The Loan shall be disbursed by wire transfer in immediately available funds to, or for the account of, Borrowers in accordance with Borrowers’ written instructions and the terms hereof.
Section 2.2 Interest Rate. Subject to Sections 2.5 and 2.7 hereof, the outstanding principal balance of the Loan shall bear interest at an interest rate (the “Applicable Interest Rate”) equal to the LIBOR Rate and each subsequent LIBOR Rate Period shall commence on the day following the last day of the preceding LIBOR Rate Period.

If by the terms of the Note, this Loan Agreement, the Mortgages or any other Loan Document, Borrowers are at any time required or obligated to pay interest at a rate in excess of such maximum rate, the rate of interest shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to such maximum rate and the interest payments in excess of such maximum rate shall be applied and shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of principal.

For the avoidance of doubt, no Spread Maintenance Premium shall be payable in connection with any prepayment made on or after the Par Prepayment Date.

Section 2.6 LIBOR Rate Breakage.

The amount of any loss or expense for which Borrowers shall indemnify Lenders under this Section 2.6 shall be an amount equal to the excess, if any, as determined by Agent or the applicable Lender(s) of (i) Lenders’ cost of obtaining the funds for the Loan or any portion thereof being paid or prepaid for the period from the date of such payment or prepayment to the last day of the LIBOR Rate Period, over (ii) the amount of interest (as determined by Agent) that would be realized by such Lender(s) in redeploying the funds so paid or prepaid, as the case may be. Agent’s determination of any amount or amounts which Agent and/or any Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.6 shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
Section 2.7 Changes in Circumstance or Law.
(a) Unavailability of LIBOR. In the event that Agent reasonably and in good faith determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrowers) that (i) Dollar deposits in an amount approximately equal to the Loan are not generally available at such time in the London interbank Eurodollar market for deposits in Eurodollars, (ii) adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining a LIBOR Rate, (iii) such a LIBOR Rate would be in excess of the maximum interest rate which Borrowers may by law pay or (iv) that the LIBOR Rate does not adequately reflect such Lender’s costs of funds, Agent shall, within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of notice thereof from a Lender, give notice (the “Non-Availability Notice”) of such fact to Borrowers. Effective upon the giving of the Non-Availability Notice, the Loan shall bear interest at the Base Rate (or, when applicable, at the Default Rate), from and including the date of the giving of the Non-Availability Notice until the Maturity Date or until any earlier date on which the LIBOR Rate shall become effective for the Loan pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof following the giving of notice by Agent to Borrowers that the conditions referred to in this Section 2.7(a) no longer exist.
(b) Illegality.
(i) In the event that any Lender shall reasonably and in good faith determine such (which determination shall be conclusive and binding on Borrowers absent manifest error) that it shall become illegal for such Lender to maintain the Loan on the basis of a LIBOR Rate having a LIBOR Rate Period which is permitted hereunder, Agent shall within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of notice thereof from such Lender give notice
62383226 38
of such fact to Borrowers. Effective upon the giving of such a notice to Borrowers, the Loan shall bear interest at a LIBOR Rate having a LIBOR Rate Period permitted hereunder which may be legally maintained by such Lender or, if no LIBOR Rate having a LIBOR Rate Period permitted hereunder may be legally maintained by such Lender, the Loan shall bear interest at the Base Rate until the Maturity Date or until such time as such condition shall no longer exist following the giving of notice by Agent to Borrowers that the conditions referred to in this Section 2.7(b) no longer persist.
(ii) In the event that any Lender shall reasonably and in good faith determine that, as the result of any Permitted Transfer (other than a Permitted Transfer from one Sponsor to another Sponsor, directly or indirectly) or any change in law, treaty, regulation (including the administration or interpretation thereof) with respect to the maximum credit exposure that such Lender may maintain with the holder of any direct or indirect interest in a Borrower Party, that it shall become illegal for such Lender to maintain the Loan, then Borrowers shall, upon 180 days prior written notice from Agent (which written notice shall set forth the law or regulation in question), prepay the Loan in full or in such lesser amount which would result in the Loan no longer being illegal for any such Lender to maintain. No Spread Maintenance Premium shall be payable in connection with any prepayment made pursuant to this Section 2.7(b)(ii). Within fifteen (15) Business Days of Borrower Parties’ request therefor, which request shall be accompanied by an updated organizational chart and such other information reasonably requested by Agent, Agent shall confirm to Borrower Parties whether such proposed Permitted Transfer would require a full or partial prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.7(b)(ii) based upon then current Legal Requirements (which confirmation shall set forth the law or regulation in question).
(c) Obligation to Mitigate. Each Lender agrees that, within a reasonable period of time after the officer of such Lender having primary responsibility for administering its portion of the Loan becomes aware of the occurrence of an event or the existence of a condition that would entitle such Lender to receive payments or exercise rights under this Section 2.7, such Lender will, to the extent not inconsistent with the internal policies of such Lender and any applicable legal or regulatory restrictions, use reasonable efforts to (i) make, issue, fund or maintain its portion of the Loan through another office of such Lender, or (ii) take such other measures as such Lender may deem reasonable, if as a result thereof the circumstances which would cause the additional amounts which would otherwise be required to be paid to such Lender, or invoke the rights of such Lender, pursuant to this Section 2.7 to be materially reduced and if, as determined by such Lender in its sole discretion, the making, issuing, funding or maintaining of its portion of the Loan through such other office or in accordance with such other measures, as the case may be, would not otherwise adversely affect such Loan portion or the interests of such Lender; provided, such Lender will not be obligated to utilize such other office pursuant to this Section 2.7(c) unless Borrower agrees to pay all incremental expenses incurred by such Lender as a result of utilizing such other office as described above.
Section 2.8 No Withholdings. All sums payable by Borrowers under this Loan Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents, shall be paid in full and without set-off or counterclaims and free of any deductions or withholdings for any and all present and future taxes,
62383226 39
levies, imposts, deductions, duties, filing and other fees or charges (collectively, “Taxes”). In the event that Borrowers are prohibited by any law from making any such payment free of such deductions or withholdings with respect to Taxes as a result of any change in any applicable law, regulation or treaty, or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any domestic or foreign governmental authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof (whether or not having the force of law), or by any domestic or foreign court, then Borrowers shall pay such additional amount to Agent as may be necessary in order that the actual amount received by Agent after such deduction or withholding (and after payment of any additional Taxes due as a consequence of the payment of such additional amount) shall equal the amount that would have been received if such deduction or withholding were not required; provided, however, that Borrowers shall not be obligated to pay such additional amounts attributable to Excluded Taxes.
(a) Without limitation on the generality of the proviso in the last sentence of Section 2.8(a), Borrowers shall not be obligated to pay any additional amounts on account of a specific Lender or the Agent if such Lender or Agent fails to deliver to Borrowers: (i) in the case of a Lender or Agent (or, if such Lender or Agent is a disregarded entity for United States federal income tax purposes, the Person treated, for United States federal income tax purposes, as the owner of the assets of such Lender or such Agent) that is not organized under the laws of the United States or a state thereof, a duly executed copy of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W‑8 BEN, W‑8 ECI or W‑8 IMY and/or any successor form or any required renewal thereof, as the case may be, certifying in each case that such Lender or Agent is entitled to receive payments hereunder or under the other Loan Documents without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes, (ii) a duly executed United States Internal Revenue Service Form W‑8 BEN or W‑9 or any successor form or any required renewal thereof establishing a full exemption from United States backup withholding tax, and/or (iii) other required form or documentation establishing that a full exemption exists from United States backup withholding tax.
Section 2.9 Increased Costs and Capital Adequacy.
(a) Increased Costs. Borrowers agree to pay Agent additional amounts as Agent or any Lender shall reasonably and in good faith determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrowers absent manifest error) will compensate Lenders for costs incurred in maintaining the Loan or any portion thereof outstanding or for the reduction of any amounts received or receivable as a result of any change after the date hereof in any law, regulation or treaty, or in the interpretation or administration thereof, by any domestic or foreign governmental authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof (whether or not having the force of law), or by any domestic or foreign court, (i) changing the basis of taxation of payments to any Lender (other than taxes imposed on all or any portion of the overall net income of any Lender by the United States or by any political subdivision or taxing authority of the United States), (ii) imposing, modifying or applying any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds for loans by any Lender or (iii) imposing on any Lender any other condition affecting this Loan Agreement, the Note or the Loan Document or the Loan. No Lender shall require Borrowers to pay any amounts under this Section 2.9(a) unless such Lender takes similar action with respect to other similarly situated borrowers with respect to loans where such Lender has a contractual right to do so.
62383226 40
(b) Capital Adequacy. If any Lender shall reasonably and in good faith determine that (i) any change after the date hereof in the general application of any law, rule, regulation or guideline adopted or arising out of (x) the June 2006 report of the Basel Committee on Banking Regulations and Supervisory Practices entitled “Basel II: International Convergence of Capital Measurement and Capital Standards: a Revised Framework - Comprehensive Version,” (y) the reports and supporting documentation of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision commonly referred to as the Basel III accord (“Basel III”) or (z) the rules and regulations promulgated pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (“Dodd-Frank”), in each case together with any amendments thereto, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any domestic or foreign governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, (ii) any generally applicable change after the date hereof in or adoption after the date hereof of any other law, rule, regulation or guideline regarding capital adequacy or (iii) compliance by any Lender, or any lending office of any Lender, or the holding company of any Lender, with any generally applicable request or directive regarding capital adequacy (having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency based on any such change or adoption, has the effect of reducing the rate of return on any Lender’s capital to a level below that which such Lender would have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration the policies of such Lender with respect to capital adequacy), then upon notice from time to time Borrower shall, without duplication of any other amounts paid by Borrower hereunder, pay to Agent such additional amounts as will compensate such Lenders for such actual reduction with respect to any portion of the Loan, if any, outstanding. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.9(b), any change based upon Basel III or Dodd-Frank shall be deemed not to have occurred on or prior to the Closing Date. No Lender shall require Borrowers to pay any amounts under this Section 2.9(b) unless such Lender takes similar action with respect to other similarly situated borrowers with respect to loans where such Lender has a contractual right to do so.
(c) Payment. Any amount payable by Borrowers pursuant to Section 2.9(a) or (b) shall be paid to Agent within ten (10) days of receipt by Borrowers of a notice of Agent setting forth the amount due and Agent’s or a Lender’s reasonable and good faith determination of such amount in reasonable detail, which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrowers absent manifest error. Failure on the part of Agent to demand payment from Borrowers for any such amount attributable to any particular period shall not constitute a waiver of Agent’s right to demand payment of such amount for any subsequent or prior period.
(d) If any Lender (an “Affected Lender”) gives notice to Borrowers of the occurrence of the circumstances described in Section 2.7(b), Section 2.9(a), or Section 2.9(b), Borrowers may, within ninety (90) days of receipt of such notice, give written notice to Agent and to each Lender of Borrowers’ intention to (y) replace the Affected Lender with an Eligible Assignee designated in such notice and otherwise reasonably acceptable to Agent (any such notice, a “Section 2.9 Replacement Notice”), or (z) prepay the entire outstanding principal balance of the Loan, together with any Additional Interest in connection therewith, but, provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and provided further that Borrower shall have used commercially reasonable efforts for a period not less than ninety (90) days to replace the Affected Lender with a
62383226 41
Replacement Lender, without any Spread Maintenance Premium or any other prepayment premium or fee.
(e) If Borrower delivers a Section 2.9 Replacement Notice, then unless the Affected Lender agrees, within ten (10) days of receipt of such Section 2.9 Replacement Notice, to waive the application of Section 2.7(b), Section 2.9(a), or Section 2.9(b) hereof, as applicable, the Affected Lender shall thereafter assign all of its rights and obligations under this Loan Agreement to a financial institution which is an Eligible Assignee (the “Replacement Lender”) and the Replacement Lender shall assume all of the Affected Lender’s rights and obligations under this Loan Agreement, in each case pursuant to an agreement, substantially in the form of an Assignment and Acceptance, executed by the Affected Lender and the Replacement Lender. In connection therewith, the Replacement Lender shall pay to the Affected Lender an amount equal to the Affected Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the outstanding principal amount of the Loan plus all interest accrued thereon, plus all other then accrued and unpaid amounts, if any, allocable to the Affected Lender. Upon the effective date of such Assignment and Acceptance, the Replacement Lender shall become a party to this Loan Agreement and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder and the Affected Lender shall be released from its obligations hereunder, and no further consent or action by any party shall be required. Borrower, Agent and the Lenders shall execute such modifications to the Loan Documents as shall be reasonably required in connection with and to effectuate the foregoing. Any Affected Lender which is replaced as a Lender under this Section 2.9(e) shall remain entitled to the benefits of this Loan Agreement, including, without limitation, this Section 2.9, in respect of the period prior to its replacement.
(f) If Borrower delivers a Section 2.9 Prepayment Notice, then unless the Affected Lender agrees, within ten (10) days of receipt of such Section 2.9 Prepayment Notice, to waive the application of Section 2.7(b), Section 2.9(a), or Section 2.9(b), as applicable, Borrower shall have the right, exercisable within ninety (90) days after the end of such ten (10) day period, to prepay the entire outstanding principal balance of the Loan, together with any Additional Interest, but, provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and provided further that Borrower shall have used commercially reasonable efforts for a period not less than ninety (90) days to replace the Affected Lender with a Replacement Lender, without a Spread Maintenance Premium, it being agreed, however, that Borrower shall have no right to make a prepayment under this Section 2.9(f) whatsoever until the occurrence of the Par Prepayment Date. By way of example and not limitation, if Borrower delivers a Section 2.9 Prepayment Notice on June 1, 2016, the Affected Lender would have until June 10, 2016 to decide whether or not to waive the application of Section 2.7(b), Section 2.9(a), or Section 2.9(b), as applicable, and Borrower would then have until September 1, 2016 to make such a prepayment of the Loan.
(g) Obligation to Mitigate. Each Lender agrees that, within a reasonable period of time after the officer of such Lender having primary responsibility for administering its portion of the Loan becomes aware of the occurrence of an event or the existence of a condition that would entitle such Lender to receive payments or exercise rights under this Section 2.9, such Lender will, to the extent not inconsistent with the internal policies of such Lender and any applicable legal or regulatory restrictions, use reasonable efforts to (i) make, issue, fund or maintain its portion of the Loan through another office of such Lender, or (ii) take such other measures as such Lender may
62383226 42
deem reasonable, if as a result thereof the circumstances which would cause the additional amounts which would otherwise be required to be paid to such Lender, or invoke the rights of such Lender, pursuant to this Section 2.9 to be materially reduced and if, as determined by such Lender in its sole discretion, the making, issuing, funding or maintaining of its portion of the Loan through such other office or in accordance with such other measures, as the case may be, would not otherwise adversely affect such Loan portion or the interests of such Lender; provided, such Lender will not be obligated to utilize such other office pursuant to this Section 2.9(g) unless Borrower agrees to pay all incremental expenses incurred by such Lender as a result of utilizing such other office as described above.
Section 2.10 Fees. Borrowers shall pay to Agent the Upfront Fee and the Administration Fee and in accordance with the terms of the Loan Fee Letter.
Section 2.11 Cash Management and Reserves.
(a) Cash Management Arrangements.
(i) Borrowers Parties shall cause all Gross Revenue to be deposited into the applicable Operating Account promptly after Borrower Parties’ or Manager’s receipt thereof in accordance with the Management Agreements.
(ii) Borrower Parties hereby grant to Agent a security interest in all rights of Borrower Parties in and to each Operating Account and all sums on deposit therein as additional security for the Obligations and at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default, Agent shall have all the rights specified in this Loan Agreement or in the other Loan Documents with respect to the Operating Accounts, subject to the terms and conditions of the Manager SNDA.
(iii) Subject to the Manager SNDA, Manager may make deposits into and receive withdrawals from the Operating Accounts in accordance with Section 7.02 of the Management Agreements (whether or not, so long as the Management Agreement is in full force and effect, an Event of Default shall be continuing). During the continuance of a Cash Sweep Condition, an amount equal to the Cash Collateral Payment Amount shall be deposited by Borrower (or Manager) into the Cash Collateral Account for application in accordance with Section 2.11(f) hereof.
(b) Capital/FF&E Reserve Account.
(i) Funding the Capital/FF&E Reserve Account. In order to further secure the payment and performance of the Obligations, in addition to all other amounts payable under the Loan Documents, on each Payment Date Borrowers shall, or shall cause Manager or Operating Lessees to deposit the Capital/FF&E Reserve Amount for the month prior to the immediately preceding calendar month (i.e., the Capital/FF&E Reserve Amount due and payable on August 1st will be five percent (5%) of Gross Revenues for June) in an interest-bearing account (the “Capital/FF&E Reserve Account”) at a bank or other financial institution acceptable to Agent. All amounts deposited into the Capital/FF&E Reserve
62383226 43
Account by or on account of Borrowers shall be held and applied in accordance with the terms of this Loan Agreement. Subject to the restrictions on disbursements from the Capital/FF&E Reserve Account contained in this Section 2.11(b), any interest on amounts held in the Capital/FF&E Reserve Account shall accrue for the benefit of Borrowers and may be used by Borrower Parties for the payment of Capital/FF&E Expenditures pursuant to Section 2.11(b)(ii) hereof.
(ii) Disbursements Prior to Default. Borrower Parties shall not be permitted to make any withdrawals from the Capital/FF&E Reserve Account without the prior consent of Agent.

If any claim, demand, action or cause of action is asserted against any Indemnitee, such Indemnitee shall promptly notify Borrowers, but the failure to do so shall not affect Borrowers’ obligations under this Section 4.15 unless such failure materially prejudices Borrowers’ right to participate in the contest of such claim, demand, action or cause of action.

If Ground Lessor shall deliver to Agent a copy of any notice of default sent by Ground Lessor to Torrey Pines Borrower, as tenant under the Ground Lease, such notice shall constitute full protection to Agent for any action taken or omitted to be taken by Agent, in good faith, in reliance thereon.

No waiver by Agent of any of its rights or remedies hereunder, in the other Loan Documents, or otherwise available to Agent at law or in equity, shall be considered a waiver of any other or subsequent right or remedy by Agent; no delay or omission in the exercise or enforcement of Agent of any rights or remedies shall ever be construed as a waiver of any right or remedy of Agent; and, no exercise or enforcement of any such rights or remedies shall ever be held to exhaust any right or remedy of Agent.
Section 8.8 Right of Offset. Borrower Parties hereby grant to Agent and each Lender a right of offset, exercisable at any time an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, to secure the repayment of the Obligations, upon any and all monies, securities or other property of Borrower Parties, and the proceeds therefrom, now or hereafter held or received by or in transit to Agent, from or for the account of Borrower Parties, whether for safekeeping, custody, pledge, transmission, collection or otherwise, and also upon any and all deposits (general or special) and credits of Borrower Parties (including the Accounts), and any and all claims of Borrower Parties against Agent at any time existing. At any time upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, in addition to any other rights or remedies of Agent hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, Agent is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, upon notice
62383226 100
to Borrower Parties, to offset, appropriate, apply and enforce said liens at any and all times herein above referred to against the Loan and the remaining Obligations.
Section 8.9 Protective Advances. If any Borrower Party has failed to keep or perform any covenant or obligation whatsoever contained in any Loan Document, in addition to any other rights or remedies of Agent hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, Agent may, but shall not be obligated to any Person to, perform or attempt to perform said covenant or obligation, and any payment made or expense incurred in the performance or attempted performance of any such covenant or obligation shall be a part of the Obligations, and Borrowers shall to pay to Agent, upon demand, all sums so advanced or paid by Agent, together with interest at the Default Rate from the date when paid by Agent. No such payment by Agent shall constitute a waiver of any Event of Default. In addition to the Liens created pursuant to the Loan Documents, Agent shall be subrogated to all rights, titles and Liens securing the payment of any debt, claim, tax or assessment for the payment of which Agent may make an advance or which Agent may pay.
Section 8.10 Interest Rate Protection Agreement. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, in addition to any other rights or remedies of Agent hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, Agent may exercise all rights and remedies of Agent as a secured party with respect to the security interest of Agent or Lenders in any Interest Rate Protection Agreement or which otherwise arise pursuant to the Loan Documents. Without limiting the foregoing, Agent may cause any Lender Interest Rate Protection Agreement to be terminated or otherwise direct Borrowers’ counterparty under any Interest Rate Protection Agreement to take such actions or omit to take such actions as Agent shall determine. Borrowers covenant and agree to reimburse and indemnify Agent and Lenders for any termination or breakage costs Agent or Lenders may incur as a result of any such termination.
Section 8.11 No Liability of Agent. Whether or not Agent or Lenders elect to employ any or all of the remedies pursuant to the Loan Documents or otherwise available at law or equity upon the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default, neither Agent nor any Lender shall be liable with respect to any rights or obligations of any Borrower Party or its Affiliates, shareholders, partners, members, officers, directors or employees, including the rights and obligations of any Borrower Party in and to any Leases or to protect the Properties or for payment of any expense incurred in connection with the exercise of any remedy available to Agent or Lenders or for the performance or non-performance of any other obligation of any Borrower Party.

Section 9.1 Assignment and Participations.
(a) Assignments. Agent and Lenders shall have the right, subject to this Section 9.1, to assign, sell, negotiate, pledge or hypothecate all or any portion of their rights and obligations hereunder. No Lender shall assign, sell, negotiate, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise transfer all or any portion of its rights in and to the Loan (i) to any Prohibited Assignee; (ii) to any other Person (such Person, an “Assignee”) without Agent’s prior consent; (iii) except with respect to an
62383226 101
assignment, sale, pledge or other transfer to an Eligible Assignee and provided that no Event of Default shall be continuing, with the consent of Borrower Parties, not to be unreasonably withheld, it being agreed that Borrower Parties’ failure to consent to an assignment, sale, negotiation, pledge, hypothecation or other transfer to a Sponsor Competitor shall be deemed to be reasonable (for the avoidance of doubt, it is agreed that the consent of Borrower Parties shall not be required for any assignment, sale, pledge or other transfer to an Eligible Assignee or with respect to any assignment, sale, pledge or other transfer during the continuance of an Event of Default); (iv) other than in compliance with Section 9.4 hereof; (v) unless such transaction shall be an assignment of a constant (and not varying), ratable percentage of such Lender’s interest in the Loan; (vi) unless the aggregate principal amount of the Loan to be held by the Assignee after such transaction is Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) or more (or such lesser amount approved by Agent) unless such transaction encompasses all of such Lender’s rights in and to the Loan, in which case such Lender shall have assigned all of its rights in and to the Loan; and (vii) unless, after giving effect to such transaction, such Lender’s aggregate unassigned interest in the Loan shall be in a principal amount of at least Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) (or such lesser amount approved by Agent; provided, however, any Lender shall have the right at any time without the consent of or notice to Agent, any other Lender or other Person to grant a security interest in all or any portion of such Lender’s interest in the Note or the Loan (1) to any Federal Reserve Bank or the central reserve bank or similar authority of any other country to secure any obligation of such Lender to such bank or similar authority (a “Central Bank Pledge”) and/or (2) to the bondholders (as a collective whole) (or their nominee, collateral agent or security trustee) under, or the trustee, administrator or receiver (or their respective nominees, collateral agents or collateral trustees) of a mortgage pool securing covered mortgage bonds issued by a German mortgage bank, or any other Person meeting the Eligibility Requirements and permitted to issue covered mortgage bonds, under German Pfandbrief legislation, as such legislation may be amended and in effect from time to time, or any substitute or successor legislation (a “Covered Bond Pool Pledge”). Effective on any such assignment and assumption by the assignee and on compliance with Section 9.4, the assigning Lender shall have no further liability hereunder with respect to the interest of such Lender that was the subject of such transfer and such Assignee shall be a Lender with respect to such interest. Except for a Central Bank Pledge or a Covered Bond Pool Pledge, a Lender making any such assignment shall notify Borrower Parties of same within a reasonable time after the occurrence thereof, specifying the Assignee thereof and the amount of the assignment. Any assignment, transfer, sale, negotiation, pledge or other hypothecation of all or any portion of any Lender’s rights in and to the Loan in contravention of this Section 9.1(a) shall be void ab initio.
(b) Participation. Any Lender may assign, sell or otherwise transfer a participation in and to all or any portion of its rights and obligations in and to the Loan, this Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents to any other Person (a “Participant”) without the prior consent of Agent. No such participation shall (i) require the consent of any Lender or any other Person. Each Lender agrees to provide Agent prompt notice of all participations sold by such Lender together with a copy of the documentation governing such participations. Any assignment, sale or other transfer of any participation in all or any portion of any Lender’s rights in and to the Loan in contravention of this Section 9.1(b) shall be void ab initio.
62383226 102
Section 9.2 Availability of Records. Borrower Parties acknowledge and agree that Agent and each Lender may provide on a confidential basis to any actual or proposed Assignee or Participant originals or copies of this Loan Agreement, any other Loan Documents and any other documents, instruments, certificates, opinions, insurance policies, financial statements and other information, letters of credit, reports, requisitions and other materials and information at any time submitted by or on behalf of any Borrower Party, Guarantor or other Persons and/or received by Agent or any Lender in connection with the Loan.
Section 9.3 Borrower Parties’ Facilitation of Transfer.
(a) In order to facilitate permitted assignments and other transfers to Assignees and sales to Participants, Borrower Parties shall execute and deliver to Agent one or more substitute promissory notes evidencing the Commitment of each Lender, provided that such promissory notes do not (i) increase the obligations or liabilities of any such Person hereunder or under any other Loan Documents in excess of the obligations or liabilities provided herein or in any other Loan Documents or (ii) decrease such Person’s rights hereunder or under any other Loan Documents to less than what they were prior to the execution of such promissory note(s). In addition, each Borrower Party agrees to reasonably cooperate with Agent and Lenders, including providing such information and documentation regarding the Properties as Agent or any Lender may reasonably request.
(b) Agent shall have the right, at any time (whether prior to, in connection with, or after any permitted assignment, participation and other transfers to Assignees and sales to Participants), with respect to all or any portion of the Loan, to modify, split and/or sever all or any portion of the Loan as hereinafter provided, and Borrowers and Guarantor shall cooperate with Agent in connection therewith. Without limiting the foregoing, Agent may (i) cause the Note, the Mortgages and the other Loan Documents to be split into multiple mortgage loans, (ii) create one or more senior and subordinate notes (e.g., an A/B or A/B/C structure), (iii) create multiple components of the Note or Notes (and allocate or reallocate the principal amount of the Loan among such components and/or assign different interest rates and/or LIBOR and/or Base Rate spreads to each Note), which components may be represented by separate Notes or (iv) otherwise sever the Loan into two or more loans secured by mortgages and by a pledge of partnership or membership interests (directly or indirectly) in each Borrower (i.e., a senior loan/mezzanine loan structure), in each such case, in whatever proportion and whatever priority Agent determines; provided, however, in each such instance the outstanding principal amount of all the Notes evidencing the Loan (or components of such Notes) immediately after the effective date of such modification equals the outstanding principal amount of the Loan immediately prior to such modification and the weighted average of the interest rates for all such Notes (or components of such Notes) immediately after the effective date of such modification equals the overall weighted average LIBOR Rate and Base Rate, as applicable, immediately prior to such modification; provided, further, however, all prepayments or repayments shall be applied to such tranches in a manner that shall not increase the weighted average interest rate of the Loan. If requested by Agent, Borrower Parties shall execute and deliver such documentation as Agent may reasonably request to evidence and/or effectuate any such modification or severance (and Guarantor shall execute and deliver a reaffirmation of the Recourse Liability Agreement and the Environmental Indemnity), provided, however, that neither Borrower
62383226 103
Parties nor Guarantor shall be required to enter into any such documents and amendments that would alter the economic terms of the Loan Documents or that would create new or greater obligations or liabilities on or reduce the rights of Borrowers or Guarantor or any of their Affiliates under the Loan Documents. The assigning Lender shall pay the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs incurred by Borrower Parties and Guarantor under this Section 9.3(b), including without limitation, Borrower Parties’ and Guarantor’s legal fees and expenses.
Section 9.4 Notice; Registration Requirement. No assignment, sale, negotiation, pledge, hypothecation or other transfer of any part of any Lender’s interest in and to the Loan shall be effective or permitted under this Article IX until (a) an assignment and acceptance agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit L (an “Assignment and Acceptance”) with such changes thereto as are reasonably acceptable to Agent (or such other form as may acceptable to Agent) with respect to such assignment, sale, negotiation, pledge, hypothecation or other transfer shall have been delivered to Agent, (b) Agent shall have registered such Assignee’s name and address in the Register that Agent maintains for the recordation of the names, addresses and interests of Lenders and (c) the parties to such transfer, assignment or purchase shall have paid to Agent a processing and registration fee determined by Agent. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. This Section 9.4 shall not apply to any Central Bank Pledge or Covered Bond Pool Pledge.
Section 9.5 Registry. Agent shall maintain a register (the “Register”) on which Agent will record the Commitments from time to time of each Lender, the portion each Disbursement of the Loan made by each Lender and each repayment with respect to the principal amount of the Loan of each Lender. Failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation shall not affect the obligations of the Borrower Parties in respect of the Loan. With respect to any Lender, the transfer of the Commitments of such Lender and the rights to the principal of, and interest on, any Disbursement made pursuant to such Commitments shall not be effective until such transfer is recorded on the Register maintained by Agent with respect to ownership of such Commitments and prior to such recordation all amounts owing to the transferor with respect to such Commitments shall remain owing to the transferor. The registration of a transfer of all or part of any Commitment shall be recorded by Agent on the Register only upon the acceptance by Agent of a properly executed and delivered Assignment and Acceptance by the assignor and assignee. At the assigning Lender’s option, concurrently with the delivery of an Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which an interest of such Lender in the Loan was assigned to such Assignee, the assigning Lender shall surrender its Note evidencing the portion of the Loan corresponding to the interest so transferred and Borrowers shall deliver to Agent one or more new promissory notes in the same aggregate principal amount issued to the assigning Lender and/or the Assignee.
Section 9.6 Lender Interest Rate Protection Agreements. Each Lender that is a party to any Interest Rate Protection Agreement acknowledges that the interest of Borrowers in and to such Interest Rate Protection Agreement will be pledged and collaterally assigned to Agent pursuant to the Loan Documents, and hereby consents without any restrictions to such pledge and collateral assignment. All payments, if any, due under such Interest Rate Protection Agreement shall be paid directly to Agent and all other rights of Borrowers shall, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, be exercisable by Agent. Each Lender that is a party to any Interest Rate Protection Agreement shall execute and deliver to Agent, and cause any Affiliate
62383226 104
of such Lender that is a party to any Interest Rate Protection Agreement to execute and deliver to Agent, upon entering into such agreement the Interest Rate Protection Agreement Acknowledgment in order to confirm the foregoing.
Section 9.7 Disclosure by Agent or Lender. Without limiting Section 9.2, Borrower Parties consent to the issuance by Agent and Lenders of press releases, advertisements and other promotional materials in connection with the marketing activities of Agent and Lenders, including the disclosure that Aareal is the Agent for the Loan, the amount of the Loan and the name, location and use of the Properties; provided that the content of all such release, advertisements and promotional materials shall be subject to the reasonable approval of the Borrower Parties.

Notwithstanding any provision contained herein or in any of the other Loan Documents to the contrary, in the event that Agent shall fail to give any notice to any Borrower Party under this Loan Agreement, the sole and exclusive remedy for such failure shall be to seek appropriate equitable relief to enforce this Loan Agreement to give such notice and to have any action of such Borrower Party postponed or revoked and any proceedings in connection therewith delayed or terminated pending the giving of such notice by Agent, and no Borrower Party shall have any right to damages (whether actual or consequential) or any other type of relief against Agent not specifically provided for herein, all of which damages or other relief are hereby expressly waived. The foregoing is not intended and shall not be deemed under any circumstances to require Agent to give notice of any type or nature to any Borrower Party as expressly required hereby.
Section 10.2 Modifications. No provision of this Loan Agreement or of the other Loan Documents may be amended, modified, waived, or terminated except by an instrument in writing executed by each Borrower Party and Agent.
Section 10.3 No Other Party Beneficiary. This Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents are for the sole benefit of Agent and Lenders and their successors and permitted assigns and Borrower Parties, and are not for the benefit of any other party. Nothing contained in this Loan Agreement or any Loan Document shall be deemed to confer upon any Person other than Agent and Lenders and their successors and permitted assigns and Borrower Parties any right to insist upon or to enforce performance or observance of any of the obligations contained herein.
Section 10.4 Gender. Whenever used herein, the use of any gender shall be applicable to all genders.

62383226 107
Section 10.6 Survival of Agreement. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by Borrower Parties herein or in the other Loan Documents shall be considered to have been relied upon by Agent and Lenders and shall survive the making of the Loan and the execution and delivery by Borrowers of the Note, regardless of any investigation made by Agent or any Lender or on their behalf, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as all or any portion of the Obligations is outstanding.
Section 10.7 Binding Effect. The provisions of this Loan Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, except that Borrower Parties may not assign or otherwise transfer any of their rights under this Loan Agreement.
Section 10.8 Governing Law; Choice of Forum; Consent to Service of Process and Jurisdiction; Waiver of Trial by Jury. This Loan Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the substantive and procedural laws of the State of New York. each Borrower Party irrevocably (a) agrees that any suit, action or other legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Loan Agreement, the Note or the other Loan Documents may be brought in (i) the courts of the United States of America located in the Southern District of New York or the District where the affected Property is located or (ii) the state courts of the State and County of New York or the state courts of the state and county where the affected Property is located, (b) consents to the jurisdiction of each such court in any such suit, action or proceeding and (c) waives any objection which it may have to the laying of venue of any such suit, action or proceeding in any of such courts and any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Each Borrower Party irrevocably consents to the service of any and all process in any such suit, action or proceeding by service of copies of such process to such Borrower Party at its address provided in Section 10.1 hereof, as the same may be changed pursuant to Section 10.1 hereof. Nothing in this Section 10.8, however, shall affect the right of Agent to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law or affect the right of Agent to bring any suit, action or proceeding against any Borrower Party or its property in the courts of any other jurisdiction. EACH BORROWER PARTY, AGENT AND LENDERS HEREBY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN CONNECTION WITH THIS LOAN AGREEMENT, THE NOTE OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, WHICH WAIVER IS INFORMED AND VOLUNTARY.
Section 10.9 Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence with respect to the obligations of Borrower Parties under the Loan Documents. By accepting payment of any portion of the Obligations after its due date, Agent does not waive its right to require prompt payment when due of all other portions of the Obligations or to declare an Event of Default for any failure so to pay.
Section 10.10 Waivers, Consents and Approvals. No failure or delay of Agent in exercising any power or right hereunder or to demand payment for any sums due pursuant to this Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document, shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any
62383226 108
other right or power. The rights and remedies of Agent hereunder, under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which it would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Loan Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or consent to any departure by a Borrower Party or any other Person therefrom shall in any event be effective unless signed in writing by Agent, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Consents, approvals and waivers granted by Agent for any matters covered under this Loan Agreement or any Loan Document shall not be effective unless signed in writing by Agent, and such consents, approvals and waivers shall be narrowly construed to cover only the parties and facts identified in any such consent, approval or waiver. No notice or demand on a Borrower Party or any other Person in any case shall entitle any Borrower Party or such Person to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. Unless expressly provided to the contrary, any consents, approvals, waivers or determinations of Agent or Lenders pursuant to this Loan Agreement or any other Loan Documents shall be granted or withheld in Agent’s or Lenders’ sole and absolute discretion, as the case may be.
Section 10.11 Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Loan Agreement or in any other Loan Document should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect in a particular jurisdiction or as to particular Persons or circumstances, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein or therein (or the effectiveness of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision in a different jurisdiction or as to different Persons or circumstances) shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions. If the rights, remedies, powers, privileges and Liens created by this Loan Agreement shall be invalid or unenforceable as to any part of the Obligations, then the unsecured portion of the Obligations shall be completely paid prior to the payment of the remaining and secured portion of the Obligations, and all payments made on the Obligations shall be considered to have been paid on and applied first to the complete payment of the unsecured portion of the Obligations.
Section 10.12 When Effective. This Loan Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed and delivered by Borrower Parties, Agent and Lenders.
Section 10.13 Payments on Business Days. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein or in the Note, should the principal of or interest on the Note or any other portion of the Obligations become due and payable on other than a Business Day, payment in respect thereof shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in computing interest in connection with the payment.
Section 10.14 Limitation of Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Loan Agreement, the Note or the other Loan Documents, but subject to clauses (a) and (b) of this Section 10.14, no recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal, Interest, Additional Interest, Spread Maintenance Premiums or other amounts owed hereunder or under the Note or the other Loan Documents, or for any claim based on this Loan Agreement, the Note or
62383226 109
any other Loan Document, against any direct or indirect constituent partner, member or shareholder of any Borrower Party or any assets of such partner, member or shareholder, or against any officer, director, agent or employee of any Borrower Party or of any such partner, member or shareholder, it being expressly understood that the sole remedies of Agent and Lenders with respect to such amounts and claims shall be against the assets of Borrowers and the Collateral; provided, however, that:
(a) nothing contained in this Loan Agreement (including the provisions of this Section 10.14), the Note or the other Loan Documents shall constitute a waiver of any of Borrowers’ other obligations hereunder or under the Note or the other Loan Documents, or of any of Operating Lessees’ and/or Guarantors’ obligations under the Loan Documents to which such Operating Lessee or Guarantor is a party; and
(b) nothing contained in this Loan Agreement (including the provisions of this Section 10.14), the Note or the other Loan Documents shall constitute a limitation of liability of Borrowers or Guarantor or any of its respective assets with respect to any liability or obligation of Borrowers and/or Guarantors under the Recourse Liability Agreement or the Environmental Indemnity, including, without limitation the fully recourse obligation to repay the Obligations in full after the occurrence of a Full Recourse Event.
(c) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Loan Agreement, the Recourse Liability Agreement and the Environmental Indemnity, or the other Loan Documents to the contrary, Borrower and/or Guarantor shall have no liability under the Recourse Liability Agreement or the Environmental Indemnity for liabilities arising solely as a result of (i) the exercise of remedies by Lender under the Loan Documents, including any foreclosure or deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, or (ii) any action or omission of Lender, its affiliates, agents or receivers from and after a foreclosure, deed-in-lieu of foreclosure or appointment of a receiver on all or any portion of the Property or Collateral (or any purchaser at foreclosure or any transferee of Lender or such purchaser).
Section 10.15 Further Assurances; Filing of Financing Statements. Borrowers promptly shall make, execute or endorse, and acknowledge and deliver or file or cause the same to be done, all such vouchers, invoices, notices, certifications, additional agreements, undertakings, conveyances, deeds of trust, mortgages, transfers, assignments, financing statements or other assurances, and take all such other action, as Agent may, from time to time, reasonably deem necessary or proper in connection with this Loan Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, the obligations of Borrowers hereunder or thereunder, or for better assuring and confirming unto Agent and Lenders the full benefits and rights granted or purported to be granted by this Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents. Borrower Parties hereby agree that, without notice to or the consent of Borrower Parties, Agent may file with the appropriate public officials such financing statements or similar documents as are or may become necessary to perfect and continue the perfection of the security interest granted by any Loan Document.
Section 10.16 Third Party Payments. Whenever this Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document requires that amounts payable by a third party be paid directly to Agent or Lenders, Agent may enforce such right with a preliminary injunction, a temporary restraining order or other
62383226 110
injunctive relief. Borrowers agree that irreparable harm may result if such payments are not made directly to Agent, or if otherwise provided or agreed to, to Agent.
Section 10.17 Controlling Document. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Loan Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents, the provision of this Loan Agreement, shall control.
Section 10.18 No Acknowledgement or Representation by Agent or any Lender. Agent’s concurrence with any request or the making of any advance hereunder shall not be deemed to constitute an acknowledgement or a representation by Agent or any Lender that no Default, Event of Default or Cash Sweep Condition shall have occurred or shall be continuing, or a waiver of any Default, Event of Default or Cash Sweep Condition, or any right or remedy relating therefrom.
Section 10.19 Entire Agreement. The Loan Documents embody the entire agreement between the parties and supersede all prior agreements and understandings.
Section 10.20 Counterparts. This Loan Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which when taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.
Section 10.21 Cross Default; Cross Collateralization. Each Borrower Party acknowledges that Lender has made the Loan to Borrowers 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 the Properties taken separately. Each Borrower Parties agrees that the Mortgages are and will be cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with each other so that (i) an Event of Default under any of the Mortgages shall constitute an Event of Default under each of the other Mortgages which secure the Note; (ii) an Event of Default under the Note or this Loan Agreement shall constitute an Event of Default under each Mortgage; and (iii) each Mortgage shall constitute security for the Note as if a single blanket lien were placed on all of the Properties as security for the Note.
Section 10.22 Joint and Several Liability. Each of the Borrowers shall be jointly and severally liable for payment of the Obligations and performance of all other obligations of Borrowers (or any of them) under this Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document.
Section 10.23 Contribution Among Borrowers. Notwithstanding that the Borrowers are jointly and severally liable to Lender for payment of the Loan, as among the Borrowers, each shall be liable only for such Borrower’s Allocated Amount (as hereinafter defined) and, accordingly, each Borrower whose Property or other assets are, from time to time, utilized to satisfy a portion of the Obligations in excess of such Borrower’s Allocated Loan Amount, shall be entitled, commencing 95 days after payment in full of the Obligations, to contribution from each of the other Borrowers pro-rata in accordance with their respective liabilities in accordance with this Loan Agreement. This “Allocated Amount” for each Borrower shall equal the Allocated Loan Amount for the Property owned or leased by such Borrower, as the case may be.
62383226 111
Section 10.24 Employer Identification Number Etc.

AGENT AND LENDERS
AGENT AND LENDERS
Section 11.1 Scope of Article XI. This Article XI shall be binding on Agent and Lenders but shall not be binding on or enforceable by Borrower Parties except as otherwise expressly provided in this Article XI. As among Agent and Lenders, the provisions of this Article XI may be amended, waived or otherwise modified by Agent and Lenders without Borrower Parties’ consent and without the need for any Borrower Party to be party to any of the same. Without limiting the foregoing, nothing contained in this Article XI or any amendments, waivers or modifications thereof by Agent and Lenders, shall limit or modify the rights and obligations of, and restrictions applicable to, Borrower Parties, Agent or Lenders set forth in any other provision of this Loan Agreement or in the other Loan Documents, except as among Agent and Lenders.
Section 11.2 Agent.
(a) Appointment. Each Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints Agent as the agent of such Lender with respect to the Loan and to act as “Agent” under the Loan Documents. Each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes Agent, as its agent, to take such action and to exercise such powers on such Lender’s behalf as may be taken by Agent under any Loan Document, including as a payee, mortgagee, assignee or beneficiary or otherwise, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Nothing contained in this Loan Agreement, any Assignment and Acceptance or in any other Loan Document is intended to create or shall be construed as imposing on Agent any obligations except as expressly set forth in this Loan Agreement or in any other Loan Document. Agent shall not have any fiduciary or trustee relationship with Lenders.
(b) Duties of Agent. Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Loan Agreement and in the other Loan Documents; no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities of Agent shall be construed to exist under this Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document. Agent shall perform its duties hereunder in accordance with the same standard of care as that customarily exercised by Agent with respect to the administration of a loan similar to the Loan held entirely for its own account. Agent shall not have any duty to ascertain or inquire into or verify the performance or observance of any covenants or agreements in any Loan Documents by Borrower Parties or any other Person or the satisfaction
62383226 112
of any condition or to inspect the Properties. Agent shall not be liable for any undertaking of Borrower Parties or any other Person or for any error of judgment, or for any action taken or omitted to be taken by Agent other than willful misconduct or gross negligence of Agent.
(c) Reliance by Agent. Agent is entitled to rely upon (and shall be protected in relying upon) any written or oral statement and notices or any other certification or documents believed by Agent to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or made by the proper Person and, with respect to all of its duties under the Loan Documents, upon advice of counsel (including counsel for Borrower Parties and Guarantor), independent public accountants, engineers, architects and other experts selected by Agent and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by Agent in good faith in accordance with the advice of such counsel, independent public accountants, engineers, architects and other experts.
(d) Delegation of Duties. Agent may execute any of its duties under this Loan Agreement and any duties as Agent or as a party, payee, mortgagee, assignee or beneficiary under any Loan Document, by or through agents, servicers, affiliates or attorneys-in-fact. Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents, affiliates or attorneys-in-fact selected by Agent with reasonable care and prudence.
(e) Agent in its Capacity as a Lender. With respect to Aareal’s ownership interest in the Loan as a Lender, Aareal in its capacity as Lender shall have the rights and powers of a Lender under this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents as set forth herein and therein and may exercise or refrain from exercising the same as though it were not Agent, and the term “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include Aareal in its individual capacity for so long as Aareal shall hold any interest in the Loan.
(f) Relationship with Borrower Parties.
(xii) Each Lender acknowledges that, with respect to the Loan and the Loan Documents, Agent shall have the sole and exclusive authority to deal and communicate with Borrower Parties and any other Person on behalf of Lenders and each Lender acknowledges that any notices or demands from such Lender to Borrower Parties or such Person must be promptly forwarded to Agent for delivery. This subclause (i) may not be amended without the consent of Borrower Parties.
(xiii) Each Lender agrees that it will not take any legal action, nor institute any actions or proceedings, against any Borrower Party or any other Person with respect to any of the Obligations, without the prior consent of Agent, which consent may be withheld by Agent in its discretion.
Section 11.3 Distributions. Each Lender shall be entitled to receive, and Agent shall transfer to each Lender, each Lender’s Pro Rata Share of all payments received by Agent pursuant to the Loan Documents on account of principal, interest and other sums, excluding, however, (a) any sums payable to Agent or any Lender in a manner other than in proportion to each Lender’s Pro Rata Share in connection with any Lender Interest Rate Protection Agreement or pursuant to Section 2.7, 2.8 or 2.9 hereof, without regard as to whether such sums constitute
62383226 113
Additional Interest, (b) fees payable pursuant to the Loan Fee Letter and (c) any sums payable to Agent in its capacity as Agent, including any sums payable on account of expenses incurred by Agent which Borrower Parties are obligated to reimburse Agent pursuant to the Loan Documents to the extent that Lenders have not made a payment on account thereof pursuant to Section 11.9 hereof (the sums referred to in clauses (a) through (c) above are hereinafter referred to as, “Excluded Sums”).
Section 11.4 Authority, No Reliance; Binding Effect. Each Lender (a) represents and warrants that it is legally authorized to enter into this Loan Agreement, (b) agrees that neither Agent nor any Lender shall be responsible to one another for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or collectability of any of the Loan Documents or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto or in connection with the Obligations, (c) confirms and agrees that neither Agent nor any Lender has made or will be deemed to have made any warranty or representation to another or shall be responsible to another for any statements, warranties or representations (written or otherwise) made in or in connection with the Loan or the Loan Documents or for the financial condition of Borrower Parties or any other Person or for the title or the value of any portion of the Mortgaged Property or other Collateral and (d) agrees that it will be bound by the provisions of this Loan Agreement and will perform in accordance with its terms all the obligations which by the terms of this Loan Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Loan Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking any action under this Loan Agreement.
Section 11.5 Loan.
(o) Amendments and Modifications; Exercise of Rights and Remedies. Subject to Section 11.5 (b) hereof, Agent reserves the right, in its discretion, in each instance without prior notice to Lenders, (i) to exercise or refrain from exercising any powers or rights which Agent or Lenders may have under or with respect to the Note, this Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) to enforce or forbear from enforcing the Loan Documents, (iii) to grant or withhold consents, approvals or waivers and to make any other determinations in connection with the Loan and the Loan Documents, (iv) to amend or modify the Loan Documents, (v) to acquire additional security or release any security given with respect to the Loan, (vi) to collect all sums due under the Loan Documents, (vii) to declare the Loan due and payable when permitted to do so pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents, (viii) to enforce the Loan Documents, (ix) to take possession of, foreclose or accept a deed and/or assignment of the Collateral or any portion thereof in lieu of foreclosure, (x) to sell, dispose of or otherwise deal with the ownership and operation of the Collateral, (xi) to bid at foreclosure of the Mortgages such amount as Agent shall determine in its discretion and (xii) to exercise or determine not to exercise all powers which are incidental to any of the foregoing. Agent shall provide Lenders with written notice of any actions taken by Agent with respect to the foregoing within five (5) days after the occurrence thereof. Notwithstanding
62383226 114
anything to the contrary contained in this Loan Agreement, any modification or supplement of Article XI, or of any of the rights or duties of the Agent hereunder, shall require the consent of the Agent.
(p) Restrictions of Power of Agent; Consent of Lenders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 11.5(a) or elsewhere in this Loan Agreement, Agent shall not (x) without the prior written consent of all Lenders, consent to any Transfer (where consent is required) or agree to any amendment to or waiver of any of the terms or conditions of the Note, this Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document which would (i) modify the definition of “Permitted Transfer” (or waive any conditions thereto), (ii) amend the definition of “Requisite Lenders” or amend this Section 11.5(b), (iii) extend the time for any payments required under this Loan Agreement, including the Maturity Date (other than as a result of an extension of the Term pursuant to Section 2.15), (iv) reduce amounts payable to any Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents, (v) increase the principal amount of the Loan, (vi) release any material portion of the Collateral granted under the Loan Documents except as required hereunder or thereunder, or (vii) release Borrower Parties, Guarantor or any other guarantor of the Loan from any of their material obligations with respect to the Loan or (y) without the consent of the Requisite Lenders either (i) agree to any other material amendment to or material waiver of any of the terms or conditions of the Note, this Loan Agreement or any other Loan Documents, (ii) declare the Loan due and payable, (iii) take possession of, foreclose or accept a deed and/or assignment of the Collateral or any portion thereof in lieu of foreclosure, (iv) sell or dispose of the Collateral or (v) bid at any foreclosure of the Mortgage.
(q) Deemed Consent. In the event that Agent requests a Lender’s consent pursuant to Section 11.5(b) hereof and Agent does not receive the Lender’s written response within ten (10) Business Days of the request therefor, or such shorter period that Agent in the exercise of its reasonable business judgment determines is necessary under the circumstances, such Lender shall be deemed to have consented to the action or determination proposed in such request. All such requests for consent from Agent to Lenders shall (i) be given in the form of a notice to each Lender, (ii) be accompanied by a description of the matter or item as to which such consent is requested, or shall advise each Lender where such matter or item may be inspected, or shall otherwise describe the matter or issue to be resolved and (iii) shall include Agent’s proposal in respect thereof.
(r) Instructions from Lenders. Agent may at any time request instructions from Lenders with respect to any actions, consents, waivers or approvals which, by the terms of any of the Loan Documents, Agent is permitted or required to take or to grant, and Agent shall be absolutely entitled to refrain from taking any action or to withhold any approval, consent or waiver and shall not be under any liability whatsoever to any Person for refraining from any action or withholding any approval, consent or waiver under any of the Loan Documents until Agent shall have received such instructions.
Section 11.6 Equitable Adjustments; Offset. If a Lender shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary or otherwise) on account of such Lender’s interest in the Loan in excess of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share to which such Lender is entitled (other than payments on account of Excluded Sums payable to such Lender) or payment on account of Excluded Sums
62383226 115
payable to another Person, such Lender shall forthwith pay over to Agent an amount sufficient to enable Agent to cause such excess payment to be shared ratably with the other Lenders or, in the case of Excluded Sums payable to another Person, such Excluded Sums.
Section 11.7 Other Transactions. Agent and each Lender and their respective Affiliates and subsidiaries may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of, and generally engage in any kind of business with, Borrower Parties, any Affiliate of any Borrower Party, any subsidiaries of any Borrower Party or its respective Affiliates and any Person who may do business with or own interests in or securities of Borrower Parties or any such Affiliate or subsidiary without any duty to account therefor to each other. In the event that Agent or a Lender shall enter into an Interest Rate Protection Agreement, Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, shall be free to exercise its rights and remedies pursuant to the terms of the applicable Interest Rate Protection Agreement as if Agent or Lender, as the case may be, was not Agent or a Lender hereunder.
Section 11.8 Obligations Absolute Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligations hereunder are absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any breach by Agent or a Lender of their obligations under this Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document, any lack of validity or enforceability of the Note, this Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document, the occurrence and continuance of any Default or Event of Default or the failure to satisfy any term or condition of the Note, this Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document. Without limiting the generality of the immediately preceding sentence, each Lender agrees that any payment required to be made by it shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever and a breach by Agent or any Lender of any of their obligations pursuant to this Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document shall not limit or otherwise affect a Lender’s obligations pursuant to this Loan Agreement.
Section 11.9 Indemnification.
(a) Generally. Lenders hereby agree to indemnify Agent (to the extent Agent is not otherwise reimbursed hereunder or under the Loan Documents by Borrower Parties), on demand, in proportion to their Pro Rata Shares, for and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against Agent in any way relating to or arising hereunder or out of any of the Loan Documents, any action taken or omitted by Agent hereunder or thereunder, the Properties or the Collateral, including any matter required to be indemnified by Borrower Parties pursuant to Section 4.15 hereof; provided, however, that Lenders shall not be liable for (a) any of such claims, demands, liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements to the extent resulting from Agent’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or (b) any of such claims, demands, liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements which arise pursuant to any Lender Interest Rate Protection Agreement to which Agent or its Affiliate is party. A certificate of Agent as to the amount for which Lenders are required to reimburse Agent pursuant to this Section 11.9 shall be prima facie evidence as to such amount. Lenders’ obligations under this Section 11.9 shall survive the termination of this Loan Agreement and the Loan Documents. Without limiting the
62383226 116
foregoing, in the event Agent elects to make a protective advance, each Lender shall fund its Pro Rata Share thereof. If Agent advances its own funds for any protective advance, each Lender shall upon Agent’s demand reimburse Agent for same in the amount of its Pro Rata Share thereof.
(b) Indemnification Regarding Certain Actions. Unless indemnified to Agent’s satisfaction against any claims, demands, liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel), Agent may not be compelled to do any act under this Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document or to take any action toward the execution or enforcement of the powers hereby or thereby created or to prosecute or defend any suit with respect to this Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document. In no event, however, shall Agent be required to take any action that Agent determines would be in violation of any applicable regulatory requirements, or could incur for Agent criminal or onerous civil liability.
Section 11.10 Taxes. All taxes due and payable on any payments to be made to any Lender with respect to the Obligations or under the Loan Documents shall be such Lender’s sole responsibility. All payments payable by Agent to any Lender hereunder or otherwise with respect to the Obligations shall be made without deduction for any taxes, charges, levies or withholdings, except to the extent, if any, that such amounts are required to be withheld by Agent under applicable law or the terms of the Loan Documents or this Loan Agreement. Each Lender shall provide to Agent and Borrowers before the first Payment Date after the execution of any Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which it becomes a Lender hereunder, and from time to time thereafter, including upon a change in circumstances and upon the expiration of a previously delivered form, a completed and signed copy of any form(s) (including Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8 BEN, W-8 ECI and/or W-9) that may be required by the United States Internal Revenue Service in order to certify such Lender’s and/or Agent’s exemption from United States withholding and backup withholding taxes with respect to payments to be made to such Lender with respect to the Obligations or under the Loan Documents and/or such other documents as are necessary to indicate that all such payments are exempt from such taxes (or subject to such taxes at a rate reduced by an applicable tax treaty, in which case Agent and/or Borrowers, as applicable, shall withhold Taxes to the extent required by law and, to the extent such Taxes are Excluded Taxes, shall not be required to pay any additional amounts to such Lender by reason of such withholding).
Section 11.11 Return of Payments. If Agent has received or applied any payment with respect to the Loan and has paid to any Lender any portion of such payment, and thereafter such payment or application is rescinded or must otherwise be returned or paid over by Agent, whether required pursuant to any bankruptcy or insolvency law, the Loan Documents, or otherwise, such Lender shall, at Agent’s request, promptly return its share of such payment or application to Agent. In addition, such Lender shall simultaneously remit its Pro Rata Share of any interest or other amounts required to be paid by Agent with respect to such payment or application. If any Lender fails to remit such payment to Agent prior to 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the second (2nd) Business Day following Agent’s request for such funds, the payment owed to Agent shall earn interest at the Base Rate for each day from the date of Agent’s request until its payment to Agent.
62383226 117
Section 11.12 No Partnership. This Loan Agreement, the Assignment and Acceptances and the other Loan Documents do not create a partnership or joint venture among Agent and/or Lenders.
Section 11.13 Resignation and Removal of Agent; Successor Agent.
(d) Resignation. Agent may resign, without the consent of any Lender, from the performance of all its functions and duties hereunder at any time by giving at least fifteen (15) Business Days’ prior written notice to Borrower Parties and Lenders, unless applicable law requires a shorter notice period or that there be no notice period, in which instance such applicable law shall control. Such resignation shall take effect upon the acceptance by a successor Agent of appointment pursuant to Section 11.13(c) or, if applicable, the appointment by Agent of a successor Agent pursuant to Section 11.13(d).
(e) Removal of Agent. (i) In the event of the occurrence of any material gross negligence or willful misconduct of Agent, if all of the Lenders (other than a Lender that is then acting as Agent) agree or (ii) if Agent is a Defaulting Lender and the Requisite Lenders agree, then Agent may be removed as Agent; provided, however, that no such removal of Agent shall in any way affect the rights of Agent in its individual capacity as a Lender.
(f) Appointment of Successor Agent by Requisite Lenders. Upon any resignation or removal of Agent, the Requisite Lenders (including in the determination of the Requisite Lenders, the Pro Rata Shares of such Lender that is also the resigning or removed Agent) shall appoint a successor Agent (who shall also be a Lender).
(g) Appointment by Resigning Agent. If, upon the resignation of Agent, a successor Agent shall not have been appointed within the fifteen (15) Business Days or shorter period provided in Section 11.13(a), the resigning Agent shall then appoint a successor Agent (who also shall be a Lender), which successor shall serve as Agent until such time, if any, as the Requisite Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided above.
(h) Rights of the Successor and Retiring Agent. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, or, if applicable, the appointment of a successor Agent by Agent pursuant to Section 11.13(d), such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent arising from and after the date of such acceptance and appointment, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from the duties and obligations of Agent arising from and after such date. After the resignation or removal of Agent as provided herein, the provisions of this Loan Agreement shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Loan Agreement.
Section 11.14 Defaults by any Lender.
(e) Consequences of Lender’s Default. If for any reason any Lender shall be in default of any of its obligations pursuant to this Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document (a “Defaulting Lender”), then, in addition to the rights and remedies that may be available to Agent
62383226 118
and any other Lender under this Loan Agreement, at law and in equity, such Defaulting Lender’s right to participate as a Lender in decisions under this Loan Agreement, including any rights to approve or direct any determination, action or inaction of Agent where the approval or direction of Lenders is required or permitted hereby, and such Defaulting Lender’s right to assign, transfer, sell all or any portion of its rights in and to the Loan or a participation therein pursuant to Article IX hereof, shall be suspended during the pendency of such failure or refusal.
(f) Remedies. If for any reason the Defaulting Lender fails to make timely payment of any amount required to be paid by such Defaulting Lender to or for the benefit of Agent or any other Lender hereunder, then, in addition to other rights and remedies that Agent or such other Lender may have hereunder or otherwise, Agent or any Lender shall be entitled, but not obligated (i) to advance funds on behalf of any Defaulting Lender, (ii) to the extent not paid by Borrower Parties, to collect interest from the Defaulting Lender at the Base Rate until the date on which the payment is made, (iii) to withhold or set off or in the case of a Lender, to cause Agent to withhold or setoff, and to apply to the payment of the defaulted amount and any related interest, any amounts to be paid to the Defaulting Lender under this Loan Agreement, (iv) to bring an action or suit against the Defaulting Lender in a court of competent jurisdiction to recover the defaulted amount and any related interest and (v) to purchase the Defaulting Lender’s interest in the Loan in the manner set forth in this Section 11.14. Upon the Defaulting Lender’s failure to make payments as set forth herein and so long as such failure remains uncured (and it is agreed an advance of funds by any other Lender pursuant to clause (i) above shall not be considered a cure of the Defaulting Lender’s default), the Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to receive its share of any payments made by Borrower Parties (or amounts owed by Borrower Parties) after such date pursuant to the Loan Documents. If Agent receives any payment with respect to the Obligations from Borrower Parties as to which a Defaulting Lender would otherwise have been entitled, then such Defaulting Lender’s share of such payment shall be credited toward the amount owed hereunder by such Defaulting Lender on a dollar for dollar basis.
(g) Purchase of Defaulting Lender’s Interest After Default. In the event of a default by a Lender as referred to in Section 11.14 (a) hereof, each Lender which is not a Defaulting Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, in its sole discretion, to acquire such Defaulting Lender’s interest in the Loan. If more than one Lender exercises such right, each such Lender which is not a Defaulting Lender shall have the right to acquire (in accordance with such acquiring Lender’s Pro Rata Share or upon agreement of the Lenders which desire to so purchase the Defaulting Lender’s interest, any other proportion) the Defaulting Lender’s interest in the Loan. Such right to purchase shall be exercised by written notice from the applicable Lender(s) electing to exercise such right to the Defaulting Lender (an “Exercise Notice”), copies of which shall also be sent concurrently to each other Lender. The Exercise Notice shall specify (i) the purchase price for the interest of the Defaulting Lender, determined in accordance with Section 11.14(d) and (ii) the date on which such purchase is to occur, which shall be any Business Day which is not less than fifteen (15) days after the date on which the Exercise Notice is given, provided that if such Defaulting Lender shall have cured its default in full (including with the payment of any interest and other amounts due in connection therewith) to the satisfaction of Agent within said fifteen (15) day period, then the Exercise Notice shall be of no further effect and the non-defaulting Lender(s) shall no longer have a right to purchase such Defaulting Lender’s interest. Upon any such purchase of a Defaulting
62383226 119
Lender’s interest and as of the date of such purchase (the “Purchase Date”), the Defaulting Lender’s interest in the Loan, and its rights hereunder as a Lender arising from and after the Purchase Date (but not its rights and liabilities with respect thereto or under this Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents for obligations, indemnities and other matters arising or matters occurring before the Purchase Date) shall terminate on the Purchase Date, and the Defaulting Lender shall promptly execute all documents reasonably requested to surrender and transfer such interest. Without in any manner limiting the remedies of Agent or any other Lender, the obligation of a Defaulting Lender to sell and assign its interest in the Loan under this Section 11.14 shall be specifically enforceable by Agent and/or any other Lender by an action brought in any court of competent jurisdiction for such purpose, it being acknowledged and agreed that, in light of the disruption in the administration of the Loan and the other terms of the Loan Documents that a Defaulting Lender may cause, damages and other remedies at law are not adequate.
(h) Purchase Price; Payment for Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share. The purchase price for the interest of a Defaulting Lender in the Loan shall be equal to the sum of all of the Defaulting Lender’s advances under the Loan Documents outstanding as of the Purchase Date, less the costs and expenses incurred by Agent and any non-defaulting Lender directly as a result of the Defaulting Lender’s default hereunder, including interest accrued on such unpaid amounts (at the Base Rate), court costs and including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, and fees for accountants and other similar advisors (provided that such costs and expenses are paid by the Lenders acquiring the interest of such Defaulting Lender to Agent and the Lenders incurring same).
Section 11.15 Enforcement Action Plan.
(d) Promptly after Agent acquires knowledge (as defined below) thereof, Agent shall give written notice to each Lender of any Event of Default which in Agent’s reasonable judgment materially and adversely affects any of the Lenders’ interests in the Loan or the value of the Properties. If Agent determines that remedial action should not be taken, it shall so advise the Lenders, setting forth Agent’s reasons therefor. Otherwise Agent shall prepare a recommended course of remedial action (other than the giving of notices of default and demands for performance) (the “Enforcement Action Plan”), which shall be subject to the approval of the Requisite Lenders to the extent provided in Section 11.5(b) of this Loan Agreement. Agent agrees to consult with Lenders in respect of and shall act substantially in accordance with the decision of the Requisite Lenders (and shall be fully protected by all Lenders in so acting), subject, however, to Section 11.9(b) of this Loan Agreement, and provided that Agent shall not be obligated to take any action which Agent determines is not consistent with the Loan Documents or is not in accordance with applicable law, or exercise any remedy unless Agent determines that the underlying Event of Default permits the exercise of such remedy in accordance with applicable law and the Loan Documents and that exercising any such remedy at such time would not preclude it from thereafter commencing and prosecuting a foreclosure of the Mortgage. As used in this Section 11.15 of this Loan Agreement, the term “knowledge” shall mean the actual knowledge of the officer of Agent then primarily responsible for the administration of the Loan. The provisions of Section 11.5(c) of this Loan Agreement shall apply to each Lender’s consent to any Enforcement Action Plan proposed by Agent.
62383226 120
(e) If the Requisite Lenders have not agreed on a proposed course of action by the end of ninety (90) days after the occurrence of the Maturity Date or the acceleration of the Loan, as applicable, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 11.5(b), Agent shall commence to foreclose on, or otherwise realize on, the Collateral and otherwise exercise such other remedies as Agent determines.

Exhibit E
Insurance Policies
With respect to each Property,
(a) Property insurance against loss customarily included under standard “all-risk” policies or special causes of loss insurance policies, as is available in the insurance market as of the closing date, including flood, earthquake, terrorism, vandalism and malicious mischief, boiler and machinery and such other insurable hazards as, under good insurance practices, from time to time are insured against for other properties and buildings meeting Comparable Standards and which are otherwise similar to such Property in nature, use, location, height and type of construction. Such insurance policy also shall insure the additional expense of demolition and increased cost of construction due to the enforcement of any law regulating reconstruction at the time of rebuilding following a loss, in an amount acceptable to Agent. The amount of such “all risk” or special causes of loss insurance shall be not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the replacement cost value of the Improvements. (The perils of earthquake and flood shall have sublimits acceptable to Agent). If any portion of the Improvements is currently or at any time in the future located in a federally designated “special flood hazard area,” flood hazard insurance in an amount equal to the full replacement cost of the Improvements or such lesser amount as Agent may approve. The earthquake insurance provided shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent and in the event the applicable Property is located in an area with a high degree of seismic activity in an amount equal to the amount derived from a “SUL(Scenario Upper Loss)” seismic engineering study, plus an additional 20% and having a deductible in an amount not greater than five (5%) percent of the total insured value of the Improvements. The named windstorm insurance provided, if the Improvements are located in a Tier 1 designated area and if not covered in the “Special Perils” policy required hereunder, shall be in form and substance satisfactory to Agent, in an amount of not less than the full replacement cost of the Improvements. The named windstorm coverage shall be provided with deductibles as are customary in the market for insurance of similar properties. In no event shall the deductible for any peril required herein shall be greater than five percent (5%) of the location insurable values; Agent reserves the right to require coverage for flood and earth movement irrespective of the locations designation in a high hazard zone for such perils. Each such insurance policy shall contain an agreed-amount replacement cost endorsement. In the event local building code prevents the Improvements from being replaced to the same state as they were prior to a loss, and if such action causes the Borrower to suffer a diminution in the value of the Improvements, then Borrower shall be required to purchase insurance to cover said diminution in value. Such policy shall be purchased in an amount acceptable to Agent, and name Agent as mortgagee;
(b) rent loss and/or business interruption insurance on an actual loss sustained basis as an extension to coverage required by paragraphs (a) and (c) of this Exhibit E in an amount not less than one year’s rental income or business interruption value and including
E - 1
61046467.DOC
a 365-day extended period of indemnity following restoration of the Improvements to restore operation of the affected Property to levels that existed prior to such loss;
(c) comprehensive boiler and machinery insurance covering all mechanical and electrical equipment against physical damage, rent loss and improvements loss and covering, without limitation, all tenant improvements and betterments which Borrower is required to insure pursuant to any Lease on a replacement cost basis. The minimum amount of limits to be provided shall be $50,000,000 per accident;
(d) commercial general liability insurance, including public liability insurance, on owned (if any), hired and non-owned auto liability and excess liability coverage for personal injury, bodily injury, death, accident and property damage, with limits no less than $75,000,000 per occurrence ($150,000,000 during construction, if the cost of such construction exceeds $50,000,000) and $75,000,000 in the annual aggregate per location. If any liability insurance also covers other locations with a shared aggregate limit, then the minimum liability insurance shall be increased to $100,000,000. The policies described in this paragraph (d) shall cover, without limitation, elevators, escalators, independent contractors, contractual liability covering to the maximum extent permitted by law, Borrower’s obligations to indemnify Agent as required pursuant to this Agreement, products and completed operations liability coverage, wrongful entry or evicting, invasion of privacy, products and completed operations liability, and false arrest and imprisonment;
(e) during any period of repair or restoration, builder’s “all-risk” insurance in an amount equal to not less than the full insurable value of the Improvements against such risks (including standard “all risk” perils coverage and collapse of the Improvements to agreed limits as Agent may request, each in form and substance acceptable to Agent);
(f) workers’ compensation and disability insurance as required by law;
(g) special hotel insurance, including coverage for products liability; liquor liability; garagekeepers liability; innkeepers liability (which includes safe deposit box liability) and crime insurance, all in amounts satisfactory to Agent;
(h) intentionally omitted; and
(i) such other types and amounts of insurance with respect to the each Property and the operation thereof which are commonly maintained in the case of other properties and building meeting Comparable Standards and which are otherwise similar to such Property in nature, use, location, height and type of construction, as may be required from time to time by Agent.
All such insurance policies shall name Agent as mortgagee, additional insured and loss payee, either on a specific standard mortgagee endorsement or under a blanket endorsement satisfactory to Agent.
