Each Monthly Interest Payment Amount paid after the Anticipated Repayment Date will be applied to the payment of interest computed, (x) with respect to the Amazon Seattle A Note, at the Initial Note A Interest Rate and (y) with respect to the Amazon Seattle B Note, at the Initial Note B Interest Rate.
With respect to the Amazon Seattle A Note, the difference between interest accrued at the Adjusted Note A Interest Rate and the Initial Note A Interest Rate, if not paid on the applicable Amazon Seattle Payment Date will be deferred (the deferred amount, the “Note A Accrued Interest”), and will be paid on the Amazon Seattle Maturity Date to the extent not sooner paid by Borrower. With respect to the Amazon Seattle B Note, the difference between interest accrued at the Adjusted Note B Interest Rate and the Initial Note B Interest Rate, if not paid on the applicable Amazon Seattle Payment Date will be deferred (the deferred amount, the “Note B Accrued Interest” and together with the Note A Accrued Interest, collectively, “Accrued Interest”), and will be paid on the Amazon Seattle Maturity Date to the extent not sooner paid by Borrower.
From and after the Anticipated Repayment Date, Borrower will make payments in reduction of the outstanding principal of the Amazon Seattle Whole Loan and Accrued Interest as set forth in the Amazon Seattle Loan Agreement. See “—Property Cash Flow Allocation” below.
In addition, (i) Note A Accrued Interest not paid on a current basis will itself accrue interest at the Adjusted Note A Interest Rate, and (ii) Note B Accrued Interest not paid on a current basis will itself accrue interest at the Adjusted Note B Interest Rate, in each case, compounded monthly.

Reserve Funds
The following reserve funds are required to be maintained as set forth below.
Tax Funds
During the continuance of a Trigger Period, the Borrower is required to deposit, on Amazon Seattle Payment Date, an amount equal to one-twelfth of the real estate taxes that Lender reasonably estimates will be payable during the next ensuing 12 months less any taxes payable directly by investment grade tenants under leases in effect in accordance with the Amazon Seattle Loan Agreement less any amounts required to be deposited by the Lender in accordance with the terms of the Amazon Seattle Loan Agreement, in order to accumulate sufficient funds to pay all such real estate taxes at least 30 days prior to their respective due dates, which amounts will be transferred into an account established to hold such funds (the “Tax Account”). If at any time the Lender reasonably determines that the funds in the Tax Account (the “Tax Funds”) will not be sufficient to pay the real estate taxes as of the date such real estate taxes are due, the Borrower will be required to increase its monthly deposits for real estate taxes by the amount that the Lender reasonably estimates will be sufficient to make up the deficiency at least 10 business days prior to their respective due dates.
Insurance Funds
During the continuance of a Trigger Period, the Borrower is required to deposit on each Amazon Seattle Payment Date, an amount equal to one-twelfth of the insurance premiums (the “Insurance Funds”) that the Lender estimates will be payable for the renewal of the coverage afforded by the policies required under the that Lender estimates will be payable for the renewal of the coverage afforded by the policies upon the expiration thereof, in order to accumulate sufficient funds to pay all such insurance premiums at least 30 days prior to the expiration of the policies. Such amounts will be transferred into an account established to hold such funds (the “Insurance Account”). If at any time the Lender reasonably determines that the Insurance Funds will not be sufficient to pay the insurance premiums as of the date such insurance premiums are due, the Borrower will be required to increase its monthly deposits for insurance premiums by the amount that the Lender estimates will be sufficient to make up the deficiency.
If an acceptable blanket policy is in effect with respect to the policies required pursuant to the Amazon Seattle Loan Agreement, deposits into the Insurance Account will be suspended to the extent that insurance premiums relate to such acceptable blanket policy. As of the Amazon Seattle Loan Origination Date, an acceptable blanket policy was in effect for the Amazon Seattle Mortgaged Property.
Capital Expenditure Funds
On each Amazon Seattle Payment Date prior to the Anticipated Repayment Date, the Borrower is required to deposit with or on behalf of the Lender, an amount equal to the product of (x) $0.0167 multiplied by (y) the rentable square feet of the Amazon Seattle Mortgaged Property (the “Capital Expenditure Deposit Amount”), for capital expenditures (the “Capital Expenditure Funds”), which amounts will be transferred into an account (the “Capital Expenditure Account”). After the Anticipated Repayment Date, Lender may elect to make deposits into the Capital Expenditure Account in its sole discretion.
Borrower’s obligation to make monthly deposits into the Capital Expenditure Account will be suspended for so long as no Trigger Period has occurred and is continuing. Upon the commencement of a Trigger Period, Borrower’s obligation to make monthly deposits will be reinstated on the immediately succeeding Amazon Seattle Payment Date, and will continue until such time as such Trigger Period has ceased.
Rollover Funds
The Borrower is required to deposit with or on behalf of the Lender on each Amazon Seattle Payment Date prior to the Anticipated Repayment Date an amount equal to the product of (x) $0.125 multiplied by (y) the rentable square footage of the Amazon Seattle Mortgaged Property (the “Rollover Deposit Amount”) for Approved Leasing Expenses that may be incurred following the Amazon Seattle Loan Origination Date, all of which amounts will be transferred into an account (the “Rollover Account”).
Other than Lease Sweep Lease Termination Payments (which will be deposited into the Lease Sweep Account) (each as defined in the “Reserve Funds—Lease Sweep Funds” below), the following items will be deposited into the Rollover Account: all sums paid by a tenant to Borrower with respect to (A) a modification of any lease or otherwise paid in connection with the Borrower taking any action under any lease or waiving any provision thereof, (B) any settlement of claims of the Borrower against third parties in connection with any termination of any lease, and (C) any rejection, termination, surrender or cancellation of any lease (including in any bankruptcy case) or any lease buy-out or surrender payment from any tenant (including any payment relating to unamortized tenant improvements and/or leasing commissions) (the “Lease Termination Payments”).
Borrower’s obligation to make monthly deposits into the Rollover Account will be suspended for so long as (i) the total amount of funds held in the Rollover Account plus total amount of Lease Sweep Funds (as defined in the “Reserve Funds—Lease Sweep Funds” below) held in the Lease Sweep Account exceeds the applicable Leasing Reserve Cap (as defined in the “Reserve Funds—Lease Sweep Funds” below) or (ii) no Trigger Period has occurred and is continuing. Upon the commencement, or during the continuance of any Trigger Period, if the total amount of funds held in the Rollover Account plus total amount of Lease Sweep Funds held in the Lease Sweep Account falls below the applicable Leasing Reserve Cap, Borrower’s obligation to make monthly deposits will be reinstated on the immediately succeeding Amazon Seattle Payment Date, and will continue until such time as such Trigger Period has ceased, or until the total amount of funds held in the Rollover Account plus total amount of Lease Sweep Funds held in the Lease Sweep Account exceeds the applicable Leasing Reserve Cap.
“Approved Leasing Expenses” means the actual out-of-pocket expenses to unaffiliated third-parties (except with respect to expenses to Affiliates of Borrower or Guarantor to the extent such expenses have been expressly approved by Lender) incurred by Borrower in leasing space at the Amazon Seattle Mortgaged Property pursuant to leases entered into in accordance with the Amazon Seattle Loan Documents for landlord work, brokerage commissions, tenant improvements (including tenant amenities for a new Tenant), costs or allowances (other than free rent) and other expenses in connection with the re-tenanting of the applicable space covered by such leases, which expenses (i) are (A) specifically approved by Lender in connection with approving the applicable lease (including such payments and costs that are set forth in the applicable lease), (B) incurred in the ordinary course of business and on market terms and conditions in connection with leases which do not require Lender’s approval under the Amazon Seattle Loan Documents, and Lender will have received (and approved, if required under the terms of the Amazon Seattle Loan Agreement) a budget for such tenant improvement costs and a schedule of leasing commissions payments payable in connection therewith, or (C) otherwise approved by Lender, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and (ii) are substantiated by executed lease documents and/or brokerage agreements; provided, however, that Approved Leasing Expenses with respect to any space will be capped at the greater of (x) an aggregate amount of $75.00 per rentable square foot, plus the actual cost savings, if any, of Approved Leasing Expenses with respect to other space demised pursuant to other leases entered into in accordance with the Amazon Seattle Loan Documents, to the extent the aggregate amount of the Approved Leasing Expenses that Borrower is obligated to pay under or with respect to such other leases (whether or not such amounts are fully paid at such time) is less than $75.00 per rentable square foot and (y) an amount approved by Lender.
Free Rent Funds
The Borrower is required to deposit with Lender for transfer into an account (the “Free Rent Account”) on the Amazon Seattle Loan Origination Date, an amount equal to $5,572,775.41 to simulate the
payment of rent during the period that any bridge rent, gap rent periods, free rent periods or rent abatement periods are in effect for the leases identified in the Amazon Seattle Loan Agreement. In addition, if Borrower is entitled to receive any portion of the Amazon Work Delay Rent Credit Escrow Amount (as defined in the Amazon Seattle Loan Agreement) pursuant to the Rent Credit Escrow Instructions (as defined in the Amazon Seattle Loan Agreement), Borrower is required to cause such amounts to be deposited into the Free Rent Account. Amounts deposited into the Free Rent Account pursuant to the Amazon Seattle Loan Agreement are referred to herein as the “Free Rent Funds”. See “—Reserve Funds—Existing TI/LC Funds” below.
Notwithstanding anything set forth on Schedule VII of the Amazon Seattle Loan Agreement, and provided that no Amazon Seattle Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, following delivery by Borrower to Lender of a written request therefor and reasonable supporting documentation, Lender may disburse to Borrower an amount equal to any Free Rent Funds that are owed from Borrower to the Seller pursuant to the Purchase Agreement as a result of a tenant commencing payment of rent earlier than the date set forth on the Purchase Agreement (which disbursement may be used by Borrower solely to satisfy its obligation to Seller in accordance with the Purchase Agreement), and Schedule VII may be deemed to be amended in order to make a corresponding reduction in the bridge or gap rent allocable to the lease with such tenant for the appropriate months.
Cash Collateral Funds
If prior to the Anticipated Repayment Date, a Trigger Period is continuing (and no Amazon Seattle Loan Event of Default or Lease Sweep Period is also then continuing), then all Available Cash will be paid to the Lender and transferred by the Lender into an account (the “Cash Collateral Account”) to be held by the Lender as cash collateral for the debt (such amounts, the “Cash Collateral Funds”), and such funds may be made available and disbursed to Borrower within three (3) Business Days of Borrower’s written request to pay costs and expenses in connection with the ownership, management and/or operation of the Mortgaged Property to the extent not paid pursuant to Article VI of the Amazon Seattle Loan Agreement. Any Cash Collateral Funds on deposit in the Cash Collateral Account not previously disbursed or applied will, upon the termination of such Trigger Period be promptly disbursed to Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Lender will have the right, but not the obligation, at any time during the continuance of an Amazon Seattle Loan Event of Default, in its sole and absolute discretion to apply any and all Cash Collateral Funds then on deposit in the Cash Collateral Account to the debt or obligations, in such order and in such manner as the Lender will elect in its sole and absolute discretion, including to make a prepayment of principal (together with the applicable Prepayment Fee, if any, applicable thereto) or any other amounts due under the Amazon Seattle Loan Agreement.
Lease Sweep Funds
If a Lease Sweep Period is continuing, on each Amazon Seattle Payment Date all Available Cash will be transferred by the Lender (such amounts, the “Lease Sweep Funds”) into an account (the “Lease Sweep Account”). The deposit of Available Cash into the Lease Sweep Account will be suspended for so long as the total amount of funds held in the Rollover Account plus total amount of Lease Sweep Funds held in the Lease Sweep Account exceeds the applicable Leasing Reserve Cap, provided that during the continuance of any Lease Sweep Period, if the total amount of funds held in the Rollover Account plus total amount of Lease Sweep Funds held in the Lease Sweep Account falls below the applicable Leasing Reserve Cap, Borrower’s obligation to make monthly deposits will be reinstated on the immediately succeeding Amazon Seattle Payment Date, and will continue until such time as such Lease Sweep Period has ceased, or until the total amount of funds held in the Rollover Account plus total amount of Lease Sweep Funds held in the Lease Sweep Account exceeds the applicable Leasing Reserve Cap.
Additionally, all Lease Sweep Lease Termination Payments will be deposited into the Lease Sweep Account and held as Lease Sweep Funds (even if the aggregate amount on deposit in the Lease Sweep Account plus the Rollover Account equals or exceeds the Leasing Reserve Cap).
Other than with respect to a Lease Sweep Period triggered or continuing due to the trigger event described in clause (i)(d) of the defined term “Lease Sweep Period” (i.e., due to a Lease Sweep Tenant Party Insolvency Proceeding), Borrower will have the option of preventing the commencement of a Lease Sweep Period (or, if already triggered, terminating such Lease Sweep Period) by delivering to Lender either (i) a letter of credit in a face amount equal to the applicable Leasing Reserve Cap (it being understood that if more than one Lease Sweep Period is then in effect, the Leasing Reserve Cap applicable will be the highest cap applicable to the triggers to be prevented or terminated) or (ii) (x) a payment guaranty in form and substance satisfactory to Lender from an Investment Grade Entity that maintains a minimum net worth of $500,000,000 (exclusive of any interest in the Amazon Seattle Mortgaged Property) and liquidity of $50,000,000 or (y) a payment guaranty in form and substance satisfactory to Lender from a guarantor reasonably acceptable to Lender, in any case, in an amount equal the applicable Leasing Reserve Cap (it being understood that if more than one Lease Sweep Period is then in effect, the Leasing Reserve Cap applicable will be the highest cap applicable to the triggers to be prevented or terminated), provided however, such guaranty in the immediately preceding clause (y) will be subject to (A) Lender’s receipt of a rating agency confirmation from each applicable Rating Agency and (B) the approval of the Mezzanine Lender.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event TRIPRA is no longer in effect, Borrower will be required to carry terrorism insurance throughout the term of the Amazon Seattle Whole Loan as required herein this paragraph (12), but in such event Borrower will not be required to pay any insurance premiums solely with respect to such terrorism coverage in excess of the Terrorism Premium Cap (hereinafter defined) and, if the cost of such terrorism coverage exceeds the Terrorism Premium Cap, the Borrower will purchase the maximum amount of terrorism coverage available with funds equal to the Terrorism Premium Cap; provided that, if the insurance premiums payable with respect to such terrorism coverage exceeds the Terrorism Premium Cap, Lender may, at its option (1) purchase such stand-alone terrorism policy, with Borrower paying such portion of the insurance premiums with respect thereto equal to the Terrorism Premium Cap and the Lender paying such portion of the insurance premiums in excess of the Terrorism Premium Cap or (2) modify the deductible amounts, policy limits and other required policy terms to reduce the insurance premiums payable with respect to such stand-alone terrorism policy to the Terrorism Premium Cap; and
(14) in addition to the insurance coverages described above, the Borrower will obtain such other insurance as may from time to time be reasonably required by the Lender in order to protect its interests.
Any blanket insurance policy will be subject to the Lender’s approval and will otherwise provide the same protection as would a separate policy insuring only the Amazon Seattle Mortgaged Property in compliance with the provisions above (any such blanket policy, an “Acceptable Blanket Policy”). To the extent that the policies are maintained pursuant to an Acceptable Blanket Policy that covers more than one location within a one thousand foot radius of the Amazon Seattle Mortgaged Property, the limits of such Acceptable Blanket Policy must be sufficient to maintain coverage as set forth above for each Amazon Seattle Mortgaged Property and any and all other locations combined within such radius that are covered
by such blanket policy calculated on a total insured value basis, to the extent that such coverage is commercially available.

If the Anticipated Repayment Date has not occurred, the Net Proceeds will be held by the Lender in the Casualty and Condemnation Account and, until disbursed in accordance with the related provisions of the Amazon Seattle Loan Agreement, will constitute additional security for the debt and other obligations under the Amazon Seattle Loan Documents.
All plans and specifications required in connection with the restoration the cost of which is reasonably estimated by the Lender to exceed $4,000,000 will be subject to the prior reasonable approval of the Lender and, if reasonably required by the Lender, an independent consulting engineer selected by the Lender and reasonably approved by the Borrower.

The Borrower and the Guarantor (collectively, “Indemnitors”) have entered into an environmental indemnity agreement (the “Environmental Indemnity Agreement”) for the benefit of the Lender, as the same may be amended, restated, replaced, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time. Under the Environmental Indemnity Agreement, the Indemnitors have agreed, at their sole cost and expense, to protect, defend, indemnify, release and hold harmless the Lender and other indemnified parties (including the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee) (collectively, the “Environmental Indemnitee”) from and against any and all Losses imposed upon, or incurred by, or asserted against, the indemnified parties and to the extent caused by or arising out of one or more of the following:

(b) any past, present or threatened Release of Hazardous Substances in, on, above, under or from the Amazon Seattle Mortgaged Property;
(c) any activity by any of the Indemnitors, any Person affiliated with any of the Indemnitors and/or any tenant or other user of the Amazon Seattle Mortgaged Property in connection with any actual, proposed or threatened use, treatment, storage, holding, existence, disposition or other Release, generation, production, manufacturing, processing, refining, control, management, abatement, removal, handling, transfer or transportation to or from the Amazon Seattle Mortgaged Property of any Hazardous Substances at any time located in, under, on or above the Amazon Seattle Mortgaged Property;
(d) any activity by any of the Indemnitors, any Person affiliated with any of the Indemnitors and/or any tenant or other user of the Amazon Seattle Mortgaged Property in connection with any actual or proposed remediation of any Hazardous Substances at any time located in, under, on or above the Amazon Seattle Mortgaged Property, whether or not such remediation is voluntary or pursuant to court or administrative order, including, but not limited to, any removal, remedial or corrective action;
(e) any past, present or threatened non-compliance or violation of any Environmental Law (or of any permit issued pursuant to any Environmental Law) in connection with the Amazon Seattle Mortgaged Property or operations thereon, including, but not limited to, any failure by any of the Indemnitors, any Person affiliated with any of the Indemnitors and/or any tenant or other user of the Amazon Seattle Mortgaged Property to comply with any order of any governmental authority in connection with any applicable Environmental Laws;
(f) the imposition, recording or filing or the threatened imposition, recording or filing of any liens and other encumbrances imposed pursuant to any Environmental Law encumbering the Amazon Seattle Mortgaged Property;
(g) any administrative processes or proceedings or judicial proceedings in any way connected with any matter addressed in the Environmental Indemnity Agreement;
(h) intentionally omitted;
(i) any acts of any of the Indemnitors, any Person affiliated with any of the Indemnitors and/or any tenant or other user of the Amazon Seattle Mortgaged Property in arranging for the disposal or treatment, or arranging with a transporter for transport for the disposal or treatment, of Hazardous Substances from the Amazon Seattle Mortgaged Property at any facility or incineration vessel containing such or similar Hazardous Substances;
(j) any acts of any of the Indemnitors, any Person affiliated with any of the Indemnitors and/or any tenant or other user of the Amazon Seattle Mortgaged Property in accepting any Hazardous Substances for transport to disposal or treatment facilities, incineration vessels or sites from which there is a Release or a threatened release of any Hazardous Substance at or affecting the Amazon Seattle Mortgaged Property which causes the incurrence of costs for remediation;
(k) any personal injury, wrongful death or property or other damage arising out of any violation of Environmental Laws with respect to the Amazon Seattle Mortaged Property, including, but not limited to, damages assessed for private or public nuisance or for the conducting of an abnormally dangerous activity on or near the Amazon Seattle Mortgaged Property with respect to Hazardous Substances or other environmental conditions of the Amazon Seattle Mortgaged Property; and
(l) any intentional misrepresentation or material inaccuracy in any representation or warranty or material breach or failure to perform any covenants or other obligations pursuant to the Environmental Indemnity Agreement.
Notwithstanding the provisions of the Environmental Indemnity Agreement to the contrary, (i) the foregoing indemnity will not apply to any Losses caused solely by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Lender and other indemnified parties, and (ii) the foregoing indemnity will specifically exclude any Losses relating to Hazardous Substances which (A) are initially placed on, in or under the Amazon Seattle Mortgaged Property or any surrounding areas or any other acts, in any of the foregoing instances after foreclosure, or the Lender’s (or its designee’s) acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure and (B) did not result from the acts or omissions of any of the Indemnitors or Affiliates of any Indemnitor.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as a PLL Policy (as defined in the Environmental Indemnity Agreement) obtained in accordance with Environmental Indemnity Agreement is in full force and effect and has not been voided or otherwise canceled (including by lapse or nonrenewal thereof), at the time any Losses are imposed, incurred or asserted, Non-Borrower Indemnitor’s liability for such Losses under the Environmental Indemnity Agreement and Non-Borrower Indemnitor’s duty to defend Indemnified Parties under the Environmental Indemnity Agreement will be limited to Losses that are excluded from coverage under the terms of such PLL Policy. Further, so long as a PLL Policy obtained in accordance with the Environmental Indemnity Agreement is in full force and effect and has not been voided or otherwise canceled (including by lapse or nonrenewal thereof), at the time any Losses that are not excluded from coverage under such PLL Policy are imposed, incurred or asserted, and such Losses exceed the amount of the then-available deductible under such PLL Policy, the Indemnified Parties may not enforce the indemnification obligations set forth in the Environmental Indemnity Agreement against Borrower with respect to any Losses imposed upon or incurred by or asserted against any Indemnified Parties provided that Borrower is using commercially reasonable efforts to collect any such Losses under the PLL Policy; provided, however, that the foregoing may not affect the indemnification obligation of Borrower under the Environmental Indemnity Agreement, and if Borrower is unable to collect in full under the PLL Policy with respect to any claim made with respect to any Losses (other than on account of any applicable deductible under the PLL Policy) and pay to the Indemnified Parties the portion of such recovery to which such Indemnified Parties are entitled within 180 days after having made its initial claim thereunder, then, the Indemnified Parties will, after the expiration of such 180 day period, have the right to seek indemnification against Borrower with respect to such Losses in accordance with the terms of the Environmental Indemnity Agreement, to the extent not paid under the PLL Policy. In the event that Borrower is able to collect under the PLL Policy, Borrower will remain fully liable for payment to Indemnified Parties of the deductible (or such lesser amount to which Indemnified Parties are entitled under the Environmental Indemnity Agreement) under the PLL Policy.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (a) the debt is indefeasibly paid in full (exclusive of any indemnification or other contingent obligations in each case not yet due or accrued which are expressly stated in any of the Amazon Seattle Loan Documents to survive satisfaction and payment in full of the Amazon Seattle Notes) or the Amazon Seattle Whole Loan is defeased pursuant to the terms of the Amazon Seattle Loan Agreement; (b) within the earlier of: (x) 30 days prior to the Termination Date (as defined below); or (y) 30 days of a true sale of the Amazon Seattle Mortgaged Property in an arms-length transaction with a bona-fide, independent, third-party, Indemnitors, at their sole cost and expense, has delivered to the Lender a Phase I environmental report, dated within 30 days of the date such Phase I environmental report is required to be delivered to the Lender under the terms of the Environmental Indemnity Agreement, which Phase I environmental report discloses, no actual or threatened (other than as disclosed in the Environmental Report delivered to the Lender by Indemnitors in connection with the origination of the Amazon Seattle Whole Loan) (A) non-compliance with or violation of applicable Environmental Laws (or permits issued pursuant to Environmental Laws) in connection with the Amazon Seattle Mortgaged Property or operations thereon, which has not been cured in accordance with applicable Environmental Laws, (B) environmental liens encumbering the Amazon Seattle Mortgaged Property, (C) administrative processes or proceedings or judicial proceedings concerning any environmental matter addressed in the Environmental Indemnity Agreement, or (D) unlawful presence or Release of Hazardous Substances in, on, above or under the Amazon Seattle Mortgaged Property that has not been fully remediated as required by applicable Environmental Laws, and (c) as of the Termination Date, there is no outstanding claim for indemnification or outstanding request for defense made by the Lender under the Environmental Indemnity Agreement, then the obligations and liabilities of Indemnitors under the Environmental Indemnity Agreement will terminate on the date that is 24 months after indefeasible repayment in full of the debt (exclusive of any indemnification or other contingent obligations in each case not yet due or accrued which are expressly stated in any of the Amazon Seattle Loan Documents to survive satisfaction and payment in full of the Amazon Seattle Notes) or the defeasance of the Loan pursuant to the terms of the Amazon Seattle Loan Agreement (the “Termination Date”).

Governing Law
The Amazon Seattle Loan Documents are governed by the laws of the State of New York, other than any action in respect of the creation, perfection or enforcement of a lien or security interest created pursuant to any of the Amazon Seattle Loan Documents not governed by the laws of the State of New York.
DESCRIPTION OF THE AMAZON SEATTLE MEZZANINE LOAN
The following is a summary of the principal provisions of the Mezzanine Loan. This summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Mezzanine Loan Agreement, dated as of the Amazon Seattle Loan Origination Date by and between Deutsche Bank AG, New York Branch (“DBNY”) and Mezzanine Borrower (as amended from time to time, the “Mezzanine Loan Agreement”) and the other documents executed by the Mezzanine Borrower and the other parties in connection with the Mezzanine Loan (as amended from time to time, the “Mezzanine Loan Documents”).
General
A mezzanine loan in the original principal amount of $65,000,000 (the “Mezzanine Loan”) was made on April 1, 2021 by DBNY, whom thereafter assigned its interest as lender to an unaffiliated third party lender on April 12, 2021 (in such capacity, the “Mezzanine Lender”), to KRE 300 PINE MEZZ A LLC (the “Mezzanine Borrower”), pursuant to the Mezzanine Loan Agreement. The Mezzanine Loan is evidenced by one mezzanine promissory note (“Mezzanine Note”).
The Mezzanine Loan is an approximately twelve-year fixed-rate mezzanine loan with a final stated maturity date of May 6, 2033 (the “Mezzanine Stated Maturity Date”), that is interest-only until the Anticipated Repayment Date. See “—Payment on the Mezzanine Loan” below.
The maturity date of the Mezzanine Loan is the date on which the final payment of principal of the Mezzanine Note becomes due and payable in accordance with the terms of the Mezzanine Loan Documents, whether on the Mezzanine Stated Maturity Date, by declaration of acceleration, extension or otherwise (the “Mezzanine Maturity Date”).
The Mezzanine Borrower has pledged 100% of its direct ownership interests in Mortgage Borrower, to secure the Mezzanine Loan (collectively, the “Equity Collateral”), pursuant to that certain Pledge and Security Agreement, dated as of April 1, 2021, by the Mezzanine Borrower and consented to by the Borrower (the “Pledge Agreement”). The relative rights of the Lender and the Mezzanine Lender will be governed by the Intercreditor Agreement, expected to be entered into on or about April 12, 2021, among the Lender and the Mezzanine Lender (the “Mezzanine Intercreditor Agreement”).
Payment on the Mezzanine Loan
Payments on the Mezzanine Loan are required to be made on each Monthly Payment Date until and including the Mezzanine Maturity Date.
On the Amazon Seattle Loan Origination Date, the Mezzanine Borrower made a payment to the Mezzanine Lender of interest only at a per annum rate of 6.100000% (the “Mezzanine Initial Interest Rate”) for the initial Mezzanine Loan Interest Accrual Period. On each Monthly Payment Date, the Mezzanine Borrower is required to pay to the Mezzanine Lender interest on the outstanding principal balance at the Mezzanine Initial Interest Rate (such amount, the “Mezzanine Monthly Interest Payment Amount” ).
To the extent that the Mezzanine Loan is outstanding, from and after the Anticipated Repayment Date, interest will accrue on the outstanding principal balance of the Mezzanine Loan at the Mezzanine Adjusted Interest Rate, compounded monthly. The Mezzanine Borrower is required to continue to make payments of interest on the outstanding principal on each Monthly Payment Date following the Anticipated Repayment Date up to and including the Mezzanine Maturity Date, in an amount equal to the Mezzanine Monthly Interest Payment Amount and, notwithstanding the following provision with respect to the Mezzanine Accrued Interest, the failure to make any such payment as and when due will constitute a Mezzanine Loan Event of Default. Each Monthly Interest Payment Amount paid after the Anticipated Repayment Date will be applied to the payment of interest computed, at the Mezzanine Initial Interest Rate. The difference between interest accrued at the Mezzanine Adjusted Interest Rate and the Mezzanine Initial Interest Rate, if not paid on the applicable Monthly Payment Date will be deferred (the deferred amount, the “Mezzanine Accrued Interest”), and will be paid on the Mezzanine Maturity Date, to the extent not sooner paid by the Mezzanine Borrower. From and after the Anticipated Repayment Date, the Mezzanine Borrower will make payments in reduction of the outstanding principal of the Mezzanine Loan and Mezzanine Accrued Interest as set forth in the Mezzanine Loan Agreement. In addition, the Mezzanine Accrued Interest not paid on a current basis will itself accrue interest at the Mezzanine Adjusted Interest Rate, compounded monthly. The Mezzanine Borrower’s payment of the Mezzanine Monthly Interest Payment Amount due on any Monthly Payment Date will be applied to the payment of interest accrued during the precedent Mezzanine Loan Interest Accrual Period.
“Mezzanine Adjusted Interest Rate” means, a rate per annum to be determined by Mezzanine Lender, equal to the greater of (i) the sum of (x) the Mezzanine Initial Interest Rate and (y) 2.50% and (ii) the sum of (x) the 9-Year Swap Rate as of the Anticipated Repayment Date, (y) the Mezzanine Spread and (z) 2.50%.
“Mezzanine Loan Interest Accrual Period” means, the period from and including the 6th day of a calendar month through and including the 5th day of the immediately succeeding calendar month in which such payment on the Mezzanine Loan is made.
“Mezzanine Spread” means 4.453000% per annum.
Mezzanine Loan Prepayment
Except as described under this “—Mezzanine Loan Prepayment”, the Mezzanine Borrower will not be permitted to prepay the Mezzanine Loan.
Voluntary Prepayments
Provided that no Mezzanine Loan Event of Default is continuing and that the Mezzanine Borrower has not previously effectuated a defeasance, the Mezzanine Borrower has the right after the Mezzanine Prepayment Lockout Expiration Date, to prepay the outstanding principal balance in whole, but not in part, in accordance with the terms of the Mezzanine Loan Agreement. The Mezzanine Borrower is required to pay to the Mezzanine Lender (i) the Mezzanine Prepayment Fee and (ii) all other sums, then due under the Mezzanine Note, the Mezzanine Loan Agreement and the other Mezzanine Loan Documents.
The Mezzanine Borrower will have the right to prepay the entire principal balance of the Mezzanine Note and any other amounts outstanding under any of the Mezzanine Loan Documents, without payment of the Mezzanine Prepayment Fee or any prepayment premium, penalty or fee, on any business day on or after the Mezzanine Loan Open Prepayment Date.
From and after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Mezzanine Loan Event of Default, the outstanding principal balance of the Mezzanine Loan and, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, all other portions of the debt will bear interest at the applicable Mezzanine Default Rate. Additionally, in the case that any principal, interest or any other sum (other than the outstanding principal balance due on the Mezzanine Maturity Date) is not paid on the date on which it is due, the Borrower will be required to pay a late payment charge of the lesser or 3% of such unpaid sum and the maximum amount permitted by applicable law.
“Mezzanine Default Rate” means, with respect to the Mezzanine Loan, a rate per annum equal to the lesser of (i) the maximum legal rate and (ii) 3% above the Mezzanine Loan Interest Rate.
“Mezzanine Loan Interest Rate” means, with respect to each interest period, (I) (a) prior to the Anticipated Repayment Date, the Mezzanine Initial Interest Rate; and (b) on and after the Anticipated Repayment Date, the Mezzanine Adjusted Interest Rate; or (II) when applicable pursuant to the Mezzanine Loan Agreement or any other Mezzanine Loan Documents, the Mezzanine Default Rate.
“Mezzanine Prepayment Lockout Expiration Date” means the 24th Monthly Payment Date.
Open Prepayments
The Mezzanine Borrower may prepay the entire principal balance of the Mezzanine Loan and any other amounts outstanding under the Mezzanine Loan Agreement, or any of the other Mezzanine Loan Documents, on any Business Day on or after October 6, 2029 (“Mezzanine Loan Open Prepayment Date”), on not less than ten business days prior notice to the Mezzanine Lender. Any such prepayment will not require the payment of the Prepayment Fee or any other prepayment premium, penalty or fee. If such prepayment is not made on a Monthly Payment Date, the Mezzanine Borrower will also pay interest that would have accrued on the principal balance of the Mezzanine Loan to, but not including, the next Monthly Payment Date.
Mandatory Prepayments
Subject to the terms of the Amazon Seattle Loan Agreement, in the event of (i) any casualty to all of the Amazon Seattle Mortgaged Property or any material portion thereof, (ii) any condemnation of all of the Amazon Seattle Mortgaged Property or any material portion thereof, (iii) a transfer of the Amazon Seattle Mortgaged Property following an Amazon Seattle Loan Event of Default, including, without limitation, a foreclosure sale or (iv) any refinancing or payoff of the Amazon Seattle Mortgaged Property or the Amazon Seattle Whole Loan permitted under the Mezzanine Loan Agreement (including any refunds of reserves on deposit with the Lender (but not disbursements therefrom)) (each, a “Liquidation Event”), any net proceeds remaining after certain debt service applications will be applied by the Mezzanine Lender as follows: (a), first to the actual reasonable costs of the Mezzanine Lender incurred in connection with such application of such net proceeds remaining after certain debt service applications, to the extent such amounts are not paid to the Mezzanine Lender pursuant to the terms of the Mezzanine Loan Agreement, (b) then, to any interest and other amounts due and payable under the Mezzanine Loan other than principal and (c) then, as a prepayment of the outstanding principal balance of the Mezzanine Note in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the remainder of such net proceeds remaining after certain debt service necessary to fully repay the debt (the “Mezzanine Mandatory Prepayment Amount”). Except during the continuance of a Mezzanine Loan Event of Default, any net proceeds remaining after certain debt service in excess of the Mezzanine Mandatory Prepayment Amount will be disbursed to the Mezzanine Borrower. During the continuance of a Mezzanine Loan Event of Default, the Mezzanine Lender may apply such any net proceeds remaining after certain debt service to the debt (until paid in full) in any order or priority as the Mezzanine Lender may determine in its sole discretion. No Mezzanine Prepayment Fee or
other premium or penalty or charge will be due in connection with any prepayment made under this paragraph.
In connection with any casualty or condemnation, if the net proceeds are equal to or greater than the Restoration Threshold and after the Borrower has used commercially reasonable efforts to satisfy each of the conditions set forth in restoration provisions of the Amazon Seattle Loan Agreement, the Borrower is unable to satisfy all such conditions and the Lender does not disburse the net proceeds to the Borrower for restoration, then the Mezzanine Borrower will have the right to prepay the Mezzanine Loan (in which case, the Mezzanine Borrower will cause the Borrower to prepay the Amazon Seattle Whole Loan) (a “Casualty/Condemnation Prepayment”), utilizing the net proceeds (together with other funds of the Borrower or the Mezzanine Borrower, as applicable, if such net proceeds are less than the outstanding principal balance of the Mezzanine Loan, plus the outstanding principal balance of the Amazon Seattle Whole Loan) and obtain the release of the Equity Collateral from the lien of the security documents thereon and related Mezzanine Loan Documents, provided that (i) the Mezzanine Borrower will have satisfied the requirements of the release provisions of the Mezzanine Loan Agreement (and the Borrower will have satisfied the requirements of the release provisions of the Amazon Seattle Loan Agreement), (ii) the Mezzanine Borrower and the Borrower will consummate the Casualty/Condemnation Prepayment on or before the second Monthly Payment Date occurring following the date the net proceeds are available to the Borrower for such intended Casualty/Condemnation Prepayment and (iii) the Mezzanine Borrower pays to the Mezzanine Lender, concurrently with making such Casualty/Condemnation Prepayment, the amounts required pursuant to the prepayment and repayment conditions of the Mezzanine Loan Agreement, which will be applied pursuant to the paragraph above regarding Voluntary Prepayments (and the Borrower pays to the Lender the amounts due under the Amazon Seattle Whole Loan in connection with such prepayment). No Mezzanine Prepayment Fee or other premium or penalty or charge will be due with respect to a Casualty/Condemnation Prepayment.
“Mezzanine Prepayment Fee” means an amount equal to the greater of (i) the present value, as of the date of a defeasance or prepayment (as applicable) of the Mezzanine Loan pursuant to the Mezzanine Loan Agreement (the “Mezzanine Repayment Date”), of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest from the Mezzanine Repayment Date through the Mezzanine Loan Open Prepayment Date (including any balloon payment) assuming that all scheduled payments are made timely, determined by discounting such payments at the discount rate set forth in the Mezzanine Loan Agreement, less the amount of principal being prepaid on the Mezzanine Repayment Date, or (ii) 1% of the unpaid principal balance of the Mezzanine Note as of the Mezzanine Repayment Date.
Prepayments After Default
If, during the continuance of any Mezzanine Loan Event of Default or from and after an acceleration of the obligations, pursuant to the terms of the Mezzanine Loan Agreement, by operation of law or otherwise, the Mezzanine Borrower or the Guarantor prepays the Mezzanine Loan in whole or in part, and such payment is accepted by Mezzanine Lender or is otherwise recovered by Mezzanine Lender (including through the application of reserve funds), such tender or recovery will be deemed to be a voluntary prepayment by the Mezzanine Borrower in violation of the prohibition against prepayment under the terms of the Mezzanine Loan Agreement, and the debt, will include, all of: (i) all accrued interest at the Mezzanine Default Rate and, if such tender and acceptance is not made on a Monthly Payment Date, interest that would have accrued on the debt to, but not including, the next Monthly Payment Date, (ii) an amount equal to the Mezzanine Prepayment Fee if any portion of such tender or recovery occurs prior to the Mezzanine Loan Open Prepayment Date and (iii) all other sums due and payable under the Mezzanine Loan Documents.
Mezzanine Loan Defeasance

(B) April 1, 2024 (the “Mezzanine Defeasance Lockout Expiration Date”), if the Mezzanine Borrower has elected to defease the Mezzanine Loan, the Mezzanine Borrower will have the right to cause the release of the Equity Collateral (in whole but not in part) from the lien of the Pledge Agreement and the other Mezzanine Loan Documents upon the satisfaction of the related conditions set forth in the Mezzanine Loan Agreement, including that: (i) not less than 20 business days’ prior revocable written notice is given to the Mezzanine Lender specifying a date (the “Mezzanine Release Date”), on which the Mezzanine Defeasance Collateral is to be delivered, provided that any such notice is revocable and subject to modification by the Mezzanine Borrower on or prior to the proposed Mezzanine Release Date specified in any such notice, provided that the Mezzanine Borrower is required to pay the Mezzanine Lender upon demand for all of the Mezzanine Lender’s actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of the Mezzanine Lender’s counsel) incurred in connection with such modification, extension, cancellation and/or revocation, and the Mezzanine Borrower is required to pay to the party entitled thereto any and all breakage or other termination costs charged or incurred with respect to any Mezzanine Defeasance Collateral that was purchased or was committed to be purchased; (ii) all accrued and unpaid interest and all other sums due under the Mezzanine Note and under the other Mezzanine Loan Documents up to the Mezzanine Release Date, are paid in full on or prior to the Mezzanine Release Date (or the next Monthly Payment Date if the Mezzanine Release Date is not a Monthly Payment Date); provided, however, that the defeasance fee charged by the servicer of the Mezzanine Loan, exclusive of its actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses, may not exceed an aggregate amount of $20,000; and (iii) the Mezzanine Borrower delivers to the Mezzanine Lender: (A) the Mezzanine Defeasance Collateral, each of which will be duly endorsed by the holder thereof as directed by the Mezzanine Lender or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form and substance wholly satisfactory to the Mezzanine Lender in order to create a first priority security interest therein in favor of the Mezzanine Lender in conformity with all applicable state and federal laws governing granting of such security interests; (B) a pledge and security agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to the Mezzanine Lender in its sole discretion, creating a first priority security interest in favor of the Mezzanine Lender in the Mezzanine Defeasance Collateral (the “Mezzanine Defeasance Security Agreement”), which will provide, among other things, that any payments generated by the Mezzanine Defeasance Collateral will be paid directly to the Mezzanine Lender and applied by the Mezzanine Lender in satisfaction of all amounts then due and payable under the Mezzanine Loan Agreement and any excess received by the Mezzanine Lender from the Mezzanine Defeasance Collateral over the amounts payable by the Mezzanine Borrower under the Mezzanine Loan Agreement or the Mezzanine Note will be refunded to the Mezzanine Borrower promptly after each Monthly Payment Date; (C) a certificate of the Mezzanine Borrower certifying that all of the requirements set forth in the Mezzanine Loan Agreement in connection with the defeasance of the Mezzanine Loan have been satisfied; (D) an opinion of counsel for the Mezzanine Borrower in form and substance satisfactory to the Mezzanine Lender in its sole discretion stating, among other things, that (1) the Mezzanine Lender has a perfected first priority security interest in the Mezzanine Defeasance Collateral and that the Mezzanine Defeasance Security Agreement is enforceable against the Mezzanine Borrower in accordance with its terms; and (2) any REMIC trust formed pursuant to a securitization will not fail to maintain its REMIC status as a result of such defeasance; (E) at the Mezzanine Lender’s request, a rating agency confirmation; (F) a certificate from an approved accountant or a firm of independent public accountants reasonably acceptable to Mezzanine Lender certifying that the Mezzanine Defeasance Collateral is sufficient to satisfy the requirements set forth under clause (iii)(A) above; and (G) such other certificates, documents or instruments as the Lender may reasonably require.

Cure Rights
Prior to accelerating the Amazon Seattle Whole Loan (other than pursuant to any automatic acceleration provided for in the Senior Loan Documents) or commencing any other enforcement action by reason of an Amazon Seattle Loan Event of Default, the Lender will be required to provide written notice of the default which would permit it to accelerate the Amazon Seattle Whole Loan or commence such enforcement action or the circumstances constituting or giving rise to the Amazon Seattle Loan Event of Default to the Mezzanine Lender and any Mezzanine Loan Pledgees entitled to such notice, whether or not the Lender is obligated to give such notice to the Borrower (each, a “Loan Default Notice”), and will provide the Mezzanine Lender and any such Loan Pledgees notice of the failure of the Mezzanine Lender or such Loan Pledgee to exercise the cure rights. In the event the Lender has delivered a Loan Default Notice regarding an Amazon Seattle Loan Event of Default that has not been cured by the Mezzanine Lender pursuant to the Mezzanine Intercreditor Agreement, the Lender, , at the request of Mezzanine Lender, will be required to provide the Mezzanine Lender with copies of any and all material notices relating to such Amazon Seattle Loan Event of Default, pleadings, agreements, motions and briefs served upon, delivered to or with any party to any enforcement action and otherwise keep the Mezzanine Lender reasonably apprised as to the current status of any enforcement action, provided, that Lender’s compliance with its obligations under this sentence will not in and of itself constitute a condition to completing an enforcement action (or otherwise give rise to any right of the Mezzanine Lender to, or to move or otherwise seek to, stay, delay, postpone, prevent or otherwise interfere with such enforcement action), so long as such enforcement action is otherwise implemented in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Mezzanine Intercreditor Agreement. Except in connection with the Borrower’s failure to repay the Amazon Seattle Whole Loan in full in cash on the Maturity Date, the Lender will permit the Mezzanine Lender an opportunity to cure such default in accordance with the provisions described below and will not accelerate the Amazon Seattle Whole Loan (other than pursuant to any automatic acceleration provided for in the Amazon Seattle Loan Documents) or commence an enforcement action on account of such default unless such cure is not effectuated within the applicable cure periods. In the event the Borrower fails to repay the Amazon Seattle Whole Loan in full in cash on the Maturity Date, the Mezzanine Lender has the right to purchase the Amazon Seattle Whole Loan pursuant to the terms set forth below.
If the Amazon Seattle Loan Event of Default identified in a Loan Default Notice is a monetary default relating to the payment of interest or scheduled principal (if any) or a liquidated sum of money, then the Mezzanine Lender has until the later of (A) 10 Business Days after the receipt by the Mezzanine Lender from the Lender of the Loan Default Notice and (ii)10 Business days after the expiration of the Borrower’s cure period with respect to such default provided in the Amazon Seattle Loan Documents (the “Monetary Cure Period”), if any, to cure such monetary Amazon Seattle Loan Event of Default. In the event the Mezzanine Lender elects to cure any such monetary Amazon Seattle Loan Event of Default, the Mezzanine Lender will (x) reimburse Lender (or any servicer) for any interest charged by the Lender on any required (pursuant to an applicable pooling and servicing agreement or trust and servicing agreement in connection with a securitization) advances for the Amazon Seattle Whole Loan (including protective advances) for amounts which the Borrower would be obligated to pay under Amazon Seattle Loan Documents together with payment of all other amounts then due under the Amazon Seattle Loan Documents (excluding any late charges, late fees and default interest) and (y) with respect to any liquidated sum of money that becomes first due and payable pursuant to the Amazon Seattle Loan Documents after the delivery of a Loan Default Notice, the Mezzanine Lender will be required to pay or cause to be paid such sum, in the amount notified to the Mezzanine Lender by the Lender, not more than 5 Business Days after receipt of such notice from
the Lender, in accordance with the Amazon Seattle Whole Loan, subject only to any grace period with respect to such sum provided in the Amazon Seattle Loan Documents and without the additional grace period applicable to the Mezzanine Lender with respect to the initial monetary default pursuant to the Mezzanine Intercreditor Agreement, but subject to any notice requirements under the Amazon Seattle Loan Documents; provided, however, the Mezzanine Lender will not be required to pay default interest or late charges in respect to such sum accruing for the 10 Business Day period after receipt of the Loan Default Notice. The Mezzanine Lender only has the right to cure with respect to monthly scheduled debt service payments on the Amazon Seattle Whole Loan for a period of no more than 6 months in any consecutive 12 month period unless the Mezzanine Lender has commenced and is continuing to diligently pursue its rights against the Equity Collateral. If the Amazon Seattle Loan Event of Default referenced in a Loan Default Notice has been cured such that there is no longer an Amazon Seattle Loan Event of Default, the Mezzanine Lender will be entitled to the benefit of the Monetary Cure Period as if no prior Loan Default Notice had been given. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, with respect to any cure of the Amazon Seattle Whole Loan effectuated by Mezzanine Lender in which Mezzanine Lender was not obligated to pay default interest and/or late fees, if Mezzanine Lender subsequently completes a foreclosure of the Mezzanine Loan, the Borrower will not be required to pay default interest or late fees as they relate to any default so cured.
If the Amazon Seattle Loan Event of Default identified in the Loan Default Notice is of a non-monetary nature, the Mezzanine Lender has until the later of (a) 10 Business Days after the receipt by the Mezzanine Lender from Lender of a Loan Default Notice and (b) 30 Days after the expiration of the Borrower’s cure period, if any, for such non-monetary Amazon Seattle Loan Event of Default provided in the Amazon Seattle Loan Documents (a “Non-Monetary Cure Period”). Notwithstanding the applicable Non-Monetary Cure Period with respect to Mezzanine Lender, if (i) a non-monetary default identified in a Loan Default Notice is susceptible of cure but cannot reasonably be cured within such applicable Non-Monetary Cure Period or, if not reasonably susceptible of cure without foreclosure of the Equity Collateral or not susceptible of cure at all, the Mezzanine Lender is diligently pursuing foreclosure of its Equity Collateral (subject to any applicable stay), and (ii) curative action, which may include, in the case of a non-monetary default that is not reasonably susceptible of cure during the Non-Monetary Cure Period or not susceptible of cure at all, an Equity Collateral Enforcement Action, was promptly commenced and is being diligently pursued by the Mezzanine Lender (subject to any applicable stay) (provided, that, in the case of a non-monetary default that is not reasonably susceptible of cure within the Non-Monetary Cure Period, not reasonably susceptible of cure without foreclosure of its Equity Collateral or not susceptible of cure at all, delivery of written notice to Lender by Mezzanine Lender that Mezzanine Lender intends to attempt in good faith to take curative action and/or commence an Equity Collateral Enforcement Action will be sufficient for the purposes of clauses (i) and (ii), as applicable, if delivered during the Non-Monetary Cure Period and for so long as Mezzanine Lender is continuously (subject to any applicable stay) and diligently pursuing such curative action or Equity Collateral Enforcement Action), the Mezzanine Lender will be given such additional period of time as is reasonably necessary for the Mezzanine Lender in the exercise of due diligence to cure such non-monetary default (or to foreclose if the non-monetary default is not reasonably susceptible of cure without foreclosure of the Equity Collateral, or not susceptible to cure at all) for so long as (i) the Borrower or the Mezzanine Lender makes or causes to be made timely payment of the Borrower’s regularly scheduled monthly principal (if any) and interest payments under the Amazon Seattle Whole Loan and any other amounts due under the Amazon Seattle Loan Documents (other than any late charges, late fees and default interest accruing other than by reason of any failure to make such regularly scheduled monthly principal (if any) and interest payments in a timely manner) (and the Lender will provide notice of such amounts to the Mezzanine Lender who is required to cause such payments to be made (if not paid by the Borrower) upon the later of (1) 5 Business Days of receipt of such notice and (2) the due date under the Amazon Seattle Loan Agreement for such amounts), (ii) such additional period of time does not exceed 90 days, unless such non-monetary default is of a nature that cannot be cured within such 90 days, in which case, the Mezzanine Lender will have such additional time as is reasonably necessary to cure such non-monetary default (or to complete an Equity Collateral Enforcement Action if such non-monetary is not susceptible of cure or cannot be cured without first completing an Equity Collateral Enforcement Action), provided that Mezzanine Lender is continuously and diligently pursuing a cure of such non-monetary default (subject to any applicable stay), (iii) such default is not caused by a proceeding of any Borrower Party and (iv) during such Non-Monetary Cure Period or any extension thereof pursuant to
this sentence, there is no material impairment to the value, use or operation of the Amazon Seattle Mortgaged Property taken as a whole, as reasonably determined by the Lender in good faith as a result of such non-monetary default that cannot be cured by Mezzanine Lender within 3 Business Days after receipt of written notice from Lender describing such material impairment in reasonable detail and which material impairment is cured within such 3 Business Day period. The Non-Monetary Cure Period and any additional cure period granted under this paragraph to the Mezzanine Lender electing to cure a non-monetary default of Borrower will automatically terminate upon (x) the commencement of a voluntary bankruptcy proceeding involving any Borrower Party, (y) a consent to an involuntary bankruptcy proceeding by any Borrower Party or (z) the failure of any Borrower Party to have an involuntary bankruptcy proceeding against it discharged, stayed or dismissed within 90 days of filing thereof, unless in each case such proceeding is dismissed, in which case the right will be reinstated from and after such dismissal to the extent the other conditions of this paragraph are then satisfied (and provided that such Proceeding, prior to its dismissal after the 90th day, did not result in any material change to the Amazon Seattle Whole Loan or the collateral therefor or any Amazon Seattle Loan Documents, the Mezzanine Loan or the collateral therefor or any Mezzanine Loan Documents, the Mezzanine Intercreditor Agreement, or the direct or indirect ownership of Borrower). The phrase “subject to any applicable stay” as used in this paragraph means that the Mezzanine Lender will not be deemed to have failed to be continuously and diligently pursuing a cure or foreclosure if it is prevented from doing so by the existence of a stay or other legal impediment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Mezzanine Intercreditor Agreement, Mezzanine Lender will not be required to pay default interest and/or late fees with respect to non-monetary defaults to the extent the same is cured within the applicable Non-Monetary Cure Period, and with respect to any cure of the Loan effectuated by Mezzanine Lender in which Mezzanine Lender was not obligated to pay default interest and/or late fees, if Mezzanine Lender subsequently completes a foreclosure of the Mezzanine Loan, the Borrower will not be required to pay default interest or late fees as they relate to any default so cured.

within 90 days of the date on which the applicable Purchase Option Notice was given to the Mezzanine Lender (provided, that, if there are one or more Purchase Option Notices that are delivered subsequent to the initial Purchase Option Notice, as long as the event that resulted in the first Purchase Option Notice (or the preceding Purchase Option Notice) has, within the 90 day period from the date on which the applicable Purchase Option Notice was given to Mezzanine Lender, ceased, been cured, been waived by Lender in writing, or otherwise was no longer in effect during such period, such 90 day period will commence on the date of any subsequent Purchase Option Notice given to the Mezzanine Lender), and (vii) all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) actually incurred by Lender in enforcing the terms of the Amazon Seattle Loan Documents, but in all events excluding any yield maintenance premiums, prepayment fees or premiums, any exit fees, any liquidated damage amount, any spread maintenance charges, any late charges or any default interest in excess of interest calculated at the non-default rate (the “Loan Purchase Price”).
The right of Mezzanine Lender to purchase the Amazon Seattle Whole Loan will automatically terminate (x) if such right arose with respect to a specific Loan Purchase Option Event, if such Loan Purchase Option Event ceases to exist (and no other Loan Purchase Option Event exists), or (y) upon a transfer of all of the Amazon Seattle Mortgaged Property by foreclosure sale, sale by power of sale or delivery of a deed in lieu of foreclosure in accordance with the Mezzanine Intercreditor Agreement; provided, however, that, with respect to this clause (y), in no event will the Mezzanine Lender have less than 30 days following receipt of a Purchase Option Notice to deliver a Purchase Election Notice, it being acknowledged and agreed that the Mezzanine Lender will be entitled to bid at any such foreclosure or sale by power of sale as permitted by applicable law.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Mezzanine Intercreditor Agreement, but subject to the next paragraph, Lender and Mezzanine Lender have agreed that: (1) Lender will not accept (or cause any nominee or designee to accept) a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure without first providing Mezzanine Lender with at least 30 Business Days’ prior written notice (a “DIL Notice”) of Lender’s good faith intention to accept a deed-in-lieu within the 60 day period following the delivery of such DIL Notice; provided, however, that in no event will Lender issue a DIL Notice prior to the occurrence of a Loan Purchase Option Event and delivery of a Purchase Option Notice; (2) for 20 Business Days following the delivery of a DIL Notice, the Mezzanine Lender or its designee will have the right, upon delivery of a Purchase Election Notice, to purchase the Loan for the Loan Purchase Price and otherwise in accordance with the above provisions of the Mezzanine Intercreditor Agreement with respect to the purchase of the Amazon Seattle Whole Loan; (3) if Mezzanine Lender fails to consummate the purchase described in the immediately preceding clause (2), within the periods of time provided in such clause (other than due to a default of Lender), Lender will have the right, for 60 days after the expiration of such 30 Business Day period, to accept such deed-in-lieu of foreclosure; and (4) if Lender does not accept such deed-in-lieu of foreclosure prior to the expiration of such 60 day period described in the immediately preceding subparagraph (3), the Lender will thereafter not accept a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure without again complying with all of the provisions of the Mezzanine Intercreditor Agreement.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, (i) Lender may not give a DIL Notice during any Monetary Cure Period or Non-Monetary Cure Period, (ii) if Lender delivers a DIL Notice following the date on which it sends to Mezzanine Lender a Purchase Option Notice, then the provisions set forth in the foregoing paragraph will govern (in lieu of any prior provisions in the Mezzanine Intercreditor Agreement relating to purchase option rights) until the expiration of the 30 Business Day period referred to in the paragraph above, and (iii) if Mezzanine Lender has not effected a purchase as described in paragraph above by the close of business on the 30th Business Day of the period and Lender has not thereafter accepted a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure by the close of business on the 60th day of the period referred to in clause (iii) above, then the prior provisions will once again apply anew for so long as Lender has not accepted (or caused any nominee or designee to accept) a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure.
If a Purchase Election Notice has been timely given by the Mezzanine Lender, the 10 Business Day period following delivery of the Purchase Election Notice during which the Mezzanine Lender is required to consummate such purchase will be extended for an additional 30-days upon payment to the Lender of a non-refundable (unless the Lender defaults in its obligation or is unable to transfer the Amazon
Seattle Whole Loan) of a cash deposit in an amount equal to 10% of the Loan Purchase Price, which cash deposit will be paid within the 10 Business Day period following delivery of the related Purchase Election Notice.
Budget Approval Rights
Subject to the terms of the Mezzanine Loan Documents, the Mezzanine Lender has the right to reasonably approve the annual operating budget for the Amazon Seattle Mortgaged Property to the extent provided by and in accordance with the terms of the Mezzanine Loan Documents. The Mezzanine Lender may require the Mezzanine Borrower to submit the annual operating budget to the Mezzanine Lender for approval prior to any submission to the Lender. The provisions described in this paragraph will not limit or alter the rights of the Lender with respect to the Borrower pursuant to the Amazon Seattle Loan Documents, provided that the Mezzanine Lender will be required to consent to any changes in the annual operating budget reasonably requested by the Lender.

General
Amazon Tenant is the tenant (as successor-in-interest to the original tenant) under an Office Lease with the Borrower (as successor-in-interest to the original landlord thereunder), dated September 11, 2017, as amended by an Amended and Restated First Amendment to Office Lease, dated August 27, 2020, and a Second Amendment to Office Lease dated March 31, 2021 (collectively, the “Amazon Lease”).
The following is a summary of the principal provisions of the Amazon Lease. This summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amazon Lease.
Premises
The leased premises are part of the mixed use office and retail building located at 300 Pine Street (the “Building”), which is comprised of three condominium units (each a “Unit”, and collectively the “Units”), known as “Unit 1”, “Unit 2” and “Unit 3”. The leased premises currently consist of approximately 484,793 rentable square feet (“RSF”) located in Unit 2, comprised of 310,273 RSF referred to as the “Initial Premises” and 174,520 RSF referred to as the “Initial Must-Take Space”. The Initial Premises and Initial Must-Take Space are referred to collectively herein as the “Amazon Leased Premises”.
Pursuant to the Amazon Lease, Borrower is obligated to reconfigure the boundaries of the Units (the “Condominium Revision”) to add approximately 198,056 RSF to Unit 2 (the “Expansion Premises”, which is broken down into the “Tier 1 Expansion Premises” and the “Tier 2 Expansion Premises” . The Tier 1 Expansion Premises contain space described in the Amazon Lease as the “Sky Lobby Premises”, the “Level 2 Premises”, the “New Lobby”, and the “Level 1 Premises”. The Tier 2 Expansion Premises contain space described as the “Basement Level Premises”) and the “Sub-Basement Premises”. Each of the New Lobby, the Level 1 Premises, the Level 2 Premises, the Sky Lobby Premises, the Basement Level Premises and the Sub-Basement Premises are also referred to as a "phase." The Borrower is further obligated to make certain improvements to the Expansion Premises to ready such space for Amazon Tenant as set forth in the Amazon Lease (the “Landlord Work”). Upon the completion of the Condominium Revision and the Landlord Work, the Expansion Premises will become part of the Amazon Leased Premises.
Term and Renewal Options
The Amazon Lease will expire on May 31, 2033, subject to extension (each, an “Extension Option”) by Amazon Tenant for up to three (3) separate renewal terms, each for five (5) additional years, upon notice to Borrower no earlier than eighteen (18) months or later than fifteen (15) months prior to the then-applicable expiration date. Such Extension Options may be for either the entirety of the original Amazon Leased Premises or for less than the entire Amazon Leased Premises. If the exercise of an Extension Option is for less than the entirety of the Amazon Leased Premises (the “Renewed Premises”), then (i) the remaining Amazon Leased Premises must be contiguous (provided that floors will be deemed contiguous even if separated by other floors of the Building if such other floors were not previously leased by Amazon Tenant), (ii) consist of not less than all of the rentable area of 3 full floors of the Building (excluding common elements on any such floors), and (iii) include Level 7 if Level 8 is also included in the Renewed Premises.
Use of Premises
Amazon Tenant may use the Amazon Leased Premises for office use and various operations set forth in the Amazon Lease, and any other legally permitted uses, subject to the terms of the Amended and Restated Condominium Declaration for 300 Pine Street Condominium, dated September 1, 2017 (the “Declaration”); provided, however, that the New Lobby and Level 1 Premises (the “Restricted Space”) must be used for eating and drinking establishments, retail sales, and service or entertainment uses, or any combination thereof.

Operating Expenses
Amazon Tenant is required to pay one hundred percent (100%) of the operating expenses and taxes attributable to Unit 2, provided that with respect to any calendar year following the first full calendar year, controllable operating expenses may not exceed one hundred five percent (105%) of the controllable operating expenses for the prior calendar year, calculated on a cumulative and compounded basis. Amazon Tenant’s share of fees for managing all or a portion of the project cannot exceed two and a half percent (2.5%) of Base Rent, the operating expenses and the taxes paid by Amazon Tenant. The calculation of Amazon Tenant’s share of taxes excludes the amount of the tax credits that Borrower receives in connection with restoring certain historical elements of the Building and project, such that the tax expenses paid by Amazon Tenant may exceed those actually incurred by Borrower on a net basis.
Amazon Tenant must also pay rent for the three hundred fifty (350) parking spaces located in a parking structure located adjacent to the Building, which spaces are leased to Borrower pursuant to a parking lease with the third-party owner. Pursuant to the Amazon Lease, Amazon Tenant is entitled to use all three hundred fifty (350) parking spaces.
Rent Abatement and Offset Rights
Amazon Tenant is entitled to the following rent credits and offset rights, in addition to those set forth in the “Termination and Rent Abatement for Casualty and Condemnation” section below:
(1) All phases of the Expansion Premises have been delivered to Amazon Tenant with the exception of the New Lobby. The anticipated Expansion Premises Delivery Date for the New Lobby is May 31, 2021. If the New Lobby is not delivered to Amazon Tenant by November 30, 2021, subject to extension for any tenant delays and up to ninety (90) days in the aggregate for force majeure delay (the “Expansion Premises Delivery Credit Date”), then Amazon Tenant will be entitled to a Rent credit equal to
one (1) day of Base Rent attributable to the New Lobby for each day following the Expansion Premises Delivery Credit Date for the first forty-five (45) days after the Expansion Premises Delivery Credit Date, and two (2) days of Base Rent attributable to the New Lobby for each day thereafter until the New Lobby is Delivered to Amazon Tenant (the “Expansion Premises Delivery Credit”). The Expansion Premises Delivery Credit will be applied immediately against payments of Rent as they become due.
(2) All phases of the Expansion Premises are in “Final Condition” with the exception of the New Lobby and the Level 1 Premises. If the Level 1 Premises are not in Final Condition by July 15, 2021, and the New Lobby is not in Final Condition by August 15, 2021, in each case subject to extension for tenant delays and up to ninety (90) days in the aggregate for force majeure delay (each, as applicable, the “Expansion Premises Completion Credit Date”), then Amazon Tenant will be entitled to a Rent credit equal to one (1) day of Base Rent attributable to applicable phase for each day following the applicable Expansion Premises Completion Credit Date for the first forty-five (45) days after such Expansion Premises Completion Credit Date, and two (2) days of Base Rent attributable to such phase for each day thereafter until such phase is in Final Condition (the “Expansion Premises Completion Credit”). The Expansion Premises Completion Credit will be immediately applied against payments of Rent as they become due. “Final Condition” means that (i) Borrower has obtained a certificate of occupancy or temporary certificate of occupancy or legal equivalent to the extent required to allow Amazon Tenant to construct its improvements in the Expansion Premises and, following the completion of such improvements, to allow Amazon Tenant to legally occupy the Expansion Premises for general office use; and (ii) the Landlord Work has been completed in accordance with the Amazon Lease and applicable laws, and otherwise in the condition necessary to allow Amazon Tenant, upon the completion of its improvements, to obtain a certificate of occupancy for general office use.
(3) If Amazon Tenant is prepared to commence operations in any portion of the Expansion Premises but is unable to do so because (i) the terms of the Declaration prohibit or restrict Amazon Tenant from using the Expansion Premises for any use permitted under the Amazon Lease or (ii) the Condominium Revision has not yet occurred, then Amazon Tenant will be entitled to a Rent credit equal to one (1) day of Rent attributable to the portion of the Expansion Premises in which Amazon Tenant cannot operate for each day that Amazon Tenant cannot operate in such portion of the Expansion Premises.
(4) If Borrower defaults in its obligations under the Amazon Lease (including performing emergency repairs or remedying an adverse condition), Amazon Tenant may offset any final award in favor of Amazon Tenant (not subject to appeal), which is not paid by Borrower within the time period directed by such award (together with interest), from Rent next due and payable under the Amazon Lease (the “Offset Amount”); provided, however, Amazon Tenant may not deduct the amount of the award against more than fifty percent (50%) of Base Rent next due (until such time as the entire amount of such judgment is deducted) to the extent following a foreclosure or a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure unless Amazon Tenant would not be able to recover the entire Offset Amount during the remainder of the lease term, in which case the Offset Amount will be amortized on a straight line basis (without interest) in equal monthly installments over the remainder of the lease term and Amazon Tenant will be entitled to set-off such monthly installment from each monthly payment of Base Rent payable under the Amazon Lease during the remainder of the lease term.
(5) If Amazon Tenant is prevented from using, and does not use, all or a portion of the Amazon Leased Premises as a result of (i) any repair, maintenance or alteration performed by Borrower, or which Borrower failed to perform, which materially interferes with Amazon Tenant's use of or ingress to or egress from the Premises, (ii) any failure by Borrower to provide services, utilities or ingress to and egress from the Amazon Leased Premises and the common areas, or (iii) the presence of hazardous materials not introduced to the project by Amazon Tenant or any Amazon Tenant related party, or (iv) damage, destruction or condemnation as described below (an "Abatement Event"), and Borrower fails to resolve such Abatement Event after a notice and cure period set forth in the Amazon Lease, then Base Rent and Amazon Tenant's share of operating expenses and taxes will be abated (and Borrower will be responsible for paying the parking charges, to the extent Amazon Tenant does not use such parking), after expiration of the applicable notice and cure period for such time that Amazon Tenant is prevented from using the
Premises, in the proportion that the rentable area of the portion of the Amazon Leased Premises that Amazon Tenant is prevented from using bears to the total rentable area of the Premises.
Default
Each of the following constitutes an event of default by Amazon Tenant: (i) failure to pay any rent or other charge required under the Amazon Lease within five (5) business days following receipt of written notice from Borrower, (ii) failure to observe or perform according to the provisions of the Amazon Lease relating to (A) the use of the Amazon Leased Premises to the extent relating to illegal acts or hazardous materials, (B) assignment and subletting to the extent relating to a transfer made without Borrower’s consent, (C) estoppel certificates, or (D) mortgages or ground leases affecting the Premises, where such failure continues for more than five (5) business days after notice from Borrower, and (iii) failure to perform or observe any other requirement of the Amazon Lease where such failure continues for thirty (30) days after written notice from Borrower (subject to a reasonable extension beyond such thirty (30) days if the breach cannot be cured within such thirty (30) days and Amazon Tenant is diligently pursuing the cure). Upon the occurrence of an event of default by Amazon Tenant, Borrower, may, among other things, elect to terminate the Amazon Lease and recover any unpaid rent.
Termination and Rent Abatement for Casualty and Condemnation
Casualty
Subject to the termination rights described below, in the event of a casualty, Amazon Tenant is required to repair and restore its improvements installed in the and Borrower is required to restore the Building and any common areas. If such casualty materially interferes with Amazon Tenant’s business operations or damages the Amazon Leased Premises or common areas necessary to Amazon Tenant's occupancy, and all or a portion of the Amazon Leased Premises are not occupied by Amazon Tenant as a result thereof, then rent will be proportionally abated for the period of repair and restoration (and for any additional period reasonably required for Amazon Tenant’s restoration of any improvements or equipment installed by Amazon Tenant), in the proportion which the area of the Amazon Leased Premises, if any, in which the casualty or related restoration work materially interferes with Amazon Tenant’s operations (and is not occupied by Amazon Tenant) bears to the total area of the Premises.
Borrower may elect not to rebuild and/or restore the Amazon Leased Premises, Building and/or the project, and instead terminate the Amazon Lease if, by notifying Amazon Tenant in writing of such termination within thirty (30) days after the date of discovery of the damage, such notice to include a termination date giving Amazon Tenant sixty (60) days to vacate the Amazon Leased Premises, but Borrower may so elect only if the Building or the project is damaged by casualty, whether or not the Amazon Leased Premises are affected, and one or more of the following conditions is present: (i) in Borrower's reasonable judgment, repairs cannot reasonably be completed within one hundred eighty (180) days after commencement (when such repairs are made without the payment of overtime or other premiums), (ii) the damage is not fully covered by Borrower's insurance policies (or would not have been covered had Borrower maintained the standard insurance coverage), and the cost to repair such uninsured casualty exceeds (1) $10,000,000 in lease year 1 through lease year 5, (2) $9,000,000 in lease year 6, (3) $8,000,000 in lease year 7, (4) $7,000,000 in lease year 8, (5) $6,000,000 in lease year 9 or (6) $5,000,000 in lease year 10 and each subsequent lease year, or (iii) the damage is material and occurs during the last twelve (12) months of the Amazon Lease.
If Borrower does not elect to terminate the Amazon Lease pursuant to Borrower’s termination rights described above, and either (i) the repairs cannot, in the reasonable opinion of Borrower, be completed within one hundred eighty (180) days after being commenced, or (ii) the damage is material and occurs during the last twelve (12) months of the Amazon Lease, Amazon Tenant may elect to terminate the Amazon Lease, provided each of the following conditions is satisfied: (1) the damage to the project by fire or other casualty was not caused by the gross negligence or intentional act of Amazon Tenant or its partners or subpartners and their respective officers, agents, servants, employees, and independent contractors, (2) as a result of the damage, Amazon Tenant cannot reasonably conduct business from the Premises, and (3) Amazon Tenant is not then in default under the Amazon Lease, beyond applicable notice and cure periods. In addition, Amazon Tenant may terminate the Amazon Lease upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Borrower if the actual restoration is not completed within sixty (60) days after the end of the estimated restoration period, subject to extension for force majeure for up to sixty (60) days and for tenant delays; provided, however, if Borrower completes the restoration in such thirty (30) day notice period, Amazon Tenant's notice of termination will be null and void and the Amazon Lease will continue in full force and effect.
Condemnation
If all or substantially all of the Amazon Leased Premises is taken by eminent domain or condemnation, or if any adjacent property or street is so taken or condemned, or reconfigured or vacated in such manner as to require the use, reconstruction or remodeling of any part of the Amazon Leased Premises, Borrower will have the option to terminate the Amazon Lease effective as of the date possession is to be surrendered. If more than 25% of the RSF of the Amazon Leased Premises is taken, or if all reasonable access to the Amazon Leased Premises is substantially impaired, in each case for more than one hundred eighty (180) days, Amazon Tenant will have the option to terminate the Amazon Lease effective as of the date possession is required to be surrendered.
In the event of a temporary taking of all or any portion of the Amazon Leased Premises for a period of one hundred eighty (180) days or less, then the Amazon Lease will not terminate but the Base Rent and the additional rent will be abated for the period of such taking in proportion to the ratio that the RSF of the Amazon Leased Premises taken bears to the total RSF of the Amazon Leased Premises, and Borrower will be entitled to receive the entire award made in connection with any such temporary taking, except to the extent that a portion of such award is attributable to Amazon Tenant's loss of business.
Additional Early Termination Rights
(1) If Borrower fails to cure an Abatement Event within one hundred eighty (180) days after receipt of notice from Amazon Tenant, Amazon Tenant will have the right to terminate the Amazon Lease during the first ten (10) business days of each calendar month following the end of such one hundred eighty (180) day period until such time as Borrower has cured the Abatement Event, which right must be exercised by delivery of thirty (30) days' notice to Borrower during such ten (10) business-day period. Amazon Tenant's notice will be null and void if Borrower thereafter cures the Abatement Event within such thirty (30) day period.
(2) If any portion of the Expansion Premises (other than the Restricted Space) cannot be used as office space or any portion of the Restricted Space cannot be used for service and entertainment uses due to the Borrower’s failure to attain the necessary change in use of such space, then in addition to all other rights and remedies available to Amazon Tenant, Amazon Tenant will have the right to terminate Amazon Tenant’s lease of the affected area by giving not less than ninety (90) days prior written notice to Borrower of such termination, provided that, if Borrower is able to cure such violation within such ninety (90) day period, such termination will not be effective, and Amazon Tenant’s lease of the affected area will continue in full force and effect.
(3) If the Expansion Premises Delivery Date for the New Lobby has not occurred by February 28, 2022, subject to extension for tenant delays and for up to ninety (90) days in the aggregate for force majeure delay, then Amazon Tenant has the right to continue receiving the Expansion Premises Delivery Credit, or to terminate the Amazon Tenant’s obligation to lease the New Lobby by giving a termination
notice to Borrower, which will be effective upon the date occurring sixty (60) days following receipt by Borrower of such notice, but only to the extent Borrower has not caused the Delivery Condition to occur by such 60th day.
(4) If the Level 1 Premises are not in Final Condition by January 31, 2022, or the New Lobby is not in Final Condition by February 28, 2022, in each case subject to extension for tenant delays and for up to ninety (90) days in the aggregate for force majeure delay, then Amazon Tenant has the right to continue receiving the Expansion Premises Completion Credit, or to terminate Amazon Tenant’s obligation to lease such phase of the Expansion Premises by giving a termination notice to Borrower, effective upon the date occurring sixty (60) days following receipt by Borrower of such termination notice, but only to the extent Borrower has not caused the Final Condition to occur by such 60th day.
Upon the termination of any phase of the Expansion Premises pursuant to (3) or (4) above, Borrower will pay Amazon Tenant (the “Termination Reimbursement”), equal to the equitably prorated portion of the reasonably demonstrated, actual out-of-pocket amounts paid by Amazon Tenant to third parties for (i) legal fees in connection with the preparation and negotiation of the First Amendment and any construction agreements related to the construction of Amazon Tenant’s improvements in such phase, (ii) design and consulting fees paid to the architect or engineers or any other consultants reasonably engaged by Amazon Tenant in connection with the construction of Amazon Tenant’s improvements in such phase, and (iii) costs of construction of Amazon Tenant’s improvements in such phase in excess of any portion of the Improvement Allowance attributable to such phase paid to Amazon Tenant, including amounts paid to the contractor or any other of Amazon Tenant’s agents; provided, however, in no event will Termination Reimbursement exceed $1,000,000.00. The Termination Reimbursement will not include, and in the event of the termination of the First Amendment as provided in the Amazon Lease, Amazon Tenant will not receive, any of the Expansion Premises Delivery Credit and/or Expansion Premises Completion Credit Date.
Right of First Offer to Lease
Provided Amazon Tenant is not in default under the Amazon Lease, Amazon Tenant has a continuous right of first offer (the “Right of First Offer”) to lease any space in the Building that is owned by Borrower and is not then leased by Amazon Tenant (the “First Offer Space”), provided that such First Offer Space will not include, (i) must-take space that is terminated by Amazon Tenant pursuant to the terms of the work letter attached to the Amazon Lease and which must-take space Amazon Tenant also had a right to reinstate pursuant to the work letter, but was not reinstated by Amazon Tenant, or (ii) space that was part of the Amazon Leased Premises, but was not leased by Amazon Tenant as part of the Renewed Premises.
Prior to leasing the First Offer Space, Borrower must deliver a written notice to Amazon Tenant describing the First Offer Space that is available and the economic terms upon which Borrower is willing to lease such space. If Amazon Tenant wishes to exercise its Right of First Offer, it must deliver notice within twenty (20) business days after its receipt of Borrower’s notice. If Amazon Tenant fails to do so, Borrower may enter into a lease with a third party; provided, however, that if the combined economic terms are reduced by more than 5% as compared to those set forth in the notice to Amazon Tenant, Borrower must again offer the First Offer Space to Amazon Tenant on the terms described herein. The Right of First Offer is personal only to the original tenant and any approved assignee and is binding on any future owner of such space.
Right of First Refusal to Purchase
Provided that Amazon Tenant is not in default under the Amazon Lease, Amazon Tenant has an ongoing right of first refusal to purchase (the “Right of First Refusal to Purchase”) Unit 2 or any other Unit owned by Borrower when Borrower receives an offer to sell such portion (the “Purchase ROFO Property”) to certain competitors specified in the Amazon Lease (the “Restricted Co-Tenancies”) In the event Borrower elects to (i) dispose of or transfer the Purchase ROFO Property, or grant an option to dispose of or otherwise transfer the Purchase ROFO Property (excluding the granting of a mortgage, deed of trust or other security instrument and the leasing of space or granting of easements or dedications of portions of
the project pursuant to applicable laws) or (ii) convey the direct or indirect controlling ownership interests in the Borrower, Borrower must first provide Amazon Tenant with a copy of the written offer from the Restricted Co-Tenancies (excluding any portions subject to a confidentiality agreement) and a commercially reasonable and customary proposed agreement of purchase and sale. Amazon Tenant will have thirty (30) days following receipt of such offer materials to deliver written notice that it either declines or accepts Borrower’s offer. If Amazon Tenant does not exercise its Right of First Refusal to Purchase, or exercises its Right of First Refusal to Purchase, but does not proceed with the purchase, or Borrower and Amazon Tenant fail to execute a purchase agreement within thirty (30) days after Tenant exercised its Right of First Refusal to Purchase, then Borrower will be free to sell the Purchase ROFO Property to the Restricted Co-Tenancies on economic terms that are not more than five percent (5%) lower, in the aggregate, than the terms offered to Amazon Tenant. If the Restricted Co-Tenancies negotiates a purchase on terms that are more than five percent (5%) lower than those offered to Amazon Tenant, the Right of First Refusal to Purchase process restarts. Amazon Tenant’s Right of First Refusal to Purchase is personal to the original tenant and any permitted transferee, and is binding on any future owner.
Restricted Co-Tenancies
So long as the original tenant or a permitted transferee is not in default after the expiration of any applicable notice and cure period, and continues to directly lease and occupy at least all of the rentable area in three (3) full floors of the Building, Borrower is prohibit from entering into a direct lease, or consenting to a sublease or other occupancy agreement over which Borrower has consent rights, for any space in the Building, including the Units, or selling or granting signage rights to or by any Restricted Co-Tenancies. Amazon Tenant can provide Borrower with a list of up to eleven (11) Restricted Co-Tenancies in January of each lease year. This provision is binding on any future owner.
Assignment and Subletting
Except for a Permitted Amazon Transfer (which will not require Borrower’s consent), Amazon Tenant may not, without the prior written consent of Borrower (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), assign, mortgage, pledge, hypothecate, encumber, or permit any lien to attach to, or otherwise transfer, the Amazon Lease or any interest thereunder, permit any assignment, or other transfer of the Amazon Lease or any interest thereunder by operation of law, sublet the Amazon Leased Premises or any part thereof, or enter into any license or concession agreements or otherwise permit the occupancy or use of the Amazon Leased Premises or any part thereof by any persons other than Amazon Tenant and its employees and contractors. All of the foregoing are collectively referred to as ("Amazon Transfers"). As a condition to Borrower’s consent to an Amazon Transfer, Amazon Tenant must pay Borrower fifty percent (50%) of all rent, additional rent or other consideration payable by the transferee in connection with the Amazon Transfer in excess of the Rent and additional rent payable by Amazon Tenant under the Amazon Lease, on a per RSF basis if less than all of the Premises is transferred, after deducting certain reasonable expenses incurred by Amazon Tenant as described in the Amazon Lease.
“Permitted Amazon Transfer” means (i) an Amazon Transfer to an affiliate of Amazon Tenant, (ii) a sale of corporate shares of capital stock in Amazon Tenant in connection with an initial public offering of Amazon Tenant’s stock on a nationally-recognized stock exchange, (iii) an assignment of the Amazon Lease to an entity which acquires all or substantially all of the stock or assets of Amazon Tenant, or (iv) an assignment of the Amazon Lease to an entity which is the resulting entity of a merger or consolidation of Amazon Tenant.
Tenant Improvement Allowances and Landlord Work
For the Tier 1 Expansion Premises, Amazon Tenant is entitled to a improvement allowance (the “Improvement Allowance”) in the amount of $80.00 per RSF ($5,773,840), plus (ii) $771,500 as a restroom allowance, regardless of the actual cost of the restroom work. In addition, Borrower will reimburse Amazon Tenant up to $0.15 per RSF of the Expansion Premises for costs expended by Amazon Tenant for initial space planning for its improvements. If the Improvement Allowance is not fully utilized by Amazon Tenant within 2 years following the applicable Expansion Commencement Date, then such unused amounts will
revert to Borrower. There is no Improvement Allowance for the Tier 2 Expansion Premises. The Improvement Allowance for the Initial Premises and Initial Must-Take Space has been fully disbursed.
