In determining whether or not the interest paid or payable under any specific contingency exceeds the highest lawful rate, Borrower and Lender shall, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, (a) characterize any non-principal payment as an expense, fee, or premium, rather than as interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effect thereof, and (c) spread the total amount of interest throughout the entire contemplated term of the Loan so that the interest rate is uniform throughout such term; provided, that if the Loan is paid and performed in full prior to the end of the full contemplated term thereof, and if the interest received for the actual term thereof exceeds the maximum lawful rate, Lender shall refund to Borrower the amount of such excess, or credit the amount of such excess against the aggregate unpaid principal balance of the Loan at the time in question.

Borrower shall have the option to extend the term of the Loan beyond the Stated Maturity Date for two (2) successive terms (each, an “Extension Option”) of one (1) year each to (y) the Payment Date occurring in March 2015 (the “First Extended Maturity Date”, and (z) the Payment Date occurring in March 2016 (the “Second Extended Maturity Date”; each of the First Extended Maturity Date and the Second Extended Maturity Date, the “Extended Maturity Date”), respectively,provided, as a condition precedent to the effectiveness of each Extension Option, at least thirty (30) days prior to the commencement of the then applicable Maturity Date, Borrower shall notify Lender in writing of its election to extend the Maturity Date and deliver to Lender one or more Replacement Rate Caps, which Replacement Rate Caps shall be effective commencing on the first day of such Extension Option and shall have a maturity date not earlier than the end of the Interest Period in which the Maturity Date, as extended pursuant to the terms of thisSection 2.3, falls. All references in this Agreement and in the other Loan Documents to the Maturity Date shall mean the applicable Extended Maturity Date in the event the applicable Extension Option is exercised. Any extension of the Maturity Date shall not operate as, or be deemed a waiver of, any Default or Event of Default under the Loan Documents or prejudice or otherwise affect any rights or remedies of Lender under the Loan Documents. In the event any Senior Mezzanine Loan Borrower exercises a Senior Mezzanine Extension Option pursuant to and in accordance with the Senior Mezzanine Loan Agreements the term of the Loan shall be deemed to be extended through the Extended Maturity Date applicable with respect to such Senior Mezzanine Extension Option regardless of whether any of the foregoing conditions to extension have been satisfied by Borrower.
(c)Payments after Default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, overdue interest and other amounts due in respect of the Loan shall accrue at the Default Rate. Interest at the Default Rate shall be computed from the occurrence of the Event of Default until the earlier of (x) the actual receipt and collection of the Debt (or that portion thereof that is then due) and (y) the cure of such Event of Default. To the extent permitted by applicable law, interest at the Default Rate shall be added to the Debt, shall itself accrue interest at the same rate as the Loan and shall be secured by the Pledge Agreement. This paragraph shall not be construed as an agreement or privilege to extend the date of the payment of the Debt, nor as a waiver of any other right or remedy accruing to Lender by reason of the occurrence of any Event of Default, nor as a waiver of the obligation of Borrower to pay the Debt as and when due hereunder; the acceptance of any payment from Borrower shall not be deemed to cure or constitute a waiver of any Event of Default; and Lender retains its rights under this Agreement to accelerate and to continue to demand payment of the Debt upon the happening of and during the continuance of any Event of Default, despite any payment by Borrower to Lender.
(d)Late Payment Charge. If any principal (other than the full principal amount payable on the Maturity Date) or interest payment is not paid by Borrower on or before the date on which it is due, Borrower shall pay to Lender upon demand an amount equal to the lesser of five percent (5%) of such unpaid sum or the maximum amount permitted by applicable law in order to defray the expense incurred by Lender in handling and processing such delinquent payment and to compensate Lender for the loss of the use of such delinquent payment. Any such amount shall be secured by the Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents to the extent permitted by applicable law.
-55-
(e)Method and Place of Payment. Each payment by Borrower hereunder or under the Note shall be payable at such place as Lender may designate from time to time in writing, on the date such payment is due, to Lender by deposit to such account as Lender may designate by written notice to Borrower. Each payment by Borrower hereunder or under the Note shall be made in funds settled through the New York Clearing House Interbank Payments System or other funds immediately available to Lender by 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date such payment is due, to Lender by deposit to such account as Lender may designate by written notice to Borrower. Whenever any payment hereunder or under the Note shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the first Business Day preceding such scheduled due date.
(f)Additional Payment Provisions.
(i) If at any time after the date hereof, Lender (which shall include, for purposes of this Section 2.3, any corporation controlling Lender) reasonably determines that due to the adoption or modification of any Legal Requirement regarding taxation, Lender’s required levels of reserves, deposits, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance or capital (including any allocation of capital requirements or conditions), or similar requirements, or any interpretation or administration thereof by any Tribunal or compliance of Lender with any of such requirements, has or would have the effect of (a) increasing Lender’s costs relating to the Loan, or (b) reducing the yield or rate of return of Lender on the Loan, to a level below that which Lender could have achieved but for the adoption or modification of any such requirements, Borrower shall, within fifteen (15) days of any request by Lender, pay to Lender such additional amounts as (in Lender’s sole judgment, after good faith and reasonable computation) will compensate Lender for such increase in costs or reduction in yield or rate of return of Lender (a “Consequential Loss”). No failure by Lender to immediately demand payment of any additional amounts payable hereunder shall constitute a waiver of Lender’s right to demand payment of such amounts at any subsequent time. Nothing herein contained shall be construed or so operate as to require Borrower to pay any interest, fees, costs or charges greater than is permitted by applicable Law.
(ii) All payments made by Borrower hereunder shall be made free and clear of, and without reduction for or on account of, income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions, reserves or withholdings imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authorities, which are imposed, enacted or become effective on or after the date hereof (such non-excluded taxes being referred to collectively as “Foreign Taxes”), excluding (a) taxes imposed on or measured by a Person’s overall net income (however denominated), and franchise taxes imposed on it (in lieu of net income taxes), by the jurisdiction (or any political subdivision thereof) under the laws of which such recipient is organized or in which its principal office is located or, in the case of any Lender, in which its applicable lending office is located; (b) any branch profits taxes imposed by the United States or any similar tax imposed by any other jurisdiction in which Borrower is located; (c) in the case of a Foreign Lender, any
-56-
withholding tax that is imposed on amounts payable to such Foreign Lender at the time such Foreign Lender becomes a party hereto (or designates a new lending office) or is attributable to such Foreign Lender’s failure or inability (other than as a result of a change in law) to comply withSection 2.3(f)(iii) hereof, except to the extent at the time such Foreign Lender was assigned its interest in the obligations hereunder, such Foreign Lender’s assignor was entitled to receive additional amounts from Borrower with respect to such withholding tax pursuant toSection 2.3(f)(iii) hereof; and (d) any interest, penalties, or additions to taxes described in clauses (a) through (c). If any Foreign Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to Lender hereunder and such Foreign Taxes are not a result of activities of Lender unrelated to the Loan or Borrower, the amounts so payable to Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to Lender (after payment of all Foreign Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rate or in the amounts specified hereunder. Whenever any Foreign Tax is payable pursuant to applicable law by Borrower, as promptly as possible thereafter, Borrower shall send to Lender an original official receipt, if available, or certified copy thereof showing payment of such Foreign Tax. Borrower hereby indemnifies Lender for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by Lender which may result from any failure by Borrower to pay any such Foreign Tax when due to the appropriate taxing authority of which Lender has provided Borrower with prior written notice, if possible, or any failure by Borrower to remit to Lender the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, and any Foreign Taxes which Lender is required to pay directly to any taxing authority. Lender’s inability to notify Borrower of any such Foreign Tax in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence shall in no way relieve Borrower of its obligations under thisSection 2.3(f)(ii).
(iii) If Lender is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of any Foreign Taxes with respect to payments under this Agreement, Lender shall deliver to Borrower, at the time or times as reasonably requested by Borrower in writing, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate. Lender shall not be entitled to claim compensation pursuant to thisSection 2.3(f) for any Foreign Taxes to the extent that such Foreign Taxes result from a failure to comply with the requirements of this paragraph. In the event that Borrower is resident for tax purposes in the United States, any Foreign Lender shall, if legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrower on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of Borrower, but only if such Foreign Lender is legally entitled to do so), whichever of the following is applicable:
(A) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party;
(B) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service From W-8ECI;
(C) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code: (i) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not: (1) a
-57-
“bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code; (2) a “10 percent shareholder” of Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code; or (3) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code; and (ii) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN; or
(D) any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States federal withholding tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit Borrower to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.
(iv) If Lender receives a refund of a Foreign Tax for which a payment has been made by Borrower pursuant to this Agreement, which refund in the good faith judgment of Lender is attributable to such payment made by Borrower, then Lender shall reimburse Borrower for such amount (together with any interest received thereon) as Lender determines to be the proportion of the refund as will leave it, after such reimbursement, in no better or worse position than it would have been in if the payment had not been required. To the extent the use of a certain lending office by Lender has resulted in any Foreign Taxes, increased cost or reduction in amounts received or receivable hereunder, Lender shall make reasonable efforts, but not be obligated, to designate another lending office with the object of avoiding the consequence of the event giving rise to such circumstances.
(v) If any requirement of law or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof, shall hereafter make it unlawful for Lender to make or maintain a Loan with the Note Rate being based on LIBOR as contemplated hereunder, (i) the obligation of Lender hereunder to make or continue the Loan based on LIBOR or to convert the Loan from the Static LIBOR Rate to the LIBOR Rate shall be canceled forthwith and (ii) any outstanding LIBOR Loan shall be converted automatically to a loan bearing interest at the Static LIBOR Rate (the “Static LIBOR Rate Loan”) on the next succeeding Payment Date or within such earlier period as required by law. Borrower hereby agrees promptly to pay Lender, upon demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate Lender for any costs incurred by Lender in making any conversion in accordance with this Agreement, including any interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to make or maintain the LIBOR Loan hereunder. If Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to thisSection 2.3(f)(v), Lender shall provide Borrower with not less than ninety (90) days written notice specifying in reasonable detail the event by reason of which it has become so entitled and the additional amount required to fully compensate Lender for such additional costs. Lender’s notice of such costs, as certified to Borrower, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
-58-
(vi) In the event that any change in any requirement of law or in the interpretation or application thereof, or compliance by Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) hereafter issued from any central bank or other Governmental Authority:
(A) shall hereafter impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of Lender which is not otherwise included in the determination of the LIBOR Rate hereunder,
(B) shall hereafter have the effect of reducing the rate of return on Lender’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which Lender could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration Lender’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by any amount deemed by Lender to be material; or
(C) shall hereafter impose on Lender any other condition and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Lender of making, renewing or maintaining loans or extensions of credit or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder;
then, in any such case, Borrower shall promptly pay Lender, upon demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate Lender for such additional cost or reduced amount receivable which Lender deems to be material as determined by Lender. If Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to thisSection 2.3(f)(vi), Lender shall provide Borrower with not less than ninety (90) days written notice specifying in reasonable detail the event by reason of which it has become so entitled and the additional amount required to fully compensate Lender for such additional cost or reduced amount. A certificate as to any additional costs or amounts payable pursuant to the foregoing sentence submitted by Lender to Borrower shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. This provision shall survive payment of the Note and the satisfaction of all other obligations of Borrower under this Agreement and the Loan Documents.
(vii) Borrower agrees to indemnify Lender and to hold Lender harmless from any loss, cost, expense, penalty, claim or liability, including any loss incurred in obtaining, prepaying, liquidating or employing deposits or other funds from third parties and any loss of yield which Lender sustains or incurs (as determined by Lender in its judgment reasonably exercised) as a consequence of (i) any default by Borrower in payment of the principal of or interest on a LIBOR Loan, including any such loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain a LIBOR Loan hereunder, (ii) any prepayment (whether voluntary or mandatory) of the LIBOR Loan that did not include all interest which had accrued (or would have accrued) at the Note Rate through the end of the related Interest Period, including such loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain the LIBOR Loan hereunder, and (iii) the conversion (for any reason whatsoever, whether voluntary or involuntary) of the Note Rate from the LIBOR Rate to the Static LIBOR Rate with respect to any portion of the outstanding principal amount of the Loan then bearing interest at the LIBOR Rate on a date other than the Payment Date immediately following the last day of an Interest
-59-
Period, including such loss or expenses arising from interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain a LIBOR Loan hereunder (the amounts referred to in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) are herein referred to collectively as the “Breakage Costs”); provided Borrower shall not indemnify Lender from any loss or expense arising from Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The obligations of Borrower under thisSection 2.3(f)(vii) shall survive any termination of the Loan Documents and payment of the Note in full and the satisfaction of all other obligations of Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and shall not be waived by any delay by Lender in seeking such compensation. Lender shall have no obligation to purchase, sell and/or match funds in connection with the funding or maintaining of the Loan or any portion thereof.
(viii) Lender shall not be entitled to claim compensation pursuant to thisSection 2.3(f) for any Foreign Taxes, increased cost or reduction in amounts received or receivable hereunder, or any reduced rate of return, which was incurred or which accrued more than one hundred eighty (180) days before the date Lender notified Borrower of the change in law or other circumstance on which such claim of compensation is based and delivered to Borrower a written statement setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for calculating the additional amounts owed to Lender under thisSection 2.3(f), which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error.
(ix) All payments made by Borrower hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall be made irrespective of, and without any deduction for, any setoff, defense or counterclaims.
(x) Remittances in payment of any part of the Loan in less than the required amount in immediately available U.S. funds shall not, regardless of any receipt or credit issued therefor, constitute payment until the required amount is actually received by the holder hereof in immediately available U.S. funds and shall be made and accepted subject to the condition that any check or draft may be handled for collection in accordance with the practices of the collecting bank or banks.
Section 2.4Prepayments.
(a)Voluntary Prepayments.
(i) Borrower shall only have the right to prepay the Loan in whole or in part prior to the Stated Maturity Date in accordance with thisSection 2.4.
(ii) At any time other than during the time period in any calendar month from and including the day after the Payment Date through and including the day prior to the Determination Date, Borrower may prepay the Loan at any time upon not less than ten (10) Business Days prior written notice to Lender (such prepayment, including any prepayment associated with a Property Release, and any prepayments in respect of the Additional Paydown Requirement, a “Voluntary Prepayment”), provided, that, such notice may be rescinded or modified by Borrower upon delivery of written notice to Lender on or prior to the date specified for prepayment in the applicable notice, provided
-60-
that Borrower shall be responsible for the reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with the rescission of such prepayment notice. Any such Voluntary Prepayment shall include all additional amounts required to be paid by Borrower and all other amounts owing by Borrower to Lender under the Note and the other Loan Documents, including any Breakage Costs incurred by Lender in connection with the cancellation or termination of a LIBOR or swap contract entered into in connection with the Loan.

For purposes of this Agreement, an involuntary prepayment shall be deemed to include a prepayment of the Loan in connection with or following Lender’s acceleration of the outstanding balance of the Loan, whether or not the Pledge Agreement is satisfied or released by foreclosure (whether under the UCC or otherwise), assignment of equity interests in lieu of foreclosure or by other means, including repayment of the Loan by Borrower or any other Person pursuant to any statutory or common law right of redemption.
(ii) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if the Loan has been divided into two or more components, the weighted average LIBOR Margin of the Loan following any partial prepayment of the Loan (unless such prepayment occurs during the continuance of an Event of Default or is a result of the application of Net Liquidation Proceeds After Debt Service due to a Liquidation Event described inSection 2.4(f)(i)(A) orSection 2.4(f)(i)(B) below shall not be more than the weighted average LIBOR Margin which was applicable to the Loan immediately prior to such prepayment.
(d)Net Liquidation Proceeds After Debt Service; Excess Interest. Borrower shall pay interest for the full final Interest Period in which a prepayment occurs in connection with any prepayment occurring as a result of the application of Insurance Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds, title insurance proceeds or Net Liquidation Proceeds After Debt Service due to a Liquidation Event under clauses (A), (B) or (E) of the definition of Liquidation Event pursuant to the terms of the Senior Mezzanine Loan Documents. Any partial prepayment shall be applied to the last payments of principal due under the Loan. Any mandatory prepayment of the principal of the Loan made pursuant to this Section shall be applied to the reduction of the outstanding principal balance of the Loan.
-61-
(e)Application of Payments to the Note. Except as otherwise specifically set forth inSection 2.4 and without limiting the other provisions of this Agreement, all voluntary and involuntary prepayments on the Note, including from Net Sale Proceeds, shall be applied, to the extent thereof, (a) first, to accrued and unpaid interest on the Note, (b) to the principal of the Note, and (c) thereafter, to any other sums due and unpaid to Lender in connection with the Loan. Following the occurrence of an Event of Default, any prepayment made on the Note shall be applied to accrued but unpaid interest, late charges, accrued fees, the unpaid principal amount of the Note, and any other sums due and unpaid to Lender in connection with the Loan.
(f)Liquidation Events; Mandatory Prepayments.
(i) In the event of (A) any Casualty to any Individual Property or any material portion thereof, (B) any Condemnation of any Individual Property or any material portion thereof, (C) any transfer of any Individual Property or the Property as a whole in connection with a realization thereon following a Mortgage Loan Default, including a foreclosure sale or UCC Sale, (D) any transfer of any Senior Mezzanine Collateral in connection with a realization thereon following any Senior Mezzanine Loan Default, including a foreclosure sale or a sale under the UCC (a “UCC Sale”), (E) any Permitted CIGNA Mortgage Loan Refinancing, or (F) the receipt by any Individual Property Owner of any net proceeds realized under any owner’s title insurance policies of any Individual Property Owner after application of such proceeds by such Individual Property Owner to cure any title defect (each, a “Liquidation Event”) Borrower shall cause the related Net Liquidation Proceeds After Debt Service to be applied in accordance with the Senior Mezzanine Loan Documents.

(ii) Borrower shall notify Lender of any Liquidation Event no later than one (1) Business Day following the first date on which Borrower has knowledge of such event. Borrower shall be deemed to have knowledge of (i) a sale (other than a foreclosure sale) of any Individual Property or the Senior Mezzanine Collateral on the date on which a contract of sale for such sale is entered into, and a foreclosure or UCC sale, on the date notice of such foreclosure or UCC sale is given, and (ii) a Permitted CIGNA Mortgage Loan Refinancing, on the date on which a commitment for such refinancing has been entered into. The provisions of thisSection 2.4(f)(ii) shall not be construed to contravene in any manner the restrictions and other provisions regarding refinancing of the Mortgage Loan, Senior Mezzanine Loan or the Sale or Pledge of any Individual Property or the Property as a whole, or the Senior Mezzanine Collateral or the Collateral set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

Borrower will not permit or cause any Individual Property Owner to do or permit anything to be done, the doing of which, or refrain from doing anything, the omission of which, will impair or tend to impair the security of the Individual Property leased to such Individual Property Owner under any Ground Lease or will be grounds for declaring a forfeiture of any Ground Lease.
(b) Borrower shall cause each Individual Property Owner to enforce the Ground Leases and will not terminate, modify, cancel, change, supplement, alter or amend any of the Ground Leases (except in connection with a buyout (a “Ground Lease Buyout”) of the fee title held by any Ground Lessor where such fee contemporaneously becomes subject to the Lien of the related Mortgage), or waive, excuse, condone or in any way release or discharge any Ground Lessor of or from any of the material covenants and conditions to be performed or observed by the Ground Lessor under the applicable Ground Lease. Borrower hereby expressly covenants with Lender not to permit or cause any Individual Property Owner to cancel, surrender, amend, modify or alter in any way the terms of any Ground Lease. Borrower hereby
-104-
agrees to cause each Individual Property Owner to assign to Wells Fargo Mortgage Loan Lender, as further security for the payment of the Debt and for the performance and observance of the terms, covenants and conditions of the related Mortgages, all of the rights, privileges and prerogatives of such Individual Property Owner, as tenant under the Ground Leases relating to the Wells Fargo Mortgage Loan Property, and not to surrender the leasehold estate created by such Ground Leases or terminate, cancel, modify, change, supplement, alter or amend such Ground Leases, and any such surrender of the leasehold estate created by such Ground Leases or termination, cancellation, modification, change, supplement, alteration or amendment of such Ground Leases (except in connection with a Ground Lease Buyout) without the prior consent of Lender shall be void and of no force and effect.
(c) Borrower will cause each Individual Property Owner to give Lender prompt (and in all events within two (2) Business Days) notice of (i) any written notice delivered by such Individual Property Owner alleging a default under any Ground Lease, (ii) the receipt by such Individual Property Owner of any written notice of default or alleging a default from any Ground Lessor or (iii) the occurrence of any event known to Borrower, Senior Mezzanine Borrower, Mortgage Loan Borrower or Maryland Owner that, with the passage of time or service of notice, or both, would constitute a default by the Individual Property Owner or Ground Lessor. Borrower will cause each Individual Property Owner to promptly (and in all events within two (2) Business Days) furnish to Lender copies of all information furnished to any Ground Lessor in accordance with the terms of the Ground Leases or the provisions of thisSection 5.26. Borrower will deposit, or will cause each Individual Property Owner to deposit with Lender an exact copy of any written notice received or given by such Individual Property Owner in any way relating to or affecting any Ground Lease which may concern or affect the estate of the related Ground Lessor or such Individual Property Owner thereunder in or under any Ground Lease or in the real estate thereby demised.
(d) Borrower hereby agrees to cause each Individual Property Owner to grant Lender the right, but not the obligation, to perform any obligations of such Individual Property Owner under the terms of any Ground Lease (subject to the prior rights of any CIGNA Mortgage Lender with respect to a CIGNA Mortgage Loan Ground Lease) during the existence of a Default (provided such Default is related to a Ground Lease) or Event of Default or at any time after Lender receives written notice that such Individual Property Owner has defaulted or is about to default under the terms of any such Ground Lease and Borrower hereby agrees to cause such Individual Property Owner to expressly authorize and appoint Lender its attorney-in-fact to perform, upon written notice to such Individual Property Owner, any obligations of such Individual Property Owner under the terms of any such Ground Lease in the name of and upon behalf of such Individual Property Owner, which power of attorney shall be irrevocable and shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest. All costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) so incurred by Lender, shall be treated as an advance secured by the Pledge Agreement, shall bear interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date of payment by Lender until paid in full and shall be paid by Borrower to Lender within five (5) days after demand. No performance by Lender of any obligations of Borrower shall constitute a waiver of any Event of Default arising by reason of Borrower’s failure to perform the same. If Lender shall make any payment or perform any act or take action in accordance with thisSection 5.26, Lender will notify Borrower of the making of any such payment, the performance of any such act, or the taking of any such action promptly after taking such action. In any such event, subject
-105-
to the rights of Ground Lessors specifically reserved under the Ground Leases and the rights of lessees, sublessees and other occupants under any Leases, Lender and any person designated by Lender shall have, and are hereby granted, the right to enter upon any Individual Property at any time and from time to time for the purpose of taking any such action.
(e) To the extent permitted by law, Borrower agrees that the price payable by Borrower or any other person or entity in the exercise of any right of redemption following foreclosure of an Individual Property subject to a Ground Lease shall include all rents paid and other sums advanced by Lender (together with interest thereon at the Default Rate) as ground lessee under the Ground Leases, on behalf of Borrower on account of each applicable Individual Property.
(f) Unless Lender shall otherwise consent, Borrower shall cause each Individual Property Owner to exercise its rights under the Ground Lease and applicable law to ensure that the fee title and the leasehold estate in each Individual Property subject to a Ground Lease shall not merge but shall always be kept separate and distinct, notwithstanding the union of said estates either in Ground Lessor or in a Borrower, or in a third party, by purchase or otherwise except in a Ground Lease Buyout in connection with which Wells Fargo Individual Property Owner has delivered to Wells Fargo Mortgage Loan Lender an amendment to the related Mortgage spreading the lien of the Mortgage over the fee interests and providing title insurance coverage related to the priority of the lien of the Mortgage over such interest.
(g) Intentionally omitted.
(h) Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that if any Ground Lessor shall deliver to Lender a copy of any notice of default sent by such Ground Lessor to Individual Property Owner, as tenant under a Ground Lease (or to Operating Lessee, as subtenant thereunder), Lender shall be entitled (but not obligated) to take or omit to take any action in reliance thereon (and without any duty of inquiry) and in response to such notice.
(i) For any Ground Lease scheduled to mature earlier than fifteen (15) years from the date of this Agreement, Borrower shall cause the applicable Individual Property Owner to exercise each individual option, if any, to extend or renew the term of any Ground Lease promptly (and in all events before the expiration of any applicable deadline to extend under the Ground Lease if such applicable deadline to extend is prior to the latest Extended Maturity Date that may occur with respect to the Loan) after demand by Lender made at any time within one (1) year of the last day upon which any such option may be exercised, and Borrower hereby expressly authorizes and appoints Lender its attorney-in-fact to exercise any such option (subject to any right to do so in favor of a CIGNA Mortgage Lender in the case of a Ground Lease relating to a CIGNA Mortgage Loan Property) in the name of and upon behalf of such Individual Property Owner to so exercise such option if Borrower fails to exercise the same as herein required, which power of attorney shall be irrevocable and shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest.
(j) Borrower shall cause Mortgage Loan Borrower and Maryland Owner to cause each Lease of space at any Individual Property subject to a Ground Lease hereafter made and each renewal of any existing Lease (or any other Lease as may be required by the Ground
-106-
Lease) to provide that, (i) in the event of the termination of the related Ground Lease, the Lease shall not terminate or be terminable by the lessee; (ii) in the event of any action for the foreclosure of the related Mortgage, the Lease shall not terminate or be terminable by the subtenant by reason of the termination of the Ground Lease unless the lessee is specifically named and joined in any such action and unless a judgment is obtained therein against the lessee; and (iii) in the event that the related Ground Lease is terminated as aforesaid, the lessee under the Lease shall attorn to the lessee under such Ground Lease or to the purchaser at the sale of the related Individual Property on such foreclosure, as the case may be.
(k) Borrower shall notify or cause the applicable Individual Property Owner to notify Lender promptly (and in any event within five (5) days) of any claim, suit, action or proceeding relating to the rejection of any Ground Lease. Lender is hereby irrevocably appointed as each Borrower’s attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, with the power to file and prosecute, to the exclusion of each Borrower during an Event of Default, any proofs of claim, complaints, motions, applications, notices and other documents, in any case (other than a CIGNA Mortgage Loan Ground Lease) in respect of the Ground Lessor under the Bankruptcy Code. A Borrower may make any compromise or settlement in connection with such proceedings (subject to Lender’s reasonable approval); provided, however, that Lender shall be authorized and entitled to compromise or settle any such proceeding if such compromise or settlement is made after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default. The applicable Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver, or cause the applicable Individual Property Owner to promptly execute and deliver, to Lender any and all instruments reasonably required in connection with any such proceeding after reasonably timely request therefor by Lender. Except as set forth above, Borrower shall not, and shall not permit any Individual Property Owner to, adjust, compromise, settle or enter into any agreement with respect to such proceedings without the prior written consent of Lender, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.
(l) Borrower shall not, and shall not permit any Individual Property Owner to, without Lender’s prior written consent, elect to treat any Ground Lease as terminated under Section 365(h)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code. Any such election made without Lender’s prior written consent shall be void.
(m) If pursuant to Section 365(h)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, any Individual Property Owner seeks to offset against the rent reserved in any Ground Lease the amount of any damages caused by the non-performance by the Ground Lessor of any of the Ground Lessor’s obligations under the related Ground Lease after the rejection by the Ground Lessor of such Ground Lease under the Bankruptcy Code, Borrower shall, and shall cause the applicable Individual Property Owner to, prior to effecting such offset, notify Lender of its intention to do so, setting forth the amounts proposed to be so offset and the basis therefor. If Lender has failed to object as aforesaid within ten (10) days after notice from Borrower or the applicable Individual Property Owner in accordance with the first sentence of thisSection 5.26(m) (or such shorter period of time as may be necessary to timely assert such offset so long as the inability to afford Lender ten (10) days notice was not due to Borrower’s or the applicable Individual Property Owner’s delay), Borrower may proceed to permit such Individual Property Owner to effect such offset in the amounts set forth in such Borrower’s notice. Neither Lender’s failure to object as aforesaid nor any objection or other communication between Lender and a Borrower
-107-
relating to such offset shall constitute an approval of any such offset by Lender. Borrower shall indemnify and save Lender harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, actions, suits, proceedings, damages, losses, costs and expenses of every nature whatsoever (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) arising from or relating to any such offset by a Borrower against the rent reserved in any Ground Lease.
(n) If, during the continuance of an Event of Default, any action, proceeding, motion or notice shall be commenced or filed in respect of an Individual Property that is subject to a Ground Lease (other than a CIGNA Mortgage Loan Ground Lease) in connection with any case under the Bankruptcy Code, Lender has the option, to the exclusion of an Individual Property Owner that is the lessee under such Ground Lease, exercisable upon notice from Lender to Borrower, to conduct and control any such litigation with counsel of Lender’s choice. Lender may proceed in its own name or in the name of the applicable Individual Property Owner in connection with any such litigation, and Borrower agrees to cause such Individual Property Owner to execute any and all powers, authorizations, consents and other documents required by Lender in connection therewith. Borrower shall pay to Lender all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) paid or incurred by Lender in connection with the prosecution or conduct of any such proceedings within five (5) days after notice from Lender setting forth such costs and expenses in reasonable detail. Any such costs or expenses not paid by Borrower as aforesaid shall be secured by the lien of the Collateral, shall be added to the principal amount of the Debt and shall bear interest at the Default Interest Rate. Borrower shall not, and shall not permit or cause any Individual Property Owner to, commence any action, suit, proceeding or case, or file any application or make any motion, in respect of any Ground Lease in any such case under the Bankruptcy Code without the prior written consent of Lender.
(o) Borrower shall cause an Individual Property Owner that is the lessee under the related Ground Lease to promptly, after obtaining knowledge thereof, notify Lender of any filing by or against any Ground Lessor of a petition under the Bankruptcy Code. Such notice shall set forth any information available to such Individual Property Owner as to the date of such filing, the court in which such petition was filed, and the relief sought therein. Borrower shall cause an Individual Property Owner promptly deliver to Lender following receipt any and all notices, summonses, pleadings, applications and other documents received by such Individual Property Owner in connection with any such petition and any proceedings relating thereto.
(p) If there shall be filed by or against any Individual Property Owner a petition under the Bankruptcy Code, and such Individual Property Owner, as the tenant under any Ground Lease, shall determine to reject the Ground Lease to which it is a party pursuant to Section 365(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, then Borrower shall cause such Individual Property Owner to give Lender not less than ten (10) days’ prior notice of the date on which such Individual Property Owner shall apply to the bankruptcy court for authority to reject such Ground Lease(s). Lender has the right, but not the obligation, to serve upon such Borrower within such 10-day period a notice stating that (i) Lender demands that such Individual Property Owner assume and assign the Ground Lease(s) to Lender pursuant to Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code and (ii) Lender covenants to cure or provide adequate assurance of prompt cure of all defaults and provide adequate assurance of future performance under such Ground Lease(s). If Lender serves upon any Borrower or the Individual Property Owner the notice described in the preceding sentence, the applicable Borrower or Individual Property Owner shall
-108-
not seek to reject such Ground Lease(s) and shall comply with the demand provided for inclause (i) of the preceding sentence within thirty (30) days after the notice has been given, subject to the performance by Lender of the covenant provided for inclause (ii) of the preceding sentence.
(q) Intentionally Omitted.
(r) Borrower shall not select or approve any Person to act as “insurance trustee” or other depositary that holds Proceeds or Awards without first obtaining the prior written consent of Lender (not to be unreasonably withheld).
(s) Within twenty (20) days after receipt of written demand by Lender, but in no event more than two (2) times in any calendar year, Borrower shall use reasonable efforts to cause Mortgage Loan Borrower to obtain from Ground Lessor under each Ground Lease and furnish to Lender an estoppel certificate of Ground Lessor stating the date through which rent has been paid and whether or not there are any defaults thereunder and specifying the nature of such claimed defaults, if any;provided, that any such estoppels shall, to the extent permitted under the applicable Ground Lease, be addressed to Lender, Other Mezzanine Lenders and the Wells Fargo Mortgage Lender or CIGNA Mortgage Lender, as applicable; andprovided, further, that “reasonable efforts” in this clause (s) shall not include the payment of any separate fee by Mortgage Loan Borrower or Maryland Owner to Ground Lessor in connection with any such estoppel certificate.

(i) no act or negligence of Property Owners, or anyone acting for Mortgage Loan Borrower or Maryland Owner, or of any Tenant or other occupant, or failure to comply with the provisions of any Policy, which might otherwise result in a forfeiture of the insurance or any part thereof, shall in any way affect the validity or enforceability of the insurance insofar as Lender is concerned;

(g) Borrower further covenants and agrees that Borrower shall exercise whatever right it has to cause each Manager (or any successor Managers) to maintain at all times during the term of the Loan worker’s compensation insurance as required by Governmental Authorities, provided, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, at all times each Individual Property shall at all times comply with applicable Legal Requirements relating to the maintenance of any such insurance at each such Individual Property.
(h) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, to the extent that the Policies relating to an Individual Property are maintained by a Manager on the date hereof, and such Manager continues after the date hereof to maintain the same or better (as determined by Lender in its reasonable discretion) insurance coverage for such Individual Properties under the related Policies that exists on the date hereof, such Policies shall be deemed to satisfy the requirements of thisSection 8.1, subject, however, to Lender’s right to require other insurance pursuant toSection 8.1(a)(x).

In the event that Borrower requests any consent or approval hereunder and the provisions of this Agreement or any Loan Documents require the receipt of written confirmation from each Rating Agency with respect to the rating on the Securities, or, in accordance with the
-164-
terms of the transaction documents relating to a Securitization, such a rating confirmation is required in order for the consent of Lender to be given, Borrower shall pay all of the costs and expenses of Lender, Lender’s servicer and each Rating Agency in connection therewith, and, if applicable, shall pay any fees imposed by any Rating Agency as a condition to the delivery of such confirmation.

In the event that any action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled, jointly with any other indemnifying party, to participate therein and, to the extent that it (or they) may elect by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party. After notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party under this Section 13.6 the indemnifying party shall be responsible for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party has reasonably concluded that there are any legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to assert such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties.

(e) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnity agreements provided for in Section 13.6(c) or Section 13.6(d) is or are for any reason held to be unenforceable by an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or action in respect thereof) referred to therein which would otherwise be indemnifiable under Section 13.6(c) or Section 13.6(d), the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or action in respect thereof); provided, however, that no Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. In determining the amount of contribution to which the respective parties are entitled, the following factors shall be considered: (i) the indemnified party’s, Borrower’s relative knowledge and access to information concerning the matter with respect to which claim was asserted; (ii) the opportunity to correct and prevent any statement or omission; and (iii) any other equitable considerations appropriate in the circumstances. Lender and Borrower hereby agree that it would not be equitable if the amount of such contribution were determined by pro rata or per capita allocation.
-167-
(f) The liabilities and obligations of Borrower and Lender under this Section 13.6 shall survive the satisfaction of this Agreement and the satisfaction and discharge of the Debt.

(iv) Borrower represents and warrants that it has no present intention currently or in the future to file a voluntary petition for bankruptcy under the Bankruptcy Code.
(v) Neither Borrower nor any of the other Borrower Parties shall under any circumstances resist, hinder, or delay Lender’s enforcement of any rights or remedies it may have under the Loan Documents, including (i) seeking in any state or federal court or any foreign tribunal an injunction or order which may stay or limit Lender’s enforcement of such rights and remedies, (ii) filing a voluntary petition for bankruptcy under the Bankruptcy Code, or any other Creditors’ Rights Laws, and (iii) inducing, supporting, or encouraging any third party to file an involuntary petition against Borrower or any other Borrower Party under the Bankruptcy Code.
(b)Waivers and Assurances in Bankruptcy. If, for any reason, Borrower or any of the other Borrower Parties becomes a debtor in a case under the Bankruptcy Code, then Borrower hereby agrees as follows:
(i) To the extent permitted by applicable law and not inconsistent with Borrower’s discharge of compliance with its fiduciary duty, as advised by counsel, Borrower shall consent, and shall cause the other Borrower Parties to consent, to any termination or modification of the automatic stay under Section 362 of Bankruptcy Code as may be requested by Lender or Agent, and hereby expressly waives, and shall cause each other Borrower Party to waive and not to seek or exercise, any and all rights, protections, and benefits of the automatic stay or similar injunctive relief available under the Bankruptcy Code. Borrower shall not seek, and shall not permit the other Borrower Parties to seek, a supplementary injunction under Section 105 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise to further stay or hinder Lender or Agent in the enforcement of their rights and remedies.
-185-
(ii) Borrower acknowledges and agrees that in the event of its bankruptcy, “adequate protection” for the interests of Lender must, at a minimum, include the following: (a) a cure of all prepetition monetary defaults under the Loan Documents within ninety (90) days from the commencement of the case; (b) the timely performance of all monetary obligations under the Loan Documents arising from and after the commencement of the case; and (c) such debtor shall file within ninety (90) days of the commencement of the case a plan of reorganization which provides for a treatment which is acceptable to Lender, or which leaves the interests of Lender unimpaired. Failure to provide adequate protection on such terms shall constitute a separate and distinct cause for the termination of the automatic stay in the case.
(iii) Borrower shall not, and shall not permit the other Borrower Parties to, seek to modify, impair, or limit the rights and remedies of Lender under Sections 506(c) or 552(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise, and shall not seek to obtain credit or incur debt to be secured by a senior or equal lien on any of the Lender’s collateral pursuant to Section 364(b) or otherwise.
(iv) Borrower shall not, and shall not permit the other Borrower Parties to, propose, support, encourage, induce, or vote in favor of any plan of reorganization that seeks to alter, modify, abridge, or eliminate, in any respect, any of the rights and remedies of Lender or Agent.
Section 20.16General Release.
Borrower, on behalf of itself, all Borrower Parties, and each of their respective past, present and future subsidiaries, affiliates, divisions, directors, shareholders, officers, employees, partners, members, managers, representatives, advisors, servicers, attorneys and agents and each of their respective heirs, transferees, executors, administrators, personal representatives, legal representatives, predecessors, successors and assigns (including any successors by merger, consolidation or acquisition of all or a substantial portion of any such Persons’ assets and business), each in their capacity as such (collectively, the “Releasing Parties”), hereby releases and forever discharges all Indemnified Parties from any and all Liabilities (including any Liabilities which any Releasing Party does not know or suspect to exist in its favor as of the Closing Date, which if known by such Releasing Party might have affected such Releasing Party’s release of an Indemnified Party, and including any Servicing Claims) that are or may be based in whole or part on any act, omission, transaction, event, or other circumstance taking place or existing on or prior to the date hereof, which the Releasing Parties or any of them may have or which may hereafter be asserted or accrue against Indemnified Parties or any of them, resulting from or in any way relating to any act or omission done or committed by Indemnified Parties, or any of them, prior to the date hereof in each case connection with or arising out of the Loan or the Loan Documents. The releases contained in thisSection 20.16 apply to all Liabilities which the Releasing Parties or any of them have or which may hereafter arise against the Indemnified Parties or any of them in connection with or arising out of the Loan or the Loan Documents, as a result of acts or omissions occurring before
-186-
the date hereof, whether or not known or suspected by the parties hereto. Borrower expressly acknowledges that although ordinarily a general release does not extend to claims which the releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his, her or its favor, which if known by him, her or it must have materially affected his, her or its settlement with the party released, Borrower has carefully considered and taken into account in determining to enter into this Agreement the possible existence of such unknown losses or claims. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower, on behalf of itself and all of the Releasing Parties expressly waives any and all rights conferred upon it by any statute or rule of law which provides that a release does not extend to claims which the claimant does not know or suspect to exist in his, her or its favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him, her or it must have materially affected his, her or its settlement with the released party, including the following provisions of California Civil Code Section 1542:
“A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him or her must have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor.”
This release by Releasing Parties shall constitute a complete defense to any Liability released pursuant to this release. Nothing in this release shall be construed as (or shall be admissible in any legal action or proceeding as) an admission by any Co-Lender or any other Indemnified Party that any Liability exists which is within the scope of those hereby released. ThisSection 20.16 shall survive the repayment and performance of all obligations under the Loan Documents, and the reconveyance, foreclosure, or other extinguishment of any related security instruments. For the avoidance of doubt, by agreeing to thisSection 20.16, Releasing Parties represent and acknowledge that none of them may seek to use any of the Liabilities released herein as a set-off of any other obligation that may exist between any Releasing Party and Indemnified Party. In addition, Liabilities released herein shall include any Releasing Party’s right to contribution or any other similar demand that might otherwise exist (and the terms of this sentence shall control over any conflicting provision in any other Loan Document, including the Release and Indemnity).
In no event shall the provisions of thisSection 20.16 be deemed to limit any other release of any Indemnified Parties under any other Loan Document, including the Release and Indemnity, and all such releases of any Indemnified Parties shall be read in the broadest possible manner notwithstanding anything contained herein.
