Section 2.2.  
Interest; Loan Payments; Late Payment Charge.
 
2.2.1 Payments.
 
(a) Borrower shall make a payment to Lender of interest and, to the extent applicable, principal in the amount of the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount on the Payment Date
 
 
-22-

 
occurring in January 2013, and on each Payment Date thereafter to and including the Maturity Date. Each payment shall be applied first to accrued and unpaid interest and the balance to principal.  The Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount required hereunder is based upon a thirty (30) year amortization schedule. Interest on the outstanding principal amount of the Loan for the period through and including December 10, 2012, shall be paid by Borrower to Lender on the Closing Date.
 
(b) All payments and other amounts due under the Note, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be made without any setoff, defense or irrespective of, and without deduction for, counterclaims.
 
(c) Interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan shall accrue from the date hereof at the Applicable Interest Rate.
 
2.2.2 Interest Calculation.
 
Interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan shall be calculated by multiplying (a) the actual number of days elapsed in the period for which the calculation is being made by (b) the Applicable Interest Rate divided by three hundred sixty (360) by (c) the outstanding principal balance.
 
2.2.3 Payment on Maturity Date.
 
Borrower shall pay to Lender on the Maturity Date the outstanding principal balance, all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and all other amounts due hereunder and under the Note, the Security Instruments and the other Loan Documents.
 
2.2.4 Payments after Default.
 
Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, (a) interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan and, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, overdue interest and other amounts due in respect of the Loan, shall accrue at the Default Rate, calculated from the date such payment was due without regard to any grace or cure periods contained herein and (b) Lender shall be entitled to receive and Borrower shall pay to Lender on each Payment Date an amount equal to the Net Cash Flow After Debt Service for the prior month, such amount to be applied by Lender to the payment of the Debt in such order as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion, including, without limitation, alternating applications thereof between interest and principal.  Interest at the Default Rate and Net Cash Flow After Debt Service shall both be computed from the occurrence of the default until the actual receipt and collection of the Debt (or that portion thereof that is then due).  To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, interest at the Default Rate shall be added to the Debt, shall itself accrue interest at the same rate as the Loan and shall be secured by the Security Instruments.  This paragraph shall not be construed as an agreement or privilege to extend the date of the payment of the Debt, nor as a waiver of any other right or remedy accruing to Lender by reason of the occurrence of any Event of Default.  The acceptance of any payment of Net Cash Flow After Debt Service shall not be deemed to cure or constitute a waiver of any Event of Default.  Lender retains its rights under the Note to accelerate and to continue to demand payment of the Debt upon the
 
 
 
-23-

 
 happening and during the continuance of any Event of Default, despite any payment of Net Cash Flow After Debt Service.
 
2.2.5 Late Payment Charge.
 
If any principal, interest or any other sums due under the Loan Documents is not paid by Borrower on the date on which it is due, Borrower shall pay to Lender upon demand an amount equal to the lesser of five percent (5%) of such unpaid sum or the maximum amount permitted by Applicable Law in order to defray the expense incurred by Lender in handling and processing such delinquent payment and to compensate Lender for the loss of the use of such delinquent payment.  Any such amount shall be secured by the Security Instruments and the other Loan Documents to the extent permitted by Applicable Law.
 
2.2.6 Usury Savings.
 
This Agreement and the Note are subject to the express condition that at no time shall Borrower be obligated or required to pay interest on the principal balance of the Loan at a rate which could subject Lender to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate.  If, by the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the principal balance due hereunder at a rate in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate, the Applicable Interest Rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to the Maximum Legal Rate and all previous payments in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of principal and not on account of the interest due hereunder.  All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the sums due under the Loan, shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of the Loan until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Loan does not exceed the Maximum Legal Rate of interest from time to time in effect and applicable to the Loan for so long as the Loan is outstanding.
 
2.2.7 Indemnified Taxes.
 
(a) All payments made by Borrower hereunder shall be made free and clear of, and without reduction for or on account of, Indemnified Taxes, excluding (i) Indemnified Taxes measured by Lender’s net income, and franchise taxes imposed on it, by the jurisdiction under the laws of which Lender is resident or organized, or any political subdivision thereof, (ii) taxes measured by Lender’s overall net income, and franchise taxes imposed on it, by the jurisdiction of Lender’s lending office or any political subdivision thereof or in which Lender is resident or engaged in business, and (iii) withholding taxes imposed by the United States of America, any state, commonwealth, protectorate territory or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein as a result of the failure of Lender which is a Non-U.S. Entity to comply with the terms of paragraph (b) below.  If any non excluded Indemnified Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to Lender hereunder, the amounts so payable to Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to Lender (after payment of all non excluded Indemnified Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rate or in the amounts specified hereunder.  Whenever any non excluded Indemnified Tax is payable pursuant to Applicable Law
 
 
 
-24-

 
by Borrower, Borrower shall send to Lender an original official receipt showing payment of such non excluded Indemnified Tax or other evidence of payment reasonably satisfactory to Lender.  Borrower hereby indemnifies Lender for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by Lender which may result from any failure by Borrower to pay any such non excluded Indemnified Tax when due to the appropriate taxing authority or any failure by Borrower to remit to Lender the required receipts or other required documentary evidence.
 
(b) In the event that Lender or any successor and/or assign of Lender is not incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof (a “Non-U.S. Entity”) Lender agrees that, prior to the first date on which any payment is due such entity hereunder, it will deliver to Borrower two duly completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI or successor applicable form, as the case may be, certifying in each case that such entity is entitled to receive payments under the Note, without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes.  Each entity required to deliver to Borrower a Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI pursuant to the preceding sentence further undertakes to deliver to Borrower two further copies of such forms, or successor applicable forms, or other manner of certification, as the case may be, on or before the date that any such form expires (which, in the case of the Form W-8ECI, is the last day of each U.S. taxable year of the Non-U.S. Entity) or becomes obsolete or after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered by it to Borrower, and such other extensions or renewals thereof as may reasonably be requested by Borrower, certifying in the case of a Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI that such entity is entitled to receive payments under the Note without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes, unless in any such case an event (including, without limitation, any change in treaty, law or regulation) has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required which renders all such forms inapplicable or which would prevent such entity from duly completing and delivering any such form with respect to it and such entity advises Borrower that it is not capable of receiving payments without any deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax.
 
Section 2.3.  
Prepayments.
 
2.3.1 Voluntary Prepayments.
 
Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, Borrower shall not have the right to prepay the Loan in whole or in part prior to the Maturity Date.  On the Payment September 6, 2022 (the “Open Date”), or on any Payment Date thereafter, Borrower may, at its option and upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to Lender, prepay the Loan in whole, but not in part, without payment of the Yield Maintenance Premium, provided, Borrower simultaneously pays to Lender all accrued and unpaid interest on the amount of principal being prepaid through and including the date of prepayment.
 
2.3.2 Mandatory Prepayments.

-25-

 
amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of such Net Proceeds.  Provided that on the date of the related Casualty or Condemnation no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no Yield Maintenance Premium shall be due in connection with any prepayment made pursuant to this Section 2.3.2.
 
2.3.3 Prepayments After Default.
 
If, following an Event of Default, Borrower tenders payment of all or any part of the Debt, or if all or any portion of the Debt is recovered by Lender after such Event of Default such tender or recovery shall be deemed a voluntary prepayment by Borrower in violation of the prohibition against prepayment set forth in Section 2.3.1 hereof and Borrower shall pay, in addition to the Debt, (i) an amount equal to the greater of (a) one percent (1%) of the outstanding principal amount of the Loan to be prepaid or satisfied, or (b) the Yield Maintenance Premium that would be required if a Defeasance Event had occurred in an amount equal to the outstanding principal amount of the Loan to be satisfied or prepaid and (ii) all accrued and unpaid interest on the amount of principal being prepaid through and including the date of prepayment.
 
2.3.4 Making of Payments.
 
Each payment by Borrower hereunder or under the Note shall be made in funds settled through the New York Clearing House Interbank Payments System or other funds immediately available to Lender by 12:00 p.m., New York City time, on or prior to the date such payment is due, to Lender by deposit to such account as Lender may designate by written notice to Borrower.  Whenever any payment hereunder or under the Note shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the first Business Day succeeding such scheduled due date.
 
2.3.5 Application of Principal Prepayments.
 
All prepayments received pursuant to this Section 2.3 shall be applied to the payments of principal due under the Loan in the inverse order of maturity, except for prepayments received by Lender pursuant to Section 2.3.3 hereof, which prepayments may be applied by Lender in the order and manner determined by Lender in its sole and absolute discretion.

A Defeased Note cannot be the subject of any further Defeasance Event. The  Undefeased Note may be the subject of a further Defeasance Event in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Section 2.4 (the term “Note”, as used in this clause (v) for such purpose, being deemed to refer to the Undefeased Note that is the subject of further defeasance), provided, however, that no such partial defeasance shall take place unless the conditions outlined in Section 2.5 are satisfied;

(viii)           Borrower shall deliver confirmation in writing from the applicable Rating Agencies to the effect that such defeasance and release will not result in a downgrading, withdrawal or qualification of the respective ratings in effect immediately prior to such Defeasance Event for the Securities.  If required by the applicable Rating Agencies, Borrower shall also deliver or cause to be delivered a non-consolidation opinion with respect to the Successor Borrower in form and substance satisfactory to Lender and the applicable Rating Agencies;
 
(ix)           Borrower shall deliver an Officer’s Certificate certifying that the requirements set forth in this Section 2.4.1(a) have been satisfied;

(b)           In connection with a Defeasance Event, Borrower hereby appoints Lender as its agent and attorney-in-fact for the purpose of using the Defeasance Deposit to purchase U.S. Obligations (the “Defeasance Collateral”), which provide payments on or prior to, but as close as possible to, all successive scheduled payment dates after the Defeasance Date and up to and including the Open Date (assuming the Note, or the Defeased Note, in the case of a Defeasance Event for only a portion of the outstanding principal balance of the Loan, is prepaid in full as of such Open Date and including the outstanding principal balance and accrued interest on the Loan (or such portion of the Loan in the case of a Defeasance Event of a portion of the outstanding principal balance of the Loan in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Section 2.4) as of such Open Date), and all payments required after the Defeasance Date, if any, under the Loan Documents (the “Scheduled Defeasance Payments”).  Each of the U.S. Obligations that are part of the Defeasance Collateral shall be duly indorsed by the holder thereof as directed by Lender or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form and substance that would be satisfactory to a prudent institutional lender (including, without limitation, such instruments as may be required by the depository institution holding such securities or by the issuer thereof, as the case may be, to effectuate book entry transfers and pledges through the book entry facilities of such institution) in order to perfect upon the delivery of the Defeasance Collateral a first priority security interest therein in favor of Lender in conformity with all applicable state and federal laws governing the granting of such security interests.  Borrower, pursuant to the Security Agreement or other appropriate document, shall authorize and direct that the payments received from the Defeasance Collateral may be made directly to the Cash Management Account (unless otherwise directed by Lender) and applied to satisfy the obligations of Borrower under the Note or the Defeased Note (as applicable).  Any portion of the Defeasance Deposit in excess of the amount necessary to purchase the Defeasance Collateral required by this Section 2.4 and satisfy Borrower’s other obligations under this Section 2.4 and Section 2.5 hereof shall be remitted to Borrower.
 
2.4.2 Successor Borrower.

Except as set forth in Section 2.4 hereof and this Section 2.5, no repayment, prepayment or defeasance of all or any portion of the Loan shall cause, give rise to a right to require, or otherwise result in, the release of any Lien of any Security Instrument on any Individual Property.

(d) (a)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, with respect to a Casualty or a Condemnation, for so long as the Loan or any portion thereof is included in a Securitization, if the loan to value ratio (such value to be determined by the Lender in its sole discretion based on a commercially reasonable valuation method using only the portion of the Property which constitutes acceptable real estate collateral under the Code for a REMIC Trust) immediately after such Condemnation or Casualty, as the case may be, and prior to any Restoration (but taking into account any planned Restoration of the Property as if such planned Restoration were completed) is more than one hundred and twenty-five percent (125%), the principal balance of the Loan must be paid down by “qualified amount” as that term is defined in the IRS Revenue Procedure 2010-30, as the same may be amended, modified or supplemented from time to time (and no Yield Maintenance Premium or any other prepayment premium or fee shall be due in connection therewith), in order to meet the foregoing loan to value ratio unless Borrower delivers to Lender an opinion of counsel, acceptable to Lender in its reasonable discretion, that if such amount is not paid, such Securitization will not fail to meet applicable federal income tax qualification requirements or subject such Securitization to tax; provided, however, that if the immediately preceding provisions are no longer applicable under legal requirements relating to a REMIC Trust, Borrower shall comply with all legal requirements relating to a Casualty or Condemnation then in effect.

Upon the payment in full by Borrower of all sums evidenced by the Note and secured by the Security Instruments and release by Lender of the Liens of the Security Instruments, Lender shall disburse to Borrower all remaining Required Repair Funds, if any.
 
Section 7.2.  
Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund.
 
Borrower shall deposit with Lender on each Payment Date (a) one-twelfth of the Taxes (the “Monthly Tax Deposit”) that Lender estimates will be payable during the next ensuing twelve (12) months in order to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Taxes at least thirty (30) days prior to their respective due dates; and (b) at the option of Lender, if the liability or casualty Policy maintained by Borrower covering the Properties shall not constitute an approved blanket or umbrella Policy pursuant to Section 6.1(c) hereof, or Lender shall require Borrower to obtain a separate Policy pursuant to Section 6.1(c) hereof, one-twelfth of the Insurance Premiums (the “Monthly Insurance Premium Deposit”) that Lender estimates will be payable for the renewal of the coverage afforded by the Policies upon the expiration thereof in order to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Insurance Premiums at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Policies (all such amounts in (a) and (b) above, collectively the “Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund”).  The Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund and the payments of interest or principal or both, payable pursuant to the Note and this Agreement, shall be added together and shall be paid as an aggregate sum by Borrower to Lender.  So long as no Event of Default is continuing, Lender will apply the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund to payments of Taxes and Insurance Premiums required to be made by Borrower pursuant to Sections 5.1.2 and 6.1 hereof, respectively.  In making any payment relating to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund, Lender may do so according to any bill, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office (with respect to 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.  If the amount of the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund shall exceed the amounts due for Taxes and Insurance Premiums pursuant to Sections 5.1.2 and 6.1 hereof, respectively, then Lender shall, in its sole discretion, return any excess to Borrower or credit such excess against future payments to be made to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund.  In allocating such excess, Lender may interact with the Person shown on the records of Lender to be the owner of the Properties.  Any amount remaining in the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund after the Debt has been paid in full shall be returned to Borrower.  If at any time Lender reasonably determines that the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund is not or will not be sufficient to pay Taxes and Insurance Premiums by the dates set forth in clauses (a) and (b) of the first sentence of this Section 7.2, Lender shall notify Borrower of such determination and Borrower shall increase its monthly payments to Lender by the amount that Lender estimates is sufficient to make up the deficiency at least thirty (30) days prior to delinquency of the Taxes and/or thirty (30) days prior to expiration of the Policies, as the case may be.

(e) If the contractor performing such Replacement requires periodic payments pursuant to terms of a written contract (and if such contract is for work the cost of which exceeds $25,000.00 and Lender has approved in writing in advance such contract), a request for reimbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account may be made after completion of a portion of the work under such contract, provided (A) such contract requires payment upon completion of such portion of the work, (B) the materials for which the request is made are on site at the applicable Individual Property and are properly secured or have been installed in such Individual Property, (C) all other conditions in this Section 7.3 for disbursement have been satisfied, (D) funds remaining in the Replacement Reserve Account are, in Lender’s judgment, sufficient to complete such Replacement and other Replacements when required, and (E) if required by Lender, each contractor or subcontractor receiving payments under such contract shall provide a waiver of lien with respect to amounts which have been paid to that contractor or subcontractor.

(a) Borrower shall make Replacements when required in order to keep each Individual Property in condition and repair consistent with other properties similar to the Property in the same market segment in the metropolitan area in which the respective Individual Property is located, and to keep each Individual Property or any portion thereof from deteriorating.  Borrower shall complete all Replacements in a good and workmanlike manner as soon as practicable following the commencement of making each such Replacement.
 
(b) Lender reserves the right, at its option, to approve all contracts or work orders with materialmen, mechanics, suppliers, subcontractors, contractors or other parties providing labor or materials in connection with the Replacements with respect to each Individual Property.  Upon Lender’s request, Borrower shall assign any contract or subcontract to Lender.
 
(c) In the event Lender determines in its reasonable discretion that any Replacement is not being performed in a workmanlike or timely manner or that any Replacement has not been completed in a workmanlike or timely manner, Lender shall have the option to withhold disbursement for such unsatisfactory Replacement and to proceed under existing contracts or to contract with third parties to complete such Replacement and to apply the Replacement Reserve Fund toward the labor and materials necessary to complete such Replacement, without providing any prior notice to Borrower and to exercise any and all other remedies available to Lender upon an Event of Default hereunder.

(d) In order to facilitate Lender’s completion or making of the Replacements pursuant to Section 7.3.3(c) above, Borrower grants Lender the right to enter onto any Individual Property and perform any and all work and labor necessary to complete or make the Replacements and/or employ watchmen to protect such Individual Property from damage.  All sums so expended by Lender, to the extent not from the Replacement Reserve Fund, shall be deemed to have been advanced under the Loan to Borrower and secured by the Security Instruments.  For this purpose, Borrower constitutes and appoints Lender its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution to complete or undertake the Replacements in the name of Borrower.  Such power of attorney shall be deemed to be a power coupled with an interest and cannot be revoked.  Borrower empowers said attorney-in-fact as follows:  (i) to use any funds in the Replacement Reserve Account for the purpose of making or completing the Replacements; (ii) to make such additions, changes and corrections to the Replacements as shall be necessary or desirable to complete the Replacements; (iii) to employ such contractors, subcontractors, agents, architects and inspectors as shall be required for such purposes; (iv) to pay, settle or compromise all existing bills and claims which are or may become a Lien against any Individual Property, or as may be necessary or desirable for the completion of the Replacements, or for clearance of title; (v) to execute all applications and certificates in the name of Borrower which may be required by any of the contract documents; (vi) to prosecute and defend all actions or proceedings in connection with any Individual Property or the rehabilitation and repair of any Individual Property; and (vii) to do any and every act which Borrower might do in its own behalf to fulfill the terms of this Agreement.

(g) Lender may require an inspection of an Individual Property at Borrower’s expense prior to making a monthly disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account with respect to each Individual Property in order to verify completion of the Replacements for which reimbursement is sought.  Lender may require that such inspection be conducted by an appropriate independent qualified professional selected by Lender and/or may require a copy of a certificate of completion by an independent qualified professional acceptable to Lender prior to the disbursement of any amounts from the Replacement Reserve Account.  Borrower shall pay the expense of the inspection as required hereunder, whether such inspection is conducted by Lender or by an independent qualified professional.

7.3.4 Failure to Make Replacements.
 
(a) It shall be an Event of Default under this Agreement if Borrower fails to comply with any provision of this Section 7.3 and such failure is not cured within thirty (30) days after notice from Lender.  Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender may use the Replacement Reserve Fund (or any portion thereof) for any purpose, including but not limited to completion of the Replacements as provided in Sections 7.3.3(c) and 7.3.3(d), or for any other repair or replacement to any Individual Property or toward payment of the Debt in such order, proportion and priority as Lender may determine in its sole discretion.  Lender’s right to withdraw and apply the Replacement Reserve Funds shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies provided to Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

Remedies.
 
(a) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, all or any one or more of the rights, powers, privileges and other remedies available to Lender against Borrower under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents executed and delivered by, or applicable to, Borrower or at law or in equity may be exercised by Lender at any time and from time to time, whether or not all or any of the Debt shall be declared due and payable, and whether or not Lender shall have commenced any foreclosure proceeding or other action for the enforcement of its rights and remedies under any of the Loan Documents with respect to all or any part of any Individual Property or any other Collateral.  Any such actions taken by Lender shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singly, successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in its sole discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender permitted by Applicable Law, equity or contract or as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower agrees that if an Event of Default is continuing (i) Lender is not subject to any “one action” or “election of remedies” law or rule, and (ii) all Liens and other rights, remedies or privileges provided to Lender shall remain in full force and effect until Lender has exhausted all of its remedies against the Properties and the other Collateral and each Security Instrument has been foreclosed, sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Debt or the Debt has been paid in full.
 
(b) With respect to Borrower and the Properties, nothing contained herein or in any other Loan Document shall be construed as requiring Lender to resort to any Individual Property or Collateral for the satisfaction of any of the Debt in preference or priority to any other Individual Property or Collateral, and Lender may seek satisfaction out of all of the Properties or any other Collateral or any part thereof, in its absolute discretion in respect of the Debt.  In addition, Lender shall have the right from time to time to partially foreclose the Security Instruments in any manner and for any amounts secured by the Security Instruments then due and payable as determined by Lender in its sole discretion including, without limitation, the following circumstances:  (i) in the event Borrower defaults beyond any applicable grace period in the payment of one or more scheduled payments of principal and interest, Lender may foreclose one or more of the Security Instruments to recover such delinquent payments, or (ii) in the event Lender elects to accelerate less than the entire outstanding principal balance of the Loan, Lender may foreclose one or more of the Security Instruments to recover so much of the principal balance of the Loan as Lender may accelerate and such other sums secured by one or more of the Security Instruments as Lender may elect.  Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, the Properties shall remain subject to the Security Instruments to secure payment of sums secured by the Security Instruments and not previously recovered.

(c) Lender shall have the right, from time to time, to sever the Note and the other Loan Documents into one or more separate notes, mortgages and other security documents (the “Severed Loan Documents”) in such denominations as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion for purposes of evidencing and enforcing its rights and remedies provided hereunder.  Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender from time to time, promptly after the request of Lender, a severance agreement and such other documents as Lender shall request in order to effect the severance described in the preceding sentence, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender.  Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints Lender as its true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in its name and stead to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect the aforesaid severance, Borrower ratifying all that its said attorney shall do by virtue thereof; provided, however, Lender shall not make or execute any such documents under such power until three (3) days after notice has been given to Borrower by Lender of Lender’s intent to exercise its rights under such power.  The Severed Loan Documents shall not contain any representations, warranties or covenants not contained in the Loan Documents and any such representations and warranties contained in the Severed Loan Documents will be given by Borrower only as of the Closing Date.

Contributions and Waivers.
 
(a) As a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, each Borrower will benefit, directly and indirectly, from each Borrower’s obligation to pay the Debt and perform its Obligations and in consideration therefore each Borrower desires to enter into an allocation and contribution agreement among themselves as set forth in this Section 9.6 to allocate such benefits among themselves and to provide a fair and equitable agreement to make contributions among each of the Borrowers in the event any payment is made by any individual Borrower hereunder to Lender (such payment being referred to herein as a “Contribution,” and for purposes of this Section 9.6, includes any exercise of recourse by Lender against any Collateral of a Borrower and application of proceeds of such Collateral in satisfaction of such Borrower’s obligations, to Lender under the Loan Documents).

(c) In order to provide for a fair and equitable contribution among Borrowers in the event that any Contribution is made by an individual Borrower (a “Funding Borrower”), such Funding Borrower shall be entitled to a reimbursement Contribution (“Reimbursement Contribution”) from all other Borrowers for all payments, damages and expenses incurred by that Funding Borrower in discharging any of the Obligations, in the manner and to the extent set forth in this Section 9.6.
 
(d) For purposes hereof, the “Benefit Amount” of any individual Borrower as of any date of determination shall be the net value of the benefits to such Borrower and its Affiliates from extensions of credit made by Lender to (a) such Borrower and (b) to the other Borrowers hereunder and the Loan Documents to the extent such other Borrowers have guaranteed or mortgaged their Properties to secure the Obligations of such Borrower to Lender.
 
(e) Each Borrower shall be liable to a Funding Borrower in an amount equal to the greater of (A) the (i) ratio of the Benefit Amount of such Borrower to the total amount of the Obligations, multiplied by (ii) the amount of Obligations paid by such Funding Borrower, or (B) ninety-five percent (95%) of the excess of the fair saleable value of the property of such Borrower over the total liabilities of such Borrower (including the maximum amount reasonably expected to become due in respect of contingent liabilities) determined as of the date on which the payment made by a Funding Borrower is deemed made for purposes hereof (giving effect to all payments made by other Funding Borrowers as of such date in a manner to maximize the amount of such Contributions).
 
(f) In the event that at any time there exists more than one Funding Borrower with respect to any Contribution (in any such case, the “Applicable Contribution”), then Reimbursement Contributions from other Borrowers pursuant hereto shall be allocated among such Funding Borrowers in proportion to the total amount of the Contribution made for or on account of the other Borrowers by each such Funding Borrower pursuant to the Applicable Contribution.  In the event that at any time any Borrower pays an amount hereunder in excess of the amount calculated pursuant to this Section 9.6 above, that Borrower shall be deemed to be a Funding Borrower to the extent of such excess and shall be entitled to a Reimbursement Contribution from the other Borrowers in accordance with the provisions of this Section.
 
(g) Each Borrower acknowledges that the right to Reimbursement Contribution hereunder shall constitute an asset in favor of Borrower to which such Reimbursement Contribution is owing.
 
(h) No Reimbursement Contribution payments payable by a Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Section 9.6 shall be paid until all amounts then due and payable by all of Borrowers to Lender, pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents, are paid in full in Cash.  Nothing contained in this Section 9.6 shall limit or affect in any way the Obligations of any Borrower to Lender under this Note or any other Loan Documents.
 
(i) Each Borrower waives:

(D) any defense based upon any lack of authority of the officers, directors, partners or agents acting or purporting to act on behalf of any other Borrower or any principal of any other Borrower or any defect in the formation of any other Borrower or any principal of any other Borrower;
 
(E) any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in any other respects more burdensome than that of a principal;
 
(F) any defense based upon any failure by Lender to obtain collateral for the indebtedness or failure by Lender to perfect a lien on any collateral;

(P) any defense or benefit based upon Borrower’s, or any other party’s, resignation of the portion of any obligation secured by the applicable Security Instruments to be satisfied by any payment from any other Borrower or any such party.
 
(j) Each Borrower waives:
 
(A) all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by Lender even though the election of remedies, such as nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to security for the Loan or any other amounts owing under the Loan Documents, has destroyed Borrower’s rights of subrogation and reimbursement against any other Borrower;
 
(B) all rights and defenses that Borrower may have because any of Debt is secured by real property.  This means, among other things: (i) Lender may collect from Borrower without first foreclosing on any real or personal property collateral pledged by any other Borrower, (ii) if Lender forecloses on any real property collateral pledged by any other Borrower, (a) the amount of the Debt may be reduced only by the price for which that collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the collateral is worth more than the sale price, (b) Lender may collect from Borrower even if any other Borrower, by foreclosing on the real property collateral, has destroyed any right Borrower may have to collect from any other Borrower.  This is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses Borrower may have because any of the Debt is secured by real property; and
 
(C) any claim or other right which Borrower might now have or hereafter acquire against any other Borrower or any other person that arises from the existence or performance of any obligations under the Note, this Agreement, the Security Instruments or the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, any of the following: (i) any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, or indemnification; or (ii) any right to participate in any claim or remedy of Lender against any other Borrower or any collateral security therefor, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law;
 
 
-101-

 
(D) any rights of Borrowers of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification, and/or contribution against any other Borrower or any other person or entity, and any other rights and defenses that are or may become available to any Borrower or any other person or entity by reasons of Sections 2787-2855, inclusive of the California Civil Code;
 
(E) any rights or defenses that may be available by reason of any election of remedies by any Borrower (including, without limitation, any such election which in any manner impairs, effects, reduces, releases, destroys or extinguishes any Borrower’s subrogation rights, rights to proceed against any other Borrower for reimbursement, or any other rights of Borrowers to proceed against any other person, entity or security, including but not limited to any defense based upon an election of remedies by any Borrower under the provisions of Section 580(d) of the California Code of Civil Procedure or any similar law of California or of any other State or of the United Sates); and
 
(F) any rights or defenses Borrowers may have because the Obligations are secured by real property or any estate for years.  These rights or defenses include, but are not limited to, any rights or defenses that are based upon, directly or indirectly, the application of Section 580(a), Section 580(b), Section 580(d) or Section 726 of the California Code of Civil Procedure to the Obligations.

Section 10.13.  
Expenses; Indemnity.
 
(a) Borrower covenants and agrees to pay or, if Borrower fails to pay, to reimburse, Lender within fifteen (15) days of receipt of written notice from Lender for all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by Lender in connection with (i) the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and all the costs of furnishing all opinions by counsel for Borrower (including without limitation any opinions requested by Lender as to any legal matters arising under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or with respect to the Properties); (ii) Borrower’s ongoing performance of and compliance with Borrower’s respective agreements and covenants contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on its part to be performed or complied with after the Closing Date, including, without limitation, confirming compliance with environmental and insurance requirements; (iii) Lender’s ongoing performance and compliance with all agreements and conditions contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on its part to be performed or complied with after the Closing Date; (iv) the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and administration of any consents, amendments, waivers or other modifications to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other documents or matters requested by Lender; (v) securing Borrower’s compliance with any requests made pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement; (vi) the filing and recording fees and expenses, title insurance and reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for providing to Lender all required legal opinions, and other similar expenses incurred in creating and perfecting the Lien in favor of Lender pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; (vii) enforcing or preserving any rights, in response to third party claims or the prosecuting or defending of any action or proceeding or other litigation, in each case against, under or affecting Borrower, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Properties, or any other security given for the Loan; and (viii) enforcing any obligations of or collecting any payments due from Borrower under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or with respect to the Properties or in connection with any refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided under this Agreement in the nature of a “work-out” or of any insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be liable for the payment of any such costs and expenses to the extent the same arise by reason of the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct of Lender.  Any cost and expenses due and payable to Lender may be paid from any amounts in the Lockbox Accounts.
 
(b) Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Lender from and against any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for Lender in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding commenced or threatened, whether or not Lender shall be designated a party thereto), that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against Lender in any manner relating to or arising out of (i) any breach by Borrower of its obligations under, or any material misrepresentation by Borrower contained in, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or (ii) the use or intended use of the proceeds of the Loan (collectively, the “Additional Indemnified Liabilities”); provided, however, that Borrower shall not have any obligation to Lender hereunder to the extent that such Liabilities arise from the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct of Lender.  To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, defend and hold harmless set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it violates any law or public policy, Borrower shall pay the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under Applicable Law to the payment and satisfaction of all Additional Indemnified Liabilities incurred by Lender.
 
 
-106-

 
(c) Borrower shall, at its sole cost and expense, protect, defend, indemnify, release and hold harmless Lender and the Indemnified Parties from and against any and all losses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in the investigation, defense, and settlement of losses incurred in correcting any prohibited transaction or in the sale of a prohibited loan, and in obtaining any individual prohibited transaction exemption under ERISA, the Code, any State statute or other similar law that may be required, in Lender’s sole discretion) that Lender may incur, directly or indirectly, as a result of a default under Sections 4.1.10 or 5.2.8 hereof.

Section 10.15.  
Offsets, Counterclaims and Defenses.
 
Any assignee of Lender’s interest in and to this Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents shall take the same free and clear of all offsets, counterclaims or defenses which are unrelated to such documents which Borrower may otherwise have against any assignor of such documents, and no such unrelated counterclaim or defense shall be interposed or asserted by Borrower in any action or proceeding brought by any such assignee upon such documents and any such right to interpose or assert any such unrelated offset, counterclaim or defense in any such action or proceeding is hereby expressly waived by Borrower.
 
 
-107-

 
Section 10.16.  
No Joint Venture or Partnership; No Third Party Beneficiaries.
 
(a) Borrower and Lender intend that the relationships created hereunder and under the other Loan Documents be solely that of borrower and lender.  Nothing herein or therein is intended to create a joint venture, partnership, tenancy-in-common, or joint tenancy relationship between Borrower and Lender nor to grant Lender any interest in the Properties other than that of mortgagee, beneficiary or lender.
 
(b) This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are solely for the benefit of Lender and Borrower and nothing contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to confer upon anyone other than Lender and Borrower any right to insist upon or to enforce the performance or observance of any of the obligations contained herein or therein.  All conditions to the obligations of Lender to make the Loan hereunder are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of Lender and no other Person shall have standing to require satisfaction of such conditions in accordance with their terms or be entitled to assume that Lender will refuse to make the Loan in the absence of strict compliance with any or all thereof and no other Person shall under any circumstances be deemed to be a beneficiary of such conditions, any or all of which may be freely waived in whole or in part by Lender if, in Lender’s sole discretion, Lender deems it advisable or desirable to do so.
 
Section 10.17.  
Publicity.
 
All news releases, publicity or advertising by Borrower or their Affiliates through any media intended to reach the general public which refers to the Loan Documents or the financing evidenced by the Loan Documents, to Lender, or any of their Affiliates shall be subject to the prior written consent of Lender, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, disclosure required by any federal or State securities laws, rules or regulations, as determined by Borrower’s counsel, shall not be subject to the prior written consent of Lender.
 
Section 10.18.  
Cross-Default; Cross-Collateralization; Waiver of Marshalling of Assets.
 
(a) Borrower acknowledges that Lender has made the Loan to Borrower upon the security of its collective interest in the Properties and in reliance upon the aggregate of the Properties taken together being of greater value as collateral security than the sum of each Individual Property taken separately.  Borrower agrees that the Security Instruments are and will be cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with each other so that (i) an Event of Default under any of the Security Instruments shall constitute an Event of Default under each of the other Security Instruments which secure the Note; (ii) an Event of Default under the Note or this Agreement shall constitute an Event of Default under each Security Instrument; (iii) each Security Instrument shall constitute security for the Note as if a single blanket lien were placed on all of the Properties as security for the Note; and (iv) such cross-collateralization shall in no event be deemed to constitute a fraudulent conveyance.
 
(b) To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives all rights to a marshalling of the assets of Borrower, Borrower’s partners and others with interests in Borrower, and of the Properties, or to a sale in inverse order of alienation in the event of foreclosure of all or any of the Security Instruments, and agrees not to assert any right under any laws pertaining to the marshalling of assets, the sale in inverse order of alienation, homestead exemption, the administration of estates of decedents, or any other matters whatsoever to defeat, reduce or affect the right of Lender under the Loan Documents to a sale of the Properties for the collection of the Debt without any prior or different resort for collection or of the right of Lender to the payment of the Debt out of the net proceeds of the Properties in preference to every other claimant whatsoever.  In addition, Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives in the event of foreclosure of any or all of the Security Instruments, any equitable right otherwise available to Borrower which would require the separate sale of the Properties or require Lender to exhaust its remedies against any Individual Property or any combination of the Properties before proceeding against any other Individual Property or combination of Properties; and further in the event of such foreclosure Borrower does hereby expressly consents to and authorizes, at the option of Lender, the foreclosure and sale either separately or together of any combination of the Properties.
 
 
-108-

 
Section 10.19.  
Waiver of Counterclaim.
 
Borrower hereby waives the right to assert a counterclaim, other than a compulsory counterclaim, in any action or proceeding brought against it by Lender or its agents.
 
Section 10.20.  
Conflict; Construction of Documents; Reliance.
 
In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Agreement shall control.  The parties hereto acknowledge that they were represented by competent counsel in connection with the negotiation, drafting and execution of the Loan Documents and that such Loan Documents shall not be subject to the principle of construing their meaning against the party which drafted same.  Borrower acknowledges that, with respect to the Loan, Borrower shall rely solely on its own judgment and advisors in entering into the Loan without relying in any manner on any statements, representations or recommendations of Lender or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender.  Lender shall not be subject to any limitation whatsoever in the exercise of any rights or remedies available to it under any of the Loan Documents or any other agreements or instruments which govern the Loan by virtue of the ownership by it or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender of any equity interest any of them may acquire in Borrower, and Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to raise any defense or take any action on the basis of the foregoing with respect to Lender’s exercise of any such rights or remedies.  Borrower acknowledges that Lender engages in the business of real estate financings and other real estate transactions and investments which may be viewed as adverse to or competitive with the business of Borrower or its Affiliates.
 
Section 10.21.  
Brokers and Financial Advisors.
 
Borrower hereby represents that it has dealt with no financial advisors, brokers, underwriters, placement agents, agents or finders in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.  Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, costs and expenses of any kind (including Lender’s attorneys’ fees and expenses) in any way relating to or arising from a claim by any Person that such Person acted on behalf of Borrower or Lender in connection with the transactions contemplated herein.  The provisions of this Section 10.21 shall survive the expiration and termination of this Agreement and the payment in full of the Debt.
 
 
-109-

 
Section 10.22.  
Prior Agreements.
 
This Agreement and the other Loan Documents contain the entire agreement of the parties hereto and thereto in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and all prior agreements among or between such parties, whether oral or written, between Borrower and/or its Affiliates and Lender are superseded by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
 
Section 10.23.  
Delaware Opinions.
 
Within two weeks of Closing, Borrower shall deliver to Lender in forms reasonably satisfactory to Lender, opinions from special Delaware counsel opining that, among other things (i) under Delaware law, the bankruptcy or dissolution of the members of Borrower, will not cause the Borrower to be dissolve, and (ii) federal law should not preempt state law concerning the issue of what persons or entities have authority to file a voluntary bankruptcy petition on behalf of the Borrower.
