The Loans shall be funded in a single advance in the aggregate amount of up to $86,000,000.00 and repaid in accordance with this Agreement. The precondition to effectiveness of this Agreement shall be Borrower’s satisfaction of the conditions described in Schedule 2.1 . Borrower hereby confirms that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Loans have been fully advanced in the amount of $86,000,000.00 prior to the date hereof and that no actual advance of the Loans to Borrower shall be made on the date hereof or be required during the term of the Loans.
(2) Lending Offices. The Loans of each Lender shall be made and maintained at such Lender’s Applicable Lending Office for Loans of such Type.
(3) Several Obligations. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan to be made by it on the date specified therefor shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation to make its Loan, but neither any Lender nor Administrative Agent shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make a Loan to be made by such other Lender.
(4) Notes.
(a) Loan Notes. The Loans made by each Lender shall be evidenced by a single promissory note of Borrower substantially in the form of Exhibit C, payable to such Lender in a principal amount equal to the amount of its Commitment as originally in effect and otherwise duly completed.
(b) Endorsements on Notes. The date, amount, Type, interest rate and duration of Interest Period (if applicable) of each Loan made by each Lender to Borrower, and each payment made on account of the principal thereof, shall be recorded by such Lender on its books and, prior to any transfer of the Note held by it, endorsed by such Lender on the schedule attached to such Note or any continuation thereof; provided that the failure of such Lender to make any such recordation or endorsement shall not affect the obli gations of Borrower to make a payment when due of any amount owing hereunder or under such Note in respect of such Loans.
(c) Substitution, Exchange and Subdivision of Notes. No Lender shall be entitled to have its Notes substituted or exchanged for any reason, or subdivided for promissory notes of lesser denominations, except in connection with a permitted assignment of all or any portion of such Lender’s Commitment, Loans and Note pursuant to Sections 12.10 and 12.24 (and, if requested by any Lender, Borrower agrees to so substitute or exchange any Notes and enter into note splitter agreements in connection therewith).

In the event of the loss, theft or destruction of any Note, upon Borrower’s receipt of a reasonably satisfactory indemnification agreement executed in favor of Borrower by the holder of such Note, or in the event of the mutilation of any Note, upon the surrender of such mutilated Note by the holder thereof to Borrower, Borrower shall execute and deliver to such holder a new replacement Note in lieu of the lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note.

In connection with any such Conversion, a Lender may (at its sole and absolute discretion) transfer a Loan from one Applicable Lending Office to another.
(2) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, at any time that a Hedge Agreement is in effect, Lead Borrower shall have the right to choose only an Interest Period with respect to the principal amount equal to the notional amount under such Hedge Agreement which is the same as the Interest Rate Hedge Period.

(1) Borrower hereby promises to pay to Administrative Agent for account of each Lender interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Loan (which may be Base Rate Loans and/or LIBOR-based Loans) made by such Lender for the period from and including the date of such Loan to but excluding the date such Loan shall be paid in full, at the following rates per annum:
(a) during such periods as such Loan is a Base Rate Loan, the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin; and

(2) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable (i) monthly in arrears on each Payment Date and (ii) in the case of any Loan, upon the payment or prepayment thereof or the Conversion of such Loan to a Loan of another Type (but only on the principal amount so paid, prepaid or Converted), except that interest payable at the Default Rate shall be payable from time to time on demand.

Notices for Conversions and Continuations shall be in the form of Exhibit F. Each such notice specifying the duration of an Interest Period shall specify the portion of the Loans to which such Interest Period is to relate.

If Lead Borrower fails to select (i) the Type of Loan or (ii) the duration of any Interest Period for any LIBOR-based Loan within the time period (i.e., three (3) Business Days prior to the first day of the next applicable Interest Period) and otherwise as provided in this Section 2.8(5), such Loan (if outstan ding as a LIBOR Loan) will be automatically Continued as an LIBOR-based Loan with an Interest Period of one (1) month on the last day of the current Interest Period for such Loan (based on a LIBOR-based Rate determined two (2) Business Days prior to the first day of the next Interest Period) or, if outstanding as an Base Rate Loan, will remain as a Base Rate Loan.
(6) Non-Receipt of Funds by Administrative Agent. Unless Administrative Agent shall have been notified by a Lender or Lead Borrower (in either case, and along with Borrower, the “Payor”) prior to the date on which the Payor is to make payment to Administrative Agent of (in the case of a Lender) the proceeds of a Loan to be made by such Lender hereunder or (in the case of Borrower) a payment to Administrative Agent for account of any Lender hereunder (in either case, such payment b eing herein called the “Required Payment”), which notice shall be effective upon receipt, that the Payor does not intend to make the Required Payment to Administrative Agent, Administrative Agent may assume that the Required Payment has been made and may, in reliance upon such assumption (but shall not be required to), make the amount thereof available to the intended recipient(s) on such date; and, if the Payor has not in fact made the Required Payment to Administrative Agent, the recipient(s) of such payment shall, on demand, repay to Administrative Agent the amount so made available together with interest thereon in respect of each day during the period commencing on the date (the “Advance Date”) such amount was so made available by Administrative Agent until the date Administrative Agent recovers such amount at a rate per annum equal to (a) the Federal Funds Rate for such day in the case of payments returned to Administrative Agent by any of the Lenders or (b) the applicable interest rate due hereunder with respect to payments returned by Borrower to Administrative Agent and, if such recipient(s) shall fail promptly to make such payment, Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount, on demand, from the Payor, together with interest as aforesaid; provided that if neither the recipient(s) nor the Payor shall return the Required Payment to Administrative Agent within three (3) Business Days of the Advance Date, then, retroactively to the Advance Date, the Payor and the recipient(s) shall each be obligated to pay interest on the Required Payment as follows:
(a) if the Required Payment shall represent a payment to be made by Borrower to the Lenders, Borrower and the recipient(s) shall each be obligated retroactively to the Advance Date to pay interest in respect of the Required Payment at the Default Rate (without duplication of the obligation of Borrower under Section 2.3 60;to pay interest on the Required Payment at the Default Rate), it being understood that the return by the recipient(s) of the Required Payment to Administrative Agent shall not limit such obligation of Borrower under Section 2.3 to pay interest at the Default Rate in respect of the Required Payment, and
(b) if the Required Payment shall represent proceeds of a Loan to be made by the Lenders to Borrower, the Payor and Borrower shall each be obligated retroactively to the Advance Date to pay interest in respect of the Required Payment pursuant to whichever of the rates specified in Section 2.3 is applicable to the Typ e of such Loan, it being understood that the return by Borrower of the Required Payment to Administrative Agent shall not limit any claim Borrower may have against the Payor in respect of such Required Payment.
(7) Sharing of Payments, Etc.
(a) Right of Set-off. Borrower agrees that, in addition to (and without limitation of) any right of set-off, banker’s lien or counterclaim a Lender may otherwise have, (subject, as among the Lenders, to Section 12.26), each Lender shall be entitled, at its option (to the fullest extent permitted by law), to set off and apply any deposit (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), or other indebtedness, held by it for the credit or account of Borrower at any of its offices, in Dollars or in any other currency, against any principal of or interest on any of such Lender’s Loans or any other amount payable to such Lender hereunder, that is not paid when due (regardless of whether such deposit or other indebtedness is then due to Borrower), in which case it shall promptly notify Borrower and Administrative Agent thereof, provided that such Lender’s failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity thereof.
(b) Sharing. If any Lender shall obtain from Borrower payment of any principal of or interest on any Loan owing to it or payment of any other amount under this Agreement or any other Loan Document through the exercise (subject, as among the Lenders, to Section 12.26) of any right of set-off, banker’s lien or counterclaim or similar right or otherwise (other than from Administrative Agent as provided herein), and, as a result of such payment, such Lender shall have received a greater percentage of the principal of or interest on the Loans or such other amounts then due hereunder or thereunder by Borrower to such Lender than the percentage received by any other Lender, it shall promptly purchase from such other Lenders participations in (or, if and to the extent specified by such Lender, direct interests in) the Loans or such other amounts, respectively, owing to such other Lenders (or in interest due thereon, as the case may be) in such amounts, and make such other adjustments from time to time as shall be equitable, to the end that all the Lenders shall share the benefit of such excess payment (net of any expenses that may be incurred by such Lender in obtaining or preserving such excess payment) p ro rata in accordance with the unpaid principal of and/or interest on the Loans or such other amounts, respectively, owing to each of the Lenders. To such end all the 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.
(c) Consent by Borrower. Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing such a participation (or direct interest) may exercise (subject, as among the Lenders, to Section 12.26) all rights of set-off, b anker’s lien, counterclaim or similar rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct holder of Loans or other amounts (as the case may be) owing to such Lender in the amount of such participation.
(d) Rights of Lenders; Bankruptcy. Nothing contained herein shall require any Lender to exercise any such right or shall affect the right of any Lender to exercise, and retain the benefits of exercising, any such right with respect to any other indebtedness or obligation of Borrower. If, under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, any Lender receives a secured claim in lieu of a set-off to which this Section 2.8(7) applies, such Lender shall, to the extent practicable, exercise its rights in respect of such secured claim in a manner consistent with the rights of the Lenders entitled under this Section 2.8(7) to share in the benefits of any recovery on such secured claim.

(1) Additional Costs.
(a) Costs of Making or Maintaining LIBOR-based Loans. Borrower shall pay directly to each Lender from time to time such amounts as such Lender may determine to be necessary to compensate such Lender for any costs that such Lender determines are attributable to its making or maintaining of any LIBOR-based Loans or its obligation to make any LIBOR-based Loans hereunder, or any reduction in any amount receivable by such Lender hereunder in respect of any of such Loans or such obligation (such increases in costs and reductions in amounts receivable being herein called “Additional Costs”), resulting from any Regulatory Change that:
| (i) | shall subject any Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office for any of such Loans) to any tax, duty or other charge in respect of such Loans or its Note or changes the basis of taxation of any amounts payable to such Lender under this Agreement or its Note in respect of any of such Loans (excluding changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of such Lender or of such Applicable Lending Office by the jurisdiction in which such Lender has its principal office or such Applicable Lending Office); or |
| (ii) | imposes or modifies any reserve, special deposit or similar requirements (other than the Reserve Requirement used in the determination of the Adjusted LIBOR Rate for any Interest Period for such Loan) relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with or other liabilities of, such Lender (including, without limitation, any of such Loans or any deposits referred to in the definition of “LIBOR Rate”), or any commitment of such Lender (including, without limitation, the Commitment of such Lender hereunder); or |
| (iii) | imposes any other condition affecting this Agreement or its Note (or any of such extensions of credit or liabilities) or its Commitment. |
If any Lender requests compensation from Lead Borrower under this paragraph (a), Borrower may, by notice to such Lender (with a copy to Administrative Agent), suspend the obligation of such Lender thereafter to make or Continue LIBOR-based Loans, or to Convert Loans into LIBOR-based Loans, until the Regulatory Change giving rise to such request ceases to be in effect (in which case the provisions of Section 2.9(4) shall be applicable), provided that such suspension shall not affect the right of such Lender to receive the compensation so requested.
(b) Costs Attributable to Regulatory Change or Risk-Based Capital Guidelines. Without limiting the effect of the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.9(1) (but without duplication), Borrow er shall pay directly to each Lender from time to time on request such amounts as such Lender may determine to be necessary to compensate such Lender (or, without duplication, the bank holding company of which such Lender is a subsidiary) for any costs that it determines are attributable to the maintenance by such Lender (or any Applicable Lending Office or such bank holding company), pursuant to any law or regulation or any interpretation, directive or request (whether or not having the force of law and whether or not failure to comply therewith would be unlawful) of any court or governmental or monetary authority (i) following any Regulatory Change or (ii) implementing any risk-based capital guideline or other requirement (whether or not having the force of law and whether or not the failure to comply therewith would be unlawful) hereafter issued by any government or governmental or supervisory authority implementing at the national level the Basel II Accord, of capital in respect of its Commitme nt or Loans (such compensation to include, without limitation, an amount equal to any reduction of the rate of return on assets or equity of such Lender (or any Applicable Lending Office or such bank holding company) to a level below that which such Lender (or any Applicable Lending Office or such bank holding company) could have achieved but for such law, regulation, interpretation, directive or request.
(c) Notification and Certification. Each Lender shall notify Lead Borrower of any event occurring after the date hereof entitling such Lender to compensation under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 2.9(1) as promptly as practicable, but in any event within sixty (60) days, after such Lender obtains actual knowledge thereof; provided that (i) if any Lender fails to give such notice within sixty (60) days after it obtains actual knowledge of such an event, such Lender shall, with respect to compensation payable pursuant to this Section 2.9(1) in respect of any costs resulting from such event, only be entitled to payment under this Section 2.9(1) for costs incurred from and after the date forty-five (45) days prior to the date that such Lender does give such notice and (ii) each Lender will designate a different Applicable Lending Office for the Loans of such Lender affected by such event if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in the sole opinion of such Lender, be disadvantageous to such Lender, except that such Lender shall have no obligation to designate an Applicable Lending Office located in the United States of America. Each Lender will furnish to Lead Borrower a certificate setting forth the basis and amou nt of each request by such Lender for compensation under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 2.9(1). Determinations and allocations by any Lender for purposes of this Section 2.9(1) of the effect of any Regulatory Change p ursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section 2.9(1), or of the effect of capital maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 2.9(1), on its costs or rate of return of maintaining Loans or its obligation to make Loans, or on amounts re ceivable by it in respect of Loans, and of the amounts required to compensate such Lender under this Section 2.9(1), shall be conclusive, provided that such determinations and allocations are made on a reasonable basis.
(2) Limitation on Types of Loans. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if, on or prior to the determination of the LIBOR Rate for any Interest Period for any LIBOR-based Loan:
(a) Administrative Agent determines, which determination shall be conclusive, that quotations of interest rates for the relevant deposits referred to in the definition of LIBOR Rate are not being provided in the relevant amounts or for the relevant maturities for purposes of determining rates of interest for LIBOR-based Loans as provided herein; or
(b) Any Lender determines, which determination shall be conclusive, and notifies Administrative Agent that the relevant rates of interest referred to in the definition of LIBOR Rate upon the basis of which the rate of interest for LIBOR-based Loans for such Interest Period is to be determined are not likely adequately to cover the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining LIBOR-based Loans for such Interest Period;
then Administrative Agent shall give Lead Borrower and each Lender prompt notice thereof and, so long as such condition remains in effect, the Lenders shall be under no obligation to make additional LIBOR-based Loans, to Continue LIBOR-based Loans or to Convert Loans of any other Type into LIBOR-based Loans, and Borrower shall, on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for the outstanding LIBOR-based Loans, either prepay such Loans or such Loans shall be automatically Converted into Base Rate Loans.
(3) Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event that it becomes unlawful for any Lender or its Applicable Lending Office to honor its obligation to make or maintain LIBOR-based Loans hereunder (and, in the sole opinion of such Lender, the designation of a different Applicable Lending Office would either not avoid such unlawfulness or would be disadvantageous to such Lender), then such Lender shall promptly notify Lead Borrower thereof (with a copy to Administrative Agent) and such Lender’s obligation to make or Continue, or to Convert Loans of any other Type into, LIBOR-based Loans shall be suspended until such time as such Lender may again make and maintain LIBOR-based Loans (in which case the provisions of Section 2.9(4) shall be applicable).
(4) Treatment of Affected Loans. If the obligation of any Lender to make LIBOR-based Loans or to Continue, or to Convert Base Rate Loans into, LIBOR-based Loans shall be suspended pursuant to Section 2.9(1) or 2.9(3), such Lender’s Loans shall be automatically Converted into Base Rate Loans on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for Loans (or, in the case of a Conversion resulting from a circumstance described in Section 2.9(3), on such earlier date as such Lender may specify to Lead Borrower with a copy to Administrative Agent) and, unless and until such Lender gives notice as provided below that the circumstances specified in Section 2.9(1) or 2.9(3) that gave rise to such Conversion no longer exist:
(a) to the extent that such Lender’s Loans have been so Converted, all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise be applied to such Lender’s Loans shall be applied instead to its Base Rate Loans; and
(b) all Loans that would otherwise be made or Continued by such Lender as LIBOR-based Loans shall be made or Continued instead as Base Rate Loans, and all Loans of such Lender that would otherwise be Converted into LIBOR-based Loans shall remain as Base Rate Loans.
If such Lender gives notice to Lead Borrower with a copy to Administrative Agent that the circumstances specified in Section 2.9(1) or 2.9(3) that gave rise to the Conversion of such Lender’s Loans pursuant to this Section 2.9(4) no longer exist (which such Lender agrees to do promptly upon such circumstances ceasing to exist) at a time when LIBOR-based Loans made by other Lenders are outstanding, such Lender’s Base Rate Loans shall be automatically Converted, on the first day(s) of the next succeeding Interest Period(s) for such outstanding LIBOR-based Loans, to the extent necessary so that, after giving effect thereto, all Base Rate Loans and LIBOR-based Loans are allocated among the Lenders ratably (as to principal amounts, Types and Interest Periods) in accordance with their respective Commitments.
(5) Compensation. Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent for account of each Lender, upon the request of such Lender through Administrative Agent, such amount or amounts as shall be sufficient (in the reasonable opinion of such Lender) to compensate it for any loss, cost or expense that such Lender determines is attributable to:
(a) any payment, prepayment or Conversion of a LIBOR-based Loan made by such Lender for any reason (including, without limitation, the acceleration of the Loans pursuant to Administrative Agent’s or the Lenders’ rights referred to in Article 11) on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan; or
(b) any failure by Borrower for any reason to borrow a LIBOR-based Loan from such Lender on the date for such borrowing specified in the relevant notice of borrowing given to Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
Without limiting the effect of the preceding sentence, such compensation shall include an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that otherwise would have accrued on the principal amount so paid, prepaid, Converted or not borrowed for the period from the date of such payment, prepayment, Conversion or failure to borrow to the last day of the then current Interest Period for such Loan (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, the Interest Period for such Loan that would have commenced on the date specified for such borrowing) at the applicable rate of interest for such Loan provided for herein over (ii) the amount of interest that otherwise would have accrued on such principal amount at a rate per annum equal to the interest component of the amount such Lender would have bid in the London i nterbank market for Dollar deposits of leading banks in amounts comparable to such principal amount and with maturities comparable to such period (as reasonably determined by such Lender), or if such Lender shall cease to make such bids, the equivalent rate, as reasonably determined by such Lender, derived from Page 3750 of the Dow Jones Markets (Telerate) Service or other publicly available source as described in the definition of LIBOR Rate.
(6) U.S. Taxes.
(a) Gross-up for Deduction or Withholding of U.S. Taxes.

| (ii) | to any U.S. Taxes imposed solely by reason of the failure by such non-U.S. Person to comply with applicable certification, information, documentation or other reporting requirements concerning the nationality, residence, identity or connections with the United States of America of such non-U.S. Person if such compliance is required by statute or regulation of the United States of America as a precondition to relief or exemption from such U.S. Taxes. |

(7) Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation pursuant to Section 2.9(1) or 2.9(6), or any Lender’s obligation to Continue Loans of any Type, or to Convert Loans of any Type into the other Type of Loan, shall be suspended pursuant to Section 2.9(2) or 2.9(3) (any such Lender requesting such compensation, or whose obligations are so suspended, being herein called a “Requesting Lender”), Lead Borrower, upon three (3) Business Days notice, may require that such Requesting Lender transfer all of its right, title and interest under this Agreement and such Requesting Lender’s Note to any bank or other financial institution (a “Proposed Lender”) identified by Lead Borrower that is satisfactory to Administrative Agent (i) if such Proposed Lender agrees to assume all of the obligations of such Requesting Lender hereunder, and to purchase all of such Requesting Lender’s Loans hereunder for consideration equal to the aggregate outstanding principal amount of such Requesting Lender’s Loans, together with interest thereon to the date of such purchase (to the extent not paid by Borrower), and satisfactory arrangements are made for payment to such Requesting Lender of all other amounts accrued and payable hereunder to such Requesting Lender as of the date of such transfer (including any fees accrued hereunder and any amounts that would be payable under Section 2.9(5) as if all of such Requesting Lender’s Loans were being prepaid in full on such date) and (ii) if such Requesting Lender has requested compensation pursuant to Section 2.9(1) or 2.9(6), such Proposed Lender’s aggregate requested compensation, if any, pursuant to Section 2.9 (1) or 2.9(6) with respect to such Requesting Lender’s Loans is lower than that of the Requesting Lender.

Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, Borrower shall not be obligated to expend in any fiscal year on Insurance Premiums for Terrorism Insurance more than two (2.0) times the then-current annual premium paid by Borrower for the comprehensive all-risk insurance required under subsection 3.1(1)(a) hereof (the “Terrorism Insurance Cap”) and if the cost of the Terrorism Insurance Required Amount exceeds the Terrorism Insurance Cap, Borrower shall purchase the maximum amount of Terrorism Insurance available with funds equal to the Terrorism Insurance Cap; provided, however, the Terrorism Insurance Cap shall not apply or restrict the amount of terrorism coverage required to be obtained and maintained by this subsection (x) with respect to the Project if (a) owners and/or operators of mixed-use retail/office buildings in the same class as the Project in Bronx, New York are generally obtaining terrorism insurance, (b) lenders financing such mixed-use retail/office properties in the same class as the Project in Bronx, New York are generally requiring terrorism insurance as a condition of financing, or (c) Borrower or Sponsor or any Affiliate of Borrower or Sponsor, is obtaining terrorism insurance on any other properties in Bronx, New York of which any of the foregoing Persons own or operate. Not less than fifteen (15) days prior to the expiration dates of the Policies theretofore furnished to Lender pursuant to Section 3.1(1) hereof, Lead Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent insurance certificates showing payment of all premiums (the “Insurance Premiums”) for such Policies, which certificates shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent. Within sixty (60) days following the expiration dates of the Policies, Lead Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent certified copies of such Policies marked “premium paid” or accompanied by evidence satisfactory to Administrative Agent of payment of the Insurance Premiums.
(3) Borrower shall not obtain (a) any umbrella or blanket liability or casualty Policy unless, in each case, such Policy is approved in advance in writing by Administrative Agent, and Lenders’ interest is included therein as provided in this Agreement, or (b) separate insurance concurrent in form or contributing in the event of loss with that required in Section 3.1(1) to be furnished by, or which may be required to be furnished by, Borrow er. In the event Borrower obtains separate insurance or an umbrella or a blanket policy, Lead Borrower shall notify Administrative Agent of the same and shall cause certified copies of each Policy to be delivered as required in Section 3.1(1).
(4) All Policies provided for or contemplated by Section 3.1(1) hereof, except for the Policy referenced in Section 3.1(1)(e), shall name Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Lenders) as additional insured under liability policies and as mortgagee/loss payee under property policies, as their respective interests may appear, and in the case of property, boiler and machinery, and flood insurance, shall contain a so called New York standard non-contributing mortgagee clause in favor of Administrative Agent providing that the loss thereunder shall be payable to Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and shall otherwise be in form, substance and content reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent.
(5) All Policies provided for in Section 3.1(1)(a) hereof shall contain clauses or endorsements to the effect that:
| (i) | no willful act or negligence of Borrower, or anyone acting for Borrower, 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 Administrative Agent is concerned; |
| (ii) | the Policy shall not be materially changed (other than to increase the coverage provided thereby) or cancelled without at least thirty (30) days’ written notice (or ten (10) days’ written notice, in the case of non-payment of premium) to Administrative Agent and any other party named therein as an insured; |
| (iii) | each Policy shall provide that the issuers thereof shall give written notice to Administrative Agent if the Policy has not been renewed fifteen (15) days prior to its expiration; and |
| (iv) | Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any insurance premiums thereon or subject to any assessments thereunder. |
(6) If at any time Administrative Agent is not in receipt of written evidence that all insurance required hereunder is in full force and effect, Administrative Agent shall have the right, on five (5) Business Days’ notice to Lead Borrower to take such action as Administrative Agent deems necessary to protect its interest in the Project, including, without limitation, the obtaining of such insurance coverage as Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion deems appropriate, and all expenses incurred by Administrative Agent in connection with such action or in obtaining such insurance and keeping it in effect shall be paid by Borrower to Administrative Agent upon demand and until paid shall be secured by the Mortgage and shall bear interest at the Def ault Rate.
(7) In the event of a foreclosure of the Mortgage, or other transfer of title to the Project in extinguishment in whole or in part of the Loans all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to the Policies then in force and all proceeds payable thereunder shall thereupon vest in the purchaser at such foreclosure or Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders or other transferee in the event of such other transfer of title.
(8) Lead Borrower shall give immediate written notice of any loss in excess of $100,000 to the insurance carrier and to Administrative Agent. In connection with losses in excess of $100,000, but less than or equal to $2,000,000, Borrower and Administrative Agent shall cooperate in all matters related to the loss including, without limitation, making proof of loss, adjusting and compromising any claim under the insurance policies, appearing in and prosecuting any action arising from such insurance policies, and collecting and receiving insurance proceeds. In connection with losses in excess of $2,000,000, Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes and empowers Administrative Agent, as attorney in fact for Borrower coupled with an interest, to make proof of loss, to adjust and compromise any claim under insurance policies, to appear in and prosecute any action arising from such insurance policies, to collect and receive insurance proceeds, and to deduct therefrom Administrative Agent’s expenses incurred in the collection of such proceeds. Nothing contained in this Section 3.1(8), however, shall require Administrative Agent or any Lender to incur any expense or take any action hereunder.
Section 3.2 Use and Application of Net Proceeds.
The following provisions shall apply in connection with the Restoration of the Project:
(1) If the Net Proceeds shall be less than the Threshold Amount and the costs of completing the Restoration shall be less than Threshold Amount, the Net Proceeds will be disbursed by Administrative Agent to Borrower upon receipt, provided that (a) no Event of Default and/or Low DSCR Trigger Event has occurred and is continuing and (b) Borrower delivers to Administrative Agent a written undertaking to expeditiously commence and to satisfactorily complete with due diligence the Restoration in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(2) If the Net Proceeds are equal to or greater than Threshold Amount or the costs of completing the Restoration is equal to or greater than Threshold Amount Administrative Agent shall make the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3.2. The term “Net Proceeds” shall mean: (i) the net amount of all insurance proceeds received by Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 3.1(1)(a), (d), (f), (g) and (h) as a result of such damage or destruction, after deduction of its reasonable costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable counsel fees), if any, in collecting same (“Insurance Proceeds”), or (ii) the net amount of the Award, after deduction of its reasonable costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable counsel fees), if any, in collecting same ( “Condemnation Proceeds”), whichever the case may be.
(a) The Net Proceeds shall be made available to Borrower for Restoration provided that each of the following conditions are met:
| (i) | no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; except for the Casualty or Condemnation Event; |
| (ii) | (1) in the event the Net Proceeds are Insurance Proceeds, less than fifty percent (50%) of the total floor area of the improvements on the Project has been damaged, destroyed or rendered unusable as a result of such Casualty or (2) in the event the Net Proceeds are Condemnation Proceeds, less than ten percent (10%) of the land constituting the Project is taken, and such land is located along the perimeter or periphery of the Project, and no portion of the improvements is located on such land; |
| (iii) | Leases demising in the aggregate a percentage amount equal to or greater than sixty percent (60%) of the total rentable space in the Project which has been demised under executed and delivered leases in effect as of the date of the occurrence of such fire or other casualty or taking, whichever the case may be, shall remain in full force and effect during and after the completion of the Restoration, subject to an appropriate rent abatement (covered by loss of rental insurance), notwithstanding the occurrence of any such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be; |
| (iv) | Borrower shall commence the Restoration as soon as reasonably practicable (but in no event later than forty-five (45) days after such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, occurs) and shall diligently pursue the same to satisfactory completion in compliance with all applicable laws, including, without limitation, all applicable Environmental Laws; |
| (v) | Administrative Agent shall be reasonably satisfied that any operating deficits, including all scheduled payments of principal and interest under the Notes, which will be incurred with respect to the Project as a result of the occurrence of any such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, will be covered out of (1) the Net Proceeds, (2) the insurance coverage referred to in (iii), if applicable, or (3) by other funds of Borrower; |
| (vi) | Administrative Agent shall be reasonably satisfied that the Restoration will be substantially completed in accordance with applicable laws so that the tenants can legally and physically occupy their space on or before the earliest to occur of (1) three (3) months prior to the Maturity Date, (2) twelve (12) months after the occurrence of such Casualty or Condemnation, or (3) such time as may be required under applicable law, in order to repair and restore the Project to the condition it was in immediately prior to such Casualty or Condemnation or (4) the expiration of the insurance coverage referred to in Section 3.1(1)(c); |
| (vii) | the Project and the use thereof after the Restoration will be in compliance with and permitted under all applicable laws; |
| (viii) | Administrative Agent shall be satisfied that the Debt Service Coverage Ratio after the completion of the Restoration shall be equal to or greater than the Debt Service Coverage Ratio immediately prior to the Casualty or Condemnation, as applicable; |
| (ix) | such Casualty or Condemnation, as applicable, does not result in the total and permanent (following the Restoration) loss of access to the Project or the related improvements; |
| (x) | Borrower shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Administrative Agent a signed detailed budget approved in writing by Borrower’s architect or engineer stating the entire cost of completing the Restoration, which budget shall be acceptable to Administrative Agent; |
| (xi) | the Net Proceeds together with any cash or letter of credit deposited by Borrower with Administrative Agent are sufficient in Administrative Agent’s reasonable discretion to cover the cost of the Restoration; and |
| (xii) | the Property Management Agreement in effect as of the date of the occurrence of such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, shall (1) remain in full force and effect during the Restoration and shall not otherwise terminate as a result of the Casualty or Condemnation or the Restoration or (2) if terminated, shall have been replaced with a replacement Property Management Agreement with a qualified Property Manager, prior to the opening or reopening of the Project or any portion thereof for business with the public. |
(b) The Net Proceeds shall be held by Administrative Agent in an interest bearing account (with interest to be available to Borrower to the same extent as Net Proceeds are made available pursuant to the terms of this Section 3.2) and, until disbursed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3.2, shall constitute additional security for the Loans and other obligations under the Loan Documents. The Net Proceeds shall be disbursed by Administrative Agent to, or as directed by, Lead Borrower from time to time during the course of the Restoration, upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent that (A) all materials installed and work and labor performed (except to the extent that they are to be paid for out of the requested disbursement) in connection with the Restoration have been paid for in full (less Casualty Retainage), and (B) there exist no notices of pendency, stop orders, mechanic’s or materialman’s liens or notices of intention to file same, or any other Liens or encumbrances of any nature whatsoever on the Project which have not either been fully bonded to the reasonable satisfaction of Administrative Agent and discharged of record or in the alternative fully insured to the reasonable satisfaction of Administrative Agent by the title company issuing the title insurance policy.
(c) All plans and specifications required in connection with the Restoration, the cost of which is greater than the Threshold Amount, shall be subject to prior review and acceptance (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) in all material respects by Administrative Agent and by an independent consulting engineer selected by Administrative Agent (the “Casualty Consultant”). Administrative Agent shall have the use of the plans and specifications and all permits, li censes and approvals required or obtained in connection with the Restoration. The identity of the contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration the cost of which is greater than the Threshold Amount, as well as the contracts under which they have been engaged, shall be subject to prior review and acceptance by Administrative Agent and the Casualty Consultant. All costs and expenses incurred by Administrative Agent in connection with making the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration including, without limitation, reasonable counsel fees and disbursements and the Casualty Consultant’s fees, shall be paid by Borrower.
(d) In no event shall Administrative Agent be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds in excess of an amount equal to the costs actually incurred from time to time for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, minus the Casualty Retainage. The term “Casualty Retainage” shall mean an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the costs actually incurred for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, until the Restoration has been completed. The Casualty Retain age shall in no event, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above in this Section 3.2(2), be less than the amount actually held back by Borrower from contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration (but shall not be duplicative of such amounts actually held back by Borrower). The Casualty Retainage shall not be released until the Casualty Consultant certifies to Administrative Agent that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Se ction 3.2 and that all approvals necessary for the re-occupancy and use of the Project have been obtained from all appropriate Governmental Authorities, and Administrative Agent receives evidence satisfactory to Administrative Agent that the costs of the Restoration have been paid in full or will be paid in full out of the Casualty Retainage; provided, however, that Administrative Agent will release the portion of the Casualty Retainage being held with respect to any contractor, subcontractor or materialman engaged in the Restoration as of the date upon which the Casualty Consultant certifies to Administrative Agent that the contractor, subcontractor or materialman has satisfactorily completed all work and has supplied all materials in accordanc e with the provisions of the contractor’s, subcontractor’s or materialman’s contract, the contractor, subcontractor or materialman delivers the lien waivers and evidence of payment in full of all sums due to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman as may be reasonably requested by Administrative Agent or by the title company issuing the title insurance policy for the Project, and receives an endorsement to such title insurance policy insuring the continued priority of the Lien of the Mortgage and evidence of payment of any premium payable for such endorsement. If required by Administrative Agent, the release of any such portion of the Casualty Retainage shall be approved by the surety company, if any, which has issued a payment or performance bond with respect to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman.
(e) Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds more frequently than once every calendar month.
(f) If at any time the Net Proceeds or the undisbursed balance thereof shall not, in the opinion of Administrative Agent in consultation with the Casualty Consultant, if any, be sufficient to pay in full the balance of the costs which are estimated by the Casualty Consultant to be incurred in connection with the completion of the Restoration, Borrower shall deposit the deficiency (the “Net Proceeds Deficiency”), either in cash or a letter of credit, with Administrative Agent before any further disbursement of the Net Proceeds shall be made. & #160;The Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Administrative Agent shall be held by Administrative Agent in the Casualty/Taking Account in accordance with the Cash Management Agreement and shall be disbursed for costs actually incurred in connection with the Restoration on the same conditions applicable to the disbursement of the Net Proceeds, and until so disbursed pursuant to Section 3.2 hereof shall constitute additional security for the Loans and other obligations under the Loan Documents.
(g) The excess, if any, of the Net Proceeds and the remaining balance, if any, of the Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Administrative Agent after the Casualty Consultant certifies to Administrative Agent that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.2, hereof and the receipt by Ad ministrative Agent of evidence satisfactory to Administrative Agent that all costs incurred in connection with the Restoration have been paid in full, shall be remitted by Administrative Agent to Lead Borrower, provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and shall be continuing.
(3) All Net Proceeds not required (i) to be made available for the Restoration or (ii) to be returned to Lead Borrower as excess Net Proceeds pursuant to Section 3.2(2)(g) hereof may be retained and applied by Administrative Agent toward the payment of the Loans (without any prepayment premium) whether or not then due and payable in such order, priority and proportions as Administrative Agent in its sole and absolute discretion shall deem proper, or, at the sole and absolute discretion of Administrative Agent, the same may be paid, either in whole or in part, to Lead Borrower for such purposes as Administrative Agent shall approve, in its sole and absolute discretion. If Administrative Agent shall receive and retain Net Proceeds, the Lien of the Mortgage shall be reduced only by the amount thereof received and retained by Administrative Agent and actually applied by Administrative Agent in reduction of the Loans.
Section 3.3 Casualty and Condemnation.
(a) If the Project shall be damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty (a “Casualty”), Borrower shall give prompt notice of such damage to Administrative Agent and shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the completion of the Restoration of the Project as nearly as possible to the condition the Project was in immediately prior to such Casualty, with such alterations as may be reasonably approved by Administrative Agent and otherwise in accordance with Section 3.2 hereof. Borrower shall pay all costs of such Restoration whether or not such costs are covered by insurance (provided that, if Net Proceeds are required to be made available to Borrower for Restoration pursuant to the terms of Section 3.2 hereof, they are made available to Borrower for Restorati on). Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make proof of loss if not made promptly by Borrower.
(b) Lead Borrower shall promptly give Administrative Agent notice of the actual or threatened commencement of any proceeding for the Condemnation of all or any part of the Project and shall deliver to Administrative Agent copies of any and all papers served in connection with such proceedings. Administrative Agent may participate in any such proceedings, and Borrower shall, from time to time, deliver to Administrative Agent all instruments reasonably requested by it to permit such participation. Borrower shall, at its expense, diligently prosecute any such proceedings, and shall consult with Administrative Agent, its attorneys and experts, and cooperate with them in the carrying on or defense of any such proceedings. Notwithstanding any taking by any public or quasi public authority through Condemnation or otherwise (including, but not limited to, any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of the exercise of such taking), Borrower shall continue to pay the Loans at the time and in the manner provided for its payment in the Notes and in this Agreement and the Loans shall not be reduced until any Award shall have been actually received and applied by Administrative Agent, after the deduction of expenses of collection, to the reduction or discharge of the Loans. Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall not be limited to the interest paid on the Award by the condemning authority but shall be entitled to receive out of the Award interest at the rate or rates provided herein or in the Notes. If the Project or any portion thereof is taken by a condemning authority, Borrower shall, promptly commence and diligently prosecute the Restoration of the Proj ect and otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 3.2 hereof. If the Project is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Administrative Agent of the Award, Administrative Agent shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Notes shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive the Award, or a portion thereof sufficient to pay the Loans.
ARTICLE 4
RESERVES; COLLATERAL LETTERS OF CREDIT
Section 4.1Real Estate Tax and Insurance Reserve Fund.
(1) Deposits. On the Closing Date, Borrower shall deposit with Administrative Agent the amount of $213,645.46, which amount shall be held by Administrative Agent and disbursed by Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms of Section 4.1(2) (with such disbursements that would have been made by Depository Bank to be made directly by Administrative Agent) until such time as the Cash Management Agreement has been entered into, at which time Administrative Agent shall deposit any remaining amounts held by it and not disbursed pursuant hereto into the Tax and Insurance Reserve Account. On each Payment Date, Borrower shall deposit with Administrative Agent, for deposit in the Tax and Insurance Reserve Account, (i) a monthly amount, as determined by Administrative Agent, which will be sufficient to accumulate with Administrative Agent thirty (30) days prior to each due date therefor sufficient funds to pay all real estate taxes which Administrative Agent estimates will be payable during the next ensuing twelve (12) months, and (ii) a monthly amount, as determined by Administrative Agent, which will be sufficient to accumulate with Administrative Agent thirty (30) days p rior to the expiration of the insurance policies sufficient funds to pay all premiums which Administrative Agent estimates will be payable for the renewal of the coverage afforded by the insurance policies during the next ensuing twelve (12) months (said amounts in clauses (i) and (ii) above, together with the amount set forth in the first sentence of this Section 4.1(1), being, collect ively, the “Tax and Insurance Reserve Fund”). If at any time Administrative Agent reasonably determines that the Tax and Insurance Reserve Fund is not or will not be sufficient to pay real estate taxes and insurance premiums by the dates set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) above, Administrative Agent shall notify Lead Borrower of such determination and Borrower shall increase its monthly payments to Administrative Agent by the amount that Administrative Agent estimates is sufficient to make up the deficiency thirty (30) days prior to delinquency of the real estate taxes and/or thirty (30) days prior to expi ration of the insurance policies, as the case may be. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, if Borrower has an umbrella insurance policy that: (x) provides acceptable coverage for the Project, (y) is in full force and effect, and (z) is acceptable to Administrative Agent in its sole discretion, then Borrower shall not be required to make the deposits set forth in clause (ii) above with respect to the renewal of insurance policies.
(2) Disbursements. Borrower shall furnish Administrative Agent with (i) bills for the charges for which such deposits are required and (ii) a disbursement request (in a form reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent), executed by an authorized officer of Borrower, at least thirty (30) days prior to the date on which the charges first become payable. Provided that no Event of Default exists, Administrative Agent will direct the Depository Bank to apply the Tax and Insurance Reserve Fund to payments of insurance premiums and real estate taxes requ ired to be made by Borrower pursuant to Sections 3.1 and 9.2, respectively, and under the Mortgage but not, in any event, earlier than ten (10) days prior to the due dates thereof. In making any payment relating to the Tax and Insurance Reserve Fund, the Depository Bank may do so according to any bill, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public o ffice (with respect to real estate taxes) or insurer or agent (with respect to insurance premiums), without inquiry into the accuracy of such bill, statement or estimate or into the validity of any tax, assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim thereof unless said bill, statement or estimate is obviously incorrect. If the amount of the Tax and Insurance Reserve Fund shall exceed the amounts due for real estate taxes and insurance premiums pursuant to Sections 3.1 and 9.2, respectively, Administrative Agent shall, in its sole and absolute discretion, return any excess to Lead Borrower or credit such excess against future payments to be made to the Tax and Insurance Reserve Fund. Provided that on the date that said real estate taxes are due and payable, no Event of Default exists and sufficient funds are on deposit in the Tax and Insurance Reserve Fund to pay real estate taxes, Borrower shall not be liable to pay and shall not be charged with any late charges, interest and/or penalties imposed by or payable to any Governmental Authority as a result of the Depository Bank’s failure to pay real estate taxes prior to the date that same become delinquent.
Section 4.2Tenant Improvement/Leasing Reserve Letter of Credit.
Borrower shall provide to Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders an unconditional, irrevocable standby letter of credit (the “TI/LC Letter of Credit”) in the amount of $4,610,000.00 to be used for the payment of future tenant improvements and leasing commissions, which TI/LC Letter of Credit conforms with the requirements of a Collateral Letter of Credit (except that the TI/LC Letter of Credit delivered on the Closing Date only shall not be required to include an “evergreen” automatic renewal provision). The amount of the TI/LC Letter of Credit shall be reduced, upon the written request of Borrower made not more than once per calen dar month, in connection with the payment by Borrower of amounts for tenant improvements and leasing commissions for newly executed leases entered into at the Project which have been approved by Administrative Agent or are deemed approved pursuant to Section 6.2 hereof. Reductions to the TI/LC Letter of Credit shall be calculated using a tenant improvement allowance equal to the lesser of actual tenant improvement costs or $20.00 per net leasable square foot and reductions for leasing commissions shall be calculated using a leasing commissions allowance equal to the lesser of actual leasing commissions or $26.58 per net leasable square foot. The TI/LC Letter of Credit shall be subject to each of the terms and conditions set forth in Section 4.5 with respect to a Collateral Letter of Credit subject to the following additional terms:
(1) The TI/LC Letter of Credit delivered on the Closing Date shall have an expiry date no earlier than February 1, 2010. At least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration date of such TI/LC Letter of Credit and each renewal and extension thereof Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent either (i) a replacement, extension or renewal TI/LC Letter of Credit, in accordance with the terms hereof, or (ii) notice that such replacement, extension or renewal TI/LC Letter of Credit shall not be delivered.
(2) Following a draw by Administrative Agent on the TI/LC Letter of Credit solely because of the failure to furnish Administrative Agent with a replacement or renewal of the TI/LC Letter of Credit, Administrative Agent will deposit such proceeds in the Additional Cash Collateral Account as security for the purposes for which such TI/LC Letter of Credit was delivered. Administrative Agent shall be entitled to draw upon such deposited proceeds to the same extent it would have been entitled to make a draw under the TI/LC Letter of Credit and such deposited proceeds shall be subject to disbursement to Borrower on the same basis as reductions to the TI/LC Letter of Credit are calculated, as described above. Administrative Agent shall direct th e Depository Bank to disburse the full remaining amount of such proceeds to Borrower provided (i) Borrower delivers to Administrative Agent a replacement TI/LC Letter of Credit acceptable to Administrative Agent in its sole discretion, (ii) there exists no Event of Default or Potential Default, and (iii) Borrower pays all of Administrative Agent’s fees and expenses in connection with such draw and disbursement.
(3) In the event that Borrower fails to deliver to Administrative Agent a replacement, extension or renewal TI/LC Letter of Credit in accordance with the terms hereof, and Administrative Agent does not draw on the TI/LC Letter of Credit prior to its expiry date then Borrower shall furnish such replacement, extension or renewal TI/LC Letter of Credit or Additional Cash Collateral in the required amount of such TI/LC Letter of Credit no later than ten (10) days after the expiry date of such TI/LC Letter of Credit.

Administrative Agent’s right to withdraw and apply such funds shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies provided to Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders under the Loan Documents.
(3) Prohibition Against Further Encumbrance. Borrower shall not, without the prior consent of Administrative Agent, further pledge, assign or grant any security interest in the Reserve Funds or the Security Accounts or permit any Lien to attach thereto, or any levy to be made thereon, or any Uniform Commercial Code financing statements, except those naming Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders as the secured party, to be filed with respect thereto.
(4) Release of Reserve Funds. Any amount remaining in the Reserve Funds and the Security Accounts after the Loans have been paid in full shall be promptly returned to Borrower.
Section 4.5Collateral Letters of Credit. With respect to any Collateral Letter of Credit which Borrower may furnish or cause to be furnished to Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents:
(1) Administrative Agent will be entitled, among other things, to make one or more draws by presentment thereof to the issuing bank accompanied only by Administrative Agent’s clean sight-draft, it being intended that the issuing bank shall have no right to inquire as to Administrative Agent’s right to draw upon such Collateral Letter of Credit;
(2) Administrative Agent shall be entitled, among other things, to draw upon each Collateral Letter of Credit, in whole, or in part from time to time, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default or under the other circumstances under which a draw shall be permitted under the Loan Documents or the Collateral Letter of Credit;

Proceeds of any draw upon a Collateral Letter of Credit (after reimbursement of any costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and reimbursements, incurred by Administrative Agent in connection with such draw) may be applied by Administrative Agent to the payment of the Loans in such manner as Administrative Agent may determine. No delay or omission of Administrative Agent or the Lenders in exercising any right to draw on a Collateral Letter of Credit shall impair any such right, or shall be construed as a waiver of, or acquiescence in, any Event of Default.
(6) Administrative Agent shall, upon request, release its rights in any Collateral Letters of Credit and surrender such Collateral Letters of Credit to the issuing bank upon the payment in full of all Loans.

If the Loans would be usurious under applicable law (including the laws of the State and the laws of the United States of America), then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Loan Documents: (1) the aggregate of all consideration which constitutes interest under applicable law that is contracted for, taken, reserved, charged or received under the Loan Documents shall under no circumstances exceed the maximum amount of interest allowed by applicable law, and any excess shall be credited on the Notes by the holders thereof (or, if the Notes have been paid in full, refunded to Borrower); and (2) if maturity is accelerated by reason of an election by Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms hereof, or in the event of any prepayment, then any consideration which constitutes interest may never include more than the maximum amount allowed by applicable law.

Section 12.24 Assignments and Participations.
(1) Assignments by Borrower. Borrower may not assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder or under the Notes without the prior consent of all of the Lenders and Administrative Agent.
(2) Assignments by the Lenders. Each Lender may assign any of its Loans, its Note and its Commitment (but only with the consent of Administrative Agent); provided that:
(a) no such consent by Administrative Agent shall be required in the case of any assignment by any Lender to another Lender or an Affiliate of such Lender or such other Lender (provided that in the case of an assignment to an Affiliate of the assigning Lender, the assigning Lender will not be released from its obligations under the Loan Documents and Administrative Agent may continue to deal only with such assigning Lender);
(b) except to the extent Administrative Agent shall otherwise consent, any such partial assignment (other than to another Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender) shall be in an amount at least equal to $10,000,000;
(c) each such assignment (including an assignment to another Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender) by a Lender of its Loans or Commitment shall be made in such manner so that the same portion of its Loans and Commitment is assigned to the respective assignee;
(d) subject to the applicable Lender’s compliance with the provisions of clauses (b) and (c) above, Administrative Agent’s consent to an assignment shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned if (i) such assignment is made to an Eligible Assignee, and (ii) the provisions of clause (e) have been satisfied; and
(e) upon execution and delivery by the assignee (even if already a Lender) to Borrower and Administrative Agent of an Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which such assignee agrees to become a “Lender” hereunder (if not already a Lender) having the Commitment and Loans specified in such instrument, and upon consent thereto by Administrative Agent to the extent required above, the assignee shall have, to the extent of such assignment (unless otherwise consented to by Administrative Agent), the obligations, rights and benefits of a Lender hereunder holding the Commitment and Loans (or portions thereof) assigned to it (in addition to the Commitment and Loans, if any, theretofore held by such assignee) and the assigning Lender shall, to the extent of such assignme nt, be released from the Commitment (or portion thereof) so assigned. Upon each such assignment the assigning Lender shall pay Administrative Agent a processing and recording fee of $3,500 (unless the assignee is an Affiliate of the Assigning Lender) and the reasonable fees and disbursements of Administrative Agent’s counsel incurred in connection therewith.
(3) Participations.
(a) A Lender may sell or agree to sell to one or more other Persons (each a “Participant”) a participation in all or any part of any Loans held by it, or in its Commitment, provided (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) Borrower, Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. In no event shall a Lender that sells a participation agree with the Participant to take or refrain from taking any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document except that such Lender may agree with the Participant that it will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to (i) increase or extend the term of such Lender’s Commitment, (ii) extend the date fixed for the payment of principal of or interest on the related Loan or Loans or any portion of any fee hereunder payable to the Participant, (iii) reduce the amount of any such payment of principal, (iv) reduce the rate at which interest is payable thereon, or any fee hereunder payable to the Participant, to a level below the rate at which the Participant is entitled to receive such interest or fee or (v) consent to any modification, supplement or waiver hereof or of any of the other Loan Documents to the extent that the same, under Section 12.2, requires the consent of each Lender. Subject to subsection (3)(b) of this Section 12.24, Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.9(1), 2.9(5), and 2.9(6) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (2) of this Section 12.24. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 12.24 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 12.24 as though it were a Lender.
(b) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.9(1) or 2.9(6) than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant that is a non-U.S. Person that would become a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.9(6) unless Lead Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of Borrower, to comply with Section 2.9(6) as though it were a Lender
(4) Certain Pledges. In addition to the assignments and participations permitted under the foregoing provisions of this Section 12.24 (but without being subject thereto), any Lender may (without notice to Borrower, Administrative Agent or any other Lender and without payment of any fee) assign and pledge all or any portion of its Loans and its Note to any Federal Reserve Bank as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A and any operating circular issued by such Federal Reserve Bank, and such Loans and Note shall be fully transferable as provided th erein. No such assignment shall release the assigning Lender from its obligations hereunder.
(5) Provision of Information to Assignees and Participants. A Lender may furnish any information concerning Borrower, any Borrower Party or any of their respective Affiliates or the Project in the possession of such Lender from time to time to assignees and participants (including prospective assignees and participants); provided that such assignee and participant agree to be bound by the terms of Section 12.29.
(6) No Assignments to Borrower or Affiliates. Anything in this Section 12.24 to the contrary notwithstanding, no Lender may assign or participate any interest in any Loan held by it hereunder to Borrower or any of its Affiliates without the prior consent of each Lender.
Section 12.25Brokers. Borrower hereby represents to Administrative Agent and each Lender that Borrower has not dealt with any broker, underwriters, placement agent, or finder in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Administrative Agent and each Lender harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, costs and expenses of any kind in any way relating to or arising from a claim by any Person that such Person acted on behalf of Borrower in c onnection with the transactions contemplated herein.
Section 12.26 Right of Set-off.
(1) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each of the Lenders is, subject (as between the Lenders) to the provisions of subsection (3) of this Section 12.26, hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, without notice to Borrower (any such notice being expressly waived by Borrower) and to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set-off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time he ld, and other indebtedness at any time owing, by such Lender in any of its offices, in Dollars or in any other currency, to or for the credit or the account of Borrower against any and all of the respective obligations of Borrower now or hereafter existing under the Loan Documents, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or any other Lender shall have made any demand hereunder and although such obligations may be contingent or unmatured and such deposits or indebtedness may be unmatured. Each Lender hereby acknowledges that the exercise by any Lender of offset, set-off, banker’s lien, or similar rights against any deposit or other indebtedness of Borrower whether or not located in New York or any other state with certain laws restricting lenders from pursuing multiple collection methods, could result under such laws in significant impairment of the ability of all the Lenders to recover any further amounts in respect of the Loan. Therefore, each Lender agrees that no Lender shall exercise any such right of set-off, banker’s lien, or otherwise, against any assets of Borrower (including all general or special, time or demand, provisional or other deposits and other indebtedness owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of Borrower) without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent.
(2) Each Lender shall promptly notify Lead Borrower and Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of the Lenders under this Section 12.26 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) which the Lenders may have.
(3) Each Lender agrees that it shall turn over to Administrative Agent any payment (whether voluntary or involuntary, through the exercise of any right of setoff or otherwise) on account of the Loans held by it in excess of its ratable portion (in accordance with this Agreement and any separate agreement among Administrative Agent and the Lenders) of payments on account of the Loans obtained by all the Lenders.
Section 12.27Limitation on Liability of Administrative Agent’s and the Lenders’ Officers, Employees, etc. Any obligation or liability whatsoever of Administrative Agent or any Lender which may arise at any time under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be satisfied, if at all, out of Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s respective assets only. No such obligation or liability shall be personally binding upon, nor shall resort for the enforcement thereof be had to, the property of any of Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s shareholders, directors, offi cers, employees or agents, regardless of whether such obligation or liability is in the nature of contract, tort or otherwise.
Section 12.28Cooperation with Syndication. Borrower acknowledges that Arranger intends to syndicate a portion of the Commitments to one or more Lenders (the “Syndication”) and in connection therewith, Borrower will take all actions as Arranger may reasonably request to assist Arranger in its Syndication effort. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower shall, at the request of Arranger (i) facilitate the review of the Loan and the Project by any prospectiv e Lender; (ii) assist Arranger and otherwise cooperate with Arranger in the preparation of information offering materials (which assistance may include reviewing and commenting on drafts of such information materials and drafting portions thereof); (iii) deliver updated information on Borrower and the Project; (iv) make representatives of Borrower available to meet with prospective Lenders at tours of the Project and bank meetings; (v) facilitate direct contact between the senior management and advisors of Borrower and any prospective Lender; and (vi) provide Arranger with all information reasonably deemed necessary by it to complete the Syndication successfully. Borrower agrees to take such further action, in connection with documents and amendments to the Loan Documents, as may reasonably be required to effect such Syndication; provided, however, that notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 12.28 or Section 12.29 to the contrary, Borrower shall not be required to enter into any such documents and amendments which would alter any of the material economic terms of the Loan Documents or which would create new or greater obligations or liabilities on Borrower Parties under the Loan Documents.
Section 12.29Severance of Loan. Loan Components. The Administrative Agent shall have the right, at any time, with respect to all or any portion of the Loan, to (a) cause the Notes, the Mortgage and the other Security Documents to be severed and/or split into two or more separate notes, mortgages and other security agreements, so as to evidence and secure one or more senior and subordinate mortgage loans, (b) create one or more senior and subordinate notes (i.e., an A/B or A/B/C structure) secured by the Mortgage and the other Security Documen ts, (c) create multiple components of the Notes (and allocate or re-allocate the outstanding principal amount of the Loan among such components) or (d) otherwise sever the Loan into two or more loans secured by the Mortgage and the other Security Documents (each of clauses (a) through (d), a “Bifurcation”); in each such case, in whatever proportions and priorities as Administrative Agent may so direct in its discretion to Administrative Agent; provided, however, that in each such instance (i) the outstanding principal amount of all the Notes evidencing the Loan (or components of such Notes) immediately following such Bifurcation shall be equal to the outstanding principal amount of the Loan immediately prior to such Bifurcation, and (ii) the weighted average Applicable Margin and/or Base Rate, as applicable, with respect to the new notes immediately after such Bifurcation and at all times prior to the occurrence o f any Event of Default shall not exceed the weighted average Applicable Margin and/or Base Rate, as applicable, with respect to the initial Notes delivered hereunder (as such interest rates are subject to being adjusted from time to time in accordance herewith, including as a result of the accrual of interest at the Default Rate). If requested by Administrative Agent in writing, Borrower shall execute within ten (10) days after such request, a severance agreement, amendments to or amendments and restatements of any one or more Loan Documents, and such documentation as Administrative Agent may reasonably request to evidence and/or effectuate any such Bifurcation, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent.
Section 12.30Confidentiality. Each of Administrative Agent and the Lenders and Borrower Parties and Sponsor agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Confidential Information, except that Confidential Information may be disclosed (a) to it and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made shall be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any Governmental Authority, (c) to the extent required by Applicable Law or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) to any assignee or pledgee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee or pledgee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to Borrower and its obligations, (g) with the consent of Borrower or Administrative Agent, as applicable, or (h) to the extent such Confidential Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 12.29 or of arrangements entered into pursuant hereto or (ii) becomes availabl e to such party from a source other than Borrower or its Affiliates or the Administrative Agent or the Lender or their Affiliates, as applicable; provided, however, the obligation to maintain the confidentiality of the Confidential Information provided hereunder shall expire twelve (12) months after the date upon which the Loans hereunder are indefeasibly paid in full. Administrative Agent and each Lender, to the extent required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 12.29, 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 Confidential Information as a commercial banker exercising reasonable and customary business practices would accord to its own confidential information. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the information subject to this Section 12.29 shall not include, and Administrative Agent and each Lender may disclose without limitation of any kind, any information with respect to the “tax treatment” and “tax structure” (in each case, within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.6011 4) of the transactions contemplated hereby and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to Administrative Agent or such Lender relating to such tax treatment and tax structure. For purposes of this Section 12.29, the information that shall be treated as Confidential Information shall mean, in the case of Administrative Agent and the Lenders, written non-public information concerning the Project and, in the case of Borrower, information concerning the terms and conditions set forth in the Loan Documents.
Section 12.31Designation of Lead Borrower as Agent for Borrower.
(1) Each Borrower hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Lead Borrower as that Borrower’s agent to obtain loans and advances under the Loan. As the disclosed principal for its agent, each Borrower shall be obligated to the Agent and the Lenders on account of loans and advances so made under the Loan as if made directly by the Lenders to that Borrower, notwithstanding the manner by which such loans and advances are recorded on the books and records of the Lead Borrower and/or of any Borrower (including, without limitation, on account of any such treatment of said loan or advance as an equity investment in a Borrower by Lead Borrower). Lead Borrower shall ensure that each Borrower receives from the Loan proceeds an amount or benefit that is a reasonably equivalent value for the grants of security made by each Borrower to Administrative Agent.
(2) Each Borrower recognizes that credit available to it under the Loan is in excess of and on better terms than it otherwise could obtain on and for its own account and that one of the reasons therefor is its joining in the credit facility contemplated herein with all other Borrowers. Consequently, each Borrower, jointly and severally, hereby assumes and agrees fully, faithfully, and punctually to discharge all obligations of all of the Borrowers under the Loan Documents.
(3) The proceeds of the Loan shall be deposited into an account in the name of the Lead Borrower or as otherwise indicated by the Lead Borrower. Neither the Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to see to the application of such proceeds.
(4) Each Borrower hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Lead Borrower as that Borrower’s attorney-in-fact to act in the Borrower’s name and stead and to do and perform all matters, to grant to the Agent for the benefit of the Lenders a security interest in the Collateral, transact all business, and make, execute and acknowledge all Loan Documents and other instruments relating to this Agreement including but not limited to, this Agreement, the Note, and the Security Documents. The Borrowers hereby acknowledge and agree that the power of attorney created hereby is coupled with an interest.

Section 13.1Recourse Liability . No past, present or future member, or any past, present or future shareholder, partner, member, officer, employee, servant, executive, director, agent, authorized representative or Affiliate of Borrower or any member of Borrower, (each such Person, an “Exculpated Party”) shall be personally liable for payments due hereunder or under any other Loan Document or for the performance of any obligation, or breach of any representation or warranty made by Borrower hereunder or thereunder. The sole recourse of the Lenders and Administrative Agent for satisfaction of the obligations of Borrower hereunder and under any other Loan Document shall be against Borrower and its assets and not against any assets or property of any such Exculpated Party other than the direct or indirect ownership interest of such Exculpated Party in Borrower. In the event that a Potential Default or Event of Default occurs in connection with such obligations, no action shall be brought against any such Exculpated Party by virtue of its direct or indirect ownership interest in Borrower.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 13.1 shall affect or diminish the obligations of Borrower or Guarantor under or in respect of each Loan Document to which it is a party, including Guarantor Documents (including the right to name any Guarantor in any foreclosure action in connection with its obligations under the Guarantor Documents) and the Co-Borrower Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 13.1, each Exculpated Party shall be personally (and on a full recourse basis) liable for and shall indemnify and defend Administrative Agent and the Lenders from and against, and shall hold Administrative Agent and th e Lenders harmless of, from and against any deficiency, liability, loss, damage, costs, and expenses (including legal fees and disbursements) suffered by Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders and caused by, or arising out of or as a result of any of the following: (i) such Person’s commission of a criminal act, (ii) such Person’s failure to comply with the provisions of the Loan Documents prohibiting a transfer or Change of Control; (iii) such Person’s misappropriation of any cash flow or other revenue derived from or in respect of the Project, including security deposits, insurance proceeds, condemnation awards, or any rental, sales or other income derived directly or indirectly from the Project, or the misapplication of any of the foregoing sums, in either event, in contravention of any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; (iv) such Person’s fraud or misrepresentation or inaccurate certification made at any time in connection with the Loan Documents or the Loans; (v) such Person’s intentional interference with Administrative Agent’s (or the Lenders’) exercise of its rights under any of the Loan Documents; (vi) such Person’s intentional destruction or removal of fixtures or personal property securing the Loans unless replaced by items of equal value and utility; (vii) such Person’s misapplication or misappropriation of funds disbursed from the Security Accounts or the Controlled Accounts; (viii) such Person’s commissions of intentional waste to or of the Project or any portion thereof or failure to maintain the Project in the manner required by the Loan Documents; (ix) failure to maintain the insurance coverage required by the Loan Documents; (x) failure to pay taxes, assessments and any other charges, including, without limitation, charges for labor or materials, which could result in prior liens against any portion of the Project; (xi) willful misconduct; (xii) Borrower files a voluntary petition under the Federal Ba nkruptcy Code or any other Federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law; (xiii) such Person files or joins in the filing of, or solicits or acts in concert with, or colludes or conspires with petitioning creditors with respect to, an involuntary petition against Borrower under the Federal Bankruptcy Code or any other Federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law; (xiv) Borrower files an answer consenting to or otherwise acquiescing in or joining in any involuntary petition filed against it, by any other Person under the Federal Bankruptcy Code or any other Federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law; (xv) such Person consents to or acquiesces in or joins in an application for the appointment of a custodian, receiver, trustee, or examiner for Borrower or any portion of the Project; (xvi) Borrower makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or admits, in writing or in any legal proceeding, its insolvency or inability to pay its debts as they become due; or (xvii) Borrower violates any of provisions se t forth in the definition of Single Purpose Entity and such violation results in a substantive consolidation of the Borrower or its assets in the bankruptcy of an Affiliate.
Section 13.2No Waiver of Certain Rights. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, (A) neither of Administrative Agent nor the Lenders shall be deemed to have waived any right which Administrative Agent or any Lender may have under Sections 506(a), 506(b), 1111(b) or any other provision of the Federal Bankruptcy Code, as such sections may be amended, to file a claim for the full amount due to Administrative Agent or such Lender under the Loan Documents or to require that all collateral shall continue to secure the amounts due under the Loan Documents and (B) Administrative Agent may pursue any power of sale, bring any foreclosure action, any action for specific performance, or any other appropriate action or proceedings against Borrower or any other Person for the purpose of enabling the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to realize upon the collateral for the Loans (including, without limitation, any Net Operating Income to the extent provided for in the Loan Documents) or to obtain the appointment of a receiver.
ARTICLE 14
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT
Section 14.1Appointment, Powers and Immunities. Each Lender hereby appoints and authorizes Administrative Agent to act as its agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents with such powers as are specifically delegated to Administrative Agent by the terms of this Agreement and of the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Administrative Agent (which term as used in this sentence and in Section 14.5 and the first sentence of Section 14.6 shall include reference to its Affiliates and its own and its Affiliates’ officers, directors, employees and agents):
(a) shall have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement and in the other Loan Documents, and shall not by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Document be a trustee for any Lender except to the extent that Administrative Agent acts as an agent with respect to the receipt or payment of funds, nor shall Administrative Agent have any fiduciary duty to Borrower nor shall any Lender have any fiduciary duty to Borrower or any other Lender;
(b) shall not be responsible to the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, or in any certificate or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by any of them under, this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except of representations, warranties and certifications expressly made by Administrative Agent to a Lender in writing as set forth in any Assignment and Acceptance executed by Administrative Agent in favor of a Lender), or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement, any Note or any other Loan Document or any other document referred to or provided for herein or therein or for any failure by Borrower or any othe r Person to perform any of its obligations hereunder or thereunder; and
(c) shall not be responsible for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it hereunder or under any other Loan Document or under any other document or instrument referred to or provided for herein or therein or in connection herewith or therewith, except to the extent any such action taken or omitted violates Administrative Agent’s standard of care set forth in the first sentence of Section 14.5.
(d) shall not, except to the extent expressly instructed by the Majority Lenders with respect to collateral security under the Security Documents, be required to initiate or conduct any litigation or collection proceedings hereunder or under any other Loan Document; and
(e) shall not be required to take any action which is contrary to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or Applicable law.
The relationship between Administrative Agent and each Lender is a contractual relationship only, and nothing herein shall be deemed to impose on Administrative Agent any obligations other than those for which express provision is made herein or in the other Loan Documents. Administrative Agent may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact, and may delegate all or any part of its obligations hereunder, to third parties and shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any such agents, attorneys-in-fact or third parties selected by it in good faith. Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of a Note as the holder thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until a notice of the assignment or transfer thereof shall have been filed with Administrative Agent, any such assignment or transfer to be subject to the provisions of Section 12.24. Except to the extent expressly provided in Sections 14.8, the provisions of this Article 14 are solely for the benefit of Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and Borrower shall not have any rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of the provisions hereof and the Lenders may Modify or waive such provisions of this Article 14 in their sole and absolute discretion..
Section 14.2Reliance by Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any certification, notice or other communication (including, without limitation, any thereof by telephone, telecopy, telegram or cable) reasonably 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. 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, hereunder or thereunder in accordance with instructions given by the Majority Lenders, and such instructions of the Majority Lenders and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on all of the Lenders.
Section 14.3 Defaults.
(1) Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of a Potential Default or Event of Default, other than a payment Event of Default arising out of Section 10.1, unless Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender, Lead Borrower or Borrower specifying such Potential Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default”. In the event that Administrative Agent receives such a notice of the occurrence of a Potential Default or Event of Default, Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders. Within ten (10) days of delivery of such notice of Potential Default or Event of Default fr om Administrative Agent to the Lenders (or such shorter period of time as Administrative Agent determines is necessary), Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall consult with each other to determine a proposed course of action. Administrative Agent shall (subject to Section 14.7) take such action with respect to such Potential Default or Event of Default as shall be directed by the Majority Lenders, provided that, (A) unless and until Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, including decisions (1) to make protective advances that Administrative Agent determines are necessary to protect or maintain the Project and (2) to foreclose on any of the Project o r exercise any other remedy, with respect to such Potential Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the interest of the Lenders except to the extent that this Agreement expressly requires that such action be taken, or not be taken, only with the consent or upon the authorization of all of the Lenders and (B) no actions approved by the Majority Lenders shall violate the Loan Documents or applicable law; provided further that if no consensus is reached by Majority lenders within one hundred twenty (120) days, Administrative Agent shall commence a foreclosure action with respect to the Project. Each of the Lenders acknowledges and agrees that no individual Lender may separately enforce or exercise any of the provisions of any of the Loan Documents (including the Notes) other than through Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of all material actions which Administrative Agent takes in accordance with the provisions of this Section 14.3(1) and shall continue to consult with the Lenders with respect to all of such actions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Majority Lenders shall at any time direct that a different or additional remedial action be taken from that already undertaken by Administrative Agent, including the commencement of foreclosure proceedings, such different or additional remedial action shall be taken in lieu of or in addition to, the prosecution of such action taken by Administrative Agent; provided that all actions already taken by Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 14.3(1) shall be valid and binding on each Lender. All money (other th an money subject to the provisions of Section 14.7) received from any enforcement actions, including the proceeds of a foreclosure sale of the Project, shall be applied, first, to the payment or reimbursement of Administrative Agent for expenses incurred in accordance with the provisions of Sections 14.3(2), (3) and (4) and 14.5 and to the payment of the Administrative Fee to the extent not paid by B orrower pursuant to Section 14.11, second, to the payment or reimbursement of the Lenders for expenses incurred in accordance with the provisions of Sections 14.3(2), (3) and (4) and 14.5; third, to the payment or reimbursement of the Lenders for any advances made pursuant to Sec tion 14.3(2); and fourth, to the Lenders in accordance with their respective Proportionate Shares (and, if applicable, to Eurohypo Counterparty under any Hedge Agreement for its Additional Interest in accordance with Section 9.15), unless an Unpaid Amount is owed pursuant to Section 14.12, in which event such Unpaid Amount shall be deducted from the portion of such proceeds of the Defaulting Lender and be applied to payment of such Unpaid Amount to the Special Advance Lender.
(2) All losses with respect to interest (including interest at the Default Rate) and other sums payable pursuant to the Notes or incurred in connection with the Loans shall be borne by the Lenders in accordance with their respective proportionate shares of the Loans. All losses incurred in connection with the Loans, the enforcement thereof or the realization of the security therefor, shall be borne by the Lenders in accordance with their respective proportionate shares of the Loan, and the Lenders shall promptly, upon request, remit to Administrative Agent their respective proportionate shares of (i) any actual out of pocket expenses incurred by Administrative Agent in connection with any Default to the extent any expenses have not been paid by Borrower, (ii) any advances made to pay taxes or insurance or otherwise to preserve the Lien of the Security Documents or to preserve and protect the Project, whether or not the amount necessary to be advanced for such purposes exceeds the amount of the Mortgage, and (iii) any other actual out of pocket expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement of the Mortgage or other Loan Documents. To the extent any such advances are recovered in connection with the enforcement of the Mortgage or the other Loan Documents, each Lender shall be paid its proportionate share of such recovery after deduction of the expenses of Administrative Agent and the Lenders.
(3) If, at the direction of the Majority Lenders or otherwise as provided in Section 14.3(1), any action(s) is brought to collect on the Notes or enforce the Security Documents or any other Loan Document, such action shall (to the extent permitted under applicable law and the decisions of the court in which such action is brought) be an action brought by Administrative Agent and the Lenders, collectively, to collect on all or a portion of the Notes or enforce the Security Documents or any other Loan Document and counsel selected by Administrative Agent shall prosecute any such action on behalf of Administrative Agent and the L enders, and Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall consult and cooperate with each other in the prosecution thereof. All decisions concerning the appointment of a receiver while such action is pending, the conduct of such receivership, the conduct of such action, the collection of any judgment entered in such action and the settlement of such action shall be made by Administrative Agent. The costs and expenses of any such action shall be borne by the Lenders in accordance with each of their respective proportionate shares.
(4) If, at the direction of the Majority Lenders or otherwise as provided in Section 14.3(1), any action(s) is brought to foreclose the Mortgage, such action shall (to the extent permitted under applicable law and the decisions of the court in which such action is brought) be an action brought by Administrative Agent and the Lenders, collectively, to foreclose all or a portion of the Mortgage and collect on the Notes. Counsel sele cted by Administrative Agent shall prosecute any such foreclosure on behalf of Administrative Agent and the Lenders and Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall consult and cooperate with each other in the prosecution thereof. All decisions concerning the appointment of a receiver, the conduct of such foreclosure, the acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, the bid on behalf of Administrative Agent and the Lenders at the foreclosure sale of the Project, the manner of taking and holding title to the Project (other than as set forth in subsection (6) below), and the commencement and conduct of any deficiency judgment proceeding shall be made by Administrative Agent. All decisions concerning the sale of the Project after foreclosure shall be made by the Majority Lenders, provided, however, the Lenders agree that if Administrative Agent receives a bona fide “all cash” (as determined by Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion) offer for the purchase of the entire Project which has been approved in writing by Administrative Agent and (i) such offer (A) equals or exceeds ninety percent (90%) of the most recent appraised value of the Project as established by an Appraisal that has been completed within six (6) months of such offer and (B) is equal to or greater than ninety percent (90%) of the outstanding principal balance of the Loan, and (ii) the consent of the Majority Lenders is not achieved within ninety (90) days from the date that Administrative Agent received such offer, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this subsection (4), Administrative Agent is irrevocably authorized to accept such offer on behalf of all Lenders. The costs and expenses of foreclosure will be borne by the Lenders in accordance with their respective proportionate shares.
(5) If title is acquired to the Project after a foreclosure sale or by a deed in lieu of foreclosure, title shall be held by Administrative Agent in its own name in trust for the Lenders or, at Administrative Agent’s election, in the name of a wholly owned subsidiary of Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders, or a subsidiary wholly owned by the Lenders and managed by the Administrative Agent.
(6) If Administrative Agent (or its subsidiary) acquires title to the Project or is entitled to possession of the Project during or after the foreclosure, all material decisions with respect to the possession, ownership, development, construction, control, operation, leasing, and management of the Project shall be made by Administrative Agent. All income or other money received after so acquiring title to or taking possession of the Project with respect to the Project, including income from the operation and management of the Project and the proceeds of a sale of the Project, shall be applied (subject to the terms of any separate agreement among Administrative Agent and the Lenders), first, to the payment or reimbursement of Administrative Agent and the expenses incurred in accordance with the provisions of this Article 14 and to the payment of the Administrative Fee to the extent not paid by Borrower pursuant to Section 14.11, second, to the payment of operating expenses, taxes and insurance with respect to the Project; third, to the establishment of reasonable reserves for the operation of the Project; fourth, to the payment or reimbursement of the Lenders for any advances made pursuant to Section 14.3(2); fifth to fund any capital improvement, leasing and other reserves; and sixth, to the Lenders in accordance with their respective Proportionate Shares (and, if applicable, to Eurohypo Counterparty under any Hedge Agreement for its Additional Interest in accordance with Section 9.15), unless an Unpaid Amount is owed pursuant to Section 14.12, in which event such Unpaid Amount shall be deducted from the portion of such proceeds of the Defa ulting Lender and be applied to payment of such Unpaid Amount to the Special Advance Lender.
Section 14.4Rights as a Lender. With respect to its Commitment and the Loans made by it Eurohypo (and any successor acting as 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 term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless the context otherwise indicates, include Administrative Agent in its individual capacity. Eurohypo (and any successor acting as Administrative Agen t) and its Affiliates may (without having to account therefor to any Lender) lend money to, make investments in and generally engage in any kind of lending, trust or other business with Borrower (and any of its Affiliates)(to the extent otherwise permitted by the terms of this Agreement) as if it were not acting as Administrative Agent, and Eurohypo and its Affiliates may accept fees and other consideration from Borrower for services in connection with this Agreement or otherwise without having to account for the same to the Lenders.
Section 14.5Standard of Care; Indemnification. In performing its duties under the Loan Documents, Administrative Agent will exercise the same degree of care as it normally exercises in connection with real estate loans that it syndicates and administers and holds for its own account, but Administrative Agent shall have no further responsibility to any Lender except as expressly provided herein and except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct which resulted in actual loss to such Lender, and, except to such extent, Administrative Agent shall have no responsibility to any Lender for the failure by Administrative Agent to comply with any of Administrative Agent’s obligations to Borrower under the Loan Documents or otherwise. Subject to the terms of any separate agreement among Administrative Agent and the Lenders, the Lenders agree to indemnify Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed under Section 12.5, but without limiting the obligations of Borrower under Section 12.5) ratably in accordance with the aggregate principal amount of the Loans held by the Lenders (or, if no Loans are at the time outstanding, ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments), for any and all liabilities, obligations, losses (other tha n losses due to Borrower’s failure to pay any interest, principal and fees payable by Borrower under the Loan Documents), damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Administrative Agent (including by any Lender) arising out of or by reason of any investigation in or in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any other documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (including, without limitation, the costs and expenses that Borrower is obligated to pay under Section 12.5, but excluding, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, normal administrative costs and expenses incident to the performance of its age ncy duties hereunder) or the enforcement of any of the terms hereof or thereof or of any such other documents, provided that no Lender shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent they arise from Administrative Agent’s breach of its standard of care set forth in the first sentence of this Section.
Section 14.6Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender agrees 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 credit analysis of Borrower and its Affiliates and 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 ow n analysis and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document. Subject to the provisions of the first sentence of Section 14.5, Administrative Agent shall not be required to keep itself informed as to the performance or observance by Borrower of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or any other document referred to or provided for herein or therein or to inspect the Project or the books of Borrower or any of its Affiliates. Except for notices, reports and other documents and information expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by Administrative Agent hereunder or as otherwise agreed by Administrative Agent and the Lenders, 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 any of its Affiliates that may come into the possession of Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates.
Section 14.7Failure to Act. Except for action expressly required of Administrative Agent hereunder, and under the other Loan Documents, Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to act hereunder and thereunder unless it shall receive further assurances to its satisfaction from the Lenders of their indemnification obligations under Section 14.5 against any and all l iability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.
Section 14.8Successor Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving notice thereof to the Lenders and Lead Borrower. The Majority Lenders (including all Lenders exclusive of Administrative Agent, for the purposed of determining the Majority Lenders), on the basis of gross negligence or willful misconduct (as to which a final determination is made in a judicial proceeding in which Administrative Agent has had an opportunity to be heard, which determination includes a specific finding that Administrative Agent had acted in a grossly negligent manner or had engaged in willful misconduct), may remove Administrative Agent at any time by giving thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Administrative Agent, Borrower and the other Lenders. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Majority Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent that shall be a Person that meets the qualifications of an Eligible Assignee. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Majority Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation or the Majority Lenders’ giving notice of removal, as the case may be, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, that shall be an institutional lender that meets the requirements of the immediately preceding sentence. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Adm inistrative 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 (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and prospective obligations hereunder (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section 14.8). The fees payable by Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between Borrower and such successor. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provision of this Article 14 and Section 12.5 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 14.9Consents under Loan Documents. Administrative Agent may (without any Lender’s consent) give or withhold its agreement to any amendments of the Loan Documents or any waivers or consents in respect thereof or exercise or refrain from exercising any other rights or remedies which Administrative Agent may have under the Loan Documents or otherwise provided that such actions do not, in Administrative Agent’s reasonable judgment, materially adversely affect the value of any collateral, taken as a whole, or represent a departure from Admin istrative Agent’s standard of care described in Section 14.5, except that, except as otherwise provided in any separate agreement entered into among Administrative Agent and the Lenders, Administrative Agent shall not agree to the following (provided that no Lender’s consent shall be required for any of the following which are otherwise required or contemplated under the Loan Documents):
(a) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the consent of such Lender;
(b) reduce the principal amount of the Loans or reduce the interest rate thereon without the consent of each Lender affected thereby;
(c) increase the interest rate on the Loans (exclusive of imposing the Default Rate) without the consent of all Lenders;
(d) extend any stated payment date for principal of or interest on the Loans payable to any Lender without the consent of each Lender affected thereby;
(e) release Borrower, any Guarantor or any other party from liability under the Loan Documents (except for any assigning Lender pursuant to Section 12.24 and any resigning Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 14.8 without the consent of each Lender (except that no such consent shall be required, and Administrative Agent is hereby authorized, to release Borrower and Guarantor upon payment of the Obligations in full in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents);
(f) release or subordinate in whole or in part any material portion of the collateral given as security for the Loans without the consent of each Lender (except that no such consent shall be required, and Administrative Agent is hereby authorized, to release any Lien covering the collateral under the Security Documents upon payment of the Obligations in full in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents);
(g) modify any of the provisions of Section 12.2 or this Section 14.9 or the definition of “Majority Lenders” or any other provision in the Loan Documents specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights thereunder or make any determination or grant any consent thereunder without the consent of each Lender;
(h) modify the terms of, or definition of, any Event of Default without the consent of each Lender;
(i) consent to (i) the sale, transfer or encumbrance of any portion of the Project (or any interest therein) or any direct or indirect ownership interest therein and (ii) the incurrence by Borrower of any additional indebtedness secured by the Project, in each case to the extent such consent is required under the Loan Documents (and subject to any standard of reasonability set forth therein) without the consent of each Lender;
(j) A modification or waiver of conditions to extension of the Maturity Date without the consent of each Lender;
(k) A modification or waiver of any financial covenants of Borrower in the Loan Documents without the consent of the Majority Lenders;
(l) A material modification of the terms of any cash management arrangement or lockbox without the consent of the Majority Lenders; or
(m) a waiver of any Event of Default without consent of the Majority Lenders.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, (a) any modification or supplement of ARTICLE 14, or of any of the rights or duties of Administrative Agent hereunder, shall require the consent of Administrative Agent and (b) Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to enter into modifications or amendments to the Loan Documents which are ministerial in nature, including the preparation and execution of Uniform Commercial Code forms, Assignments and Assumptions and subordination and non-disturbance agreements with tenants at the Project. If Administrative Agent solicits any consents or approvals from the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, each Lender shall within ten (10) Business Days of receiving such request, give Administrative Agent written notice of its consent or approval or denial thereof; provided that, if Administrative Agent’s request states that failure to respond within ten (10) Business Days shall be deemed consent and any Lender does not respond within such ten (10) Business Days, such Lender shall be deemed to have authorized Administrative Agent to vote such Lender’s interest with respect to the matter which was the subject of Administrative Agent’s solicitation as Administrative Agent elects. Any such solicitation by Administrative Agent for a consent or approval shall be in writing and shall include a description of the matter or thing as to which such consent or approval is requested and shall include Administrative Agent’s recommended course of action or determination in respect thereof.
Section 14.10Authorization. Administrative Agent is hereby authorized by the Lenders to execute, deliver and perform in accordance with the terms of each of the Loan Documents to which Administrative Agent is or is intended to be a party and each Lender agrees to be bound by all of the agreements of Administrative Agent contained in such Loan Documents. Borrower shall be entitled to rely on all written agreements, approvals and consents received from Administrative Agent as being that also of the Lenders, without obtaining separate acknowledgment or proo f of authorization of same.
Section 14.11Administrative Fee. So long as the Commitments are in effect and until payment in full of all obligations under this Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents, Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent, for its sole account, the Administrative Fee. The Administrative Fee shall be payable annually in advance commencing on the Closing Date pursuant to the Fee Letter.
Section 14.12 Defaulting Lenders.
(1) If any Lender (a “Defaulting Lender”) shall for any reason fail to (i) make any respective Loan required pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or (ii) pay its proportionate share of an advance or disbursement to protect the Project or the Lien of the Security Documents in accordance with this Agreement, any of the other Lenders may, but shall not be obligated to, make all or a portion of the Defaulting Lender’s Loan or proportionate share of such advance, provided that such Lender gives the Defaulting Lender and Administrative Agent prior notice of its intention to do so. The right to make such advances in respect of the Defaulting Lender shall be exercisable first by the Len der holding the greatest proportionate share and thereafter to each of the Lenders in descending order of their respective proportionate shares of the Loans or in such other manner as the Majority Lenders (excluding the Defaulting Lender) may agree on. Any Lender making all or any portion of the Defaulting Lender’s proportionate share of the applicable Loan or advance in accordance with the foregoing terms and conditions shall be referred to as a “Special Advance Lender”.
(2) In any case where a Lender becomes a Special Advance Lender (i) the Special Advance Lender shall be deemed to have purchased, and the Defaulting Lender shall be deemed to have sold, a senior participation in the Defaulting Lender’s respective Loan to the extent of the amount so advanced or disbursed (the “Advanced Amount”) bearing interest at the Loan rates provided herein (including interest at the Default Rate, if applicable) and (ii) the Defaulting Lender shall have no voting rights under this Agreement or any other Loan Documents so long as it is a Defaulting Lender. It is expressly understood and agreed that each of the respective obligations under this Agreemen t and the other Loan Documents, including advancing Loans, losses incurred in connection with the Loan, costs and expenses of enforcement, advancing to preserve the Lien of the Mortgage or to preserve and protect the Project, shall be without regard to any adjustment in the proportionate shares occasioned by the acts of a Defaulting Lender. The Special Advance Lender shall be entitled to an amount (the “Unpaid Amount”) equal to the applicable Advanced Amount, plus any unpaid interest due and owing with respect thereto, less any repayments thereof made by the Defaulting Lender immediately upon demand. The Defaulting Lender shall have the right to repurchase the senior participation in its Loan from the Special Advance Lender at any time by the payment of the Unpaid Amount.
(3) A Special Advance Lender shall (i) give notice to the Defaulting Lender, Administrative Agent and each of the other Lenders (provided that failure to deliver said notice to any party other than the Defaulting Lender shall not constitute a default under this Agreement) of the Advance Amount and the percentage of the Special Advance Lender’s senior participation in the Defaulting Lender’s Loan and (ii) in the event of the repayment of any of the Unpaid Amount by the Defaulting Lender, give notice to the Defaulting Lender and Administrative Agent of the fact that the Unpaid Amount has been repaid (in whole or in part), the amount of such repayment and, if applicable, the revised percentage of the Special Advance Lender’s senior participation. P rovided that Administrative Agent has received notice of such participation, Administrative Agent shall have the same obligations to distribute interest, principal and other sums received by Administrative Agent with respect to a Special Advance Lender’s senior participation as Administrative Agent has with respect to the distribution of interest, principal and other sums under this Agreement; and at the time of making any distributions to the Lenders, shall make payments to the Special Advance Lender with respect to a Special Advance Lender’s senior participation in the Defaulting Lender’s Loan out of the Defaulting Lender’s share of any such distributions before paying any amounts to the Defaulting Lender.
(4) A Defaulting Lender shall immediately pay to a Special Advance Lender all sums of any kind paid to or received by the Defaulting Lender from Borrower, whether pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or in connection with the realization of the security therefor until the Unpaid Amount is fully repaid. Notwithstanding the fact that the Defaulting Lender may temporarily hold such sums, the Defaulting Lender shall be deemed to hold same as a trustee for the benefit of the Special Advance Lender, it being the express intention of the Lenders that the Special Advance Lender shall have an ownership interest in such sums to the extent of the Unpaid Amount.
(5) Each Defaulting Lender shall indemnify, defend and hold Administrative Agent and each of the other Lenders harmless from and against any and all losses, damages, liabilities or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and interest at the Default Rate) which they may sustain or incur by reason of the Defaulting Lender’s failure or refusal to abide by its obligations under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, except to the extent a Defaulting Lender became a Defaulting Lender due to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Administrative Agent and/or any Lender. Administrative Agent shall, after payment of any amounts due to any Special Advance Lender pursuant to the terms of subsection (3) above, set-off against any payments due to such Defaulting Lender for the claims of Administrative Agent and the other Lenders pursuant to this indemnity.
(6) In the event any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender and none of the other Lenders elects to be a Special Advance Lender pursuant to subsection (1) above, Borrower shall have the right, at any time prior to the Completion Date, provided that no Potential Default or Event of Default exists, to cause another financial institution, reasonably acceptable to (x) the Majority Lenders if such institution is not an Eligible Assignee or (y) Administrative Agent if such institution is an Eligible Assignee, to assume Defaulting Lender’s obligations with respect to the Advance Amount on the then-existing terms and conditions of the Loan Documents (such replacement institution, a “Replacement Len der”). Such assumption shall be pursuant to a written instrument reasonably satisfactory to administrative Agent. Upon such assumption, the Replacement Lender shall become a “Lender” for all purposes hereunder, with a Commitment in an amount equal to the Advance Amount, and the Defaulting Lender’s Commitment shall automatically be reduced by the Advance Amount. In connection with the foregoing, Borrower shall execute and deliver to the Replacement Lender and the Defaulting Lender substitute notes substantially in the form of Exhibit C and stating: “This Note is a substitute note as contemplated by Section 14.12 of the Agreement; it replaces and is in lieu of that certain note made by Maker dated [date of Note] to the order of [Defaulting Lender] in the principal sum of [Defaulting Lender̵ 7;s original Commitment].” Such substitute notes shall be in amounts equal to, in the case of the Replacement Lender’s note, the Advance Amount and, in the case of the Defaulting Lender’s note, its Commitment as reduced aforesaid. Such substitute notes shall constitute “Notes” and the obligations evidenced by such substitute notes shall be secured by the Mortgage. In connection with Borrower’s execution of substitute notes as aforesaid, Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent evidence, satisfactory to Administrative Agent, of all requisite partnership/limited liability company/corporate action to authorize Borrower’s execution and delivery of the substitute notes and any related documents. Upon delivery of the foregoing substitute notes, each Defaulting Lender shall return to Borrower its note which was replaced, provided that the delivery of a substitute note to the Defaulting Lender pursuant to this Section 14.12 shall operate to void and replace the note previously held by the Defaulting Lender regardless of whether Defaulting Lender returns the same as required hereby. 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 the substitution of Lenders in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section. Lenders shall reasonably cooperate with Borrower’s attempts to obtain a Replacement Lender, but they shall not be obligated to modify the Loan Documents in connection therewith, other than modifications pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence.
Section 14.13Liability of Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent shall not have any liabilities or responsibilities to Borrower on account of the failure of any Lender (other than Administrative Agent in its capacity as a 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 14.14Transfer 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 hereunder to any of its offices wherever located in the United States; provided that Administrative Agent shall promptly notify Lead Borrower and the Lenders thereof.
Section 14.15Information for Lenders. Administrative Agent shall promptly provide each Lender with copies of all financial statements delivered by Borrower or Guarantor to Administrative Agent pursuant to the Loan Documents. Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver to each Lender all material information regarding the Property, Borrower and any other holder of any of the ownership interests of Borrower furnished to or obtained by Administrative Agent with respect to the Loan. Administrative Agent shall promptly provide each Lender with copies of all requests and notices received from Borrower by Admi nistrative Agent and all appraisals ordered by Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders.
Section 14.16Pfandbriefe. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, each Lender shall be permitted to assign or otherwise transfer its interest in the Loan and the Loan Documents to a trustee, administrator or receiver (or their respective nominees, collateral agents or security trustees) of a pool securing covered mortgage bonds (Pfandbriefe) issued by a German Pfandbriefebank under German Pfandbriefe legislation in connection with a Pfandbriefe Offering.
Section 14.17Restrictions on Transfers by Borrower. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement that may permit Transfers of any nature without consent of Administrative Agent and the Lenders, any Transfer of a direct or indirect ownership interest in Borrower, Borrower’s direct or indirect members, Borrower’s manager or any Guarantor shall be subject to the requirement that, after giving effect to such Transfer, such person and each Lender shall be in compliance with all Transfer Restriction Regulations. A “Transfer Restriction Regulation” shall mean any law or regulation of any Governmental Authority, including the USA Patriot Act and regulations issued pursuant thereto and “know your customer” laws, rules, regulations and orders, or any interpretation, directive or request under any such law or regulation by any court or Governmental Authority or monetary authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or any internal Lender policy resulting therefrom, or any internal Lender policy limiting the amount of loans which may be extended to any one customer of the Lender. If any Lender determines that a proposed transfer that does not require the Lender’s consent under this Agreement would cause the Lender to be in violation of a Transfer Restriction Regulation (any such Lender being herein called a “Restricted Lender”), such Lender shall notify Borrower. Borrower may not cause or permit the Transfer unless Borrower shall first either (i) prepay such Restricted Lender’s outstanding Loans or (ii) arrange for the transfer by such Restricted Lender of all of its right, title and interest under this Agreement and such Restricted Lender’s Note to an Eligible Assignee selected by Borrower that is reasonably satisfactory to Agent, such Eligible Assignee assumes all of the obligations of such Restricted Lender hereunder, and purchases all of such Restricted Lender’s interests hereunder for consideration equal to the aggregate outstanding principal amount of such Restricted Lender’s Loans, together with interest thereon to the date of such purchase (to the extent not paid by Borrower) and all other amounts accrued and payable hereunder to such Restricted Lender as of the date of such transfer
