unliquidated, disputed and contingent liabilities. The fair saleable value of Borrower’s assets is and will, immediately following the making of the Loan, be greater than Borrower’s probable liabilities, including the maximum amount of its contingent liabilities on its debts as such debts become absolute and matured, and Borrower’s assets do not and, immediately following the making of the Loan will not, constitute unreasonably small capital to carry out its business as conducted or as proposed to be conducted.

Section 2.05
hereof, Borrower shall pay (or shall cause to be paid) all real estate and other taxes and assessments which may be payable, assessed, levied, imposed upon or become a lien on or against any portion of the Property (all of the foregoing items are collectively referred to as the “

If Borrower elects by appropriate legal action to contest any Other Charges, Borrower shall not be required to pay such Other Charges provided that the contest operates to prevent enforcement or collection of such Other Charges, or the sale or forfeiture of, the Property, and is prosecuted with due diligence and continuity. Upon termination of any proceeding or contest, Borrower shall pay the amount of the Other Charges as finally determined in the proceeding or contest.

Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, Lender’s election to accelerate the Loan shall not be effective if (1) Borrower is permitted by law (including, without limitation, applicable interest rate laws) to, and actually does, pay the Imposition or the increased portion of the Imposition and (2) Borrower agrees in writing to pay or reimburse Lender in accordance with
Section 11.06

th
) of the amounts Lender reasonably estimates are necessary to pay, on an annualized basis, (a) all Impositions and (b) the premiums for the insurance policies required under this Security Instrument (collectively the “
Premiums
”) until such time as Borrower has deposited an amount equal to the annual charges for these items and on demand, from time to time, shall pay to Lender any additional amounts necessary to pay the Premiums and Impositions. Borrower will furnish to Lender bills for Impositions and Premiums thirty (30) days before Impositions become delinquent and such Premiums become due for payment. If Lender has the right hereunder to escrow sums as described in this
Section 2.05
and Lender is in fact holding such sums (as opposed to the applicable bank pursuant to the Lockbox Agreement), no amounts paid as Impositions or Premiums shall be deemed to be trust funds and these funds may be commingled with the general funds of Lender but shall be held by Lender in a non‑segregated interest‑bearing account, provided, however, that Lender shall not guarantee any particular rate of return. All amounts held under this
Section 2.05
shall be used only for the payment of the Premiums or Impositions for which the amounts were deposited.
(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of
Section 2.05(a)
to the contrary, provided no Event of Default or Lockbox Event has occurred under the Loan Documents, the Guaranty or the Unsecured Indemnity Agreement, Lender shall not require an escrow for the Impositions or the Premiums (collectively, the “
Escrow Waivers
”), provided, with respect to the Premiums only, Borrower shall deliver to Lender on or before the date on which any Premiums become delinquent, evidence satisfactory to Lender that such Premiums have been paid in full, including, without limitation, certificates of insurance evidencing the insurance policies required pursuant to Section 3.01 of the Security Instrument evidencing compliance with such
Section 3.01
. Each Event of Default, Lockbox Event or failure, with respect to Premiums only to provide the information provided in this
Section 2.05(b)
, shall constitute a “
Triggering Event
”.
(c) Notwithstanding the provisions of
Section 2.05(b)
to the contrary, in the event Borrower shall cure the Event of Default referred to in
Section 2.05(b)
(provided Lender has accepted said cure) or Borrower shall have cured a Lockbox Event or Borrower shall have provided the evidence regarding payment of Premiums, as set forth in
Section 2.05(b)
hereof, Lender shall reinstate the Escrow Waivers and release all escrowed funds within five (5) Business Days of the applicable cure, provided, however, the Escrow Waivers shall be permanently terminated upon the occurrence of the third Triggering Event.

Threshold Amount

Such security shall be in an amount equal to the excess of the total unpaid amounts with respect to such alteration (other than such amounts to be paid or reimbursed by tenants under the Leases) over the Threshold Amount and, if Borrower has not timely paid for the costs and expenses of the alteration, applied from time to time at the option of Lender to pay for such alteration or to terminate the alteration and restore the Property to the extent necessary to prevent any material adverse effect on the use, operation or value (including the net operating income) of the Property.

Section 7.04(b)
and that all approvals necessary for the re‑occupancy and use of the Property have been obtained from all appropriate governmental and quasi‑governmental authorities, and Lender receives evidence satisfactory to Lender that the costs of the Restoration have been paid in full or will be paid in full out of the Casualty Retainage; provided, however, that Lender will release the portion of the Casualty Retainage being held with respect to any contractor, subcontractor or materialman engaged in the Restoration as of the date upon which the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the contractor, subcontractor or materialman has satisfactorily completed all work and has supplied all materials in accordance with the provisions of the contractor’s, subcontractor’s or materialman’s contract, the contractor, subcontractor or materialman delivers the lien waivers and evidence of payment in full of all sums due to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman as may be reasonably requested by Lender or by the title company or companies issuing the Title Insurance Policy, and Lender receives an endorsement to the Title Insurance Policy insuring the continued priority of the lien of the Security Instrument and evidence of payment of any premium payable for such endorsement. If required by Lender, the release of any such portion of the Casualty Retainage shall be approved by the surety company, if any, which has issued a payment or performance bond with respect to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman.
(v)
Lender shall not be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds more frequently than once every calendar month.
(vi)
If at any time the Net Proceeds or the undisbursed balance thereof shall not, in the reasonable opinion of Lender in consultation with the Casualty Consultant, be sufficient to pay in full the balance of the costs which are estimated by the Casualty Consultant to be incurred in connection
with the completion of the Restoration, Borrower shall deposit the deficiency (the “
Net Proceeds Deficiency
”) with Lender before any further disbursement of the Net Proceeds shall be made. The Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender shall be held by Lender and shall be disbursed for costs actually incurred in connection with the Restoration on the same conditions applicable to the disbursement of the Net Proceeds, and until so disbursed pursuant to this
Section 7.04(b)
shall constitute additional security for the Debt and other obligations under the Loan Documents.

Section 7.04(c)
, toward the payment of the Debt (without any Prepayment Fee) whether or not then due and payable in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall deem proper.
(c)
All Net Proceeds not required (i) to be made available for the Restoration or (ii) to be returned to Borrower as excess Net Proceeds pursuant to
Section 7.04(b)(vii)
, may be retained and applied by Lender toward the payment of the Debt (without any Prepayment Fee) whether or not then due and payable in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall deem proper (including, in the event of severance of the Note and other Loan Documents into separate notes, deeds of trust, mortgages and other security documents as provided in this Security Instrument or in any of the other Loan Documents), or, at the discretion of Lender, the same may be paid, either in whole or in part, to Borrower for such purposes as Lender shall designate, in its discretion.
(d)
In the event of foreclosure of the Security Instrument with respect to the Property, or other transfer of title to the Property in extinguishment in whole or in part of the Debt, all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to the insurance policies that are not blanket policies then in force concerning the Property and all proceeds payable thereunder shall thereupon vest in the purchaser at such foreclosure or Lender or other transferee in the event of such other transfer of title.
(e)
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, (i) the provisions of the Ground Lease, REA and the Anchor Leases with respect to insurance proceeds for the Restoration shall control in the event of any conflict between the provisions of the Ground Lease, REA and/or the Anchor Leases and the provisions of this Security Instrument, or any of the Loan Documents, and (ii) Lender hereby agrees to apply the proceeds of insurance to the Restoration to the extent required by, and in accordance with, the REA, Ground Lease and/or the Anchor Leases.

ARTICLE XII
BORROWER AGREEMENTS AND FURTHER ASSURANCES
Section 12.01
PARTICIPATION AND SALE OF LOAN
. (a) Lender may sell, transfer or assign its entire interest or one or more interests (including, without limitation, participation interests) in the Loan and the Loan Documents, the Unsecured Indemnity Agreement and the Guaranty, at any time and from time to time, including, without limitation, its rights and obligations as servicer of the Loan and may issue mortgage pass‑through certificates or other securities evidencing a beneficial interest in one or more rated or unrated public offering(s) or private placement(s), including depositing the Loan with a trust or trusts that may issue Securities. MetLife shall be the initial servicer. In no event shall Borrower be responsible for payment of any servicer’s fees. Lender may forward (on a confidential basis, except as required by law) to each investor in such Securities and/or to each purchaser, transferee, assignee, servicer, or participant of the Loan, (each, an “
Investor
”),
any prospective Investor or any Rating Agency rating or assigning value to such Securities, all documents and information which Lender now has or may hereafter acquire relating to the Secured Indebtedness and to Borrower, any SPE Entity, or any Liable Parties and the Property, whether furnished by Borrower, Liable Party or otherwise, as Lender determines necessary or desirable. Lender shall not sell, transfer or assign an interest in the Loan to any Investor unless and until such Investor shall have delivered to Borrower such evidence as Borrower may reasonably request to evidence such Investor exemption from the withholding of any tax imposed by an applicable jurisdiction in connection with the
payment of interest and other sums due to it under the Loan, the Loan Documents, the Guaranty, and the Unsecured Indemnity Agreement. If Lender or any Investor holding a direct interest in the Loan with respect to such Investor’s interest in the Loan issues mortgage pass‑through certificates or other securities evidencing a beneficial interest in a rated or unrated public offering or private placement, including depositing the Loan with a trust that may issue Securities, Lender or such Investor, as applicable, shall send notice to Borrower and to each other Investor holding a direct interest in the Loan.
(b)
In addition, Borrower acknowledges that Lender may release or disclose to potential purchasers or transferees of the Loan or any portion thereof, or potential participants in the Loan (on a confidential basis except as required by law), originals or copies of the Loan Documents, the Guaranty, and the Unsecured Indemnity Agreement, title information, engineering reports, financial statements, operating statements, appraisals, leases, rent rolls, and all other materials, documents and information in Lender’s possession or which Lender is entitled to receive under the Loan Documents, the Guaranty, and the Unsecured Indemnity Agreement with respect to the Loan, Borrower, Liable Party or the Property. Borrower and Liable Party shall provide estoppel certificates in a form reasonably satisfactory to Lender and reasonably requested updates of prior information previously delivered to Lender with respect to the Loan to such Investor, such prospective Investors and/or such Rating Agency (in form and substance to their reasonable satisfaction) as may reasonably be required by Lender provided that such documents do not cause Borrower or Liable Party to incur any liability, potential liability, or any cost or expense. Borrower shall execute such non‑material amendments to the Loan Documents and the Unsecured Indemnity Agreement as may be reasonably requested by Lender or the Rating Agencies to effect the securitization or assignment; provided however, that Borrower shall not be required to modify or amend any Loan Documents if such modification or amendment would (i) change the interest rate, the stated maturity or the amortization of principal set forth in the Note, or (ii) modify or amend any other material economic term of the Loan; provided, further, however, that neither securitization nor anything else contained in this
Section 12.01
shall diminish Borrower’s or Liable Party’s rights or increase its obligations under the Loan Documents, the Guaranty, and the Unsecured Indemnity Agreement, or require Borrower to make any additional representations or warranties or incur any additional liabilities. All costs of securitization and other transactions permitted under this
Section 12.01
shall be paid by Lender, including reasonable out‑of‑pocket expenses of Borrower.
(c)
Lender shall have the right, at any time and from time to time, to split or divide any one or more Note(s) into two or more promissory notes, each of which shall be secured by this Security Instrument. To that end, Borrower shall execute, acknowledge and deliver, or cause to be executed, acknowledged and delivered by the then owner of the Property, to Lender and/or its designee or designees substitute notes in such principal amounts aggregating not more than the then unpaid amount of the Secured Indebtedness and containing the same terms and provisions as those contained in the Notes, and such other documents and instruments as may be required by Lender, provided, however, that nothing contained in this paragraph (c) shall diminish Borrower’s or Liable Party’s rights or increase its obligations under the Loan Documents, the Guaranty, or the Unsecured Indemnity Agreement, or require Borrower to make any additional representations or warranties or incur any additional liabilities.
Section 12.02

Upon the execution and delivery of the replacement note, all references in any of the Loan Documents, the Guaranty and/or the Unsecured Indemnity Agreement to the applicable Note shall refer to the replacement note and all references in any of the Loan Documents, the Guaranty and/or the Unsecured Indemnity Agreement to the applicable Note shall include the replacement note.
Section 12.03
BORROWER’S ESTOPPEL
. Within ten (10) days after a request by Lender, Borrower shall furnish an acknowledged written statement in form satisfactory to Lender (a) setting forth the amount of the Secured Indebtedness, (b) stating either that no known offsets or defenses exist against the Secured Indebtedness, or if any offsets or defenses are alleged to exist, their nature and extent, and (c) stating whether any known default then exists under the Loan Documents, the Guaranty, or the Unsecured Indemnity Agreement, or any known event has occurred and is continuing, which, with the lapse of time, the giving of notice, or both, would constitute such a default.
Section 12.04
FURTHER ASSURANCES

If Borrower fails to comply with the terms of this Section, Lender may, after the occurrence of an Event of Default, at Borrower’s expense, perform Borrower’s obligations for and in the name of Borrower, and Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Lender as its attorney‑in‑fact to do so. The appointment of Lender as attorney‑in‑fact is coupled with an interest.
Section 12.05
SUBROGATION
. Lender shall be subrogated to the lien of any and all encumbrances against the Property paid out of the proceeds of the Loan and to all of the rights of the recipient of such payment.

At the option of Lender, the Loan or any portion thereof may be serviced by (a) a Servicer together with, at the discretion of the Servicer, a third party sub-servicer for routine, administrative or ministerial servicing matters or (b) following a Securitization of the Loan, a third party servicer/trustee, including a master servicer and/or a special servicer selected by Lender, provided that if no Event of Default shall exist, any third party servicer shall be subject to the approval of Borrower, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned and/or delayed. Lender shall be responsible for any set‑up fees or any other initial costs relating to or arising under any third party servicing agreement and for payment of the monthly servicing fee due to the third party servicer under any servicing agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, or in the Note, any of the other Loan Documents, the Guaranty or the Unsecured Indemnity Agreement, and regardless of the number of Investors that may hold a portion of the Loan, (a) Borrower shall only be required to remit Debt Service payments under the Note and the other Loan Documents, and under the Guaranty and the Unsecured Indemnity Agreement to the Servicer (or sub-servicer, as applicable), (b) Borrower shall only be required to submit requests for consents or approvals to the Servicer (it being understood that the Servicer may require the consent or approval of other Persons pursuant to intercreditor or other arrangements), and (c) no one Investor shall exercise any of its rights and/or remedies (if any) pursuant to the Loan Documents, the Guaranty, or the Unsecured Indemnity Agreement independently from all other Investors.

ARTICLE XVII
GROUND LEASE PROVISIONS
Section 17.01
GROUND LEASE
.
(a)
Borrower shall (i) pay all rents, additional rents and other sums required to be paid by Borrower, as tenant under and pursuant to the provisions of the Ground Lease as and when such rent or other charge is payable, (ii) diligently perform and observe all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Ground Lease on the part of Borrower, as tenant thereunder, to be performed and observed prior to the expiration of any applicable grace or cure period therein provided, and (iii) promptly notify Lender of the receipt by Borrower of any notice by the Ground Lessor to Borrower of any default by Borrower in the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of the Ground Lease on the part of Borrower, as tenant thereunder, to be performed or observed and deliver to Lender a true copy of each such notice. Borrower shall not, without the prior consent of Lender, surrender the leasehold estate created by the Ground Lease or terminate or cancel the Ground Lease or modify, change, supplement, alter or amend the Ground Lease, in any respect, either orally or in writing, and Borrower hereby assigns to Lender, as further security for the payment and performance of all Secured Indebtedness, all of the rights, privileges and prerogatives of Borrower, as tenant under the Ground Lease, to surrender the leasehold estate created by the Ground Lease or to terminate, cancel, modify, change, supplement, alter or amend the Ground Lease, and any such surrender of such leasehold estate or termination, cancellation, modification, change, supplement, alteration or amendment of the Ground Lease without the prior consent of Lender shall be void and of no force and effect.
(b)
If Borrower shall default (irrespective of whether any applicable notice and cure periods in favor of Borrower under the Ground Lease have not expired) in the performance or observance of any term, covenant or condition of the Ground Lease on the part of Borrower, as tenant thereunder, to be performed or observed, then, without limiting the generality of the other provisions of this Security Instrument, and without waiving or releasing Borrower from any of its obligations hereunder, Lender shall have the right upon notice to Borrower, but shall be under no obligation, to pay any sums and to perform any act or take any action as may be appropriate to cause all of the terms, covenants and conditions of such Ground Lease on the part of Borrower, as tenant thereunder, to be performed or observed or to be promptly performed or observed on behalf of Borrower, to the end that the rights of Borrower in, to and under the Ground Lease shall be kept unimpaired and free from default, even though the existence of such event of default or the nature thereof be questioned or denied by Borrower or by any party on behalf of Borrower. If Lender shall make any payment or perform any act or take action in accordance with the preceding sentence, Lender will notify Borrower of the making of any such payment, the performance of any such act, or the taking of any such action. In any such event, subject to the rights of tenants, subtenants and other occupants under the Leases, Lender and any person designated by Lender shall have, and are hereby granted, the right to enter upon the Property at any time and from time to time for the purpose of taking any such action. Lender may pay and expend such sums of money as Lender deems necessary for any such purpose and upon so doing shall be subrogated to any and all rights of the Ground Lessor. Borrower hereby agrees to pay to Lender immediately and without demand, all such sums so paid and expended by Lender, together with interest thereon from the day of such payment at the Default Rate. All sums so paid and expended by Lender and the interest thereon shall be secured by the legal operation and effect of the Security Instrument. If the Ground Lessor shall deliver to Lender a copy of any notice of default sent by said Ground Lessor to Borrower, as tenant under the Ground Lease, such notice shall constitute full protection to Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken by Lender, in good faith, in reliance thereon. Borrower will not subordinate or consent to the subordination of the Ground Lease to any mortgage, deed of trust, security deed, lease or other interest on or in the Ground Lessor’s interest in all or any part of the Property, unless, in each such case, the written consent of Lender shall have been first had and obtained. Each Lease hereafter made and each renewal of any existing Lease shall provide that, (a) in the event of the termination of the Ground Lease, the Lease shall not terminate or be terminated by the tenant; and (b) in the event of any action for the foreclosure of the Security Instrument, the Lease shall not terminate or be terminable by the subtenant by reason of the termination of the Ground Lease unless the tenant is specifically named and joined in any such action and unless a judgment is obtained therein against the tenant.
Section 17.02
NO MERGER OF FEE AND LEASEHOLD ESTATES; RELEASES
. So long as any portion of the Loan shall remain unpaid, unless Lender shall otherwise consent, the fee title to the Property and the leasehold estate therein created pursuant to the provisions of each Ground Lease shall not merge but shall always be kept separate and distinct, notwithstanding the union of such estates in Borrower, Lender, or in any other person by purchase, operation of law or otherwise.
Section 17.03
ACQUISITION OF FEE ESTATE
.
(a) Except as permitted under this Section 17.03, neither Borrower nor any Affiliate of Borrower shall acquire fee title to the Land without the prior written consent of Lender. Any Affiliate of Borrower that is not an SPE Entity or owned by an SPE Entity required hereunder (a “
Qualifying Fee Owner Borrower Affiliate
”) may acquire fee title to the Land provided that (i) TRG is and remains the Liable Party and (ii) the Qualifying Fee Owner Borrower Affiliate that acquires the fee title to the Land is a Sponsor Affiliate. For the avoidance of doubt, if a Qualifying Fee Owner Borrower Affiliate acquires fee title to the
Land in accordance with the requirements of this
Section 17.03(a)
, the lien of this Security Instrument shall not encumber the fee title to the Land.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Borrower shall not acquire fee title to the Land without the prior written consent of Lender. Without limiting the foregoing, so long as any portion of the Secured Indebtedness remains unpaid, in the event that Borrower shall be the owner and holder of the fee title to the Property, the lien of the Security Instrument shall be spread to cover Borrower’s fee title to the Property and said fee title shall be deemed to be included in the Property. Borrower agrees, at its sole cost and expense (including without limitation Lender’s reasonable attorneys’ fees) to (i) execute any and all documents or instruments necessary to subject its fee title to the Property to the lien of the Security Instrument; and (ii) provide a title insurance policy which shall insure that the lien of the Security Instrument is a first lien on Borrower’s fee title to the Property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Ground Lease is for any reason whatsoever terminated prior to the natural expiration of its term, and if, pursuant to any provisions of the Ground Lease or otherwise, Lender or its designee shall acquire from the Ground Lessor thereunder another lease of the Property, Borrower shall have no right, title or interest in or to such other lease or the leasehold estate created thereby.
Section 17.04
REJECTION OF THE GROUND LEASE
.
(a) If the Ground Lease is terminated for any reason in the event of the rejection or disaffirmance of the Ground Lease pursuant to the United States Bankruptcy Code, or any other law affecting creditor’s rights, (i) the Borrower, immediately after obtaining notice thereof, shall give notice thereof to Lender, (ii) Borrower, without the prior written consent of Lender, shall not elect to treat the Ground Lease as terminated pursuant to Section 365(h) of the Bankruptcy Code or any comparable federal or state statute or law, and any election by Borrower made without such consent shall be void and (iii) the Security Instrument and the liens, terms, covenants and conditions of the Security Instrument shall extend to and cover Borrower’s possessory rights under Section 365(h) of the Bankruptcy Code and to any claim for damages due to the rejection of the Ground Lease or other termination of the Ground Lease. In addition, Borrower hereby assigns irrevocably to Lender, Borrower’s rights to treat the Ground Lease as terminated pursuant to Section 365(h) of the Bankruptcy Code and to offset rents under such Ground Lease in the event any case, proceeding or other action is commenced by or against the Ground Lessor under the Bankruptcy Code or any comparable federal or state statute or law.
(b) Borrower hereby assigns to Lender, Borrower’s right to reject the Ground Lease under Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code or any comparable federal or state statute or law with respect to any case, proceeding or other action commenced by or against Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code or comparable federal or state statute or law, provided the Lender shall not exercise such right, unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. So long as any portion of the Loan remains unpaid, Borrower shall not reject or otherwise allow the Ground Lease to be terminated whether under Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code or other comparable federal or state statute or law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of Lender.
(c)
Borrower hereby assigns to Lender, Borrower’s right to seek an extension of the 60-day period within which Borrower must accept or reject the Ground Lease under Section 365 of the Code or any comparable federal or state statute or law with respect to any case, proceeding or other action commenced by or against Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code or comparable federal or state statute or law.
(d)
In the event Ground Lessor, as debtor in possession, or by a trustee for Ground Lessor, attempts to sell or transfer its interest in the Land and the Improvements free and clear of the Ground Lease
pursuant to Section 363 (or any similar provision) of the Bankruptcy Code, Borrower shall not consent, acquiesce or fail to object to such attempted sale or transfer. Any such consent, acquiescence or failure to object made shall be null and void as to Lender. In any event, Borrower hereby waives, for the benefit of Lender, its successors and assigns only, and not enforceable by anyone else, the provisions of Section 363 and Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, or of any statute or rule of law now or hereafter in effect which gives or purports to give Borrower any right to consent to or acquiesce in the sale or transfer of the Ground Lessor’s interest in the Land and the Improvements free and clear of the Ground Lease, to acquiesce in the termination of the Ground Lease or to surrender possession of the Property in the event of the bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency of Ground Lessor or any other party.
Section 17.05
GROUND LEASE REQUIRED PROVISIONS
.
(a)
Ground Lease Requirements
. This Security Instrument is executed upon the condition that no purchaser at any foreclosure sale or otherwise acquiring title as a result of a default hereunder shall acquire any right, title or interest in or to the Ground Lease, unless the said purchaser, or the person, firm or corporation to whom or to which such purchaser’s right has been assigned, shall, in the instrument transferring to such purchaser or to such assignee Borrower’s interest under the said Ground Lease agree that its interest in the leasehold created by the Ground Lease is subject to its performance from and after the date of such transfer of all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Ground Lease to be observed or performed on the part of the tenant under the Ground Lease from and after the date of such transfer (provided, however, that neither said purchaser nor its successors or assigns shall have any personal liability for the performance of the Ground Lease), and moreover, that no further or additional mortgage or assignment of the Ground Lease, or of the term therein demised, shall be made, except subject to the provisions contained in Articles 8 and 9 of the Ground Lease, and that a duplicate original of said assumption agreement, in form satisfactory to Ground Lessor’s counsel, duly executed, and acknowledged by such purchaser or such assignee, is delivered to Ground Lessor immediately after the consummation of such sale, or, in any event, prior to taking possession of the Property.
(b)
Waiver of Proceeds
. The Lender waives all rights and option to retain and apply the proceeds of any insurance or the proceeds of any condemnation award toward payment of the sum secured by this Security Instrument to the extent such proceeds are required to be used for the repair or restoration of the Property in accordance with the provisions of the Ground Lease.
(c)
Subleases
. In the event of a foreclosure of this Security Instrument, no sublease shall be terminated, cut off or foreclosed, because of such foreclosure, without the prior joint written consent of Ground Lessor and Lender hereunder.
(d)
Defaults
. If this Security Instrument is in default and Lender determines to foreclose or take a transfer in lieu of foreclosure, Lender shall first give written notice thereof to Ground Lessor and Borrower. Within one hundred twenty (120) days thereafter, but not earlier than thirty (30) days thereafter, if Borrower has not fully cured and reinstated this Security Instrument, Ground Lessor may elect by written notice to the Borrower and Lender to take over Borrower’s position as tenant under the Ground Lease hereby encumbered in accordance with the Ground Lease as supplemented by the Estoppel.

LEASING GUIDELINES
Borrower may, at all times, lease the Property in its discretion reasonably exercised in a manner consistent with its past practice and then current market conditions existing in the Denver, Colorado metropolitan area. Each Lease and License Agreement entered into after the Execution Date (including the renewal or extension on or after the Execution Date of any Lease entered into prior to the Execution Date if the rent payable during such renewal or extension, or a formula or other method to compute such rent, is not provided for in such Lease (such a renewal or extension a “
Renewal Lease
”)) either (a) (i) shall provide for payment of rent and all other material amounts payable thereunder at rates at least equal to the fair market rental value comparable to existing local market rates and terms (taking into account the type and quality of the tenant as of the date such Lease is executed by Borrower), contain then prevailing practices with respect to tenant concessions, tenant expense pass‑throughs, common area maintenance charges, and incentives in comparable shopping centers in the Denver, Colorado metropolitan area, and (ii) is an arms‑length transaction with a bona fide, independent third party tenant, or (b) shall not impair the value of the Property taken as a whole and is an arms‑length transaction with a bona fide third party tenant, or (c) shall be consented to by Lender. Borrower may, without the consent of Lender, amend, modify or waive the provision of any Lease or terminate, reduce rents under or shorten the term of any Lease or License Agreement provided that such action (taking into account, in the case of a termination, reduction in rent or shortening of term, the planned alternative use of the affected space) does not impair the value of the Property taken as a whole.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Debt Yield with respect to the Loan falls below 6.75% (the “
Minimum Debt Yield
”), all Leases thereafter entered into by Borrower that (i) cover over five thousand (5,000) square feet, or (ii) have lease terms longer than ten (10) years, or (iii) are not substantially on the standard form of lease approved by Lender, must be approved by Lender, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, after the Debt Yield falls below the Minimum Debt Yield, if the Debt Yield shall thereafter rise to or above the Minimum Debt Yield and remain at or above the Minimum Debt Yield for six (6) consecutive months, the original leasing guidelines set forth above shall again become operative.
Lender shall respond to a request for Borrower’s approval of a Lease within fifteen (15) Business Days, with respect to any Major Lease, and ten (10) Business Days, with respect to any other tenants, and shall either (a) approve the draft, or (b) provide written comments or objections to the draft. Provided that Borrower prominently captions its request for approval in the following manner: “
METLIFE’S FAILURE TO RESPOND TO THIS REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF THIS LEASE WITHIN FIFTEEN(15)/TEN (10) [AS APPLICABLE] BUSINESS DAYS SHALL RESULT IN METLIFE’S APPROVAL OF THIS LEASE BEING DEEMED AUTOMATICALLY GIVEN
”, in the event that Lender fails to so respond to such request for approval not later than the tenth (10th)/fifteenth (15th) (as applicable) Business Day after Lender’s receipt of a Borrower’s request and the foregoing information, Lender shall be deemed to have given such approval.
