Administrative Agent will thereafter, on the day of its receipt of each such payment, cause to be distributed to each Lender such Lender’s appropriate share (based upon the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Notes and the respective rates of interest thereunder) of the payments of principal and interest, and its appropriate share of the payments of other sums, in like funds for the account of such Lender’s Applicable Lending Office. Payments by Borrower hereunder or under the Notes or other Loan Documents shall be made without setoff or counterclaim.
Except to the extent otherwise provided in this Agreement, whenever any payment to be made under this Agreement or under the Notes is due on any day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of the payment of interest and, if applicable, fees, as the case may be.
Section 2.06.Monthly Principal and Interest Payments. Borrower shall make monthly payment of principal and interest as follows: monthly payments of the Monthly P&I Amount shall be due and payable on March 1, 2010 and on each Monthly Payment Date thereafter to and including the Maturity Date. Any amount not paid when due (when scheduled, at acceleration or otherwise) shall bear interest thereafter, payable on demand, at the Default Rate. Interest (in the case of Base Rate Loans and LIBOR Loans) shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed in the Interest Period, provided that the first day of the Interest Period shall be included and the last day of said Interest Period shall be excluded. Interest at the Default Rate shall be payable on demand.
Any change in the Prime Rate or the Federal Funds Rate shall be automatically effective as of the day on which such change in rate occurs. Each determination of an interest rate by Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on Borrower in the absence of manifest error.

13 |
C056442/0303008/1557238.9
EXHIBIT 10.1 |
(b) Borrower may elect pursuant to a Rate Request to convert all or any portion of the outstanding Base Rate Loans to LIBOR Loans, provided that no such conversion shall be permitted: (i) when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and Administrative Agent has determined that such a conversion is not appropriate; or (ii) after the date which is one (1) month prior to the Maturity Date;
(c) Borrower may elect pursuant to a Rate Request to convert all or any portion of the outstanding LIBOR Loans to Base Rate Loans (unless, at the time of delivery of such Rate Request, the Base Rate is then less than the LIBO Rate); and
(d) Any LIBOR Loan may be continued upon the expiration date of its then current Interest Period by Borrower pursuant to a Rate Request; provided that no LIBOR Loan may be continued: (i) when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and Administrative Agent has determined that such a continuation is not appropriate; or (ii) after the date that is one (1) month prior to the Maturity Date.
If Borrower fails to submit a Rate Request with respect to the conversion or continuation of an existing LIBOR Loan to Administrative Agent in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement by 11:00 a.m. New York time three (3) Business Days prior to the last day of the Interest Period therefor, Borrower shall be deemed to have elected a LIBOR Loan with an Interest Period of one (1) month (unless such Interest Period would expire after the Maturity Date, in which case the outstanding LIBOR Loan shall automatically be converted to a Base Rate Loan).
Administrative Agent shall, upon its receipt of each Rate Request from Borrower (and upon the conversion of a LIBOR Loan to a Base Rate Loan pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph), promptly notify each Lender either by telephone or by facsimile of the specified amount thereof and the amount of Lender’s portion thereof, the Interest Period and date of commencement thereof, and the Applicable Interest Rate with respect to such portion of the Loan.
Each Rate Request shall be applicable to the Notes in accordance with Lenders’ respective Pro Rata Shares, so that, barring a conversion or suspension of LIBOR Loans by one or more, but not all, Lenders, pursuant to Article III, the outstanding principal amounts of each of the Notes shall contain segments representing Base Rate Loans and/or LIBOR Loans, each of which segments shall correspond to a proportional segment of the outstanding principal amount of every other Note.
Section 2.08.Minimum Amounts and Maximum Number of Tranches. With regard to the Loan as a whole, all elections, conversions and continuations of LIBOR Loans or Base Rate Loans shall be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000,000. Borrower shall not have the right to have more than three (3) distinct Interest Periods, in the aggregate, in respect of LIBOR Loans in effect at anyone time in respect of the Principal Amount, whether or not there are any outstanding Base Rate Loans at the time.
Section 2.09.Inapplicability of LIBOR Loans. Any portion of the Principal Amount that is not bearing interest as, or cannot pursuant to the terms of this Agreement bear interest as, a LIBOR Loan shall bear interest as a Base Rate Loan. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the entire Principal Amount shall, at the option of the Required Lenders, immediately and without notice to Borrower, bear interest as a Base Rate Loan. The foregoing provisions shall not be construed as a waiver by Lenders of their right to pursue any other remedies available to them under the Deed of Trust or any other Loan Document nor shall they be construed to limit in any way the application of the Default Rate as provided in the Deed of Trust.

Section 2.10.Late Payment Premium. Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent, for the account of Lenders, a late payment premium in the amount of 5% of any payments of regular principal, interest, fees or other amounts payable under the Loan Documents made more than five (5) Business Days after the due date thereof, which late payment premium shall be due with any such late payment. The acceptance of a late payment premium shall not constitute a waiver of any Default or Event of Default then existing or thereafter arising. Further, Administrative Agent’s failure to collect a late payment premium at any time shall not constitute a waiver of Administrative Agent’s or Lenders’ right thereafter, at any time and from time to time (including, without limitation, upon acceleration of the Notes or upon payment in full of the Loan), to collect such previously uncollected late payment premiums or to collect subsequently accruing late payment premiums.
Section 2.11.Voluntary Prepayments. |
(a) Borrower, with thirty (30) Business Days’ notice to Administrative Agent, may at any time and from time to time prepay the Principal Amount, in whole or in part, provided that Borrower gives facsimile notice of such prepayment which shall specify: (i) the date and amount of the prepayment; (ii) whether the prepayment is of LIBOR Loans, Base Rate Loans or a combination thereof, and, if a combination thereof, the amount allocable to each; and (iii) in the case of prepayment of LIBOR Loans, the expiration date of the applicable Interest Period. Prepayment of all or any portion of the Principal Amount may be made in accordance with this Section 2.11(a) provided that: (i) the principal amount prepaid is not less than $1,000,000; (ii) all accrued and unpaid interest to and including the date of such prepayment on the amount being prepaid is then paid; (iii) any amounts payable pursuant to Article III are then paid; (iv) the applicable Prepayment Fee is then paid on the amount of any prepayment in excess of $7,500,000 in any calendar year; and (v) all fees and expenses incurred by Administrative Agent or Lenders in connection with the prepayment are then paid. Amounts prepaid may not be reborrowed. Each notice delivered by Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.11 shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice delivered by Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by Borrower (by notice to Administrative Agent not less than three (3) Business Days prior to the noticed prepayment date) if such condition is not or will not be satisfied.
(b) If payment of all or any part of the Principal Amount is tendered by Borrower or otherwise recovered by Lenders, whether or not after the occurrence of an Event of Default and/or acceleration of the Loan, such tender or recovery shall be deemed to be a voluntary prepayment by Borrower and Borrower shall pay, in addition to the Principal Amount (or such aforementioned part thereof), the applicable Prepayment Fee thereon.
Section 2.12.Extension Option.Borrower shall have the option to extend the Maturity Date for two (2) thirteen month terms (each, an "Extension Period") upon satisfaction of the following:
(i) Borrower shall give notice of its exercise of the applicable extension option (the "Extension Notice") to Administrative Agent for receipt by Administrative Agent not less than sixty (60) and not more than one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the then applicable Maturity Date,

(iv) the ratio of the Principal Amount to the then current as-is market value of the Trust Property remaining subject to the Deed of Trust, as determined by an appraisal ordered and received by, and reasonably acceptable to, Administrative Agent in conjunction with the request for extension shall not exceed 55%,
(v) no material adverse change in the condition of the Trust Property or the financial condition of Borrower or Guarantor has occurred since the date of the Financial Statements of each last submitted to Administrative Agent prior to the date thereof,
(vi) Borrower shall be in compliance with the requirements of Section 9.02 hereof,
(vii) if, as of the then applicable Maturity Date, the LIBO Rate with an Interest Period of one month is then exceeding, and has exceeded, 3.50% for two consecutive weeks, Borrower shall have delivered to Administrative Agent an Interest Rate Protection Agreement meeting the criteria of Section 6.10 hereof which extends through the extended Maturity Date, and
(viii) all representations and warranties of Borrower or Guarantor contained herein and in the other Loan Documents remain true and correct in all material respects as of the scheduled Maturity Date.
ARTICLE III YIELD MAINTENANCE ETC. |
Section 3.01.Additional Costs and Other Effects of Regulatory Changes; Taxes. Borrower shall pay directly to a Lender such amounts as are necessary to compensate such Lender for Additional Costs resulting from any Regulatory Change which (i) subjects such Lender to any tax, duty or other charge with respect to the Loan or its Note, or changes the basis of taxation of any amounts payable to such Lender under the Loan or its Note (other than income, franchise or other taxes imposed on the overall net income or profits or taxable margin of such Lender or of its Applicable Lending Office by the jurisdiction in which such Lender’s principal office or such Applicable Lending Office is located), (ii) imposes, modifies or deems applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirements relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with or other liabilities of, such Lender, (iii) imposes on such Lender or, in the case of LIBOR Loans, on the London interbank market, any other condition affecting the Loan or its Note, or any of such extensions of credit or liabilities or (iv) imposes any capital adequacy requirements on such Lender by virtue of the Loan or the Notes. Such Lender will notify Borrower in writing (with a copy to Administrative Agent) of any event occurring after the Closing Date which would entitle it to compensation pursuant to this paragraph as promptly as practicable after it obtains knowledge thereof and determines to request such compensation, and will designate a different Applicable Lending Office for those portions of the Loan affected by such event if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in such Lender’s good faith opinion, be disadvantageous to it, provided that such Lender shall have no obligation to so designate an Applicable Lending Office located in the United States.
Without limiting the effect of the immediately preceding paragraph, in the event that, by reason of any Regulatory Change, (i) a Lender incurs Additional Costs based on or measured by the excess above a specified level of the amount of (1) a category of deposits or other liabilities of such Lender which includes deposits by reference to which the LIBO Rate is determined as provided in this Agreement and/or (2) a category of extensions of credit or other assets of such Lender which includes loans the interest on which is determined on the basis of rates referred to in the definition of "LIBO Rate" in Section 1.01, (ii) a Lender becomes subject to restrictions on the amount of such a category of liabilities or assets which it may hold or (iii) it shall be unlawful or impossible for a Lender to make or maintain a LIBOR Loan, then such Lender’s obligation to make or maintain a LIBOR Loan

(and Borrower’s right to request the same) shall be suspended and such Lender shall give notice thereof to Borrower (with a copy to Administrative Agent) and, upon the giving of such notice, interest payable on the affected Note shall be converted to the rate for Base Rate Loans, unless such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain its LIBOR Loan (or any portion thereof) to the end of the current Interest Period(s), at which time the interest rate on the affected Note shall convert to the rate for Base Rate Loans. If subsequent to any conversion to Base Rate Loans as provided above such Lender determines that such Regulatory Change has ceased to be in effect, such Lender will reasonably promptly thereafter notify Borrower (with a copy to Administrative Agent), and Borrower may convert the affected Base Rate Loan to a LIBOR Loan by submitting a Rate Request in respect thereof and otherwise complying with the provisions of this Agreement with respect thereto.
Determinations by each Lender of the existence or effect of any Regulatory Change on its costs of making or maintaining a LIBOR Loan, or on amounts receivable by it in respect thereof, and of the additional amounts required to compensate such Lender in respect of Additional Costs, shall be conclusive, so long as made on a reasonable basis.
A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender as specified in this Section 3.01 shall be delivered to Borrower (with a copy to Administrative Agent) and shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. Borrower shall pay any such Lender such amount or amounts within five Business Days after demand therefor.
Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 3.01 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender under this Section 3.01 for any Additional Costs incurred more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender notifies Borrower of such Additional Costs and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that if the Regulatory Change giving rise to such Additional Costs is retroactive, then such nine-month period shall be extended to include the period of such retroactive effect.
Section 3.02.Limitations on Availability of LIBOR Loans. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if, at the time of or prior to the determination of the LIBO Rate in respect of any Rate Request as provided in this Agreement, (i) Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and so long as made on a reasonable basis) that by reason of circumstances affecting the London interbank market generally, adequate and fair means do not or will not exist for determining the LIBO Rate applicable to an Interest Period or (ii) a Lender determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error, so long as made on a reasonable basis) that the LIBO Rate will not accurately reflect the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining a LIBOR Loan, then Administrative Agent, in the case of the circumstances described in clause (i) above, or such Lender, in the case of the circumstances described in clause (ii) above, shall give Borrower prompt written notice thereof (with a copy to Administrative Agent in the case of the notice from such Lender), and the Rate Request in question, in the case of the circumstances described in clause (i) above, or such Lender’s portion thereof, in the case of the circumstances described in clause (ii) above, shall bear interest, or continue to bear interest, as the case may be, as a Base Rate Loan. If at any time subsequent to Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s giving of such notice, Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, determines that because of a change in circumstances LIBOR Loans are again available to Borrower, Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, shall so notify Borrower (with a copy to Administrative Agent, in the case of the notice from such Lender) and Borrower may convert the Base Rate Loans or the affected Base Rate Loans, as the case may be, to LIBOR Loans by submitting a Rate Request in respect thereof and otherwise complying with the provisions of this Agreement with respect thereto.

Section 3.03.Certain Compensation. Borrower shall pay directly to a Lender, promptly upon request and notwithstanding contrary provisions contained in the Deed of Trust or other Loan Documents, such amounts as shall, in the judgment of such Lender (which shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and so long as made on a reasonable basis), compensate it for any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of (i) any failure by Borrower to make a borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of a LIBOR Loan after Borrower has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with this Agreement, (ii) any failure by Borrower to make any prepayment after Borrower has given notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement (unless revoked by Borrower in accordance with the terms of Section 2.11(a) hereof), (iii) the making of any payment or prepayment (under any circumstances whatsoever, whether voluntary or involuntary) of any LIBOR Loan on a date other than the last day of an applicable Interest Period, (iv) the conversion (for any reason whatsoever, whether voluntary or involuntary) of a LIBOR Loan to a Base Rate Loan on a date other than the last day of an applicable Interest Period, or (v) the early termination of any Interest Rate Protection Agreement (as more particularly provided in the Interest Rate Protection Agreement). In the cases of clauses (i) through (iv) above, such amounts shall include, without limitation, an amount equal to the present value (using as a discount rate the rate at which interest is computed pursuant to clause (y) below) of the excess, if any, of (x) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the amount so prepaid, converted, not borrowed, not continued, not converted or not prepaid, as the case may be, for the period from the date of occurrence to the last day of the applicable Interest Period at the applicable rate of interest provided for herein over (y) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) which would have accrued to such Lender on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the London interbank market. In the case of clause (v) above, such amounts shall include, without limitation, any loss, cost or expense arising from the reemployment of funds obtained by the affected Lender, from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained or from reversing any Interest Rate Protection Agreement.

Neither Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be responsible to Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by Borrower or any officer, partner or official of Borrower or any other Person contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or in any certificate or other document or instrument referred to or provided for in, or received by any of them under, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for the value, legality, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any other document or instrument referred to or provided for herein or therein, for the perfection or priority of any lien securing the obligations hereunder or thereunder or for any failure by Borrower or any Guarantor to perform any of its obligations hereunder or thereunder. Administrative Agent may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact and shall not be responsible, except as to money or securities received by it or its authorized agents, for the negligence or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care. Neither Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be liable or responsible to Lenders for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder or under any other Loan Document or in connection herewith or therewith, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.
Section 7.02.Reliance by Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any certification, notice or other communication (including any thereof by telephone, telex, telegram or cable) believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by or on behalf of the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected by Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent may deem and treat each Lender as the holder of its Note and interest in the Loan for all purposes hereof and shall not be required to deal with any Person who has acquired a Participation in the Loan from a Lender. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, in accordance with instructions signed by the Required Lenders, and such instructions of the Required Lenders and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on all Lenders and any other holder of all or any portion of the Loan or Participation therein.
Section 7.03.Defaults. Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of the occurrence of a Default or of an Event of Default unless Administrative Agent has actual knowledge thereof or has received notice from a Lender or Borrower specifying such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a "Notice of Default." In the event that Administrative Agent has such actual knowledge or receives such a notice of the occurrence of a material Default or Event of Default, Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to Lenders. Administrative Agent shall promptly send to each Lender a copy of any notice of a Default or Event of Default that Administrative Agent sends to Borrower or Guarantor. Administrative Agent, following consultation with Lenders, shall (subject to Section 7.07) take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default which is continuing, including with respect to the exercise of remedies or the realization on, or operation or disposition of, any or all of the Trust Property or any other collateral for the Loan, as shall be directed by the Required Lenders; provided, however, that, unless and until Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, Administrative Agent may take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem to be in the best interest of Lenders. In no event shall Administrative

EXHIBIT 10.1 |
Agent be required to take any such action which it determines would expose Administrative Agent to personal liability or would be contrary to the Loan Documents or to Law. Each of Lenders acknowledges and agrees that no individual Lender may separately enforce or exercise any of the provisions of any of the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, the Notes) other than through Administrative Agent.
Section 7.04.Rights of Administrative Agent as Lender. With respect to its Note and interest in the Loan, Administrative Agent in its capacity as a Lender hereunder shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not acting as Administrative Agent, and the terms "Lender" and "Lenders" shall include Administrative Agent in its capacity as a Lender. Administrative Agent and its affiliates may (without having to account therefor to any Lender) accept deposits from, lend money to (on a secured or unsecured basis), and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust or other business with, Borrower or Guarantor (and any affiliates of them) as if it were not acting as Administrative Agent.
Section 7.05.Sharing of Costs by Lenders: Indemnification of Administrative Agent. Each Lender shall pay its ratable share, based on the respective outstanding principal balances under its Note and the other Notes, of any expenses incurred (and not paid or reimbursed by Borrower after demand for payment is made by Administrative Agent) by or on behalf of Lenders in connection with any Default or Event of Default, including, without limitation, costs of enforcement of the Loan Documents and any advances to pay taxes or insurance premiums, to complete the Improvements or otherwise to preserve the lien of the Deed of Trust or to preserve or protect the Trust Property. In the event a Lender fails to pay its share of expenses as aforesaid, and all or a portion of such unpaid amount is paid by Administrative Agent and/or one or more of the other Lenders, then the defaulting Lender shall reimburse Administrative Agent and/or the other Lender(s) for the portion of such unpaid amount paid by it or them, as the case may be, together with interest thereon at the interest rate for Base Rate Loans from the date of payment by Administrative Agent and/or the other Lender(s). In addition, each Lender agrees to reimburse and indemnify Administrative Agent (to the extent it is not paid by on or behalf of Borrower, after demand for payment is made by Administrative Agent, under Section 8.12 or under the applicable provisions of any other Loan Document, but without limiting the obligation of Borrower under said Section 8.12 or such provisions), for such Lender’s ratable share, based upon the respective outstanding principal balances under its Note and the other Notes, of any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other documents contemplated by or referred to herein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (including, without limitation, the costs and expenses which Borrower is obligated to pay under Section 8.12 or under the applicable provisions of any other Loan Document) or the enforcement of any of the terms hereof or thereof or of any such other documents or instruments; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for (i) any of the foregoing to the extent they arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party to be indemnified or (ii) any loss of principal or interest with respect to Administrative Agent’s Note or interest in the Loan.
Section 7.06.Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance on Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own analysis of the collateral for the Loan and of the credit of Borrower and Guarantor, and its own decision to enter into this Agreement, and that it will, independently and without reliance upon Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own analysis and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document. Administrative Agent shall not be required to keep itself informed as to the performance or observance by Borrower of this Agreement or any other Loan

EXHIBIT 10.1 |
Document or any other document referred to or provided for herein or therein or to inspect the properties (including, without limitation, the Premises) or books of Borrower. Except for notices, reports and other documents and information expressly required to be furnished to Lenders by Administrative Agent hereunder, Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the affairs, financial condition or business of Borrower or Guarantor (or any affiliate of them) which may come into the possession of Administrative Agent or any of its affiliates.
Section 7.07.Failure of Administrative Agent to Act. Except for action expressly required of Administrative Agent hereunder, Administrative Agent shall in, all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to act hereunder unless it shall have received further assurances (which may include cash collateral) of the indemnification obligations of Lenders under Section 7.05 in respect of any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. If any indemnity furnished to Administrative Agent for any purpose shall, in the opinion of Administrative Agent, be insufficient or become impaired, Administrative Agent may call for an additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, the action indemnified against until such additional indemnity is furnished.
Section 7.08.Resignation or Removal of Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent may resign on at least thirty (30) days’ written notice to Lenders and Borrower or upon the occurrence of an Event of Default. Administrative Agent may be removed at any time with cause by the Required Lenders, provided that Borrower and the other Lenders shall be promptly notified thereof. Upon such resignation or removal of Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which successor Administrative Agent shall (provided there exists no Event of Default) be subject to Borrower’s approval, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders, and shall have accepted such appointment, within twenty (20) days after the resignation or the Required Lenders’ removal of the retiring Administrative Agent, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be one of Lenders, within ten (10) days. The Required Lenders or the retiring Administrative Agent, as the case may be, shall upon the appointment of a successor Administrative Agent promptly so notify Borrower and the other Lenders. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article VII shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Administrative Agent.
Section 7.09.Amendments Concerning Agency Function. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Administrative Agent shall not be bound by any waiver, amendment, supplement or modification of this Agreement or any other Loan Document which affects its duties, rights, and/or functions hereunder or thereunder unless it shall have given its prior written consent thereto.
Section 7.10.Liability of Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent and not as a Lender) shall not have any liabilities or responsibilities to Borrower on account of the failure of any Lender to perform its obligations hereunder or to any Lender on account of the failure of Borrower to perform its obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document.
Section 7.11.Transfer of Agency Function. Without the consent of Borrower or any Lender, Administrative Agent may at any time or from time to time transfer its functions as Administrative Agent
31 |
C056442/0303008/1557238.9
EXHIBIT 10.1 |
hereunder to any of its offices wherever located in the United States, provided that Administrative Agent shall promptly notify Borrower and Lenders thereof.
Section 7.12.Non-Receipt of Funds by Administrative Agent; Adjustments.
(a) Unless Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender or Borrower (either one as appropriate being the "Payor") prior to the date on which such Lender is to make payment hereunder to Administrative Agent of Loan proceeds or Borrower is to make payment to Administrative Agent, as the case may be (either such payment being a "Required Payment"), which notice shall be effective upon receipt, that the Payor will not make the Required Payment in full to Administrative Agent, Administrative Agent may assume that the Required Payment has been made in full to Administrative Agent on such date, and Administrative Agent in its sole discretion may, but shall not be obligated to, in reliance upon such assumption, make the amount thereof available to the intended recipient on such date. If and to the extent the Payor shall not have in fact so made the Required Payment in full to Administrative Agent, the recipient of such payment shall repay to Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount made available to it together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount was so made available by Administrative Agent until the date Administrative Agent recovers such amount, at the Federal Funds Rate.
(b) If, after Administrative Agent has paid each Lender’s share of any payment received or applied by Administrative Agent in respect of the Loan, that payment is rescinded or must otherwise be returned or paid over by Administrative Agent, whether pursuant to any bankruptcy or insolvency Law, sharing of payments clause of any loan agreement or otherwise, such Lender shall, at Administrative Agent’s request, promptly return its share of such payment or application to Administrative Agent, together with such Lender’s proportionate share of any interest or other amount required to be paid by Administrative Agent with respect to such payment or application. In addition, if a court of competent jurisdiction shall adjudge that any amount received and distributed by Administrative Agent is to be repaid, each Person to whom any such distribution shall have been made shall either repay to Administrative Agent its share of the amount so adjudged to be repaid or shall pay over the same in such manner and to such Persons as shall be determined by such court.
Section 7.13.Withholding Taxes; Prohibited Transactions. Each Lender represents to Administrative Agent that it is entitled to receive any payments to be made to it hereunder without the withholding of any tax and will furnish to Administrative Agent and Borrower such forms, certifications, statements and other documents as Administrative Agent and Borrower may reasonably request from time to time to evidence such Lender’s exemption from the withholding of any tax imposed by any jurisdiction or to enable Administrative Agent and Borrower to comply with any applicable Laws relating thereto. Without limiting the effect of the foregoing, if any Lender is not created or organized under the Laws of the United States or any state thereof, such Lender will furnish to Administrative Agent and Borrower Form W-8ECI or Form W-8BEN of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, or such other forms, certifications, statements or documents, duly executed and completed by such Lender, as evidence of such Lender’s complete exemption from the withholding of United States tax with respect thereto. Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make any payments hereunder to such Lender in respect of the Loan until such Lender shall have furnished to Administrative Agent the requested form, certification, statement or document. The proceeds used to fund the Loan Advance shall not include any "plan assets" (as defined the United States Department of Labor Regulation Section 2510.3-101) of any "employee benefit plan" (as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA) that is subject to Title I of ERISA.
Section 7.14.Sharing of Payments among Lenders. If a Lender shall obtain payment of any principal of its Note or of interest thereon through the exercise of any right of setoff, banker’s lien or counterclaim, or by any
32 |
C056442/0303008/1557238.9
EXHIBIT 10.1 |
other means (including direct payment), and such payment results in such Lender receiving a greater payment than it would have been entitled to had such payment been paid directly to Administrative Agent for disbursement to Lenders, then such Lender shall promptly purchase for cash from the other Lenders Participations in the Loan in such amounts, and make such other adjustments from time to time as shall be equitable, to the end that all Lenders shall share ratably the benefit of such payment. To such end Lenders shall make appropriate adjustments among themselves (by the resale of Participations sold or otherwise) if such payment is rescinded or must otherwise be restored.
Section 7.15.Possession of Documents. Each Lender shall maintain possession of its own Note. Administrative Agent shall hold all other Loan Documents and related documents in its possession and maintain separate records and accounts with respect to the Loan, reflecting the interests of Lenders in the Loan, and shall permit Lenders and their representatives access at all reasonable times to inspect such Loan Documents, related documents, records and accounts.

Section 8.04.Notices. Except as expressly provided otherwise, all notices, demands, consents, approvals and statements required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been sufficiently given or served for all purposes when presented personally, three (3) days after mailing by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, one (1) day after delivery to a nationally recognized overnight courier service providing evidence of the date of delivery, or upon transmission if sent by fax or email if followed by next day delivery by a nationally recognized overnight courier service providing evidence of the date of delivery, addressed to a party at its address on the signature page hereof or of the applicable Assignment and Assumption Agreement, or at such other address of which a party shall have notified the party giving such notice in writing in accordance with the foregoing requirements.
Section 8.05.Amendments and Waivers. No amendment or material waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, nor consent to any material departure by Borrower or Guarantor therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the party against whom such amendment, waiver or consent is sought to be enforced (it being understood, however, that the signatures of the Required Lenders and, solely for purposes of its acknowledgement thereof, Administrative Agent, shall be sufficient to bind Lenders to any such amendment, waiver or consent), and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided, however, that no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by all Lenders do any of the following: (i) reduce the principal of, or interest on, the Notes or any fees due hereunder or any other amount due hereunder or under any other Loan Document; (ii) postpone any date fixed for any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Notes or any fees due hereunder or under any other Loan Document; (iii) change the definition of Required Lenders; (iv) release any material portion of the Trust Property or other collateral for the Loan other than in accordance with the Loan Documents; (v) amend this Section or any other provision requiring the consent of all Lenders; (vi) release,

in whole or in part, Guarantor other than in accordance with the Loan Documents; or (vii) increase the Loan Amount. Without limiting the foregoing, acceptance by Administrative Agent or Lenders of any sum required to be paid pursuant hereto or any other Loan Document, after its due date, or in an amount less than the sum then due, shall not constitute a waiver by Administrative Agent or Lenders of their right to require prompt payment when due of all other such sums or to declare a default or to exercise such other rights provided herein or in the other Loan Documents for such late or reduced payment.
All communications from Administrative Agent to Lenders requesting Lenders’ determination, consent, approval or disapproval (i) shall be given in the form of a written notice to each Lender, (ii) shall be accompanied by or include a description or copy of the matter or thing as to which such determination, approval, consent or disapproval is requested and (iii) shall include Administrative Agent’s recommended course of action or determination in respect thereof. Each Lender shall reply promptly, but in any event within ten (10) Business Days (or five (5) Business Days with respect to any decision to accelerate or stop acceleration of the Loan) after receipt of the request therefor by Administrative Agent (the "Lender Reply Period"). Unless a Lender shall give written notice to Administrative Agent that it objects to the recommendation or determination of Administrative Agent (together with a written explanation of the reasons behind such objection) within the Lender Reply Period, such Lender shall be deemed to have approved or consented to such recommendation or determination.
Section 8.06.Assignment; Participation. Any Lender may at any time grant to one or more banks or other institutions not affiliated with Borrower or Guarantor (each a "Participant") participating interests in its Pro Rata Share of the Loan (the "Participations"). In the event of any such grant by a Lender of a Participation to a Participant, such Lender shall remain responsible for the performance of its obligations hereunder, and Borrower and Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations hereunder. Any agreement pursuant to which any Lender may grant a Participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right and responsibility to enforce the obligations of Borrower hereunder and under any other Loan Document, including, without limitation, the right to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided, however, that such participation agreement may provide that such Lender will not agree to any modification, amendment or waiver described in clauses (i) through (vii) of Section 8.05 without the consent of the Participant.
Upon request by Borrower, each Lender agrees to provide Borrower with notice of all Participations sold by such Lender. Borrower agrees to provide all assistance reasonably requested by a Lender to enable such Lender to sell Participations as aforesaid, or make assignments of its interest in the Loan as hereinafter provided in this Section.
A Lender may at any time assign to any bank or other institution not affiliated with Borrower or Guarantor with the consent of Administrative Agent and, provided there exists no Event of Default, of Borrower, which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (such assignee, a "Consented Assignee"), or to one or more banks or other institutions which are majority owned subsidiaries of a Lender or of the parent of a Lender (each Consented Assignee or subsidiary bank or institution, an "Assignee") all or a proportionate part of all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and its Note, and such Assignee shall assume rights and obligations, pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption Agreement executed by such Assignee and the assigning Lender, provided that, after giving effect to such assignment, in each case, the Assignee’s aggregate portion of the Loan and, in the case of a partial assignment of a Lender’s interest, the assigning Lender’s aggregate portion of the Loan will each be equal to or greater than $5,000,000. Upon (i) execution and delivery of such instrument, (ii) payment by such Assignee to the assigning Lender of an amount equal to the purchase price agreed between such Lender and such Assignee and (iii) payment by such Assignee to Administrative Agent of a fee, for Administrative

Agent’s own account, in the amount of $3,500, such Assignee shall be a party to this Agreement and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Lender as set forth in such Assignment and Assumption Agreement, and the assigning Lender shall be released from its obligations hereunder to a corresponding extent, and no further consent or action by any party shall be required. Upon the consummation of any assignment pursuant to this paragraph, substitute notes, in the form of EXHIBIT C, shall be issued to the assigning Lender (in the case of a partial assignment) and Assignee by Borrower, in exchange for the return of the assigning Lender’s original Note. All such substitute notes shall constitute "Notes" and the obligations evidenced by such substitute notes shall constitute obligations secured by the Deed of Trust. In connection with Borrower’s execution of substitute notes as aforesaid, Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent such evidence of the due authorization, execution and delivery of the substitute notes and any related documents as Administrative Agent may reasonably request. If the Assignee is not incorporated under the Laws of the United States or a state thereof, it shall, prior to the first date on which interest or fees are payable hereunder for its account, deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent certification as to exemption from deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes in accordance with Section 7.13.
Borrower, Administrative Agent and Lenders shall execute such modifications to the Loan Documents as shall, in the reasonable judgment of Administrative Agent, be necessary or desirable in connection with assignments in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section.
Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and its Note to secure obligations of such Lender, including any such pledge or assignment to a Federal Reserve bank, and this Section 8.06 shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations under this Agreement or substitute any such assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
Borrower recognizes that in connection with a Lender’s selling of Participations or making of assignments, any or all documentation, financial statements, appraisals and other data, or copies thereof, relevant to Borrower, Guarantor or the Loan may be exhibited to and retained by any such Participant or Assignee or prospective Participant or Assignee. A Lender’s delivery of any documentation, financial statements, appraisals and other data to any such Participant or Assignee or prospective Participant or Assignee, whether in connection with the ongoing administration of the Loan or the sale or prospective sale of an interest in the Loan, shall be done on a confidential basis in accordance with Section 8.17(vi) hereof.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8.06, PB Realty may enter into an assignment or participation with PB Capital or an affiliate controlled by or under common control with PB Capital (none of which assignments or participations shall require the consent of Borrower).
Section 8.07.Setoff. In addition to (and without limitation of) any right of setoff, bankers’ lien or counterclaim Administrative Agent or any Lender may otherwise have, Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be entitled, but only with the prior consent of the Required Lenders, to offset balances (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) held by it for the account of Borrower at any of Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s offices against any amount payable by Borrower to Administrative Agent or such Lender hereunder or under any other Loan Document which is not paid when due (regardless of whether such balances are then due to Borrower), in which case it shall promptly notify Borrower and (in the case of a Lender) Administrative Agent thereof; provided, however, that Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity thereof.

Section 8.08.Successors and Assigns. Except as herein provided, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Borrower, Administrative Agent and Lenders and their respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower may not assign, transfer or set over to another, in whole or in part, all or any part of its benefits, rights, duties and obligations hereunder, including, but not limited to, performance of and compliance with conditions hereof and the right to receive the proceeds of current or future advances.
Section 8.09.Severability. The provisions hereof are intended to be severable. Any provisions hereof, or the application thereof to any Person or circumstance, which, for any reason, in whole or in part, is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof (or the remaining portions of such provision) or the application thereof to any other Person or circumstance, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision (or portion thereof) or the application thereof to any Person or circumstance in any other jurisdiction.
Section 8.10.Non-Waiver: Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s part in exercising any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents or provided by law (hereinafter in this Section, each a "Remedy") shall operate as a waiver of any such Remedy or shall be deemed to constitute Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s acquiescence in any default by Borrower or Guarantor under any of said documents. A waiver by Administrative Agent or any Lender of any Remedy on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any other or future exercise thereof or of any other Remedy. The Remedies are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any other Remedies.
Section 8.11.Certain Waivers. Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives to the extent permitted by law (i) promptness and diligence, (ii) notice of any actions taken by Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument relating hereto or thereto except to the extent otherwise provided herein or such other Loan Documents, (iii) except to the extent otherwise provided herein or in the other Loan Documents, all other notices, demands and protests, and all other formalities of every kind in connection with the enforcement of Borrower’s obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the omission of or delay in which, but for the provisions of this Section, might constitute grounds for relieving Borrower of any of its obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, (iv) any requirement that Administrative Agent or any Lender protect, secure, perfect or insure any lien on any collateral for the Loan or exhaust any right or take any action against Borrower, Guarantor or any other Person or against any collateral for the Loan, (v) any right or claim of right to cause a marshalling of Borrower’s assets and (vi) all rights of subrogation or contribution, whether arising by contract or operation of law or otherwise by reason of payment by Borrower pursuant hereto or to any other Loan Document. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, BORROWER FURTHER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT BY OR ON BEHALF OF ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR LENDERS WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTES OR OTHERWISE IN RESPECT OF THE LOAN, ANY AND EVERY RIGHT BORROWER MAY HAVE TO (W) INJUNCTIVE RELIEF, (X) A TRIAL BY JURY, (Y) INTERPOSE ANY COUNTERCLAIM THEREIN, OTHER THAN A COMPULSORY COUNTERCLAIM, AND (Z) HAVE THE SAME CONSOLIDATED WITH ANY OTHER OR SEPARATE SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING. NOTHING CONTAINED IN THE IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING SENTENCE SHALL PREVENT OR PROHIBIT BORROWER FROM INSTITUTING OR MAINTAINING A SEPARATE ACTION AGAINST ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR LENDERS WITH RESPECT TO ANY ASSERTED CLAIM.

Section 8.12.Expenses; Indemnification. Borrower covenants and agrees to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs, expenses and charges (including, without limitation, all reasonable out-of-pocket fees and charges of appraisers and Lenders’ Counsel) incurred by Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with (i) the preparation for and consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or for the performance hereof and of the other Loan Documents, and for any services which may be required in addition to those normally and reasonably contemplated hereby and (ii) the enforcement hereof or of any or all of the other Loan Documents; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be responsible for (1) the fees and expenses of legal counsel for Lenders other than PB Realty incurred in connection with said counsel’s review of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents prior to execution and (2) costs, expenses and charges incurred by Administrative Agent and Lenders in connection with the administration or syndication of the Loan (other than the reasonable fees and expenses of Lenders’ Counsel) (it being understood that Borrower’s responsibility for taxes shall be determined solely under Sections 3.01 and 8.16 and that the costs, expenses and charges covered by this Section 8.12 does not include any taxes). In connection with the foregoing, Lenders agree, to the extent practicable, to appoint a single counsel and local counsel, selected by Administrative Agent, to act on behalf of all Lenders in connection with the enforcement of the Loan Documents. If Borrower fails to pay within ten (10) Business Days after delivery of invoices for any costs, charges or expense required to be paid by it as aforesaid, and Administrative Agent or any Lender pays such costs, charges or expenses, Borrower shall reimburse Administrative Agent or such Lender, as appropriate, on demand for the amounts so paid, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate. Borrower further agrees to indemnify Administrative Agent and each Lender and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents from, and hold each of them harmless against, (x) any and all losses arising out of or by reason of any investigation or litigation or other proceedings (including any threatened investigation or litigation or other proceedings) relating to any actual or proposed use by Borrower of the proceeds of the Loan, including, without limitation, the fees and disbursements of counsel incurred in connection with any such investigation, litigation or other proceedings and (y) any and all claims, actions, suits, proceedings, costs, expenses, losses, damages and liabilities of any kind, including in tort, penalties and interest, arising out or by reason of any matter relating, directly or indirectly, to the Deed of Trust or the ownership, condition, development, construction, sale, rental or financing of the Premises or Improvements or any part thereof (but excluding any such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses incurred solely by reason of any default by Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents or the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party to be indemnified).

the signature page hereof, and service so made shall be complete five (5) days after the same shall have been so mailed.
Section 8.15.Integration. The Loan Documents constitute the entire agreement among Administrative Agent, Borrower and Lenders relating to the transactions contemplated thereby (except with respect to agreements among Lenders or with Administrative Agent relating solely to compensation, consideration and the syndication of the Loan) and supersede any prior oral or written statements or agreements with respect to such transactions.
Section 8.16.Gross-Up for Taxes. All payments made by Borrower under this Agreement and the Notes shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority, excluding stamp taxes, income taxes and franchise or other taxes (imposed in lieu of income taxes) imposed on a Lender as a result of a present or former connection between such Lender and the jurisdiction of the Governmental Authority imposing such tax or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (other than any such connection arising solely from such Lender’s having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received a payment under, or enforced, this Agreement or its Note). If any such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings ("Non-Excluded Taxes") are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to such Lender hereunder or under its Note, the amounts so payable to such Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to such Lender (after payment of all Non-Excluded Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable with respect to the Loan at the rates or in the amounts specified in this Agreement and its Note; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be required to increase any such amounts payable to such Lender if such Lender is not organized under the Laws of the United States or a state thereof and such Lender fails to comply with the requirements of Section 7.13. Whenever any Non-Excluded Taxes are payable by Borrower, as promptly as reasonably possible thereafter Borrower shall send to Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender a certified copy of an original official receipt received by Borrower showing payment thereof. If Borrower fails to pay any Non-Excluded Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to Administrative Agent the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, Borrower shall indemnify such Lender for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by such Lender as a result of any such failure. The agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Notes and all other amounts payable hereunder.
Section 8.17.Confidentiality. Administrative Agent and each Lender agrees to take normal and reasonable precautions to maintain the confidentiality of any information designated in writing as confidential and provided to it by Borrower or Guarantor, except that such information may be disclosed (i) to any Affiliate, employee, officer, director, agent, consultant or contractor of Administrative Agent or any such Lender, including without limitation accountants, legal counsel and other advisors, (ii) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (iii) to the extent requested by any regulatory agency or authority, (iv) to the extent that such information becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 8.17, or which becomes available to Administrative Agent or any Lender on a non-confidential basis from a source other than Borrower or Guarantor, (v) in connection with the exercise of any remedy hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of rights hereunder, (vi) subject to provisions substantially similar to this Section 8.17, to any actual or prospective assignee or Participant, or (vii) with the consent of Borrower. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of any information as provided for in this Section 8.17 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such information as such Person would accord its own confidential information.

ARTICLE IX PARTICULAR PROVISIONS |
The foregoing Articles of this Agreement are subject to the following further provisions:
Section 9.01.Special Purpose Entity. Borrower represents that it is a Single-Purpose Entity and covenants and agrees that it shall maintain such status and shall not: (i) engage in any business other than to (A) acquire, own, develop, lease, finance, manage, sell and operate the Trust Property and (B) engage in any and all other lawful activities as may be necessary, incidental or convenient to the foregoing or (ii) incur indebtedness other than Permitted Debt. Borrower shall have in its organizational documents, at all times so long as any obligation (other than Unasserted Obligations) remains outstanding hereunder, the separateness and other covenants and restrictions of a single purpose entity reflected in the operating agreement of Borrower delivered to Administrative Agent on or prior to the Closing Date.
Section 9.02.Financial Covenant. Borrower shall at all times maintain a DSCR of not less than the Minimum DSCR. The DSCR shall be calculated for each calendar quarter on each Calculation Date.
Section 9.03.Contests. Borrower may in good faith and at its own expense contest the validity of any law affecting the Premises, by appropriate legal proceedings which shall prevent the collection thereof, realization thereon or result in the imposition of any fines or penalties which would result in liens that are not fully insured against, as the case may be, and provided that during such contest Borrower shall, at Administrative Agent’s option, provide security satisfactory to Administrative Agent assuring the discharge of Borrower’s obligation with respect to any of the foregoing.
Section 9.04.Usury Savings. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of Borrower under this Agreement and the Notes shall be subject to the limitation that payments of interest to any Lender shall not be required to the extent that receipt thereof by such Lender would be contrary to provisions of law applicable to such Lender limiting the maximum rate of interest that may be charged or collected by such Lender. In such event, the payments of interest to such Lender shall be at the highest rate that is not contrary to provisions of law applicable to such Lender.
Section 9.05.Minimum Rent. Lenders and Administrative Agent have agreed to close the Loan notwithstanding the fact that the fixed rent under the MeadWestvaco Lease has not been definitively established, and notwithstanding that an estoppel certificate from the tenant under the MeadWestvaco Lease does not set forth a minimum fixed rent. Borrower shall notify Administrative Agent in writing (the "Rent Notification") within five (5) Business Days after the establishment of the fixed rent (which, pursuant to the MeadWestvaco Lease, must occur not later than May 1, 2010). If the fixed rent is below the amount set forth in the estoppel certificate delivered by MeadWestvaco Corporation (a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit D), then Administrative Agent may elect (such election to be exercised by a notice to Borrower given not later than thirty (30) days after receipt of the Rent Notification by Administrative Agent) to have the Trust Property reappraised based upon the final rent determination. If the appraisal shows a value of the Trust Property (the "Redetermined Value") that is less than the value shown in the appraisal used by Administrative Agent in connection with the closing of the Loan (the "Original Value"), Lenders shall have the right to require Borrower to prepay (without payment of the Prepayment Fee or any prepayment premium), within sixty (60) days after notice to Borrower, a portion of the Principal Amount equal to the difference between the Original Value and the Redetermined Value. The failure to
39 |

EXHIBIT 10.1 |
make such prepayment within such time period shall constitute an Event of Default under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual agreements contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:
SECTION 1Assignment. Assignor hereby assigns and sells to Assignee all of the rights of Assignor under the Loan Agreement in and to the Assigned Loan and Commitment, and Assignee hereby accepts such assignment from Assignor and assumes all of the obligations of Assignor under the Loan Agreement with respect to the Assigned Loan and Commitment, including, without limitation, Assignor’s obligations with respect to the undisbursed portion, if any, thereof.
