2.2.1 Generally. From and after the date hereof, interest on the unpaid Principal shall accrue at the Interest Rate and be payable as hereinafter provided. On the date hereof, Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid Principal from the date hereof through and including the last day of the first Interest Period. On the First Payment Date and each Monthly Payment Due Date thereafter to but excluding the Maturity Date, Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid Principal which has accrued through and including the last day of the Interest Period immediately preceding such Monthly Payment Due Date. All accrued and unpaid interest shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date.

2.2.2 Default Rate. After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the entire unpaid Debt shall bear interest at the Default Rate, and shall be payable upon demand from time to time, to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements.
2.2.3 Taxes.
(a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of Borrower under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable Legal Requirements. If any applicable Legal Requirements (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) require the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount
deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) Administrative Agent or the applicable Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.
(b) Payment of Other Taxes by Borrower. Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements, or at the option of Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.
(c) Indemnification by Borrower. Borrower shall indemnify Administrative Agent and each Lender, within ten (10) days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by Administrative Agent or such Lender or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to Administrative Agent or such Lender and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to Administrative Agent), or by Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(d) Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify Administrative Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that Borrower has not already indemnified Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 11.20.2(c) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to Administrative Agent under this paragraph (d).
(e) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.2.3, Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting
such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent.
(f) Status of Lenders.
(i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Legal Requirements or reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent as will enable Borrower or Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.2.3(f)(ii)(1), (ii)(2) and (ii)(3) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.
(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that Borrower is a U.S. Borrower,
(1) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower or Administrative Agent), executed copies of Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;
(2) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or about the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

d. to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of Form W-8IMY, accompanied by Form W-8ECI, Form W-8BEN, Form W 8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit A-2 or Exhibit A-3, Form W-9, or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit A-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;
(3) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or about the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by Applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by Applicable Law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and
(4) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by Applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine

Except during the continuance of an Event of Default, all proceeds of any repayment, including any prepayments of the Loan, shall be applied by Administrative Agent as follows in the following order of priority: First, to any fees, costs, expenses, and other amounts then due and owing under the Loan Documents; Second, accrued and unpaid interest at the Interest Rate; and Third, on a pari passu basis, to Principal and to any amounts due under the Secured Swap Agreement. During the continuance of an Event of Default, all proceeds of repayment, including any payment or recovery on the Property (whether through foreclosure, deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, or otherwise) shall, unless otherwise provided in the Loan Documents, be applied in such order and in such manner as Administrative Agent shall elect in Administrative Agent’s discretion.
2.3.2 Mandatory Prepayments. The Loan is subject to mandatory prepayment in certain instances of Insured Casualty or Condemnation (each a “Casualty/Condemnation Prepayment”), in the manner and to the extent set forth in Section 7.4.2. Each Casualty/Condemnation Prepayment, after deducting Administrative Agent and any Lender’s costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) in connection with the settlement or collection of the Proceeds or Award, shall be applied in the same manner as repayments under Section 2.3.1, and if such Casualty/Condemnation Prepayment is made on any date other than a Monthly Payment Due Date, then such Casualty/Condemnation Prepayment shall include interest accrued to and through the date of repayment, however, if a Secured Swap Agreement is in effect, such Casualty/Condemnation Prepayment shall include interest that would have accrued on the Principal prepaid to but not including the next Monthly Payment Due Date. Unless expressly agreed to by Administrative Agent and Borrower in writing, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, each Casualty/Condemnation Prepayment shall be applied in inverse order of maturity and shall not extend or postpone the due
dates of the monthly installments due under the Note or this Agreement, or change the amounts of such installments.
2.3.3 Optional Prepayments. Provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower shall have the right to prepay all or any portion of the Principal, at any time on or after the date that is one (1) year following the date hereof (but may not prepay prior to such date), in an amount no less than $500,000 and in multiples of $100,000 provided that Borrower gives Administrative Agent at least one (1) Business Day prior written notice thereof and such prepayment is accompanied by any reasonable costs, fees and expenses incurred by Administrative Agent in connection therewith.
2.4 Compensation for Losses. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any SOFR Based Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any SOFR Based Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any SOFR Based Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto, or (d) the assignment of any SOFR Based Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by Borrower pursuant to Section 2.11.4, then, in any such event, Borrower shall compensate each Lender for any loss, cost and expense attributable to such event, including any loss, cost or expense arising from the liquidation or redeployment of funds. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.
2.5 Payments and Computations.
2.5.1 Making of Payments. Each payment by Borrower shall be made in U.S. dollars immediately available to Administrative Agent by 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date such payment is due, to Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders by deposit to such account as Administrative Agent may designate by written notice to Borrower. Whenever any such payment shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the first Business Day thereafter. Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its pro rata share (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender at its designated lending office. All such payments shall be made irrespective of, and without any deduction, set-off or counterclaim whatsoever and are payable without relief from valuation and appraisement laws and with all costs and charges incurred in the collection or enforcement thereof, including attorneys’ fees and court costs. All payments (other than the initial funding of the Loan) by any Lender shall be made to Administrative Agent at Administrative Agent’s office not later than 4:00 p.m. New York City time on the day such payment is due. All payments received by Administrative Agent after 4:00 p.m. New York City time shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. For the avoidance of doubt, Administrative Agent will distribute payments to each Lender,
(a) on the date of receipt, if Administrative Agent receives such funds on or before 12:00 p.m. New York City time, or (ii) on the Business Day following the date of receipt, if Administrative Agent receives such funds after 12:00 p.m. New York City time.
2.5.2 Computations. Interest and any fees payable under the Loan Documents shall be computed based on the Interest Accrual Method.
2.5.3 Late Payment Charge. Unless expressly waived by the Lenders in writing, if any Principal, interest or other sum due under any Loan Document is not paid by Borrower within ten (10) days of the date on which it is due, Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders the Late Payment Charge, in order to defray the expense incurred by Lenders in handling and processing such delinquent payment and to compensate Lenders for the loss of the use of such delinquent payment. Such amount shall be secured by the Loan Documents. Borrower acknowledges that the late payment charge provided for herein reflects, among other things, the fact that the Loan has become a substantially greater credit risk given its default status and that Administrative Agent and each Lender is entitled to additional compensation for such risk and all such interest is payable Borrower upon demand by Administrative Agent. Borrower also agrees and acknowledges that the Default Rate is a reasonable forecast of such additional compensation for anticipated and actual harm incurred by Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and that such harm cannot be estimated with certainty or without difficulty.
2.6 Swap Agreements.
2.6.1 Borrower shall hedge the floating interest expense of the Loan for the full term of the Loan by (a) maintaining one or more swap agreements (as defined in 11 U.S.C. § 101) with Administrative Agent or its Affiliate (a “Secured Swap Agreement”), or (b) one or more rate cap agreements or “swap agreements” (as defined in 11 U.S.C. §101) with another financial institution approved by Administrative Agent in writing (a “Third Party Swap Agreement”), in an aggregate notional amount equal to the principal balance of the Loan originally scheduled to be outstanding over such term when the Secured Swap Agreement or Third Party Swap Agreement is executed, all upon terms and subject to such conditions as shall be acceptable to Administrative Agent (or if such transactions are pursuant to a Third Party Swap Agreement, all upon terms and subject to such conditions as shall be expressly approved by Administrative Agent in writing).
2.6.2 In order for a Third Party Swap Agreement entered into with another financial institution to be expressly approved by Administrative Agent in writing, such other financial institution must at minimum have a long term, unsecured and unsubordinated debt rating of at least A- by S&P and A3 by Moody’s. In the event of any downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the rating of such financial institution below A- by S&P or A3 by Moody’s, Borrower shall replace the Third Party Swap Agreement then in effect with a replacement Secured Swap Agreement or Third Party Swap Agreement meeting the requirements of this Section 2.6 not later than fifteen (15) Business Days after learning of such downgrade, withdrawal or qualification.
2.6.3 All of Borrower’s obligations under any Secured Swap Agreement shall be secured by the lien of the Mortgage on a pari passu basis with the Loan and other sums evidenced or secured by the Loan Documents. No Third Party Swap Agreement shall be secured by the Mortgage. Borrower’s interest in any Secured Swap Agreement or Third Party Swap Agreement shall be assigned to Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders pursuant to documentation satisfactory to Administrative Agent in form and substance, and, in the case of any Third Party Swap Agreement, the counterparty to such Third Party Swap Agreement must have executed and delivered to Administrative Agent an acknowledgment of such assignment, which acknowledgment includes such counterparty’s agreement provide Administrative Agent with the ability to cure any Borrower defaults under such Third Party Swap Agreement and to maintain such Third Party Swap Agreement in full force and effect after the occurrence of any Borrower default or other termination event thereunder caused by Borrower, and shall otherwise be satisfactory to Administrative Agent in form and substance.
2.6.4 Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver to Administrative Agent such confirmations and agreements as may be requested by Administrative Agent in connection with any Secured Swap Agreement.
2.6.5 Subject to the express obligations of Administrative Agent or any Affiliate thereof with respect to any Secured Swap Agreement, Borrower agrees that neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation, duty or responsibility to Borrower or any other Person by reason of, or in connection with, any Secured Swap Agreement or Third Party Swap Agreement (including any duty to provide or arrange any Secured Swap Agreement or Third Party Swap Agreement, to consent to any mortgage or pledge of the Property or any portion thereof as security for Borrower’s performance of its obligations under any Third Party Swap Agreement, or to provide any credit or financial support for the obligations of Borrower or any other Person thereunder or with respect thereto). No Secured Swap Agreement or Third Party Swap Agreement shall alter, impair, restrict, limit or modify in any respect the obligation of Borrower to pay interest on the Loan as and when the same becomes due and payable in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Documents.
2.6.6 All payments made by the counterparty to any Third Party Swap Agreement entered into with any financial institution other than Lender, and expressly approved by Lender in writing, shall be applied in the same manner as Rents are applied under Section 3.
2.6.7 Any Secured Swap Agreements are independent agreements governed by the written provisions thereof, which shall remain in full force and effect unaffected by any repayment, prepayment, acceleration, reduction, increase or change in the terms of the Loan, except as otherwise expressly provided in such Secured Swap Agreement, and any payoff statement from Administrative Agent relating to the Loan shall not apply to such Secured Swap Agreement except as otherwise expressly provided in such payoff statement.
2.6.8 If Borrower fails for any reason or cause whatsoever to procure a Secured Swap Agreement or Third Party Swap Agreement as and when required to do so hereunder, such failure shall constitute an Event of Default and Administrative Agent shall be entitled to exercise all rights and remedies available to it under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or otherwise, including the right (but not the obligation) of Administrative Agent to procure or otherwise enter into one or more Secured Swap Agreements or Third Party Swap Agreements with a counterparty for and on behalf of Borrower without such action constituting a cure of such Event of Default and without waiving Administrative Agent’s or Lenders’ rights arising out of or in connection with such Event of Default. If Administrative Agent shall enter into a Secured Swap Agreement or Third Party Swap Agreement in accordance with its right to do so pursuant to this Section 2.6.8, then (a) the terms and provisions of any such Secured Swap Agreement or Third Party Swap Agreement, including the term thereof, shall be determined by Administrative Agent in its sole and absolute discretion and (b) Borrower shall pay all of Administrative Agent’s costs and expenses in connection therewith, including any fees charged by the applicable counterparty, attorneys’ fees and disbursements (including, without limitation, any breakage costs and other make whole amounts), and the cost of additional title insurance in an amount determined by Administrative Agent to be necessary to protect Administrative Agent and the Lenders from any exposure resulting from such Secured Swap Agreement or Third Party Swap Agreement.
2.6.9 Borrower shall, at its sole cost and expense, provide Administrative Agent with such additional title insurance coverage and endorsements to the title policy (or, if such additional title insurance is not available by endorsement, Borrower shall provide separate title insurance policies with respect thereto) as Administrative Agent shall require in connection with any Secured Swap Agreement provided by Administrative Agent under this Section 2.6.9.
2.6.10 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (a) no Secured Swap Obligations shall be paid (including, without limitation, through the exercise of rights of setoff or the realization upon any collateral pledged to Administrative Agent in favor of the Lenders) with amounts received from any Non-Qualifying Party under its Guaranty (including sums received as a result of the exercise of remedies with respect to such Guaranty) or from the proceeds of any Non-Qualifying Party’s collateral if such Secured Swap Obligations would constitute Excluded Swap Obligations as to such Non-Qualifying Party; provided, however, that to the extent possible, and not inconsistent with applicable Legal Requirements, appropriate adjustments shall be made with respect to payments and/or the proceeds of collateral from Borrower and/or Guarantors, if they are Eligible Contract Participants with respect to such Secured Swap Obligations, to preserve the allocation to Borrower’s obligations otherwise set forth herein, and (b) none of the collateral pledged by Borrower or Guarantor shall secure any Excluded Swap Obligations with respect to Borrower or Guarantor.
2.7 Fees.
2.7.1 Origination Fee. On the date hereof, relative to the Initial Advance Amount, Borrower agrees to pay to Administrative Agent a nonrefundable origination fee
in an amount equal to $252,000 for the benefit of the Lenders, and to be divided among the Lenders on a pro rata basis in accordance with each Lender’s Proportionate Share of the Initial Advance Amount. In connection with and as a condition to Lenders funding the Future Advance Amount, Borrower agrees to pay to Administrative Agent a nonrefundable origination fee in an amount equal to $252,000 (the “Future Advance Origination Fee”) for the benefit of the Lenders, and to be divided among the Lenders on a pro rata basis in accordance with each Lender’s Proportionate Share of the Future Advance Amount.
2.7.2 [Reserved].
2.7.3 [Reserved].
2.8 Extension Options. Borrower shall have the right, at its option, to extend the Term until the First Extended Maturity Date by giving notice of such extension to Administrative Agent prior to the Extension Notice Deadline. Upon receipt of such request to extend the Term from the originally scheduled Maturity Date until the First Extended Maturity Date, Administrative Agent will consider extending the Term, in Administrative Agent’s sole and absolute discretion, and subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions precedent:
(a) no monetary or material non-monetary Default or Event of Default exists at the time such request is made and on the originally scheduled Maturity Date or the First Extended Maturity Date, as applicable;
(b) Borrower delivers to Administrative Agent an Officer’s Certificate confirming the accuracy of the information contained in clause (a) above;
(c) on or prior to the originally scheduled Maturity Date or the First Extended Maturity Date, as the case may be, Borrower either (i) extends the term of the Secured Swap Agreement or Third Party Swap Agreement to a date not earlier than the First Extended Maturity Date, or (ii) enters into a new Secured Swap Agreement or Third Party Swap Agreement which expires no earlier than the First Extended Maturity Date, and which extension or new agreement is in respect of a notional amount of the then outstanding Principal and is otherwise on the same terms set forth in Section 2.6.1;
(d) on the originally scheduled Maturity Date (i) the Extension DSCR is at least 1.2:1, and (ii) the Loan-To-Value Ratio (based on the “as is” value of the Property) is not more than 65%; provided that if either of the foregoing tests are not satisfied, Borrower may prepay a portion of the unpaid Principal required to satisfy such tests;
(e) if the option to extend the Term until First Extended Maturity Date is exercised, Borrower pays to Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders concurrently with the request to so extend the Term until the First Extended Maturity Date, the First Extended Maturity Date Fee;
(f) [Reserved];
(g) as of the originally scheduled Maturity Date, each of the representations and warranties of Borrower and Guarantor contained or incorporated in any Loan Document is true and correct, except if any such representation or warranty is expressly stated to have been made as of a specific date, then as of such specific date;
(h) Borrower and Guarantor are in compliance with all covenants contained or incorporated in the Loan Documents; and
(i) no material adverse change shall have occurred, as determined by Administrative Agent in its sole discretion, in the financial condition of Borrower, Guarantor, or the Property from that which existed as of the later of (i) the date hereof or (ii) the date upon which the financial condition of such party or the Property was first presented to Administrative Agent by Borrower, Guarantor, or any of their respective Affiliates.
If Borrower is unable to satisfy all of the foregoing conditions within the applicable time frames for each, Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to consider extending the Maturity Date hereunder.
2.9 Non-Receipt of Funds by Administrative Agent. Unless Administrative Agent shall have been notified by a Lender or Borrower (in either case, the “Payor”) prior to the date on which the Payor is to make payment to Administrative Agent of (in the case of a Lender) the proceeds of a Loan to be made by such Lender hereunder or (in the case of Borrower) a payment to Administrative Agent for account of any Lender hereunder (in either case, such payment being herein called the “Required Payment”), which notice shall be effective upon receipt, that the Payor does not intend to make the Required Payment to Administrative Agent, Administrative Agent may assume that the Required Payment has been made and may, in reliance upon such assumption (but shall not be required to), make the amount thereof available to the intended recipient(s) on such date; and, if the Payor has not in fact made the Required Payment to Administrative Agent, the recipient(s) of such payment shall, on demand, repay to Administrative Agent the amount so made available together with interest thereon in respect of each day during the period commencing on the date (the “Advance Date”) such amount was so made available by Administrative Agent until the date Administrative Agent recovers such amount at a rate per annum equal to the greater of (a) the Federal Funds Rate for such day in the case of payments returned to Administrative Agent by any of the Lenders and (b) the applicable interest rate due hereunder with respect to payments returned by Borrower to Administrative Agent, and, if such recipient(s) shall fail promptly to make such payment, Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount, on demand, from the Payor, together with interest as aforesaid; provided that if neither the recipient(s) nor the Payor shall return the Required Payment to Administrative Agent within three (3) Business Days of the Advance Date, then, retroactively to the Advance Date, the Payor and the recipient(s) shall each be obligated to pay interest on the Required Payment as follows:
(a) if the Required Payment shall represent a payment to be made by Borrower to the Lenders, Borrower and the recipient(s) shall each be obligated
retroactively to the Advance Date to pay interest in respect of the Required Payment at the Default Rate (without duplication of the obligation of Borrower under Section 2.2 to pay interest on the Required Payment at the Default Rate), it being understood that the return by the recipient(s) of the Required Payment to Administrative Agent shall not limit such obligation of Borrower under Section 2.2 to pay interest at the Default Rate in respect of the Required Payment; and
(b) if the Required Payment shall represent proceeds of a Loan to be made by the Lenders to Borrower, the Payor and Borrower shall each be obligated retroactively to the Advance Date to pay interest in respect of the Required Payment at the applicable interest rate due hereunder with respect to such Loan, it being understood that the return by Borrower of the Required Payment to Administrative Agent shall not limit any claim Borrower may have against the Payor in respect of such Required Payment and shall not relieve such Payor of any obligation it may have hereunder or under any other Loan Documents to Borrower and no advance by Administrative Agent to Borrower under this Section 2.9 shall release any Lender of its obligation to fund such Loan except as set forth in the following sentence. If any such Lender shall thereafter advance any such Required Payment to Administrative Agent, such Required Payment shall be deemed such Lender's applicable Loan to Borrower.
2.10 Sharing of Payments, Etc.
2.10.1 Sharing. If any Lender shall obtain from Borrower payment of any principal of or interest on any Loan owing to it or payment of any other amount under this Agreement or any other Loan Document through the exercise (subject, as among the Lenders, to Section 11.20) of any right of set off, banker’s lien or counterclaim or similar right or otherwise (other than from Administrative Agent as provided herein), and, as a result of such payment, such Lender shall have received a greater percentage of the principal of or interest on the Loans or such other amounts then due hereunder or thereunder by Borrower to such Lender than the percentage received by any other Lender, it shall promptly purchase from such other Lenders participations in (or, if and to the extent specified by such Lender, direct interests in) the Loans or such other amounts, respectively, owing to such other Lenders (or in interest due thereon, as the case may be) in such amounts, and make such other adjustments from time to time as shall be equitable, to the end that all the Lenders shall share the benefit of such excess payment (net of any expenses that may be incurred by such Lender in obtaining or preserving such excess payment) pro rata in accordance with the unpaid principal of and/or interest on the Loans or such other amounts, respectively, owing to each of the Lenders. To such end all the Lenders shall make appropriate adjustments among themselves (by the resale of participations sold or otherwise) if such payment is rescinded or must otherwise be restored.
2.10.2 Consent by Borrower. Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing such a participation (or direct interest) may exercise (subject, as among the Lenders, to Section 11.20) all rights of set off, banker’s lien, counterclaim or similar rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct holder of Loans
or other amounts (as the case may be) owing to such Lender in the amount of such participation.
2.10.3 Rights of Lenders; Bankruptcy. Nothing contained herein shall require any Lender to exercise any such right or shall affect the right of any Lender to exercise, and retain the benefits of exercising, any such right with respect to any other indebtedness or obligation of Borrower. If, under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, any Lender receives a secured claim in lieu of a set off to which this Section 2.10.3 applies, such Lender shall, to the extent practicable, exercise its rights in respect of such secured claim in a manner consistent with the rights of the Lenders entitled under this Section 2.10.3 to share in the benefits of any recovery on such secured claim.
2.11 Yield Protection; Etc.
2.11.1 Increased Costs.
(a) Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:
(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, Administrative Agent or any Lender;
(ii) impose on Administrative Agent or any Lender any other condition affecting this Agreement or the Loan or participation therein;
(iii) subject Administrative Agent or any Lender to any taxes on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or
(iv) impose on Administrative Agent or any Lender any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or Loan made by such Lender;
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to Administrative Agent or such Lender of making or maintaining any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any Loan) or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount), then Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
(b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or any lending office of such Lender or such Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by such Lender to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding
company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered, to the extent that such Lender is requesting similar compensation from other similarly-situated borrowers.
(c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 2.11 shall be delivered to Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.
(d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.11 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 2.11 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than 270 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 270-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).
2.11.2 Illegality. If any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable lending office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to SOFR, the Term SOFR Rate, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon SOFR, or the Term SOFR Rate, then, upon notice thereof by such Lender to Borrower (through Administrative Agent), any obligation of the Lenders to make SOFR Based Loans, and any right of Borrower to continue SOFR Based Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to SOFR Based Loans, shall be suspended. Upon receipt of such notice, (i) Borrower shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, upon demand from any Lender (with a copy to Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all SOFR Based Loans to Base Rate Loans on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if all affected Lenders may lawfully continue to maintain such SOFR Based Loans to such day, or immediately, if any Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such SOFR Based Loans to such day. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted, together with any additional amounts required.
2.11.3 Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.11.1, or requires Borrower to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.2.3, then such Lender shall (at the request of Borrower) use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment
(i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.11.1 or 2.2.3, as the case may be, in the future, and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.
2.11.4 Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.11.1, or if Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.2.3, or any Lender’s obligation to continue Loans of any type, or to convert Loans of any type into the other type of Loan maintain the Loan, shall be suspended pursuant to Section 2.11.1 or Section 2.11.2 and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with Section 2.11.3, or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or Non-Consenting Lender, then Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 11.20), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 2.11.1 or Section 2.2.3) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an Eligible Institution that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that:
(a) Borrower shall have paid to Administrative Agent the assignment fee (if any) specified in Section 11.20.1(a)(v);
(b) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans accrued, interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);
(c) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.11.1 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.2.3, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and
(d) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Legal Requirements.
A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.
Each party hereto agrees that (x) an assignment required pursuant to this Section 2.11.4 may be effected pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the assignee, and (y) the Lender required to make such assignment need not be a party thereto in order for such assignment to be effective
and shall be deemed to have consented to an be bound by the terms thereof; provided that, following the effectiveness of any such assignment, the other parties to such assignment agree to execute and deliver such documents necessary to evidence such assignment as reasonably requested by the applicable Lender; provided, further that any such documents shall be without recourse to or warranty by the parties thereto.
2.12 Effect of Benchmark Transition Event.
2.12.1 Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, Administrative Agent may amend this Agreement to replace the then-current Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement. Any such amendment with respect to a Benchmark Transition Event will become effective at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after Administrative Agent has posted such proposed amendment to all affected Lenders and Borrower so long as Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such amendment from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders. No replacement of a Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to this Section 2.12 will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date.
2.12.2 Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark, Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to the Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents; provided that, with respect to any such amendment effected, Administrative Agent shall post each such amendment implementing such Conforming Changes to Borrower and the Lenders reasonably promptly after such amendment becomes effective.
2.12.3 Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. Administrative Agent will promptly notify Borrower and the Lenders of (a) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date, (b) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (c) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, (d) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 2.12.3 including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.12.
2.12.4 Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, Borrower (a) may revoke any request for a SOFR Based Loan or, conversion to or continuation of SOFR
Based Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period or, (b) Borrower shall be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Base Rate Loan or conversion to Base Rate Loans.
2.12.5 Interest Rates. Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to (a) the continuation of, administration of, submission of, calculation of or any other matter related to Base Rate, the Term SOFR Rate, or Term SOFR, or any component definition thereof or rates referred to in the definition thereof, or any alternative, successor or replacement rate thereto (including any Benchmark Replacement), including whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, or have the same volume or liquidity as, Base Rate, the Term SOFR Rate, or Term SOFR or any other Benchmark prior to its discontinuance or unavailability, or (b) the effect, implementation or composition of any Conforming Changes. Administrative Agent and its affiliates or other related entities may engage in transactions that affect the calculation of Base Rate, the Term SOFR Rate, or Term SOFR, any alternative, successor or replacement rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) or any relevant adjustments thereto, in each case, in a manner adverse to Borrower. Administrative Agent may select information sources or services in its reasonable discretion to ascertain Base Rate, the Term SOFR Rate, or Term SOFR or any other Benchmark, in each case pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and shall have no liability to Borrower, any Lender or any other person or entity for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages, costs, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise and whether at law or in equity), for any error or calculation of any such rate (or component thereof) provided by any such information source or service.
2.13 Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for Term SOFR based Loans, (a) Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining Term SOFR for such Interest Period and Section 2.12 hereof does not apply, or (b) Term SOFR for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lenders of making or maintaining any Term SOFR based Loan for such Interest Period and Section 2.12 hereof does not apply, then Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to Borrower as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until Administrative Agent notifies Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, each Term SOFR based Loan shall, at the end of the current Interest Period therefor, be converted into a Base Rate Loan.
2.14 Reserved.
2.15 Reserved.
2.16 Taxes. If and to the extent applicable (for example, if taxes are due and not abated), Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent on each Monthly Payment Due Date one-twelfth of the Taxes that Administrative Agent estimates will be payable during
the next twelve (12) months in order to accumulate with Administrative Agent sufficient funds to pay all such Taxes at least sixty (60) days prior to their respective due dates. Such amounts will be deposited into a separate account for the applicable Property with Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders (each, a “Tax Account”); provided, however, no such payment or Tax Account shall be required for any Property unless the Taxes exceed $50,000 on an annual basis for the applicable Property. Provided that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Administrative Agent will (a) apply funds in the Tax Account to payments of Taxes required to be made by Borrower pursuant to Sections 5.2 and 7.1, provided that Borrower has promptly supplied Administrative Agent with notices of all Taxes due, or (b) reimburse Borrower for such amounts upon presentation of evidence of payment; subject, however, to Borrower’s right to contest Taxes in accordance with Section 5.2. In making any payment relating to Taxes, Administrative Agent may do so according to any bill, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office, without inquiry into the accuracy of such bill, statement or estimate or into the validity of any tax, assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim thereof. If Administrative Agent determines in its reasonable judgment that the funds in the Tax Account will be insufficient to pay (or in excess of) the Taxes next coming due, Administrative Agent may increase (or decrease) the monthly contribution required to be made by Borrower to the Tax Account.
2.17 Reserved.
2.18 Casualty/Condemnation Account. Borrower shall pay, or cause to be paid, to Administrative Agent all Proceeds or Awards due to any Casualty or Condemnation to be deposited into a separate account with Administrative Agent (the “Casualty/Condemnation Account”) in accordance with the provisions of Article 7. All amounts in the Casualty/Condemnation Account shall be disbursed in accordance with the provisions of Article 7.
2.19 Security Deposits. Borrower shall keep and hold all security deposits under Leases in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements and in a separately designated account under Borrower’s control with Administrative Agent (and in the case of a letter of credit, assigned with full power of attorney and executed sight drafts to Administrative Agent) so that the security deposits shall not be commingled with any other funds of Borrower. After the occurrence of an Event of Default, Borrower shall, upon Administrative Agent’s request, if permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, turn over to Administrative Agent the security deposits (and any interest theretofore earned thereon) under Leases, to be held by Administrative Agent in a separate account (the “Security Deposit Account”) subject to the terms of the Leases. Security deposits held in the Security Deposit Account will be released by Administrative Agent upon notice from Borrower together with such evidence as Administrative Agent may reasonably request that such security deposit is required to be returned to a tenant pursuant to the terms of a Lease or may be applied as Rent pursuant to the rights of Borrower under the applicable Lease. Any letter of credit or other instrument that Borrower receives in lieu of a cash security deposit under any Lease entered into after the date hereof shall (i) be maintained in full force and effect in the full amount unless replaced by a cash deposit as hereinabove described and (ii) if permitted pursuant to any Legal Requirements, name Administrative
Agent on behalf of the Lenders as payee or mortgagee thereunder (or at Administrative Agent’s option, be fully assignable to Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders).
2.20 [Reserved].
2.21 Grant of Security Interest; Application of Funds. As security for payment of the Debt and the performance by Borrower of all other terms, conditions and provisions of the Loan Documents, Borrower hereby pledges and assigns to Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders, and grants to Administrative Agent a security interest in, all Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to all Rents and in and to all payments to or monies held in separate accounts with Administrative Agent pursuant to Article 3 or Section 5.10.5 of this Agreement (collectively, the “Cash Management Accounts”). Borrower hereby grants to Administrative Agent a continuing security interest in, and agrees to hold in trust for the benefit of Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders, all Rents in its possession prior to the payment of such Rents to Administrative Agent. Borrower shall not, without obtaining the prior express written consent of Administrative Agent, further pledge, assign or grant any security interest in any Cash Management Account, or permit any Lien to attach thereto, or any levy to be made thereon, or any UCC Financing Statements, except those naming Administrative Agent as the secured party, to be filed with respect thereto. This Agreement is, among other things, intended by the parties to be a security agreement for purposes of the UCC. Upon repayment in full of the Debt, all remaining funds held in the separate accounts with Administrative Agent pursuant to Article 3 or Section 5.10.5 of this Agreement shall be promptly disbursed to Borrower.

principles of equity. The Loan Documents are not subject to, and Borrower has not asserted, any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury. No exercise of any of the terms of the Loan Documents, or any right thereunder, will render any Loan Document unenforceable.
4.3 No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents by Borrower and the transactions contemplated hereby will not conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any Lien (other than pursuant to the Loan Documents) upon any of the property of Borrower pursuant to the terms of, any agreement or instrument to which Borrower is a party or by which its property is subject, nor will such action result in any violation of the provisions of any statute or any order, rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over Borrower or any of its properties. Borrower’s rights under the Licenses and the Management Agreement will not be materially adversely affected by the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, Borrower’s performance thereunder, the recordation of the Mortgage, or the exercise of any remedies by Administrative Agent or any Lender. Any consent, approval, authorization, order, registration or qualification of or with any Governmental Authority required for the execution, delivery and performance by Borrower of the Loan Documents has been obtained and is in full force and effect.
4.4 Litigation. There are no actions, suits or other proceedings at law or in equity by or before any Governmental Authority now pending or, to the Borrower’s best knowledge, threatened against or affecting Borrower, the Manager or the Property, which, if adversely determined, might materially adversely affect the condition (financial or otherwise) or business of Borrower (including the ability of Borrower to carry out its obligations under the Loan Documents), Manager or the use, value, condition or ownership of the Property.
4.5 Agreements. Borrower is not a party to any agreement or instrument or subject to any restriction which might materially and adversely affect Borrower or the Property, or Borrower’s business, properties, operations or condition, financial or otherwise. Borrower is not in default in any material respect in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions contained in any Permitted Encumbrance or any other agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it or the Property is bound.
4.6 Title. Borrower has good, marketable and indefeasible fee title to the real property and good title to the balance of the Property, free and clear of all Liens except the Permitted Encumbrances. All transfer taxes, deed stamps, intangible taxes or other amounts in the nature of transfer taxes required to be paid by Borrower or any other Person under applicable Legal Requirements in connection with the transfer of the Property to Borrower have been paid. The Mortgage when properly recorded in the appropriate records, together with any UCC Financing Statements required to be filed in connection therewith, will create (a) a valid, perfected first priority lien on Borrower’s interest in the Property and (b) valid and perfected first priority security interests in and to, and perfected collateral assignments of, all personalty (including the Leases), all in
accordance with the terms thereof, in each case subject only to any applicable Permitted Encumbrances. All mortgage, recording, stamp, intangible or other similar taxes required to be paid by Borrower or any other Person under applicable Legal Requirements in connection with the execution, delivery, recordation, filing, registration, perfection or enforcement of any of the Loan Documents have been paid. The Permitted Encumbrances do not materially adversely affect the value, operation or use of the Property, or Borrower’s ability to repay the Loan. No Condemnation or other proceeding has been commenced or, to Borrower’s best knowledge, is contemplated with respect to all or part of the Property or for the relocation of roadways providing access to the Property. There are no claims for payment for work, labor or materials affecting the Property which are or may become a Lien prior to, or of equal priority with, the Liens created by the Loan Documents. There are no outstanding options to purchase or rights of first refusal affecting all or any portion of the Property. The survey for the Property delivered to Administrative Agent does not fail to reflect any material matter affecting the Property or the title thereto. All of the Improvements included in determining the appraised value of the Property lie wholly within the boundaries and building restriction lines of the Property, and no improvement on an adjoining property encroaches upon the Property, and no easement or other encumbrance upon the Property encroaches upon any of the Improvements, except those insured against by the Title Insurance Policy. Each parcel comprising the Property is a separate tax lot and is not a portion of any other tax lot that is not a part of the Property. There are no pending or proposed special or other assessments for public improvements or otherwise affecting the Property, or any contemplated improvements to the Property that may result in such special or other assessments. With respect to the Title Insurance Policy, (i) the Title Insurance Policy is in full force and effect, (ii) the Title Insurance Policy is freely assignable by Administrative Agent and the Lenders to and will inure to the benefit of the transferee (subject to recordation of an assignment of mortgage) without the consent or any notification to the insurer, (iii) the premium with respect thereto has been paid in full (or will be paid in full with a portion of the proceeds of the Loan), (iv) the Title Insurance Policy is issued by a title insurance company licensed to issue policies in the State, (v) no claims have been made under the Title Insurance Policy and no other action has been taken that would materially impair the Title Insurance Policy, and (vi) the Title Insurance Policy contains no exclusions for any of the following circumstances, or it affirmatively insures Administrative Agent and the Lenders against losses relating to any of the following circumstances (unless the Property is located in a jurisdiction where such affirmative insurance is not available): (x) that the Property has access to a public road and (y) that the area shown on the survey delivered to Administrative Agent in connection with the Loan is the same as the property legally described in the Mortgage.
4.7 No Bankruptcy Filing. Neither Borrower nor any Guarantor is contemplating either the filing of a petition by it under any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency law or the liquidation of all or a major portion of its property (a “Bankruptcy Proceeding”), and neither Borrower nor any Guarantor has any knowledge of any Person contemplating the filing of any such petition against Borrower or any Guarantor. In addition, neither Borrower nor any principal nor Affiliate of Borrower has been a party to, or the subject of a Bankruptcy Proceeding for the past ten years.
4.8 Full and Accurate Disclosure. No statement of fact made by Borrower or any Guarantor in any Loan Documents contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make statements contained therein not misleading. There is no material fact presently known to Borrower that has not been disclosed to Administrative Agent and the Lenders which adversely affects, or, as far as Borrower can foresee, might adversely affect, the Property or the business, operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of Borrower. All financial data, including the statements of cash flow and income and operating expense, that have been delivered to Administrative Agent in respect of Borrower and the Property or any Guarantor (a) are true, complete and correct in all material respects, (b) accurately represent the financial condition of Borrower and the Property as of the date of such reports, and (c) have been prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout the periods covered, except as disclosed therein. Borrower has no contingent liabilities, liabilities for taxes, unusual forward or long-term commitments, unrealized or anticipated losses from any unfavorable commitments or any liabilities or obligations not expressly permitted by this Agreement. Since the date of such financial statements, there has been no materially adverse change in the financial condition, operations or business of Borrower, any Guarantor, or the Property from that set forth in said financial statements.
4.9 Tax Filings. To the extent required, Borrower has filed (or has obtained effective extensions for filing) all federal, state and local tax returns required to be filed and has paid or made adequate provision for the payment of all federal, state and local taxes, charges and assessments payable by Borrower. Borrower believes that its tax returns (if any) properly reflect the income and taxes of Borrower for the periods covered thereby, subject only to reasonable adjustments required by the Internal Revenue Service or other applicable tax authority upon audit.
4.10 No Plan Assets. As of the date hereof and throughout the Term (a) Borrower is not and will not be an “employee benefit plan,” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, (b) none of the assets of Borrower constitutes or will constitute “plan assets” of one or more such plans within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101, (c) Borrower is not and will not be a “governmental plan” within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA, and (d) transactions by or with Borrower are not and will not be subject to state statutes regulating investment of, and fiduciary obligations with respect to, governmental plans. As of the date hereof, neither Borrower, nor any member of a “controlled group of corporations” (within the meaning of Section 414 of the Code) maintains, sponsors or contributes to a “defined benefit plan” (within the meaning of Section 3(35) of ERISA) or a “multiemployer pension plan” (within the meaning of Section 3(37)(A) of ERISA).
4.11 Compliance. Borrower and the Property and the use thereof comply in all material respects with all applicable Legal Requirements (including with respect to parking and applicable zoning and land use laws, regulations and ordinances). To Borrower’s best knowledge, Borrower is not in default nor aware of any pending or actual violation of any order, writ, injunction, decree or demand of any Governmental Authority, the violation of which might materially adversely affect the condition (financial or otherwise) or business of Borrower. The Property is used exclusively for multi-family properties and other appurtenant and related uses. In the event that all or any part of the
Improvements are destroyed or damaged, to Borrower’s best knowledge based on the current zoning and related regulations in effect, said Improvements can be legally reconstructed to their condition prior to such damage or destruction, and thereafter exist for the same use without violating any zoning or other ordinances applicable thereto and without the necessity of obtaining any variances or special permits. No legal proceedings are pending or, to the knowledge of Borrower, threatened with respect to the zoning of the Property. Neither the zoning nor any other right to construct, use or operate the Property is in any way dependent upon or related to any property other than the Property except for those easements comprising Permitted Encumbrances. All certifications, permits, licenses and approvals, including certificates of completion and occupancy permits required for the legal use, occupancy and operation of the Property (collectively, the “Licenses”), have been obtained and are in full force and effect. The use being made of the Property is in conformity with the certificate of occupancy issued for the Property and all other restrictions, covenants and conditions affecting the Property.
4.12 Contracts. There are no service, maintenance or repair contracts affecting the Property that are not terminable on one month’s notice or less without cause and without penalty or premium, unless expressly approved by Administrative Agent in writing. All service, maintenance or repair contracts affecting the Property have been entered into at arms-length in the ordinary course of Borrower’s business and provide for the payment of fees in amounts and upon terms comparable to existing market rates.
4.13 Federal Reserve Regulations; Investment Company Act. No part of the proceeds of the Loan will be used for the purpose of purchasing or acquiring any “margin stock” within the meaning of Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or for any other purpose that would be inconsistent with such Regulation U or any other regulation of such Board of Governors, or for any purpose prohibited by Legal Requirements or any Loan Document. Borrower is not (a) an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company,” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended; (b) a “holding company” or a “subsidiary company” of a “holding company” or an “affiliate” of either a “holding company” or a “subsidiary company” within the meaning of the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, as amended; or (c) subject to any other federal or state law or regulation which purports to restrict or regulate its ability to borrow money.
4.14 Easements; Utilities and Public Access. All easements, cross easements, licenses, air rights and rights-of-way or other similar property interests (collectively, “Easements”), if any, necessary for the full utilization of the Improvements for their intended purposes have been obtained, are described in the Title Insurance Policy and, to Borrower’s best knowledge, are in full force and effect without default thereunder. The Property has rights of access to public ways and is served by water, sewer, sanitary sewer and storm drain facilities adequate to service it for its intended uses. All public utilities necessary or convenient to the full use and enjoyment of the Property are located in the public right-of-way abutting the Property, and all such utilities are connected so as to serve the Property without passing over other property absent a valid easement. All roads necessary for the use of the Property for its current purpose
have been completed and dedicated to public use and accepted by all Governmental Authorities.
4.15 Physical Condition. The Property, including all Improvements, parking facilities, systems, Equipment and landscaping, are in good condition, order and repair in all material respects; there exists no structural or other material defect or damages to the Property, whether latent or otherwise except as may be reflected in the property condition reports obtained by Lender prior to the funding of he Loan. Borrower has not received notice from any insurance company or bonding company of any defect or inadequacy in the Property, or any part thereof, which would adversely affect its insurability or cause the imposition of extraordinary premiums or charges thereon or any termination of any policy of insurance or bond. No portion of the Property on which a building is constructed is located in an area as identified by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as an area having special flood hazards. The Improvements have suffered no material casualty or damage which has not been fully repaired and the cost thereof fully paid.
4.16 Leases. The rent roll certified by Borrower to Administrative Agent on the date hereof (the “Rent Roll”) is true, complete and correct and the Property is not subject to any Leases other than the Leases described in the Rent Roll.

None of the Leases contains any option to purchase or right of first refusal to purchase the Property or any part thereof. Neither the Leases nor the Rents have been assigned or pledged except to Administrative Agent, and no other Person has any interest therein except the tenants thereunder.
4.17 Fraudulent Transfer; Solvency. Borrower has not entered into the Loan or any Loan Document with the actual intent to hinder, delay, or defraud any creditor, and Borrower has received reasonably equivalent value in exchange for its obligations under the Loan Documents. As of the date of this Agreement and after giving effect to the
transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents, including all Debt incurred thereby, the security interests granted therein and the payment of all fees, costs, expenses and the like related thereto, Borrower and Guarantor are Solvent.
4.18 Ownership of Borrower. The membership interests in Borrower are owned free and clear of all Liens, warrants, options and rights to purchase.

4.26 Sanctions; Anti-Terrorism Laws; Anti-Corruption Laws.
(a) Borrower, each guarantor or pledgor of collateral, and each subsidiary of the foregoing (each, a “Covered Entity”) and, to the knowledge of Borrower, their respective officers, employees, directors and agents acting in any capacity in connection with the Loan, are in compliance with, and have not engaged, and do not

Borrower may from time to time appoint a successor manager to manage the Property, provided that such successor manager and Management Agreement shall be expressly approved in writing by Administrative Agent in Administrative Agent’s reasonable discretion. If at any time Administrative Agent consents to the appointment of a new manager, such new manager and Borrower shall,

If Borrower elects to satisfy the applicable Debt Service Coverage Ratio test pursuant to clauses (ii) or (iii) immediately above, such cash collateral or letter of credit will no longer be required to be maintained by Administrative Agent following satisfaction of the required Debt Service Coverage Ratio for three (3) consecutive months and all cash collateral in the applicable cash collateral account will be promptly disbursed to Borrower and any letter of credit will be promptly returned to Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for the avoidance of doubt, neither the cash collateral nor letter of credit shall be included in the calculation of Debt Service Coverage Ratio for the purpose of determining whether such cash collateral or letter of credit shall be released by Administrative Agent.

days after the Cure Trigger Commencement Date and (B) the date that is 10 days following the date that the financial statements were required to be delivered for the relevant period pursuant to Section 6.3, as the case may be (such period, the "Cure Period"), GSI Guarantor shall have the right (the “Cure Right”) to give irrevocable written notice to Lender of its intent (on behalf of itself or its Subsidiaries) to receive cash capital contributions, or sell assets for cash or receive cash in respect of any investments or from any other source in an amount that, if applied in the manner described in clause (iii) below for the relevant testing period, would have been sufficient to cause compliance with the Financial Covenants for such period (an “Equity Cure”); provided that:
(i) GSI Guarantor and its Subsidiaries shall not be entitled to exercise the Equity Cure any more than three (3) times prior to the final extended loan maturity date and in each four consecutive fiscal quarters, there shall be at least two fiscal quarters in which no Equity Cure shall have been made;

(iii) The cash amount received by the GSI Guarantor or its Subsidiaries pursuant to exercise of the right to make an Equity Cure shall be:
x. In the case of a failure to comply with the Total GSI Net Worth and Leverage Ratio Financial Covenants set forth in Section 5.33, applied to increase the Total GSI Net Worth of GSI Guarantor and its Subsidiaries and either (A) reduce Total Debt (if applied to the repayment of Total Debt) or (B) increase cash and Cash Equivalents on the balance sheet of GSI Guarantor or its Subsidiaries (but not both), as elected by GSI Guarantor in its sole discretion, which increase shall be deemed to have occurred on the last day of the applicable Fiscal Quarter for which such Equity Cure is being made; and
y. in the case of a failure to comply with the Total Liquidity Financial Covenant set forth in Section 5.33, added to Total Liquidity in the calculation thereof solely to the extent constituting unrestricted cash and Cash Equivalents;
(iv) any Equity Cure (A) pursuant to clause (iii)(x) or clause (iii)(y) above shall only be taken into account for purposes of calculating compliance with the Financial Covenants (and not for any other use of Total GSI Net Worth, Leverage Ratio or Total Liquidity under the GSI Guaranty
or any other Loan Document) and shall be included in each Financial Covenant as set forth in clauses (i), (ii), (iii)(x) and (iii)(y) above, in all instances for purposes of determining whether there has been a failure to comply with such Financial Covenant; and
(v) the amount of any Equity Cure shall be no more than the amount required to cause GSI Guarantor to be in pro forma compliance with the applicable Financial Covenant for which the Equity Cure is being made pursuant to clause (iii)(x) or clause (iii)(y) above, as applicable (and GSI Guarantor shall deliver an updated and duly executed Compliance Certificate evidencing such pro forma compliance).
(h) Notwithstanding anything in the Guaranty to the contrary, following the delivery by GSI Guarantor of a written notice to the Lender of its intent to exercise the Cure Right (x) the Lender shall not be permitted to exercise any rights then available as a result of an Event of Default under this Section on the basis of a breach of any of the Financial Covenants until the expiration of the Cure Period so as to enable GSI Guarantor to consummate its Cure Right as permitted under this Section and (y) if an Event of Default would have occurred and be continuing had Guarantor not had the option to exercise the Cure Right as set forth in clause (a) above and not exercised such Cure Right pursuant to the foregoing provisions, Lender shall not be required, from the date such Event of Default would have occurred until the date such Event of Default is cured in accordance with the above terms (or waived in accordance with the terms of the Guaranty), to make any extension of credit under this Agreement.
(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Loan Documents, with respect to any financial covenant default not addressed in the preceding sections (a) and (b), or other nonmonetary default stated in the Loan Documents that does not have a specific notice and/or cure period expressly set forth in the Loan Documents: (i) in the case of a default that can be cured by the payment of money, such default shall not constitute an Event of Default unless and until it shall remain uncured for ten (10) Business Days after Borrower receives written notice thereof; and (ii) in the case of a default that cannot be cured by the payment of money but is susceptible of being cured within thirty (30) days, such default shall not constitute an Event of Default unless and until it remains uncured for thirty (30) days after Borrower receives written notice thereof, provided that within ten (10) days of Borrower’s receipt of such written notice, Borrower delivers written notice to Lender of its intention and ability to effect such cure within such thirty (30) day period; and if such non-monetary default is not cured within such thirty (30) day period despite Borrower’s diligent efforts, but is susceptible of being cured within sixty (60) days of Borrower’s receipt of Lender’s original notice, then Borrower shall have such additional time as is reasonably necessary to effect such cure, but in no event in excess of sixty (60) days from Borrower’s receipt of Lender’s original notice, provided that prior to the expiration of the initial thirty (30) day period, Borrower delivers written notice to Lender of its intention and ability to effect such cure prior to the expiration of such sixty (60) day period.

6.4 Platform.
6.4.1 Borrower agrees that Administrative Agent, Sole Lead Arranger and Sole Bookrunner may, but shall not be obligated to, make the Communications available to the Lenders by posting the Communications on Debt Domain, IntraLinks, Syndtrak or a substantially similar electronic transmission system (the “Platform”).
6.4.2 Borrower hereby acknowledges that certain of the Lenders (each, a “Public Lender”) may have personnel who do not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to Borrower or its Affiliates, or the respective securities of any of the foregoing, and who may be engaged in investment and other market-related activities with respect to such Persons’ securities. Borrower hereby agrees that (i) all Communications that are to be made available to Public Lenders shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof; (ii) by marking Communications “PUBLIC,” Borrower shall be deemed to have authorized Administrative Agent, the Lenders, Sole Lead Arranger and Sole Bookrunner to treat such Communications as not containing any material non-public information with respect to Borrower or any Affiliate thereof or their respective securities for purposes of United States Federal and state securities laws; (iii) all Communications marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through the Platform; and (iv) Administrative Agent, Sole Lead Arranger and Sole Bookrunner shall be entitled to treat any Communications that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform designated as “Non-Public Information.”
The Platform is provided “as is” and “as available.” The Agent Parties do not warrant the accuracy or completeness of the Communications or the adequacy of the Platform and expressly disclaim liability for errors or omissions in the Communications.

(h) Such other insurance (including, but not limited to, environmental liability insurance, earthquake insurance, named windstorm insurance, sinkhole insurance, mine subsidence insurance and windstorm insurance) and such higher limits as may from time to time be reasonably required by Administrative Agent in order to protect the interests of Administrative Agent and the Lenders.
(i) Notwithstanding anything in subsection (a) above to the contrary, Borrower shall be required to obtain and maintain coverage in its property insurance Policy (or by a separate Policy) against loss or damage by terrorist acts in an amount equal to 100% of the “Full Replacement Cost” of the Property; provided that such coverage is available. In the event that such coverage with respect to terrorist acts is not included as part of the “all risk” property policy required by subsection (a) above, Borrower shall, nevertheless be required to obtain coverage for terrorism (as stand-alone coverage) in an amount equal to 100% of the “Full Replacement Cost” of the Property; provided that such coverage is available.

workers compensation insurance) shall contain breach of warranty provisions, such policy shall provide that with respect to the interest of Administrative Agent and the Lenders, such insurance policy shall not be invalidated by and shall insure Administrative Agent and the Lenders regardless of (A) any act, failure to act or negligence of or violation of warranties, declarations or conditions contained in such policy by any named insured, (B) the occupancy or use of the premises for purposes more hazardous than permitted by the terms thereof, or (C) any foreclosure or other action or proceeding taken by Administrative Agent or the Lenders pursuant to any provision of the Loan Documents; and (viii) be satisfactory in form and substance to Administrative Agent and expressly approved in writing by Administrative Agent as to amounts, form, risk coverage, deductibles, loss payees and insureds. Borrower shall pay the premiums for such Policies (the “Insurance Premiums”) as the same become due and payable and furnish to Administrative Agent evidence of the renewal of each of the Policies together with (unless such Insurance Premiums have been paid by Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms hereof) receipts for or other evidence of the payment of the Insurance Premiums reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent. If Borrower does not furnish such evidence and receipts at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of any expiring Policy, then Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, procure such insurance and pay the Insurance Premiums therefor, and Borrower shall reimburse Administrative Agent for the cost of such Insurance Premiums promptly on demand, with interest accruing at the Default Rate. Upon request, Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent a copy of each Policy within sixty (60) days after its effective date. Within thirty (30) days after request by Administrative Agent, Borrower shall obtain such increases in the amounts of coverage provided for under any Policy and may require additional or different insurance coverage as may be reasonably requested by Administrative Agent, taking into consideration changes in the value of money over time, changes in liability laws, changes in prudent customs and practices including, without limitation, changes in any Lender’s internal policies, and the like.
7.2 Casualty.
7.2.1 Notice; Restoration. If the Property is damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty (a “Casualty”), Borrower shall give notice thereof to Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days of the Casualty. Following the occurrence of a Casualty, Borrower, regardless of whether insurance proceeds are available, shall promptly proceed to restore, repair, replace or rebuild the Property in accordance with Legal Requirements to be of at least equal value and of substantially the same character as prior to such damage or destruction.
7.2.2 Settlement of Proceeds. If a Casualty covered by any of the Policies (an “Insured Casualty”) occurs where the loss does not exceed $1,000,000, provided no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower may settle and adjust any claim without the prior express written consent of Administrative Agent; provided such adjustment is carried out in a competent and timely manner, and Borrower is hereby authorized to collect and receipt for the insurance proceeds (the “Proceeds”). In the event of an Insured Casualty where the loss equals or exceeds $1,000,000 (a “Significant Casualty”), Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion,
settle and adjust any claim without the prior express written consent of Borrower and agree with the insurer(s) on the amount to be paid on the loss, and the Proceeds shall be due and payable solely to Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders and held by Administrative Agent in the Casualty/Condemnation Account and disbursed in accordance herewith. If Borrower or any party other than Administrative Agent is a payee on any check representing Proceeds with respect to a Significant Casualty, Borrower shall immediately endorse, and cause all such third parties to endorse, such check payable to the order of Administrative Agent. Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Administrative Agent as its attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, to endorse such check payable to the order of Administrative Agent. The expenses incurred by Administrative Agent in the settlement, adjustment and collection of the Proceeds shall become part of the Debt and shall be reimbursed by Borrower to Administrative Agent upon demand. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if in connection with a Casualty any insurance carrier makes a payment under a property insurance Policy that Borrower proposes be treated as business or rental interruption insurance, then, notwithstanding any designation (or lack of designation) by the insurance carrier as to the purpose of such payment, as between Administrative Agent and Borrower, such payment shall not be treated as business or rental interruption insurance proceeds unless Borrower has demonstrated to Administrative Agent’s satisfaction that the remaining net Proceeds that will be received from the property insurance carriers are sufficient to pay 100% of the cost of fully restoring the Improvements or, if such net Proceeds are to be applied to repay the Debt in accordance with the terms hereof, that such remaining net Proceeds will be sufficient to pay the Debt in full.
7.3 Condemnation.
7.3.1 Notice; Restoration. Borrower shall give Administrative Agent written Notice of the actual or threatened commencement of any condemnation or eminent domain proceeding affecting the Property (a “Condemnation”) within five (5) Business Days of actual constructive notice thereof, and shall deliver to Administrative Agent copies of any and all papers served in connection with such Condemnation. Following the occurrence of a Condemnation, Borrower, regardless of whether an Award is available, shall promptly proceed to restore, repair, replace or rebuild the Property in accordance with Legal Requirements to the extent practicable to be of at least equal value and of substantially the same character (and to have the same utility) as prior to such Condemnation.
7.3.2 Collection of Award. Administrative Agent is hereby irrevocably appointed as Borrower’s attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, with exclusive power to collect, receive and retain any award or payment in respect of a Condemnation (an “Award”) and to make any compromise, adjustment or settlement in connection with such Condemnation. Notwithstanding any Condemnation (or any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of such Condemnation), Borrower shall continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided for in the Loan Documents, and the Debt shall not be reduced unless and until any Award shall have been actually received and applied by Administrative Agent to expenses of collecting the Award and to discharge of the Debt. Administrative Agent shall not be limited to the interest paid on the Award by the
condemning authority but shall be entitled to receive out of the Award interest at the rate or rates provided in this Agreement. If the Property is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Administrative Agent of such Award, Administrative Agent shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Note shall be recoverable or shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive all or a portion of the Award sufficient to pay the Debt. Borrower shall cause any Award that is payable to Borrower to be paid directly to Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders. Administrative Agent shall hold such Award in the Casualty/Condemnation Account and disburse such Award in accordance with the terms hereof.
7.4 Application of Proceeds or Award.
7.4.1 Application to Restoration. If an Insured Casualty or Condemnation occurs where (a) the loss is in an aggregate amount less than fifteen percent (15%) of the unpaid Principal, (b) in the reasonable judgment of Administrative Agent, the Property can be restored within six (6) months, and prior to six (6) months before the scheduled Maturity Date and prior to the expiration of the rental or business interruption insurance with respect thereto, to the Property’s pre-existing condition and utility as existed immediately prior to such Insured Casualty or Condemnation and to an economic unit not less valuable and not less useful than the same was immediately prior to the Insured Casualty or Condemnation, and after such restoration will adequately secure the Debt, (c) less than (i) thirty percent (30%), in the case of an Insured Casualty or (ii) fifteen percent (15%), in the case of a Condemnation, of the rentable area of the Improvements has been damaged, destroyed or rendered unusable as a result of such Insured Casualty or Condemnation; (d) Leases demising in the aggregate at least sixty-five (65%) of the total rentable space in the Property and in effect as of the date of the occurrence of such Insured Casualty or Condemnation remain in full force and effect during and after the completion of the Restoration (hereinafter defined); and (e) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be then continuing, then the Proceeds or the Award, as the case may be (after reimbursement of any expenses incurred by Administrative Agent), shall be applied to reimburse Borrower for the cost of restoring, repairing, replacing or rebuilding the Property (the “Restoration”), in the manner set forth herein. Borrower shall commence and diligently prosecute such Restoration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Administrative Agent be obligated to apply the Proceeds or Award to reimburse Borrower for the cost of Restoration unless, in addition to satisfaction of the foregoing conditions, both (x) Borrower shall pay (and if required by Administrative Agent, Borrower shall deposit with Administrative Agent in advance) all costs of such Restoration in excess of the net amount of the Proceeds or the Award made available pursuant to the terms hereof; and (y) Administrative Agent shall have received evidence reasonably satisfactory to it that during the period of the Restoration, the Rents will be at least equal to the sum of the operating expenses and Debt Service and other reserve payments required hereunder, as reasonably determined by Administrative Agent.
7.4.2 Application to Debt. Except as provided in Section 7.4.1, any Proceeds and/or Award may, at the option of Administrative Agent in its discretion, be applied to the payment of (a) accrued but unpaid interest on the Note, (b) the unpaid
Principal and (c) other charges due under the Note and/or any of the other Loan Documents or any Secured Swap Agreement, or applied to reimburse Borrower for the cost of any Restoration, in the manner set forth in Section 7.4.3.
7.4.3 Procedure for Application to Restoration. If Borrower is entitled to reimbursement out of the Proceeds or an Award held by Administrative Agent, such Proceeds or Award shall be disbursed from time to time from the Casualty/Condemnation Account upon Administrative Agent being furnished with (a) evidence satisfactory to Administrative Agent of the estimated cost of completion of the Restoration, (b) a fixed price or guaranteed maximum cost construction contract for Restoration satisfactory to Administrative Agent, (c) prior to the commencement of Restoration, all immediately available funds in addition to the Proceeds or Award that in Administrative Agent’s judgment are required to complete the proposed Restoration, (d) such architect’s certificates, waivers of lien, contractor’s sworn statements, title insurance endorsements, bonds, plats of survey, permits, approvals, licenses and such other documents and items as Administrative Agent may reasonably require and approve in Administrative Agent’s discretion, and (e) all plans and specifications for such Restoration, such plans and specifications to be approved by Administrative Agent prior to commencement of any work. Administrative Agent may, at Borrower’s expense, retain a consultant to review and approve all requests for disbursements, which approval shall also be a condition precedent to any disbursement. No payment made prior to the final completion of the Restoration shall exceed ninety percent (90%) of the value of the work performed from time to time; funds other than the Proceeds or Award shall be disbursed prior to disbursement of such Proceeds or Award; and at all times, the undisbursed balance of such Proceeds or Award remaining in the hands of Administrative Agent, together with funds deposited for that purpose or irrevocably committed to the satisfaction of Administrative Agent by or on behalf of Borrower for that purpose, shall be at least sufficient in the reasonable judgment of Administrative Agent to pay for the cost of completion of the Restoration, free and clear of all Liens or claims for Lien. Provided no Default or Event of Default then exists, any surplus that remains out of the Proceeds held by Administrative Agent after payment of such costs of Restoration shall be paid to Borrower. Any surplus that remains out of the Award received by Administrative Agent after payment of such costs of Restoration shall, in the discretion of Administrative Agent, be retained by Administrative Agent and applied to payment of the Debt or returned to Borrower.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Secured Swap Agreements and Third Party Swap Agreements will only be terminated and accelerated in accordance with the terms thereof.
8.2.2 Remedies Cumulative. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, all or any one or more of the rights, powers, privileges and other remedies available to Administrative Agent and the Lenders against Borrower under the Loan Documents or at law or in equity may be exercised by Administrative Agent on behalf and for the benefit of the Lenders at any time and from time to time, whether or not all or any of the Debt shall be declared, or be automatically, due and payable, and whether or not Administrative Agent shall have commenced any foreclosure proceeding or other action for the enforcement of its rights and remedies under any of the Loan Documents. Any such actions taken by Administrative Agent or the Lenders shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singly, successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Administrative Agent may determine in its discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Administrative Agent or the Lenders permitted by law, equity or contract or as set forth in the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower agrees that if an Event of Default is continuing, (a) to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender is subject to any “one action” or “election of remedies” law or rule, and (b) all Liens and other rights, remedies or privileges provided to Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall remain in full force and effect until Administrative Agent and the Lenders have exhausted all of their remedies against the Property, each Mortgage has been foreclosed, the Property has been sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Debt or the Debt has been paid in full. To the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, nothing contained in any Loan Document shall be construed as requiring Administrative Agent or any Lender to resort to any portion of the Property for the satisfaction of any of the Debt in preference or priority to any other portion, and Administrative Agent and the Lenders may seek satisfaction out of the entire Property or any part thereof, in its discretion.
8.2.3 Severance. Without limiting the provisions of Section 11.25, Administrative Agent shall have the right from time to time to sever the Notes and the other Loan Documents into one or more separate notes, mortgages and other security documents in such denominations and priorities of payment and liens as Lenders shall determine in their discretion for purposes of evidencing and enforcing its rights and remedies. Borrower shall execute and deliver to Administrative Agent and the Lenders from time to time, promptly after the request of Administrative Agent, a severance agreement and such other documents as Administrative Agent shall request in order to effect the severance described in the preceding sentence, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent. Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints Administrative Agent as its true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in its name and stead to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect such severance, Borrower ratifying all that such attorney shall do by virtue thereof.
8.2.4 Delay. No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of Default, or the granting of any indulgence or compromise by Administrative Agent or any Lender shall impair any such remedy, right or power hereunder or be construed as a waiver thereof, but any such remedy, right or power may
be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. A waiver of one Default or Event of Default shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Administrative Agent reserves the right to seek a deficiency judgment or preserve a deficiency claim in connection with the foreclosure of a Mortgage to the extent necessary to foreclose on all or any portion of the Property, the Rents, the Cash Management Accounts or any other collateral.
8.2.5 Administrative Agent’s Right to Perform. If Borrower fails to perform any covenant or obligation contained herein and such failure shall continue for a period of five (5) Business Days after Borrower’s receipt of written notice thereof from Administrative Agent, without in any way limiting Administrative Agent’s right on behalf and for the account of the Lenders to exercise any of its rights, powers or remedies as provided hereunder, or under any of the other Loan Documents, Administrative Agent on behalf and for the account of the Lenders may, but shall have no obligation to, perform, or cause performance of, such covenant or obligation, and all costs, expenses, liabilities, penalties and fines of Administrative Agent incurred or paid in connection therewith shall be payable by Borrower to Administrative Agent upon demand and if not paid shall be added to the Debt (and to the extent permitted under applicable Legal Requirements, secured by the Mortgage and other Loan Documents) and shall bear interest thereafter at the Default Rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to send notice to Borrower of any such failure.
9. INTENTIONALLY OMITTED
10. ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT
10.1 Appointment, Powers and Immunities. Each Lender hereby appoints and authorizes Administrative Agent to act as its administrative agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents with such powers as are specifically delegated to Administrative Agent by the terms of this Agreement and of the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Administrative Agent (which term as used in this sentence and in Section 10.5 and the first sentence of Section 10.6 shall include reference to its Affiliates and its own and its Affiliates’ officers, directors, employees and agents):
(a) shall have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement and in the other Loan Documents, and shall not by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Document be a trustee for any Lender except to the extent that Administrative Agent acts as an agent with respect to the receipt or payment of funds, nor shall Administrative Agent have any fiduciary duty to Borrower nor shall any Lender have any fiduciary duty to Borrower or any other Lender;
(b) shall not be responsible to the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, or in any certificate or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by any of them under, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for the
value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of the Loan Documents or any other document referred to or provided for therein or for any failure by Borrower or any other Person to perform any of its obligations thereunder;
(c) shall not be responsible for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it under any Loan Document or under any other document or instrument referred to or provided for therein or in connection therewith, except to the extent any such action taken or omitted violates Administrative Agent’s standard of care set forth in the first sentence of Section 10.5;
(d) shall not, except to the extent expressly instructed by the Majority Lenders with respect to collateral security under the Loan Documents, be required to initiate or conduct any litigation or collection proceedings hereunder or under any other Loan Document; and
(e) shall not be required to take any action which is contrary to the Loan Documents or applicable Legal Requirements.
The relationship between Administrative Agent and each Lender is a contractual relationship only, and nothing herein shall be deemed to impose on Administrative Agent any obligations other than those for which express provision is made herein or in the other Loan Documents. Administrative Agent may employ agents and attorneys, and may delegate all or any part of its obligations hereunder, to third parties and shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any such agents, attorneys in fact or third parties selected by it in good faith. Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of a Note as the holder thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until a notice of the assignment or transfer thereof shall have been filed with Administrative Agent, any such assignment or transfer to be subject to the provisions of Section 11.20. Except to the extent expressly provided in Section 10.8, the provisions of this Article 10 are solely for the benefit of Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and Borrower shall not have any rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of the provisions hereof and Administrative Agent and the Lenders may modify, amend or waive such provisions of this Article 10 in their sole and absolute discretion.
10.2 Reliance by Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any certification, notice or other communication (including, without limitation, any thereof by telephone, telecopy, telegram or cable) reasonably believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by or on behalf of the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected by Administrative Agent. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder or thereunder in accordance with instructions given by the Majority Lenders, and such instructions of the Majority Lenders and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on all of the Lenders.
10.3 Defaults.
10.3.1 Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default unless Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender or Borrower specifying such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default.” In the event that Administrative Agent receives such a notice of the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default, Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders. Within ten (10) days of delivery of such notice of Default or Event of Default from Administrative Agent to the Lenders (or such shorter period of time as Administrative Agent determines is necessary), Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall consult with each other to determine a proposed course of action. Administrative Agent shall (subject to Section 10.7) take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be directed by the Majority Lenders, provided that, (A) unless and until Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, including decisions (1) to make Protective Advances that Administrative Agent determines are necessary to protect or maintain the Property and (2) to foreclose on any of the Property or exercise any other remedy, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the interest of the Lenders except to the extent that this Agreement expressly requires that such action be taken, or not be taken, only with the consent or upon the authorization of all of the Lenders; provided, however, that no actions approved by the Majority Lenders shall violate the Loan Documents or applicable Legal Requirements. Each of the Lenders acknowledges and agrees that no individual Lender may separately enforce or exercise any of the provisions of any of the Loan Documents (including the Notes) other than through Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of all material actions which Administrative Agent takes in accordance with the provisions of this Section 10.3.1 and shall continue to consult with the Lenders with respect to all of such actions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Majority Lenders shall at any time direct that a different or additional remedial action be taken from that already undertaken by Administrative Agent, including the commencement of foreclosure proceedings, such different or additional remedial action shall be taken in lieu of or in addition to, the prosecution of such action taken by Administrative Agent; provided that all actions already taken by Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 10.3.1 shall be valid and binding on each Lender. All cash proceeds (other than cash proceeds subject to the provisions of Section 10.3.10) received from any enforcement actions, including the cash proceeds of a foreclosure sale of the Property, shall be applied, first, to the payment or reimbursement of Administrative Agent for expenses incurred in accordance with the provisions of Sections 10.3.2, 10.3.3, and 10.3.4 and 10.5 and to the payment of the Agency Fee and other servicing fees to the extent not paid by Borrower pursuant to Section 10.11, second, to the payment or reimbursement of the Lenders for expenses incurred in accordance with the provisions of Sections 10.3.2, 10.3.3, and 10.3.4 and 10.5; third, to the payment or reimbursement of the Lenders for any advances made pursuant to Section 10.3.2 or 10.3.7; fourth, pari passu to the Lenders in accordance with their respective Proportionate Shares, unless an Unpaid Amount is owed pursuant to Section 10.12, in which event such Unpaid Amount shall be deducted from the portion of such proceeds of the Defaulting Lender and be applied to payment of such Unpaid
Amount to the Special Advance Lender and to pay any indebtedness of Borrower under any Secured Swap Agreement provided by Administrative Agent or any Affiliate.
10.3.2 All losses incurred in connection with the Loans (including with respect to interest (including interest at the Default Rate) and other sums payable pursuant to the Notes), the enforcement thereof or the realization of the security therefor, shall be borne by the Lenders in accordance with their respective Proportionate Shares of the Loan. The Lenders shall promptly, upon request by Administrative Agent, remit to Administrative Agent their respective Proportionate Shares of (i) any expenses incurred or to be incurred by Administrative Agent in connection with any Default to the extent any such expenses have not been paid by Borrower or Guarantor, (ii) any advances or disbursements made or to be made to pay Taxes (including special assessments or payments in lieu of real estate Taxes), maintenance costs, ground rent, insurance premiums or other items (including capital items) which Administrative Agent or Majority Lenders determine are necessary to preserve the Lien (or priority of the Lien) of the Mortgage from any intervening lien, forfeiture, casualty, loss, waste or other impairment, diminution or reduction in value (including, without limitation, the completion of any applicable alterations or improvements which have theretofore been commenced or are deemed necessary for the leasing, marketing or maintenance of the Property) or to preserve, protect, sell, operate, manage, lease, improve, maintain, repair, defend or dispose of the Property or any portion thereof), whether or not the amount necessary to be advanced for such purposes exceeds the amount of the Mortgage (all such advances, collectively, “Protective Advances”), (iii) any other expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement of the Mortgage or other Loan Documents, and (iv) any expenses incurred in connection with the consummation of the Loans not paid or provided for by Borrower. Protective Advances shall not exceed Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00) annually unless approved by the Majority Lenders in advance. Each Lender’s Proportionate Share of any Protective Advance shall constitute obligatory advances of that Lender under this Agreement, shall be payable by each Lender on demand by Administrative Agent and secured by the Loan collateral, and if unpaid by any Lender as set forth below, its Proportionate Share thereof shall bear interest at the rate applicable to such amount under the Loans or if no longer applicable, at the Base Rate. Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender in writing of its Proportionate Share of each Protective Advance. Upon receipt of notice from Administrative Agent of its making of a Protective Advance, each Lender shall make the amount of such Lender’s Proportionate Share of the Protective Advance available to Administrative Agent, in same day funds, to such account of Administrative Agent as Administrative Agent may designate, (i) on or before 3:00 p.m. (Administrative Agent’s Time) on the day Administrative Agent provides Lenders with notice of the making of such Protective Advance if Administrative Agent provides such notice on or before 12:00 p.m. (Administrative Agent’s Time), or (ii) on or before 12:00 p.m. on the Business Day immediately following the day Administrative Agent provides Lenders with notice of the making of such advance if Administrative Agent provides notice after 12:00 p.m. (Administrative Agent’s Time).
10.3.3 If, at the direction of the Majority Lenders or otherwise as provided in Section 10.3.1, any action(s) is brought to collect on the Notes or enforce the Mortgage or any other Loan Document, such action shall (to the extent permitted under applicable
Legal Requirements and the decisions of the court in which such action is brought) be an action brought by Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders, collectively, to collect on all or a portion of the Notes or enforce the Mortgage or any other Loan Document and counsel selected by Administrative Agent shall prosecute any such action on behalf of Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall consult and cooperate with each other in the prosecution thereof. If requested by Administrative Agent, each Lender shall join as a party in any such lawsuit or proceeding. The costs and expenses of any such action shall be borne by the Lenders in accordance with each of their respective Proportionate Shares.
10.3.4 If, at the direction of the Majority Lenders or otherwise as provided in Section 10.3.1, any action(s) is brought to foreclose the Mortgage, such action shall (to the extent permitted under applicable Legal Requirements and the decisions of the court in which such action is brought) be an action brought by Administrative Agent on behalf and for the benefit of the Lenders, collectively, to foreclose all or a portion of the Mortgage and collect on the Notes. Counsel selected by Administrative Agent shall prosecute any such foreclosure on behalf of Administrative Agent and the Lenders and Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall consult and cooperate with each other in the prosecution thereof. All decisions concerning the appointment of a receiver, the conduct of such receivership, the conduct of such foreclosure action, the acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, the bid on behalf of Administrative Agent and the Lenders at the foreclosure sale of the Property, the manner of taking and holding title to the Property (other than as set forth in Section 10.3.5 below), the sale of the Property after foreclosure pursuant to Section 10.3.6, and the commencement and conduct of any deficiency judgment proceeding shall be made by Administrative Agent subject to this Article 10. The costs and expenses of foreclosure to the extent not paid by Borrower or Guarantor will be borne by the Lenders in accordance with their respective Proportionate Shares. If requested by Administrative Agent, each Lender shall join as a party in any such lawsuit or proceeding brought to foreclose the Mortgage and collect on the Notes.
10.3.5 If the Property (or any part thereof) is acquired by Administrative Agent or its nominee as a result of a foreclosure or the acceptance of a deed or assignment in lieu of foreclosure, or is retained in satisfaction of all or any part of the obligations, the title to the Property shall be held as required by the Majority Lenders and as acceptable to Administrative Agent provided title is held in an entity or structure which limits liability of the Lenders and is a “pass-through” entity or structure for income tax purposes, or, in the absence of such direction of the Majority Lenders, at the sole option of Administrative Agent, be held in the name of Administrative Agent, or a nominee or subsidiary of Administrative Agent, as administrative agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, or a limited liability company of which Administrative Agent (or a nominee or subsidiary of Administrative Agent, as administrative agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders) is the manager and the Lenders (or their permitted assignees) are the members in proportion to their Proportionate Shares, which shall be formed pursuant to a form of limited liability company agreement approved by Administrative Agent and the Majority Lenders prior to the completion of such foreclosure, which agreement shall include provisions in all material respects similar to this Section 10.3.5 and Article 10 in relation to the duties, rights and immunities of Administrative Agent (or a nominee or subsidiary
of Administrative Agent, in its capacity as the manager thereunder) and rights and obligations of the Lenders. In the event any Lender fails to execute and deliver such agreement in accordance with and after written request therefor from Administrative Agent, each such Lender hereby grants to Administrative Agent a power of attorney to execute and deliver such agreement on its behalf and to take on its behalf any other actions as may reasonably be required to form and qualify such company, which power of attorney is coupled with an interest and irrevocable.
10.3.6 Administrative Agent shall prepare for the approval of the Majority Lenders a recommended course of action for the Property (a “Post-Foreclosure Plan”). Subject to its standard of care contained herein, Administrative Agent (or a nominee or subsidiary of Administrative Agent, as administrative agent, for the account of, and ratable benefit of, the Lenders) shall manage, operate, repair, administer, complete, construct, restore or otherwise deal with the Property acquired, and shall administer all transactions relating thereto, substantially in accordance with the Post-Foreclosure Plan, including, without limitation, employing a management agent, leasing agent and other agents, contractors and employees, including agents for the sale of the Property, and the collecting of rents and other sums from the Property and paying the expenses of the Property. Once approved by the Majority Lenders, Administrative Agent shall use commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with its standard of care contained in this Article 10, to operate and maintain the Property in accordance with the Post-Foreclosure Plan in all material respects (subject to the effect of force majeure events, fire, earthquake, floods, explosion, actions of the elements, other accidents or casualty, declared or undeclared war, riots, mob violence, acts of terrorism, inability to procure or a general shortage of labor, equipment, facilities, energy, materials or supplies in the open market, the effect of orders of Governmental Authorities, laws, rules, regulations or other cause beyond the reasonable control of Administrative Agent) and shall be authorized to make expenditures and pay expenses in accordance with the Post-Foreclosure Plan. It is understood and agreed that Administrative Agent is not warranting that the results contemplated by the Post-Foreclosure Plan shall be realized. If the Majority Lenders shall fail to approve of the proposed Post-Foreclosure Plan, however, the following shall apply: (i) if the proposed Post-Foreclosure Plan is the initial Post-Foreclosure Plan, then Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, may approve an interim plan to govern the operations of the Property until the Majority Lenders approve the first plan; and, (ii) if the proposed Post-Foreclosure Plan is other than the plan referred to in the preceding clause (i), then the Property shall be operated under the most recent Post-Foreclosure Plan until a new Post-Foreclosure Plan shall be approved by the Majority Lenders, subject to adjustments as Administrative Agent shall deem appropriate to take into account emergency or serious maintenance situations at the Property, any tenant improvement costs and leasing commissions for leases executed after approval of the most recently approved budget and any expenditures for the Property required by applicable Legal Requirements, which, if not made, may result in the imposition of a fine or penalty or other sanction against the Lenders, Administrative Agent or entity that holds title to the Property for the benefit of the Lenders. Administrative Agent shall not make any material changes to the approved Post-Foreclosure Plan without the consent of the Majority Lenders.
10.3.7 Upon demand therefor from time to time, each Lender shall contribute its Proportionate Share of all costs and expenses incurred by Administrative Agent pursuant to the approved Post-Foreclosure Plan in connection with the construction, operation, management, maintenance, leasing and sale of the Property. In addition, Administrative Agent shall render or cause to be rendered to each Lender, on a periodic basis (but in any event once per calendar quarter), an income and expense statement for the Property, and each Lender shall promptly contribute its Proportionate Share of any operating loss for the Property, and such other expenses and operating reserves as Administrative Agent shall deem reasonably necessary pursuant to and in accordance with the approved Post-Foreclosure Plan.
10.3.8 To the extent there is net operating income from the Property, Administrative Agent shall, in accordance with the approved Post-Foreclosure Plan, determine the amount and timing of distributions to the Lenders in accordance with Section 10.3.10.
10.3.9 The Lenders acknowledge and agree that if title to the Property is obtained by Administrative Agent or its nominee or limited liability company as provided above, the Property will not be held as a permanent investment but will be liquidated and the proceeds of such liquidation will be distributed in accordance with the Post-Foreclosure Plan as soon as practicable. Administrative Agent shall undertake to sell the Property, at such price and upon such terms and conditions as the Majority Lenders reasonably shall determine to be most advantageous to the Lenders. Any purchase money mortgage or deed of trust taken in connection with the disposition of the Property in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence shall name Administrative Agent, as agent for the Lenders, as the beneficiary or mortgagee; provided, however, that purchase money financing shall not be provided in connection with the disposition of the Property without the prior consent of each Lender. If purchase money financing is so provided, then, Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall enter into an agreement with respect to such purchase money mortgage or deed of trust defining the rights and obligations of Administration Agent and the rights and obligations of the Lenders in the same Proportionate Shares as provided hereunder, which agreement shall be in all material respects similar to this Article insofar as the same is appropriate or applicable and shall contain such other terms and conditions as may be satisfactory to each of the Lenders.
10.3.10 All cash proceeds received with respect to the Property after so acquiring title to or taking possession of the Property, including cash proceeds from the rental, operation and management of the Property and the proceeds of a sale of the Property, shall be applied, first, to the payment of the Agency Fee to the extent not paid by Borrower pursuant to Section 10.11 and any unpaid Servicing Fees and to the payment or reimbursement of Administrative Agent for expenses incurred in accordance with the provisions of this Article 10 or for any other sums then due to Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment of operating expenses with respect to the Property; third, to the establishment of reasonable reserves for the operation of the Property, including, without limitation, to fund any capital improvement, leasing and other reserves; fourth, to the payment or reimbursement of the Lenders for any advances made pursuant
to Section 10.3.2 or 10.3.7; fifth, in accordance with clauses first through fourth of Section 10.3.1; and sixth, pari passu to the Lenders in accordance with their respective Proportionate Shares on account of all sums due and unpaid under the Loan Documents, unless an Unpaid Amount is owed pursuant to Section 10.12, in which event such Unpaid Amount shall be deducted from the portion of such proceeds of the Defaulting Lender and be applied to payment of such Unpaid Amount to the Special Advance Lender.
10.3.11 Special Servicing.
(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent hereunder unless, within thirty (30) days after the occurrence of a Special Servicing Event, Administrative Agent and the Lenders have reached an agreement with respect to the fees (collectively, the “Servicing Fees”) that would be payable to Administrative Agent for servicing, special servicing and administering the Loans after such Special Servicing Event and during the continuation thereof and for administration of the ownership, operation and management of the Property during any period of time that the Property is owned by Administrative Agent or its nominee or other entity pursuant to Section 10.3.5 as a result of a foreclosure or the acceptance of a deed or assignment in lieu of foreclosure. Such Servicing Fees shall be payable in accordance with a separate agreement to be entered into by Administrative Agent and the Lenders. In all events, the Agency Fee shall continue to be payable to Administrative Agent until the Loan has been fully repaid, all collateral for the Loan has been disposed of and proceeds thereof distributed and all services of Administrative Agent hereunder have terminated.
(b) In the event Administrative Agent resigns as permitted above, then the Majority Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent which (A) satisfies the requirements of Section 10.8 or (B) is a Qualified Special Servicer, within thirty (30) days after such resignation. Until such successor Administrative Agent is so appointed, any decisions, determinations, consents, approvals, or other actions required to be provided or made by Administrative Agent under any of the Loan Documents shall be deemed to be effective only if approved by the Majority Lenders. If the Majority Lenders have not appointed such a successor Administrative Agent within such thirty (30) day period, then the resigning Administrative Agent may (on behalf of the Lenders) appoint a successor Administrative Agent that satisfies the requirements of Section 10.8 or is a Qualified Special Servicer. Whether the Qualified Special Servicer is appointed by the Majority Lenders or by the resigning Administrative Agent, the Lenders shall pay the Servicing Fees required by such successor Administrative Agent in accordance with a separate agreement with such successor Administrative Agent.
(c) The time periods within which Administrative Agent is required to act in this Article 10 shall be tolled, commencing on the thirtieth day after the occurrence of a Special Servicing Event, and continuing until ten (10) Business Days after a replacement Administrative Agent has been appointed pursuant to this Section 10.3.11 or Administrative Agent and the Lenders have reached an agreement regarding the Servicing Fees.
(d) As used in this Section 10.3.11, the following terms have the meanings assigned below:
(i) “Qualified Special Servicer” means a nationally recognized commercial mortgage loan servicer which (i) has the minimum rating required of a special servicer in the case of Fitch, (ii) is on the S&P list of approved special servicers in the case of S&P and (iii) in the case of Moody’s, such special servicer is acting as special servicer in a commercial mortgage loan securitization that was rated by Moody’s within the twelve (12) month period prior to the date of determination, and Moody’s has not downgraded or withdrawn the then-current rating on any class of commercial mortgage securities or placed any class of commercial mortgage securities on watch citing the continuation of such special servicer as special servicer of such commercial mortgage securities.
(ii) “Special Servicing Event” means (i) the occurrence of any Event of Default of which Administrative Agent has given notice thereof to the Lenders pursuant to Section 10.3.1 or (ii) the receipt by Administrative Agent of a notice of an Event of Default from any Lender pursuant to Section 10.3.1.
10.4 Rights as a Lender. With respect to its Commitment and the Loans made by it, BankUnited (and any successor acting as Administrative Agent) in its capacity as a Lender hereunder shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not acting as Administrative Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless the context otherwise indicates, include Administrative Agent in its individual capacity. BankUnited (and any successor acting as Administrative Agent) and its Affiliates may (without having to account therefor to any Lender) lend money to, enter into any Secured Swap Agreement or other “swap agreement” as defined in 11 U.S.C. 101 with, make investments in and generally engage in any kind of lending, trust or other business with Borrower (and any of its Affiliates) as if it were not acting as Administrative Agent, and without providing to the Lenders any opportunity to review or approve of any decisions to be made by it with respect thereto and BankUnited and its Affiliates may accept fees and other consideration from Borrower for services in connection with this Agreement or otherwise without having to account for the same to the Lenders. Further, Administrative Agent and any affiliate may accept fees and other consideration from Borrower for services in connection with this Agreement and otherwise without having to account for the same to the other Lenders. The Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, BankUnited or its affiliates may receive information regarding Borrower, other loan parties, other subsidiaries and other Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of such Person) and acknowledge that Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them.
10.5 Standard of Care; Indemnification. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Loan Documents or this Article 10, in performing its duties under the Loan Documents, Administrative Agent will exercise the same degree of care as it normally exercises in connection with real estate loans that it syndicates and administers, but Administrative Agent shall have no further responsibility to any Lender except for its
own gross negligence or willful misconduct which results in actual loss to such Lender, and, except to such extent, Administrative Agent shall have no responsibility to any Lender. The Lenders agree to indemnify Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed under Section 5.28, but without limiting the obligations of Borrower under Section 5.28) ratably in accordance with the aggregate principal amount of the Loans held by the Lenders (or, if no Loans are at the time outstanding, ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments), for any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Administrative Agent (including any of the foregoing that arise from any claims or assertions of any Lender) arising out of or by reason of any investigation in or in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any other documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (including, without limitation, the costs and expenses that Borrower is obligated to pay under Section 5.28, but excluding, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, normal administrative costs and expenses incident to the performance of its agency duties hereunder) or the enforcement of any of the terms hereof or thereof or of any such other documents or any action taken or omitted by Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents, provided that no Lender shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent they arise from Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment provided, however, that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Majority Lenders shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section 10.5. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by Borrower and without limiting the obligation of Borrower to do so) promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of the counsel to Administrative Agent) incurred by Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, administration, or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings, or otherwise) of, or legal advice with respect to the rights or responsibilities of the parties under, the Loan Documents, any suit or action brought by Administrative Agent to enforce the terms of the Loan Documents and/or collect any obligation of Borrower hereunder, any “lender liability” suit or claim brought against Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders, and any claim or suit brought against Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders arising under any Environmental Laws. Such out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel fees) shall be advanced by the Lenders on the request of Administrative Agent notwithstanding any claim or assertion that Administrative Agent is not entitled to indemnification hereunder upon receipt of an undertaking by Administrative Agent that Administrative Agent will reimburse the Lenders if it is actually and finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that Administrative Agent is not so entitled to indemnification. The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder or under the other Loan Documents and the termination of this Agreement. If Borrower shall reimburse Administrative Agent for any of the foregoing amounts following payment by any Lender to Administrative Agent in respect of such amount pursuant to this Section 10.5, then Administrative Agent shall share such reimbursement on a ratable basis with
each Lender making any such payment in accordance with each such Lender’s respective Proportionate Share.
10.6 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender expressly acknowledges and agrees that neither Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, counsel, attorneys-in-fact or other affiliates has made any representations or warranties to such Lender and that no act by Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of Borrower or Affiliate of Borrower, shall be deemed to constitute any such representation or warranty by Administrative Agent to any Lender. Each Lender, for itself, agrees that it has, independently and without reliance on Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis of Borrower and its Affiliates and decision to enter into this Agreement and that it will, independently and without reliance upon Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own analysis and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document. Subject to the provisions of the first sentence of Section 10.5, Administrative Agent shall not be required to keep itself informed as to the performance or observance by Borrower of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or any other document referred to or provided for herein or therein or to inspect the Property or the books of Borrower or any of its Affiliates. Except for notices, reports and other documents and information expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by Administrative Agent hereunder or as otherwise agreed by Administrative Agent and the Lenders, Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the affairs, financial condition or business of Borrower or any of its Affiliates that may come into the possession of Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates. Without limiting the foregoing, Administrative Agent shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. Administrative Agent shall, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have no obligation whatsoever to the Lenders or to any other Person to assure that the Property exists or is owned by Borrower or is cared for, protected or insured or that the Liens granted to Administrative Agent herein or pursuant hereto have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise or to continue exercising at all or in any manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to Administrative Agent in this Article 10 or in any of the Loan Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Property, or any act, omission or event related thereto, Administrative Agent shall have no duty or liability whatsoever to the Lenders, except for actual loss to the extent resulting from its gross negligence or willful misconduct that results in actual loss to a Lender.
10.7 Failure to Act. Except for action expressly required of Administrative Agent hereunder, and under the other Loan Documents, Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to act hereunder and thereunder unless it shall
receive further assurances to its satisfaction from the Lenders of their indemnification obligations under Section 10.5 against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.
10.8 Resignation of Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving notice thereof to the Lenders and Borrower and such resignation shall be effective as of the date indicated in such notice. The Majority Lenders may remove Administrative Agent at any time for gross negligence or willful misconduct by giving at least thirty (30) Business Days’ prior written notice and cure period to Administrative Agent, Borrower and all other Lenders if such gross negligence or willful misconduct is not cured by Administrative Agent within such cure period. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Majority Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent that shall be a Person that meets the qualifications of an Eligible Institution. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Majority Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation or its receipt of notice of removal, then the retiring or removed Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent; provided that if Administrative Agent shall notify Borrower and the Lenders that no Person has accepted such appointment within such thirty (30) day period, then Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal shall nonetheless become effective and (1) the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that, in the case of any collateral security held by Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security (and be entitled, with respect thereto, to all of the rights of Administrative Agent hereunder) until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed and has accepted such collateral security); (2) all payments and communications provided to be made to or through Administrative Agent shall instead be made to each Lender directly in accordance with its applicable Proportionate Share; and (3) all determinations, approvals and communications provided to be made by Administrative Agent shall instead be made by the Majority Lenders (except for such determinations, approvals and communications as are required pursuant to the provisions of Section 10.9 to be made by each of the Lenders or by each affected Lender in which case such determinations, approvals and communications shall be made by each Lender or each affected Lender, as applicable, directly), until such time as the Majority Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent and such successor accepts such appointment as provided for above in this Section. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) or removed Administrative Agent, and the retiring (or retired) or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section 10.8). The fees payable by Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between Borrower and such successor. During the period from the delivery by Administrative Agent of its notice of resignation until the effectiveness of its discharge from its duties and obligations hereunder, and at all times thereafter, the
provisions of this Article and Sections 5.28, 5.29, 11.13 and 11.24 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its subagents and their respective Affiliates in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Administrative Agent and during any period following its resignation as Administrative Agent pending the acceptance by a successor Administrative Agent of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder.
10.9 Consents Under Loan Documents. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, Administrative Agent may (without any Lender’s consent) give or withhold its agreement to any amendments of the Loan Documents or any waivers or consents in respect thereof or exercise or refrain from exercising any other rights or remedies which Administrative Agent may have under the Loan Documents or otherwise provided that such actions do not, in Administrative Agent’s reasonable judgment, materially adversely affect the value of any collateral, taken as a whole, or represent a departure from Administrative Agent’s standard of care described in Section 10.5. Any other amendment, waiver or consent, to be effective, shall require the consent or agreement in writing of the Majority Lenders and Administrative Agent, and any such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Administrative Agent nor the Majority Lenders shall agree to the following (provided that no Lender’s consent shall be required for any of the following which are otherwise required or contemplated under the Loan Documents):
(a) increase the Commitment of any Lender (provided that no such increase shall be deemed to result from the operation of the provisions of this Agreement which contain indemnification obligations of such Lender or obligations of such Lender with respect to the funding of Protective Advances or other sums as more fully provided in Sections 10.3.2, 10.3.4, 10.3.7, 10.5 and 10.12 hereof) without the consent of each Lender affected thereby;
(b) reduce the principal amount of the Loans or reduce the interest rate thereon (exclusive of interest at the Default Rate to the extent it is in excess of interest at the non-Default Rate) or reduce any extension fee payable pursuant to Section 2.8.1(e) and/or (f) without the consent of each Lender affected thereby;
(c) extend any stated payment date for principal of or interest on the Loans payable to any Lender (other than extension of the date for any mandatory prepayment) or waive any material condition to the extension of the Maturity Date provided for in Section 2.8 without the consent of each Lender affected thereby;
(d) release Borrower, any Guarantor or any other party from liability under the Loan Documents (except for any assigning Lender pursuant to Section 11.20 and any resigning Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 10.8 and provided that any decision to waive or modify any affirmative, negative or financial covenant shall not be deemed a “release” for these purposes and may be granted by the Majority Lenders, and any decision to waive or release Guarantor from liability with respect to its exposure under the Guaranty of Recourse Obligations for the matters referenced in Section 1.01 thereof may be granted by the Majority Lenders) without the consent of each Lender (except that
no such consent shall be required, and Administrative Agent is hereby authorized, to release Borrower and Guarantor (A) as expressly provided in the Loan Documents and (B) upon payment of the Loan in full in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents);
(e) release or subordinate in whole or in part any material portion of the collateral given as security for the Loans without the consent of each Lender (except that no such consent shall be required, and Administrative Agent is hereby authorized, to release any Lien covering the collateral under the Mortgage and other Loan Documents (A) as expressly provided in the Loan Documents and (B) upon payment of the Loan in full in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents);
(f) modify any of the provisions of this Section 10.9, the definition of “Majority Lenders” or any other provision in the Loan Documents specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights thereunder or make any determination or grant any consent thereunder without the consent of each Lender;
(g) modify the terms of any Event of Default without the consent of each Lender; or
(h) consent to (i) the sale, transfer or encumbrance by Borrower of any portion of the Property (or any interest therein) or any direct or indirect ownership interest therein, except as otherwise provided in Section 5.25 and (ii) the incurrence by Borrower of any additional indebtedness secured by the Property, in each case to the extent such consent is required under the Loan Documents (and subject to any standard of reasonability set forth therein) without the consent of each Lender.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, (w) any modification or supplement of Article 10, or of any of the rights or duties of Administrative Agent hereunder, shall require the consent of Administrative Agent, (x) any modification or supplement of any rights or obligations in respect of any Secured Swap Agreement shall require the consent of Administrative Agent; (y) any modification or supplement of any rights or obligations in respect of Sole Lead Arranger or Sole Bookrunner shall require the consent of Sole Lead Arranger or Sole Bookrunner, respectively; and (z) Administrative Agent and Borrower are hereby authorized to enter into modifications or amendments to the Loan Documents which are ministerial in nature, including the preparation and execution of Uniform Commercial Code forms, Assignments and Assumptions and subordination and non-disturbance agreements with tenants at the Property. If Administrative Agent solicits any consents or approvals from the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, each Lender shall within ten (10) Business Days of receiving such request, give Administrative Agent written notice of its consent or approval or denial thereof; provided that, if any Lender does not respond within such ten (10) Business Days, such Lender shall be deemed to have authorized Administrative Agent to vote such Lender’s interest with respect to the matter which was the subject of Administrative Agent’s solicitation as Administrative Agent elects. Any such solicitation by Administrative Agent for a consent or approval shall be in writing and shall include a description of the matter or thing as to which such consent or approval is requested and
shall include Administrative Agent’s recommended course of action or determination in respect thereof.
10.10 Authorization. Administrative Agent is hereby authorized by the Lenders to execute, deliver and perform in accordance with the terms of each of the Loan Documents to which Administrative Agent is or is intended to be a party and each Lender agrees to be bound by all of the agreements of Administrative Agent contained in such Loan Documents. Borrower shall be entitled to rely on all written agreements, approvals and consents received from Administrative Agent as being that also of the Lenders, without obtaining separate acknowledgment or proof of authorization of same.
10.11 Agency Fee. So long as the Commitments are in effect and until payment in full of all obligations under this Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents, Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent, for its sole account, the Agency Fee in accordance with the Fee Letter. The Agency Fee shall be payable on the date hereof and annually on each anniversary of the date hereof pursuant to the Fee Letter. Borrower agrees that, once paid, the Agency Fee or any part thereof payable hereunder shall not be refundable under any circumstances.
10.12 Defaulting Lenders.
10.12.1 Generally. A Lender shall be a “Defaulting Lender” hereunder if it (a) shall for any reason fail to (i) make any respective Loan required pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or (ii) pay its Proportionate Share of any advance pursuant to Sections 10.3.2, 10.3.4 or 10.3.7 or any Protective Advance, or any advance otherwise made or requested by Administrative Agent to be made in connection with the exercise by Administrative Agent of any of its remedies hereunder, or of any indemnification payment required pursuant to Section 10.5, and such failure shall continue for a period of two (2) Business Days following the delivery of written notice thereof by Administrative Agent to such Lender; (b) shall assign or transfer its interest hereunder or in or to its Loan or Commitment in violation of Section 11.20; (c) shall exercise any rights of set-off in violation of Section 11.21; (d) has notified Borrower or Administrative Agent in writing that it does not intend to comply with its funding obligations hereunder, or has made a public statement to that effect (unless such writing or public statement relates to such Lender’s obligation to fund a Loan hereunder and states that such position is based on such Lender’s determination that a condition precedent to funding (which condition precedent, together with any applicable default, shall be specifically identified in such writing or public statement) cannot be satisfied); (e) has failed, within three (3) Business Days after written request by Administrative Agent or Borrower, to confirm in writing to Administrative Agent and Borrower that it will comply with its prospective funding obligations hereunder (provided that such Lender shall cease to be a Defaulting Lender pursuant to this clause (e) upon receipt of such written confirmation by Administrative Agent and Borrower); or (f) has, or has a direct or indirect parent company that has, (i) become the subject of a proceeding under any debtor relief law, or (ii) had appointed for it a receiver, custodian, conservator, trustee, administrator, assignee for the benefit of creditors or similar Person charged with reorganization or liquidation of its business or assets, including the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
or any other state or federal regulatory authority acting in such a capacity; provided that a Lender shall not be a Defaulting Lender solely by virtue of the ownership or acquisition of any equity interest in that Lender or any direct or indirect parent company thereof by a Governmental Authority so long as such ownership interest does not result in or provide such Lender with immunity from the jurisdiction of courts within the United States or from the enforcement of judgments or writs of attachment on its assets or permit such Lender (or such Governmental Authority) to reject, repudiate, disavow or disaffirm any contracts or agreements made with such Lender. Any determination by Administrative Agent that a Lender is a Defaulting Lender under one or more of clauses (a) through (f) above shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error, and such Lender shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender upon delivery of written notice of such determination to each Borrower and each Lender. If for any reason a Lender fails to make timely payment to Administrative Agent of any amount required to be paid to Administrative Agent hereunder (without giving effect to any notice or cure periods), in addition to other rights and remedies which Administrative Agent or Borrower may have under the immediately preceding provisions or otherwise, Administrative Agent shall be entitled (i) to collect interest from such Defaulting Lender on such delinquent payment for the period from the date on which the payment was due until the date on which the payment is made at the Federal Funds Rate, (ii) to withhold or setoff and to apply in satisfaction of the defaulted payment and any related interest, any amounts otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (iii) to bring an action or suit against such Defaulting Lender in a court of competent jurisdiction to recover the defaulted amount and any related interest. Any amounts received by Administrative Agent in respect of a Defaulting Lender’s Loans shall not be paid to such Defaulting Lender and shall be held uninvested by Administrative Agent and either applied against the purchase price of such Loan under the following Section 10.12.2 or paid to such Defaulting Lender upon the Defaulting Lender’s curing of its default.
10.12.2 Purchase or Cancellation of Defaulting Lender’s Commitment. Any Lender who is not a Defaulting Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, in its sole discretion, to acquire by assignment all of a Defaulting Lender’s Commitments. Any Lender desiring to exercise such right shall give written notice thereof to Administrative Agent and Borrower no sooner than two (2) Business Days and not later than five (5) Business Days after such Defaulting Lender became a Defaulting Lender. If more than one Lender exercises such right, each such Lender shall have the right to acquire an amount of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitments in proportion to the respective Commitments of the Lenders exercising such right. If after such fifth (5th) Business Day, the Lenders have not elected to acquire all of the Commitments of such Defaulting Lender, then Borrower may (but shall not be obligated to), by giving written notice thereof to Administrative Agent, such Defaulting Lender and the other Lenders, demand that such Defaulting Lender assign its Commitments to an assignee subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.20 for the purchase price provided for below. Upon any such assignment, the Defaulting Lender’s interest in the Loan and its rights hereunder (but not its liability in respect thereof or under the Loan Documents to the extent the same relate to the period prior to the effective date of the purchase) shall terminate on the date of purchase, and the Defaulting Lender shall promptly execute all documents reasonably requested to surrender and transfer such interest to the purchaser
or assignee thereof, including an appropriate Assignment and Acceptance Agreement and, notwithstanding Section 11.20, shall pay to Administrative Agent an assignment fee in the amount of $10,000. The purchase price for the Commitments of a Defaulting Lender shall be equal to the amount of the principal balance of the Loan outstanding and owed by Borrower to the Defaulting Lender plus interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to such Defaulting Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. Prior to payment of such purchase price to a Defaulting Lender, Administrative Agent shall apply against such purchase price any amounts retained by Administrative Agent pursuant to the last sentence of the immediately preceding Section 10.12.1.
10.12.3 Optional Advance by Lender of Defaulting Lender’s Proportionate Share. If a Defaulting Lender shall for any reason fail to (i) make any respective Loan required pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or (ii) pay its Proportionate Share of a Protective Advance, any of the other Lenders may, but shall not be obligated to, make all or a portion of the Defaulting Lender’s Loan or Proportionate Share of such advance, provided that such Lender gives the Defaulting Lender and Administrative Agent prior notice of its intention to do so. The right to make such advances in respect of the Defaulting Lender shall be exercisable first by the Lender holding the greatest Proportionate Share and thereafter to each of the Lenders in descending order of their respective Proportionate Shares of the Loans or in such other manner as the Majority Lenders (excluding the Defaulting Lender) may agree on. Any Lender making all or any portion of the Defaulting Lender’s Proportionate Share of the applicable Loan or advance in accordance with the foregoing terms and conditions shall be referred to as a “Special Advance Lender”.
10.12.4 Special Advance Lender. In any case where a Lender becomes a Special Advance Lender, the Special Advance Lender shall be deemed to have purchased, and the Defaulting Lender shall be deemed to have sold, a senior participation in the Defaulting Lender’s respective Loan to the extent of the amount so advanced or disbursed (the “Advanced Amount”) bearing interest (including interest at the Default Rate, if applicable). It is expressly understood and agreed that each of the respective obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including advancing Loans, losses incurred in connection with the Loan, costs and expenses of enforcement, advancing to preserve the Lien of the Mortgage or to preserve and protect the Property, shall be without regard to any adjustment in the Proportionate Shares occasioned by the acts of a Defaulting Lender. The Special Advance Lender shall be entitled to an amount (the “Unpaid Amount”) equal to the applicable Advanced Amount, plus any unpaid interest due and owing with respect thereto, less any repayments thereof made by the Defaulting Lender immediately upon demand. The Defaulting Lender shall have the right to repurchase the senior participation in its Loan from the Special Advance Lender, pro rata if there is more than one Special Advance Lender, at any time by the payment of the Unpaid Amount.
10.12.5 Notice Requirements. A Special Advance Lender shall (i) give notice to the Defaulting Lender, Administrative Agent and each of the other Lenders (provided that failure to deliver said notice to any party other than the Defaulting Lender
shall not constitute a default under this Agreement) of the Advanced Amount and the percentage of the Special Advance Lender’s senior participation in the Defaulting Lender’s Loan and (ii) in the event of the repayment of any of the Unpaid Amount by the Defaulting Lender, give notice to the Defaulting Lender and Administrative Agent of the fact that the Unpaid Amount has been repaid (in whole or in part), the amount of such repayment and, if applicable, the revised percentage of the Special Advance Lender’s senior participation. Provided that Administrative Agent has received notice of such participation, Administrative Agent shall have the same obligations to distribute interest, principal and other sums received by Administrative Agent with respect to a Special Advance Lender’s senior participation as Administrative Agent has with respect to the distribution of interest, principal and other sums under this Agreement; and at the time of making any distributions to the Lenders, shall make payments to the Special Advance Lender with respect to a Special Advance Lender’s senior participation in the Defaulting Lender’s Loan out of the Defaulting Lender’s share of any such distributions.
10.12.6 Special Advance Lender’s Rights to Sums Paid to Defaulting Lender. A Defaulting Lender shall immediately pay to a Special Advance Lender all sums of any kind paid to or received by the Defaulting Lender from Borrower, whether pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or in connection with the realization of the security therefor until the Unpaid Amount is fully repaid. Notwithstanding the fact that the Defaulting Lender may temporarily hold such sums, the Defaulting Lender shall be deemed to hold same as a trustee for the benefit of the Special Advance Lender, it being the express intention of the Lenders that the Special Advance Lender shall have an ownership interest in such sums to the extent of the Unpaid Amount.
10.12.7 Defaulting Lender’s Indemnification of Administrative Agent and Lenders. Each Defaulting Lender shall indemnify, defend and hold Administrative Agent, the Borrower and each of the other Lenders harmless from and against any and all losses, damages, liabilities or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and interest at the Default Rate) which they may sustain or incur by reason of the Defaulting Lender’s failure or refusal to abide by its obligations under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. Administrative Agent shall, after payment of any amounts due to any Special Advance Lender pursuant to the terms of Section 10.12.3 above, set-off against any payments due to such Defaulting Lender for the claims of Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the other Lenders pursuant to this indemnity.
10.12.8 Subordination of Rights of Defaulting Lender. Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary, until such time as a Defaulting Lender has funded its Proportionate Share of any advance described in Sections 10.3.2, 10.3.4, 10.3.7 or 10.5 or prior Loan disbursement which was previously a Non-Pro Rata Advance (including through the funding thereof on its behalf by a Special Advance Lender), or all other Lenders have received payment in full (whether by repayment or prepayment) of the amounts due in respect of such Non-Pro Rata Advance, all of the indebtedness and obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender hereunder shall be subordinated in right of payment, as provided in the following sentence, to the prior
payment in full of all principal, interest and fees in respect of all Non-Pro Rata Advances in which the Defaulting Lender has not funded its Proportionate Share (including through the funding thereof on its behalf by a Special Advance Lender) (such principal, interest and fees being referred to as “Senior Loans”). All amounts paid by Borrower and otherwise due to be applied to the indebtedness and obligations owing to the Defaulting Lender pursuant to the terms hereof shall be distributed by Administrative Agent to the other Lenders in accordance with their respective Proportionate Shares of the Loan (recalculated for purposes hereof to exclude the Defaulting Lender’s Proportionate Share of the Loan), until all Senior Loans have been paid in full. This provision governs only the relationship among Administrative Agent, each Defaulting Lender, and the other Lenders; nothing hereunder shall limit the obligations of Borrower under this Agreement. The provisions of this paragraph shall apply and be effective regardless of whether a Default occurs and is then continuing, and notwithstanding (i) any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, (ii) any instruction of Borrower as to its desired application of payments or (iii) the suspension of such Defaulting Lender’s right to vote on matters which are subject to the consent or approval of Majority Lenders or all Lenders. The failure of any Defaulting Lender to timely receive any amounts otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents on account of the provisions of this paragraph shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default.
10.12.9 Removal of Rights. A Defaulting Lender shall have no voting rights or rights to grant any consent or approval whatsoever under this Agreement or any other Loan Documents (including, without limitation, under Section 10.9 of this Agreement) and shall not be considered in the calculation of “Majority Lenders” so long as it is a Defaulting Lender. This Section shall remain effective with respect to a Defaulting Lender until such time as the Defaulting Lender shall no longer be in default of any of its obligations under this Agreement by curing such default with the consent of the non-Defaulting Lenders. Such Defaulting Lender nonetheless shall be bound by any amendment to or waiver of any provision of, or any consent, approval or other action granted, taken or omitted to be taken by Administrative Agent and/or the non-Defaulting Lenders under any Loan Document which is made subsequent to that Lender’s becoming a Defaulting Lender and prior to such cure or waiver.
10.13 Liability of Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent shall not have any liabilities or responsibilities to Borrower on account of the failure of any Lender (other than Administrative Agent in its capacity as a Lender) to perform its obligations hereunder or to any Lender on account of the failure of Borrower to perform its obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document.
10.14 Transfer of Agency Function. Without the consent of Borrower or any Lender, Administrative Agent may at any time or from time to time transfer its functions as Administrative Agent hereunder to any of its Affiliates or offices wherever located in the United States; provided that Administrative Agent shall promptly notify Borrower and the Lenders thereof.
10.15 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code, as amended from time to time, or other
similar debtor relief laws or any other judicial proceeding relative to Borrower, Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the Loans shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:
(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loan and all other obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and Administrative Agent under Section 2.2 and Section 5.28) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and
(b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims for the account of the Lenders and to distribute the same in accordance with this Agreement;
and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to Administrative Agent and, if Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due Administrative Agent under Section 2.2 and Section 5.28.
Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the obligations or the rights of any Lender or to authorize Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender or in any such proceeding.
10.16 USA Patriot Act Notice; Compliance. In order for Administrative Agent to comply with the USA Patriot Act of 2001 (Public Law 107-56), prior to any Lender that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside of the United States of America becoming a party hereto, Administrative Agent may request, and such Lender shall provide to Administrative Agent, its name, address, tax identification number and/or such other identification information as shall be necessary for Administrative Agent to comply with federal law.
10.17 Several Obligations; No Liability, No Release. Notwithstanding that certain of the Loan Documents now or hereafter may have been or will be executed only by or in favor of Administrative Agent in its capacity as such, and not by or in favor of Lenders, any and all obligations on the part of Administrative Agent (if any) to make any advances of the Loans or reimbursements for other Lender Funding Amounts shall constitute the several (and not joint) obligations of the respective Lenders on a ratable
basis, according to their respective Proportionate Shares. Except as may be specifically provided in this Agreement, no Lender shall have any liability for the acts of any other Lender. No Lender shall be responsible to Borrower or any other person for any failure by any other Lender to fulfill its obligations to make advances of the Loans or reimbursements for other Lender Funding Amounts, nor to take any other action on its behalf hereunder or in connection with the financing contemplated herein. The failure of any Lender to pay to Administrative Agent its Proportionate Share of a Lender Funding Amount shall not relieve any other Lender of any obligation hereunder to pay to Administrative Agent its Proportionate Share of such Lender Funding Amounts as and when required herein, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so fund its Proportionate Share of the Lender Funding Amount. In furtherance of the foregoing, Lenders shall comply with their obligation to pay Administrative Agent their Proportionate Share of such Lender Funding Amounts regardless of (i) the occurrence of any Event of Default hereunder or under any Loan Document; (ii) any failure of consideration, absence of consideration, misrepresentation, fraud, or any other event, failure, deficiency, breach or irregularity of any nature whatsoever in the Loan Documents; or (iii) any bankruptcy, insolvency or other like event with regard to Borrower or any Guarantor. The obligation of Lenders to pay to such Lender Funding Amounts are in all regards independent of any claims between Administrative Agent and any Lender.
10.18 No Reliance on Administrative Agent's Customer Identification Program. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that neither such Lender, nor any of its Affiliates, participants or assignees, may rely on Administrative Agent to carry out such Lender's, Affiliate's, participant's or assignee's customer identification program, or other obligations required or imposed under or pursuant to the USA PATRIOT Act or the regulations thereunder, including the regulations contained in 31 CFR 1020.220 (as hereafter amended or replaced, the “CIP Regulations”), or any other Anti-Terrorism Law, including any programs involving any of the following items relating to or in connection with Borrower or any other loan parties, their Affiliates or their agents, the Loan Documents or the transactions hereunder or contemplated hereby: (i) any identity verification procedures, (ii) any recordkeeping, (iii) comparisons with government lists, (iv) customer notices or (v) other procedures required under the CIP Regulations or such other Anti-Terrorism Law.
10.19 [Reserved].
10.20 Arranger; Bookrunner. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, neither the Sole Lead Arranger nor the Sole Bookrunner listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as Administrative Agent or a Lender hereunder.
10.21 Return of Payments.
(a) Each Lender hereby agrees that (x) if Administrative Agent notifies such Lender that Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion that any funds received by such Lender from Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates (whether as a
payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees or otherwise; individually and collectively, a “Payment”) were erroneously transmitted to such Lender (whether or not known to such Lender), and demands the return of such Payment (or a portion thereof), such Lender shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter, return to Administrative Agent the amount of any such Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to Administrative Agent at the greater of the federal funds rate and a rate determined by Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect, and (y) to the extent permitted by applicable law, such Lender shall not assert, and hereby waives, as to Administrative Agent, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by Administrative Agent for the return of any Payments received, including without limitation any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine. A notice of Administrative Agent to any Lender under this Section 10.21 shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
(b) Each Lender hereby further agrees that if it receives a Payment from Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment sent by Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such Payment (a “Payment Notice”) or (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a Payment Notice, it shall be on notice, in each such case, that an error has been made with respect to such Payment. Each Lender agrees that, in each such case, or if it otherwise becomes aware a Payment (or portion thereof) may have been sent in error, such Lender shall promptly notify Administrative Agent of such occurrence and, upon demand from Administrative Agent, it shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter, return to Administrative Agent the amount of any such Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to Administrative Agent at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect.
(c) Borrower and each Guarantor hereby agrees that (x) in the event an erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) are not recovered from any Lender that has received such Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights of such Lender with respect to such amount and (y) an erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by Borrower or any Guarantor; provided, however, this Section 10.21 shall not be interpreted to increase (or accelerate the due date for), or have the effect of increasing (or accelerating the due date for), the Obligations of Borrower or any Guarantor relative to the amount (or timing for payment) of the Obligations that would have been payable had such erroneous Payment not been made by the Administrative Agent; provided, further, that immediately preceding clauses (x) and (y) shall not apply to the extent any such erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such
erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from, or on behalf of (including through the exercise of remedies under any Loan Document), Borrower or any Guarantor for the purpose of a payment on the Obligations.
(d) Each party’s obligations under this Section shall survive the resignation or replacement of Administrative Agent or any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations under any Loan Document.
11. MISCELLANEOUS
11.1 Recourse.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Administrative Agent nor Lender shall take any action against GSI Guarantor until Administrative Agent or Lender, as applicable, pursues its rights and remedies against Borrower for no less than 120 days after the occurrence of the applicable Event of Default. For certainty, the remainder of this Section 11.1 below shall not apply to Parent Borrower.
(b) Subject to the qualifications below, neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall enforce the liability and obligation of Property-Owning Borrower to perform and observe the obligations contained in the Loan Documents by any action or proceeding wherein a money judgment shall be sought against Property-Owning Borrower, except that Administrative Agent may bring a foreclosure action, an action for specific performance or any other appropriate action or proceeding to enable Administrative Agent and the Lenders to enforce and realize upon its interest and rights under the Loan Documents, or in the Property, the Rents or any other collateral given to Lenders pursuant to the Loan Documents; provided, however, that, except as specifically provided herein, any judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be enforceable against Property-Owning Borrower only to the extent of Property-Owning Borrower’s interest in the Property, in the Rents and in any other collateral given to Lenders, and neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall sue for, seek or demand any deficiency judgment against Property-Owning Borrower in any such action or proceeding under or by reason of or under or in connection with any Loan Document. The provisions of this Section 11.1(b) shall not, however, (i) constitute a waiver, release or impairment of any obligation evidenced or secured by any Loan Document; (ii) impair the right of Administrative Agent or any Lender to name Property-Owning Borrower as a party defendant in any action or suit for foreclosure and sale under the Mortgage; (iii) affect the
validity or enforceability of any of the Loan Documents or any guaranty made in connection with the Loan or any of the rights and remedies of Administrative Agent or the Lenders thereunder; (iv) impair the right of Administrative Agent to obtain the appointment of a receiver; (v) impair the enforcement of the Assignment of Leases and Rents; (vi) constitute a prohibition against Administrative Agent or any Lender to commence any other appropriate action or proceeding in order for Lenders to fully realize the security granted by the Mortgage or to exercise its remedies against the Property; (vi) limit any rights of Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders under the guaranty delivered by the Guarantor in connection with the Loan; or (vii) constitute a waiver of the right of Administrative Agent or any Lender to enforce the liability and obligation of Property-Owning Borrower, by money judgment or otherwise, to the extent of any loss, damage, cost, expense, liability, claim or other obligation incurred by Administrative Agent or any Lender (including attorneys’ fees and costs reasonably incurred) arising out of or in connection with the following (all such liability and obligation of Property-Owning Borrower for any or all of the following being referred to herein as “Property-Owning Borrower’s Recourse Liabilities”):
(c) fraud or material misrepresentation by Property-Owning Borrower or Guarantor in connection with obtaining the Loan;
(d) any act or omission of Property-Owning Borrower, Guarantor, or any Affiliate of Property-Owning Borrower or Guarantor or any of their respective agents or representatives which results in physical waste of the Property or any portion thereof, or after an Event of Default the removal or disposal of any portion of the Property or damage or destruction to the Property caused by the acts or omissions of Property-Owning Borrower, its agents, employees or contractors;
(e) any Proceeds paid by reason of any Insured Casualty or any Award received in connection with a Condemnation or other sums or payments attributable to the Property not applied in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Documents (except to the extent that Property-Owning Borrower did not have the legal right, because of a bankruptcy, receivership or similar judicial proceeding, to direct disbursement of such sums or payments);
(f) all Rents of the Property received or collected by or on behalf of Property-Owning Borrower during the continuance of an Event of Default and not applied to payment of the Debt, or to the payment of actual and reasonable operating expenses of the Property, as they become due or payable (except to the extent that such application of such funds is prevented by bankruptcy, receivership, or similar judicial proceeding in which Property-Owning Borrower is legally prevented from directing the disbursement of such sums);
(g) misappropriation (including failure to turn over to Administrative Agent on demand following an Event of Default) of tenant security deposits and rents collected in advance, or of funds held by Property-Owning Borrower for the benefit of another party;
(h) the failure to pay Taxes (unless Administrative Agent is paying such Taxes pursuant to Section 2.16 and Borrower has fully complied with the terms of such Section);
(i) the breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or indemnification in any Loan Document concerning Environmental Laws or Hazardous Substances;
(j) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Property-Owning Borrower, any Guarantor, or any Person that Controls Property-Owning Borrower or any Guarantor;
(k) the commission of a criminal act by Property-Owning Borrower, any Guarantor, or any Person that Controls or owns any direct or indirect interest in Property-Owning Borrower or any Guarantor, or any employee or agent of the foregoing related to conduct during the course of their roles as employees or agents;
(l) Property-Owning Borrower’s failure to maintain insurance as required by this Agreement (unless Administrative Agent is paying insurance premiums on Property-Owning Borrower’s behalf pursuant to Section 7.1.2 of this Agreement or otherwise and Borrower has fully complied with the terms of such Section);
(m) Property-Owning Borrower’s failure to pay for any loss, liability or expense (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by Administrative Agent or any Lender arising out of any claim or allegation made by Property-Owning Borrower, its successors or assigns, or any creditor of Property-Owning Borrower, that this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents establish a joint venture, partnership or other similar arrangement between Property-Owning Borrower, Administrative Agent and any Lender;
(n) any brokerage commission or finder’s fees claimed in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents;
(o) failure to pay charges for labor or materials or other charges that can create Liens on any portion of the Property unless such charges are the subject of a bona fide dispute in which Property-Owning Borrower is contesting the amount or validity thereof; or
(p) a breach of the covenants set forth in Section 4.13 hereof where there has not been a substantive consolidation of Property-Owning Borrower into another entity or Person.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, (A) neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall be deemed to have waived any right which Administrative Agent and the Lenders may have under Section 506(a), 506(b), 1111(b) or any other provisions of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code to file a claim for the full amount of the Debt or to require that all collateral shall continue to secure all of the Debt in accordance with the Loan Documents, and (B) Administrative Agent’s and the Lenders’
agreement not to pursue personal liability of Property-Owning Borrower as set forth above SHALL BECOME NULL AND VOID and shall be of no further force and effect, and the Debt shall be fully recourse to Property-Owning Borrower in the event that one or more of the following occurs (each, a “Springing Recourse Event”): (i) an Event of Default described in Section 8.1(d) shall have occurred or (ii) a breach of the covenants set forth in Section 4.13 hereof that results in substantive consolidation of Property-Owning Borrower into another entity or Person, or (iii) the occurrence of any condition or event described in either Section 8.1(f) or Section 8.1(g) and, with respect to such condition or event described in Section 8.1(g), either Property-Owning Borrower, Guarantor or any Person owning an interest (directly or indirectly) in Property-Owning Borrower or Guarantor consents to, aids, solicits, supports, or otherwise cooperates or colludes to cause such condition or event or fails to contest such condition or event, or (iv) Property-Owning Borrower creates, incurs, assumes, permits or suffers to exist any Lien on all or any portion of the Property or any direct or indirect legal or beneficial ownership interest in Property-Owning Borrower, excepting only the Permitted Encumbrances, or incurs any indebtedness other than the Permitted Indebtedness or (v) an act or omission of any of Property-Owning Borrower or Guarantor or Affiliate of Property-Owning Borrower or Guarantor which hinders, delays or interferes with Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s enforcement of its rights hereunder or under any other Loan Document or the realization of the collateral, including the assertion by any of Property-Owning Borrower or Guarantor of defenses or counterclaims.
Lenders acknowledge that as of the date of this Agreement, Borrower does not own the Post-Closing Property and therefore Lenders agree that each Borrower acquiring a Post-Closing Property shall not be deemed to be a Property-Owning Borrower and no Springing-Recourse Event can occur with respect to the Post-Closing Property until such time as such Borrower acquires the Post-Closing Property and Lenders fund the Future Advance Amount of the Loan.
11.2 Brokers and Financial Advisors. Borrower hereby represents that it has dealt with no financial advisors, brokers, underwriters, placement agents, agents or finders in connection with the Loan whose fees shall be paid by Borrower pursuant to a separate agreement. Borrower shall indemnify and hold Administrative Agent and the Lenders harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees, whether incurred in connection with enforcing this indemnity or defending claims of third parties) of any kind in any way relating to or arising from a claim by any Person that such Person acted on behalf of Borrower in connection with the transactions contemplated herein. The provisions of this Section 11.2 shall survive the expiration and termination of this Agreement and the repayment of the Debt.
11.3 Survival. This Agreement and all covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made herein and in the certificates delivered pursuant hereto shall survive the making by Lenders of the Loan and the execution and delivery to Lenders of the Notes, and shall continue in full force and effect so long as any of the Debt is unpaid or such longer period if expressly set forth in this Agreement. All Borrower’s covenants and agreements in this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the respective legal representatives, successors and assigns of Administrative Agent and respective Lenders.
11.4 Administrative Agent’s Discretion. Whenever pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Administrative Agent exercises any right given to it to approve or disapprove, or consent or withhold consent, or any arrangement or term is to be satisfactory to Administrative Agent or is to be in Administrative Agent’s discretion, the decision of Administrative Agent to approve or disapprove, to consent or withhold consent, or to decide whether arrangements or terms are satisfactory or not satisfactory, or acceptable or unacceptable or in Administrative Agent’s discretion shall (except as is otherwise specifically herein provided) be in the sole discretion of Administrative Agent and shall be final and conclusive..
11.5 Governing Law.

(b) ANY LEGAL SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING AGAINST ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY LENDER OR BORROWER ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE INSTITUTED IN ANY FEDERAL OR STATE COURT IN NEW YORK COUNTY, STATE OF NEW YORK AND BORROWER WAIVES ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING, AND BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF ANY SUCH COURT IN ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING. BORROWER DOES HEREBY DESIGNATE AND APPOINT GREYSTONE & CO., ATTN: GENERAL COUNSEL AT 152 WEST 57TH STREET, 60TH FLOOR, NY, NY 10019, AS ITS AUTHORIZED AGENT TO ACCEPT AND ACKNOWLEDGE ON ITS BEHALF SERVICE OF ANY AND ALL PROCESS WHICH MAY BE SERVED IN ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY FEDERAL OR STATE COURT IN NEW YORK, AND AGREES THAT SERVICE OF PROCESS UPON SAID AGENT AT SAID ADDRESS AND WRITTEN NOTICE OF SAID SERVICE OF BORROWER MAILED OR DELIVERED TO BORROWER IN THE MANNER PROVIDED HEREIN SHALL BE DEEMED IN EVERY RESPECT EFFECTIVE SERVICE OF PROCESS UPON BORROWER (UNLESS LOCAL LAW REQUIRES ANOTHER METHOD OF SERVICE), IN ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK. BORROWER (I) SHALL GIVE PROMPT NOTICE TO ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OF ANY CHANGED ADDRESS

11.6 Modification, Waiver in Writing. Subject as among the Lenders and Administrative Agent to Section 10.9, no modification, amendment, extension, discharge, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or of any other Loan Document, nor consent to any departure by Borrower therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in a writing signed by the party against whom enforcement is sought, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance, and for the purpose, for which given. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no notice to or demand on Borrower shall entitle Borrower to any other or future notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances. Neither any failure nor any delay on the part of Administrative Agent or any Lender in insisting upon strict performance of any term, condition, covenant or agreement, or exercising any right, power, remedy or privilege hereunder, or under any other Loan Document, shall operate as or constitute a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other future exercise, or the exercise of any other right, power, remedy or privilege. In particular, and not by way of limitation, by accepting payment after the due date of any amount payable under any Loan Document, neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall be deemed to have waived any right either to require prompt payment when due of all other amounts due under the Loan Documents, or to declare an Event of Default for failure to effect prompt payment of any such other amount.
11.7 Trial by Jury. BORROWER, ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE LENDERS HEREBY AGREE NOT TO ELECT A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY ISSUE TRIABLE OF RIGHT BY JURY, AND WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY FULLY TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY SUCH RIGHT SHALL NOW OR HEREAFTER EXIST WITH REGARD TO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR ANY CLAIM, COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER ACTION ARISING IN CONNECTION THEREWITH. THIS WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IS GIVEN KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY BY BORROWER, ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE LENDERS, AND IS INTENDED TO ENCOMPASS INDIVIDUALLY EACH INSTANCE AND EACH ISSUE AS TO WHICH THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY WOULD OTHERWISE ACCRUE. EITHER PARTY IS HEREBY AUTHORIZED TO FILE A COPY OF THIS PARAGRAPH IN ANY PROCEEDING AS CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OF THIS WAIVER BY THE OTHER.
11.8 Headings, Schedules and Exhibits. The Section headings in this Agreement are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purpose. The Schedules, Exhibits and any other addenda or attachments attached hereto are hereby incorporated fully into this Agreement by this reference as a substantive part of this Agreement with the same force and effect as if set forth in the body hereof.
11.9 Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable Legal Requirements, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable Legal Requirements, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.
11.10 Preferences. Upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, Administrative Agent shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply or reverse and reapply any and all payments by Borrower to any portion of the Debt. To the extent Borrower makes a payment to Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, or Administrative Agent receives proceeds of any collateral, which is in whole or part subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or proceeds received, the Debt or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continue in full force and effect, as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by Administrative Agent. This provision shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement and the repayment of the Debt.
11.11 Waiver of Notice. Borrower shall not be entitled to any notices of any nature whatsoever from Administrative Agent except with respect to matters for which this Agreement or any other Loan Document specifically and expressly requires the giving of notice by Administrative Agent to Borrower and except with respect to matters for which Borrower is not, pursuant to applicable Legal Requirements, permitted to waive the giving of notice. Borrower hereby expressly waives the right to receive any notice from Administrative Agent with respect to any matter for which no Loan Document specifically and expressly requires the giving of notice by Administrative Agent to Borrower.
11.12 Remedies of Borrower. If a claim or adjudication is made that Administrative Agent or any of its agents has acted unreasonably or unreasonably delayed acting in any case where by law or under any Loan Document, Administrative Agent or any such agent, as the case may be, has an obligation to act reasonably or promptly, Borrower agrees that neither Administrative Agent nor its agents shall be liable for any monetary damages, and Borrower’s sole remedy shall be to commence an action seeking injunctive relief or declaratory judgment. Any action or proceeding to determine whether Administrative Agent has acted reasonably shall be determined by an action seeking declaratory judgment. Borrower specifically waives any claim against Administrative Agent and its agents with respect to actions taken by Administrative Agent or its agents on Borrower’s behalf.
11.13 Prior Agreements. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to Administrative Agent, contain the entire agreement of the parties hereto and thereto in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and all prior agreements, understandings and negotiations among or between such parties, whether oral or written, are superseded by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
11.14 Offsets, Counterclaims and Defenses. Borrower hereby waives the right to assert a counterclaim, other than a compulsory counterclaim, in any action or proceeding brought against it by Administrative Agent, the Lenders or their respective agents, including Servicer, or otherwise offset any obligations to make payments required under the Loan Documents. Any assignee of Administrative Agent or any Lender’s interest in and to the Loan Documents shall take the same free and clear of all offsets, counterclaims or defenses which Borrower may otherwise have against any assignor of such documents, and no such offset, counterclaim or defense shall be interposed or asserted by Borrower in any action or proceeding brought by any such assignee upon such documents, and any such right to interpose or assert any such offset, counterclaim or defense in any such action or proceeding is hereby expressly waived by Borrower.
11.15 Publicity. All news releases, publicity or advertising by Borrower or its Affiliates through any media intended to reach the general public, which refers to the Loan Documents, the Loan, Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Affiliate of Administrative Agent or any Lender or a Loan purchaser, shall be subject to the prior express written approval of Administrative Agent, other than any public filings or disclosures required by or otherwise filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Administrative Agent shall have the right to issue any of the foregoing without Borrower’s approval.
11.16 No Usury. Borrower and Lenders intend at all times to comply with applicable state law or applicable United States federal law (to the extent that it permits Lenders to contract for, charge, take, reserve or receive a greater amount of interest than under state law) and that this Section 11.16 shall control every other agreement in the Loan Documents. If the applicable Legal Requirements (state or federal) is ever judicially interpreted so as to render usurious any amount called for under the Note or any other Loan Document, or contracted for, charged, taken, reserved or received with respect to the Debt, or if Administrative Agent’s exercise of the option to accelerate the maturity of the Loan or any prepayment by Borrower results in Borrower having paid any interest in excess of that permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, then it is Borrower’s and Lenders’ express intent that all excess amounts theretofore collected by Administrative Agent for the accounts of the respective Lenders shall be credited against the unpaid Principal and all other Debt (or, if the Debt has been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded to Borrower), and the provisions of the Loan Documents immediately be deemed reformed and the amounts thereafter collectible thereunder reduced, without the necessity of the execution of any new document, so as to comply with applicable Legal Requirements, but so as to permit the recovery of the fullest amount otherwise called for thereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Administrative Agent and the Lenders for the use, forbearance or detention of the Loan shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of the Loan until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Debt does not exceed the maximum lawful rate from time to time in effect and applicable to the Debt for so long as the Debt is outstanding. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, it is not the intention of Administrative Agent or any Lender to accelerate the maturity of any interest that has not accrued at the time of such acceleration or to collect unearned interest at the time of such acceleration.
11.17 Conflict; Construction of Documents. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Agreement shall control. The parties hereto acknowledge that each is represented by separate counsel in connection with the negotiation and drafting of the Loan Documents and that the Loan Documents shall not be subject to the principle of construing their meaning against the party that drafted them.
11.18 No Third Party Beneficiaries. The Loan Documents are solely for the benefit of Administrative Agent, Lenders and Borrower and nothing contained in any Loan Document shall be deemed to confer upon anyone other than Administrative Agent, Lenders and Borrower any right to insist upon or to enforce the performance or observance of any of the obligations contained therein.
11.19 No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), Borrower acknowledges and agrees that: (i) (A) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by Administrative Agent, Sole Lead Arranger or Sole Bookrunner are arm’s-length commercial transactions between Borrower, on the one hand, and Administrative Agent, Sole Lead Arranger or Sole Bookrunner, on the other hand, (B) Borrower has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate, and (C) Borrower is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents; (ii) (A) Administrative Agent, Sole Lead Arranger and Sole Bookrunner each is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for Borrower or any of its Affiliates, or any other Person and (B) neither Administrative Agent, nor Sole Lead Arranger, nor Sole Bookrunner has any obligation to Borrower or any of its Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; and (iii) Administrative Agent, Sole Lead Arranger and Sole Bookrunner and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of Borrower and its Affiliates, and neither Administrative Agent, nor Sole Lead Arranger, nor Sole Bookrunner has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to Borrower or any of its Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Borrower hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against Administrative Agent, Sole Lead Arranger and Sole Bookrunner with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby.
11.20 Assignments and Participations.
11.20.1 Assignments by the Lenders.
(a) Each Lender may assign any of its Loans, its Note and its Commitment (but only with the consent of Administrative Agent, which consent shall not be required if the Lender assigning its Loan is Administrative Agent, and so long as no
Event of Default exists, with the consent of Borrower), provided that no such consent by Borrower shall be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed, and Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days after having received notice thereof, and further provided that:
(i) no such consent by Administrative Agent or Borrower shall be required in the case of any assignment by any Lender to another Lender or an Affiliate of such Lender or such other Lender except to the extent that Administrative Agent has reserved the right to consent to further assignments to a Lender in connection with the granting of its consent to the initial assignment to such Lender;
(ii) except to the extent Administrative Agent and Borrower shall otherwise consent, any such partial assignment (other than to another Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender) shall be in an amount at least equal to $5,000,000 or, if less, the entire amount of the assigning Lender’s Loans and Commitment;
(iii) each such assignment (including an assignment to another Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender) by a Lender of its Loans or Commitment shall be made in such manner so that the same portion of its Loans and Commitment is assigned to the respective assignee;
(iv) subject to the applicable Lender’s compliance with the provisions of clauses (ii) and (iii) above, Administrative Agent’s consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned if such assignment is made to an Eligible Institution and the provisions of clause (v) have been satisfied; and
(v) upon execution and delivery by the assignee (even if already a Lender) to Borrower and Administrative Agent of an Assignment and Assumption pursuant to which such assignee agrees to become a “Lender” hereunder (if not already a Lender) having the Commitment and Loans specified in such instrument, and upon consent thereto by Administrative Agent to the extent required above, the assignee shall have, to the extent of such assignment (unless otherwise consented to by Administrative Agent), the obligations, rights and benefits of a Lender hereunder holding the Commitment and Loans (or portions thereof) assigned to it (in addition to the Commitment and Loans, if any, theretofore held by such assignee) and the assigning Lender shall, to the extent of such assignment, be released from the Commitment (or portion thereof) so assigned. Upon each such assignment the assigning Lender shall pay Administrative Agent a processing and recording fee of $3,500 and the reasonable fees and disbursements of Administrative Agent’s counsel incurred in connection therewith. The assignee, if it is not already a Lender, shall deliver to Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.
(b) From and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the
extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.2.3, 2.11.1 and 11.23); provided, however, that in no event shall such assigning Lender be released with respect to any defaults by or liabilities of such Lender under the Loan Documents which accrued prior to such assignment. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 11.20.1 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 11.20.1.
(c) The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable Legal Requirements, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.
11.20.2 Participations by the Lenders.
(a) A Lender may, without the consent of Borrower, but with prior written notice to Administrative Agent, sell to one or more other Persons (each a “Participant”) a participation in all or any part of any Loans held by it, or in its Commitment, provided (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) Borrower, Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to approve any modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document. In no event shall a Lender that sells a participation agree with the Participant to take or refrain from taking any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document except that such Lender may agree with the Participant that it will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to (i) increase or extend the term of such Lender’s Commitment, (ii) extend the date fixed for the payment of principal of or interest on the related Loan or Loans or any portion of any fee hereunder payable to the Participant (except as provided in the Loan Documents), (iii) reduce the amount of any such payment of principal, (iv) reduce the rate at which interest is payable thereon, or any fee hereunder payable to the Participant, to a level below the rate at which the Participant is entitled to receive such interest or fee or (v) consent to any modification, amendment or waiver hereof or of any of the other Loan Documents to the extent that the same, under Section 10.9, requires the consent of each Lender affected thereby. Subject to Section 11.20.2(b), Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be
entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.2.3, and 2.11.1 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.2.3) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.2.3 shall be delivered to the participating Lender) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 11.20.1; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 2.11.4 as if it were an assignee under Section 11.20.1. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower's request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 2.11.4 with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 11.201 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Sections 2.10.3 and 11.200.2(b) as though it were a Lender.
(b) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.2.3, and 2.11.1 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation or unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with Borrower's prior written consent.
(c) Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Borrower (such agency being solely for tax purposes), maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant's interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
11.20.3 Assignments by BankUnited. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained herein, the Loan, the Note, the Loan Documents and/or BankUnited’s rights, title, obligations and interests therein (in its capacity as a Lender) may be assigned by BankUnited and any of its successors and assigns to any Person at any time in its discretion, in whole or in part, whether by operation of law (pursuant to a merger or other successor in interest) or otherwise. Upon such assignment, all references to BankUnited (in its capacity as a Lender) in this Agreement and in any Loan Document shall be deemed to refer to such assignee or successor in interest and such assignee or successor in interest shall thereafter stand in the place of BankUnited.
11.20.4 Certain Pledges. In addition to the assignments and participations permitted under the foregoing provisions of this Section 11.20.4 (but without being subject thereto), any Lender may (without notice to Borrower, Administrative Agent or any other Lender and without payment of any fee) assign and pledge all or any portion of its Loans and its Note to any Federal Reserve Bank as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A and any operating circular issued by such Federal Reserve Bank, and such Loans and Note shall be fully transferable as provided therein. No such assignment shall release the assigning Lender from its obligations hereunder.
11.20.5 Provision of Information to Assignees and Participants. Subject to Section 11.25, Lender may furnish information concerning Borrower, any Guarantor or any of their respective Affiliates or the Property in the possession of such Lender from time to time to assignees and participants (including prospective assignees and participants).
11.20.6 No Assignments to Borrower or Affiliates. Anything in this Section 11.20.6 to the contrary notwithstanding, no Lender may assign or participate any interest in any Loan held by it hereunder to Borrower or any of its Affiliates (a “Borrower-Related Lender”) without the prior consent of Administrative Agent and Majority Lenders. Under no circumstances shall any Borrower-Related Lender:
(a) have any rights to vote or grant consent or approval with respect to any matter for which the vote, consent or approval of any Lender is required under the terms of the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, any of the matters set forth in Section 10.9 of this Agreement;
(b) have any rights to participate in meetings or conference calls to which the Lenders are invited;
(c) have any rights to receive any report or information (whether oral or written) from, or otherwise be consulted by, Administrative Agent or any other Lender that relates, in any way, to the Property, Borrower or the Loan (including, without limitation, any report delivered pursuant to Section 6.3 of this Agreement or pursuant to the Guaranty); or
(d) have any rights to provide direction, grant consent or vote its claim in connection with any voluntary or involuntary case or other proceeding against Borrower or Guarantor which seeks liquidation, reorganization or other relief with respect to it or its debts or other liabilities under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect or seeks the appointment of a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official of it or any substantial part of its property.
11.20.7 Reserved.
11.20.8 Assignments by Borrower. Borrower may not assign its rights, title, interests or obligations under this Agreement or under any of the Loan Documents.
11.20.9 Register. Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Borrower (such agency being solely for tax purposes), shall maintain at one of its offices in the United States a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and Borrower, Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
11.21 Set-Off. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of their respective Affiliates are hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held, and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing, by such Lender or any such Affiliate, to or for the credit or the account of Borrower against any and all of the obligations of Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender or their respective Affiliates, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or Affiliate shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of Borrower may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch, office or Affiliate of such Lender different from the branch, office or Affiliate holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.10 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. The rights of each Lender and their respective Affiliates under this Section 11.21 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender agrees to notify Borrower and Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.
11.22 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by Administrative Agent and when Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by electronic transmission (including facsimile or electronic mail in “PDF” format) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.
11.23 Limitation on Liability of Administrative Agent’s and the Lenders’ Officers, Employees. Any obligation or liability whatsoever of Administrative Agent or any Lender which may arise at any time under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be satisfied, if at all, out of Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s respective assets only. No such obligation or liability shall be personally binding upon, nor shall resort for the enforcement thereof be had to, the property of any of Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s shareholders, directors, officers, employees or agents, regardless of whether such obligation or liability is in the nature of contract, tort or otherwise.
11.24 Cooperation with Syndication. Borrower acknowledges that Administrative Agent intends to syndicate a portion of the Commitments to one or more Lenders (the “Syndication”) and in connection therewith, Borrower shall take all actions as Administrative Agent may reasonably request to assist Administrative Agent in its Syndication effort. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower shall, at the request of Administrative Agent (i) facilitate the review of the Loans, the Property and the other collateral for the Loans by any prospective Lender; (ii) assist Administrative Agent and otherwise cooperate with Administrative Agent in the preparation of information offering materials (which assistance may include reviewing and commenting on drafts of such information materials and drafting portions thereof); (iii) deliver updated information on Borrower, Guarantor, the Property and the other collateral for the Loans; (iv) make representatives of Borrower available to meet with prospective Lenders at tours of the Property and bank meetings; (v) facilitate direct contact between the senior management and advisors of Borrower and any prospective Lender; (vi) use its best efforts to ensure that the Syndication efforts of Administrative Agent benefit materially from its existing banking relationships; and (vii) provide Administrative Agent with all information reasonably deemed necessary by it to complete the Syndication successfully. Borrower agrees to take such further reasonable action, in connection with documents and amendments to the Loan Documents, as may reasonably be required to effect such Syndication.
11.25 Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality.. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agree to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its branches and Affiliates and to its and the partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, brokers, trustees, administrators, managers, advisors and representatives, including accountants, auditors and legal counsel of such Person and of such Person’s Affiliates (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential); (b) to the extent required or requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over such Person (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners); (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or by any subpoena or similar legal process; (d) to any other party hereto; (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder; (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as (or no less restrictive than)
those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, or (ii) any actual or prospective party to any swap, derivative or other transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to the Borrower and its obligations, this Agreement or payments hereunder; (g) on a confidential basis to (i) any rating agency in connection with rating the Loan or (ii) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers with respect to the Loan; (h) with the consent of the Borrower; or (i) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section, or (y) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any of their respective branches or Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower or any Guarantor that is not known to be subject to a confidentiality obligation to the Borrower or any Guarantor or (z) is independently discovered or developed by a party hereto without utilizing any Information received from the Borrower or any Guarantor or violating the terms of this Section; or to the extent required by a potential or actual insurer or reinsurer in connection with providing insurance, reinsurance or credit risk mitigation coverage under which payments are to be made or may be made by reference to this Agreement.
For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Borrower, any Guarantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries relating to the Borrower, any Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower, any Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries.
11.26 Promotional Material. Borrower authorizes Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders to issue press releases, advertisements, other promotional materials and other disclosures (including disclosures to league tables and similar services) in connection with Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s own promotional and marketing activities, and describing the basic terms of the Loans consistent with information found on a “tombstone” and Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s participation in the Loans. All references to Administrative Agent or any Lender contained in any press release, advertisement, promotional material or other public disclosures, other than any public filings or disclosures required by or otherwise filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, issued by Borrower shall be approved in writing by Administrative Agent and such Lender in advance of issuance.
11.27 Status of Parties. The relationship between the Lenders and Borrower is solely that of lender and borrower. Neither Administrative Agent nor the Lenders have any fiduciary or other special relationship with or duty to Borrower and none is created by the Loan Documents. Nothing contained in the Loan Documents, and no action taken or omitted pursuant to the Loan Documents, is intended or shall be construed to create any partnership, joint venture, association, or special relationship between Borrower and the Lenders or Administrative Agent or in any way make any Lender or Administrative Agent a co-principal with Borrower with reference to the Property or otherwise. In no event shall Administrative Agent’s or Lenders’ rights and interests under the Loan Documents be construed to give Administrative Agent or any Lender the right to control, or be deemed
to indicate that Administrative Agent or any Lender is in control of, the business, properties, management or operations of Borrower.
11.28 Borrower Title to Post-Closing Property. Lenders acknowledge that as of the date of this Agreement, Borrower does not own the Post-Closing Property and therefore Lenders agree that any of the representations, warranties, covenants, undertakings or other obligations of Borrower that refer to or concern the Property shall be deemed to refer to or concern only the Closing Date Property until such time as the Borrower acquires the Post-Closing Property and Lenders fund the Future Advance Amount of the Loan.
