Promissory Note of even date herewith, in the stated principal amount of One
Hundred Ninety Six Million Sixty Eight Thousand Three Hundred and No/100
Dollars ($196,068,300.00) executed by Borrowers and payable to the order of

contained herein. Interest at the Default Rate shall be paid immediately upon
demand, which demand may be made as frequently as Lender shall elect.
2.2.4 Interest Calculation. Interest on the Outstanding

so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Loan does not exceed
the Maximum Legal Rate from time to time in effect and applicable to the Loan
for so long as the Loan is outstanding.
2.3 Loan Payments.
2.3.1 Payments. Borrowers shall pay to Lender (a) on the date
hereof, an amount equal to interest only on the Outstanding Principal Balance
from the Closing Date up to and including September 11, 2005 (the "Initial
Interest Period"), (b) on each Monthly Payment Date thereafter beginning on
October 11, 2005 throughout the Term, a payment of interest only computed at
the Interest Rate on the Outstanding Principal Balance for the applicable
Interest Period (the "Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount"), and (c) all
amounts required in respect of Reserve Funds as set forth in Article 6 hereof.
2.3.2 [Intentionally Omitted.]
2.3.3 Payments Generally. After the Initial Interest Period,
each interest accrual period thereafter (each, an "Interest Period") shall
commence on the eleventh (11th) day of each calendar month during the Term and
shall end on and include the tenth (10th) day of the next occurring calendar
month. For purposes of making payments hereunder, but not for purposes of
calculating interest accrual periods, if the day on which such payment is due
is not a Business Day, then amounts due on such date shall be due on the
immediately succeeding Business Day. Lender shall have the right from time to
time, in its sole discretion, upon not less than thirty (30) days prior
written notice to Borrowers, to change the Monthly Payment Date to a different
calendar day each month which is not more than five (5) days earlier nor more
than five (5) days later than the eleventh day of each calendar month;
provided, however, that if Lender shall have elected to change the Monthly
Payment Date as aforesaid, Lender shall have the option, but not the
obligation, to adjust the Interest Period accordingly. With respect to
payments of principal due on the Maturity Date, interest shall be payable at
the Interest Rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, through and
including the day immediately preceding such Maturity Date. All amounts due
pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be payable
without setoff, counterclaim, defense or any other deduction whatsoever.
2.3.4 Payment on Maturity Date. Borrowers shall pay to Lender
on the Maturity Date the Outstanding Principal Balance, all accrued and unpaid
interest and all other
23
amounts due hereunder and under the Note, the Mortgage and the other Loan
Documents less any Non-Excluded Taxes, as applicable.
2.3.5 Late Payment Charge. If any principal, interest or any
other sum due under the Loan Documents is not paid by Borrowers on the date on
which it is due, or if the payment of the principal due on the Maturity Date
is not paid within thirty (30) days of the Maturity Date, Borrowers shall pay
to Lender upon demand an amount equal to the lesser of three percent (3%) of
such unpaid sum or the maximum amount permitted by applicable law in order to
defray the expense incurred by Lender in handling and processing such
delinquent payment and to compensate Lender for the loss of the use of such
delinquent payment provided that no such amount shall be due in connection
with any debt service payment amounts due hereunder if, as of the applicable
Monthly Payment Date, sufficient funds are in the Deposit Account and no other
Event of Default shall then be continuing. Any such amount shall be secured by
the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents.
2.3.6 Method and Place of Payment.
(a) Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all
payments and prepayments under this Agreement and the Note shall be made to
Lender not later than 1:00 P.M., New York City time, on the date when due and
shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately
available funds at Lender's office or at such other place as Lender shall from
time to time designate, and any funds received by Lender after such time
shall, for all purposes hereof, be deemed to have been paid on the next
succeeding Business Day.
(b) Whenever any payment to be made hereunder or under any
other Loan Document shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business
Day, the due date thereof shall be the immediately preceding Business Day.
(c) All payments required to be made by Borrowers hereunder
or under the Note or the other Loan Documents shall be made irrespective of,
and without deduction for, any setoff, claim or counterclaim other than any
Non-Excluded Taxes, as applicable, and shall be made irrespective of any
defense thereto.
2.3.7 Taxes.
(a) Taxes Generally. All payments by Borrowers of principal
of, and interest on, the Loan and all other Obligations shall be made free an
clear of and without deduction for any present or future excise, stamp or
other taxes, fees, duties, levies, imposts, charges, deductions, withholdings
or other charges of any nature whatsoever imposed by any taxing authority, but
excluding (i) franchise taxes, (ii) any taxes imposed on or measured by
Lender's assets, net income, receipts or branch profits, (iii) any taxes
(other than withholding taxes) with respect to Lender that would not be
imposed but for a connection between Lender and the jurisdiction imposing such
taxes (other than a connection arising solely by virtue of the activities of
Lender pursuant to or in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan
Document), and (iv) any taxes, fees, duties, levies, imposts, charges,
deductions, withholdings or other charges to the extent imposed as a result of
the failure of the Lender to provide and keep current (to the extent legally
able) any certificates, documents or other evidence required to qualify for an
exemption
24
from, or reduced rate of, any such taxes, fees, duties, levies, imposts,
charges, deductions, withholdings or other charges (such non-excluded items
being collectively called "Non-Excluded Taxes"). If any withholding or
deduction from any payment to be made by Borrowers hereunder is required in
respect of any Non-Excluded Taxes pursuant to any applicable law, then
Borrowers shall:
(i) pay directly to the relevant Governmental
Authority the full amount required to be so withheld or deducted;
(ii) promptly forward to Lender an official receipt
or other documentation satisfactory to Lender evidencing such payment to
such Governmental Authority; and
(iii) pay to Lender such additional amount or amounts
as is necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by
Lender will equal the full amount that Lender would have received had no
such withholding or deduction been required.
(b) Tax Indemnification. If Borrowers fail to pay any
Non-Excluded Taxes when due to the appropriate Governmental Authority or fails
to remit the required receipts or other required documentary evidence,
Borrowers shall indemnify Lender for any incremental Non-Excluded Taxes,
interest or penalties that may become payable by Lender as a result of any
such failure.
(c) Refunds. If Lender shall become aware that it is
entitled to claim a refund from a Governmental Authority in respect of
Non-Excluded Taxes imposed by any Governmental Authority as to which it has
been indemnified by any Borrower or with respect to which any Borrower has
paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.3.7, it promptly shall
notify such Borrower of the availability of such refund claim and shall make a
timely claim to such taxation authority for such refund at Borrowers' expense.
If Lender receives a refund (including pursuant to a claim for refund made
pursuant to the preceding sentence) in respect of any Non-Excluded Taxes as to
which it has been indemnified by any Borrower or with respect to which any
Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.3.7(c), it
shall within thirty (30) days from the date of such receipt pay over the
amount of such refund to such Borrower, net of all reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses of such Lender; provided, however, that Borrower, upon the request of
Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower to Lender in the
event Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.
2.4 Prepayments.
2.4.1 Voluntary Prepayments. Except as otherwise provided
herein, Borrowers shall not have the right to prepay the Loan in whole or in
part prior to the Stated Maturity Date. On the Prepayment Lockout Expiration
Date, or on any Monthly Payment Date thereafter, Borrowers may, at their
option and upon thirty (30) days prior notice to Lender, prepay the
Outstanding Principal Balance in whole only without payment of the Yield
Maintenance Premium.
2.4.2 Mandatory Prepayments. If Lender is not obligated to
make Net Proceeds available to Borrowers for Restoration, on the next
occurring Monthly Payment Date following
25
the date on which (a) Lender actually receives any Net Proceeds, and (b)
Lender has determined that such Net Proceeds shall be applied against the
Outstanding Principal Balance, Borrowers shall prepay, or authorize Lender to
apply Net Proceeds as a prepayment of, the Outstanding Principal Balance in an
amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of such Net Proceeds. So long as no
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no Yield Maintenance Premium
shall be due in connection with any prepayment made pursuant to this Section
2.4.2. Any partial prepayment under this Section 2.4.2 shall be applied to the
last payments of principal due under the Loan.
2.4.3 Prepayments After Default. If after the occurrence and
during the continuance of an Event of Default, payment of all or any part of
the Debt is tendered by Borrowers or otherwise recovered by Lender prior to
the Prepayment Lockout Expiration Date, such tender or recovery shall be
deemed (a) to have been made on the next occurring Monthly Payment Date
together with the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount, and (b) to be a
voluntary prepayment by Borrowers in violation of the prohibition against
prepayment set forth in Section 2.4.1 hereof, and Borrowers shall pay, in
addition to the Debt, an amount equal to the Yield Maintenance Premium in
respect of the Outstanding Principal Balance, or portion thereof, being
prepaid or satisfied.
2.5 Defeasance.
2.5.1 Conditions to Defeasance. Provided no Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing, at any time after the date which is (i) two
(2) years after the "startup day," within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(9) of
the Code, of a "real estate mortgage investment conduit," within the meaning
of Section 860D of the Code, that holds the Note or (ii) three (3) years after
the date hereof, whichever shall first occur, and before the Prepayment
Lockout Expiration Date, Borrowers may cause the release of all of the
Properties or any individual Non-Core Property, as the case may be, from the
Lien of the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents (a "Defeasance Event") upon
the satisfaction of the following conditions:
(a) not less than thirty (30) days (or such shorter period
as may be permitted by Lender) prior written notice shall be given to Lender
specifying a date (the "Release Date") on which the Defeasance Collateral is
to be delivered, such Release Date to occur only on a Monthly Payment Date;
(b) all accrued and unpaid interest and all other sums due
under the Note and under the other Loan Documents up to the Release Date,
including, without limitation, all actual, out-of-pocket costs and expenses
incurred by Lender or its agents in connection with such release (including,
without limitation, the reasonable fees and actual expenses incurred by
attorneys and accountants in connection with the review of the proposed
Defeasance Collateral and the preparation of the Defeasance Security Agreement
and related documentation), shall be paid in full on or prior to the Release
Date;
(c) in the event only a portion of the Loan is the subject
of a defeasance, (i) Lender, at Borrowers' expense, shall prepare all
necessary documents to modify the Mortgage (and any other applicable Loan
Documents) and to amend and restate the Note and issue two substitute notes,
one note having a principal balance equal to the defeased portion of the
original
26
Note (the "Defeased Note") and the other note having a principal balance equal
to the undefeased portion of the Note (the "Undefeased Note"). The Defeased
Note and the Undefeased Note shall have identical terms as the Note except for
the principal balance. The principal balance of the Defeased Note shall equal
or exceed the Adjusted Release Amount for the Property being released. A
Defeased Note cannot be the subject of any further defeasance;
(d) Borrowers shall deliver to Lender on or prior to the
Release Date:
(i) an amount equal to that which is sufficient to
purchase U.S. Obligations that provide for payments (1) on or prior to,
but as close as possible to and including, all successive scheduled
Monthly Payment Dates after the Release Date through the Stated Maturity
Date, and (2) in amounts equal to or greater than the Monthly Debt
Service Payment Amount with respect to the Loan, or in the case of a
partial defeasance, the Defeased Note, as applicable, through and
including the Stated Maturity Date, together with payment in full of the
Outstanding Principal Balance of the Loan or the Outstanding Principal
Balance of the Defeased Note, as applicable, in each case, as of the
Stated Maturity Date (the "Defeasance Collateral"), each of which shall
be duly endorsed by the holder thereof as directed by Lender or
accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form and substance
wholly satisfactory to Lender (including, without limitation, such
instruments as may be required by the depository institution holding
such securities to effectuate book-entry transfers and pledges through
the book-entry facilities of such institution) in order to create a
first priority security interest therein in favor of the Lender in
conformity with all applicable state and federal laws governing granting
of such security interests;
(ii) a pledge and security agreement, in form and
substance satisfactory to Lender in its sole discretion, creating a
first priority security interest in favor of Lender in the Defeasance
Collateral (the "Defeasance Security Agreement"), which shall provide,
among other things, that any excess received by Lender from the
Defeasance Collateral over the amounts payable by Borrowers hereunder
shall be refunded to Borrowers promptly after each Monthly Payment Date;
(iii) a certificate of Borrowers certifying that all
of the requirements set forth in this Section 2.5 have been satisfied;
(iv) an opinion of counsel for Borrowers in form and
substance satisfactory to Lender in its reasonable discretion and which
is otherwise standard in securitized commercial lending transactions,
stating among other things, that (1) Lender has a perfected first
priority security interest in the Defeasance Collateral and that the
Defeasance Security Agreement is enforceable against Borrowers in
accordance with its terms; and (2) that any REMIC Trust formed pursuant
to a Securitization will not fail to maintain its status as a "real
estate mortgage investment conduit" within the meaning of Section 860D
of the Code as a result of such defeasance;
(v) Borrowers shall deliver evidence in writing from
the applicable Rating Agencies to the effect that the collateral
substitution will not result in a downgrading, withdrawal or
qualification of the respective ratings in effect immediately
27
prior to such defeasance event for any securities issued in connection
with the Securitization which are then outstanding;
(vi) a certificate from a firm of independent public
accountants reasonably acceptable to Lender certifying that the
Defeasance Collateral is sufficient to satisfy the provisions of Section
2.5.1(c)(i) above; and
(vii) such other certificates, documents or
instruments as Lender may reasonably require.
(e) In connection with the conditions set forth in Section
2.5.1(d) above, each Borrower hereby appoints Lender as its agent and attorney
in fact for the purpose of using the amounts delivered pursuant to Section
2.5.1(d)(i) above to purchase the Defeasance Collateral.
(f) Any Borrower that is the owner of a Non-Core Property
may obtain the release of such Non-Core Property from the lien of the Mortgage
(and the other Loan Documents) only upon the satisfaction of the additional
following covenants:
(i) Borrowers must certify to Lender that after
giving effect to such partial defeasance, the Debt Service Coverage
Ratio for the remaining Properties that will remain subject to the lien
of the Mortgage shall be not less than the greater of (1) the Debt
Service Coverage Ratio for the twelve (12) full calendar months
immediately preceding the Closing Date for the Loan, and (2) 1.30x; and
(ii) Borrowers shall deliver to Lender, at Borrowers'
sole cost and expense, an endorsement to Lender's loan policy of title
insurance (or an irrevocable commitment to issue such endorsement), in
form and substance satisfactory to Lender and insuring the priority of
Lender's remaining liens created by the Mortgage and the other Loan
Documents on the remaining Properties after giving effect to the partial
defeasance.
2.5.2 Release of Property.
(a) Upon compliance with the requirements of this Section
2.5.2, all of the Properties or, if a partial defeasance, the applicable
Property, shall be released from the Lien of the Mortgage and the other Loan
Documents, and the Defeasance Collateral shall constitute the only collateral
which shall secure the Note or the Defeased Note, as the case may be. Lender
will, at Borrowers' expense, execute and deliver any agreements reasonably
requested by Borrowers to release the Lien of the Mortgage from all of the
Properties or the applicable Property, as the case may be. Borrowers, pursuant
to the Defeasance Security Agreement, shall authorize and direct that the
payments received from Defeasance Collateral be made directly to Lender and
applied to satisfy the Obligations under the Note or the Defeased Note, as
applicable, including, in the case of full defeasance, payment in full of the
Outstanding Principal Balance as of the Stated Maturity Date. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Section 2.5 or elsewhere in this Agreement,
in the event that, in connection with one or more partial defeasances,
Borrowers deliver Defeasance Collateral in an aggregate amount sufficient to
repay in full the Outstanding Principal Balance and all accrued and unpaid
interest thereon, all remaining Properties shall be released from the Lien of
the Mortgage.
28
(b) Upon the occurrence of any Defeasance Event, other than
a Defeasance Event affecting all of the Properties, all references herein to
the term "Properties" or the term "Property" shall be deemed to exclude the
Property affected by any such Defeasance Event.
2.5.3 Successor Borrower. Upon the release of the Properties
or an individual Property, as the case may be, in accordance with Section
2.5.2, Borrowers may, or at the option of Lender shall, assign all of their
Obligations under the Note or the Defeased Note, as applicable, together with
the pledged Defeasance Collateral, to a successor entity designated by
Borrowers and approved by Lender in its sole discretion. Such successor entity
shall execute an assumption agreement in form and substance satisfactory to
Lender in its sole discretion pursuant to which it shall assume Borrowers'
Obligations under the Note and the Defeased Note, as applicable, and the
Defeasance Security Agreement. As conditions to such assignment and
assumption, Borrowers shall (i) deliver to Lender an opinion of counsel in
form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender stating, among other
things, that such assumption agreement is enforceable against Borrowers and
such successor entity in accordance with its terms and that the Note or the
Defeased Note, as the case may be, the Defeasance Security Agreement and the
other Loan Documents, as so assumed, are enforceable against such successor
entity in accordance with their respective terms, and (ii) pay all reasonable,
out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Lender or its agents in
connection with such assignment and assumption (including, without limitation,
the review of the proposed transferee and the preparation of the assumption
agreement and related documentation). Upon such assumption, Borrowers shall be
relieved of their Obligations hereunder, under the other Loan Documents and
under the Defeasance Security Agreement other than those Obligations which are
specifically intended to survive the termination, satisfaction or assignment
of this Agreement or the exercise of Lender's rights and remedies hereunder.
2.5.4 Appointment as Attorney in Fact. Upon the release of
any Property or Properties in accordance with Section 2.5.2, Borrowers shall
have no further right to prepay the Note or the Defeased Note, as applicable,
pursuant to the other provisions of this Section 2.5 or otherwise. In
connection with the conditions set forth in this Section 2.5, each Borrower
hereby appoints Lender as its agent and attorney-in-fact for the purpose of
purchasing the Defeasance Collateral with funds provided by Borrowers.
Borrowers shall pay any and all reasonable, out-of-pocket expenses incurred in
the purchase of the Defeasance Collateral and any revenue, documentary stamp
or intangible taxes or any other tax or charge due in connection with the
transfer of the Note or the Defeased Note, as applicable, or otherwise
required to accomplish the agreements of this paragraph.
2.6 Contribution.
(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein or in any of the other Loan Documents, the obligations of each Borrower
hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall be joint and several. On
any date a payment with respect to any of the Obligations or amounts now or
hereafter owing by any guarantor in respect of the Loan Documents, is made,
the right of contribution, if any, of each Borrower or any guarantor (each an
"Obligor") against each Contributor (as hereinafter defined) shall be
determined as provided in the immediately succeeding sentence, with the right
of contribution of each Obligor to be revised and restated as of each such
date. At any time that a payment (a "Relevant Payment") is made
29
by an Obligor in respect of the Obligations and results in the aggregate
payments made by such Obligor in respect of the Obligations to and including
the date of such Relevant Payment exceeding such Obligor's Contribution
Percentage (as defined below) of the aggregate payments made by all Obligors
in respect of the Obligations to and including such date (such excess, the
"Aggregate Excess Amount"), each such Obligor shall have a right of
contribution against each Contributor who has made payments in respect of the
Obligations to and including such date in an aggregate amount less than such
Contributor's Contribution Percentage of the aggregate payments made to and
including such date by all Obligors in respect of the Obligations (the
aggregate amount of such deficit, the "Aggregate Deficit Amount") in an amount
equal to (x) a fraction the numerator of which is the Aggregate Excess Amount
of such Obligor and the denominator of which is the sum of the Aggregate
Excess Amounts of all Obligors multiplied by (y) the Aggregate Deficit Amount
of such Contributor. An Obligor's right of contribution, if any, pursuant to
this paragraph shall arise at the time of each computation, subject to
adjustment at the time of subsequent computations; provided that such Obligor
may not take any action to enforce such right until the Obligations have been
paid in full, it being expressly recognized and agreed by all Obligors that
any Obligor's right of contribution arising pursuant hereto against any
Contributor shall be expressly junior and subordinate to such Contributor's
obligations and liabilities in respect of the Obligations. As used in this
Section 2.6, (i) "Contributor" shall mean each Obligor required to make any
payment to any other Obligor pursuant to this Section 2.6, (ii) the
"Contribution Percentage" of each Obligor shall mean the percentage obtained
by dividing (x) the Benefit Amount (as hereinafter defined) of such Obligor by
(y) the aggregate Benefit Amount of all Obligors and (iii) the "Benefit
Amount" of each Obligor shall mean the net value of the benefits to such
Obligor from the credit extensions made under the Loan Documents.
(b) Each of the Obligors recognizes and agrees that, except
for any right of contribution arising pursuant to this Section 2.6, each
Obligor which makes any payment in respect of the Obligations shall have no
right of contribution, reimbursement or subrogation against any other Obligor
in respect of such payment, any such right of contribution, reimbursement or
subrogation arising under law or otherwise being expressly waived by all
Obligors.
(c) Each of the Obligors recognizes and acknowledges that
the rights to contribution arising hereunder shall constitute an asset in
favor of the party entitled to such contribution. In this connection each
Obligor has the right to waive its contribution right against any Contributor
to the extent that after giving effect to such waiver such Obligor would
remain solvent in the determination of this Agreement.
ARTICLE 3
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
------------------------------
3.1 Borrowers' Representations.
Each Borrower represents and warrants that, except to the extent (if
any) disclosed on Schedule V with reference to a specific Section of this
Article 3, the following are and throughout the Term shall remain, true and
correct in all material respects:
30
3.1.1 Organization. Each of Borrowers and Sole Member are
duly organized, validly existing and in good standing with full power and
authority to own its assets and conduct its business, and are duly qualified
in all jurisdictions in which the ownership or lease of its property or the
conduct of its business requires such qualification, except where the failure
to be so qualified would not have a material adverse effect on its ability to
perform its Obligations hereunder, and each Borrower has taken all necessary
action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents by it, and has the power and authority to
execute, deliver and perform under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents
and all the transactions contemplated hereby.
3.1.2 Proceedings. This Agreement and the other Loan
Documents have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by each Borrower
and constitute a legal, valid and binding obligation of each Borrower,
enforceable against each Borrower in accordance with their respective terms,
except as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of
creditors' rights generally, and by general principles of equity (regardless
of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at
law).
3.1.3 No Conflicts. The execution and delivery of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents by each Borrower and the performance of
its Obligations hereunder and thereunder will not conflict with any provision
of any law or regulation to which any Borrower is subject, or conflict with,
result in a breach of, or constitute a default under, any of the terms,
conditions or provisions of any of Borrowers' organizational documents or any
agreement or instrument to which any Borrower is a party or by which it is
bound, or any order or decree applicable to any Borrower, or result in the
creation or imposition of any Lien on any of Borrowers' assets or property
(other than pursuant to the Loan Documents), in each case, as would materially
and adversely affect the ability of such Borrower to carry out the
transactions and perform the Obligations contemplated by this Agreement.
3.1.4 Litigation. There is no action, suit, proceeding or
investigation pending or, to any Borrowers' knowledge, threatened against any
Borrower, Guarantor, Sole Member, the Manager or any Property in any court or
by or before any other Governmental Authority which, if adversely determined,
would materially and adversely affect the condition (financial or otherwise)
or business of any Borrower (including the ability of any Borrower to carry
out the transactions contemplated by this Agreement), Guarantor, Sole Member,
Manager or the condition or ownership of the Properties.
3.1.5 Agreements.
(a) None of Borrowers is in default with respect to any
order or decree of any court or any order, regulation or demand of any
Governmental Authority, which default might have consequences that would
materially and adversely affect the condition (financial or other) or
operations of any Borrower or its properties or might have consequences that
would adversely affect its performance hereunder. None of Borrowers is in
default in any material respect in the performance, observance or fulfillment
of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions contained in any Permitted
Encumbrance or any other agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by
which it or any of the Properties is bound.
31
(b) Each of the Existing Affiliate Contracts is terminable
on thirty (30) days' notice and has been entered into upon terms and
conditions that are intrinsically fair and substantially similar to those that
would be available on an arms-length basis with third parties. None of the
Existing Affiliate Contracts are Major Contracts.
3.1.6 Consents. No consent, approval, authorization or order
of any court or Governmental Authority is required for the execution, delivery
and performance by Borrowers of, or compliance by any Borrower with, this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby, other than those which have been obtained by any
Borrower.
3.1.7 Title. Such Borrower has good, marketable and insurable
fee simple title to the Property with respect to which it has granted a Lien
under the New York Mortgage, the New Jersey Mortgage or the Connecticut
Mortgage, as applicable, free and clear of all Liens whatsoever except the
Permitted Encumbrances, such other Liens as are permitted pursuant to the Loan
Documents and the Liens created by the Loan Documents. To such Borrower's
knowledge, the Mortgage and the Assignment of Leases, when properly recorded
in the appropriate records, together with any Uniform Commercial Code
financing statements required to be filed in connection therewith, will create
(a) a valid, perfected first priority lien on each of the Properties, subject
only to Permitted Encumbrances and the Liens created by the Loan Documents,
and (b) perfected security interests in and to all personalty (including the
Leases), all in accordance with the terms thereof, in each case subject only
to any applicable Permitted Encumbrances, such other Liens as are permitted
pursuant to the Loan Documents and the Liens created by the Loan Documents.
There are no mechanics', materialman's or other similar Liens or claims which
have been filed for work, labor or materials affecting any Property which are
or may be Liens prior to, or equal or coordinate with, the Lien of the
Mortgage. None of the Permitted Encumbrances affecting the any Property,
individually or in the aggregate, (a) materially interfere with the benefits
of the security intended to be provided by the Mortgage and this Agreement,
(b) materially and adversely affect the value of any Property, (c) impair the
use or operations of any Property, or (d) impair Borrowers' ability to pay the
Obligations in a timely manner.
3.1.8 No Plan Assets. As of the date hereof and throughout
the Term (i) none of Borrowers is and will not be an "employee benefit plan,"
as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, subject to Title I of ERISA, (ii) none of
the assets of any Borrower constitutes or will constitute "plan assets" of one
or more such plans within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101, (iii)
none of Borrowers is and will not be a "governmental plan" within the meaning
of Section 3(32) of ERISA, and (iv) transactions by or with any Borrower are
not and will not be subject to state statutes regulating investment of, and
fiduciary obligations with respect to, governmental plans.
3.1.9 Compliance. To Borrower's knowledge, except as may be
set forth in the reports by Planning and Zoning Resource Group obtained by
Lender, each of Borrowers and the Properties and the use thereof comply in all
material respects with all applicable Legal Requirements, including parking,
building and zoning and land use laws, ordinances, regulations and codes. None
of Borrowers is in default or violation of any order, writ, injunction, decree
or demand of any Governmental Authority, the violation of which might
materially adversely affect
32
the condition (financial or otherwise) or business of any Borrower. No
Borrower has committed any act that may give any Governmental Authority the
right to cause any Borrower to forfeit the Properties or any part thereof or
any monies paid in performance of Borrowers' Obligations under any of the Loan
Documents. Each of the Properties is used exclusively for office and other
appurtenant and related uses. Borrowers' have no actual knowledge as of the
date hereof that in the event all or any part of the Improvements are
destroyed or damaged, said Improvements can not be legally reconstructed to
their condition prior to such damage or destruction, and thereafter exist for
the same use without violating any zoning or other ordinances applicable
thereto and without the necessity of obtaining any variances or special
permits. No legal proceedings are pending or threatened with respect to the
zoning of any Property. Neither the zoning nor any other right to construct,
use or operate any Property is in any way dependent upon or related to any
property other than the Property owned by such Borrower. The use being made of
each of the Properties is in conformity with the certificate of occupancy
issued for such Property and all other restrictions, covenants and conditions
affecting such Property.
3.1.10 Financial Information. All financial data, including
the statements of cash flow and income and operating expense, that have been
delivered to Lender in respect of each Property (i) are true, complete and
correct in all material respects, (ii) accurately represent the financial
condition of such Property as of the date of such reports, and (iii) have been
prepared in accordance with the cash basis method of accounting throughout the
periods covered, except as disclosed therein. Borrowers do not have any
contingent liabilities, liabilities for taxes, unusual forward or long-term
commitments or unrealized or anticipated losses from any unfavorable
commitments that are known to any Borrower and are reasonably likely to have a
materially adverse effect on any of the Properties or the operation thereof,
except as referred to or reflected in said financial statements. Since the

the financial condition, operations or business of any Borrower or the
Properties from that set forth in said financial statements.

33
Properties, nor are there any contemplated improvements to the Properties that

Lender in writing.
3.1.15 Enforceability. The Loan Documents are not subject to
any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense by any Borrower,
including the defense of usury, nor would the operation of any of the terms of

Documents unenforceable in any material respect, and none of Borrowers has
asserted any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense with
respect thereto.
3.1.16 Assignment of Leases. The Assignment of Leases creates
a valid assignment of, or a valid security interest in, certain rights under
the Leases, subject only to a license granted to each Borrower to exercise
certain rights and to perform certain obligations of the lessor under the

payable thereunder.

the Policies.

landscaping, irrigation systems and all structural components, are in good
condition, order and repair in all material respects; there exists no
structural or other material defects or damages in any of the Properties,
whether latent or otherwise, and no Borrower has received notice from any
insurance company or bonding company of any defects or inadequacies in the
Property owned by such Borrower, or any part thereof, which would adversely
affect the insurability of the same or cause the imposition of extraordinary
premiums or charges thereon or of any termination or threatened termination of
any policy of insurance or bond.
3.1.21 Boundaries. All of the Improvements which were included
in determining the appraised value of each Property lie wholly within the
boundaries and building restriction lines of such Property, and no
improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon any Property, and no
easements or other encumbrances affecting any Property encroach upon any of
34
the Improvements, so as to affect the value or marketability of any Property,

all of which are held by each Borrower in accordance with the terms of the
applicable Lease and applicable Legal Requirements. Each Tenant is free from
bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings. No Tenant under any Lease (or any
sublease) is an Affiliate of any Borrower, except as may be otherwise

warrants to, and covenants with, Lender with regard to itself only and no

(a) None of Borrowers owns or will own any asset or
property other than (i) its respective Property and (ii) incidental personal

contract or agreement with any Affiliate of any Borrower, any constituent
party of any Borrower or any Affiliate of any constituent party, except upon
terms and conditions that are intrinsically fair and substantially similar to
those that would be available on an arms-length basis with third parties other
than any such party.
(d) Such Borrower has not incurred and will not incur any
Indebtedness other than (i) the Debt, and (ii) unsecured trade payables and
short term operational debt not evidenced by a note and in an aggregate
amount, including such trade payables and debt of any other Borrower, not
exceeding $5,000,000.00 in the aggregate at any one time; provided that any
Indebtedness incurred pursuant to subclause (ii) shall be (A) outstanding not
more than sixty (60) days, and (B) incurred in the ordinary course of business
(the Indebtedness described in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) is referred
to herein, collectively, as "Permitted Indebtedness"). No Indebtedness other
than the Debt may be secured (subordinate or pari passu) by any of the
Properties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as no Event of Default
shall have occurred and remain uncured under this Agreement, Borrowers shall
be allowed to borrow Permitted Mezzanine Debt subsequent to the Closing Date;

Debt, (i) Borrowers shall provide written notice to Lender of any proposed

interest in any of the Properties or any Borrower.
(e) Such Borrower has not made and will not make any loans
or advances to any third party (including any Affiliate or constituent party),
and has not and shall not acquire securities of its Affiliates.
(f) Such Borrower is and will remain solvent and, except as
contemplated by this Agreement wherein Borrowers are jointly and severally
liable, such Borrower will pay its debts and liabilities (including, as
applicable, shared personnel and overhead expenses) from its assets as the
same shall become due.
36
(g) Such Borrower has done or caused to be done, and will
do, all things necessary to observe organizational formalities and preserve
its existence, and such Borrower will not (i) terminate or fail to comply with
the provisions of its organizational documents, or (ii) unless (A) Lender has
consented and (B) following a Securitization of the Loan, the applicable
Rating Agencies have issued a Rating Agency Confirmation, amend, modify or
otherwise change its operating agreement or other organizational documents in
any material respect, provided that any amendment or modification to
provisions required to be included in Borrowers' organizational documents
pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed material.
(h) Such Borrower will maintain separate books, records,
financial statements and bank accounts from those of its Affiliates and any

Affiliates provided that appropriate notation shall be made on such
consolidated financial statements to indicate the separateness of such
Borrower. Such Borrower will file its own tax returns (to the extent such

(j) Such Borrower has maintained and intends to maintain
adequate capital for the normal obligations reasonably foreseeable in a
business of its size and character and in light of its contemplated business
operations.

seek or effect the liquidation, dissolution, winding up, consolidation, asset
sale or merger, in whole or in part, of such Borrower.

funds and other assets of such Borrower with those of any Affiliate or
constituent party or any other Person, and has held and will hold all of its
assets in its own name.

a manner that it will not be costly or difficult to segregate, ascertain or
identify its individual assets from those of any Affiliate or constituent
party or any other Person.

any other Person and does not and will not hold itself out to be responsible

requires an unanimous vote of the board of directors or managers, including
the Independent Directors of such Borrower unless at the time of such action
there shall be at least two (2) members of the board of directors who are
Independent Directors (and such Independent Directors shall have participated
in such vote). Such Borrower will not without the unanimous written consent of

Borrower shall, without any action of any Person and simultaneously with Sole
Member ceasing to be a member of such Borrower, automatically be admitted as
the sole member of such Borrower (the "Special Member") and shall preserve and
continue the existence of such Borrower without dissolution. The
organizational documents of such Borrower shall further provide that for so
long as any portion of the Obligations is outstanding, no Special Member may

representative of such last remaining member shall be authorized to, and
shall, within ninety (90) days after the occurrence of the event that
terminated the continued membership of such member in such Borrower, agree in
writing (I) to continue the existence of such Borrower, and (II) to the
admission of the personal representative or its nominee or designee, as the
case may be, as a substitute member of such Borrower, effective as of the
occurrence of the event that terminated the continued membership of such
member in such Borrower; (iii) the bankruptcy of Sole Member or a Special
Member shall not cause such Sole Member or Special Member, respectively, to

permitted by law, each of Sole Member and the Special Member shall irrevocably
waive any right or power that they might have to cause such Borrower or any of
its assets to be partitioned, to cause the appointment of a receiver for all
or any portion of the assets of such Borrower, to compel any sale of all or
any portion of the assets of such Borrower pursuant to any applicable law or
to file a complaint or to institute any proceeding at law or in equity to
cause the dissolution, liquidation, winding up or termination of such
Borrower.
(t) Such Borrower shall conduct its business so that the
assumptions made with respect to such Borrower in the Insolvency Opinion shall
be true and correct in all respects. In connection with the foregoing, such
Borrower hereby covenants and agrees that it will comply
39
with or cause the compliance with, (i) all of the facts and assumptions
(whether regarding such Borrower or any other Person) set forth in the
Insolvency Opinion, (ii) all of the representations, warranties and covenants
in this Section 3.1.24, and (iii) all of the organizational documents of such
Borrower.
(u) Such Borrower will not permit any Affiliate or
constituent party, other than any other Borrower and other than Sole Member,
in its capacity as the manager of such Borrower, independent access to its
bank accounts.
(v) Such Borrower shall pay the salaries of its own
employees (if any) from its own funds and maintain a sufficient number of

transaction or any Loan Document with the actual intent to hinder, delay, or
defraud any creditor, and (ii) failed to receive reasonably equivalent value

Loan, the fair saleable value of Borrowers' aggregate assets exceeds and will,
immediately following the making of the Loan, exceed Borrowers' aggregate
total liabilities, including subordinated, unliquidated, disputed and
contingent liabilities. The fair saleable value of Borrowers' aggregate assets
is, and immediately following the making of the Loan, will be, greater than
Borrowers' probable aggregate liabilities, including the maximum amount of its
contingent liabilities on its debts as such debts become absolute and matured.
Borrowers' aggregate assets do not and, immediately following the making of
the Loan will not, constitute unreasonably small capital to carry out its
business as conducted or as proposed to be conducted. None of Borrowers
intends to, and does not believe that it will, incur Indebtedness and
liabilities (including contingent liabilities and other commitments) beyond
its ability to pay such Indebtedness and liabilities as they mature (taking

and the amounts to be payable on or in respect of the obligations of such
Borrower).

Borrower sends a second request containing a legend clearly marked in
not less than fourteen (14) point bold face type, underlined, in all
capital letters "REQUEST DEEMED APPROVED IF NO RESPONSE WITHIN FIVE (5)

the aggregate economics of the transaction are no less favorable to
Borrower than as set forth in the term sheet; and
(iv) in the event that Lender shall have approved (or
be deemed to have approved) a term sheet submitted by any such Borrower

located in an area that is an earthquake zone 3 or zone 4, provided that
the insurance pursuant to clauses (y) and (z) hereof shall be on terms
consistent with the comprehensive all risk insurance policy required
under this subsection (i); and provided, further, that the insurance
pursuant to clause (z) shall be provided by an insurance carrier
acceptable to Lender and pursuant to a policy in form and substance
acceptable to Lender and in an amount equal to the greatest of (A) full
replacement cost (without deduction for depreciation), or (B) such
amount as would not cause the insurer to deem any Borrower to be a
co-insurer under said policy;
53
(ii) Commercial general liability insurance,
including comprehensive coverages against claims for personal injury,
bodily injury, death or property damage occurring upon, in or about such
Property, such insurance (A) to be on the so-called "occurrence" form
and containing minimum limits per occurrence of One Million and No/100
Dollars ($1,000,000.00), with a combined limit per policy year,
excluding umbrella coverage, of not less than Two Million and No/100
Dollars ($2,000,000.00); (B) to continue at not less than the aforesaid

at least the following hazards: (1) premises and operations; (2)
products and completed operations on an "if any" basis; (3) independent
contractors; (4) contractual liability for all insured contracts; and
(5) contractual liability covering the indemnities contained in Article
9 of the Mortgage to the extent the same is available;

of income will be insured until such income either returns to the same
level it was at prior to the loss, or the expiration of twelve (12)
months from the date that such Property is repaired or replaced and
operations are resumed, whichever first occurs, and notwithstanding that
the policy may expire prior to the end of such period; and (D) in an
amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the projected Gross
Revenue from such Property for a period of thirty (30) months from the
date that such Property is repaired or replaced and operations are
resumed. The amount of such business income insurance shall be
determined prior to the date hereof and at least once each year
thereafter based on such Borrower's reasonable estimate of the Gross
Revenue from such Property for the succeeding thirty (30) month period.
All proceeds payable to Lender pursuant to this subsection shall be held
by Lender and shall be applied to the Obligations secured by the Loan
Documents from time to time due and payable hereunder and under the
Note; provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall be deemed
to relieve Borrowers of their Obligations to pay the Debt on the
respective dates of payment provided for in the Note and the other Loan
Documents except to the extent such amounts are actually paid out of the
proceeds of such business income insurance;
(iv) at all times during which structural
construction, repairs or alterations are being made with respect to the
Improvements, and only if such Property coverage form does not otherwise
apply, (A) owner's contingent or protective liability insurance covering
claims not covered by or under the terms or provisions of the
above-mentioned commercial general liability insurance policy; and (B)
the insurance provided for in subsection (i) above written in a

time to time by Lender in respect of any work or operations on or about
such Property, or in connection with such Property or its operation (if
applicable);
(vi) comprehensive boiler and machinery insurance, if
applicable, in amounts as shall be reasonably required by Lender on
terms consistent with the commercial property insurance policy required
under subsection (i) above;
(vii) umbrella liability insurance in addition to
primary coverage in an amount not less than Fifty Million and 00/100
Dollars ($50,000,000.00) per occurrence on terms consistent with the
commercial general liability insurance policy required under subsection
(ii) above and (viii) below;
(viii) motor vehicle liability coverage for all owned
and non-owned vehicles, including rented and leased vehicles containing
minimum limits per occurrence, including umbrella coverage, with limits
which are required from time to time by Lender;
(ix) windstorm insurance in an amount equal to one
hundred percent (100%) of the "Full Replacement Cost" of such Property;

($10,000.00); and

reasonable insurance and in such reasonable amounts as Lender from time
to time may reasonably request against such other insurable hazards
which at the time are commonly insured against for properties similar to
such Property located in or around the region in which such Property is
located.
(b) All insurance provided for in Section 5.1.1(a) shall be
obtained under valid and enforceable policies (collectively, the "Policies" or
in the singular, the "Policy") and shall be subject to the reasonable approval
of Lender as to form and substance, including deductibles, loss payees and
insureds. Not less than ten (10) days prior to the expiration dates of the
Policies theretofore furnished to Lender, certificates of insurance evidencing
the Policies accompanied by evidence satisfactory to Lender of payment of the
premiums then due thereunder (the "Insurance Premiums"), shall be delivered by
Borrowers to Lender.
(c) Any blanket insurance Policy shall specifically
allocate to each Property the amount of coverage from time to time required
hereunder and shall otherwise provide the same protection as would a separate
Policy insuring only a single Property in compliance with the provisions of
Section 5.1.1(a).
(d) All Policies of insurance provided for or contemplated
by Section 5.1.1(a), except for the Policy referenced in Section 5.1.1(a)(v),
shall name the appropriate Borrower or Borrowers as the insured and Lender and
its successors and/or assigns as the additional insured,
55
as its interests may appear, and in the case of property damage, boiler and
machinery, flood and earthquake insurance, shall contain a so-called New York
standard non-contributing mortgagee clause in favor of Lender providing that
the loss thereunder shall be payable to Lender. Additionally, if any Borrower
obtains property insurance coverage in addition to or in excess of that
required by Section 5.1.1(a)(i), then such insurance policies shall also
contain a so-called New York standard non-contributing mortgagee clause in
favor of Lender providing that the loss thereunder shall be payable to Lender.
(e) All Policies of insurance provided for in Section
5.1.1(a), except for the Policies referenced in Section 5.1.1(a)(v) and
(a)(viii) shall contain clauses or endorsements to the effect that:
(i) no act or negligence of any Borrower, or anyone
acting for any Borrower, or of any Tenant or other occupant, or failure
to comply with the provisions of any Policy, which might otherwise
result in a forfeiture of the insurance or any part thereof, shall in
any way affect the validity or enforceability of the insurance insofar
as Lender is concerned;
(ii) the Policy shall not be canceled without at
least thirty (30) days' written notice to Lender and any other party
named therein as an additional insured and, if obtainable by any
Borrower using commercially reasonable efforts, shall not be materially
changed (other than to increase the coverage provided thereby) without
such a thirty (30) day notice or, in the case of cancellation for
non-payment of any premium, ten (10) days; and
(iii) Lender shall not be liable for any Insurance
Premiums thereon or subject to any assessments thereunder.
(f) If at any time Lender is not in receipt of written
evidence that all insurance required hereunder is in full force and effect,
Lender shall have the right, without notice to any Borrower, to take such
action as Lender deems necessary to protect its interest in the Properties,
including the obtaining of such insurance coverage as Lender in its sole
discretion deems appropriate and all premiums incurred by Lender in connection
with such action or in obtaining such insurance and keeping it in effect shall
be paid by Borrowers to Lender upon demand and until paid shall be secured by
the Mortgage and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.
(g) In the event of foreclosure of the Mortgage or other
transfer of title to any of the Properties in extinguishment in whole or in
part of the Obligations, all right, title and interest of Borrowers in and to
the Policies that are not blanket Policies then in force concerning any of the
Properties and all proceeds payable thereunder shall thereupon vest in the
purchaser at such foreclosure or Lender or other transferee in the event of
such other transfer of title.
(h) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the
contrary, Borrowers shall be required to obtain and maintain either (i) the
Policies described in Section 5.1.1(a)(i), (ii), (iii), (vi) and (vii) (the
"Non-Exclusion Policies") which do not contain exclusions for loss, cost,
damage or liability caused by "terrorism" or "terrorist acts" (a "Terrorism
Exclusion"), either foreign or domestic, no matter how defined in the
Non-Exclusion Policies, or (ii) in the
56
event Borrower cannot obtain Non-Exclusion Policies which do not contain a
Terrorism Exclusion, one or more blanket terrorism Policies (the "Blanket
Terrorism Policies") covering the full amount of the loss, cost, damage or
liability excluded by the applicable Terrorism Exclusion to the extent such
coverage is available to Borrowers (or their Affiliates), which Blanket
Terrorism Policies (i) have a per occurrence limit of not less than
$60,000,000.00 in respect of such terrorism coverage and an aggregate limit
acceptable to Lender considering the Properties insured under the Blanket
Terrorism Policies, (ii) provide the same protection as would Single Site
Terrorism Policies (as defined herein) in respect of each of the Properties,
(iii) are otherwise in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender,
and (iv) may cover the Properties together with other properties owned by
Affiliates of Borrowers or the Properties alone. If Borrowers are unable to
obtain or maintain such Blanket Terrorism Policies on the conditions set forth
above, then each Borrower shall obtain and maintain a separate Policy covering
the full amount of the loss, cost, damage or liability excluded by the
applicable Terrorism Exclusion to the extent such coverage is available to
such Borrower (or its Affiliate), but only in respect of the Property owned by
such Borrower (collectively, the "Single Site Terrorism Policies"; and either
the Blanket Terrorism Policies or the Single Site Terrorism Policies, as
applicable, each a "Terrorism Policy", and collectively, the "Terrorism
Policies" ) which Single Site Terrorism Policies (i) provide for annual
insurance premiums which, in the aggregate, do not exceed the Terrorism
Insurance Cap, and (ii) are otherwise in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to Lender. All Terrorism Policies shall be from a carrier which
otherwise satisfies the rating criteria specified in Section 5.1.2 (a
"Qualified Carrier") or, in the event that any such Terrorism Policy is not
available to any Borrower or its Affiliate from a Qualified Carrier, such
Borrower shall obtain such Terrorism Policy from the highest rated insurance
company, if any, offering such Terrorism Policy to such Borrower, subject to
the Terrorism Insurance Cap. Borrowers shall not be required to incur costs
(i) for the Single Site Terrorism Policies that are in excess of 150% of cost
of all Non-Exclusion Policies for each Property in the aggregate, or (ii) for
the Blanket Terrorism Policies that are in excess of 150% of cost of all
Non-Exclusion Policies for each of the Properties, in the aggregate], in
either case in respect of the annual policy period (inclusive of all premium
costs, fees and other amounts charged by the Insurer in connection with such
Terrorism Policy throughout the Policy year) (in either event, the "Terrorism
Insurance Cap"). In the event that the annual premiums for the Terrorism
Policies exceed, in the aggregate, the Terrorism Insurance Cap, Borrowers
shall be required to obtain and maintain Terrorism Policies to the extent the
same are available to Borrowers, which provide coverage for as much of the
loss, cost, damage or liability excluded by the applicable Terrorism Exclusion
as is available at a cost equal to the Terrorism Insurance Cap.
(i) Borrowers shall deliver a copy of the issued
Environmental Policy to Lender in the form of the specimen policy previously
delivered to Lender as soon as reasonably practicable (and Borrowers shall
diligently pursue obtaining such Environmental Policy) and shall at all times
during the term hereof maintain the Environmental Policy in full force and
effect in accordance with the terms thereof. Borrowers represent and warrant
that all premiums in respect of the Environmental Policy have been paid in
full.
5.1.2 Insurance Company. All Policies required pursuant to
Section 5.1.1 (i) shall be issued by companies licensed to do business in the
state or commonwealth where the Properties are located, with a financial
strength and claims paying ability rating of at least A:X from A.M. Best
Company and "A" or better by S&P and the equivalent rating by at least one
57
other Rating Agency; (ii) shall, with respect to all property insurance
policies, name Lender and its successors and/or assigns as their interest may
appear as the Lender and Mortgagee; (iii) shall, with respect to all property
insurance policies and rental loss and/or business interruption insurance
policies, contain a Standard Mortgagee Clause and a Lender's Loss Payable
Endorsement, or their equivalents, naming Lender as the person to whom all
payments made by such insurance company shall be paid; (iv) shall, with
respect to all liability policies, name Lender and its successors and/or
assigns as an additional insured; (v) shall contain a waiver of subrogation
against Lender; (vi) shall contain such provisions as Lender deems reasonably
necessary or desirable to protect its interest including endorsements
providing that none of Borrowers, Lender nor any other party shall be a
co-insurer under said Policies and that Lender shall receive at least thirty
(30) days prior written notice of any modification, reduction or cancellation
or, in the case of cancellation for non-payment of any premium, ten (10) days;
and (vii) shall be satisfactory in form and substance to Lender and shall be
approved by Lender as to amounts, form, risk coverage, deductibles, loss
payees and insureds. Certified copies of the Policies shall be delivered to
Lender, c/o UBS Real Estate Investments Inc., 1285 Avenue of the Americas,
11th Floor, New York, New York 10019, Attn: Robert Pettinato, Director, on the
date hereof with respect to the current Policies and within thirty (30) days
after the effective date thereof with respect to all renewal Policies.
Borrowers shall pay the Insurance Premiums annually in advance as the same
become due and payable and shall furnish to Lender evidence of the renewal of
each of the Policies with receipts for the payment of the Insurance Premiums
or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Lender (provided,
however, that Borrowers shall not be required to pay such Insurance Premiums
nor furnish such evidence of payment to Lender in the event that the amounts
required to pay such Insurance Premiums have been deposited into the Insurance
Account pursuant to Section 6.3 hereof). In addition to the insurance
coverages described in Section 5.1.1 above, Borrowers shall obtain such other
insurance as may from time to time be reasonably required by Lender in order
to protect its interests. Within thirty (30) days after request by Lender,
Borrowers shall obtain such increases in the amounts of coverage required
hereunder as may be reasonably requested by Lender, taking into consideration
changes in the value of money over time, changes in liability laws, changes in
prudent customs and practices, and the like.
5.2 Casualty.
(a) If any Property shall be damaged or destroyed, in
whole or in part, by fire or other casualty (a "Casualty"), the Borrower that
owns such Property shall give prompt notice thereof to Lender. Following the
occurrence of a Casualty, the Borrower that owns the affected Property,
regardless of whether Insurance Proceeds are available, shall promptly proceed
to restore, repair, replace or rebuild the same to be of at least equal value
and of substantially the same character (but not to the precise condition) as
prior to such damage or destruction, all to be effected in accordance with
applicable law (a "Restoration"). The expenses incurred by Lender in the
adjustment and collection of Insurance Proceeds shall become part of the
Obligations, shall be secured by the Loan Documents and shall be reimbursed by
Borrowers to Lender upon demand. Notwithstanding any Casualty, Borrowers shall
continue to pay the Obligations in the time and manner set forth in the Note
and in this Agreement. Upon the occurrence of any Casualty, the Borrower that
owns the affected Property shall (subject to the right of Lender to elect to
do so as set forth in Section 5.2(b)), promptly file a proof of loss with the
respective insurance company or companies insuring such Casualty.
58
(b) In the event of a Casualty where the damage to the
applicable Property does not exceed two percent (2%) of the Outstanding
Principal Balance, so long as no Event of Default has occurred, the Borrower
that owns such Property may settle and adjust any claim without the consent of
Lender and agree with the insurance company or companies on the amount to be
paid upon the loss (the "Insurance Proceeds"); provided that such adjustment
is carried out in a competent and timely manner. In such case, provided that
no Event of Default shall have occurred and the Restoration can be completed
prior to the earlier to occur of (i) the date which is six (6) months
following such Casualty, and (ii) the date which is twelve (12) months prior
to the Stated Maturity Date, each Borrower, as appropriate, is hereby
authorized to collect and receipt for any such Insurance Proceeds. In the
event that the applicable Borrower fails to promptly file a proof of loss with
respect to any Casualty or fails to promptly and diligently proceed to settle
and adjust any claims with respect thereto as required in this clause (b),
then Lender shall, at the sole cost and expense of Borrowers, have the right
to file such proof of loss, settle and adjust such claim and agree with such
insurance company or companies without the consent of Borrowers, and each
Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Lender as its attorney-in-fact, coupled
with an interest to do so. In the event of a Casualty where the damage to the
applicable Property equals or exceeds two percent (2%) of the Outstanding
Principal Balance (a "Significant Casualty"), then notwithstanding anything
set forth herein to the contrary, at the sole cost and expense of Borrowers,
Lender may elect to file the respective proof of loss, settle and adjust any
claim without the consent of each Borrower and agree with the insurance
company or companies on the amount of the Insurance Proceeds in the place and
stead of Borrowers and without the consent of Borrowers, and each Borrower
hereby irrevocably appoints Lender as its attorney-in-fact, coupled with an
interest to do so. Any Insurance Proceeds in connection with the therewith
(whether or not Lender elects to settle and adjust the claim or any Borrower
settles such claim) shall be due and payable solely to Lender and held by
Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In the event any
Borrower or any party other than Lender is a payee on any check representing
Insurance Proceeds with respect to any Casualty, such Borrower shall
immediately endorse, and cause all such third parties to endorse, such check
payable to the order of Lender. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints
Lender as its attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, to endorse any such
check payable to the order of Lender. The expenses incurred by Lender in the
adjustment and collection of Insurance Proceeds shall become part of the
Obligations, shall be secured by the Loan Documents and shall be reimbursed by
Borrowers to Lender upon demand. Each Borrower hereby releases Lender from any
and all liability with respect to the settlement and adjustment by Lender of
any claims in respect of any Casualty.
(c) In the event of loss or damages covered by any of the
Policies, the following provisions shall apply with respect to application of
Insurance Proceeds:
(i) In the event of a Casualty where the loss is in
an aggregate amount less than two percent (2%) of the original principal
balance of the Loan and if, in the reasonable judgment of Lender, the
Restoration can be completed prior to the earlier to occur of (A) the
date which is six (6) months following such Casualty and (B) the date
which is twelve (12) months prior to the Stated Maturity Date, and if,
in the reasonable judgment of Lender, after completion of such
Restoration the Properties, together, will adequately secure the
Outstanding Principal Balance and will have a value at least equal to
the value immediately prior to such Casualty, then, if no Event of
Default shall have
59
occurred, the Net Proceeds shall be applied to reimburse the Borrower
that owns the affected Property for the cost of the Restoration in the
manner set forth below. Borrowers hereby covenant and agree to commence
and diligently to prosecute the Restoration; provided always, that
Borrowers shall pay all costs (and if required by Lender, Borrowers
shall deposit the total thereof with Lender in advance) of such
Restoration in excess of the Net Proceeds made available pursuant to the
terms hereof.
(ii) Except as provided in Section 5.2(c)(i) above
and subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.2(c)(ii), the
Insurance Proceeds collected upon any Casualty shall, at the option of
Lender in its sole discretion, be applied to the payment of the
Obligations or applied to reimburse the affected Borrower for the cost
of the Restoration in the manner set forth below. In the event Lender
elects to apply the Insurance Proceeds collected upon a Casualty to the
payment of the Obligations and provided no Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, Lender shall notify the affected Borrower of
such election in writing (a "Post Casualty Paydown Notice"). Within
thirty (30) days' receipt of a Post Casualty Paydown Notice, time being
of the essence, such affected Borrower may deliver notice to Lender of
its intention to obtain a release of the affected Property from the lien
of the Mortgage by payment to Lender, no later than seventy-five (75)
days following delivery of a Post Casualty Paydown Notice, time being of
the essence, of an amount equal to one hundred ten percent (110%) of the
Allocated Loan Amount in respect of such Property, less any Insurance
Proceeds held by Lender in respect of such affected Property (a "Post
Casualty Par Paydown") without the payment of any Yield Maintenance
Premium. In the event Lender applies the Insurance Proceeds collected
upon a Casualty to the payment of the Obligations in accordance with
this Section 5.2(c)(ii), then, throughout the term of the Loan, if a
Default or an Event of Default has occurred, Borrowers shall pay to
Lender, with respect to any such payment of the Debt, an additional
amount equal to the Yield Maintenance Premium; provided, however, that
if a Default or an Event of Default has not occurred, then the Yield
Maintenance Premium shall not be payable. Any such application to the
Debt, whether at Lender's election or by virtue of a Post Casualty Par
Paydown, shall be applied (A) first, to those payments of interest last
due under this Agreement but shall not postpone any payments otherwise
required pursuant hereunder other than such last due payments and (B)
second, the balance, in reduction of the Outstanding Principal Balance.
(iii) In the event any Borrower is entitled to
reimbursement out of the Net Proceeds held by Lender, such Insurance
Proceeds shall be disbursed from time to time by Lender so long as the
following conditions have been satisfied:
(A) no Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing;
(B) Leases requiring payment of annual rent
equal to ninety percent (90%) of the Gross Revenue received by
such Borrower during the twelve (12) month period immediately
preceding the Casualty and all Leases shall remain in full force
and effect during and after the completion of the Restoration
without abatement of rent beyond the time required for
Restoration, notwithstanding the occurrence of such Casualty;
60
(C) the Borrower that owns the affected
Property shall commence the Restoration as soon as reasonably
practicable (but in no event later than sixty (60) days after such
Casualty occurs) and shall diligently pursue the same to
satisfactory completion;
(D) Lender shall be satisfied that any
operating deficits and all payments of principal and interest
under the Note will be paid during the period required for
Restoration from (A) the Net Proceeds, or (B) other funds of
Borrowers;
(E) Lender shall be satisfied that the
Restoration will be completed on or before the earliest to occur
of (1) the date six (6) months prior to the Stated Maturity Date,
(2) the earliest date required for such completion under the terms
of any Lease, (3) such time as may be required under applicable
Legal Requirements in order to repair and restore the affected
Property to the condition it was in immediately prior to such
Casualty, or (4) three (3) months prior to the expiration of the
insurance coverage referred to in Section 5.1.1(a)(iii);
(F) the affected Property and the use thereof
after the Restoration will be in compliance with and permitted
under all applicable Legal Requirements;
(G) the Restoration shall be done and
completed by such Borrower in an expeditious and diligent fashion
and in compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements; and
(H) such Casualty does not result in the loss
of access to the Properties or the related Improvements.
5.3 Condemnation.
(a) Each Borrower shall promptly give Lender written notice
of the actual or threatened commencement of any Condemnation with respect to
all or any portion of the Property owned by such Borrower and shall deliver to
Lender copies of any and all papers served in connection with such
Condemnation. Following the occurrence of a Condemnation, the Borrower that
owns such Property, regardless of whether an Award is available, shall
promptly proceed with the Restoration.
(b) Any and all awards or payments (each, an "Award") for
any taking accomplished through a Condemnation or any transfer of any
Property, or any portion thereof, in lieu of, or in anticipation of, a
Condemnation (any of the foregoing, a "Taking") are hereby assigned by each
Borrower to Lender and Lender is hereby authorized to make any compromise or
settlement in connection with such Condemnation, subject to the provisions of
this Agreement.
(c) In the event of any Condemnation where the Award is in
an aggregate amount less than ten percent (10%) of the original principal
balance of the Loan, and if, in the reasonable judgment of Lender, the
Restoration can be completed prior to the earlier to occur of
61
(i) the date which is twelve (12) months following such Taking, and (ii) the
date which is six (6) months prior to the Stated Maturity Date, and if, in the
reasonable judgment of Lender, after the completion of such Restoration the
Properties will adequately secure the Outstanding Principal Balance and will
have a value at least equal to the value immediately prior to such Taking,
then, if no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Net
Proceeds shall be applied to reimburse Borrowers for the cost of the
Restoration, and such Award shall be disbursed in the same manner as provided
in Section 5.2(c)(iii) for the application of Insurance Proceeds. Borrowers
hereby covenant and agree to commence and diligently to prosecute the
Restoration; provided always, that Borrowers shall pay all costs (and if
required by Lender, Borrowers shall deposit the total thereof with Lender in
advance) of the Restoration in excess of the Award made available pursuant to
the terms hereof. Any surplus which may remain out of the Award received by
Lender after payment of such costs of the Restoration shall, in the sole and
absolute discretion of Lender, be retained by Lender and applied to payment of
the Obligations.
(d) Except as provided in Section 5.3(c) above, the Award
collected upon any Condemnation shall, at the option of Lender in its sole
discretion, be applied to the payment of the Obligations or applied to
reimburse any Borrower for the cost of the Restoration in the same manner as
provided in Section 5.2(c)(iii) hereof for the application of Insurance
Proceeds. Throughout the term of the Loan if a Default or an Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing, then Borrowers shall pay to Lender, with
respect to any payment of the Obligations pursuant to this paragraph, an
additional amount equal to the Yield Maintenance Premium; provided, however,
that if a Default or an Event of Default has not occurred, then the Yield
Maintenance Premium shall not be payable. Any such application to the Debt
shall (i) be applied to those payments of principal and interest last due
under this Agreement but shall not postpone or reduce any payments otherwise
required hereunder other than such last due payments and (ii) not cause or
result in the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount to be re-cast based upon the
reduction of the Outstanding Principal Balance and the number of months
remaining until the Maturity Date. If the Property is sold, through
foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Lender of such Award, Lender
shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Note shall
be recoverable or shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive all
or a portion of said Award sufficient to pay the Obligations.
(e) Notwithstanding any Taking by any Governmental
Authority (including, without limitation, any transfer made in lieu of or in
anticipation of such a Taking), Borrowers shall continue to pay the
Obligations at the time and in the manner provided for in the Note, in this
Agreement and in the other Loan Documents and the Obligations shall not be
reduced unless and until any Award shall have been actually received and
applied by Lender to expenses of collecting the Award and to discharge of the
Obligations.
5.4 Casualty and Condemnation Proceeds. Payments received on account
of the business interruption insurance specified in Section 5.1.1(a)(iii)
above with respect to any Casualty or Condemnation shall be deposited directly
into the Casualty and Condemnation Account. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, if in connection with a Casualty any insurance
company makes a payment under a property insurance Policy that any Borrower
proposes be treated as business or rental interruption insurance, then,
notwithstanding any designation (or lack of designation) by the insurance
company as to the purpose of such payment, as between Lender and Borrowers,
such payment shall not be treated as business or
62
rental interruption Insurance Proceeds (with any earnings or interest thereon
payable to Borrowers) unless Borrowers have demonstrated to Lender's
satisfaction that the remaining Net Proceeds that will be received from the
property insurance companies are sufficient to pay one hundred percent (100%)
of the cost of the Restoration or, if such Net Proceeds are to be applied to
repay the Obligations in accordance with the terms hereof, that such remaining
Net Proceeds will be sufficient to satisfy the Obligations in full.
5.5 Additional Conditions for Disbursement of Net Proceeds.
(a) All plans and specifications required in connection
with the Restoration shall be subject to the prior approval of Lender and an
independent architect selected by Lender (the "Casualty Consultant"), such
approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The plans and
specifications shall require that the Restoration be completed in a
first-class workmanlike manner at least equivalent to the quality and
character of the original work in the Improvements (provided, however, that in
the case of a partial Condemnation, the Restoration shall be done to the
extent reasonably practicable after taking into account the consequences of
such partial Condemnation), so that upon completion thereof, the affected
Property shall be at least equal in value and general utility to the affected
Property prior to the Casualty or Condemnation, as applicable; it being
understood, however, that Borrowers shall not be obligated to restore the
affected Property to the precise condition of the affected Property prior to
such Casualty or Condemnation, as applicable, provided the affected Property
is restored, to the extent practicable, to be of at least equal value and of
substantially the same character as prior to the Casualty or Condemnation, as
applicable. Borrowers shall restore all Improvements such that when they are
fully restored and/or repaired, such Improvements and their contemplated use
fully comply with all applicable material Legal Requirements. The identity of
the contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration, as
well as the contracts under which they have been engaged, shall be subject to
the reasonable approval of Lender and the Casualty Consultant. All costs and
expenses incurred by Lender in connection with recovering, holding and
advancing the Net Proceeds for the Restoration, including reasonable
attorneys' fees and disbursements and the Casualty Consultant's fees and
disbursements, shall be paid by Borrowers.
(b) In no event shall Lender be obligated to make
disbursements of the Net Proceeds in excess of an amount equal to the costs
actually incurred from time to time for work in place as part of the
Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, less the Casualty
Retainage. The term "Casualty Retainage" shall mean, as to each contractor,
subcontractor or materialman engaged in the Restoration, an amount equal to
five percent (5%) of the costs actually incurred for work in place as part of
the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, until the
Restoration has been completed. The Casualty Retainage shall in no event, and
notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above in this Section
5.5(b), be less than the amount actually held back by any Borrower from
contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration. The
Casualty Retainage shall not be released until the Casualty Consultant
certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with
the provisions of this Article 5 and that all approvals necessary for the
re-occupancy and use of the affected Property have been obtained from all
appropriate Governmental Authorities, and Lender receives evidence
satisfactory to Lender that the costs of the Restoration have been paid in
full or will be paid in full out of the Casualty Retainage; provided, however,
that Lender will release the portion of the Casualty Retainage being held with
respect to any contractor,
63
subcontractor or materialman engaged in the Restoration as of the date upon
which (i) the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that such contractor,
subcontractor or materialman has satisfactorily completed all work and has
supplied all materials in accordance with the provisions of such contractor's,
subcontractor's or materialman's contract, (ii) the contractor, subcontractor
or materialman delivers the lien waivers and evidence of payment in full of
all sums due to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman as may be
reasonably requested by Lender or by the title company issuing the Title
Insurance Policy, and (iii) Lender receives an endorsement to the Title
Insurance Policy insuring the continued priority of the Lien of the Mortgage
and evidence of payment of any premium payable for such endorsement. If
required by Lender, the release of any such portion of the Casualty Retainage
shall be approved by the surety company, if any, which has issued a payment or
performance bond with respect to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman.
(c) Lender shall not be obligated to make disbursements of
the Net Proceeds more frequently than once every calendar month.
(d) If at any time the Net Proceeds or the undisbursed
balance thereof shall not, in the reasonable opinion of Lender in consultation
with the Casualty Consultant, be sufficient to pay in full the balance of the
costs which are estimated by the Casualty Consultant to be incurred in
connection with the completion of the Restoration, Borrowers shall, at their
option (within a reasonable period of time after receipt of such estimate)
either deposit with or deliver to Lender as the Net Proceeds Deficiency (and,
if a Securitization has occurred, promptly following any such deposit or
delivery, Borrower shall provide written notice of same to the Rating
Agencies): (1) cash and cash equivalents, (2) a Letter of Credit or Letters of
Credit in an amount equal to the estimated cost of the Restoration less the
Net Proceeds available or (3) such other evidence of Borrower's ability to
meet such excess costs and which is satisfactory to Lender and the Rating
Agencies. From time to time as the Restoration progresses, the amount of any
cash or cash equivalents so furnished to Lender as the Net Proceeds Deficiency
shall be subject to disbursement by Lender to Borrower in the same manner as
if such amounts were Net Proceeds and any Letter of Credit so furnished to
Lender as the Net Proceeds Deficiency shall be subject to reduction by Lender
in the same manner as if the amounts of such Letter of Credit were Net
Proceeds, provided that Lender shall have the right in its discretion to
disburse Net Proceeds and/or such Net Proceeds Deficiency in such order and
amounts as Lender determines.
(e) The excess, if any, of the Net Proceeds and the
remaining balance, if any, of the Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with
Lender (whether as cash, cash equivalents or letters of credit) after the
Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been
completed in accordance with the provisions of this Article 5, and the receipt
by Lender of evidence satisfactory to Lender that all costs incurred in
connection with the Restoration have been paid in full, shall be remitted by
Lender to Borrowers, provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and
shall be continuing under any of the Loan Documents. As applicable, (i) all
Net Proceeds not required to be made available for the Restoration, and/or
(ii) any excess Net Proceeds remaining after the Casualty Consultant certifies
to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the
provisions of this Article 5, and the receipt by Lender of evidence
satisfactory to Lender that all costs incurred in connection with the
Restoration have been paid in full, may be retained and applied by Lender
toward the payment of the Obligations,
64
whether or not then due and payable, in such order, priority and proportions
as Lender in its sole discretion shall deem proper without penalty.
ARTICLE 6
CASH MANAGEMENT AND RESERVE FUNDS
---------------------------------
6.1 Cash Management Arrangements. Borrowers shall cause all Rents to
be transmitted directly by tenants of the Property owned by each Borrower into
a trust account (the "Clearing Account") established and maintained by
Borrowers at a local bank selected by Borrowers and approved by Lender (the
"Clearing Bank") as more fully described in the Clearing Account Agreement.
Without in any way limiting the foregoing, if any Borrower or Manager receives
any Gross Revenue from any Property, then (i) such amounts shall be deemed to
be collateral for the Obligations and shall be held in trust for the benefit,
and as the property, of Lender, (ii) such amounts shall not be commingled with
any other funds or property of any Borrower or Manager, and (iii) such
Borrower or Manager shall deposit such amounts in the Clearing Account within
one (1) Business Day of receipt. Funds deposited into the Clearing Account
shall be swept by the Clearing Bank on a daily basis into the Borrower's
operating account at Clearing Bank, unless an Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, in which event such funds shall be swept on a
daily basis into an Eligible Account at the Deposit Bank controlled by Lender
(the "Deposit Account") and applied and disbursed in accordance with this
Agreement and the Cash Management Agreement. Funds in the Deposit Account
shall be invested in Permitted Investments, as more particularly set forth in
the Cash Management Agreement. Lender may also establish subaccounts of the
Deposit Account which shall at all times be Eligible Accounts and may be
ledger or book entry accounts and not actual accounts (such subaccounts are
referred to herein as "Accounts"). The Clearing Account, the Deposit Account
and all other Accounts will be under the sole control and dominion of Lender,
and Borrowers, except as set forth above or in the Clearing Account Agreement,
shall have no right of withdrawal therefrom. Borrowers shall pay for all
expenses of opening and maintaining all of the above accounts.
6.2 Required Repairs Funds.
6.2.1 Deposit of Required Repairs Funds. Each Borrower shall
perform the repairs and other work at the affected Property as set forth on
Schedule VI (such repairs and other work hereinafter referred to as "Required
Repairs") and shall complete each of the Required Repairs on or before the
respective deadline for each repair as set forth on Schedule VI. Subject to
the terms of Section 6.11, on the Closing Date, each Borrower shall deposit
with or on behalf of Lender the amount, if any, set forth on such Schedule VI
for the Property held by such Borrower to perform the Required Repairs at such
Property (the "Required Repairs Funds"). All Required Repairs Funds shall be
transferred by Deposit Bank into an Account established to hold such funds
(the "Required Repairs Account").

request is received by Lender and on the date such payment is to be made, no
Event of Default shall exist and remain uncured; and (iii) Lender shall have
received (1) an Officer's Certificate from such Borrower (A) stating that all
Required Repairs to be funded by the requested disbursement have been
completed in a good and workmanlike manner and in accordance with all
applicable Legal Requirements, (B) identifying each Person that supplied
materials or labor in connection with the Required Repairs to be funded by the
requested disbursement, (C) stating that each such Person has been paid in
full or will be paid in full upon such disbursement, (D) stating that the
Required Repairs to be funded have not been the subject of a previous
disbursement, (E) stating that all previous disbursements of Required Repair
Funds have been used to pay the previously identified Required Repairs, and

any Governmental Authority required in connection with the Required Repairs
and not previously delivered to Lender, (3) lien waivers or other evidence of
payment satisfactory to Lender, (4) at Lender's option, a title search for the
applicable Property indicating that such Property is free from all Liens,
claims and other encumbrances not previously approved by Lender, and (5) such
other evidence as Lender shall reasonably request to demonstrate that the
Required Repairs to be funded by the requested disbursement have been
completed and are paid for or will be paid upon such disbursement to Borrower.
Lender shall not be required to disburse Required Repairs Funds more
frequently than once each calendar month on the same day of such month as any
other Reserve Funds are being disbursed in accordance with the terms hereof,
and the aggregate funding of Reserve Funds in any month shall equal or exceed
the Minimum Disbursement Amount. Upon the completion of all Required Repairs
for all Properties in accordance with this Section 6.2, Lender shall direct
Servicer to release any remaining Required Repairs Funds, if any, in the
Required Repairs Account to Borrowers.

Repairs; or (iv) obligate Lender to demand from any Borrower additional sums

during normal business hours (subject to the rights of Tenants under their
Leases) to inspect the progress of any Required Repairs and all materials
being used in connection therewith and to examine all plans and shop drawings
relating to such Required Repairs. Each Borrower shall cause all contractors
and subcontractors to cooperate with Lender or Lender's representatives or
such other Persons described above in connection with inspections described in
this Section 6.2.2(c).
(d) If a disbursement of Required Repair Funds will exceed
$25,000.00, Lender may require an inspection of the applicable Property at the
applicable Borrower's expense prior to making a disbursement of Required
Repairs Funds in order to verify completion
66
of the Required Repairs for which reimbursement is sought. Lender may require
that such inspection be conducted by an appropriate independent qualified
professional selected by Lender and may require a certificate of completion by
an independent qualified professional architect acceptable to Lender prior to
the disbursement of Required Repairs Funds. The applicable Borrower shall pay
the expense of the inspection as required hereunder, whether such inspection
is conducted by Lender or by an independent qualified professional architect.
(e) In addition to any insurance required under the Loan
Documents, Borrowers shall provide or cause to be provided workmen's
compensation insurance, builder's risk insurance, public liability insurance
and other insurance to the extent required under applicable law in connection

transferred into an Account established at Deposit Bank to hold such funds
(the "Tax Account"). Amounts deposited from time to time into the Tax Account
pursuant to this Section 6.3.1 are referred to herein as the "Tax Funds". If
at any time Lender reasonably determines that the Tax Funds will not be
sufficient to pay the Taxes, Lender shall notify Borrowers of such
determination and the monthly deposits for Taxes shall be increased by the
amount that Lender estimates is sufficient to make up the deficiency at least
ten (10) days prior to the respective due dates for the Taxes; provided that,
if Borrowers receive notice of any deficiency after the date that is ten (10)
days prior to the date that Taxes are due, Borrowers will deposit with or on
behalf of Lender such amount within one (1) Business Day after its receipt of
such notice.
6.3.2 Release of Tax Funds. Provided no Event of Default
shall exist and remain uncured, Lender shall direct Servicer to apply the Tax
Funds in the Tax Account to payments of Taxes. In making any payment relating
to Taxes, Lender may do so according to any bill, statement or estimate
procured from the appropriate public office (with respect to Taxes) without
inquiry into the accuracy of such bill, statement or estimate or into the
validity of any tax, assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim
thereof. If the amount of the Tax Funds shall exceed the amounts due for
Taxes, Lender shall, in its sole discretion, return any excess to Borrowers or

shall be transferred into an Account established at Deposit Bank to hold such
funds (the "Insurance Account"). Amounts deposited from time to time into the
Insurance Account pursuant to this Section 6.4.1 are referred to herein as the
"Insurance Funds". If at any time Lender reasonably determines that the
Insurance Funds will not be sufficient to pay the Insurance Premiums, Lender
shall notify Borrowers of such determination and the monthly deposits for
Insurance Premiums shall be increased by the amount that Lender estimates is
sufficient to make up the deficiency at least thirty (30) days prior to
expiration of the Policies.

apply all or any part thereof to the payment of the items for which such
Letter of Credit was established or to apply each such Letter of Credit to
payment of the Debt in such order, proportion or priority as Lender may
determine. Any such application to the Debt shall be subject to the Yield
Maintenance Premium due hereunder.
6.10.3 Additional Rights of Lender. In addition to any other
right Lender may have to draw upon a Letter of Credit pursuant to the terms
and conditions of this Agreement, Lender shall have the additional rights to
draw in full any Letter of Credit: (a) with respect to any evergreen Letter of
Credit, if Lender has received a notice from the issuing bank that the Letter
of Credit will not be renewed and a substitute Letter of Credit is not
provided at least thirty (30) days prior to the date on which the outstanding
Letter of Credit is scheduled to expire; (b) with respect to any Letter of
Credit with a stated expiration date, if Lender has not received a notice from
the issuing bank that it has renewed the Letter of Credit at least thirty (30)
days prior to the date on which such Letter of Credit is scheduled to expire
and a substitute Letter of Credit is not provided at least thirty (30) days
prior to the date on which the outstanding Letter of Credit is scheduled to
expire; (c) upon receipt of notice from the issuing bank that the Letter of
Credit will be terminated (except if the termination of such Letter of Credit
is permitted pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement or a
substitute Letter of Credit is provided); (d) if Lender has received notice
that the bank issuing the Letter of Credit shall cease to be an Eligible
Institution and Borrower has not substituted a Letter of Credit from an
Eligible Institution within ten (10) Business Days after notice or (e) if the
bank issuing the Letter of Credit shall not consent to the assignment of the
Letter of Credit to such party as Lender shall request and Borrower has not
substituted a Letter of Credit from an Eligible Institution within ten (10)
Business Days after receiving notice from Lender of such failure to consent by
the issuing bank. If Lender draws upon a Letter of Credit pursuant to the
terms and conditions of this Agreement, Lender shall
73
apply all or any part thereof for the purposes for which such Letter of Credit
was established. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the
above, Lender is not obligated to draw any Letter of Credit upon the happening
of an event specified in (a), (b), (c) (d) or (e) above and shall not be
liable for any losses sustained by Borrower due to the insolvency of the bank
issuing the Letter of Credit if Lender has not drawn the Letter of Credit.
6.11 Guaranty of Reserve Accounts.
(a) In lieu of making the payments to the Required Repairs
Account, the Rollover Account (other than deposits required pursuant to
Section 6.6.1(b)) or the Capital Expenditure Account as required under this
Agreement, Borrower may deliver to Lender a guaranty of one or more such
amounts from Reserve Guarantor in the form attached hereto as Schedule 6.11
(the "Reserve Guaranty"); provided that, throughout the term of such Reserve
Guaranty, (x) the Tangible Net Worth of Reserve Guarantor remains at least One
Hundred Million and No/100 Dollars ($100,000,000.00) (the "Required Net
Worth"), (y) the Guarantied Obligations shall not exceed, in the aggregate,
liability in excess of 10% of the Outstanding Principal Balance, and (z)
Reserve Guarantor's debt-to-equity ratio shall be no greater than 65%.
(b) In the event that at any time after a Reserve Guaranty
has been delivered, the Reserve Guarantor's Tangible Net Worth is reduced
below the Required Net Worth and/or Guarantor's debt-to-equity ratio shall be
greater than 65% (in either case which non-compliance continues for a period
of twenty-nine (29) days following Lender's receipt of Reserve Guarantor's
quarterly financial statements pursuant to the Reserve Guaranty indicating
Reserve Guarantor's failure to achieve the Required Net Worth) Borrowers shall
deposit into the Required Repairs Account, the Capital Expenditure Account
and/or the Rollover Account, as applicable, within ten (10) Business Days
after receipt of notice from Lender an amount reasonably determined by Lender
to be equal to all amounts which would have then been on deposit in the
Required Repairs Account, the Capital Expenditure Account and/or the Rollover
Account, as applicable, since the Closing Date had the foregoing waiver of
deposits not been in effect, less all amounts that would have been payable by
a disbursement from such Required Repairs Account, Capital Expenditure Account
and/or Rollover Account, as applicable, and thereafter, subject to the terms
and provisions of Sections 6.2.1, 6.5.1 and 6.6.1 hereof, Borrowers shall
commence making deposits into the Required Repairs Account, the Capital
Expenditure Account and the Rollover Account so long as the Tangible Net Worth
of Guarantor is less than the Required Net Worth and/or Reserve Guarantor's
debt-to-equity ratio shall be greater than 65%.
(c) In the event that (but only for so long as) the
Guaranteed Obligations exceed, in the aggregate, ten percent (10%) of the
Outstanding Principal Balance (such excess amount, the "Reserve Guaranty
Excess"), Borrowers shall no longer be entitled to provide a Reserve Guaranty
in lieu of making any required payments to such accounts to the extent of such
Reserve Guaranty Excess, and Borrowers shall, on the next succeeding Business
Day (a) promptly deposit cash into the Required Repairs Account, the Rollover
Account and/or the Capital Expenditure Account, as the case may be, as
otherwise provided in this Article 6, in the amount of the Reserve Guaranty
Excess, or (b) promptly deliver to Lender a Letter of Credit in lieu of such
cash deposits into such accounts, which Letter of Credit shall satisfy the
requirements of Section 6.10 of this Agreement. Any calculations made by
Lender with respect
74
to calculations of any Reserve Guaranty Excess shall be made in Lender's
reasonable determination and such determination shall be conclusive upon
Borrower.
(d) If, at any time following Reserve Guarantor's cash
deposits into the Required Repairs Account, the Rollover Account (other than
deposits required pursuant to Section 6.6.1(b)) or the Capital Expenditure
Account or delivery of a Letter of Credit in lieu thereof, Borrower becomes
entitled to deliver a Reserve Guaranty in substitution for such cash reserves,
either in whole or in part, Lender shall refund to Borrower any such reserves,
or portion thereof, for which the Reserve Guaranty has been delivered.

other rights or remedies under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, and
without waiving or releasing such Borrower from any of its Obligations
hereunder or under such Management Agreement, Lender shall have the right, but
shall be under no obligation, to pay any sums and to perform any act as may be

Person, (iii) consent to the assignment by the Manager of its interest under
any Management Agreement, or (iv) waive or release any of its rights and
remedies under any Management Agreement, in each case without the express
consent of Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided,
however, with respect to a new manager such consent may be conditioned upon
Borrowers delivering a Rating Agency Confirmation as to such new manager and
management agreement. If at any time Lender consents to the appointment of a
new manager, such new manager and Borrowers shall, as a condition of Lender's
consent, execute a subordination of management agreement in the form delivered
in connection with the closing of the Loan.

additional financial statements, such that, as of the date (each a
"Disclosure Document Date") of each Disclosure Document, each Borrower
shall have provided Lender with all financial statements as described in
paragraph (i) above; provided that the Fiscal Year and interim periods
for which such financial statements shall be provided shall be
determined as of such Disclosure Document Date.
(v) In the event Lender determines, in connection
with a Securitization, that the financial statements required in order
to comply with Regulation S-X or any Legal Requirements are other than
as provided herein, then notwithstanding the provisions of this Section,
Lender may request, and each Borrower shall promptly provide, such
combination of Acquired Property Statements and/or Standard Statements
as may be necessary for such compliance.
83
(vi) Any other or additional financial statements, or
financial, statistical or operating information, as shall be required
pursuant to Regulation S-X or other Legal Requirements in connection
with any Disclosure Document or any filing under or pursuant to the
Exchange Act in connection with or relating to a Securitization
(hereinafter an "Exchange Act Filing") or as shall otherwise be
requested by Lender to meet disclosure, rating agency or marketing
requirements.
All financial statements provided by Borrowers pursuant to this Section 9.1(c)
shall be prepared in accordance with the cash basis method of accounting, and
shall meet the requirements of Regulation S-X and other applicable Legal
Requirements. All financial statements relating to a Fiscal Year shall be
audited by independent accountants in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards, Regulation S-X and all other applicable Legal
Requirements, shall be accompanied by the manually executed report of the
independent accountants thereon, which report shall meet the requirements of
Regulation S-X and all other applicable Legal Requirements, and shall be
further accompanied by a manually executed written consent of the independent
accountants, in form and substance acceptable to Lender, to the inclusion of
such financial statements in any Disclosure Document and any Exchange Act
Filing and to the use of the name of such independent accountants and the
reference to such independent accountants as "experts" in any Disclosure
Document and Exchange Act Filing, all of which shall be provided at the same
time as the related financial statements are required to be provided. All
other financial statements shall be certified by the chief financial officer
of such Borrower, which certification shall state that such financial
statements meet the requirements set forth in the first sentence of this
paragraph.
To the extent the cost of fulfilling the foregoing provisions of this Section
9.1(c) shall exceed the general accounting costs to Borrower plus the costs of
Borrower in complying with the Loan Documents but for the inclusion of the
reporting required pursuant to Section 9.1(c), the same shall be at the cost
of Lender.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.1(c), if the entire
Loan is included in a Securitization in which no classes of Securities are
offered in a transaction registered with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, (a) the quarterly statements required pursuant to Section
9.1(c)(ii) may be delivered not later than sixty (60) days after the end of
each fiscal quarter, (b) the annual financial statements required pursuant to
Section 9.1(c)(iii) may be delivered not later than ninety (90) days after the
end of each Fiscal Year and (c) the financial statements required pursuant to
this Section 9.1(c) may be prepared on the income tax basis of accounting,
provided a notation is made setting forth the difference between the income
tax basis of accounting and generally accepted account principles and the
effect thereof on such financial statements.
All third party costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with the
Securitization or other sale or transfer of the Loan not otherwise payable by
Borrower under the Loan Documents and all additional reasonable third party
costs and expenses, including reasonable counsel and accountant's fees and
expenses, incurred by Borrower in connection with the Securitization or other
sale or transfer of the Loan shall be paid by Lender.
84
9.2 Securitization Indemnification.
(a) Each Borrower understands that information provided to
Lender by each Borrower and its agents, counsel and representatives may be
included in disclosure documents in connection with the Securitization,
including an offering circular, a prospectus, prospectus supplement, private
placement memorandum or other offering document (each, a "Disclosure
Document") and may also be included in filings with the Securities and
Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities Act"), or the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
"Exchange Act"), and may be made available to investors or prospective
investors in the Securities, the Rating Agencies and service providers
relating to the Securitization.
(b) Borrowers shall provide in connection with each of (i)
a preliminary and a final private placement memorandum or (ii) a preliminary
and final prospectus or prospectus supplement, as applicable, an agreement (A)
certifying that such Borrower has examined such Disclosure Documents specified
by Lender and that each such Disclosure Document, as it relates to each
Borrower, each Borrower's Affiliates, each of the Properties, Manager and all
other aspects of the Loan, does not, and as to information provided in third
party reports of engineers and environmental consultants, to Borrower's actual
knowledge, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a
material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, (B) indemnifying
Lender (and for purposes of this Section 9.2, Lender hereunder shall include
its officers and directors), the Affiliate of UBS ("UBS") that has filed the
registration statement relating to the Securitization (the "Registration
Statement"), each of its directors, each of its officers who have signed the
Registration Statement and each Person that controls the Affiliate within the
meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act
(collectively, the "UBS Group"), and UBS, and any other placement agent or
underwriter with respect to the Securitization, each of their respective
directors and each Person who controls UBS or any other placement agent or
underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section
20 of the Exchange Act (collectively, the "Underwriter Group") for any losses,
claims, damages or liabilities (collectively, the "Liabilities") to which
Lender, the UBS Group or the Underwriter Group may become subject insofar as
the Liabilities arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in such sections or
arise out of, or are based upon, the omission or alleged omission to state
therein a material fact required to be stated in such sections or necessary in
order to make the statements in such sections, in light of the circumstances
under which they were made, not misleading, and (C) agreeing to reimburse
Lender, the UBS Group and/or the Underwriter Group for any legal or other
expenses reasonably incurred by Lender, the UBS Group and/or the Underwriter
Group in connection with investigating or defending the Liabilities; provided,
however, that Borrowers will be liable in any such case under clauses (B) or
(C) above only to the extent that any such Liability arises out of, or is
based upon, any such untrue statement or omission made therein in reliance
upon, and in conformity with, information furnished to Lender by or on behalf
of any Borrower in connection with the preparation of the Disclosure Document
or in connection with the underwriting or closing of the Loan, including
financial statements of any Borrower, operating statements and rent rolls with
respect to each of the Properties. This indemnity agreement will be in
addition to any liability which Borrowers may otherwise have.
85
(c) In connection with any Exchange Act Filing, each
Borrower shall (i) indemnify Lender, the UBS Group and the Underwriter Group
for Liabilities to which Lender, the UBS Group and/or the Underwriter Group
may become subject insofar as the Liabilities arise out of, or are based upon,
the omission or alleged omission to state in the Disclosure Document a
material fact required to be stated in the Disclosure Document in order to
make the statements in the Disclosure Document, in light of the circumstances
under which they were made, not misleading, and (ii) reimburse Lender, the UBS
Group and/or the Underwriter Group for any legal or other expenses reasonably
incurred by Lender, the UBS Group and/or the Underwriter Group in connection
with defending or investigating the Liabilities; provided, however, that
Borrowers will be liable in any such case under clauses (i) or (ii) above only
to the extent that any such loss claim, damage or liability arises out of or
is based upon any such untrue statement or omission made therein in reliance
upon and in conformity with information furnished to Lender by or on behalf of
Borrowers in connection with the preparation of the Disclosure Document or in
connection with the underwriting or closing of the Loan, including, without
limitation, financial statements of Borrowers, operating statements and rent
rolls with respect to the Property. This indemnity agreement shall not apply
to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense to the extent arising out of
any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made
in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to
Borrowers by Lender, any member of the UBS Group or any member of the
Underwriter Group expressly for use in the Disclosure Document. The foregoing
indemnity with respect to any untrue statement contained in or omission from a
preliminary private placement memorandum or preliminary prospectus shall not
inure to the benefit of any member of the Underwriting Group (or any person
controlling such member of the Underwriting Group) from whom the Person
asserting any such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense purchased any of
the Securities which are the subject thereof if Borrowers shall sustain the
burden of proving that any such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense
resulted from the fact that such Person was not sent or given a copy of the
final private placement memorandum or final prospectus at or prior to the
written confirmation of the sale of such Security to such Person and the loss,
liability, claim, damage or expense resulted from an untrue statement
contained in or omission from such preliminary private placement memorandum or
preliminary prospectus that was corrected in the final private placement
memorandum or final prospectus.
(d) In connection with the performance of Borrower's
obligations under this Section 9.2, Lender hereby agrees that it shall use
reasonable good faith efforts to deliver or cause to be delivered to Borrowers
a draft of each of the Disclosure Documents, the Registration Statement and
other documents relating to a proposed Securitization and requiring Borrower's
review pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, in each case on or before the
fifth (5th) Business Day prior to the date on which Borrowers are required to
execute and deliver Borrowers' indemnification certificate described above in
subparagraph (b).
(e) Lender agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each
Borrower, each of its directors and each Person who Controls Borrower (the
"Borrower Group") against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities,
joint or several, to which the Borrower Group may become subject, under the
Securities Act or otherwise, and will reimburse the Borrower Group for any
legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Borrower Group in
connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage,
liability or action, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities
(or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon
86
any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact
contained in a Disclosure Document or arise out of or are based upon the
omission or the alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to
be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, but only to the
extent that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or
alleged omission relates to information that does not accurately reflect
Provided Information.
(f) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under
this Section 9.2 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified
party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the
indemnifying party under this Section 9.2, notify the indemnifying party in
writing of the commencement thereof, but the omission to so notify the
indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability
which the indemnifying party may have to any indemnified party hereunder
except to the extent that failure to notify causes prejudice to the
indemnifying party. In the event that any action is brought against any
indemnified party, and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement
thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled, jointly with any other
indemnifying party, to participate therein and, to the extent that it (or
they) may elect by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly
after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to assume
the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party. After
notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party under this
Section 9.2, such indemnified party shall pay for any legal or other expenses
subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense
thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, if
the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the
indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded
that there are any legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified
parties that are different from or additional to those available to the
indemnifying party, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to
select separate counsel to assert such legal defenses and to otherwise
participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party
at the cost of the indemnifying party. The indemnifying party shall not be
liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel unless an
indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal
defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those
available to the indemnifying party.
(g) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution
in circumstances in which the indemnity agreement provided for in Section
9.2(b) or (c) is for any reason held to be unenforceable as to an indemnified
party in respect of any Liabilities (or action in respect thereof) referred to
therein which would otherwise be indemnifiable under Section 9.2(b) or (c),
the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the
indemnified party as a result of such Liabilities (or action in respect
thereof); provided, however, that no Person guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act)
shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such
fraudulent misrepresentation. In determining the amount of contribution to
which the respective parties are entitled, the following factors shall be
considered: (i) UBS's and each Borrower's relative knowledge and access to
information concerning the matter with respect to which the claim was
asserted; (ii) the opportunity to correct and prevent any statement or
omission; and (iii) any other equitable considerations appropriate in the
circumstances. Lender and Borrowers hereby agree that it would not be
equitable if the amount of such contribution were determined by pro rata or
per capita allocation.
87
(h) The liabilities and obligations of both Borrowers and
Lender under this Section 9.2 shall survive the termination of this Agreement
and the satisfaction and discharge of the Obligations.
9.3 Intentionally Omitted.
9.4 Severance Documentation.
Lender shall have the right, at any time (whether prior to or after any
sale, participation or Securitization of all or any portion of the Loan), to
modify the Loan in order to create one or more senior and subordinate notes
(i.e., an A/B or A/B/C structure) and/or one or more additional components of
the Note or Notes, reduce the number of components of the Note or Notes,
revise the interest rate for each component, reallocate the principal balances
of the Notes and/or the components, increase or decrease the monthly debt
service payments for each component or eliminate the component structure
and/or the multiple note structure of the Loan (including the elimination of
the related allocations of principal and interest payments), provided that the
Outstanding Principal Balance of all components immediately after the
effective date of such modification equals the Outstanding Principal Balance
immediately prior to such modification and the weighted average of the
interest rates for all components immediately after the effective date of such
modification equals the interest rate of the original Note immediately prior
to such modification. At Lender's election, each note comprising the Loan may
be subject to one or more Securitizations. Lender shall have the right to
modify the Note and/or Notes and any components in accordance with this
Section 9.4 and, provided that such modification shall comply with the terms
of this Section 9.4, it shall become immediately effective. If requested by
Lender, Borrowers shall promptly execute an amendment to the Loan Documents to
evidence any such modification; provided that Borrowers shall not be required
to modify or amend any Loan Document if such modification or amendment would
(A) change the interest rate, the stated maturity or the amortization of
principal as set forth herein or in the Note, or (B) modify or amend any other
material term of the Loan adverse to Borrowers.

Lender, in the case of any such Default which can be cured by the
payment of a sum of money, or for thirty (30) days after notice to
Borrowers from Lender in the case of any other such Default; provided,
however, that if such non-monetary Default is susceptible of cure but
cannot reasonably be cured within such 30-day period, and provided

accelerate the maturity of all or any portion of the Obligations
(b) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (other than
an Event of Default described in clauses (vii), (viii) or (ix) above) and at
any time thereafter while such Event of Default continues, Lender may, in
addition to any other rights or remedies available to it pursuant to this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents or at law or in equity, take such
action, without notice or demand, that Lender deems advisable to protect and
enforce its rights against Borrowers and in and to all or any portion of the
Properties, including declaring the Obligations to be immediately due and
payable, and Lender may enforce or avail itself of any or all rights or
remedies provided in the Loan Documents against Borrowers and all or any

or in equity; and upon any Event of Default described in clauses (vii), (viii)
or (ix) above, the Obligations of Borrowers hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents shall immediately and automatically become due and payable, without
notice or demand, and each Borrower hereby expressly waives any such
90
notice or demand, anything contained herein or in any other Loan Document to
the contrary notwithstanding.
10.2 Remedies.
(a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default, all or any one or more of the rights, powers, privileges and
other remedies available to Lender against Borrowers under this Agreement or
any of the other Loan Documents executed and delivered by, or applicable to,
Borrowers or at law or in equity may be exercised by Lender at any time and
from time to time, whether or not all or any of the Obligations shall be
declared due and payable, and whether or not Lender shall have commenced any
foreclosure proceeding or other action for the enforcement of its rights and
remedies under any of the Loan Documents with respect to all or any portion of
the Properties. Any such actions taken by Lender shall be cumulative and
concurrent and may be pursued independently, singly, successively, together or
otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in its sole
discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by law, without impairing or
otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender permitted by law,
equity or contract or as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if an Event of Default is
continuing (i) Lender shall not be subject to any "one action" or "election of
remedies" law or rule, and (ii) all Liens and other rights, remedies or
privileges provided to Lender shall remain in full force and effect until
Lender has exhausted all of its remedies against the Properties and the
Mortgage has been foreclosed, sold and/or otherwise realized upon in
satisfaction of the Obligations or the Obligations have been paid in full.
(b) Lender shall have the right from time to time to
partially foreclose the Mortgage in any manner and for any amounts secured by
the Mortgage then due and payable as determined by Lender in its sole
discretion, including the following circumstances: (i) in the event any
Borrower defaults beyond any applicable grace period in the payment of one or
more scheduled payments of principal and interest, Lender may foreclose the
Mortgage to recover such delinquent payments, or (ii) in the event Lender
elects to accelerate less than the entire Outstanding Principal Balance,
Lender may foreclose the Mortgage to recover so much of the principal balance
of the Loan as Lender may accelerate and such other sums secured by the
Mortgage as Lender may elect. Notwithstanding one or more partial
foreclosures, the Properties shall remain subject to the Mortgage to secure
payment of the sums secured by the Mortgage and not previously recovered.
(c) Lender shall have the right from time to time to sever
the Note and the other Loan Documents into one or more separate notes,
mortgages and other security documents (the "Severed Loan Documents") in such
denominations as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion for purposes of
evidencing and enforcing its rights and remedies provided hereunder. Each
Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender from time to time, promptly after
the request of Lender, a severance agreement and such other documents as
Lender shall request in order to effect the severance described in the
preceding sentence, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to
Lender. Each Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints Lender as its
true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in its name and stead to
make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect the aforesaid
severance, each Borrower ratifying all that its said attorney shall do by
virtue thereof; provided, however, Lender shall not make or
91
execute any such documents under such power until three (3) days after notice
has been given to Borrowers by Lender of Lender's intent to exercise its
rights under such power. Except as may be required in connection with a
Securitization pursuant to Section 9.1 hereof, (i) Borrowers shall not be
obligated to pay any costs or expenses incurred in connection with the
preparation, execution, recording or filing of the Severed Loan Documents, and
(ii) the Severed Loan Documents shall not contain any representations,
warranties or covenants not contained in the Loan Documents.
(d) Any amounts recovered from the Properties or any other
collateral for the Loan after an Event of Default may be applied by Lender
toward the payment of any interest and/or principal of the Loan and/or any
other amounts due under the Loan Documents, in such order, priority and
proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall determine.
10.3 Lender's Right to Perform.
If Borrowers fail to perform any covenant or obligation contained herein
and such failure shall (a) continue for a period of ten (10) Business Days
after Borrowers' receipt of written notice thereof from Lender and (b)
materially and adversely affect the value of the Properties, without in any
way limiting Lender's right to exercise any of its rights, powers or remedies
as provided hereunder, or under any of the other Loan Documents, Lender may,
but shall have no obligation to, perform, or cause the performance of, such
covenant or obligation, and all costs, expenses, liabilities, penalties and
fines of Lender incurred or paid in connection therewith shall be payable by
Borrowers to Lender upon demand and if not paid shall be added to the
Obligations (and to the extent permitted under applicable laws, secured by the
Mortgage and the other Loan Documents) and shall bear interest thereafter at
the Default Rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender shall have no
obligation to send notice to Borrowers of any such failure.
10.4 Remedies Cumulative.
The rights, powers and remedies of Lender under this Agreement shall be
cumulative and not exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which Lender
may have against any Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents, or existing at law or in equity or otherwise. Lender's rights,
powers and remedies may be pursued singly, concurrently or otherwise, at such
time and in such order as Lender may determine in Lender's sole discretion. No
delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an
Event of Default shall impair any such remedy, right or power or shall be
construed as a waiver thereof, but any such remedy, right or power may be
exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. A waiver
of one Default or Event of Default with respect to any Borrower shall not be
construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default by any
Borrower or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon.

Agreement are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not
constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purpose.
11.9 Severability.
Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted
in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any
provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable
law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or
invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the
remaining provisions of this Agreement.
11.10 Preferences.
Lender shall have the continuing and exclusive right at any time when an
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing to apply or reverse and
reapply any and all payments by any Borrower to any portion of the Obligations
of Borrowers hereunder. To the extent any Borrower makes a payment or payments
to Lender, which payment or proceeds or any part thereof are subsequently
invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required
to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy
law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent
of such payment or proceeds received, the Obligations hereunder or part
thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continue in full force
and effect until indefeasibly paid in full, as if such payment or proceeds had
not been received by Lender.
11.11 Waiver of Notice.
No Borrower shall be entitled to any notices of any nature whatsoever
from Lender except with respect to matters for which this Agreement or the
other Loan Documents specifically and expressly provide for the giving of
notice by Lender to Borrowers and except with respect to matters for which
Borrowers are not, pursuant to applicable Legal Requirements, permitted to
waive the giving of notice. Each Borrower hereby expressly waives the right to
receive any notice from Lender with respect to any matter for which this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents do not specifically and expressly
provide for the giving of notice by Lender to Borrowers.
11.12 Remedies of Borrower.
In the event that a claim or adjudication is made that Lender or its
agents have acted unreasonably or unreasonably delayed acting in any case
where, by law or under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Lender or
such agent, as the case may be, has an obligation to act reasonably or
promptly, neither Lender nor its agents shall be liable for any monetary
damages and each Borrower's sole remedy shall be limited to commencing an
action seeking injunctive
97
relief or declaratory judgment. Any action or proceeding to determine whether
Lender has acted reasonably shall be determined by an action seeking
declaratory judgment.
11.13 Expenses; Indemnity.
(a) Each Borrower shall pay or, if Borrowers fail to pay,
reimburse Lender upon receipt of notice from Lender, for all reasonable costs
and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements) incurred

Agreement and the other Loan Documents on its part to be performed or complied
with after the Closing Date, including confirming compliance with

and compliance with all agreements and covenants contained in this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents on its part to be performed or complied with

execution, delivery and administration of any consents, amendments, waivers or

of counsel for providing to Lender all required legal opinions, and other
similar expenses incurred in creating and perfecting the Liens in favor of
Lender pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; (v) enforcing
or preserving any rights, in response to third party claims or the prosecuting
or defending of any action or proceeding or other litigation, in each case
against, under or affecting Borrowers, this Agreement, the other Loan
Documents, the Properties or any other security given for the Loan; and (vi)
enforcing any Obligations of or collecting any payments due from Borrowers
under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or with respect to the
Properties or in connection with any refinancing or restructuring of the
credit arrangements provided under this Agreement in the nature of a
"work-out" or of any insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings; provided, however,
that Borrowers shall not be liable for the payment of any such costs and
expenses to the extent the same arise by reason of the active gross
negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct of Lender. Any costs due
and payable to Lender may be paid, at Lender's election in its sole
discretion, from any amounts in the Deposit Account.
(b) Borrowers shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless

actual, out-of-pocket judgments, suits, claims, actual, out-of-pocket costs,
actual, out-of-pocket expenses and actual, out-of-pocket disbursements of any

counsel for Lender in connection with any investigative, administrative or
judicial proceeding commenced or threatened, whether or not Lender shall be
designated a party thereto), that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted
against Lender in any manner relating to or arising out of (i) any breach by
any Borrower of its Obligations under, or any material misrepresentation by
any Borrower contained in, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, (ii)

transaction involving the Properties or any part thereof, or any liability
asserted against Lender with respect thereto; (x) the claims of any lessee of
any portion of the Properties or any Person acting through or under any lessee
or otherwise arising under or as a consequence of any Lease; (xi) any and all
lawful action that may be taken by Lender in connection with the enforcement
of the provisions of this Agreement, the Mortgage, the Note or any of the
other Loan Documents, whether or not suit is filed in connection with same, or

partner, member, joint venturer or shareholder thereof becoming a party of a
voluntary or involuntary federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar
proceeding; (xii) any tax on the making and/or recording of the Mortgage, the
Note or any of the other Loan Documents, but excluding any income, franchise
or other similar taxes; and (xiii) a default under Section 4.1.13 of this
Agreement (collectively, the "Indemnified Liabilities"); provided, however,
that Borrowers shall not have any obligation to Lender hereunder to the extent
that such Indemnified Liabilities arise from the gross negligence, bad faith,
illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct of Lender. To the extent that the
undertaking to indemnify, defend and hold harmless set forth in the preceding
sentence may be unenforceable because it violates any law or public policy,
Borrowers shall pay the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and
satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all
Indemnified Liabilities incurred by Lender.
11.14 Schedules Incorporated.
The Schedules annexed hereto are hereby incorporated herein as a part of
this Agreement with the same effect as if set forth in the body hereof.
11.15 Offsets, Counterclaims and Defenses.
Any assignee of Lender's interest in and to this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents shall take the same free and clear of all offsets,
counterclaims or defenses which are unrelated to such documents which
Borrowers may otherwise have against any assignor of such documents, and no
such unrelated counterclaim or defense shall be interposed or asserted by
Borrowers in any action or proceeding brought by any such assignee upon such
documents and any such right to interpose or assert any such unrelated offset,
counterclaim or defense in any such action or proceeding is hereby expressly
waived by Borrowers.
11.16 No Joint Venture or Partnership; No Third Party Beneficiaries.
(a) Each Borrower and Lender intend that the relationships
created hereunder and under the other Loan Documents be solely that of
borrowers and lender. Nothing herein or therein is intended to create a joint
venture, partnership, tenancy-in-common or joint tenancy
99
relationship between any Borrower and Lender nor to grant Lender any interest
in the Properties other than that of mortgagee, beneficiary or lender.
(b) This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are solely
for the benefit of Lender and nothing contained in this Agreement or the other
Loan Documents shall be deemed to confer upon anyone other than Lender any
right to insist upon or to enforce the performance or observance of any of the
Obligations contained herein or therein. All conditions to the obligations of
Lender to make the Loan (and disburse Reserve Funds) hereunder are imposed
solely and exclusively for the benefit of Lender and no other Person shall
have standing to require satisfaction of such conditions in accordance with
their terms or be entitled to assume that Lender will refuse to make the Loan
(or make any disbursement of Reserve Funds) in the absence of strict
compliance with any or all thereof and no other Person shall under any
circumstances be deemed to be a beneficiary of such conditions, any or all of
which may be freely waived in whole or in part by Lender if, in Lender's sole
discretion, Lender deems it advisable or desirable to do so.
11.17 Publicity.
All news releases, publicity or advertising by Borrowers or their
Affiliates through any media intended to reach the general public which refers
to the Loan Documents or the financing evidenced by the Loan Documents, to
Lender, UBS or any of their affiliates shall be subject to the prior approval
of Lender.
11.18 Cross-Collateralization; Waiver of Marshalling of Assets.
(a) Each Borrower acknowledges that Lender has made the
Loan to Borrowers upon the security of their collective interests in the
Properties and in reliance upon the aggregate of all of the Properties taken
together being of greater value as collateral security than the sum of each
individual Property taken separately.
(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, such Borrower's members or partners, as
applicable, and others with interests in such Borrower, and of the Property
owned by such Borrower, and shall not assert any right under any laws
pertaining to the marshalling of assets, the sale in inverse order of
alienation, homestead exemption, the administration of estates of decedents,
or any other matters whatsoever to defeat, reduce or affect the right of
Lender under the Loan Documents to a sale of the Property owned by such
Borrower for the collection of the Obligations without any prior or different
resort for collection, or of the right of Lender to the payment of the
Obligations out of the net proceeds of the Property owned by such Borrower in
preference to every other claimant whatsoever.
11.19 Waiver of Offsets/Defenses/Counterclaims.
Borrowers hereby waive the right to assert a counterclaim, other than a
compulsory counterclaim, in any action or proceeding brought against it by
Lender or its agents or otherwise to offset any obligations to make the
payments required by the Loan Documents. No failure by Lender to perform any
of its obligations hereunder shall be a valid defense to, or result in any
100
offset against, any payments which Borrowers are obligated to make under any
of the Loan Documents.
11.20 Conflict; Construction of Documents; Reliance.
In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement
and any of the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Agreement shall
control. The parties hereto acknowledge that they were represented by
competent counsel in connection with the negotiation, drafting and execution
of the Loan Documents and that such Loan Documents shall not be subject to the
principle of construing their meaning against the party which drafted same.
each Borrower acknowledge that, with respect to the Loan, each Borrower shall
rely solely on its own judgment and advisors in entering into the Loan,
without relying in any manner on any statements, representations or
recommendations of Lender or any parent, subsidiary or affiliate of Lender.
Lender shall not be subject to any limitation whatsoever in the exercise of
any rights or remedies available to it under any of the Loan Documents or any
other agreements or instruments which govern the Loan by virtue of the
ownership by it or any parent, subsidiary or affiliate of Lender of any equity
interest any of them may acquire in any Borrower, and each Borrower hereby
irrevocably waives the right to raise any defense or take any action on the
basis of the foregoing with respect to Lender's exercise of any such rights or
remedies. Each Borrower acknowledges that Lender engages in the business of
real estate financings and other real estate transactions and investments
which may be viewed as adverse to or competitive with the business of each
Borrower or its Affiliates.
11.21 Brokers and Financial Advisors.
Each Borrower hereby represents that it has dealt with no financial
advisors, brokers, underwriters, placement agents, agents or finders in
connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each Borrower
shall indemnify, defend and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all
claims, liabilities, costs and expenses of any kind (including Lender's
attorneys' fees and expenses) in any way relating to or arising from a claim
by any Person that such Person acted on behalf of Borrowers or Lender in
connection with the transactions contemplated herein. The provisions of this
Section 11.21 shall survive the expiration and termination of this Agreement
and the payment of the Obligations.
11.22 Exculpation.
Subject to the qualifications below, Lender shall not enforce the
liability and obligation of Borrowers to perform and observe the Obligations
contained in the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage or the other Loan
Documents by any action or proceeding wherein a money judgment shall be sought
against Borrowers or any member, partner, officer, director, employee,
principal of or an Affiliate of any Borrower, except that Lender may bring a
foreclosure action, an action for specific performance or any other
appropriate action or proceeding to enable Lender to enforce and realize upon
its interest in all or any portion of any of the Properties, the Gross Revenue
or any other collateral given to Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents;
provided, however, that, except as specifically provided herein, any judgment
in any such action or proceeding shall be enforceable against Borrowers only
to the extent of each Borrower's interest in the Properties, in the Gross
Revenue and in any other collateral given to Lender, and Lender,
101
by accepting the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage and the other Loan
Documents, shall not sue for, seek or demand any deficiency judgment against
Borrowers or any member, partner, officer, director, employee, principal of or
an Affiliate of any Borrower in any such action or proceeding under or by
reason of or under or in connection with the Note, this Agreement, the
Mortgage or the other Loan Documents. The provisions of this Section shall
not, however, (a) constitute a waiver, release or impairment of any obligation
evidenced or secured by any of the Loan Documents; (b) impair the right of
Lender to name one or more Borrowers as a party defendant in any action or
suit for foreclosure and sale under the Mortgage; (c) affect the validity or

waiver of the right of Lender to enforce the liability and obligation of
Borrowers, by money judgment or otherwise, to the extent of any actual
out-of-pocket loss, damage, cost, expense, liability, claim or other
obligation incurred by Lender (including reasonable attorneys' fees and costs
reasonably incurred) arising out of or in connection with the following:
(i) fraud, material misrepresentation, material
miscertification or material breach of warranty by or on behalf of any

other charges that can create Liens on any portion of the Properties, to
the extent such Liens are not bonded over, stayed or discharged in

inspections of any Property or failure to provide financial information
as required by, and in accordance with the terms and provisions of, this
Agreement and the Mortgage; and/or

in Section 9.2 hereof.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any of the
other Loan Documents, (A) Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any right

provisions of the Bankruptcy Code to file a claim for the full amount of the
Obligations or to require that all collateral shall continue to secure all of

the existence of such subordinate financing and/or Lien); (iii) Borrowers fail

against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand,
provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or

contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by Lender or any
Affiliate thereof to or for the credit or the account of Borrowers. Lender

interest thereon to be computed from the date of this Promissory Note (this
"Note") at the Interest Rate (as defined in the Loan Agreement), and to be
paid in accordance with the terms of this Note and the Loan Agreement. All
capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the respective meanings set
forth in the Loan Agreement.

Note and the interest on the unpaid principal sum of this Note and all other
amounts due under the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including,
without limitation, the Yield Maintenance Premium (if applicable), at the
rates and at the times specified in Article 2 of the Loan Agreement, and the

option of Lender if any payment required in this Note is not paid on or prior
to the date when due or if not paid on the Maturity Date or on the happening
of any other Event of Default.
ARTICLE 3: LOAN DOCUMENTS
This Note is secured by the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents. All
of the terms, covenants and conditions contained in the Loan Agreement, the
Mortgage and the other Loan Documents are hereby made part of this Note to the
same extent and with the same force as if they were fully set forth herein. In
the event of a conflict or inconsistency between the terms of this Note and
the Loan Agreement, the terms and provisions of the Loan Agreement shall
govern.
ARTICLE 4: SAVINGS CLAUSE
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, (a) all agreements and
communications between Borrowers and Lender are hereby and shall automatically
be limited so that, after taking into account all amounts deemed to constitute
interest, the interest contracted for, charged or received by Lender shall
never exceed the Maximum Legal Rate, (b) in calculating whether any interest
exceeds the Maximum Legal Rate, all such interest shall be amortized,
prorated, allocated and spread over the full amount and term of all principal
indebtedness of Borrowers to Lender, and (c) if through any contingency or
event, Lender receives or is deemed to receive interest in excess of the
Maximum Legal Rate, any such excess shall be deemed to have been applied
toward payment of the principal of any and all then outstanding indebtedness
of Borrowers to Lender or, if there is no such indebtedness, shall immediately
be returned to Borrowers.

This Note may not be modified, amended, waived, extended, changed,
discharged or terminated orally or by any act or failure to act on the part of
any Borrower or Lender, but only by an agreement in writing signed by the

extension, change, discharge or termination is sought.

all or any part of the Debt do hereby jointly and severally waive presentment
and demand for payment, notice of dishonor, notice of intention to accelerate,
notice of acceleration, protest and notice of protest and non-payment and all
other notices of any kind. No release of any security for the Debt or

terminate or affect the liability of any Borrower or any other Person who may
become liable for the payment of all or any part of the Debt under this Note,
the Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents. No notice to or demand on any
Borrower shall be deemed to be a waiver of the obligation of Borrowers or of
the right of Lender to take further action without further notice or demand as
provided for in this Note, the Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents. If
any Borrower is a partnership or limited liability company, the agreements
herein contained shall remain in force and be applicable, notwithstanding any
changes in the individuals comprising the partnership or limited liability
company, and the term "Borrower," as used herein, shall include any alternate
or successor partnership or limited liability company, but any predecessor
partnership or limited liability company shall not thereby be released from
any liability. If any Borrower is a corporation, the agreements contained
herein shall remain in full force and be applicable notwithstanding any
changes in the shareholders comprising, or the officers and directors relating
to, the corporation, and the term "Borrower," as used herein, shall include
any alternative or successor corporation, but any predecessor corporation

liability company or corporation, as applicable, which may be set forth in the
Loan Agreement, the Mortgage or any other Loan Document.)

under applicable law given to Lender with respect thereto, and Lender shall
thereafter forever be relieved and fully discharged from any liability or
responsibility in the matter; but Lender shall retain all rights hereby given
to it with respect to any liabilities and the collateral not so transferred.

Bankruptcy Code to file a claim for the full amount of the Obligations or to
require that all collateral shall continue to secure all of the Obligations
owing to Lender in accordance with the Loan Documents.
Section 1.3 Nature of Guaranty. This Guaranty is an irrevocable,
absolute, continuing guaranty of payment and not a guaranty of collection.
This Guaranty may not be revoked by Guarantor and shall continue to be
effective with respect to any Guaranteed Obligations arising or created after
any attempted revocation by Guarantor and after (if Guarantor is a natural
person) such Guarantor's death (in which event this Guaranty shall be binding
upon such Guarantor's estate and such Guarantor's legal representatives and
heirs). The fact that at any time or from time to time the Guaranteed
Obligations may be increased or reduced shall not release or discharge the
obligation of Guarantor to Lender with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations.
This Guaranty may be enforced by Lender and any subsequent holder of the Note
and shall not be discharged by the assignment or negotiation of all or part of
the Note.
Section 1.4 Guaranteed Obligations Not Reduced by Offset. The
Guaranteed Obligations and the liabilities and obligations of Guarantor to
Lender hereunder shall not be reduced, discharged or released because or by

any other party against Lender or against payment of the Guaranteed
Obligations, whether such offset, claim or defense arises in connection with
the Guaranteed Obligations (or the transactions creating the Guaranteed
Obligations) or otherwise.

maturity, acceleration or otherwise, Guarantor shall, promptly upon demand by
Lender and without presentment, protest, notice of protest, notice of
non-payment, notice of intention to accelerate the maturity, notice of
acceleration of the maturity or any other notice whatsoever, all such notices
being hereby waived by Guarantor, pay in lawful money of the United States of
America, the amount due on the Guaranteed Obligations to Lender at Lender's
address as set forth herein. Such demand(s) may be made at any time coincident
with or after the time for payment of all or part of the Guaranteed
Obligations and may be made from time to time with respect to the same or
different items of Guaranteed Obligations. Such demand shall be deemed made,
given and received in accordance with the notice provisions hereof.
Section 1.6 No Duty To Pursue Others. It shall not be necessary for
Lender (and Guarantor hereby waives any rights which Guarantor may have to
require Lender), in order to enforce the obligations of Guarantor hereunder,
first to (i) institute suit or exhaust its remedies against any Borrower or
others liable on the Loan or the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Person,

given to secure the Loan, (iii) enforce Lender's rights against any other
guarantors of the Guaranteed Obligations, (iv) join any Borrower or any others
liable on the Guaranteed Obligations in any action seeking to enforce this
Guaranty, (v) exhaust any remedies available to Lender against any collateral

not be required to mitigate damages or take any other action to reduce,
collect or enforce the Guaranteed Obligations.
5
Section 1.7 Waivers. Guarantor agrees to the provisions of the Loan
Documents and hereby waives notice of (i) any loans or advances made by Lender
to any Borrower, (ii) acceptance of this Guaranty, (iii) any amendment or
extension of the Note, the Mortgage, the Loan Agreement or any other Loan
Document, (iv) the execution and delivery by any Borrower and Lender of any
other loan or credit agreement or of any Borrower's execution and delivery of
any promissory note or other document arising under the Loan Documents or in
connection with any Property, (v) the occurrence of (A) any breach by any
Borrower of any of the terms or conditions of the Loan Agreement or any of the
other Loan Documents, or (B) an Event of Default, (vi) Lender's transfer or
disposition of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any part thereof, (vii) the sale
or foreclosure (or the posting or advertising for the sale or foreclosure) of
any collateral for the Guaranteed Obligations, (viii) protest, proof of
non-payment or default by any Borrower, or (ix) any other action at any time
taken or omitted by Lender and, generally, all demands and notices of every
kind in connection with this Guaranty, the Loan Documents, any documents or
agreements evidencing, securing or relating to any of the Guaranteed
Obligations and/or the obligations hereby guaranteed.
Section 1.8 Payment of Expenses. In the event that Guarantor shall
breach or fail to timely perform any provisions of this Guaranty, Guarantor
shall, immediately upon demand by Lender, pay Lender all actual, out-of-pocket
costs and expenses (including court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees)
incurred by Lender in the enforcement hereof or the preservation of Lender's
rights hereunder, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the
date requested by Lender until the date of payment to Lender. The covenant
contained in this Section shall survive the payment and performance of the
Guaranteed Obligations.
Section 1.9 Effect of Bankruptcy. In the event that pursuant to any
insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership or other debtor relief
law or any judgment, order or decision thereunder, Lender must rescind or
restore any payment or any part thereof received by Lender in satisfaction of
the Guaranteed Obligations, as set forth herein, any prior release or
discharge from the terms of this Guaranty given to Guarantor by Lender shall
be without effect and this Guaranty shall remain (or shall be reinstated to
be) in full force and effect. It is the intention of Borrowers and Guarantor
that Guarantor's obligations hereunder shall not be discharged except by
Guarantor's performance of such obligations and then only to the extent of
such performance.
Section 1.10 Waiver of Subrogation, Reimbursement and Contribution.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Guaranty, Guarantor
hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives, releases and abrogates any and
all rights it may now or hereafter have under any agreement, at law or in
equity (including, without limitation, any law subrogating Guarantor to the
rights of Lender), to assert any claim against or seek contribution,
indemnification or any other form of reimbursement from any Borrower or any
other party liable for the payment of any or all of the Guaranteed Obligations
for any payment made by Guarantor under or in connection with this Guaranty or
otherwise.

that Guarantor shall be obligated to pay the Guaranteed Obligations when due,
notwithstanding any occurrence, circumstance, event, action or omission
whatsoever, whether contemplated or uncontemplated, and whether or not
otherwise or particularly described herein, which obligation shall be deemed
satisfied only upon the full and final payment and satisfaction of the
Guaranteed Obligations.
ARTICLE 3
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
------------------------------
To induce Lender to enter into the Loan Documents and to extend credit
to Borrowers, Guarantor represents and warrants to Lender as follows:
Section 3.1 Benefit. Guarantor is an Affiliate of each Borrower, is
the owner of a direct or indirect interest in each Borrower and has received,
or will receive, direct or indirect benefit from the making of this Guaranty
with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations.
Section 3.2 Familiarity and Reliance. Guarantor is familiar with, and
has independently reviewed books and records regarding, the financial
condition of each Borrower and is familiar with the value of any and all
collateral intended to be created as security for the payment of the Note or
Guaranteed Obligations; however, Guarantor is not relying on such financial
condition or the collateral as an inducement to enter into this Guaranty.
Section 3.3 No Representation By Lender. Neither Lender nor any other
party has made any representation, warranty or statement to Guarantor in order
to induce Guarantor to execute this Guaranty.
Section 3.4 Guarantor's Financial Condition. As of the date hereof,
and after giving effect to this Guaranty and the contingent obligation
evidenced hereby, Guarantor (a) is and will be solvent, (b) has and will have
assets which, fairly valued, exceed its obligations, liabilities (including
contingent liabilities) and debts, and (c) has and will have property and
assets sufficient to satisfy and repay its obligations and liabilities,
including the Guaranteed Obligations.
Section 3.5 Legality. The execution, delivery and performance by
Guarantor of this Guaranty and the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereunder do not and will not contravene or conflict with any
law, statute or regulation whatsoever to which Guarantor is subject, or
constitute a default (or an event which, with notice or lapse of time or both,
would constitute a default) under, or result in the breach of, any indenture,
mortgage, charge, lien, contract, agreement or other instrument to which
Guarantor is a party or which may be applicable to Guarantor. This Guaranty is
a legal and binding obligation of Guarantor and is
9
enforceable against Guarantor in accordance with its terms, except as limited
by bankruptcy, insolvency or other laws of general application relating to the
enforcement of creditors' rights.
Section 3.6 Survival. All representations and warranties made by
Guarantor herein shall survive the execution hereof.
ARTICLE 4
SUBORDINATION OF CERTAIN INDEBTEDNESS
-------------------------------------
Section 4.1 Subordination of All Guarantor Claims. As used herein, the
term "Guarantor Claims" shall mean all debts and liabilities of each Borrower
to Guarantor, whether such debts and liabilities now exist or are hereafter
incurred or arise, and whether the obligations of any Borrower thereon be
direct, contingent, primary, secondary, several, joint and several, or
otherwise, and whether such debts or liabilities be evidenced by note,
contract, open account, or otherwise, and irrespective of the Person or
Persons in whose favor such debts or liabilities may, at their inception, have
been, or may hereafter be, created, or the manner in which they have been, or
may hereafter be, acquired by Guarantor. The Guarantor Claims shall include,
without limitation, all rights and claims of Guarantor against any Borrower
(arising as a result of subrogation or otherwise) as a result of Guarantor's
payment of all or a portion of the Guaranteed Obligations; provided, however,
Guarantor Claims shall not include distributions made by any Borrower in the
ordinary course of business pursuant to the terms of the organizational
documents of Borrowers and not otherwise prohibited by the terms and
provisions of the Loan Agreement. So long as any portion of the Obligations or
the Guaranteed Obligations remain outstanding, Guarantor shall not receive or
collect, directly or indirectly, from any Borrower or any other Person any
amount upon the Guarantor Claims.
Section 4.2 Claims in Bankruptcy. In the event of any receivership,
bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, debtor's relief or other insolvency
proceeding involving Guarantor as a debtor, Lender shall have the right to
prove its claim in any such proceeding so as to establish its rights hereunder
and receive directly from the receiver, trustee or other court custodian
dividends and payments which would otherwise be payable upon Guarantor Claims.
Guarantor hereby assigns such dividends and payments to Lender. Should Lender
receive, for application against the Guaranteed Obligations, any dividend or
payment which is otherwise payable to Guarantor and which, as between
Borrowers and Guarantor, shall constitute a credit against the Guarantor
Claims, then, upon payment to Lender in full of the Obligations and the
Guaranteed Obligations, Guarantor shall become subrogated to the rights of
Lender to the extent that such payments to Lender on the Guarantor Claims have
contributed toward the liquidation of the Guaranteed Obligations, and such
subrogation shall be with respect to that proportion of the Guaranteed
Obligations which would have been unpaid if Lender had not received dividends
or payments upon the Guarantor Claims.
Section 4.3 Payments Held in Trust. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Guaranty, in the event that Guarantor should
receive any funds, payments, claims and/or distributions which are prohibited
by this Guaranty, Guarantor agrees to hold in trust for Lender an amount equal
to the amount of all funds, payments, claims and/or distributions so received,
and agrees that it shall have absolutely no dominion over the amount of such
funds, payments, claims and/or distributions so received except to pay such
funds,
10
payments, claims and/or distributions promptly to Lender, and Guarantor
covenants promptly to pay the same to Lender.
Section 4.4 Liens Subordinate. Guarantor agrees that any liens,
security interests, judgment liens, charges or other encumbrances upon any
Borrower's assets securing payment of the Guarantor Claims shall be and remain
inferior and subordinate to any liens, security interests, judgment liens,
charges or other encumbrances upon such Borrower's assets securing payment of
the Guaranteed Obligations, regardless of whether such encumbrances in favor
of Guarantor or Lender presently exist or are hereafter created or attach.
Without the prior written consent of Lender, Guarantor shall not (i) exercise
or enforce any creditor's rights it may have against any Borrower, or (ii)
foreclose, repossess, sequester or otherwise take steps or institute any
action or proceedings (judicial or otherwise, including, without limitation,
the commencement of, or the joinder in, any liquidation, bankruptcy,
rearrangement, debtor's relief or insolvency proceeding) to enforce any liens,
mortgages, deeds of trust, security interests, collateral rights, judgments or
other encumbrances on the assets of any Borrower held by Guarantor. The
foregoing shall in no manner vitiate or amend, nor be deemed to vitiate or
amend, any prohibition in the Loan Documents against Borrowers granting liens
or security interests in any of its assets to any Person other than Lender.
