of Lender. Lender may exercise one or more of the remedies available hereunder immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and at any time thereafter without notice to any Borrower. All rights and remedies arising under this Agreement as amended from time to time hereunder are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights or remedies which Lender may have.

(c)Lender may enforce its rights and remedies hereunder without prior judicial process or hearing, and each Borrower hereby expressly waives any defenses such Borrower might otherwise have to require Lender to enforce its rights by judicial process. Each Borrower also waives any defense (other than a defense of payment or performance) such Borrower might otherwise have arising from the use of nonjudicial process, enforcement and sale of all or any portion of the Collateral, or from any other election of remedies. Each Borrower recognizes that nonjudicial remedies are consistent with the usages of the trade, are responsive to commercial necessity and are the result of a bargain at arm’s length.

(d)Without limiting the rights of Lender hereto to pursue all other legal and equitable rights available to Lender for any Borrower’s failure to perform its obligations under this Agreement, each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the remedy at law for any failure to perform obligations hereunder would be inadequate and Lender shall be entitled to specific performance, injunctive relief, or other equitable remedies in the event of any such failure. The availability of these remedies shall not prohibit Lender from pursuing any other remedies for such breach, including the recovery of monetary damages.

(e)Lender shall have, in addition to its rights and remedies under the Facility Documents, all of the rights and remedies provided by applicable federal, state, foreign, and local laws (including the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC of the State of New York, to the extent that the UCC is applicable, and the right to offset any mutual debt and claim), in equity, and under any other agreement between Lender and any Borrower Party. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Lender shall be entitled to set off the proceeds of the liquidation of the Financed Rental Properties and Collateral against all of the Secured Obligations owed to Lender,

71



whether or not such obligations are then due, without prejudice to Lender’s right to recover any deficiency.

Section 16.Indemnification and Expenses.

(a)Each Borrower agrees to hold Lender, and its Affiliates and their officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors (each an “Indemnified Party”) harmless from and indemnify any Indemnified Party against all liabilities, losses, damages, judgments, costs and expenses of any kind (including fees of counsel) which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Indemnified Party (collectively, “Costs”), relating to or arising out of this Agreement, any other Facility Document or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, or any amendment, supplement or modification of, or any waiver or consent under or in respect of, this Agreement, any other Facility Document or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, that, in each case, results from anything other than the Indemnified Party’s fraud, bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct. This Section 16(a) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than Taxes that represent losses, damages, claims, costs and expenses arising from any non-Tax claim. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Borrower agrees to hold any Indemnified Party harmless from and indemnify such Indemnified Party against all Costs with respect to all Collateral, including Rental Property, which, in each case, results from anything other than the Indemnified Party’s fraud, bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct. In any suit, proceeding or action brought by an Indemnified Party in connection with any Collateral for any sum owing thereunder, or to enforce any provisions of any Collateral, each Borrower will save, indemnify and hold such Indemnified Party harmless from and against all expense, loss or damage suffered by reason of any defense, set-off, counterclaim, recoupment or reduction or liability whatsoever of the account debtor or obligor thereunder, arising out of a breach by any Borrower of any obligation thereunder or arising out of any other agreement, indebtedness or liability at any time owing to or in favor of such account debtor or obligor or its successors from such Borrower. Each Borrower also agrees to reimburse an Indemnified Party as and when billed by such Indemnified Party for all the Indemnified Party’s costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement or the preservation of Lender’s rights under this Agreement, the Note, any other Facility Document or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, including the fees and disbursements of its counsel.

(b)Each Borrower agrees to pay as and when billed by Lender all of the out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with the development, preparation, execution and enforcement of, and any amendment, supplement or modification to, this Agreement, any other Facility Document or any other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith, including reasonable legal fees and expenses; provided that Borrowers’ collective reimbursement obligation under this Section 16(b) with respect to Lender’s legal fees incurred in connection with the development, preparation and execution of the Facility Documents on or prior to the Closing Date shall be capped at the Legal Fee Cap or such other amount as may be mutually agreed among Borrowers and Lender. Each Borrower agrees to pay as and when billed by Lender all of the costs and expenses incurred in connection with the consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby including filing fees and all the reasonable fees and disbursements and expenses of counsel to Lender which amount shall be deducted from the Advance Amount advanced for the first Advance hereunder. Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 19 hereof,

72



each Borrower agrees to pay Lender all the reasonable due diligence, inspection, testing and review costs and expenses incurred by Lender with respect to Rental Property pledged by Borrowers to secure Advances under this Agreement, including those out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Lender pursuant to Sections 16(b) and 19 hereof.

(c)Borrower hereby acknowledges that, notwithstanding the fact that the Note is secured by the Collateral, the obligations of Borrowers from time to time to pay the Repayment Amount, the Accrued Interest, and all other amounts due under this Agreement shall be full recourse obligations of Borrowers.

Section 17.Property Management.

(a)Borrowers, on Lender’s behalf, shall contract with one or more Property Managers to manage each Rental Property consistent with the degree of skill and care that such Property Managers customarily require with respect to similar Rental Property owned or managed by such Property Managers and in accordance with Accepted Property Management Practices. Property Manager shall (i) comply with all applicable Federal, State and local laws and regulations, (ii) maintain all state and federal licenses necessary for it to perform its management responsibilities hereunder and (iii) not impair the rights of Lender in any Rental Property or any payment thereunder.

(b)[Reserved]

(c)Borrowers shall and shall cause the applicable Pledgor to hold or cause to be held all escrow funds with respect to any Financed Rental Properties in one or more Borrower Operating Accounts and apply the same for the purposes for which such funds were collected.

(d)Borrowers shall cause the applicable Pledgor to deposit and remit all Income received by such Pledgor on account of the Financed Rental Properties in strict accordance with the provisions of Section 5(a) hereof.

(e)Upon the occurrence of (i) an Event of Default hereunder or (ii) a Property Manager Termination Event, Lender shall have the right to immediately terminate the Property Manager’s right to manage the Rental Property without payment of any penalty or termination fee and to deliver to each Tenant a Tenant Instruction Notice and to each Subcontractor a Subcontractor Instruction Notice. Borrowers shall cooperate in transferring the management of the Rental Property to a successor Property Manager appointed by Lender in its sole discretion.

(f)If any Borrower should discover that, for any reason whatsoever, any entity responsible to Borrower by contract for managing any such Rental Property has failed to perform fully such Borrower’s obligations under the Facility Documents or any of the obligations of such entities with respect to the Rental Property, such Borrower shall promptly notify Lender.

Section 18.Recording of Communications.

73



Lender and Borrower Parties shall have the right (but not the obligation) from time to time to make or cause to be made tape recordings of communications between its employees and those of the other party with respect to Advances upon notice to the other party of such recording.
Section 19.Due Diligence.

(a)Each Borrower acknowledges that Lender has the right to perform continuing due diligence reviews on all proposed Rental Properties and Financed Rental Properties, each Borrower Party and Guarantor, including financial information, organization documents, business plans, purchase agreements and underwriting purchase models for each pool of Rental Properties, for purposes of verifying compliance with the representations, warranties and specifications made hereunder or otherwise, and each Borrower agrees that (i) upon reasonable prior notice to Borrowers, unless an Event of Default shall have occurred, in which case no notice is required, Lender or its authorized representatives will be permitted during normal business hours to examine, inspect, and make copies and extracts of the Property Files and any and all documents, records, agreements, instruments or information relating to such Rental Property (the “Due Diligence Documents”) in the possession or under the control of any Borrower Party and/or Guarantor and/or the Custodian, or (ii) upon reasonable request, Borrowers shall create and deliver to Lender within five (5) Business Days of such request, an electronic copy via email to Wholeloandesksecure-am@nomura.com, in a format acceptable to Lender, of such Due Diligence Documents as Lender may request. Borrowers also shall make available, and cause each other Borrower Party and Guarantor to make available, to Lender a knowledgeable financial or accounting officer for the purpose of answering questions respecting the Property Files and the Rental Property.

(b)Borrowers agree to pay all reasonable out‑of‑pocket costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with Lender’s activities pursuant to this Section 19; provided that prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default that is continuing, Borrowers shall not be obligated to pay to Lender more than the applicable Due Diligence Cap in connection with (x) Lender’s due diligence of (x) proposed Rental Properties and Financed Rental Properties under this Section 19 (with the exception of any costs incurred in connection with (i) obtaining BPOs in respect of such Rental Property in accordance with this Agreement, (ii) the lien and litigation searches conducted from time to time on Rental Properties that are Eligible Non-Mortgaged Rental Properties, or (iii) the costs incurred in connection with the review of the Lender’s Title Insurance Policies procured with respect to the Financed Rental Properties that are subject to a Mortgage, none of which costs shall be subject to the Due Diligence Cap) and (y) Lender’s due diligence reviews of Borrower Parties and Guarantor.

(c)Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Borrower acknowledges that Lender may make Advances (including Incremental Advances) to Borrowers secured by Collateral based solely upon the information provided by Borrowers to Lender in the Asset Schedule and the representations, warranties and covenants contained herein, and that Lender, at its option, has the right at any time to conduct a partial or complete due diligence review on some or all of the Rental Properties pledged to secure an Advance, including (i) ordering BPOs, new credit reports, lien searches and new appraisals on the related Rental Property, (ii) conducting diligence on a Sample Set, which diligence shall include a review of the BPOs for such Sample Set,

74



(iii) conducting lien and litigation searches from time to time on Rental Properties that are Eligible Non-Mortgaged Rental Properties, (iv) otherwise re‑generating the information used to originate such Rental Property, and (v) perform limited underwriting of the Rental Properties to confirm (x) that the costs of Improvements previously incurred with respect to a Rental Property are reflected in the current BPO Value of such Rental Property and (y) with respect to Stabilized Rental Properties, that the related Tenant is occupying the Rental Property. Each Borrower agrees to and, to the extent it controls such other Borrower Party, agrees to cause each other Borrower Party and any third party underwriter in connection with such underwriting, to provide Lender and any third party underwriter with access to any and all documents, records, agreements, instruments or information relating to such Rental Property in the possession, or under the control, of such Borrower.

Section 20.Assignability.

(a)The rights and obligations of the parties under this Agreement, the Note and under any Advance shall not be assigned by any Borrower without the prior written consent of Lender. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement, the Note and any Advance shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and assigns. Nothing in this Agreement express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties to this Agreement and their successors hereunder, any benefit of any legal or equitable right, power, remedy or claim under this Agreement. Lender may, upon at least five (5) Business Days’ notice to Borrowers, from time to time assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, the Note and the other Facility Documents to any Eligible Person pursuant to executed assignment and acceptance by Lender and assignee (“Assignment and Acceptance”), specifying the percentage or portion of such rights and obligations assigned. Upon such assignment, (a) such assignee shall be a party hereto and to each Facility Document to the extent of the percentage or portion set forth in the Assignment and Acceptance, and shall succeed to the applicable rights and obligations of Lender hereunder, and (b) Lender shall, to the extent that such rights and obligations have been so assigned by it be released from its obligations hereunder and under the Facility Documents. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, no Eligible Person shall be entitled to receive any greater amount hereunder than Lender would be entitled to receive. Unless otherwise stated in the Assignment and Acceptance, Borrower Parties shall continue to take directions solely from Lender unless otherwise notified by Lender in writing. Lender may distribute to any prospective assignee any document or other information delivered to Lender by Borrower Parties.

(b)Lender, upon at least five (5) Business Days’ notice to Borrowers, may sell participations to one or more Eligible Persons in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to any Eligible Person; provided, however, that (i) Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations; and (iii) Borrower Parties shall continue to deal solely and directly with Lender in connection with Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Facility Documents except as provided in Section 7; provided that no such restrictions shall apply with respect to any sale to any Affiliate of Lender or if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; and provided further that Lender shall act as agent for all purchasers, assignees and point of contact for Borrowers pursuant to agency provisions to be agreed upon by Lender, its intended purchasers and/or assignees and Borrowers. Borrowers agree that each

75



participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 6 and 7 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 7(e) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 7(e) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section; provided that such participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 6 or 7 with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a change in Requirement of Law that occurs after the participant acquired the applicable participation. Lender may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 20, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant, as the case may be, any information relating to any Borrower Party or any of its Subsidiaries or to any aspect of the Advances that has been furnished to Lender by or on behalf of any Borrower Party or any of its Subsidiaries; provided that such assignee or participant agrees to hold such information subject to the confidentiality provisions of this Agreement.

(c)In the event Lender assigns all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, the parties hereto agree to negotiate in good faith an amendment to this Agreement to add agency provisions similar to those included in loan agreements for similar syndicated lending facilities.

(d)Lender hereby agrees that it shall, endorse the Note to reflect any assignments made pursuant to this Section 20 or otherwise.

(e)Lender, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lender (including any successor, assignee or participant), and the percentage of such rights and obligations assigned (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrowers and the Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers and the Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(f)The Lender, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the percentage of such rights and obligations of each Participant hereunder (the “Participant Register”); provided that Lender shall not 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 Participant's interest herein) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such interest 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 the 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.

76




Section 21.Transfer. From and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of Lender under this Agreement. Any assignment or transfer by Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 21 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 20(b) hereof.

Section 22.Tax Treatment. Each party to this Agreement acknowledges that it is its intent for purposes of U.S. federal, state and local income and franchise taxes, to treat each Advance as indebtedness of Borrowers that is secured by the Collateral and that the Collateral is owned by Borrowers in the absence of a Default by Borrowers. All parties to this Agreement agree to such treatment and agree to take no action inconsistent with this treatment, unless required by law.

Section 23.Set-Off.

(a)In addition to any rights and remedies of Lender hereunder and by law, Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to Borrowers, any such notice being expressly waived by Borrowers to the extent permitted by applicable law to set-off and appropriate and apply against any obligation from Borrowers to Lender or any of its Affiliates any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other obligation (including to return excess margin), credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by or due from Lender or any Affiliate thereof to or for the credit or the account of Borrowers. Lender agrees promptly to notify Borrowers after any such set‑off and application made by Lender; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set‑off and application.

(b)Lender shall at any time have the right, in each case until such time as Lender determines otherwise, to retain, to suspend payment or performance of, or to decline to remit, any amount or property that Lender would otherwise be obligated to pay, remit or deliver to any Borrower hereunder if an Event of Default has occurred.

Section 24.Terminability

. Each representation and warranty made or deemed to be made by a Borrower receiving an Advance, herein or pursuant hereto shall survive the making of such representation and warranty, and Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any Default that may arise because any such representation or warranty shall have proved to be false or misleading, notwithstanding that Lender may have had notice or knowledge or reason to believe that such representation or warranty was false or misleading at the time the Advance was made. The obligations of each Borrower under Section 16 hereof shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

77



Section 25.Notices And Other Communications. Except as otherwise expressly permitted by this Agreement, all notices, requests and other communications provided for herein (including any modifications of, or waivers, requests or consents under, this Agreement) shall be given or made in writing (including by telecopy, electronic mail or other electronic means) delivered to the intended recipient at the “Address for Notices” specified below its name on the signature pages hereof or thereof); or, as to any party, at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to each other party. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement and except for notices given under Section 3 (which shall be effective only on receipt), all such communications shall be deemed to have been duly given when transmitted by telecopy, electronic mail or other electronic means or personally delivered or, in the case of a mailed notice, upon receipt, in each case given or addressed as aforesaid. In all cases, to the extent that the related individual set forth in the respective “Attention” line is no longer employed by the respective Person, such notice may be given to the attention of a Responsible Officer of the respective Person or to the attention of such individual or individuals as subsequently notified in writing by a Responsible Officer of the respective Person.

Section 26.Entire Agreement; Severability; Single Agreement.

(a)This Agreement, together with the Facility Documents, constitute the entire understanding between Lender and each Borrower with respect to the subject matter they cover and shall supersede any existing agreements between the parties containing general terms and conditions for loan transactions involving Financed Rental Properties. By acceptance of this Agreement, Lender and each Borrower acknowledges that it has not made, and is not relying upon, any statements, representations, promises or undertakings not contained in this Agreement. Each provision and agreement herein shall be treated as separate and independent from any other provision or agreement herein and shall be enforceable notwithstanding the unenforceability of any such other provision or agreement.

(b)Lender and each Borrower acknowledges that, and has entered hereinto and Lender will make each Advance hereunder in consideration of and in reliance upon the fact that, all Advances made by Lender hereunder constitute a single business and contractual relationship and that each has been entered into in consideration of the other Advances made by Lender hereunder. Accordingly, each of Lender and each Borrower agrees (i) to perform all of its obligations in respect of each Advance, and that a default in the performance of any such obligations shall constitute a default by it in respect of all Advances hereunder, (ii) that each of them shall be entitled to set off claims and apply property held by them in respect of any Advance against obligations owing to them in respect of any other Advance hereunder; (iii) that payments, deliveries, and other transfers made by either of them in respect of any Advance shall be deemed to have been made in consideration of payments, deliveries, and other transfers in respect of any other Advances hereunder, and the obligations to make any such payments, deliveries, and other transfers may be applied against each other and netted and (iv) to promptly provide notice to the other after any such set off or application.

Section 27.GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE CONFLICT OF LAW PRINCIPLES THEREOF, OTHER THAN SECTION

78



5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW, WHICH SHALL GOVERN.

Section 28.SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION; WAIVERS. LENDER AND EACH BORROWER EACH HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY:

(a)SUBMITS FOR ITSELF AND ITS PROPERTY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTE AND THE OTHER FACILITY DOCUMENTS, OR FOR RECOGNITION AND ENFORCEMENT OF ANY JUDGMENT IN RESPECT THEREOF, TO THE EXCLUSIVE GENERAL JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, THE FEDERAL COURTS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, AND APPELLATE COURTS FROM ANY THEREOF;

(b)CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE BROUGHT IN SUCH COURTS AND, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT OR THAT SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING WAS BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT COURT AND AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM THE SAME;

(c)AGREES THAT SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE EFFECTED BY MAILING A COPY THEREOF BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL (OR ANY SUBSTANTIALLY SIMILAR FORM OF MAIL), POSTAGE PREPAID, TO ITS ADDRESS SET FORTH UNDER ITS SIGNATURE BELOW OR AT SUCH OTHER ADDRESS OF WHICH LENDER SHALL HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED;

Section 29.No Waivers, etc. No failure on the part of Lender to exercise and no delay in exercising, and no course of dealing with respect to, any right, power or privilege under any Facility Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege under any Facility Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The remedies provided herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law. An Event of Default shall be deemed to be continuing unless expressly waived by Lender in writing.

79




Section 30.Cross-Default; Cross-Collateralization; Waiver of Marshalling of Assets.

(a)Borrowers hereby acknowledge that Lender has made the Advances to Borrowers upon, among other things, the security of its collective interest in the Financed Rental Properties and in reliance upon the aggregate of the Financed Rental Properties taken together being of greater value as collateral security than the sum of each Financed Rental Property taken separately. Borrowers agrees that the Mortgages are and will be cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with each other so that (i) an Event of Default under any of the Mortgages shall constitute an Event of Default under each of the other Mortgages which secure the Note; (ii) an Event of Default under the Note or this Agreement shall constitute an Event of Default under each Mortgage; (iii) each Mortgage shall constitute security for the Note as if a single blanket lien were placed on all of the Financed Rental Properties as security for the Note; and (iv) such cross-collateralization shall in no event be deemed to constitute a fraudulent conveyance.

(b)To the fullest extent permitted by law, each Borrower for itself and its successors and assigns, waives all rights to a marshalling of the assets of such Borrower, Borrower’s partners or members and of the Financed Rental Properties, or to a sale in inverse order of alienation in the event of foreclosure of all or any of the Mortgages, 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 Facility Documents to a sale of the Financed Rental Properties for the collection of the Secured Obligations without any prior or different resort for collection or of the right of Lender to the payment of the Secured Obligations out of the net proceeds of the Financed Rental Properties in preference to every other claimant whatsoever. In addition, each Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives in the event of foreclosure of any or all of the Mortgages, any equitable right otherwise available to Borrowers which would require the separate sale of the Financed Rental Properties or require Lender to exhaust its remedies against any Financed Rental Property or any combination of the Financed Rental Properties before proceeding against any other Financed Rental Property or combination of Financed Rental Properties; and further in the event of such foreclosure each Borrower does hereby expressly consent to and authorizes, at the option of Lender, the foreclosure and sale either separately or together of any combination of the Financed Rental Properties.

Section 31.Confidentiality.

(a)Lender and each Borrower hereby acknowledge and agree that all written or computer-readable information provided by one party to any other regarding the terms set forth in any of the Facility Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby (collectively, the “Confidential Terms”) shall be kept confidential and shall not be divulged to any party without the prior written consent of such other party except to the extent that (i) it is necessary to disclose to its Affiliates and its and their legal counsel, accountants, auditors, or taxing authorities, (ii) it is required by governmental agencies, regulatory bodies or other legal, governmental or regulatory process, (iii) any of the Confidential Terms are in the public domain other than due to a breach of

80



this covenant, or (iv) an Event of a Default has occurred and Lender determines such information to be necessary or desirable to disclose in connection with the marketing and sales of the Collateral or otherwise to enforce or exercise Lender’s rights hereunder; provided that Guarantor may disclose the fact that Nomura Corporate Funding Americas LLC is the lender hereunder in its 8-K filings and may disclose this Agreement and the Guaranty in its 10-Q filings; provided further that no Borrower nor Guarantor or any Affiliate thereof shall, without the written consent of Lender, make any communication, press release, public announcement or statement in any way connected to the existence or terms of this Agreement or the other Facility Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, except where such communication or announcement is expressly required by law or regulation, in which event Guarantor will consult with Lender and Guarantor and Lender shall cooperate with each other with respect to the wording of any such disclosure or announcement; provided further that no Borrower nor Guarantor or any Affiliate thereof shall, without the written consent of Lender (which consent may be granted or withheld in Lender’s sole discretion), disclose the Pricing Side Letter, except, where such disclosure is expressly required by law or regulation. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Facility Document, the parties hereto may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the federal, state and local tax treatment of the Advances, any fact relevant to understanding the federal, state and local tax treatment of the Advances, and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) relating to such federal, state and local tax treatment and that may be relevant to understanding such tax treatment; provided that neither Lender nor any Borrower may disclose the name of or identifying information with respect to Lender (in the case of Borrowers) or any Borrower (in the case of Lender) or any pricing terms (including the Interest Rate, Advance Rate and Advance Amount), LTV or other nonpublic business or financial information (including any sublimits and financial covenants) that is unrelated to the federal, state and local tax treatment of the Advances and is not relevant to understanding the federal, state and local tax treatment of the Advances, without the prior written consent of Lender or such Borrower, as applicable. The provisions set forth in this Section 31 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

(b)Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Lender and each Borrower shall comply with all applicable local, state and federal laws, including all privacy and data protection law, rules and regulations that are applicable to the Collateral and/or any applicable terms of this Agreement (the “Confidential Information”). Lender and each Borrower understand that the information provided by one party to another regarding the Collateral and the transactions contemplated hereunder may contain “nonpublic personal information”, as that term is defined in Section 509(4) of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (the “GLB Act”), and Lender and each Borrower agree to maintain such nonpublic personal information that such party receives hereunder in accordance with the GLB Act and other applicable federal, state and local privacy and data protection laws. Lender and each Borrower shall (a) ensure the security and confidentiality of the “nonpublic personal information” of the “customers” (as defined in the GLB Act) of Lender or any Borrower, as applicable, or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing which Lender or any such Borrower holds, (b) protect against any anticipated threats or hazards to the security and integrity of such nonpublic personal information, and (c) protect against any unauthorized access to or use of such nonpublic personal information. Lender and each Borrower shall notify the applicable party promptly following discovery of any breach or compromise of the security, confidentiality, or integrity of

81



nonpublic personal information of the customers and consumers of Lender or any Borrower, as applicable, or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing provided directly to such party. Lender and each Borrower shall provide such notice to the applicable party by personal delivery, by facsimile with confirmation of receipt, by electronic mail or by overnight courier with confirmation of receipt to the applicable requesting individual.

SCHEDULE 1
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES RE: RENTAL PROPERTY

Each Borrower makes the following representations and warranties to Lender with respect to each Rental Property as of the related Advance Date and at all times while the Rental Property secures an Advance hereunder. With respect to those representations and warranties which are made to such Borrower’s knowledge or to the best of such Borrower’s knowledge, if it is discovered by such Borrower or Lender that the substance of such representation and warranty is inaccurate, notwithstanding such Borrower’s lack of knowledge with respect to the substance of such representation and warranty, such inaccuracy shall be deemed a breach of the applicable representation and warranty.
(a)Eligibility. Such Rental Property is an Eligible Rental Property.

(b)Property File. All documents required to be delivered as part of the Property File in accordance with the Custodial Agreement, have been delivered to the Custodian and all information contained in the related Asset Schedule Property File (or as otherwise provided to Lender) in respect of such Rental Property is accurate and complete in all material respects.

(c)Ownership. Such Borrower is the sole owner and holder of the Rental Property and the Property Management Rights related thereto. Borrower has not assigned or pledged the Rental Property and the related Property Management Rights.

(d)Rental Property as Described. The information set forth in the Asset Schedule with respect to the data fields identified on Exhibit E is complete, true and correct in all material respects (the “Data Representation”). The information set forth in the Asset Schedule accurately reflects information contained in such Borrower’s records in all material respects. All other information or data (other than the information set forth on the Asset Schedule) furnished by, or on behalf of, Borrowers to Lender with respect to each Rental Property is complete, true and correct in all material respects. All information contained in the related Underwriting Package in respect of the Rental Property is accurate and complete in all material respects.

(e)Owner’s Title Insurance Policy. The related Property Files contain, for such Rental Property, an owner’s title insurance policy insuring the good and marketable fee ownership by the related Borrower of such Rental Property or a title commitment for such a policy issued by a nationally recognized title insurer, and such Borrower has not been notified in writing of any fact that would lead a reasonable person to believe that Lender cannot obtain similar insurance from a nationally recognized title insurer (without additional exceptions to coverage) upon payment of the applicable premium. The related Borrower is the sole insured of such owner’s title insurance policy, and such owner’s title insurance policy is in full force and effect and will be in full force and effect upon the pledge of the Rental Property to Lender and all premiums thereon have been paid and no material claims have been made thereunder and no claims have been paid thereunder. Neither the related Borrower nor, to the knowledge of the related Borrower, Property Manager has, by act or omission, done anything that would materially impair the coverage under such policy. No claims have been made under such owner’s title insurance policy, and the related Borrower has not done, by act or omission, anything which would impair the coverage of such owner’s title insurance policy.


Schedule 1 - 1




(f)Deed. The Property File for such Rental Property includes a Deed for such Rental Property conveying the Rental Property to the applicable Borrower, with vesting in the actual name of such Borrower and either evidence that such Deed has been duly recorded or certification from a Responsible Officer of the applicable Borrower that such Deed has been submitted for recordation to the applicable recording office.

(g)Compliance with Requirements of Law. To the best of the related Borrower’s knowledge, such Rental Property (including the leasing and intended use thereof) complies in all material respects with all applicable Requirements of Law, including all applicable anti-discrimination laws and landlord-tenant laws, building and zoning ordinances and codes and all certifications, permits, licenses and approvals, including without limitation, certificates of completion and occupancy permits, required for the legal leasing, use, occupancy, habitability and operation of the Rental Property, have been obtained and are in full force and effect. There is no consent, approval, order or authorization of, and no filing with or notice to, any court or Governmental Authority related to the operation, use or leasing of the Rental Property that has not been obtained. There has not been committed by any Borrower Party or to the knowledge of the related Borrower, by any other Person in occupancy of or involved with the operation, use or leasing of the Rental Property any act or omission affording any Governmental Authority the right of forfeiture as against the Rental Property or any part thereof.

(h)Taxes, Assessments and Other Charges. To the best of the related Borrower’s knowledge, all taxes, homeowner or similar association fees, charges, and assessments, governmental assessments, insurance premiums, water, sewer and municipal charges, leasehold payments or ground rents with respect to such Rental Property which previously became due and owing have been paid. All transfer taxes, deed stamps, intangible taxes or other amounts in the nature of transfer taxes required to be paid under applicable Requirements of Law in connection with the transfer of such Rental Property to the applicable Borrower have been paid or are being paid simultaneously with the making of the relevant Advance.

(i)No Litigation. There is no litigation, proceeding or governmental investigation pending, or any order, injunction or decree outstanding, existing or relating to such Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to the Rental Property that could reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the value of the Rental Property or the related Borrower. Neither the related Borrower nor, to the knowledge of the related Borrower, Property Manager has received notice from any Person (including without limitation any Governmental Authority) that the Rental Property owned by such Borrower is subject to any consumer litigation which could have a material and adverse effect on the value of the Rental Property.

(j)Hazard Insurance. All buildings or other customarily insured improvements upon the Rental Property (including loss of Rental Proceeds with respect to the Rental Property) are insured by an insurer against loss by fire, hazards of extended coverage and such other hazards in an amount not less than the lesser of the related BPO Value and the replacement value of such Rental Property.

(k)Flood Insurance. If the Improvements on the Rental Property were in an area identified in the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards at the time Borrower acquired such Rental Property, a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration is in effect with a generally acceptable insurance carrier in an amount representing commercially reasonable coverage.


Schedule 1 - 2




(l)No Mechanics’ Liens. There are no valid and enforceable mechanics’ or similar liens or claims which have been filed for work, labor or material affecting the related Rental Property that are overdue for more than thirty (30) days, except for mechanics’ or similar liens or claims that are overdue for more than thirty (30) days in an aggregate amount of less than 5% of the BPO Value of such Rental Property.

(m)No Damage. Except as disclosed in the related Asset Schedule, to the best of the related Borrower’s knowledge, the Rental Property is undamaged by water, fire, earthquake, earth movement other than earthquake, windstorm, flood, tornado, defective construction materials or work, or similar casualty (excluding casualty from the presence of hazardous wastes or hazardous substances) which would cause such Rental Property to become uninhabitable.

There are no defaults by the related Borrower or any Tenant under such Lease Agreement, and there are no conditions that, with the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute defaults under such Lease Agreement. Except as such Borrower (or Property Manager acting on behalf of such Borrower) acting in its reasonable business judgment may otherwise determine, such Borrower has not waived any material default, breach, violation or event of acceleration by the related Tenant existing under such Lease Agreement related to such Rental Property. All work to be performed by such Borrower under such Lease Agreement has been performed as required, and such Borrower has not been notified in writing that the applicable Tenant under such Lease Agreement has not accepted or has contested the completion of such work, and any payments, free rent, partial rent, rebate of rent or other payments, credits, allowances or abatements required to be given by such Borrower to the related Tenant have already been received by such Tenant. The related Tenant under such Lease Agreement does not have a right or option pursuant to such Lease Agreement or otherwise to purchase all or any part of the leased premises or the building of which the leased premises are a part. The Lease Agreement is terminable upon the occurrence of a material default by the related Tenant after the expiration of any notice period required by applicable Requirements of Law.
