KBS STRATEGIC OPPORTUNITY REIT, INC.
CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2019
(unaudited)
KBS Strategic Opportunity REIT, Inc. (the “Company”) was formed on October 8, 2008 as a Maryland corporation and elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) beginning with the taxable year ended December 31, 2010. The Company conducts its business primarily through KBS Strategic Opportunity (BVI) Holdings, Ltd. (“KBS Strategic Opportunity BVI”), a private company limited by shares according to the British Virgin Islands Business Companies Act, 2004, which was incorporated on December 18, 2015 and is authorized to issue a maximum of
50,000
common shares with no par value. Upon incorporation, KBS Strategic Opportunity BVI issued one certificate containing
10,000
common shares with no par value to KBS Strategic Opportunity Limited Partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), a Delaware limited partnership formed on December 10, 2008. The Company is the sole general partner of, and owns a
0.1%
partnership interest in, the Operating Partnership. KBS Strategic Opportunity Holdings LLC (“REIT Holdings”), a Delaware limited liability company formed on December 9, 2008, owns the remaining
99.9%
interest in the Operating Partnership and is its sole limited partner. The Company is the sole member and manager of REIT Holdings.
Subject to certain restrictions and limitations, the business of the Company is externally managed by KBS Capital Advisors LLC (the “Advisor”), an affiliate of the Company, pursuant to an advisory agreement the Company renewed with the Advisor on
October 8, 2018
(the “Advisory Agreement”). The Advisor conducts the Company’s operations and manages its portfolio of real estate and other real estate-related investments.
On January 8, 2009, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-11 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) to offer a minimum of
250,000
shares and a maximum of
140,000,000
shares of common stock for sale to the public (the “Offering”), of which
100,000,000
shares were registered in a primary offering and
40,000,000
shares were registered to be sold under the Company’s dividend reinvestment plan. The SEC declared the Company’s registration statement effective on November 20, 2009. The Company ceased offering shares of common stock in its primary offering on November 14, 2012 and continues to offer shares under its dividend reinvestment plan.
The Company sold
56,584,976
shares of common stock in its primary offering for gross offering proceeds of
$561.7 million
. As of
March 31, 2019
, the Company had sold
6,772,410
shares of common stock under its dividend reinvestment plan for gross offering proceeds of
$75.7 million
. Also, as of
March 31, 2019
, the Company had redeemed
23,045,646
shares for
$277.9 million
. As of
March 31, 2019
, the Company had issued
25,976,746
shares of common stock in connection with special dividends. Additionally, on December 29, 2011 and October 23, 2012, the Company issued
220,994
shares and
55,249
shares of common stock, respectively, for
$2.0 million
and
$0.5 million
, respectively, in private transactions exempt from the registration requirements pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.
On March 2, 2016, KBS Strategic Opportunity BVI filed a final prospectus with the Israel Securities Authority for a proposed offering of up to
1,000,000,000
Israeli new Shekels of Series A debentures (the “Debentures”) at an annual interest rate not to exceed
4.25%
. On March 1, 2016, KBS Strategic Opportunity BVI commenced the institutional tender of the Debentures and accepted application for
842.5 million
Israeli new Shekels. On March 7, 2016, KBS Strategic Opportunity BVI commenced the public tender of the Debentures and accepted
127.7 million
Israeli new Shekels. In the aggregate, KBS Strategic Opportunity BVI accepted
970.2 million
Israeli new Shekels (approximately
$249.2 million
as of March 8, 2016) in both the institutional and public tenders at an annual interest rate of
4.25%
. KBS Strategic Opportunity BVI issued the Debentures on March 8, 2016.
In connection with the above-referenced offering, on March 8, 2016, the Operating Partnership assigned to KBS Strategic Opportunity BVI all of its interests in the subsidiaries through which the Company indirectly owns all of its real estate and real estate-related investments. The Operating Partnership owns all of the issued and outstanding equity of KBS Strategic Opportunity BVI. As a result of these transactions, the Company now holds all of its real estate and real estate-related investments indirectly through KBS Strategic Opportunity BVI.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
|
There have been no significant changes to the Company’s accounting policies since it filed its audited financial statements in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2018
, except for the Company’s adoption of the lease accounting standards issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) effective on
January 1, 2019
. For further information about the Company’s accounting policies, refer to the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended
December 31, 2018
included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC.
Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and condensed notes thereto have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information as contained within the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and the rules and regulations of the SEC, including the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for audited financial statements. In the opinion of management, the financial statements for the unaudited interim periods presented include all adjustments, which are of a normal and recurring nature, necessary for a fair and consistent presentation of the results for such periods. Operating results for the
three
months ended
March 31, 2019
are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending
December 31, 2019
.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, REIT Holdings, the Operating Partnership, KBS Strategic Opportunity BVI and their direct and indirect wholly owned subsidiaries, and joint ventures in which the Company has a controlling interest. All significant intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.
Redeemable Common Stock
The Company limits the dollar value of shares that may be redeemed under the share redemption program. During the
three
months ended
March 31, 2019
, the Company had redeemed
$2.5 million
of common stock under the share redemption program. The Company processed all redemption requests received in good order and eligible for redemption through the
March 2019
redemption date, except for
3,294,070
shares totaling
$31.0 million
due to the limitations under the share redemption program. The Company recorded
$7.7 million
and
$10.0 million
of
redeemable common stock payable
on the Company’s balance sheet as of
March 31, 2019
and
December 31, 2018
, respectively, related to unfulfilled redemption requests received in good order under the share redemption program. Based on the eleventh amended and restated share redemption program, the Company has
$7.5 million
available for redemptions in the remainder of
2019
, including shares that are redeemed in connection with a stockholders’ death, “qualifying disability” or “determination of incompetence,” subject to the limitations under the share redemption program.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in the Company’s prior period consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications have not changed the results of operations of prior periods. Upon adoption of the lease accounting standards of Topic 842 on
January 1, 2019
(described below), the Company accounted for tenant reimbursements for property taxes, insurance and common area maintenance as variable lease payments and recorded these amounts as rental income on the statement of operations. For the
three
months ended
March 31, 2018
, the Company reclassified
$2.2 million
of tenant reimbursement revenue for property taxes, insurance, and common area maintenance to rental income for comparability purposes.

Revenue Recognition - Operating Leases
Real Estate
On
January 1, 2019
, the Company adopted the lease accounting standards under Topic 842 including the package of practical expedients for all leases that commenced before the effective date of January 1, 2019. Accordingly, the Company (i) did not reassess whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, (ii) did not reassess the lease classification for any expired or existing lease, and (iii) did not reassess initial direct costs for any existing leases. The Company did not elect the practical expedient related to using hindsight to reevaluate the lease term. In addition, the Company adopted the practical expedient for land easements and did not assess whether existing or expired land easements that were not previously accounted for as leases under the lease accounting standards of Topic 840 are or contain a lease under Topic 842.
In addition, Topic 842 provides an optional transition method to allow entities to apply the new lease accounting standards at the adoption date and recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. The Company adopted this transition method upon its adoption of the lease accounting standards of Topic 842, which did not result in a cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings on
January 1, 2019
. The Company’s comparative periods presented in the financial statements will continue to be reported under the lease accounting standards of Topic 840.
In accordance with Topic 842, tenant reimbursements for property taxes and insurance are included in the single lease component of the lease contract (the right of the lessee to use the leased space) and therefore are accounted for as variable lease payments and are recorded as rental income on the Company’s statement of operations beginning
January 1, 2019
. In addition, the Company adopted the practical expedient available under Topic 842 to not separate nonlease components from the associated lease component and instead to account for those components as a single component if the nonlease components otherwise would be accounted for under the new revenue recognition standard (Topic 606) and if certain conditions are met, specifically related to tenant reimbursements for common area maintenance which would otherwise be accounted for under the revenue recognition standard. The Company believes the two conditions have been met for tenant reimbursements for common area maintenance as (i) the timing and pattern of transfer of the nonlease components and associated lease components are the same and (ii) the lease component would be classified as an operating lease. Accordingly, tenant reimbursements for common area maintenance are also accounted for as variable lease payments and recorded as rental income on the Company’s statement of operations beginning
January 1, 2019
.
The Company recognizes minimum rent, including rental abatements, lease incentives and contractual fixed increases attributable to operating leases, on a straight-line basis over the term of the related leases when collectibility is probable and records amounts expected to be received in later years as deferred rent receivable. If the lease provides for tenant improvements, the Company determines whether the tenant improvements, for accounting purposes, are owned by the tenant or the Company. When the Company is the owner of the tenant improvements, the tenant is not considered to have taken physical possession or have control of the physical use of the leased asset until the tenant improvements are substantially completed. When the tenant is the owner of the tenant improvements, any tenant improvement allowance (including amounts that can be taken in the form of cash or a credit against the tenant’s rent) that is funded is treated as a lease incentive and amortized as a reduction of rental revenue over the lease term. Tenant improvement ownership is determined based on various factors including, but not limited to:
|
|
•
|
whether the lease stipulates how a tenant improvement allowance may be spent;
|
|
|
•
|
whether the lessee or lessor supervises the construction and bears the risk of cost overruns;
|
|
|
•
|
whether the amount of a tenant improvement allowance is in excess of market rates;
|
|
|
•
|
whether the tenant or landlord retains legal title to the improvements at the end of the lease term;
|
|
|
•
|
whether the tenant improvements are unique to the tenant or general purpose in nature; and
|
|
|
•
|
whether the tenant improvements are expected to have any residual value at the end of the lease.

The Company leases apartment units under operating leases with terms generally of one year or less. Generally, credit investigations will be performed for prospective residents and security deposits will be obtained. The Company recognizes rental revenue, net of concessions, on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, when collectibility is determined to be probable.
In accordance with Topic 842, the Company makes a determination of whether the collectibility of the lease payments in an operating lease is probable. If the Company determines the lease payments are not probable of collection, the Company would fully reserve for any contractual lease payments, deferred rent receivable, and tenant reimbursements and would recognize rental income only if cash is received. Beginning January 1, 2019, these changes to the Company’s collectibility assessment are reflected as an adjustment to rental income. Prior to January 1, 2019, bad debt expense related to uncollectible accounts receivable and deferred rent receivable was included in operating, maintenance, and management expense in the statement of operations. Any subsequent changes to the collectibility of the allowance for doubtful accounts as of December 31, 2018, which was recorded prior to the adoption of Topic 842, are recorded in operating, maintenance, and management expense in the statement of operations.
Beginning
January 1, 2019
, the Company, as a lessor, records costs to negotiate or arrange a lease that would have been incurred regardless of whether the lease was obtained, such as legal costs incurred to negotiate an operating lease, as an expense and classify such costs as operating, maintenance, and management expense on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations, as these costs are no longer capitalizable under the definition of initial direct costs under Topic 842.
Segments
The Company has invested in opportunistic real estate, non-performing loans and other real estate-related assets. In general, the Company intends to hold its investments in opportunistic real estate, non-performing loans and other real estate-related assets for capital appreciation. Traditional performance metrics of opportunistic real estate, non-performing loans and other real estate-related assets may not be meaningful as these investments are generally non-stabilized and do not provide a consistent stream of interest income or rental revenue. These investments exhibit similar long-term financial performance and have similar economic characteristics. These investments typically involve a higher degree of risk and do not provide a constant stream of ongoing cash flows. As a result, the Company’s management views opportunistic real estate, non-performing loans and other real estate-related assets as similar investments. Substantially all of its revenue and net income (loss) is from opportunistic real estate, non-performing loans and other real estate-related assets, and therefore, the Company currently aggregates its operating segments into
one
reportable business segment.
Per Share Data
Basic net income (loss) per share of common stock is calculated by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding during such period. Diluted net income (loss) per share of common stock equals basic net income (loss) per share of common stock as there were
no
potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the
three
months ended
March 31, 2019
and
2018
.
Distributions declared per share were
$0.008600
and
$0.015975
during the
three
months ended
March 31, 2019
and
2018
, respectively.
Square Footage, Occupancy and Other Measures
Any references to square footage, occupancy or annualized base rent are unaudited and outside the scope of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm’s review of the Company’s financial statements in accordance with the standards of the United States Public Company Accounting Oversight Board.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards Updates
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13,
Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses of Financial Instruments
(“ASU No. 2016-13”). ASU No. 2016-13 affects entities holding financial assets and net investments in leases that are not accounted for at fair value through net income. The amendments in ASU No. 2016-13 require a financial asset (or a group of financial assets) measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial asset(s) to present the net carrying value at the amount expected to be collected on the financial asset. ASU No. 2016-13 also amends the impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities. An entity will recognize an allowance for credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities as a contra-account to the amortized cost basis rather than as a direct reduction of the amortized cost basis of the investment, as is currently required. ASU No. 2016-13 also requires new disclosures. For financial assets measured at amortized cost, an entity will be required to disclose information about how it developed its allowance for credit losses, including changes in the factors that influenced management’s estimate of expected credit losses and the reasons for those changes. For financing receivables and net investments in leases measured at amortized cost, an entity will be required to further disaggregate the information it currently discloses about the credit quality of these assets by year of the asset’s origination for as many as five annual periods. For available-for-sale debt securities, an entity will be required to provide a roll-forward of the allowance for credit losses and an aging analysis for securities that are past due. ASU No. 2016-13 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is still evaluating the impact of adopting ASU No. 2016-13 on its financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13,
Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820):
Disclosure Framework -Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement
(“ASU No. 2018-13”). The primary focus of ASU 2018-13 is to improve the effectiveness of the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. ASU No. 2018-13 removes the requirement to disclose the amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the policy for the timing of transfers between levels and the valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements. It also adds a requirement to disclose changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in other comprehensive income for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements held at the end of the reporting period and to disclose the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop recurring and nonrecurring Level 3 fair value measurements. For certain unobservable inputs, entities may disclose other quantitative information in lieu of the weighted average if the other quantitative information would be a more reasonable and rational method to reflect the distribution of unobservable inputs used to develop the Level 3 fair value measurement. In addition, public entities are required to provide information about the measurement uncertainty of recurring Level 3 fair value measurements from the use of significant unobservable inputs if those inputs reasonably could have been different at the reporting date. ASU No. 2018-13 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Entities are permitted to early adopt either the entire standard or only the provisions that eliminate or modify the requirements. The amendments on changes in unrealized gains and losses, the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements, and the narrative description of measurement uncertainty should be applied prospectively for only the most recent interim or annual period presented in the initial fiscal year of adoption. All other amendments should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented upon their effective date. The Company is still evaluating the impact of adopting ASU No. 2018-13 on its financial statements, but does not expect the adoption of ASU No. 2018-13 to have a material impact on its financial statements.

Operating Leases
Certain of the Company’s real estate properties are leased to tenants under operating leases for which the terms and expirations vary. As of
March 31, 2019
, the leases, excluding options to extend and apartment leases, which have terms that are generally
one
year or less, had remaining terms of up to
13.2
years with a weighted-average remaining term of
4.9
years. Some of the leases have provisions to extend the lease agreements, options for early termination after paying a specified penalty and other terms and conditions as negotiated. The Company retains substantially all of the risks and benefits of ownership of the real estate assets leased to tenants. Generally, upon the execution of a lease, the Company requires a security deposit from tenants in the form of a cash deposit and/or a letter of credit. The amount required as a security deposit varies depending upon the terms of the respective leases and the creditworthiness of the tenant, but generally are not significant amounts. Therefore, exposure to credit risk exists to the extent that a receivable from a tenant exceeds the amount of its security deposit. Security deposits received in cash and assumed in real estate acquisitions related to tenant leases are included in other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and totaled
$3.6 million
and
$3.7 million
as of
March 31, 2019
and
December 31, 2018
, respectively.
During the
three
months ended
March 31, 2019
and
2018
, the Company recognized deferred rent from tenants of
$1.3 million
and
$0.7 million
, respectively, net of lease incentive amortization. As of
March 31, 2019
and
December 31, 2018
, the cumulative deferred rent receivable balance, including unamortized lease incentive receivables, was
$11.1 million
and
$9.8 million
, respectively, and is included in rents and other receivables on the accompanying balance sheets. The cumulative deferred rent balance included
$1.3 million
of unamortized lease incentives as of
March 31, 2019
and
December 31, 2018
.
As of
March 31, 2019
, the future minimum rental income from the Company’s properties, excluding apartment leases, under non-cancelable operating leases was as follows (in thousands):

(unaudited)
No other tenant industries accounted for more than 10% of annualized base rent. No material tenant credit issues have been identified at this time. During the
three
months ended
March 31, 2019
, the Company recorded an adjustment to rental income of
$0.1 million
for lease payments that were deemed not probable of collection. During the
three
months ended
March 31, 2019
and
2018
, the Company recorded bad debt recoveries of
$0.2 million
and
$0.4 million
, respectively, which were included in operating, maintenance and management expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
Geographic Concentration Risk
As of
March 31, 2019
, the Company’s real estate investments in
California
and
Texas
represented
17.1%
and
15.4%
, respectively, of the Company’s total assets. As a result, the geographic concentration of the Company’s portfolio makes it particularly susceptible to adverse economic developments in the
California
and
Texas
real estate markets. Any adverse economic or real estate developments in these markets, such as business layoffs or downsizing, industry slowdowns, relocations of businesses, changing demographics and other factors, or any decrease in demand for office space resulting from the local business climate, could adversely affect the Company’s operating results and its ability to make distributions to stockholders.
Sale of Real Estate
As of
December 31, 2018
and
March 31, 2019
, the Company had recorded contract liabilities of
$3.1 million
related to deferred proceeds received from the buyers of the Park Highlands land sales and another developer for the value of land that was contributed to a master association that is consolidated by the Company, which was included in other liabilities on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Israeli Bond Financing
On March 2, 2016, KBS Strategic Opportunity BVI, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, filed a final prospectus with the Israel Securities Authority for a proposed offering of up to
1,000,000,000
Israeli new Shekels of the Debentures at an annual interest rate not to exceed
4.25%
. On March 1, 2016, KBS Strategic Opportunity BVI commenced the institutional tender of the Debentures and accepted application for
842.5 million
Israeli new Shekels. On March 7, 2016, KBS Strategic Opportunity BVI commenced the public tender of the Debentures and accepted
127.7 million
Israeli new Shekels. In the aggregate, KBS Strategic Opportunity BVI accepted
970.2 million
Israeli new Shekels (approximately
$249.2 million
as of
March 8, 2016
) in both the institutional and public tenders at an annual interest rate of
4.25%
. KBS Strategic Opportunity BVI issued the Debentures on March 8, 2016. The terms of the Debentures require five equal annual installment principal payments on March 1st of each year from 2019 to 2023. On
March 1, 2019

|
DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
|
The Company enters into derivative instruments for risk management purposes to hedge its exposure to cash flow variability caused by changing interest rates and foreign currency exchange rate movements. The primary goal of the Company’s risk management practices related to interest rate risk is to prevent changes in interest rates from adversely impacting the Company’s ability to achieve its investment return objectives. The Company does not enter into derivatives for speculative purposes.
The Company enters into foreign currency options and foreign currency collars to mitigate its exposure to foreign currency exchange rate movements on its bonds payable outstanding denominated in Israeli new Shekels. A foreign currency collar consists of a purchased call option to buy and a sold put option to sell Israeli new Shekels. A foreign currency collar guarantees that the exchange rate of the currency will not fluctuate beyond the range of the options’ strike prices. A foreign currency option consists of a call option to buy Israeli new Shekels.

The Company enters into interest rate caps to mitigate its exposure to rising interest rates on its variable rate notes payable. The values of interest rate caps are primarily impacted by interest rates, market expectations about interest rates, and the remaining life of the instrument. In general, increases in interest rates, or anticipated increases in interest rates, will increase the value of interest rate caps. As the remaining life of an interest rate cap decreases, the value of the instrument will generally decrease towards zero.
As of

FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES
|
Under GAAP, the Company is required to measure certain financial instruments at fair value on a recurring basis. In addition, the Company is required to measure other non-financial and financial assets at fair value on a non-recurring basis (e.g., carrying value of impaired real estate loans receivable and long-lived assets). Fair value is defined as the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The GAAP fair value framework uses a three-tiered approach. Fair value measurements are classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:
|
|
•
|
Level 1: unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities;
|
|
|
•
|
Level 2: quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-derived valuations in which significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets; and
|
|
|
•
|
Level 3: prices or valuation techniques where little or no market data is available that requires inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.
|
The fair value for certain financial instruments is derived using valuation techniques that involve significant management judgment. The price transparency of financial instruments is a key determinant of the degree of judgment involved in determining the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments. Financial instruments for which actively quoted prices or pricing parameters are available and for which markets contain orderly transactions will generally have a higher degree of price transparency than financial instruments for which markets are inactive or consist of non-orderly trades. The Company evaluates several factors when determining if a market is inactive or when market transactions are not orderly. The following is a summary of the methods and assumptions used by management in estimating the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate the fair value:
Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, rent and other receivables and accounts payable and accrued liabilities:
These balances approximate their fair values due to the short maturities of these items.
Real estate equity securities
: The Company’s real estate equity securities are presented at fair value on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. The fair values of the real estate equity securities were based on quoted prices in an active market on a major stock exchange. The Company classifies these inputs as Level 1 inputs.
Real estate debt securities
: The Company’s real estate debt securities are presented in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets at their amortized cost net of recorded loss reserves (if any) and not at fair value. The fair value of real estate debt securities was estimated using an internal valuation model that considers the expected cash flows for the debt securities, underlying collateral values (for collateral dependent securities) and estimated yield requirements of institutional investors for real estate debt securities with similar characteristics, including remaining term, type of collateral and other credit enhancements. The Company classifies these inputs as Level 3 inputs.

(unaudited)
Notes and bonds payable:
The fair values of the Company’s notes and bonds payable are estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis based on management’s estimates of current market interest rates for instruments with similar characteristics, including remaining loan term, loan-to-value ratio, type of collateral and other credit enhancements. Additionally, when determining the fair value of liabilities in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for an identical liability is not available, the Company measures fair value using (i) a valuation technique that uses the quoted price of the identical liability when traded as an asset or quoted prices for similar liabilities or similar liabilities when traded as assets or (ii) another valuation technique that is consistent with the principles of fair value measurement, such as the income approach or the market approach. The Company classifies these inputs as Level 3 inputs. The Company’s bonds issued in Israel are publicly traded on the Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange. The Company used the quoted price as of
March 31, 2019
for the fair value of its bonds issued in Israel. The Company classifies this input as a Level 1 input.
Derivative
instruments
: The Company’s derivative instruments are presented at fair value on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The valuation of these instruments is determined using a proprietary model that utilizes observable inputs. As such, the Company classifies these inputs as Level 2 inputs. The fair value of interest rate caps (floors) are determined using the market standard methodology of discounting the future expected cash payments (receipts) which would occur if variable interest rates rise above (below) the strike rate of the caps (floors). The variable interest rates used in the calculation of projected payments (receipts) on the cap (floor) are based on an expectation of future interest rates derived from observed market interest rate curves and volatilities. The fair value of foreign currency option and collar is based on a Black-Scholes model tailored for currency derivatives.
The following were the face values, carrying amounts and fair values of the Company’s financial instruments as of
March 31, 2019
and

Disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments is based on pertinent information available to the Company as of the period end and requires a significant amount of judgment. This has made the estimation of fair values difficult and, therefore, both the actual results and the Company’s estimate of value at a future date could be materially different.

On May 18, 2012, the Company, through an indirect wholly owned subsidiary, entered into a joint venture (the “NIP Joint Venture”) with OCM NIP JV Holdings, L.P. and HC KBS NIP JV, LLC (“HC-KBS”). The NIP Joint Venture has invested in a portfolio of industrial properties. The Company made an initial capital contribution of
$8.0 million
, which represents less than a
5.0%
ownership interest in the NIP Joint Venture as of
March 31, 2019
.
Prior to January 17, 2018, KBS REIT I, an affiliate of the Advisor, was a member of HC-KBS and had a participation interest in certain future potential profits generated by the NIP Joint Venture. However, KBS REIT I did not have any equity interest in the NIP Joint Venture. On January 17, 2018, KBS REIT I assigned its participation interest in the NIP Joint Venture to one of the other joint venture partners in the NIP Joint Venture. None of the other joint venture partners are affiliated with the Company or the Advisor.
During the
three

On December 23, 2013, the Company, through an indirect wholly owned subsidiary, entered into an agreement with SREF III 110 William JV, LLC (the “110 William JV Partner”) to form a joint venture (the “110 William Joint Venture”). On May 2, 2014, the 110 William Joint Venture acquired an office property containing
928,157
rentable square feet located on approximately
0.8
acres of land in New York, New York (“110 William Street”). Each of the Company and the 110 William JV Partner hold a
60%
and
40%
ownership interest in the 110 William Joint Venture, respectively.
The Company exercises significant influence over the operations, financial policies and decision making with respect to the 110 William Joint Venture but significant decisions require approval from both members. Accordingly, the Company has accounted for its investment in the 110 William Joint Venture under the equity method of accounting. Income, losses, contributions and distributions are generally allocated based on the members’ respective equity interests.
As of
December 31, 2018
, the book value of the Company’s investment in the 110 William Joint Venture was
$0.3 million
, which includes
$1.4 million
of unamortized acquisition fees and expenses incurred directly by the Company. During the
three
months ended
March 31, 2018

$0.3 million
. During the
three
months ended
March 31, 2019
, the 110 William Joint Venture made a
$7.8 million
distribution to the Company and a
$5.2 million
distribution to the 110 William JV Partner funded with proceeds from the 110 William refinancing (discussed below). The distribution exceeded the book value of the Company’s investment in the 110 William Joint Venture, and the Company recorded the
$7.8 million
distribution as a gain included in equity in income of unconsolidated joint ventures during the
three
months ended
March 31, 2019
. This gain was recorded because the Company determined that the distribution is not refundable and it does not have an implicit or explicit commitment to fund the 110 William Joint Venture. The Company will suspend the equity method of accounting and will not record the Company's share of losses and will not record the Company's share of any subsequent income for the 110 William Joint Venture until the Company’s share of net income exceeds the gain recorded and the Company’s share of the net losses not recognized during the period the equity method was suspended.

110 William Street Refinancing
On March 7, 2019, the 110 William Joint Venture closed on refinancing of the 110 William Street existing loans (the “Refinancing”). The 110 William Joint Venture repaid
$268.0 million
of principal related to the existing 110 William Street loans. The Refinancing is comprised of a mortgage loan with Invesco CMI Investments, L.P., an unaffiliated lender, for borrowings of up to
$261.4 million
, which is secured by 110 William Street (the “110 William Street Mortgage Loan”) and a mezzanine loan with Invesco CMI Investments, L.P., an unaffiliated lender, for borrowings of up to
$87.1 million
(the “110 William Street Mezzanine Loan”). The 110 William Street Mortgage Loan is comprised of a senior mortgage loan of
$215.5 million
(the “Senior Mortgage Loan”) and an amended and restated building loan of
$45.9 million
(the “Building Loan”) to be use for future tenant improvements, leasing commissions and capital expenditures.
The 110 William Street Mortgage Loan and the 110 William Street Mezzanine Loan mature on April 9, 2021, with
three
one
-year extension options. The 110 William Street Mortgage Loan bears interest at a rate of the greater of (a)
3.5%
or (b)
150
basis points over one-month LIBOR. The 110 William Street Mezzanine Loan bears interest at a rate of the greater of (a)
6.9%
or (b)
490
basis points over one-month LIBOR. The 110 William Joint Venture entered into an interest rate cap that effectively limits one-month LIBOR at
3.75%
on
$348.5 million
, effective March 7, 2019 through March 15, 2021. The 110 William Street Mortgage Loan and the 110 William Street Mezzanine Loan have monthly payments that are interest-only with the entire unpaid principal balance and all outstanding interest and fees due at maturity. The 110 William Joint Venture has the right to prepay the loans at any time in whole, but not in part, subject to a prepayment fee if prepaid prior to May 9, 2020 and subject to certain other conditions contained in the loan documents. At closing,
$210.8 million
of the Senior Mortgage Loan and
$70.3 million
of the 110 William Street Mezzanine Loan was funded with
$4.7 million
of the Senior Mortgage Loan,
$45.9 million
of the Building Loan and
$16.8 million
of the 110 William Street Mezzanine Loan available for future funding, subject to certain terms and conditions contained in the loan documents.

Investment in 353 Sacramento Joint Venture
On July 6, 2017, the Company, through an indirect wholly owned subsidiary, entered into an agreement with the Migdal Members to form a joint venture (the “353 Sacramento Joint Venture”). On July 6, 2017, the Company sold a
45%
equity interest in an entity that owns an office building containing
284,751
rentable square feet located on approximately
0.35
acres of land in San Francisco, California (“353 Sacramento”) to the Migdal Members. The sale resulted in 353 Sacramento being owned by the 353 Sacramento Joint Venture, in which the Company indirectly owns
55%
of the equity interests and the Migdal Members indirectly own
45%
in the aggregate of the equity interests.
The Company exercises significant influence over the operations, financial policies and decision making with respect to the 353 Sacramento Joint Venture but significant decisions require approval from both members. Accordingly, the Company has accounted for its investment in the 353 Sacramento Joint Venture under the equity method of accounting. Income, losses, contributions and distributions are generally allocated based on the members’ respective equity interests.
During the
three
months ended
March 31, 2019
and
2018
, the Company did
no
t receive any distributions related to its investment in the 353 Sacramento Joint Venture.

Battery Point Series A-3 Preferred Units
Beginning October 28, 2016, the Company invested in Battery Point Series B Preferred Units which were classified as real estate debt securities on the Company’s accompanying balance sheets (see note
6
“Real Estate Debt Securities” for further information). On March 20, 2019, the Company, through an indirect wholly owned subsidiary, entered into a redemption agreement for the Battery Point Series B Preferred Units. The redemption agreement resulted in the redemption of the Company’s entire investment of
13,000
Series B Preferred Units with a per-unit price of
$1,000
with an aggregate outstanding principal balance of
$13 million
. The Company received a principal paydown of
$7.7 million
plus accrued interest and an exit fee. In addition, the Company received
210,000
shares of Battery Point Series A-3 Preferred Units with a per-unit price of
$25
with an aggregate face amount of
$5.3 million
. The Battery Point Series A-3 Preferred Units are entitled to a monthly dividend based on an annual rate of
7.5%
. The annual dividend rate increases to
10%
for the Battery Point Series A-3 Preferred Units not redeemed by February 28, 2020 and to
11%
for the Battery Point Series A-3 Preferred Units not redeemed by February 28, 2021. On each monthly dividend payment date, Battery Point has the obligation to use
20%
of the net proceeds of any and all future equity capital raising to redeem the Series A-3 Preferred Units. The Battery Point Series A-3 Preferred Units are redeemable at any time by Battery Point and holders of Series A-3 Preferred Shares may elect to redeem their units beginning on February 28, 2021, subject to Battery Point’s board of directors’ determination that the company has sufficient cash.
The Company does not have a unilateral right to redeem the Battery Point Series A-3 Preferred Units on a stated redemption date, therefore the Company classified the Series A-3 Preferred Units as an equity investment without a readily determinable fair value. In accordance with FASB ASC 321,
Investments - Equity Securities
, the Company may elect to measure an equity investment without a readily determinable value that does not qualify for the practical expedient to estimate fair value using the net asset value per share, at its cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer. The Company elected to measure its investment in the Battery Point Series A-3 Preferred Units in accordance with the above accounting guidance and recorded its investment in the Battery Point Series A-3 Preferred Units as of
March 31, 2019
, at a carrying value of
$3.0 million

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
|
Economic Dependency
The Company is dependent on the Advisor for certain services that are essential to the Company, including the identification, evaluation, negotiation, origination, acquisition and disposition of investments; management of the daily operations of the Company’s investment portfolio; and other general and administrative responsibilities. In the event that the Advisor is unable to provide these services, the Company will be required to obtain such services from other sources.
Environmental
As an owner of real estate, the Company is subject to various environmental laws of federal, state and local governments. Although there can be no assurance, the Company is not aware of any environmental liability that could have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations as of
March 31, 2019
. However, changes in applicable environmental laws and regulations, the uses and conditions of properties in the vicinity of the Company’s properties, the activities of its tenants and other environmental conditions of which the Company is unaware with respect to the properties could result in future environmental liabilities.
Legal Matters
From time to time, the Company is a party to legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of its business. Management is not aware of any legal proceedings of which the outcome is probable or reasonably possible to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition, which would require accrual or disclosure of the contingency and the possible range of loss. Additionally, the Company has not recorded any loss contingencies related to legal proceedings in which the potential loss is deemed to be remote.
Participation Fee Liability
Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement currently in effect with the Advisor, the Advisor is due a subordinated participation in the Company’s net cash flows (the “Incentive Fee”) if, after the stockholders have received, together as a collective group, aggregate distributions (including distributions that may constitute a return of capital for federal income tax purposes) sufficient to provide (i) a return of their net invested capital, or the amount calculated by multiplying the total number of shares purchased by stockholders by the issue price, reduced by any amounts to repurchase shares pursuant to the share redemption program, and (ii) a
7.0%
per year cumulative, noncompounded return on such net invested capital, the Advisor is entitled to receive
15.0%
of the Company’s net cash flows, whether from continuing operations, net sale proceeds or otherwise. Net sales proceeds means the net cash proceeds realized by the Company after deduction of all expenses incurred in connection with a sale, including disposition fees paid to the Advisor. The
7.0%
per year cumulative, noncompounded return on net invested capital is calculated on a daily basis. In making this calculation, the net invested capital is reduced to the extent distributions in excess of a cumulative, noncompounded, annual return of
7.0%
are paid (from whatever source), except to the extent such distributions would be required to supplement prior distributions paid in order to achieve a cumulative, noncompounded, annual return of
7.0%
(invested capital is only reduced as described in this sentence; it is not reduced simply because a distribution constitutes a return of capital for federal income tax purposes). The
7.0%
per year cumulative, noncompounded return is not based on the return provided to any individual stockholder. Accordingly, it is not necessary for each of the stockholders to have received any minimum return in order for the Advisor to participate in the Company’s net cash flows. In fact, if the Advisor is entitled to participate in the Company’s net cash flows, the returns of the stockholders will differ, and some may be less than a
7.0%
per year cumulative, noncompounded return. This fee is payable only if we are not listed on an exchange.

On April 4, 2018, the Company’s stockholders approved the acceleration of the payment of such incentive compensation, subject to certain conditions. Such accelerated payment would require approval by a special committee of the Company’s board of directors in connection with the anticipated conversion of the Company into a net asset value REIT. The Advisor estimated the fair value of this liability to be as much as
$43 million
as of
March 31, 2019
, based on a hypothetical liquidation of the assets and liabilities at their estimated fair values, after considering the impact of any potential closing costs and fees related to the disposition of real estate properties. The fair value of the Incentive Fee liability as of
March 31, 2019
is based on the estimated fair values of the Company’s assets and liabilities as of that date and changes to the fair values of assets and liabilities could have a material impact to the Incentive Fee calculation. The Incentive Fee is not currently payable to the Advisor, as it remains subject to further approval by the special committee and the Company’s conversion to a perpetual-life NAV REIT, and there is no guarantee that it will ever be payable.
The Company evaluates subsequent events up until the date the consolidated financial statements are issued.
Probable Real Estate Acquisition
Georgia 400 Center
On
May 1, 2019
, the Company, through an indirect wholly owned subsidiary (the “Buyer”), entered into a purchase and sale agreement to purchase an office property consisting of
three
buildings containing an aggregate of
416,463
rentable square feet located on an aggregate of
24.4
acres of land in Alpharetta, Georgia (“Georgia 400 Center”). On
April 12, 2019
, the Advisor entered into a purchase and sale agreement to purchase Georgia 400 Center and on May
1
, 2019, the Advisor subsequently assigned the purchase and sale agreement, as amended, to the Buyer for
$1.0 million
, which is the amount of the initial deposit paid by the Advisor. The seller is not affiliated with the Company or the Advisor.
Pursuant to the purchase and sale agreement, the Company would be obligated to purchase the property only after satisfactory completion of agreed upon closing conditions. There can be no assurance that the Company will complete the acquisition. In some circumstances, if the Company fails to complete the acquisition, it may forfeit up to
$3.0 million
of earnest money. The contractual purchase price of Georgia 400 Center is
$91.0 million
plus closing costs. Georgia 400 Center was built between 1998 and 2001 and is currently
85%
leased to
31
tenants.
Distribution Declared
On
May 13, 2019
, the Company’s board of directors authorized a distribution in the amount of
$0.00860000
per share of common stock to stockholders of record as of the close of business on
June 14, 2019
. The Company expects to pay this distribution on or about
June 19, 2019
.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
|
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the accompanying financial statements of KBS Strategic Opportunity REIT, Inc. and the notes thereto. As used herein, the terms “we,” “our” and “us” refer to KBS Strategic Opportunity REIT, Inc., a Maryland corporation, and, as required by context, KBS Strategic Opportunity Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership, which we refer to as the “Operating Partnership,” and to their subsidiaries.
Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are forward-looking statements. Those statements include statements regarding the intent, belief or current expectations of KBS Strategic Opportunity REIT, Inc. and members of our management team, as well as the assumptions on which such statements are based, and generally are identified by the use of words such as “may,” “will,” “seeks,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “plans,” “intends,” “should” or similar expressions. Actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements. Further, forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and we undertake no obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements to reflect changed assumptions, the occurrence of unanticipated events or changes to future operating results over time, unless required by law.
The following are some of the risks and uncertainties, although not all of the risks and uncertainties, that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those presented in our forward-looking statements:
|
|
•
|
We depend on tenants for our revenue and, accordingly, our revenue is dependent upon the success and economic viability of our tenants. Revenues from our property investments could decrease due to a reduction in tenants (caused by factors including, but not limited to, tenant defaults, tenant insolvency, early termination of tenant leases and non-renewal of existing tenant leases) and/or lower rental rates, limiting our ability to pay distributions to our stockholders.
|
|
|
•
|
Our opportunistic investment strategy involves a higher risk of loss than would a strategy of investing in some other types of real estate and real estate-related investments.
|
|
|
•
|
We have paid distributions from financings and in the future we may not pay distributions solely from our cash flow from operations or gains from asset sales. To the extent that we pay distributions from sources other than our cash flow from operations or gains from asset sales, we will have less funds available for investment in loans, properties and other assets, the overall return to our stockholders may be reduced and subsequent investors may experience dilution.
|
|
|
•
|
All of our executive officers and some of our directors and other key real estate and debt finance professionals are also officers, directors, managers, key professionals and/or holders of a direct or indirect controlling interest in our advisor, our dealer manager and other KBS-affiliated entities. As a result, they face conflicts of interest, including significant conflicts created by our advisor’s compensation arrangements with us and other KBS-advised programs and investors and conflicts in allocating time among us and these other programs and investors. These conflicts could result in unanticipated actions. Fees paid to our advisor in connection with transactions involving the origination, acquisition and management of our investments are based on the cost of the investment, not on the quality of the investment or services rendered to us. This arrangement could influence our advisor to recommend riskier transactions to us.
|
|
|
•
|
We pay substantial fees to and expenses of our advisor and its affiliates. These payments increase the risk that our stockholders will not earn a profit on their investment in us and increase our stockholders’ risk of loss.
|
|
|
•
|
We cannot predict with any certainty how much, if any, of our dividend reinvestment plan proceeds will be available for general corporate purposes, including, but not limited to, the redemption of shares under our share redemption program, future funding obligations under any real estate loans receivable we acquire, the funding of capital expenditures on our real estate investments or the repayment of debt. If such funds are not available from the dividend reinvestment plan offering, then we may have to use a greater proportion of our cash flow from operations to meet these cash requirements, which would reduce cash available for distributions and could limit our ability to redeem shares under our share redemption program.
|
|
|
•
|
We have focused, and may continue to focus, our investments in non-performing real estate and real estate-related loans, real estate-related loans secured by non-stabilized assets and real estate-related securities, which involve more risk than investments in performing real estate and real estate-related assets
|
All forward-looking statements should be read in light of the risks identified in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2018
, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

Overview
We were formed on October 8, 2008 as a Maryland corporation, elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) beginning with the taxable year ended December 31, 2010 and intend to operate in such manner. KBS Capital Advisors LLC (“KBS Capital Advisors”) is our advisor. As our advisor, KBS Capital Advisors manages our day-to-day operations and our portfolio of investments. KBS Capital Advisors also has the authority to make all of the decisions regarding our investments, subject to the limitations in our charter and the direction and oversight of our board of directors. KBS Capital Advisors also provides asset-management, marketing, investor-relations and other administrative services on our behalf. We have sought to invest in and manage a diverse portfolio of real estate‑related loans, opportunistic real estate, real estate-related debt securities and other real estate-related investments. We conduct our business primarily through our operating partnership, of which we are the sole general partner.
On January 8, 2009, we filed a registration statement on Form S-11 with the SEC to offer a minimum of 250,000 shares and a maximum of 140,000,000 shares of common stock for sale to the public, of which 100,000,000 shares were registered in our primary offering and 40,000,000 shares were registered under our dividend reinvestment plan. We ceased offering shares of common stock in our primary offering on November 14, 2012. We sold
56,584,976
shares of common stock in the primary offering for gross offering proceeds of
$561.7 million
. We continue to offer shares of common stock under the dividend reinvestment plan. As of
March 31, 2019
, we had sold
6,772,410
shares of common stock under the dividend reinvestment plan for gross offering proceeds of
$75.7 million
. Also as of
March 31, 2019
, we had redeemed
23,045,646
of the shares sold in our offering for
$277.9 million
. As of
March 31, 2019
, we had issued
25,976,746
shares of common stock in connection with special dividends. Additionally, on December 29, 2011 and October 23, 2012, we issued
220,994
shares and
55,249
shares of common stock, respectively, for
$2.0 million
and
$0.5 million
, respectively, in private transactions exempt from the registration requirements pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
On March 2, 2016, KBS Strategic Opportunity (BVI) Holdings, Ltd. (“KBS Strategic Opportunity BVI”), our wholly owned subsidiary, filed a final prospectus with the Israel Securities Authority for a proposed offering of up to 1,000,000,000 Israeli new Shekels of Series A debentures (the “Debentures”) at an annual interest rate not to exceed 4.25%. On March 1, 2016, KBS Strategic Opportunity BVI commenced the institutional tender of the Debentures and accepted application for 842.5 million Israeli new Shekels. On March 7, 2016, KBS Strategic Opportunity BVI commenced the public tender of the Debentures and accepted 127.7 million Israeli new Shekels. In the aggregate, KBS Strategic Opportunity BVI accepted 970.2 million Israeli new Shekels (approximately
$249.2 million
as of
March 8, 2016
) in both the institutional and public tenders at an annual interest rate of 4.25%. KBS Strategic Opportunity BVI issued the Debentures on March 8, 2016. The terms of the Debentures require five equal principal installment payments annually on March 1st of each year from 2019 to 2023.
As of
March 31, 2019
, we consolidated
six
office properties,
one
office portfolio consisting of
four
office buildings and
14
acres of undeveloped land,
one
retail property,
one
apartment property and
three
investments in undeveloped land with approximately
1,000
developable acres and owned
four
investments in unconsolidated joint ventures and
three
investments in real estate equity securities.
Market Outlook – Real Estate and Real Estate Finance Markets
Volatility in global financial markets and changing political environments can cause fluctuations in the performance of the U.S. commercial real estate markets. Possible future declines in rental rates, slower or potentially negative net absorption of leased space and expectations of future rental concessions, including free rent to renew tenants early, to retain tenants who are up for renewal or to attract new tenants, may result in decreases in cash flows from investment properties. To the extent there are increases in the cost of financing due to higher interest rates, this may cause difficulty in refinancing debt obligations at terms as favorable as the terms of existing indebtedness. Further, increases in interest rates would increase the amount of our debt payments on our variable rate debt to the extent the interest rates on such debt are not limited by interest rate caps. Market conditions can change quickly, potentially negatively impacting the value of real estate investments. Management continuously reviews our investment and debt financing strategies to optimize our portfolio and the cost of our debt exposure.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal demand for funds during the short and long-term is and will be for the acquisition of real estate and real estate-related investments, payment of operating expenses, capital expenditures and general and administrative expenses, payments under debt obligations, redemptions and purchases of our common stock and payments of distributions to stockholders. To date, we have had six primary sources of capital for meeting our cash requirements:
|
|
•
|
Proceeds from the primary portion of our initial public offering;
|
|
|
•
|
Proceeds from our dividend reinvestment plan;
|
|
|
•
|
Proceeds from our public bond offering in Israel;
|
|
|
•
|
Proceeds from the sale of real estate and the repayment of real estate-related investments; and
|
|
|
•
|
Cash flow generated by our real estate and real estate-related investments.
|
We sold
56,584,976
shares of common stock in the primary portion of our initial public offering for gross offering proceeds of
$561.7 million
. We ceased offering shares in the primary portion of our initial public offering on November 14, 2012. We continue to offer shares of common stock under the dividend reinvestment plan. As of
March 31, 2019
, we had sold
6,772,410
shares of common stock under the dividend reinvestment plan for gross offering proceeds of
$75.7 million
. To date, we have invested all of the net proceeds from our initial public offering in real estate and real estate-related investments. We intend to use our cash on hand, proceeds from asset sales, proceeds from debt financing, cash flow generated by our real estate operations and real estate-related investments and proceeds from our dividend reinvestment plan as our primary sources of immediate and long-term liquidity.
Our investments in real estate generate cash flow in the form of rental revenues and tenant reimbursements, which are reduced by operating expenditures and corporate general and administrative expenses. Cash flow from operations from our real estate investments is primarily dependent upon the occupancy levels of our properties, the net effective rental rates on our leases, the collectibility of rent and operating recoveries from our tenants and how well we manage our expenditures. As of
March 31, 2019
, our office and retail properties were collectively
74%
occupied and our apartment property was
94%
occupied.
Investments in real estate equity securities generate cash flow in the form of dividend income, which is reduced by asset management fees. As of
March 31, 2019
, we had
three
investments in real estate equity securities outstanding with a total carrying value of
$61.0 million
.
Under our charter, we are required to limit our total operating expenses to the greater of 2% of our average invested assets or 25% of our net income for the four most recently completed fiscal quarters, as these terms are defined in our charter, unless the conflicts committee of our board of directors has determined that such excess expenses were justified based on unusual and non-recurring factors. Operating expense reimbursements for the four fiscal quarters ended
March 31, 2019
did not exceed the charter-imposed limitation.
For the
three
months ended
March 31, 2019
, our cash needs for capital expenditures, redemptions of common stock and debt servicing were met with proceeds from dispositions of real estate and undeveloped land, proceeds from debt financing, proceeds from our dividend reinvestment plan and cash on hand. Operating cash needs during the same period were met through cash flow generated by our real estate and real estate-related investments and cash on hand. As of
March 31, 2019
, we had outstanding debt obligations in the aggregate principal amount of
$595.8 million
, with a weighted-average remaining term of
2.3
years. As of
March 31, 2019
, we had a total of
$154.0 million
of debt obligations scheduled to mature within 12 months of that date. We plan to exercise our extension options available under our loan agreements or pay down or refinance the related notes payable prior to their maturity dates.
We have elected to be taxed as a REIT and intend to operate as a REIT. To maintain our qualification as a REIT, we are required to make aggregate annual distributions to our stockholders of at least 90% of our REIT taxable income (computed without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding net capital gain). Our board of directors may authorize distributions in excess of those required for us to maintain REIT status depending on our financial condition and such other factors as our board of directors deems relevant. We have not established a minimum distribution level.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities
As of
March 31, 2019
, we consolidated
six
office properties,
one
office portfolio consisting of
four
office buildings and
14
acres of undeveloped land,
one
retail property,
one
apartment property and
three
investments in undeveloped land with approximately
1,000
developable acres and owned
four
investments in unconsolidated joint ventures and
three
investments in real estate equity securities. During the
three
months ended
March 31, 2019
, net cash
used in
operating activities was
$7.6 million
. We expect that our cash flows from operating activities will increase in future periods as a result of leasing additional space that is currently unoccupied and anticipated future acquisitions of real estate and real estate-related investments. However, our cash flows from operating activities may decrease to the extent that we dispose of additional assets.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Net cash
provided by
investing activities was
$49.4 million
for the
three
months ended
March 31, 2019
and primarily consisted of the following:
|
|
•
|
Proceeds from the sale of real estate equity securities of
$24.1 million
;
|
|
|
•
|
Proceeds from the sale of
one
apartment property of
$17.9 million
;
|
|
|
•
|
Improvements to real estate of
$8.1 million
;
|
|
|
•
|
Distribution of capital from an unconsolidated joint venture of
$7.8 million
; and
|
|
|
•
|
Proceeds from the principal repayment on real estate debt securities of
$7.8 million
.
|
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Net cash
used in
financing activities was
$54.4 million
for the
three
months ended
March 31, 2019
and consisted primarily of the following:
|
|
•
|
$51.7 million
of net cash provided by debt and other financings as a result of proceeds from notes payable of
$2.6 million
, partially offset by principal payments on notes and bonds payable of
$54.3 million
;
|
|
|
•
|
$2.5 million
of cash used for redemptions of common stock;
|
|
|
•
|
$1.8 million
of net cash provided by the issuance of
$1.9 million
of preferred membership units of our subsidiary, partially offset by sale commissions and other costs of $0.1 million;
|
|
|
•
|
$1.7 million
of distributions to noncontrolling interests; and
|
|
|
•
|
$0.3 million
of net cash distributions to stockholders, after giving effect to distributions reinvested by stockholders of
$0.3 million
.
|
In order to execute our investment strategy, we utilize secured debt and we may, to the extent available, utilize unsecured debt, to finance a portion of our investment portfolio. Management remains vigilant in monitoring the risks inherent with the use of debt in our portfolio and is taking actions to ensure that these risks, including refinancing and interest risks, are properly balanced with the benefit of using leverage. There is no limitation on the amount we may borrow for any single investment. Our charter limits our total liabilities such that our total liabilities may not exceed 75% of the cost of our tangible assets; however, we may exceed that limit if a majority of the conflicts committee approves each borrowing in excess of our charter limitation and we disclose such borrowing to our common stockholders in our next quarterly report with an explanation from the conflicts committee of the justification for the excess borrowing. As of
March 31, 2019
, our borrowings and other liabilities were approximately
66%
of the cost (before depreciation and other noncash reserves) and
65%
of the book value (before depreciation) of our tangible assets.
In March 2016, we, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, issued 970.2 million Israeli new Shekels (approximately
$249.2 million
as of
March 8, 2016
) in 4.25% bonds to investors in Israel pursuant to a public offering registered in Israel. The bonds have a seven year term, with principal payable in five equal annual installments from 2019 to 2023. On
March 1, 2019
, we paid the first principal installment payment of
194.0 million
Israeli new Shekels (approximately
$53.6 million
as of
March 1, 2019
). We have used the proceeds from the issuance of these bonds to make additional investments.

In addition to making investments in accordance with our investment objectives, we use or have used our capital resources to make certain payments to our advisor and our dealer manager. During our offering stage, these payments included payments to our dealer manager for selling commissions and dealer manager fees related to sales in our primary offering and payments to our dealer manager and our advisor for reimbursement of certain organization and other offering expenses related both to the primary offering and the dividend reinvestment plan. During our acquisition and development stage, we expect to continue to make payments to our advisor in connection with the selection and origination or purchase of investments, the management of our assets and costs incurred by our advisor in providing services to us as well as for any dispositions of assets (including the discounted payoff of non-performing loans).
The advisory agreement has a one-year term but may be renewed for an unlimited number of successive one-year periods upon the mutual consent of our advisor and our conflicts committee.
Among the fees payable to our advisor is an asset management fee. With respect to investments in loans and any investments other than real property, the asset management fee is a monthly fee calculated, each month, as one-twelfth of 0.75% of the lesser of (i) the amount actually paid or allocated to acquire or fund the loan or other investment, inclusive of fees and expenses related thereto and the amount of any debt associated with or used to acquire or fund such investment and (ii) the outstanding principal amount of such loan or other investment, plus the fees and expenses related to the acquisition or funding of such investment, as of the time of calculation. With respect to investments in real property, the asset management fee is a monthly fee equal to one-twelfth of 0.75% of the sum of the amount paid or allocated to acquire the investment, plus the cost of any subsequent development, construction or improvements to the property, and inclusive of fees and expenses related thereto and the amount of any debt associated with or used to acquire such investment. In the case of investments made through joint ventures, the asset management fee will be determined based on our proportionate share of the underlying investment, inclusive of our proportionate share of any fees and expenses related thereto.

Participation Fee Liability
Pursuant to the advisory agreement currently in effect with our advisor, our advisor is due a subordinated participation in our net cash flows (the “Incentive Fee”) if, after the stockholders have received, together as a collective group, aggregate distributions (including distributions that may constitute a return of capital for federal income tax purposes) sufficient to provide (i) a return of their net invested capital, or the amount calculated by multiplying the total number of shares purchased by stockholders by the issue price, reduced by any amounts to repurchase shares pursuant to the share redemption program, and (ii) a
7.0%
per year cumulative, noncompounded return on such net invested capital, our advisor is entitled to receive
15.0%
of our net cash flows, whether from continuing operations, net sale proceeds or otherwise. Net sales proceeds means the net cash proceeds we realized after deduction of all expenses incurred in connection with a sale, including disposition fees paid to our advisor. The
7.0%
per year cumulative, noncompounded return on net invested capital is calculated on a daily basis. In making this calculation, the net invested capital is reduced to the extent distributions in excess of a cumulative, noncompounded, annual return of
7.0%
are paid (from whatever source), except to the extent such distributions would be required to supplement prior distributions paid in order to achieve a cumulative, noncompounded, annual return of
7.0%
(invested capital is only reduced as described in this sentence; it is not reduced simply because a distribution constitutes a return of capital for federal income tax purposes). The
7.0%
per year cumulative, noncompounded return is not based on the return provided to any individual stockholder. Accordingly, it is not necessary for each of the stockholders to have received any minimum return in order for our advisor to participate in our net cash flows. In fact, if our advisor is entitled to participate in our net cash flows, the returns of the stockholders will differ, and some may be less than a
7.0%
per year cumulative, noncompounded return. This fee is payable only if we are not listed on an exchange.
On April 4, 2018, our stockholders approved the acceleration of the payment of such incentive compensation, subject to certain conditions. Such accelerated payment would require approval by a special committee of our board of directors in connection with our anticipated conversion into a net asset value REIT. Our advisor estimated the fair value of this liability to be as much as
$43 million
as of
March 31, 2019
, based on a hypothetical liquidation of the assets and liabilities at their estimated fair values, after considering the impact of any potential closing costs and fees related to the disposition of real estate properties. The fair value of the Incentive Fee liability as of
March 31, 2019
is based on the estimated fair values of our assets and liabilities as of that date and changes to the fair values of assets and liabilities could have a material impact to the Incentive Fee calculation. The Incentive Fee is not currently payable to our advisor, as it remains subject to further approval by the special committee and our conversion to a perpetual-life NAV REIT, and there is no guarantee that it will ever be payable.
Results of Operations
Overview
As of
March 31, 2018
, we consolidated six office properties, one office portfolio consisting of four office buildings and
14
acres of undeveloped land, one office/flex/industrial portfolio consisting of 21 buildings, one retail property, two apartment properties and three investments in undeveloped land with approximately 1,100 developable acres and owned three investments in unconsolidated joint ventures, an investment in real estate debt securities and three investments in real estate equity securities. As of
March 31, 2019
, we consolidated
six
office properties,
one
office portfolio consisting of
four
office buildings and
14
acres of undeveloped land,
one
retail property,
one
apartment property and
three
investments in undeveloped land with approximately
1,000
developable acres and owned
four
investments in unconsolidated joint ventures and
three
investments in real estate equity securities. Our results of operations for the
three
months ended
March 31, 2019
may not be indicative of those in future periods due to acquisition and disposition activities. Additionally, the occupancy in our properties has not been stabilized. As of
March 31, 2019
, our office and retail properties were collectively
74%
occupied and our apartment property was
94%
occupied. However, due to the amount of near-term lease expirations, we do not put significant emphasis on quarterly changes in occupancy (positive or negative) in the short run. Our underwriting and valuations are generally more sensitive to “terminal values” that may be realized upon the disposition of the assets in the portfolio and less sensitive to ongoing cash flows generated by the portfolio in the years leading up to an eventual sale. There are no guarantees that occupancies of our assets will increase, or that we will recognize a gain on the sale of our assets. In general, we expect that our income and expenses related to our portfolio will increase in future periods as a result of leasing additional space and acquiring additional assets but decrease due to disposition activity.

Represents the dollar amount increase (decrease) for the
three

March 31, 2019
compared to the
three
months ended
March 31, 2018
with respect to real estate and real estate-related investments owned by us during the entirety of both periods presented.
Rental income increased from
$17.3 million
for the
three
months ended
March 31, 2018
to
$18.4 million
for the
three
months ended
March 31, 2019
, primarily as a result of properties acquired in 2018 and an overall increase in rental rates, partially offset by properties disposed in 2018 and 2019. The occupancy of our office and retail properties, collectively, held throughout both periods remained consistent at
75%
as of
March 31, 2018
and
March 31, 2019
and the occupancy of our apartment property held throughout both periods decreased from
97%
as of
March 31, 2018
to
94%
as of
March 31, 2019
. Annualized base rent per square foot increased from
$21.74
as of
March 31, 2018
to
$22.95
as of
March 31, 2019
related to properties (excluding apartments) held throughout both periods. We expect rental income and tenant reimbursements to increase in future periods as a result of future acquisitions of real estate and leasing additional space, but to decrease to the extent we dispose of properties.
Other operating income increased from
$0.7 million
for the
three
months ended
March 31, 2018
to
$1.4 million
for the
three
months ended
March 31, 2019
, primarily as a result of properties acquired in 2018, partially offset by properties disposed in 2018 and 2019. We expect other operating income to increase in future periods as a result of future acquisitions of real estate, leasing additional space and increases in parking income as we stabilize properties.
Interest income from real estate debt securities decreased from
$0.5 million
for the
three
months ended
March 31, 2018
to
$0.4 million
for the
three
months ended
March 31, 2019
, primarily as a result of a decrease in average principal balance outstanding. We expect interest income from real estate debt securities to decrease as a result of the redemption of real estate debt securities on March 20, 2019.

Dividend income from real estate equity securities increased from
$1.1 million
for the
three
months ended
March 31, 2018
to
$1.8 million
for the
three
months ended
March 31, 2019
, primarily as a result of the timing of the Keppel-KBS US REIT dividends declared and additional real estate equity securities acquired in 2018, partially offset by the sale of real estate equity securities in 2018 and 2019. We expect dividend income from real estate equity securities to vary in future periods as a result of the timing of dividends declared and investment activity.
Property operating costs and real estate taxes and insurance increased from
$5.5 million
and
$2.3 million
, respectively, for the
three
months ended
March 31, 2018
to
$6.3 million
and
$3.0 million
, respectively, for the
three
months ended
March 31, 2019
, primarily as a result of properties acquired in 2018, partially offset by properties disposed in 2018 and 2019. Real estate taxes and insurance related to properties held through both periods increased during the
three
months ended
March 31, 2019
primarily as a result of a property tax reassessment of 125 John Carpenter. We expect property operating costs and real estate taxes and insurance to increase in future periods as a result of future acquisitions of real estate, increasing occupancy of our real estate assets and inflation, but to decrease to the extent we dispose of properties.
Asset management fees increased from
$1.8 million
for the
three
months ended
March 31, 2018
to
$1.9 million
for the
three
months ended
March 31, 2019
, primarily as a result of properties acquired in 2018, partially offset by properties disposed in 2018 and 2019. We expect asset management fees to increase in future periods as a result of future acquisitions of real estate and capital expenditures, but to decrease to the extent we dispose of properties. All asset management fees incurred as of
March 31, 2019
have been paid.
General and administrative expenses decreased from
$2.1 million
for the
three
months ended
March 31, 2018
to
$1.5 million
for the
three
months ended
March 31, 2019
, primarily due to decreased legal expenses incurred to evaluate certain strategic transactions. We expect general and administrative expenses to fluctuate in future periods based on investment and disposition activity.
We recognized
$2.8 million
and
$1.0 million
of foreign currency transaction loss, net, for the
three
months ended
March 31, 2019
and
2018
, respectively, related to the Series A debentures in Israel. These debentures are denominated in Israeli new Shekels and we expect to recognize foreign transaction gains and losses based on changes in foreign currency exchange rates, but expect our exposure to be limited to the extent that we have entered into foreign currency options and foreign currency collars. As of
March 31, 2019
, we had entered into
one
foreign currency collar to hedge against a change in the exchange rate of the Israeli new Shekel versus the U.S. Dollar. The foreign currency collar expires in
August 2019
and has an aggregate Israeli new Shekels notional amount of
776.2 million
. During the
three
months ended
March 31, 2019
, we recognized a
$3.0 million
gain
related to the foreign currency collars, which is shown net against
$5.8 million
of foreign currency transaction
loss
in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations as foreign currency transaction
loss
, net. During the
three
months ended
March 31, 2018
, we recognized a
$2.0 million
loss
related to the foreign currency option, which is shown net against
$1.0 million
of foreign currency transaction
gain
in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations as foreign currency transaction
loss
, net.
Depreciation and amortization increased from
$7.3 million
for the
three
months ended
March 31, 2018
to
$7.7 million
for the
three
months ended
March 31, 2019
, primarily as a result of properties acquired in 2018, partially offset by properties disposed in 2018 and 2019. We expect depreciation and amortization to increase in future periods as a result of future acquisitions of real estate properties, but to decrease as a result of amortization of tenant origination costs related to lease expirations and disposition of properties.
Interest expense increased from
$6.6 million
for the
three
months ended
March 31, 2018
to
$7.2 million
for the
three
months ended
March 31, 2019
, primarily as a result of increased borrowings related to properties acquired in 2018 and increased one-month LIBOR rates during the
three
months ended
March 31, 2019
, partially offset by the paydown of debt on properties disposed in 2018 and 2019 and the
March 1, 2019
Debentures principal installment payment of
194.0 million
Israeli new Shekels (approximately
$53.6 million
as of
March 1, 2019
). Excluded from interest expense was
$0.7 million
and
$0.6 million
of interest capitalized to our investments in undeveloped land during the
three
months ended
March 31, 2019
and
2018
, respectively. Our interest expense in future periods will vary based on interest rate fluctuations, the amount of interest capitalized and our level of future borrowings, which will depend on the availability and cost of debt financing and the opportunity to acquire real estate and real estate-related investments meeting our investment objectives and will decrease to the extent we dispose of properties and paydown debt.
During the
three
months ended
March 31, 2019
, we did not receive any distributions related to our investment in the NIP Joint Venture. During the
three
months ended
March 31, 2018
, we received a distribution of
$0.4 million
related to our investment in the NIP Joint Venture. We recognized
$0.1 million
of income distributions and
$0.3 million
of return of capital from the NIP Joint Venture.

Equity in loss of unconsolidated joint ventures was
$2.4 million
for the
three
months ended
March 31, 2018
. Equity in income of unconsolidated joint ventures was
$7.3 million
for the
three
months ended
March 31, 2019
, primarily as a result of a
$7.8 million
distribution from the 110 William Joint Venture funded with proceeds from the 110 William refinancing. During the
three
months ended
March 31, 2019
, we recorded $7.5 million equity in income from the 110 William Joint Venture, which includes a $7.8 million gain related to a distribution received, net of our share of net losses of $0.3 million. We will not record any subsequent equity in income for the 110 William Joint Venture until subsequent equity in income equals the gain recorded.
Other interest income decreased from
$0.9 million
for the
three
months ended
March 31, 2018
to
$0.7 million
for the
three
months ended
March 31, 2019
, primarily as a result of decreased dividends from money market mutual funds due to our decreased investment balance in these funds.
Loss on real estate equity securities was
$16.0 million
for the
three
months ended
March 31, 2018
. Gain on real estate equity securities was
$11.2 million
for the
three
months ended
March 31, 2019
. We expect gain (loss) on real estate equity securities to fluctuate in future periods as a result of changes in share prices of our investments in real estate equity securities.
During the
three
months ended
March 31, 2018
, we sold 26 acres of undeveloped land that resulted in a gain on sale of $0.6 million, which was net of deferred profit of $0.3 million related to proceeds received from the purchaser for the value of land that was contributed to a master association that we consolidated. During the
three
months ended
March 31, 2019
, we sold
one
apartment property, which resulted in a gain on sale of
$7.6 million
.
During the
three
months ended
March 31, 2019
, we recognized loss on extinguishment of debt of
$0.9 million
related to debt repayments in connection with a real estate disposition.
Funds from Operations, Modified Funds from Operations and Adjusted Modified Funds from Operations
We believe that funds from operations (“FFO”) is a beneficial indicator of the performance of an equity REIT. We compute FFO in accordance with the current National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) definition. FFO represents net income, excluding gains and losses from sales of real estate assets (which can vary among owners of identical assets in similar conditions based on historical cost accounting and useful-life estimates), impairment losses on real estate assets, depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, and adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. In addition, we elected the option to exclude mark-to-market changes in value recognized on equity securities in the calculation of FFO. We believe FFO facilitates comparisons of operating performance between periods and among other REITs. However, our computation of FFO may not be comparable to other REITs that do not define FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition or that interpret the current NAREIT definition differently than we do. Our management believes that historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry investors and analysts have considered the presentation of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting to be insufficient by themselves. As a result, we believe that the use of FFO, together with the required GAAP presentations, provides a more complete understanding of our performance relative to our competitors and provides a more informed and appropriate basis on which to make decisions involving operating, financing, and investing activities.
Changes in accounting rules have resulted in a substantial increase in the number of non-operating and non-cash items included in the calculation of FFO. As a result, our management also uses modified funds from operations (“MFFO”) as an indicator of our ongoing performance as well as our dividend sustainability. MFFO excludes from FFO: acquisition fees and expenses (to the extent that such fees and expenses have been recorded as operating expenses); adjustments related to contingent purchase price obligations; amounts relating to straight-line rents and amortization of above- and below-market intangible lease assets and liabilities; accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums on debt investments; amortization of closing costs relating to debt investments; impairments of real estate-related investments; mark-to-market adjustments included in net income; and gains or losses included in net income for the extinguishment or sale of debt or hedges. We compute MFFO in accordance with the definition of MFFO included in the practice guideline issued by the Institute for Portfolio Alternatives (“IPA”) in November 2010 as interpreted by management. Our computation of MFFO may not be comparable to other REITs that do not compute MFFO in accordance with the current IPA definition or that interpret the current IPA definition differently than we do.
In addition, our management uses an adjusted MFFO (“Adjusted MFFO”) as an indicator of our ongoing performance, as well as our dividend sustainability. Adjusted MFFO provides adjustments to reduce MFFO related to operating expenses that are capitalized with respect to certain of our investments in undeveloped land.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
|
We believe that MFFO and Adjusted MFFO are helpful as measures of ongoing operating performance because they exclude costs that management considers more reflective of investing activities and other non-operating items included in FFO. Management believes that excluding acquisition costs, prior to our early adoption of ASU No. 2017-01 on January 1, 2017, from MFFO and Adjusted MFFO provides investors with supplemental performance information that is consistent with management’s analysis of the operating performance of the portfolio over time, including periods after our acquisition stage. MFFO and Adjusted MFFO also exclude non-cash items such as straight-line rental revenue. Additionally, we believe that MFFO and Adjusted MFFO provide investors with supplemental performance information that is consistent with the performance indicators and analysis used by management, in addition to net income and cash flows from operating activities as defined by GAAP, to evaluate the sustainability of our operating performance. MFFO provides comparability in evaluating the operating performance of our portfolio with other non-traded REITs which typically have limited lives with short and defined acquisition periods and targeted exit strategies. MFFO, or an equivalent measure, is routinely reported by non-traded REITs, and we believe often used by analysts and investors for comparison purposes.
FFO, MFFO and Adjusted MFFO are non-GAAP financial measures and do not represent net income as defined by GAAP. Net income as defined by GAAP is the most relevant measure in determining our operating performance because FFO, MFFO and Adjusted MFFO include adjustments that investors may deem subjective, such as adding back expenses such as depreciation and amortization and the other items described above. Accordingly, FFO, MFFO and Adjusted MFFO should not be considered as alternatives to net income as an indicator of our current and historical operating performance. In addition, FFO, MFFO and Adjusted MFFO do not represent cash flows from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered an indication of our liquidity. We believe FFO, MFFO and Adjusted MFFO, in addition to net income and cash flows from operating activities as defined by GAAP, are meaningful supplemental performance measures.
Although MFFO includes other adjustments, the exclusion of straight-line rent, the amortization of above- and below-market leases, the accretion of interest income on real estate debt securities, mark to market foreign currency transaction adjustments and extinguishment of debt are the most significant adjustments for the periods presented. We have excluded these items based on the following economic considerations:
|
|
•
|
Adjustments for straight-line rent.
These are adjustments to rental revenue as required by GAAP to recognize contractual lease payments on a straight-line basis over the life of the respective lease. We have excluded these adjustments in our calculation of MFFO to more appropriately reflect the current economic impact of our in-place leases, while also providing investors with a useful supplemental metric that addresses core operating performance by removing rent we expect to receive in a future period or rent that was received in a prior period;
|
|
|
•
|
Amortization of above- and below-market leases.
Similar to depreciation and amortization of real estate assets and lease related costs that are excluded from FFO, GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of intangible lease assets and liabilities diminishes predictably over time and requires that these charges be recognized currently in revenue. Since market lease rates in the aggregate have historically risen or fallen with local market conditions, management believes that by excluding these charges, MFFO provides useful supplemental information on the realized economics of the real estate;
|
|
|
•
|
Accretion of interest income on real estate debt securities.
Discounts and closing costs related to debt investments are accreted/amortized over the term of the loan as an adjustment to interest income. This application results in income recognition that is different than the underlying contractual terms of the debt investments. We have excluded the accretion of interest income on real estate debt securities in our calculation of MFFO to more appropriately reflect the economic impact of our debt investments, as discounts will not be economically recognized until the loan is repaid and closing costs are essentially the same as acquisition fees and expenses on real estate. We believe excluding these items provides investors with a useful supplemental metric that directly addresses core operating performance;
|
|
|
•
|
Mark-to-market foreign currency transaction adjustments.
The U.S. Dollar is our functional currency. Transactions denominated in currency other than our functional currency are recorded upon initial recognition at the exchange rate on the date of the transaction. After initial recognition, monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency are remeasured at each reporting date into the foreign currency at the exchange rate on that date. In addition, we have entered into foreign currency collars and foreign currency options that results in a foreign currency transaction adjustment. These amounts can increase or reduce net income. We exclude them from MFFO to more appropriately present the ongoing operating performance of our real estate investments on a comparative basis; and

Loss on extinguishment of debt
. A loss on extinguishment of debt, which includes prepayment fees related to the extinguishment of debt, represents the difference between the carrying value of any consideration transferred to the lender in return for the extinguishment of a debt and the net carrying value of the debt at the time of settlement. We have excluded the loss from extinguishment of debt in our calculation of MFFO because these losses do not impact the current operating performance of our investments and do not provide an indication of future operating performance.
|
Adjusted MFFO includes adjustments to reduce MFFO related to real estate taxes, property insurance and financing costs which are capitalized with respect to certain of our investments in undeveloped land. We have included adjustments for the costs incurred necessary to bring these investments to their intended use, as these costs are recurring operating costs that are capitalized in accordance with GAAP and not reflected in our
net income (loss)
, FFO and MFFO.
Our calculation of FFO, which we believe is consistent with the calculation of FFO as defined by NAREIT, is presented in the following table, along with our calculations of MFFO and Adjusted MFFO, for the
three
months ended
March 31, 2019

On March 7,
2019
, our board of directors authorized a distribution in the amount of
$0.00860000
per share of common stock to stockholders of record as of the close of business on March 14,
2019
. We paid this distribution on March 19,
2019
and this was the only distribution declared during the first quarter of
2019
.
For the
three
months ended
March 31, 2019
, we paid aggregate distributions of
$0.6 million
, including
$0.3 million
of distributions paid in cash and
$0.3 million
of distributions reinvested through our dividend reinvestment plan. Our net
income
attributable to common stockholders for the
three
months ended
March 31, 2019
was
$16.8 million
and our cash flows
used in
operations were
$7.6 million
. Our cumulative distributions paid and net income attributable to common stockholders from inception through
March 31, 2019
were
$193.7 million
and
$203.5 million
, respectively. We have funded our cumulative distributions paid, which includes net cash distributions and distributions reinvested by stockholders, with proceeds from debt financing of
$18.7 million
, proceeds from the dispositions of property of
$83.4 million
and cash provided by operations of
$91.6 million
. To the extent that we pay distributions from sources other than our cash flow from operations or gains from asset sales, we will have fewer funds available for investment in real estate-related loans, opportunistic real estate, real estate-related debt securities and other real estate-related investments, the overall return to our stockholders may be reduced and subsequent investors may experience dilution.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and in conjunction with the rules and regulations of the SEC. The preparation of our financial statements requires significant management judgments and assumptions, require estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain and because they are important for understanding and evaluating our reported financial results. These judgments will affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and our disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. With different estimates or assumptions, materially different amounts could be reported in our financial statements. Additionally, other companies may utilize different estimates that may impact the comparability of our results of operations to those of companies in similar businesses. A discussion of the accounting policies that management considers critical in that they involve significant management judgments, assumptions and estimates is included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2018
filed with the SEC. There have been no significant changes to our policies during
2019
, except for our adoption of the lease accounting standards issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board effective on
January 1, 2019
.

January 1, 2019
, we adopted the lease accounting standards under Topic 842 including the package of practical expedients for all leases that commenced before the effective date of January 1, 2019. Accordingly, we (i) did not reassess whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, (ii) did not reassess the lease classification for any expired or existing lease, and (iii) did not reassess initial direct costs for any existing leases. We did not elect the practical expedient related to using hindsight to reevaluate the lease term. In addition, we adopted the practical expedient for land easements and did not assess whether existing or expired land easements that were not previously accounted for as leases under the lease accounting standards of Topic 840 are or contain a lease under Topic 842.
In addition, Topic 842 provides an optional transition method to allow entities to apply the new lease accounting standards at the adoption date and recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. We adopted this transition method upon its adoption of the lease accounting standards of Topic 842, which did not result in a cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings on
January 1, 2019
. Our comparative periods presented in the financial statements will continue to be reported under the lease accounting standards of Topic 840.

In accordance with Topic 842, tenant reimbursements for property taxes and insurance are included in the single lease component of the lease contract (the right of the lessee to use the leased space) and therefore are accounted for as variable lease payments and are recorded as rental income on our statement of operations beginning
January 1, 2019
. In addition, we adopted the practical expedient available under Topic 842 to not separate nonlease components from the associated lease component and instead to account for those components as a single component if the nonlease components otherwise would be accounted for under the new revenue recognition standard (Topic 606) and if certain conditions are met, specifically related to tenant reimbursements for common area maintenance which would otherwise be accounted for under the revenue recognition standard. We believe the two conditions have been met for tenant reimbursements for common area maintenance as (i) the timing and pattern of transfer of the nonlease components and associated lease components are the same and (ii) the lease component would be classified as an operating lease. Accordingly, tenant reimbursements for common area maintenance are also accounted for as variable lease payments and recorded as rental income on our statement of operations beginning
January 1, 2019
.
We recognize minimum rent, including rental abatements, lease incentives and contractual fixed increases attributable to operating leases, on a straight-line basis over the term of the related leases when collectibility is probable and records amounts expected to be received in later years as deferred rent receivable. If the lease provides for tenant improvements, we determine whether the tenant improvements, for accounting purposes, are owned by the tenant or by us. When we are the owner of the tenant improvements, the tenant is not considered to have taken physical possession or have control of the physical use of the leased asset until the tenant improvements are substantially completed. When the tenant is the owner of the tenant improvements, any tenant improvement allowance (including amounts that can be taken in the form of cash or a credit against the tenant’s rent) that is funded is treated as a lease incentive and amortized as a reduction of rental revenue over the lease term. Tenant improvement ownership is determined based on various factors including, but not limited to:
|
|
•
|
whether the lease stipulates how a tenant improvement allowance may be spent;
|
|
|
•
|
whether the lessee or lessor supervises the construction and bears the risk of cost overruns;
|
|
|
•
|
whether the amount of a tenant improvement allowance is in excess of market rates;
|
|
|
•
|
whether the tenant or landlord retains legal title to the improvements at the end of the lease term;
|
|
|
•
|
whether the tenant improvements are unique to the tenant or general purpose in nature; and
|
|
|
•
|
whether the tenant improvements are expected to have any residual value at the end of the lease.
|
We lease apartment units under operating leases with terms generally of one year or less. Generally, credit investigations will be performed for prospective residents and security deposits will be obtained. We recognize rental revenue, net of concessions, on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, when collectibility is determined to be probable.
In accordance with Topic 842, we make a determination of whether the collectibility of the lease payments in an operating lease is probable. If we determine the lease payments are not probable of collection, we would fully reserve for any contractual lease payments, deferred rent receivable, and tenant reimbursements and would recognize rental income only if cash is received. Beginning January 1, 2019, these changes to our collectibility assessment are reflected as an adjustment to rental income. Prior to January 1, 2019, bad debt expense related to uncollectible accounts receivable and deferred rent receivable was included in operating, maintenance, and management expense in the statement of operations. Any subsequent changes to the collectibility of the allowance for doubtful accounts as of December 31, 2018, which was recorded prior to the adoption of Topic 842, are recorded in operating, maintenance, and management expense in the statement of operations.
Beginning
January 1, 2019
, we, as a lessor, record costs to negotiate or arrange a lease that would have been incurred regardless of whether the lease was obtained, such as legal costs incurred to negotiate an operating lease as an expense and classify such costs as operating, maintenance, and management expense on the our consolidated statement of operations, as these costs are no longer capitalizable under the definition of initial direct costs under Topic 842.

Probable Real Estate Acquisition
Georgia 400 Center
On
May 1, 2019
, we, through an indirect wholly owned subsidiary (the “Buyer”), entered into a purchase and sale agreement to purchase an office property consisting of three buildings containing an aggregate of 416,463 rentable square feet located on an aggregate of 24.4 acres of land in Alpharetta, Georgia (“Georgia 400 Center”). On
April 12, 2019
, our advisor entered into a purchase and sale agreement to purchase Georgia 400 Center and on May 1, 2019, our advisor subsequently assigned the purchase and sale agreement, as amended, to the Buyer for
$1.0 million
, which is the amount of the initial deposit paid by our advisor. The seller is not affiliated with us or our advisor.
Pursuant to the purchase and sale agreement, we would be obligated to purchase the property only after satisfactory completion of agreed upon closing conditions. There can be no assurance that we will complete the acquisition. In some circumstances, if we fail to complete the acquisition, we may forfeit up to
$3.0 million
of earnest money. The contractual purchase price of Georgia 400 Center is
$91.0 million
plus closing costs. Georgia 400 Center was built between 1998 and 2001 and is currently 85% leased to 31 tenants.
Distribution Declared
On
May 13, 2019
, our board of directors authorized a distribution in the amount of
$0.00860000
per share of common stock to stockholders of record as of the close of business on
June 14, 2019
. We expect to pay this distribution on or about
June 19, 2019
.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
|
We are exposed to the effects of interest rate changes as a result of borrowings used to maintain liquidity, fund distributions and to fund the refinancing of our real estate investment portfolio and operations. We may also be exposed to the effects of changes in interest rates as a result of the acquisition and origination of mortgage, mezzanine, bridge and other loans and the acquisition of real estate securities. We are also exposed to the effects of foreign currency changes in Israel with respect to the 4.25% bonds issued to investors in Israel in March 2016. Our profitability and the value of our investment portfolio may be adversely affected during any period as a result of interest rate changes and foreign currency changes. Our interest rate risk management objectives are to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings, prepayment penalties and cash flows and to lower overall borrowing costs. We may manage interest rate risk by maintaining a ratio of fixed rate, long-term debt such that floating rate exposure is kept at an acceptable level. In addition, we may utilize a variety of financial instruments, including interest rate caps, floors, and swap agreements, in order to limit the effects of changes in interest rates on our operations. In order to limit the effects of changes in foreign currency on our operations, we may utilize a variety of foreign currency hedging strategies such as cross currency swaps, forward contracts, puts or calls. When we use these types of derivatives to hedge the risk of interest-earning assets or interest-bearing liabilities, we may be subject to certain risks, including the risk that losses on a hedge position will reduce the funds available for payments to holders of our common stock and the risk that the losses may exceed the amount we invested in the instruments. Additionally, certain of these strategies may cause us to fund a margin account periodically to offset changes in foreign currency rates which may also reduce the funds available for payments to holders of our common stock.
As of
March 31, 2019
, we had entered into
one
foreign currency collar to hedge against a change in the exchange rate of the Israeli new Shekel versus the U.S. Dollar. The foreign currency collar expires in
August 2019
and has an aggregate Israeli new Shekels notional amount of
776.2 million
. The foreign currency collar consists of a purchased call option to buy Israeli new Shekels at
3.4860
and a sold put option to sell the Israeli new Shekels at
3.6185
. The foreign currency collar is intended to permit us to exchange, on the settlement date of the collar,
776.2 million
Israeli new Shekels for an amount ranging from
$214.5 million
to
$222.7 million
.
As of
March 31, 2019
, we held
20,000
Israeli new Shekels and
21.8 million
Israeli new Shekels in cash and restricted cash, respectively. In addition, as of
March 31, 2019
, we had bonds outstanding and the related interest payable in the amounts of
776.2 million
Israeli new Shekels and
2.7 million
Israeli new Shekels, respectively. Foreign currency exchange rate risk is the possibility that our financial results could be better or worse than planned because of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Based solely on the remeasurement for the
three
months ended
March 31, 2019
, if foreign currency exchange rates were to increase or decrease by 10%, our net income would increase or decrease by approximately
$18.9 million
and
$23.2 million
, respectively, for the same period. The foreign currency transaction income or loss as a result of the change in foreign currency exchange rates does not take into account any gains or losses on our foreign currency collar as a result of such change, which would reduce our foreign currency exposure.
We borrow funds at a combination of fixed and variable rates. Interest rate fluctuations will generally not affect our future earnings or cash flows on our fixed rate debt unless such instruments mature or are otherwise terminated. However, interest rate changes will affect the fair value of our fixed rate instruments. As of
March 31, 2019
, the fair value of our KBS SOR (BVI) Holdings, Ltd. Series A Debentures was
$213.3 million
and the outstanding principal balance was
$213.6 million
. As of
March 31, 2019
, excluding the KBS SOR (BVI) Holdings, Ltd. Series A Debentures, the fair value of our fixed rate debt was
$7.8 million
and the outstanding principal balance of our fixed rate debt was
$6.2 million
. The fair value estimate of our KBS SOR (BVI) Holdings, Ltd. Series A Debentures was calculated using the quoted bond price as of
March 31, 2019
on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange of
100.20
Israeli new Shekels. The fair value estimate of our fixed rate debt was calculated using a discounted cash flow analysis utilizing rates we would expect to pay for debt of a similar type and remaining maturity if the loans were originated as of
March 31, 2019
. As we expect to hold our fixed rate instruments to maturity and the amounts due under such instruments would be limited to the outstanding principal balance and any accrued and unpaid interest, we do not expect that fluctuations in interest rates, and the resulting changes in fair value of our fixed rate instruments, would have a significant impact on our operations.

Conversely, movements in interest rates on variable rate debt would change our future earnings and cash flows, but would not significantly affect the fair value of those instruments. However, changes in required risk premiums would result in changes in the fair value of floating rate instruments. As of
March 31, 2019
, we were exposed to market risks related to fluctuations in interest rates on
$375.9 million
of variable rate debt outstanding. As of
March 31, 2019
, we had entered into one interest rate cap with a notional amount of
$46.9 million
that effectively limits one-month LIBOR at 3.0% effective
February 21, 2017
through
February 13, 2020
and one interest rate cap with a notional amount of
$77.5 million
that effectively limits one-month LIBOR at 3.5% effective
April 2, 2018
through
March 5, 2021
. Based on interest rates as of
March 31, 2019
, if interest rates were 100 basis points higher or lower during the 12 months ending
March 31, 2020
, interest expense on our variable rate debt would increase by
$3.5 million
or decrease by
$3.8 million
, respectively.
The weighted-average interest rates of our fixed rate debt and variable rate debt as of
March 31, 2019
were
4.3%
and
4.4%
, respectively. The interest rate and weighted-average interest rate represent the actual interest rate in effect as of
March 31, 2019
(consisting of the contractual interest rate and the effect of contractual floor rates, if applicable), using interest rate indices as of
March 31, 2019
where applicable.
We are exposed to financial market risk with respect to our real estate equity securities. Financial market risk is the risk that we will incur economic losses due to adverse changes in our real estate equity security prices. Our exposure to changes in real estate equity security prices is a result of our investment in these types of securities. Market prices are subject to fluctuation and, therefore, the amount realized in the subsequent sale of an investment may significantly differ from the reported market value. Fluctuation in the market prices of a real estate equity security may result from any number of factors, including perceived changes in the underlying fundamental characteristics of the issuer, the relative price of alternative investments, interest rates, default rates and general market conditions. In addition, amounts realized in the sale of a particular security may be affected by the relative quantity of the real estate equity security being sold. We do not currently engage in derivative or other hedging transactions to manage our real estate equity security price risk. As of
March 31, 2019
, we owned real estate equity securities with a book value of
$61.0 million
. Based solely on the prices of real estate equity securities as of
March 31, 2019
, if prices were to increase or decrease by 10%, our net income would increase or decrease, respectively, by approximately
$6.1 million
.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report, management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon, and as of the date of, the evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file and submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported as and when required. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file and submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

|
Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
|
|
|
a)
|
During the period covered by this Form 10-Q, we did not sell any equity securities that were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
|
|
|
c)
|
We have adopted a share redemption program that may enable stockholders to sell their shares to us in limited circumstances.
|
Pursuant to the share redemption program there are several limitations on our ability to redeem shares:
|
|
•
|
Unless the shares are being redeemed in connection with a stockholder’s death, “qualifying disability” or “determination of incompetence” (each as defined under the share redemption program), we may not redeem shares until the stockholder has held the shares for one year.
|
|
|
•
|
During any calendar year, we may redeem no more than 5% of the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the prior calendar year.
|
|
|
•
|
We have no obligation to redeem shares if the redemption would violate the restrictions on distributions under Maryland law, which prohibits distributions that would cause a corporation to fail to meet statutory tests of solvency.
|
During 2019:
|
|
•
|
We may redeem no more than $2.0 million of shares in connection with a stockholder’s death, “qualifying disability” or “determination of incompetence.”
|
|
|
•
|
We may redeem no more than $2.0 million of shares per fiscal quarter, excluding shares redeemed in connection with a stockholder’s death, “qualifying disability” or “determination of incompetence.” To the extent any of such capacity is unused in a fiscal quarter, it will be carried over to the next fiscal quarter for redemption of shares excluding shares redeemed in connection with a stockholder’s death, “qualifying disability” or “determination of incompetence.” In addition, to the extent extra capacity from the bullet above is available with respect to redemptions in the last month of 2019, such capacity will be made available for redemption of shares other than in connection with a stockholder’s death, “qualifying disability” or “determination of incompetence.”
|
After 2019:
|
|
•
|
During any calendar year, we may redeem only the number of shares that we can purchase with the amount of net proceeds from the sale of shares under the our dividend reinvestment plan during the prior calendar year; provided, however, that this limit may be increased or decreased by us upon ten business days’ notice to our stockholders. To the extent that we redeem less than the number of shares that we can purchase in any calendar year with the amount of net proceeds from the sale of shares under our dividend reinvestment plan during the prior calendar year plus any additional funds approved by us, such excess capacity to redeem shares during any calendar year shall be added to our capacity to otherwise redeem shares during the subsequent calendar year. Furthermore, during any calendar year, once we have received requests for redemptions, whether in connection with a stockholder’s death, “qualifying disability or “determination of incompetence”, or otherwise, that if honored, and when combined with all prior redemptions made during the calendar year, would result in the amount of remaining funds available for the redemption of additional shares in such calendar year being $1.0 million or less, the last $1.0 million of available funds shall be reserved exclusively for shares being redeemed in connection with a stockholder’s death, “qualifying disability or “determination of incompetence.” To the extent that, in the last month of any calendar year, the amount of redemption requests in connection with a stockholder’s death, “qualifying disability or “determination of incompetence” is less than the amount of available funds reserved for such redemptions in accordance with the previous sentence, any excess funds may be used to redeem shares not in connection with a stockholder’s death, “qualifying disability or “determination of incompetence” during such month.

Item 2.
|
Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds (continued)
|
|
|
•
|
We may not redeem more than $3.0 million of shares in a given quarter (excluding shares redeemed in connection with a stockholder’s death, “qualifying disability” or “determination of incompetence”). To the extent that, in a given fiscal quarter, we redeem less than the sum of (a) $3.0 million of shares (excluding shares redeemed in connection with a stockholder’s death, “qualifying disability” or “determination of incompetence”) and (b) any excess capacity carried over to such fiscal quarter from a prior fiscal quarter as described below, any remaining excess capacity to redeem shares in such fiscal quarter will be added to our capacity to otherwise redeem shares (excluding shares redeemed in connection with a stockholder’s death, “qualifying disability” or “determination of incompetence”) during succeeding fiscal quarter. We may increase or decrease this limit upon ten business days’ notice to stockholders.
|
We may amend, suspend or terminate the program upon ten business days’ notice to our stockholders. We may provide notice to our stockholders by including such information in a Current Report on Form 8-K or in our annual or quarterly reports, all publicly filed with the SEC, or by a separate mailing to our stockholders.
During the
three
months ended
March 31, 2019
, we fulfilled redemption requests eligible for redemption under our share redemption program and received in good order and funded redemptions under our share redemption program with the net proceeds from our dividend reinvestment plan and cash on hand. We redeemed shares pursuant to our share redemption program as follows:

On
November 12, 2018
, our board of directors approved an estimated value per share of our common stock of
$9.91
. The change in the redemption price became effective for the December 2018 redemption date and is effective until the estimated value per share is updated. We expect to update our estimated value per share no later than
December 2019
.
On
December 4, 2018
, our board of directors adopted an eleventh amended and restated share redemption program (the “Eleventh SRP”). The Eleventh SRP changed the funding limits for the share redemption program in calendar year
2019
, after which they will revert back to the prior limits. Absent these changes, based on the amount of net proceeds raised from the sale of shares under the dividend reinvestment plan during
2018
, we would have had
$1.4 million
available for redemptions during
2019
, including shares that are redeemed in connection with a stockholders’ death, “qualifying disability” or “determination of incompetence.” As amended, the following will apply during the calendar year
2019
:
|
|
•
|
We may redeem no more than
$2.0 million
of shares in connection with a stockholder’s death, “qualifying disability” or “determination of incompetence.”
|
|
|
•
|
We may redeem no more than
$2.0 million
of shares per fiscal quarter, excluding shares redeemed in connection with a stockholder’s death, “qualifying disability” or “determination of incompetence.” To the extent any of such capacity is unused in a fiscal quarter, it will be carried over to the next fiscal quarter for redemption of shares excluding shares redeemed in connection with a stockholder’s death, “qualifying disability” or “determination of incompetence.” In addition, to the extent extra capacity from the bullet above is available with respect to redemptions in the last month of
2019
, such capacity will be made available for redemption of shares other than in connection with a stockholder’s death, “qualifying disability” or “determination of incompetence.”
|
There were no other changes to the share redemption program. The Eleventh SRP became effective for any redemption request received after
December 21, 2018
, which was the last day for a request to be received and processed in
2018
under the Tenth Amended Share Redemption Program.
(2)
We limit the dollar value of shares that may be redeemed under the program as described above. During the
three
months ended
March 31, 2019
, we redeemed
$2.5 million
of common stock under the program, which represented all redemption requests received in good order and eligible for redemption through the
March 2019
redemption date, except for the
$31.0 million
of shares in connection with redemption requests not made upon a stockholder’s death, “qualifying disability” or “determination of incompetence,” which redemption requests will be fulfilled subject to the limitations described above. Based on the Eleventh SRP, we have
$7.5 million
available for redemptions in the remainder of
2019
, including shares that are redeemed in connection with a stockholders’ death, “qualifying disability” or “determination of incompetence,” subject to the limitations described above.

THE LOAN
Section 2.1
The Loan
.
2.1.1
Agreement to Lend and Borrow.
Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Lenders hereby agree to make a loan (the “
Loan
”) to Borrower in the maximum principal amount of FORTY-FIVE MILLION NINE HUNDRED THOUSAND and 00/100 DOLLARS ($45,900,000.00) and, if the terms and conditions of
Section 2.6
are satisfied, Future Advances in an aggregate amount not to exceed the Loan.
2.1.2
No Re-Borrowing.
The Future Advances and any amount borrowed and repaid hereunder in respect of the Loan may not be re-borrowed.
2.1.3
The Note.
The Loan shall be evidenced by that certain Building Loan Promissory Note of even date herewith, in the maximum principal amount of FORTY-FIVE MILLION NINE HUNDRED THOUSAND and 00/100 DOLLARS ($45,900,000.00) made by Borrower and payable to the Lenders in evidence of the Loan
(as the same may hereafter be
amended, supplemented, restated, increased, extended or consolidated from time to time, the “
Note
”) and shall be repaid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Note.
2.1.4 Use of Proceeds.
Borrower shall use proceeds of the Loan to fund Building Loan Costs and for no other purpose whatsoever.
2.1.5 Loan Advances.
Subject to compliance by Borrower with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Lenders shall make, and Borrower shall accept from the Lenders, Future Advances under this Agreement for the applicable purposes or uses permitted as required hereunder. If Lenders are comprised of more than one Person, then no Lender shall be obligated to advance more than its Pro Rata Share of any Future Advance hereunder. The Lenders shall not be required to make Future Advances for the costs incurred by Borrower with respect to materials stored off the Property. No Future Advances or any portion thereof shall be made directly or indirectly for payments to a Borrower Related Party, except (a) as expressly permitted in the Loan Documents, or (b) as otherwise may be approved in writing by Administrative Agent. The obligations of the Lenders to make Future Advances hereunder are several, and not joint, and under no circumstances shall any Lender be obligated to fund more of its Pro Rata Share of any Future Advance or more than its Commitment.
Section 2.2
The Interest Rate
.
2.2.1
Applicable Interest Rate.
Subject to the last sentence of this
Section 2.2.1
, except as herein provided with respect to interest accruing at the Default Rate, interest on the Note outstanding from time to time shall accrue from the Closing Date up to and including the Maturity Date at the Applicable Interest Rate. In the event that any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, interest on the Obligations shall accrue interest at the Default Rate for the period that such Event of Default is continuing (it being agreed that Administrative Agent and the Lenders have no obligation to accept a cure of an Event of Default).
2.2.2
Interest Calculation.
Interest on the Note shall be calculated by multiplying (a) the actual number of days elapsed in the period for which the calculation is being made by (b) a daily rate based on a three hundred sixty (360) day year (that is, the Applicable Interest Rate or the Default Rate, as then applicable to the Note, expressed as an annual rate divided by 360) by (c) the Outstanding Principal Balance.
2.2.3
Determination of Interest Rate.
(a)
Each determination by Administrative Agent of the Applicable Interest Rate shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
(b)
Unless and until a Substitute Rate is implemented in accordance with
Section 2.2.3(c)
hereof, if, for any reason Administrative Agent determines in its sole but good faith discretion (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that: (i) United States dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank Eurodollar market for a period approximately equal to the applicable Interest Period; (ii) reasonable and adequate means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR for the applicable Interest Period; or (iii) LIBOR does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lenders of making or maintaining any LIBOR Loan during an applicable Interest Period (any such
determination being hereinafter referred to as a “
LIBOR Rate Unavailable Determination
”), then Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to Borrower. From and after Borrower’s receipt of such notice unless and until a Substitute Rate is implemented in accordance with
Section 2.2.3(c)
hereof, the Applicable Interest Rate shall be the Base Rate, subject to
Section 2.2.3(d)
hereof.
(c)
If for any reason Administrative Agent determines in its sole but good faith discretion (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that: (i) (a) United States dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank Eurodollar market for a period approximately equal to the applicable Interest Period or (b) reasonable and adequate means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR for the applicable Interest Period, and that such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary; (ii) LIBOR is no longer a widely recognizable benchmark rate for newly originated commercial real estate loans in the United States; or (iii) the applicable supervisor or administrator (if any) of LIBOR, or any governmental authority having or purporting to have jurisdiction over Administrative Agent, has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which LIBOR shall no longer be used for determining interest rates for commercial real estate loans in the United States (any such determination being hereinafter referred to as a “
LIBOR Rate Discontinued Determination
”), then Administrative Agent may designate a replacement rate (“
Substitute Rate
”) that Administrative Agent may thereafter elect to implement in lieu of LIBOR in accordance with the terms hereof, and if so implemented, any reference to LIBOR herein shall thereafter be deemed to refer to the Substitute Rate. Such Substitute Rate shall (I) be a market standard reference rate which is then generally being implemented by Administrative Agent and other lenders across commercial real estate loan portfolios as a replacement for LIBOR and (II) be publicly recognized by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) as an alternative to the LIBOR Rate; provided, however, that if the Substitute Rate determined as provided above with respect to any Interest Period shall ever be less than the LIBOR Floor, then the Substitute Rate for such Interest Period shall be deemed to be the LIBOR Floor. If a Substitute Rate is so implemented, Administrative Agent shall designate (which designation shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error), and implement concurrently with the Substitute Rate, a replacement spread (“
Substitute Spread
”) which shall be equal to the Applicable Spread, adjusted by Administrative Agent, in a manner consistent with Administrative Agent’s treatment of similar mortgage loan facilities, to compensate for any difference between (x) the Substitute Rate and (y) the average of LIBOR for the six (6) months prior to the date of the LIBOR Rate Discontinued Determination, which shall reflect the original intent of the parties with respect to the overall interest rate of the Loan. The Substitute Spread shall replace the Applicable Spread on the Interest Rate Replacement Date and shall thereafter remain constant notwithstanding that the Substitute Rate may fluctuate from time to time. When so implemented, any reference to the Applicable Spread herein shall thereafter be deemed to refer to the Substitute Spread. If a Substitute Rate is implemented in lieu of LIBOR, and a Substitute Spread is implemented in lieu of the Applicable Spread, as set forth above, Borrower agrees to enter into such modifications and/or replacement promissory notes as Administrative Agent deems necessary in order to evidence such replacements provided that any such modifications or replacement promissory notes do not increase the obligations or liabilities of Borrower or decrease any rights of Borrower other than to a de minimis extent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Administrative Agent agrees that it shall consult with Borrower regarding its selection of a Substitute Rate; provided,
however, that final determination of the Substitute Rate shall be made by Administrative Agent in its sole but good faith discretion (and Borrower shall have no right to approve the same).
(d)
If, after the date hereof, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Loan has been converted to a Substitute Rate Loan and any Lender shall determine in its sole but reasonable discretion (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower absent manifest error) that the event(s) or circumstance(s) which resulted in such conversion shall no longer be applicable, such Lender shall give notice thereof to Borrower, and the Substitute Rate Loan shall automatically convert to a LIBOR Loan on the effective date set forth in such notice. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall Borrower have the right to elect to convert a LIBOR Loan to a Substitute Rate Loan.
(e)
If any requirement of law or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof, shall hereafter make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain a LIBOR Loan as contemplated hereunder, (i) the obligation of such Lender hereunder to make a LIBOR Loan shall be cancelled forthwith and (ii) such Lender may give Borrower and Lender a Lender’s Notice, establishing the Applicable Interest Rate at the Substitute Rate plus the Substitute Spread, in which case the Applicable Interest Rate shall be a rate equal to the Substitute Rate in effect from time to time plus the Substitute Spread and such initial Applicable Interest Rate based on the Substitute Rate shall, as closely as reasonably possible, approximate the last Applicable Interest Rate based on LIBOR. In the event the condition necessitating the cancellation of such Lender’s obligation to make a LIBOR Loan hereunder shall cease, such Lender shall promptly notify Borrower and Lender of such cessation and the Loan shall resume its characteristics as a LIBOR Loan in accordance with the terms herein from and after the first day of the Interest Period next following such cessation. Borrower hereby agrees promptly to pay such Lender, upon demand, any additional amounts reasonably necessary to compensate such Lender for any out-of-pocket costs reasonably incurred by such Lender in making any conversion in accordance with this Agreement, including, without limitation, any interest or fees payable by such Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to make or maintain the LIBOR Loan hereunder. Any Lender’s notice of such costs, as certified to Borrower, shall be set forth in reasonable detail and such Lender’s calculation shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(f)
In the event that, after the date hereof, any change in any requirement of law or in the formal interpretation or application thereof, or compliance by any Lender with any directive (whether or not having the force of law) hereafter issued from any central bank or other Governmental Authority:
(i)
shall hereafter have the effect of reducing the rate of return on any Lender’s capital (other than as a result of an increase in taxes) as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender is reasonably likely to have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by any amount reasonably deemed by such Lender to be material;
(ii)
shall hereafter impose, modify, increase or hold applicable any material reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances or loans by, or
other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of any Lender which is not otherwise included in the determination of the rate hereunder (other than as a result of an increase in taxes); or
(iii)
shall hereafter impose on any Lender any other condition and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of making, renewing or maintaining loans or extensions of credit or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder;
and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Lender of making, renewing or maintaining the Loan or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder, then, in any such case, subject to the notice requirements in the subsequent sentence, provided that such Lender requests the same of similarly situated borrowers, Borrower shall promptly pay such Lender, upon demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender for such additional cost or reduced amount receivable which such Lender deems to be material as reasonably determined by such Lender; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be required under this Section 2.2.3 to pay such Lender additional amounts for additional costs or reduced amounts receivable that are attributable to an increase in taxes imposed on such Lender. If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.2.3, Administrative Agent shall provide Borrower with not less than ten (10) Business Days written notice specifying in reasonable detail the event by reason of which it has become so entitled and the additional amount required to fully compensate such Lender for such additional cost or reduced amount. A certificate as to any additional costs or amounts payable pursuant to the foregoing sentence, executed by an authorized signatory of any Lender and submitted by such Lender to Borrower shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. This provision shall survive payment of the Note and the satisfaction of all other obligations of Borrower under this Agreement and the Loan Documents. For the avoidance of doubt, any payments made pursuant to this Section 2.2.3 shall not be deemed a prepayment and no prepayment premium shall be due in connection with such payments.
(g)
Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender and to hold each Lender harmless from any Losses which such Lender sustains or incurs as a consequence of (i) any default by Borrower in payment of the principal of or interest on a LIBOR Loan, including, without limitation, any such loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by such Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain a LIBOR Loan hereunder, (ii) any prepayment (whether voluntary or mandatory) of the LIBOR Loan on a day that (A) is not a Monthly Payment Date or (B) is a Monthly Payment Date if Borrower did not give the prior written notice of such prepayment required pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, such loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by such Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain the LIBOR Loan hereunder and (iii) the conversion in accordance with the terms hereof of the Applicable Interest Rate to the Substitute Rate plus the Substitute Spread with respect to any portion of the outstanding principal amount of the Loan then bearing interest at a rate other than the Substitute Rate plus the Substitute Spread on a date other than the first day of an Interest Period, including, without limitation, such loss or expenses arising from interest or fees payable by such Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain a LIBOR Loan hereunder (the amounts referred to in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) are herein referred to collectively as the “
Breakage Costs
”); provided, however,
Borrower shall not indemnify Administrative Agent or any Lender from any Losses arising from Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s willful misconduct or gross negligence. Whenever in this Section 2.2.3 the term “interest or fees payable by any Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it” is used and no such funds were actually obtained from such lenders, it shall include interest or fees which would have been payable by such Lender if it had obtained funds from lenders in order to maintain a LIBOR Loan hereunder. Each Lender will provide to Borrower a statement detailing such Breakage Costs and the calculation thereof.
(h)
The provisions of this
Section 2.2.3
shall survive payment of the Note in full and the satisfaction of all other obligations of Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
2.2.4
Usury Savings.
This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are subject to the express condition that at no time shall Borrower be required to pay interest on the principal balance of the Loan at a rate which could subject any Lender to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate. If by the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the principal balance due hereunder at a rate in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate, the Applicable Interest Rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to the Maximum Legal Rate and all previous payments in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of principal and not on account of the interest due hereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to the Lenders for the use, forbearance, or detention of the sums due under the Loan, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of the Loan until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Loan does not exceed the Maximum Legal Rate from time to time in effect and applicable to the Loan for so long as the Loan is outstanding.

Any such amount shall be secured by the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents and payable to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Lenders promptly following written demand.

At or prior to the Closing Date, Borrower shall establish and maintain the Working Capital Account as a segregated Eligible Account pursuant to the terms of the Working Capital Account Agreement with the Working Capital Bank, which such Working Capital Account shall be in trust for the benefit of Lenders and shall be under the sole dominion and control of Borrower prior to an Event of Default and thereafter, Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Lenders.

Borrower shall not further pledge, assign or grant any security interest in the Working Capital Account or the monies deposited therein or permit
any lien or encumbrance to attach thereto, or any levy to be made thereon, or any UCC-1 financing statements, except those naming Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Lenders as the secured party, to be filed with respect thereto.

Section 2.6.2
is not intended to, and shall therefore not, constitute a limitation on the obligation of Borrower to pay Debt Service or Carry Costs.
2.6.3
Construction.
Borrower shall (a) construct and complete all Tenant Improvement Work within the time period and as required by, and in accordance with, the Leases, (b) construct all Capital Expenditures Work, (c) pay for or caused to be paid for and obtained all permits, licenses and approvals required by any Governmental Authority with respect to such Tenant Improvement Work and Capital Expenditures Work substantially in accordance with the schedule set forth in any Project Budget submitted to Administrative Agent in connection with any Future Advance, (d) cause all such Tenant Improvement Work and Capital Expenditures Work to be performed in a good and workmanlike manner, in compliance with all Legal Requirements in all material respects (including any and all applicable life safety laws, environmental laws and the ADA); (e) cause all Tenant Improvement Work and Capital Expenditures Work to be performed in a manner consistent with any plans and specifications therefor; (f) cause all Tenant Improvement Work and Capital Expenditures Work to be performed without regard to any deficiency of the amount of the proceeds of the Loan available and allocated for such Tenant Improvement Work and/or Capital Expenditures Work; and (g) cause all such Tenant Improvement Work and Capital Expenditures Work to be constructed, installed and completed as applicable, free and clear of all Liens (except for Permitted Encumbrances).
2.6.4
Funding Amount.
The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that each Borrower’s Requisition (to Administrative Agent and Mezzanine Administrative Agent) shall be in the aggregate amount of the costs of Capital Expenditures Work and TI/LC Costs (collectively the “
Approved Costs
”) being paid by Borrower. The parties further acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to such Approved Costs: (i) the portion of Approved Costs each Lender is required to fund as a Future Advance pursuant to this

Lender is required to fund as a Future Advance (as defined in the Senior Loan Agreement) pursuant to Section 2.6 thereof is such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Percentage of the Approved Costs and (iii) the portion thereof that Mezzanine Lender is required to fund as a Future Advance (as defined in the Mezzanine Loan Agreement) pursuant to Section 2.6 thereof is the Mezzanine Lender’s Percentage of the Approved Costs. For avoidance of doubt and by way of example only, in the event of a Borrower’s Requisition in which the Approved Costs are $1,000,000.00 and all conditions in this Agreement, the Senior Loan Agreement and Mezzanine Loan Agreement have been satisfied, then (A) the maximum aggregate amount of the Future Advance to be made by Lenders hereunder (together with “Future Advance”, if any, under the Senior Loan Agreement) shall be $50,550,000.00 and (B) the maximum amount of the Future Advance to be made by the Mezzanine Lender shall be $16,850,000.00. Borrower shall also be obligated to fund any cost overruns or other amount which needs to be expended in order to enable Borrower to satisfy its obligation under
Section 2.6.3

At any time and from time to time during the term of the Loan, with respect to the aggregate Capital Expenditures Work and Tenant Improvement Work, if Administrative Agent determines in its reasonable discretion that the estimated costs and expenses required to complete and pay for such aggregate Capital Expenditures Work and Tenant Improvement Work exceeds the sum of (a) the projected cost reflected on any approved budgets for such work and (b) the remaining unadvanced amounts available to be advanced under the Loan, the Senior Loan and the Mezzanine Loan for the applicable costs, Administrative Agent shall have the right (but not the obligation) to notify Borrower in writing that, the cost of completing such Capital Expenditures Work and Tenant Improvement Work exceeds the approved budgets (the amount of any such deficiency, being herein referred to as the “
Shortfall
”). If Administrative Agent at any time shall deliver any such notice to Borrower, Borrower shall within ten (10) Business Days of delivery thereof, deposit with Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Lenders an amount equal to such Shortfall. For the avoidance of doubt, a Shortfall may exist whether or not Administrative Agent delivers a notice to Borrower; provided, that Borrower’s obligation to make a deposit with Administrative Agent is conditioned on Administrative Agent sending a notice pursuant to the terms of this Section. Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to make further Future Advances until the sums required to be deposited with Administrative Agent have been exhausted and, in any such case, the Loan is back “in balance.” Any such sums not used as provided shall be released to Borrower when and to the extent that Administrative Agent determines that a Shortfall does not exist, provided, however, that should an Event of Default occur, Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, may apply such amounts either to the remaining costs and expenses to complete the Capital Expenditures Work or Tenant Improvement Work or to the immediate payment of any obligations of Borrower with respect to the Debt.
2.6.5
Quality of Work.
No Future Advance or any portion thereof shall be made with respect to defective work or to any Person that has performed work that is defective and that has not been cured, as confirmed by the report of the Construction Consultant, if any, except to the extent that such Future Advance is for the remediation of the defective work. Additionally, Administrative Agent may disburse all or part of any Future Advance before the sum shall become due if Administrative Agent believes it advisable for Administrative Agent to do so, and all such Future Advances or parts thereof shall be deemed to have been made pursuant to this Agreement.
2.6.6
No Reliance.
All conditions and requirements of this Agreement are for the sole benefit of Administrative Agent and Lenders and no other person or party (including, without limitation, the Construction Consultant, if any, any contractor and subcontractors and materialmen) shall have the right to rely on the satisfaction of such conditions and requirements by Borrower. Administrative Agent shall have the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to waive any such condition or requirement and Borrower shall be authorized to rely on such waiver if and to the extent such waiver is in writing and signed by Administrative Agent.
2.6.7
Miscellaneous.
The making of a Future Advance by Lenders shall not constitute Administrative Agent’s approval or acceptance of the construction theretofore completed or materials furnished with respect thereto. Administrative Agent’s inspection and approval of the workmanship and materials used in any Capital Expenditures Work or Tenant Improvement Work, shall impose no liability of any kind on Administrative Agent, the sole obligation of Administrative Agent as the result of such inspection and approval being to make the Future Advances if and to the extent, required by this Agreement.
2.6.8
Trust Funds
. All proceeds advanced hereunder shall be subject to the trust fund provisions of Section 13 of the Lien Law. Borrower covenants that (i) it will receive all advanced proceeds and will hold the right to receive such proceeds as trust funds to be first applied to the payment of trust claims as defined in Section 71 of the New York Lien Law, (ii) it will apply all such advanced proceeds to the payment of trust claims (as so defined) only, before using any part of such advanced proceeds for any other purpose, and (iii) it shall request and disburse any and all advances only for Building Loan Costs and for no other purpose or expense whatsoever.
2.6.9
Lien Law Section 22 Compliance
. The affidavit attached hereto as Schedule II is made pursuant to and in compliance with Section 22 of the Lien Law.
2.6.10
ALL POTENTIAL LIENORS ARE HEREBY CAUTIONED TO EXERCISE SOUND BUSINESS JUDGMENT IN THE EXTENSION OF CREDIT TO BORROWER. NO POTENTIAL LIENOR SHOULD EXPECT ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT TO MAKE ADVANCES OF THE LOAN IN AMOUNTS AND AT TIMES SUCH THAT IT WILL NOT BE NECESSARY FOR EACH SUCH POTENTIAL LIENOR TO EXERCISE SOUND BUSINESS JUDGMENT IN THE EXTENSION OF CREDIT TO BORROWER. MOREOVER, ALL POTENTIAL LIENORS ARE REMINDED THAT SUBDIVISION (3) OF SECTION 13 OF THE NEW YORK LIEN LAW PROVIDES THAT “NOTHING IN THIS SUBDIVISION SHALL BE CONSIDERED AS IMPOSING UPON ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT ANY OBLIGATION TO SEE TO THE PROPER APPLICATION OF SUCH ADVANCES BY THE BORROWER,” AND ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT DOES NOT IMPOSE SUCH AN OBLIGATION ON ITSELF.

Section 2.7.4
as amounts become due and payable to them hereunder and any portion of the Loan so disbursed by Administrative Agent shall be deemed disbursed as of the date on which the Person to whom payment is made receives the same.

Initial Advance
”), (y) a Future Advance in the amount of Zero and No/100 Dollars ($0.00) (the “
First Future Funding Advance
”) and (z) if the terms and conditions of
Section 2.6
are satisfied, subsequent Future Advances in an aggregate amount not to exceed the Future Funding Amount.
2.1.2

Note
”) and shall be repaid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Note.
2.1.4

Section 2.6
hereof.
2.1.5
Loan Advances
. Subject to compliance by Borrower with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Lenders shall make, and Borrower shall accept from Lenders, Future Advances under this Agreement for the applicable purposes or uses permitted as required hereunder. If Lenders are comprised of more than one Person, then no Lender shall be obligated to advance more than its Pro Rata Share of any Future Advance hereunder. The Lenders shall not be required to make Future Advances for the costs incurred by Borrower with respect to materials stored off the Property. No Future Advances or any portion thereof shall be made directly or indirectly for payments to a Borrower Related Party, except (a) as expressly permitted in the Loan Documents, or (b) as otherwise may be approved in writing by Administrative Agent. The obligations of the Lenders to make Future Advances hereunder are several, and not joint, and under no circumstances shall any Lender be obligated to fund more of its Pro Rata Share of any Future Advance or more than its Commitment.
Section 2.2
The Interest Rate
.
2.2.1
Applicable Interest Rate
. Subject to the last sentence of this
Section 2.2.1
, except as herein provided with respect to interest accruing at the Default Rate, interest on the Note outstanding from time to time shall accrue from the Closing Date up to and including the Maturity Date at the Applicable Interest Rate. In the event that any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, interest on the Obligations shall accrue interest at the Default Rate for the period that such Event of Default is continuing (it being agreed that Administrative Agent and Lenders have no obligation to accept a cure of an Event of Default).
2.2.2
Interest Calculation
. Interest on the Note shall be calculated by multiplying (a) the actual number of days elapsed in the period for which the calculation is being made by (b) a daily rate based on a three hundred sixty (360) day year (that is, the Applicable Interest Rate or the Default Rate, as then applicable to the Note, expressed as an annual rate divided by 360) by (c) the Outstanding Principal Balance.
2.2.3
Determination of Interest Rate
.
(a)
Each determination by Administrative Agent of the Applicable Interest Rate shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
(b)
Unless and until a Substitute Rate is implemented in accordance with
Section 2.2.3(c)
hereof, if, for any reason Administrative Agent determines in its sole but good faith discretion (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that: (i) United States dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank Eurodollar market for a period approximately equal to the applicable Interest Period; (ii) reasonable and adequate means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR for the applicable Interest Period; or (iii) LIBOR does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lenders of making or maintaining any LIBOR Loan during an applicable Interest Period (any such determination being hereinafter referred to as a “
LIBOR Rate Unavailable Determination
”), then Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to Borrower. From and after Borrower’s receipt of such notice unless and until a Substitute Rate is implemented in accordance with Section 2.2.3(c) hereof, the Applicable Interest Rate shall be the Base Rate, subject to
Section 2.2.3(d)
hereof.
(c)
If for any reason Administrative Agent determines in its sole but good (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that: (i) (a) United States dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank Eurodollar market for a period approximately equal to the applicable Interest Period or (b) reasonable and adequate means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR for the applicable Interest Period, and that such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary; (ii) LIBOR is no longer a widely recognizable benchmark rate for newly originated commercial real estate loans in the United States; or (iii) the applicable supervisor or administrator (if any) of LIBOR, or any governmental authority having or purporting to have jurisdiction over Administrative Agent, has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which LIBOR shall no longer be used for determining interest rates for commercial real estate loans in the United States (any such determination being hereinafter referred to as a “
LIBOR Rate Discontinued Determination
”), then Administrative Agent may designate a replacement rate
(“
Substitute Rate
”) that Administrative Agent may thereafter elect to implement in lieu of LIBOR in accordance with the terms hereof, and if so implemented, any reference to LIBOR herein shall thereafter be deemed to refer to the Substitute Rate. Such Substitute Rate shall (I) be a market standard reference rate which is then generally being implemented by Administrative Agent and other lenders across commercial real estate loan portfolios as a replacement for LIBOR and (II) be publicly recognized by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) as an alternative to the LIBOR Rate; provided, however, that if the Substitute Rate determined as provided above with respect to any Interest Period shall ever be less than the LIBOR Floor, then the Substitute Rate for such Interest Period shall be deemed to be the LIBOR Floor. If a Substitute Rate is so implemented, Administrative Agent shall designate (which designation shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error), and implement concurrently with the Substitute Rate, a replacement spread (“
Substitute Spread
”) which shall be equal to the Applicable Spread, adjusted by Administrative Agent, in a manner consistent with Administrative Agent’s treatment of similar mortgage loan facilities, to compensate for any difference between (x) the Substitute Rate and (y) the average of LIBOR for the six (6) months prior to the date of the LIBOR Rate Discontinued Determination, which shall reflect the original intent of the parties with respect to the overall interest rate of the Loan. The Substitute Spread shall replace the Applicable Spread on the Interest Rate Replacement Date and shall thereafter remain constant notwithstanding that the Substitute Rate may fluctuate from time to time. When so implemented, any reference to the Applicable Spread herein shall thereafter be deemed to refer to the Substitute Spread. If a Substitute Rate is implemented in lieu of LIBOR, and a Substitute Spread is implemented in lieu of the Applicable Spread, as set forth above, Borrower agrees to enter into such modifications and/or replacement promissory notes as Administrative Agent deems necessary in order to evidence such replacements provided that any such modifications or replacement promissory notes do not increase the obligations or liabilities of Borrower or decrease any rights of Borrower other than to a de minimis extent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Administrative Agent agrees that it shall consult with Borrower regarding its selection of a Substitute Rate; provided, however, that final determination of the Substitute Rate shall be made by Administrative Agent in its sole but good faith discretion (and Borrower shall have no right to approve the same).
(d)
If, after the date hereof, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Loan has been converted to a Substitute Rate Loan and any Lender shall determine in its sole but reasonable discretion (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower absent manifest error) that the event(s) or circumstance(s) which resulted in such conversion shall no longer be applicable, such Lender shall give notice thereof to Borrower, and the Substitute Rate Loan shall automatically convert to a LIBOR Loan on the effective date set forth in such notice. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall Borrower have the right to elect to convert a LIBOR Loan to a Substitute Rate Loan.
(e)
If any requirement of law or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof, shall hereafter make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain a LIBOR Loan as contemplated hereunder, (i) the obligation of such Lender hereunder to make a LIBOR Loan shall be cancelled forthwith and (ii) such Lender may give Borrower and Lender a Lender’s Notice, establishing the Applicable Interest Rate at the Substitute Rate plus the Substitute Spread, in which case the Applicable Interest Rate shall be a rate equal to the Substitute Rate in effect from time to time plus the Substitute Spread and such initial Applicable Interest Rate based on the
Substitute Rate shall, as closely as reasonably possible, approximate the last Applicable Interest Rate based on LIBOR. In the event the condition necessitating the cancellation of such Lender’s obligation to make a LIBOR Loan hereunder shall cease, such Lender shall promptly notify Borrower and Lender of such cessation and the Loan shall resume its characteristics as a LIBOR Loan in accordance with the terms herein from and after the first day of the Interest Period next following such cessation. Borrower hereby agrees promptly to pay such Lender, upon demand, any additional amounts reasonably necessary to compensate such Lender for any out-of-pocket costs reasonably incurred by such Lender in making any conversion in accordance with this Agreement, including, without limitation, any interest or fees payable by such Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to make or maintain the LIBOR Loan hereunder. Any Lender’s notice of such costs, as certified to Borrower, shall be set forth in reasonable detail and such Lender’s calculation shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(f)
In the event that, after the date hereof, any change in any requirement of law or in the formal interpretation or application thereof, or compliance by any Lender with any directive (whether or not having the force of law) hereafter issued from any central bank or other Governmental Authority:
(i)
shall hereafter have the effect of reducing the rate of return on any Lender’s capital (other than as a result of an increase in taxes) as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender is reasonably likely to have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by any amount reasonably deemed by such Lender to be material;
(ii)
shall hereafter impose, modify, increase or hold applicable any material reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of any Lender which is not otherwise included in the determination of the rate hereunder (other than as a result of an increase in taxes); or
(iii)
shall hereafter impose on any Lender any other condition and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of making, renewing or maintaining loans or extensions of credit or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder;
and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Lender of making, renewing or maintaining the Loan or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder, then, in any such case, subject to the notice requirements in the subsequent sentence, provided that such Lender requests the same of similarly situated borrowers, Borrower shall promptly pay such Lender, upon demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender for such additional cost or reduced amount receivable which such Lender deems to be material as reasonably determined by such Lender; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be required under this
Section 2.2.3
to pay such Lender additional amounts for additional costs or reduced amounts receivable that are attributable to an increase in taxes imposed on such Lender. If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.2.3, Administrative Agent shall provide Borrower with not less
than ten (10) Business Days written notice specifying in reasonable detail the event by reason of which it has become so entitled and the additional amount required to fully compensate such Lender for such additional cost or reduced amount. A certificate as to any additional costs or amounts payable pursuant to the foregoing sentence, executed by an authorized signatory of any Lender and submitted by such Lender to Borrower shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. This provision shall survive payment of the Note and the satisfaction of all other obligations of Borrower under this Agreement and the Loan Documents. For the avoidance of doubt, any payments made pursuant to this
Section 2.2.3
shall not be deemed a prepayment and no prepayment premium shall be due in connection with such payments.
(g)
Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender and to hold each Lender harmless from any Losses which such Lender sustains or incurs as a consequence of (i) any default by Borrower in payment of the principal of or interest on a LIBOR Loan, including, without limitation, any such loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by such Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain a LIBOR Loan hereunder, (ii) any prepayment (whether voluntary or mandatory) of the LIBOR Loan on a day that (A) is not a Monthly Payment Date or (B) is a Monthly Payment Date if Borrower did not give the prior written notice of such prepayment required pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, such loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by such Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain the LIBOR Loan hereunder and (iii) the conversion in accordance with the terms hereof of the Applicable Interest Rate to the Substitute Rate plus the Substitute Spread with respect to any portion of the outstanding principal amount of the Loan then bearing interest at a rate other than the Substitute Rate plus the Substitute Spread on a date other than the first day of an Interest Period, including, without limitation, such loss or expenses arising from interest or fees payable by such Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain a LIBOR Loan hereunder (the amounts referred to in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) are herein referred to collectively as the “
Breakage Costs
”); provided, however, Borrower shall not indemnify Administrative Agent or any Lender from any Losses arising from Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s willful misconduct or gross negligence. Whenever in this
Section 2.2.3
the term “interest or fees payable by any Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it” is used and no such funds were actually obtained from such lenders, it shall include interest or fees which would have been payable by such Lender if it had obtained funds from lenders in order to maintain a LIBOR Loan hereunder. Each Lender will provide to Borrower a statement detailing such Breakage Costs and the calculation thereof.
(h)
The provisions of this
Section 2.2.3
shall survive payment of the Note in full and the satisfaction of all other obligations of Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
2.2.4
Usury Savings
. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are subject to the express condition that at no time shall Borrower be required to pay interest on the principal balance of the Loan at a rate which could subject any Lender to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate. If by the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the principal balance due hereunder at a rate in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate, the Applicable Interest Rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be immediately reduced
to the Maximum Legal Rate and all previous payments in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of principal and not on account of the interest due hereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to the Lenders for the use, forbearance, or detention of the sums due under the Loan, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of the Loan until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Loan does not exceed the Maximum Legal Rate from time to time in effect and applicable to the Loan for so long as the Loan is outstanding.
Section 2.3
Loan Payments
.
2.3.1
Payment Before Maturity Date

Borrower shall also pay to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, all amounts required in respect of Reserve Funds as set forth in
Article 6
.
2.3.2
Payment on Maturity Date
;
Extension Options
.

(b)
Subject to the provisions of this
Section 2.3.2
, Borrower shall have the one-time option (the “
First Extension Option
”) to extend the Maturity Date until the First Extension Maturity Date. In the event Borrower shall have exercised the First Extension Option in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof, Borrower shall have the one-time option (the “
Second Extension Option
”) to extend the Maturity Date until the Second Extension Maturity Date. In the event Borrower shall have exercised the Second Extension Option in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof, Borrower shall have the one-time option (the “
Third Extension Option
” and, together with the First Extension Option and the Second Extension Option, each an “
Extension Option
”) to extend the Maturity Date until the Third Extension Maturity Date.

(ii)
No monetary Default or material non-monetary Default which is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of the delivery of the written extension notice or as of the first day of the relevant Extension Period;

Shortfall
”). If Administrative Agent at any time shall deliver any such notice to Borrower, Borrower shall within ten (10) Business Days of delivery thereof, deposit with Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Lenders an amount equal to such Shortfall. For the avoidance of doubt, a Shortfall may exist whether or not Administrative Agent delivers a notice to Borrower; provided, that Borrower’s obligation to make a deposit with Administrative Agent is conditioned on Administrative Agent sending a notice pursuant to the terms of this Section. Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to make further Future Advances until the sums required to be deposited with Administrative Agent have been exhausted and, in any such case, the Loan is back “in balance.” Any such sums not used as provided shall be released to Borrower when and to the extent that Administrative Agent determines that a Shortfall does not exist, provided, however, that should an Event of Default occur, Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, may apply such amounts either to the remaining costs and expenses to complete the Capital Expenditures Work or Tenant Improvement Work or to the immediate payment of any obligations of Borrower with respect to the Debt.
2.6.5
Quality of Work
. No Future Advance or any portion thereof shall be made with respect to defective work or to any Person that has performed work that is defective and that has not been cured, as confirmed by the report of the Construction Consultant, if any, except to the extent that such Future Advance is for the remediation of the defective work. Additionally, Administrative Agent may disburse all or part of any Future Advance before the sum shall become due if Administrative Agent believes it advisable for Administrative Agent to do so, and all such Future Advances or parts thereof shall be deemed to have been made pursuant to this Agreement.
2.6.6
No Reliance
. All conditions and requirements of this Agreement are for the sole benefit of Administrative Agent and Lenders and no other person or party (including, without limitation, the Construction Consultant, if any, any contractor and subcontractors and materialmen) shall have the right to rely on the satisfaction of such conditions and requirements by Borrower. Administrative Agent shall have the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to waive any such condition or requirement and Borrower shall be authorized to rely on such waiver if and to the extent such waiver is in writing and signed by Administrative Agent.
2.6.7
Miscellaneous
. The making of a Future Advance by Lenders shall not constitute Administrative Agent’s approval or acceptance of the construction theretofore completed or materials furnished with respect thereto. Administrative Agent’s inspection and approval of the workmanship and materials used in any Capital Expenditures Work or Tenant Improvement Work, shall impose no liability of any kind on Administrative Agent, the sole obligation of Administrative Agent as the result of such inspection and approval being to make the Future Advances if and to the extent, required by this Agreement.

permits necessary for it to operate which, in either case, had or would have a Material Adverse Effect; (d) been involved in any dispute with any Governmental Authority which is unresolved as of the Closing Date or failed to pay all Taxes owed prior to the delinquency thereof (or, if later, then with all applicable penalties, interest and other sums due in connection therewith) other than Taxes being disputed in good faith in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof; (e) ever been party to any material lawsuit, arbitration, summons, or legal proceeding (other than with respect to disputes regarding Taxes) that is still pending (other than ordinary tenant/occupant litigation, personal injury and property damage claims that are covered by insurance) or that resulted in a judgment against it that has not been paid in full, settled or otherwise satisfied; (f) failed in any material respects to comply with all separateness covenants contained in its organizational documents since its formation; (g) (i) with respect to Borrower, had any material contingent or actual obligations not related to the Property except (i) to the extent such obligations are (x) covered by insurance, or (y) subject to reimbursement from a third-party and (ii) with respect to SPC Party, had any material contingent or actual obligations; (h) (i) with respect to Borrower, owned any property other than the Property and such personal property incidental, ancillary or related to or necessary or appropriate for the ownership and operation of such tenant-in-common interest in the Property and (ii) with respect to SPC Party, owned any asset other than its ownership interests in the Borrower; (i) engaged in any business unrelated to the acquisition, holding, ownership, operation, management, leasing, sale, transfer, exchange, financing, refinancing, improvement and maintenance of its applicable tenant-in-common interest Property, and activities incidental, ancillary or related thereto or necessary or appropriate therefor; and (j) except as expressly disclosed to Administrative Agent in connection with the closing of the Loan, amended, modified, supplemented, restated, replaced or terminated its organizational documents (or consented to any of the foregoing).
3.1.25
Tax Filings
. As of the Closing Date, and on every date thereafter on which these representations are remade, all tax returns required to be filed by or on behalf of Borrower under applicable Legal Requirements have been filed (or effective extensions for filing have been obtained) and all taxes, assessments, fees, and other governmental charges upon or with respect to Borrower or upon any of its properties, income or franchises (including, without limitation, all state, county and municipal mortgage, mortgage recording, stamp, intangible, transfer or other similar tax required to be paid by any Person under applicable Legal Requirements currently in effect in connection with the execution, delivery, recordation, filing, registration, perfection or enforcement of any of the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, the Mortgage) have been paid that are required to be paid when due and in any event prior to the time that the non-payment of such taxes could give rise to a lien on any asset of Borrower. Borrower believes that its tax returns (if any) filed with the applicable taxing authorities properly reflect the income and taxes of Borrower for the periods covered thereby, subject only to reasonable adjustments required by the IRS or other applicable tax authority upon audit. To Borrower’s knowledge, there is no material proposed tax assessment against the Property (or any portion thereof) or, to Borrower’s knowledge, any basis for such assessment which is material and has not been disclosed to Administrative Agent. The Property is separately assessed from all other adjacent land for purposes of real estate taxes, and for all purposes may be dealt with as an independent parcel. The Property is not presently benefitted by any tax abatement. Borrower is and has at all times been properly treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a disregarded entity. Borrower has established on its books such charges, accruals
and reserves in respect of Taxes for all fiscal periods as are required by sound accounting principles consistently applied.
3.1.26
Solvency

Giving effect to the Loan, the fair saleable value of Borrower’s assets exceeds and will, immediately following the making of the Loan, exceed Borrower’s total liabilities, including, without limitation, subordinated, 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. 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. Borrower does not intend to, and does not believe that it will, incur Indebtedness and liabilities (including contingent liabilities and other commitments) beyond its ability to pay such Indebtedness and liabilities as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be received by Borrower and the amounts to be payable on or in respect of obligations of Borrower). No petition in bankruptcy has been filed against Borrower or any Constituent Member of Borrower, and neither of Borrower nor any Constituent Member of Borrower has ever made an assignment for the benefit of creditors or taken advantage of any insolvency act for the benefit of debtors.
3.1.27

Prior to seeking Administrative Agent’s consent to any Proposed Major Lease or amendment or modification thereto, Borrower may, at Borrower’s option, submit a term sheet for a Proposed Major Lease or amendment or modification thereto to Administrative Agent for preliminary conditional approval, provided that Administrative Agent shall retain the right to disapprove any such Proposed Major Lease if subsequent to any preliminary conditional approval (or deemed preliminary conditional approval pursuant to the first paragraph of this

If after ten (10) Business Days from receipt of such term sheet Administrative Agent has failed to reject the term sheet and not granted its conditional approval thereto, Borrower may resubmit such term sheet in writing and, if after an additional five (5) Business Days Administrative Agent has still failed to reject the term sheet and not granted its conditional approval thereto, provided that no Event of Default is continuing, such preliminary conditional approval shall be deemed to have been granted, provided, however, that notice is submitted simultaneously with each request for preliminary conditional approval, specifically referencing this
Section 4.1.9(b)(i)
and notifying Administrative Agent in capital letters and using a 14 point font that failure to respond may result in deemed conditional approval.
(ii)

executed or final draft copy of the Proposed Major Lease and (b) in the event a term sheet with respect to such Proposed Major Lease has not been preliminarily conditionally approved (or deemed preliminarily conditionally approved) by Administrative Agent pursuant to
Section 4.1.9(b)(i)
, ten (10) Business Days of the receipt by Administrative Agent of a written request for such approval, accompanied by an executed or final draft copy of the Proposed Major Lease. Provided that no Event of Default is continuing, if Administrative Agent has failed to reject Borrower’s initial request for approval and not specifically granted in writing its approval thereto as aforesaid within such ten (10) Business Day period, as the case may be, and Borrower provides Administrative Agent with an additional written request for approval (which additional written request, along with the initial request for approval, shall specifically refer to this
Section 4.1.9(b)(ii)
and shall explicitly state in capital letters and using a 14 point font that failure by Administrative Agent to approve or disapprove within five (5) Business Days may constitute a deemed approval) and Administrative Agent fails to reject or specifically approve the request in writing delivered to Borrower within five (5) Business Days after receipt by Administrative Agent of the additional request, the Proposed Major Lease shall be deemed approved by Administrative Agent, and Borrower shall be entitled to enter into such Proposed Major Lease or proposed renewal, extension or modification of an existing Major Lease. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Borrower shall have the right to execute Proposed Major Leases and any amendments or modifications thereto without Administrative Agent’s prior approval if the lease (or amendment, as applicable) is consistent with the term sheet approved by Administrative Agent and the lease (or amendment, as applicable) does not contain any economic or material non-economic changes to the terms previously approved (or deemed approved) by Administrative Agent.

Section 4.1.9(a)
and the preceding clauses (i)-(ii) of this
Section 4.1.9(b)
above, provided that no Event of Default is continuing, renewals, assignments, subleases, amendments and modifications of existing or future Leases and the execution of proposed leases shall not be subject to the prior approval of Administrative Agent provided (i) the proposed lease would be a Minor Lease or the existing or future Lease as amended and modified (but specifically excluding amendments or modifications to Major Leases which would result in such Lease becoming a Minor Lease) or the renewal Lease is a Minor Lease, and (ii) the proposed lease shall meet the requirements of clauses (A) through (E), inclusive of
Section 4.1.9(a)
. For the avoidance of doubt, any Minor Lease that does not satisfy each of the requirements set forth in this
Section 4.1.9(b)(iii)

Section 4.1.9(b)
above shall apply in connection with the approval of any such Minor Lease.

(xii)
upon sixty (60) days’ written notice, such other reasonable insurance and in such reasonable amounts as Administrative Agent from time to time may reasonably request against such other insurable hazards which at the time are commonly insured against for property similar to the Property located in or around the region in which the Property is located.

(c)
Any blanket insurance Policy shall otherwise provide the same protection as would a separate Policy insuring only the Property in compliance with the provisions of
Section 5.1.1
(any such blanket policy, an “
Acceptable Blanket Policy
”). To the extent that the Policies are maintained pursuant to an Acceptable Blanket Policy that covers more than one location within a one-thousand-foot radius of the Property (the “
Radius
”), the limits of such Acceptable Blanket Policy must be sufficient to maintain coverage on a total insured value basis in compliance with the provisions of
Section 5.1.1
for each such location within the Radius, including the Property.

(viii)
shall name Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Lenders as an additional insured, as its interests may appear, and in the case of property policies, including but not limited to boiler and machinery, flood, earthquake and terrorism insurance, shall contain a standard non‑contributing mortgagee clause in favor of Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Lenders providing that the loss thereunder shall be payable to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Lenders. Borrower shall not procure or permit any of its constituent entities to procure any other insurance coverage which would be on the same level of payment as the Policies or would adversely impact in any way the ability of Administrative Agent or Borrower to collect any proceeds under any of the Policies.
(e)
All property Policies of insurance provided for in
Section 5.1.1(a)
, shall provide that:
(i)
no act or negligence of Borrower, or anyone acting for Borrower, or of any Tenant or other occupant, or failure to comply with the provisions of any Policy, which might otherwise result in a forfeiture of the insurance or any part thereof, or foreclosure or similar action, shall in any way affect the validity or enforceability of the insurance insofar as Administrative Agent is concerned; and
(ii)
[reserved];
(iii)
[reserved];
(iv)
Neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall not be liable for any Insurance Premiums thereon or subject to any assessments thereunder.
(f)

(g)
In the event of foreclosure of the Mortgage 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 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 Administrative Agent or other transferee in the event of such other transfer of title.

Section 5.1.1(h)
) shall be issued by financially sound and responsible insurance companies permitted to do business in the state in which the Property is located and each having a rating of: (1) “
A
” or better by S&P (provided, however for multi-layered policies, (A) if four (4)
or fewer insurance companies issue the Policies, then at least 75% of the insurance coverage represented by the Policies must be provided by insurance companies with a rating of “
A
” or better by S&P, with no carrier below “
BBB
” with S&P, or (B) if five (5) or more insurance companies issue the Policies, then at least sixty percent (60%) of the insurance coverage represented by the Policies must be provided by insurance companies with a rating of “
A
” or better by S&P, with no carrier below “
BBB
” with S&P) and (2) ”

Section 5.3
, it being understood, however, that Borrower shall not be obligated to restore the Property to the precise condition of the Property prior to such Casualty provided the Property is restored, to the extent practicable and permitted by Legal Requirements, to be of at least equal value and of substantially the same character as prior to the Casualty. Borrower shall pay all costs of such Restoration whether or not such costs are covered by insurance.

actually incurred by Borrower for work in place as part of such Restoration. The Casualty Retainage shall in no event, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above in this
Section 5.3.2(d)
, be less than the amount actually held back by Borrower from contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration. The Casualty Retainage shall not be released until the Casualty Consultant certifies to Administrative Agent that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this
Section 5.3.2(d)
and that all approvals necessary for the re‑occupancy and use of the Property have been obtained from all appropriate Governmental Authorities, and Administrative Agent receives evidence reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent that the costs of the Restoration have been paid in full or will be paid in full out of the Casualty Retainage; provided, however, that Administrative Agent will only release the portion of the Casualty Retainage being held with respect to any contractor, subcontractor or materialman engaged in the Restoration as of the date upon which the Casualty Consultant certifies to Administrative Agent that the contractor, subcontractor or materialman has satisfactorily completed all work and has supplied all materials in 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 Administrative Agent or by the title company issuing the Title Insurance Policy, and Administrative Agent receives an endorsement to the Title Insurance Policy insuring the continued priority of the lien of the Mortgage and evidence of payment of any premium payable for such endorsement.

(e)
With respect to any Net Proceeds held by Administrative Agent in accordance herewith, Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds more frequently than once every calendar month.
(f)

Net Proceeds Deficiency
”) with Administrative Agent before any further disbursement of the Net Proceeds shall be made or (ii) provide Administrative Agent with (i) cash, (ii) Letters of Credit, or (iii) a completion bond or guaranty reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent from a guarantor acceptable to Administrative Agent in the amount of the Net Proceeds Deficiency or otherwise reasonably required by Administrative Agent. The Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Administrative Agent shall be held by Administrative Agent 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 5.3.2
shall constitute additional security for the Debt.

provisions of this
Section 5.3.2
, and the receipt by Administrative Agent of evidence satisfactory to Administrative Agent that all costs incurred in connection with the Restoration have been paid in full, promptly shall be remitted by Administrative Agent to Borrower, provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and shall be continuing under any of the Loan Documents; provided, however, the amount of such excess returned to Borrower in the case of a Condemnation shall not exceed the amount of Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited by Borrower with the balance being applied to the Debt in the manner provided for in
Subsection 5.3.2(h)
.
(h)
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 5.3.2(g)
may be applied by Administrative Agent toward the payment of the Debt, whether or not then due and payable, in such order, priority and proportions as Administrative Agent in its sole discretion shall deem proper or, at the discretion of Administrative Agent, may be paid to Borrower for such purposes as Administrative Agent shall designate. For the avoidance of doubt, no fee, premium or penalty of any kind (including, without limitation the Spread Maintenance Premium) shall be due or payable upon any such application of Net Proceeds to the Debt. In the event that the Net Proceeds are in excess of the amount of the Debt and Administrative Agent applies the Net Proceeds to the repayment of the Debt, any such excess shall be paid to Borrower within fifteen (15) Business Days after Administrative Agent has applied the Net Proceeds to repayment of the Debt.

Interest/Carrying Costs Account
.
If at any time the Debt Service Coverage Ratio falls below 1.0 x for any calendar quarter, and Administrative Agent determines there are insufficient unadvanced amounts of the Future Funding Amount allocated to Interest/Carry Shortfall remaining to pay Debt Service and Carry Costs for succeeding calendar quarter, Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Lender an amount equal to the amount that when combined with (a) any funds in any reserves for Debt Service or Carry Costs, and (b) any unadvanced amounts of the Future Funding Amount allocated to Interest/Carry Shortfall, would be sufficient to cover the estimated Debt Service and Carry Cost payments for the succeeding six (6) months (as reasonably determined by Administrative Agent),
for the purpose of establishing a reserve fund to provide an additional source for the payment of Debt Service and Carry Costs during Term. Administrative Agent will transfer such amount into an Account (the “
Interest/Carrying Costs Account
”). Provided no Event of Default is continuing, on each Monthly Payment Date during the Term, as applicable, if Rents and other income deposited into the Deposit Account during the Interest Period preceding such Monthly Payment Date were insufficient to pay such month’s Debt Service and Carry Costs, Administrative Agent shall cause funds from the Interest/Carrying Costs Account to be applied to the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount, to be disbursed to the Tax Account and Insurance Account (for any shortfall in required Tax or Insurance Premium deposits, solely to the extent the Borrower is then obligated to fund the Tax Account and Insurance Account) or to the Borrower (for any shortfall in the payment of Operating Expenses for such period, solely to the extent Borrower is then required to be funding reserves for Operating Expenses), as applicable. At such time as the Property has achieved a Debt Service Coverage Ratio of 1.10x for two (2) consecutive calendar quarters based on a Pro Forma Debt Service which shall apply the unadvanced funds in the Interest/Carrying Costs Account to the outstanding principal balance of the Loan for purposes of such calculation, and provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Borrower shall have the right to request that any unadvanced funds in the Interest/Carrying Costs Account (the “
Reserved Amounts
”), be funded by Administrative Agent to Borrower at Borrower’s direction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, Borrower shall be permitted to use any remaining Working Capital Funds in the Working Capital Account to fund such Interest/Carry Shortfall into the Interest/Carry Cost Reserve Account as may be required hereunder.

Section 9.1
hereof, no assignment, sale, negotiation, pledge, hypothecation or other transfer of any part of any Lender’s interest in and to the Loan shall be effective until such Lender shall have provided Administrative Agent with written notice of such transfer and Administrative Agent shall have registered such assignee’s name and address in the Register. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and Borrower, Administrative Agent and each Lender 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, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. 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. Administrative Agent hereby agrees to indemnify Borrower and to hold Borrower harmless from any actions, suits, claims, demands, liabilities, losses, damages, obligations and actual costs and expenses which Borrower sustains or incurs as a consequence of Administrative Agent maintaining the Register, except to the extent such loss or expense is caused by Borrower’s fraud or willful misconduct.

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 the Loan or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish
that such Loan 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.
(b)

Severance Documentation
. Each Lender, without in any way limiting such Lender’s other rights hereunder, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall have the right, at any time (whether prior to or after any Secondary Market Transaction) at no cost and expense to Borrower, except as set forth in

Note
” as used in this Agreement and in all the other Loan Documents shall include all such component notes and/or substitute notes but shall exclude any Note replaced by the same), and/or modify the Loan in order to create one or more senior and subordinate notes (

provided
that, in each case, (I) the Outstanding Principal Balance and the aggregate monthly payments required of all components immediately after the effective date of such modification equals the Outstanding Principal Balance and the aggregate monthly payments required immediately prior to such modification, the weighted average of the interest rates for all components immediately after the effective date of such modification equals the interest rate of the original Note immediately prior to such modification (it being agreed that Borrower shall not be subject to any “rate creep” in connection with this
Section 9.5
, except that prepayments or repayments of the Outstanding Principal Balance after the occurrence of an Event of Default and/or the application of Net Proceeds pursuant hereto may be applied to the components of the Note sequentially, starting with the most senior component, and, as a result thereof, the weighted average interest rate payable under the Loan may change), (II) Borrower’s obligations and liabilities are not increased and Borrower’s rights are not reduced, in each case other than to a de minimis extent and (III) such modifications do not amend any other economic or material terms of the Loan in a manner that is detrimental to Borrower.

Section 9.1
, at each Lender’s election, each note comprising the Loan may be subject separately to one or more Secondary Market Transactions. Each Lender shall have the right to modify the Note and any components in accordance with this
Section 9.5
and,
provided
that such modification shall comply with the terms of this
Section 9.5
,
such modification shall become immediately effective. If requested by Administrative Agent, Borrower shall promptly execute an amendment to the Loan Documents that is consistent with this
Section 9.5
to evidence any such modification. Additionally, at Administrative Agent’s request (on behalf of any Lender), Borrower shall execute such amendments to Borrower’s organizational documents as may be reasonably requested by any Lender in order to effect a re-sizing of the Loan;
provided
that any such amendment does not increase the obligations or liabilities of Borrower or decrease any rights of Borrower other than to a de minimis extent. Borrower shall (1) use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with all reasonable written requests of any Lender in order to establish the “component” notes (including any mezzanine notes), and (2) execute and deliver such documents as shall be reasonably required by Administrative Agent in connection therewith, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Borrower and Administrative Agent and the requesting Lender, including, without limitation, the severance of security documents if requested, provided, however, that Borrower shall not be required to modify or amend any Loan Document in connection with the creation of any such “component” notes, modification of the Loan or other transaction contemplated by this
Section 9.5
if, in each case such modification or amendment would (i) change the weighted interest rate effective immediately prior to such modification, the stated maturity date or the amortization of principal as set forth herein or in the Notes (it being agreed that Borrower shall not be subject to any “rate creep” in connection with this
Section 9.5
, except that prepayments or repayments of the Outstanding Principal Balance after the occurrence of an Event of Default and/or the application of Net Proceeds pursuant hereto may be applied to the components of the Note sequentially, starting with the most senior component, and, as a result thereof, the weighted average interest rate payable under the Loan may change), (ii) alter the rights or increase the obligations or liabilities of Borrower or Guarantor under the Loan Documents other than to a de minimis extent, or (iii) modify or amend any other economic or other material term of the Loan in a manner that is detrimental to Borrower. In the event Borrower fails to respond to a request to execute and deliver such documents to a Lender within ten (10) Business Days following such written request by such Lender, Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints any such Lender as its true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in its name and stead to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect such transactions, Borrower hereby ratifying all that such attorney shall do by virtue thereof. In connection with any Secondary Market Transaction, Lenders may enter into one or more agreements among themselves (each such agreement, a “
Co-Lender Agreement
”) pertaining to the distribution and application of payments and collections among the Lenders and the duties and obligations of Administrative Agent to the Lenders, including the obligations of Administrative Agent to obtain consent from the Lenders with respect to actions and decisions. In the event of any conflict between this Agreement and a Co-Lender Agreement pertaining to such matters, the Co-Lender Agreement shall control; provided that no Co-Lender Agreement shall increase any obligations or adversely affect any rights of Borrower other than to a de minimis extent. Lenders and Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to disclose any Co-Lender Agreement to Borrower, and Borrower shall not be an intended beneficiary of or otherwise entitled to enforce any Co-Lender Agreement.

Section 10.2
Remedies
.
(a)
Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all or any one or more of the rights, powers, privileges and other remedies available to Administrative Agent against Borrower under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents executed and delivered by, or applicable to, Borrower or at law or in equity may be exercised by Administrative Agent at any time and from time to time, whether or not all or any of the Debt shall be declared due and payable, and whether or not 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 with respect to the Property. Any such actions taken by Administrative Agent 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 sole discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Administrative Agent permitted by law, equity or contract or as set forth
herein or in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if an Event of Default is continuing (i) Administrative Agent is not subject to any “one action” or “election of remedies” law or rule, and (ii) all liens and other rights, remedies or privileges provided to Administrative Agent shall remain in full force and effect until Administrative Agent has exhausted all of its remedies against the Property and the Mortgage has been foreclosed, sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Debt or the Debt has been paid in full.
(b)
With respect to Borrower and the Property, nothing contained herein or in any other Loan Document shall be construed as requiring Administrative Agent to resort to the Property for the satisfaction of any of the Debt in any preference or priority, and Administrative Agent may seek satisfaction out of the Property, or any part thereof, in its absolute discretion in respect of the Debt.
(c)
In addition to all remedies conferred it by law and by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Administrative Agent may pursue any one or more of the following remedies concurrently or successively, on its own or through a court appointed receiver, it being the intent hereof that none of such remedies shall be to the exclusion of any other, and with full rights to reimbursement from Borrower and Savanna Guarantor (without any limitation of the rights Administrative Agent or Lender may have under the Guaranties):
(i)
take possession of the Property and complete any construction work at the Property, including, without limitation, the right to avail itself of and procure performance of existing contracts or let any contracts with the same contractors or others and to employ watchmen to protect such Property from injury. Without restricting the generality of the foregoing and for the purposes aforesaid to be exercised during the existence and continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower hereby appoints and constitutes Administrative Agent its lawful attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution to complete any construction work at the Property in the name of Borrower;
(ii)
except as set forth herein, use Reserve Funds to complete any construction work at the Property;
(iii)
retain or employ new general contractors, subcontractors, architects, engineers and inspectors as shall be required for said purposes; to pay, settle or compromise all existing bills and claims which may be liens or security interests, or to avoid such bills and claims becoming liens against the Property, or as may be necessary or desirable for the completion of any construction work at the Property or for the clearance of title to such Property;
(iv)
execute all applications and certificates in the name of Borrower which may be required by, and in accordance with, any of the contracts or agreements;
(v)
prosecute and defend all actions or proceedings in connection with any construction work at the Property; and
(vi)
take any action and require such performance as it deems necessary to be furnished hereunder and to make settlements and compromises with the surety or
sureties thereunder, and in connection therewith, to execute instruments of release and satisfaction.
(d)
Upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, Administrative Agent shall have the right from time to time to partially foreclose the Mortgage in any manner and for any amounts secured by the Mortgage then due and payable as determined by Administrative Agent in its sole discretion including, without limitation, the following circumstances: (i) in the event Borrower defaults beyond any applicable grace, notice and cure period in the payment of one or more scheduled payments of principal and interest, Administrative Agent may foreclose the Mortgage to recover such delinquent payments, or (ii) in the event Administrative Agent elects to accelerate less than the entire Outstanding Principal Balance of the Loan, Administrative Agent may foreclose the Mortgage to recover so much of the principal balance of the Loan as Administrative Agent may accelerate and such other sums secured by the Mortgage as Administrative Agent may elect. Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, the Property shall remain subject to the Mortgage to secure payment of sums secured by the Mortgage and not previously recovered.
(e)
In connection with the exercise of remedies after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Administrative Agent shall have the right from time to time to sever the Note and the other Loan Documents into one or more separate notes, mortgages and other security documents (the “
Severed Loan Documents
”) in such denominations as Administrative Agent shall determine in its sole discretion for purposes of evidencing and enforcing its rights and remedies provided hereunder. Borrower shall execute and deliver to Administrative Agent from time to time, promptly after the written request of Administrative Agent, a severance agreement and such other documents as Administrative Agent shall reasonably deem necessary in order to effect the severance described in the preceding sentence, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent. Following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, 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 the aforesaid severance, Borrower ratifying all that its said attorney shall do by virtue thereof; provided, however, Administrative Agent shall not make or execute any such documents under such power until three (3) days after notice has been given to Borrower by Administrative Agent of Administrative Agent’s intent to exercise its rights under such power. Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any costs or expenses of Borrower, Administrative Agent or any other party incurred in connection with the preparation, execution, recording or filing of the Severed Loan Documents and the Severed Loan Documents shall not contain any representations, warranties or covenants not contained in the Loan Documents and any such representations and warranties contained in the Severed Loan Documents will be given by Borrower only as of the Closing Date. The Severed Loan Documents shall not increase Borrower’s or Guarantor’s obligations or decrease Borrower’s or Guarantor’s rights under the Loan Documents other than to a de minimis extent or amend the economic terms of the Loan Documents; provided, however, prepayments or repayments of the Outstanding Principal Balance after the occurrence of an Event of Default or resulting from the application of Net Proceeds may be applied to the components of the Note sequentially, starting with the most senior component, and, as a result thereof, the weighted average interest rate payable under the Loan may change.
(f)
Any amounts recovered from the Property or any other collateral for the Loan after an Event of Default may be applied by Administrative Agent toward the payment of any interest and/or principal of the Loan and/or any other amounts due under the Loan Documents in such order, priority and proportions as Administrative Agent in its sole discretion shall determine.
Section 10.3
Right to Cure Defaults
.
Following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Administrative Agent may, but without any obligation to do so and without notice to or demand on Borrower (except as otherwise provided in any of the Loan Documents and/or required by applicable Legal Requirements) and without releasing Borrower from any obligation hereunder or being deemed to have cured any Event of Default hereunder, make, do or perform any obligation of Borrower hereunder in such manner and to such extent as Administrative Agent may deem necessary. Upon reasonable advance written notice to Borrower and subject to rights of Tenants under the Leases, and following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Administrative Agent is authorized to enter upon the Property for such purposes, or appear in, defend, or bring any action or proceeding to protect its interest in the Property for such purposes, and the cost and expense thereof (including reasonable attorneys’ fees to the extent permitted by law), with interest as provided in this
Section 10.3
, shall constitute a portion of the Debt and shall be due and payable to Administrative Agent upon demand. All such costs and expenses incurred by Administrative Agent in remedying such Event of Default or such failed payment or act or in appearing in, defending, or bringing any action or proceeding shall bear interest at the Default Rate, for the period after such cost or expense was incurred into the date of payment to Administrative Agent. All such costs and expenses incurred by Administrative Agent together with interest thereon calculated at the Default Rate shall be deemed to constitute a portion of the Debt and be secured by the liens, claims and security interests provided to Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents and shall be promptly due and payable following written demand by Administrative Agent therefor.
Section 10.4
Remedies Cumulative
.
The rights, powers and remedies of Administrative Agent under this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which Administrative Agent may have against Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or existing at law or in equity or otherwise. Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and remedies may be pursued singly, concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Administrative Agent may determine in Administrative Agent’s sole discretion. No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing during the continuance of an Event of Default shall impair any such remedy, right or power or shall 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 with respect to Borrower shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default by Borrower or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon.

Borrower waives any claim, set-off or defense against Administrative Agent arising by reason of any alleged default by Administrative Agent as to which Borrower does not give such notice timely as aforesaid.

ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND AGREEMENTS AMONG LENDERS
Section 13.1
Appointment; Nature of Relationship
.
Administrative Agent is hereby appointed by each Lender as its sole and exclusive contractual representative hereunder and under each other Loan Document, and each Lender irrevocably authorizes Administrative Agent to act as the sole and exclusive contractual representative of such Lender with the rights and duties expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Administrative Agent agrees to act as such contractual representative upon the
express conditions contained in this
Article 13
. Notwithstanding the use of the defined term “Administrative Agent,” it is expressly understood and agreed that Administrative Agent shall not have any fiduciary responsibilities to any Lender by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Document and that Administrative Agent is merely acting as the contractual representative of Lenders with only those duties as are expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. In its capacity as Lenders’ contractual representative, Administrative Agent (a) does not hereby assume any fiduciary duties to any of Lenders, and (b) is acting as an independent contractor, the rights and duties of which are limited to those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each Lender hereby agrees to assert with respect to the Loan Documents and administration of the Loan, no claim against Administrative Agent on any agency theory or any other theory of liability for breach of fiduciary duty, all of which claims each Lender hereby waives. Each Lender hereby agrees that, except as otherwise set forth herein, any action taken by the Requisite Lenders in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or the Loan Documents, and the exercise by the Requisite Lenders of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all of the Lenders. As to any matters not expressly provided for by the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, enforcement or collection of any of Borrower’s obligations hereunder), Administrative Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Requisite Lenders (or all of the Lenders if explicitly required under any other provision of this Agreement), and such instructions shall be binding upon all Lenders and all holders of any of the obligations of Borrower; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action which exposes Administrative Agent to personal liability or which is contrary to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or applicable law. Not in limitation of the foregoing, Administrative Agent may exercise any right or remedy it or the Lenders may have under any Loan Document upon the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default unless the Requisite Lenders have directed Administrative Agent otherwise. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against Administrative Agent as a result of Administrative Agent acting or refraining from acting under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents in accordance with the instructions of the Requisite Lenders, or where applicable, all the Lenders.
Section 13.2
Powers

Administrative Agent shall have and may exercise such powers under the Loan Documents as are specifically delegated to Administrative Agent by the terms of each thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Administrative Agent shall have no implied duties to Lenders, or any obligation to Lenders to take any action thereunder except any action specifically provided by the Loan Documents to be taken by Administrative Agent. Borrower shall be entitled to rely upon any communication or action by Administrative Agent, and shall have no duty to ascertain whether the consent of Requisite Lenders or all Lenders was required or obtained.
Section 13.3
General Immunity

Administrative Agent shall have no duty to disclose to Lenders information that is not required to be furnished by Borrower to Administrative Agent at such time, but is voluntarily furnished by Borrower to Administrative Agent (either in its capacity as Administrative Agent or in its individual capacity as a Lender or otherwise).
Section 13.5
Action on Instructions of Lenders
.
Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder and under any other Loan Document in accordance with written instructions signed by the Requisite Lenders or, where consent of all Lenders is required, all Lenders, and such instructions and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on all Lenders and on all holders of the Note. Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action hereunder and under any other Loan Document unless it shall first be indemnified to its reasonable satisfaction by all Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares against any and all liability, cost and expense that it may incur by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.
Section 13.6
Employment of Agents and Counsel
.
Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties as Administrative Agent hereunder and under any other Loan Document by or through employees, agents, service providers, and attorneys-in-fact and so long as it exercises reasonable care in the selection of such parties, Administrative Agent shall not be answerable to Lenders, except as to money or securities received by it or its authorized agents, for the default or misconduct of any such parties. Administrative Agent shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to the agency hereby created and its duties hereunder and under any other Loan Document.
Section 13.7
Reliance on Documents; Counsel
.
Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any note, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, statement, paper or document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person or Persons, and, in respect to legal matters, upon the opinion of counsel selected by Administrative Agent, which counsel may be employees of Administrative Agent.
Section 13.8
Administrative Agent’s Reimbursement and Indemnification
.
Lenders agree to reimburse and indemnify Administrative Agent ratably in proportion to their respective Commitments (a) for any reasonable amounts not reimbursed by Borrower for which Administrative Agent is entitled to reimbursement by Borrower under the Loan Documents including out-of-pocket expenses in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery of the Loan Documents (and without limiting the obligation of Borrower to do so), (b) for any other out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Administrative Agent (or its representatives) on behalf of Lenders, in connection with the administration and enforcement of the Loan Documents and (c) for any liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents or any other document delivered in connection therewith or the transactions contemplated thereby, or the enforcement of any of the terms thereof or of any such other documents,
provided
that no Lender shall be liable for (y) any of the foregoing to the extent they arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Administrative Agent, or (z) any costs or expenses of Administrative Agent’s in-house legal staff and personnel. The obligations of Lenders under this
Section 13.8
shall survive payment of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement.
Section 13.9
Rights as a Lender
.
In the event Administrative Agent is a Lender, Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers and the same duties and obligations hereunder and under any other Loan Document as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not Administrative Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, at any time when Administrative Agent is a Lender, unless the context otherwise indicates, include Administrative Agent in its individual capacity. Administrative Agent may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of trust, debt, equity or other transaction, in addition to those contemplated by this Agreement or any other Loan Document, with Borrower in which Borrower are not restricted hereby from engaging with any other Person.
Section 13.10
Lender Credit Decision
.
Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on the financial statements prepared by Guarantor and Borrower and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each Lender also acknowledges 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 credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Administrative Agent shall not be required to keep itself informed as to the performance or observance by Borrower or any other party or any other document referred to or provided for therein or to inspect the properties or books of, or make any other investigation of, Borrower or any other party. Except for notices, reports and other documents and information expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, Administrative Agent shall have no duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of Borrower, any other party or any other Affiliate thereof which may come into possession of Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys in fact or other Affiliates.
Section 13.11
Successor Administrative Agent
.
Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to Lenders and Borrower. Administrative Agent may be removed by the Requisite Lenders if Administrative Agent (i) is found by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment to have committed gross negligence or willful misconduct in the course of performing its duties hereunder or (ii) has become or is insolvent or has become the subject of a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, or has had a receiver, conservator, trustee or custodian appointed for it, or has taken any action in furtherance of, or indicating its consent to, approval of or acquiescence in any such proceeding or appointment, such removal to be effective on the date specified by the Requisite Lenders. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Requisite Lenders (at no cost or expense to Borrower) shall have the right to appoint, on behalf of Borrower and Lenders, a successor Administrative Agent. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Requisite Lenders within thirty days after the resigning Administrative Agent’s giving notice of its intention to resign, then the resigning Administrative Agent shall appoint, on behalf of Borrower and Lenders, a successor Administrative Agent. No successor Administrative Agent shall be deemed to be appointed hereunder until such successor Administrative Agent has accepted the appointment. 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 resigning or removed Administrative Agent. Upon the effectiveness of the resignation or removal of Administrative Agent, the resigning or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations thereafter arising hereunder and under the Loan Documents. After the effectiveness of the resignation or removal of an Administrative Agent, the provisions of this
Article 13
shall continue in effect for the benefit of such Administrative Agent in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Administrative Agent may assign its rights and duties under the Loan Documents to any of its affiliates by giving Borrower and each Lender prior written notice.

(b)

. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing, and signed by all of the Lenders (or Administrative Agent at the written direction of the Lenders), do any of the following:
(i)
increase the Commitments of the Lenders (excluding any increase as a result of an assignment of Loans permitted under Section 10.21 or, for the avoidance of doubt, any Protective Advances permitted under
Section 13.19
) or subject the Lenders to any additional obligations;
(ii)
reduce the principal of, or interest or interest rates that have accrued or that will be charged on the outstanding principal amount of, the Loan;

change any Lender’s pro rata share of payments made or received in connection with any Loan (excluding any change as a result of an assignment of Loans permitted under

(vii)
modify the definition of the term “Requisite Lenders” or modify in any other manner the number or percentage of the Lenders required to make any determinations or waive any rights hereunder or to modify any provision hereof;

Amendment of Administrative Agent’s Duties, Etc.
No amendment, waiver or consent unless in writing and signed by Administrative Agent, in addition to the Lenders required hereinabove to take such action, shall affect the rights or duties of Administrative Agent under this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents. No waiver shall extend to or affect any obligation not expressly waived or impair any right consequent thereon and any amendment, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose set forth therein. No course of dealing or delay or omission on the part of Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise be prejudicial thereto. Any Event of Default occurring hereunder shall continue to exist until such time as such Event of Default is waived in writing in accordance with the terms of this Section, notwithstanding any attempted cure or other action by the Borrower, any Affiliate thereof or any other Person subsequent to the occurrence of such Event of Default. Except as otherwise explicitly provided for herein or in any other Loan Document, no notice to or demand upon the Borrower shall entitle the Borrower to other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.
(d)
Standard for Consent.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Lenders agree that if the Loan Documents impose a standard of determination (such as “reasonableness”) on Administrative Agent or Lender thereunder with respect to a proposed action or decision which would be subject to Requisite Lender or unanimous Lender consent hereunder, then each Lender shall apply and will be held to the same standard with respect to the proposed action or decision, accordingly, for the sake of clarity, if Administrative Agent or Lenders are required to be reasonable with respect to approving or consenting to a given action or item under the Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents which also requires Requisite Lender or unanimous Lender consent hereunder, then each Lender shall also be reasonable in providing its consent or approval of such action or item.
Section 13.13
Notice of Defaults
.
If a Lender becomes aware of a Default or an Event of Default, such Lender shall notify Administrative Agent of such fact provided that the failure to give such notice shall not create liability on the part of a Lender. Upon receipt of such notice that a Default or Event of Default has occurred, Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender thereof.
Section 13.14
Requests for Approval
.
If Administrative Agent requests in writing the consent or approval of a Lender, such Lender shall respond and either approve or disapprove definitively in writing to Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days (or sooner if such notice specifies a shorter period for responses based on Administrative Agent’s good faith determination that circumstances exist warranting its request for an earlier response) after such written request from Administrative Agent, then Administrative Agent will send a second request to such Lender. In the event any Lender fails to reply to such second
request for approval from Administrative Agent within five (5) days (or sooner if such notice specifies a shorter period for responses based on Administrative Agent’s good faith determination that circumstances exist warranting its request for an earlier response), which second request shall state in bold lettering: “
LENDER’S RESPONSE IS REQUIRED WITHIN THREE (3) DAYS AFTER RECEIPT OF THIS NOTICE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF THE LOAN AGREEMENT. FAILURE TO RESPOND WITHIN SUCH TIME PERIOD SHALL BE DEEMED APPROVAL BY LENDER OF THE MATTERS SET FORTH HEREIN
” with the appropriate number of days inserted by Administrative Agent, then such Lender shall be deemed to have approved (and voted in favor of) Administrative Agent’s recommendation with respect to any matters set forth in the request.
Section 13.15
Copies of Documents
.
Within fifteen (15) Business Days after a request by a Lender to Administrative Agent for documents furnished to Administrative Agent by Borrower, Administrative Agent shall, to the extent actually provided by Borrower, provide copies of such documents to such Lender.
Section 13.16
Defaulting Lenders
.
At such time as a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender’s right to vote on matters which are subject to the consent or approval of the Requisite Lenders, each affected Lender or all Lenders shall be immediately suspended until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, except that the amount of the Commitment of the Defaulting Lender may not be increased or (except as provided herein) decreased without its consent. If a Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its Pro Rata Share of any Loan and until such time as such Defaulting Lender subsequently funds its Pro Rata Share of such Loan, all 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 of, interest on and other sums relating to the amounts funded by the other Lenders which were included in the Loans with respect to which the Defaulting Lender failed to fund its Pro Rata Shares (such principal, interest and fees being referred to as “
Senior Loans
” for the purposes of this Section). All amounts paid by Borrower and otherwise due to be applied to the obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to the terms hereof shall first be distributed by Administrative Agent to the other Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares (recalculated for the purposes hereof to exclude the Commitment of the Defaulting Lender) 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 obligation of Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The provisions of this Section shall apply and be effective regardless of whether an Event of Default occurs and is 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 the Requisite Lenders or all Lenders.
Section 13.17
Pro Rata Treatment.
Except to the extent otherwise provided herein: (a) each borrowing from Lenders shall be made from the Lenders, each payment of the fees shall be made for the account of the Lenders, and each termination or reduction of the amount of the Commitments pursuant to this Agreement shall be applied to the respective Commitments of the Lenders, pro rata according to the amounts of their respective Commitments; (b) each payment or prepayment of principal of the Loan by the Borrower shall be made for the account of the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of the Loan held by them, provided that if immediately prior to giving effect to any such payment in respect of the Loan the outstanding principal amount of the Loan shall not be held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Commitments in effect at the time the Loan was made, then such payment shall be applied to the Loan in such manner as shall result, as nearly as is practicable, in the outstanding principal amount of the Loan being held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Commitments; and (c) each payment of interest on the Loan by the Borrower shall be made for the account of the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the amounts of interest on the Loan then due and payable to the respective Lenders.
Section 13.18
Sharing of Payments, Etc.
Lenders agree among themselves that (i) with respect to all amounts received by them which are applicable to the payment of the obligations of Borrower or Guarantor under the Loan, equitable adjustment will be made so that, in effect, all such amounts will be shared among them ratably in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares in the Loan, whether received by voluntary payment, by counterclaim or cross action or by the enforcement of any or all of such obligations, (ii) if any of them shall by voluntary payment or by the exercise of any right of counterclaim or otherwise, receive payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of such obligations held by it which is greater than its Pro Rata Share in the Loan of the payments on account of such obligations, the one receiving such excess payment shall purchase, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation (which it shall be deemed to have done simultaneously upon the receipt of such payment) in such obligations owed to the others so that all such recoveries with respect to such obligations shall be applied ratably in accordance with such Pro Rata Shares; provided, that if all or part of such excess payment received by the purchasing party is thereafter recovered from it, those purchases shall be rescinded and the purchase prices paid for such participations shall be returned to that party to the extent necessary to adjust for such recovery, but without interest except to the extent the purchasing party is required to pay interest in connection with such recovery. Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this
Section 13.18
may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of Borrower in the amount of such participation.
Section 13.19
Collateral Matters; Protective Advances.
(a)
Each Lender hereby authorizes Administrative Agent, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from any Lender, from time to time prior to a Default, to take any action with respect to any Collateral or Loan Documents which may be necessary to
perfect and maintain perfected the Liens upon the Collateral granted pursuant to any of the Loan Documents.
(b)
The Lenders hereby authorize Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release any Lien granted to or held by Administrative Agent upon any Collateral (i) upon termination of the Commitments and indefeasible payment and satisfaction in full of all of obligations of Borrower hereunder; (ii) as expressly permitted by, but only in accordance with, the terms of the applicable Loan Document; and (iii) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Requisite Lenders (or such greater number of Lenders as this Agreement or any other Loan Document may expressly provide). Upon request by Administrative Agent at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing Administrative Agent’s authority to release particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section. In addition to the foregoing, the Lenders hereby authorize Administrative Agent to take such actions and execute, file and/or deliver such documents as are contemplated in
Section 2.4
, and the Lenders agree to cooperate with Administrative Agent in connection therewith.
(c)
Upon any sale and transfer of Collateral which is expressly permitted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and upon at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written request by the Borrower, Administrative Agent shall (and is hereby irrevocably authorized by the Lenders to) execute such documents as may be necessary to evidence the release of the Liens granted to Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders herein or pursuant hereto upon the Collateral that was sold or transferred; provided, however, that (i) Administrative Agent shall not be required to execute any such document on terms which, in Administrative Agent’s opinion, would expose Administrative Agent to liability or create any obligation or entail any consequence other than the release of such Liens without recourse or warranty and (ii) such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the obligations of Borrower or any Liens upon (or obligations of the Borrower or any of its Affiliates in respect of) all interests retained by the Borrower or any of its Affiliates, including (without limitation) the proceeds of such sale or transfer, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral. In the event of any sale or transfer of Collateral, or any foreclosure with respect to any of the Collateral, Administrative Agent shall be authorized to deduct all of the expenses reasonably incurred by Administrative Agent from the proceeds of any such sale, transfer or foreclosure. The foregoing provisions of this
Section 13.19(c)
shall not be construed to diminish Administrative Agent’s obligations or Borrower’s rights under
Section 2.4.
(d)
Administrative Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to the Lenders or to any other Person to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by the Borrower or any of its Affiliates 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 Section or in any of the Loan Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission or event related thereto, Administrative Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion, given Administrative Agent’s own interest in the Collateral as one of the Lenders and that
Administrative Agent shall have no duty or liability whatsoever to the Lenders, except to the extent resulting from its gross negligence or willful misconduct.
(e)
Following the occurrence of a default by Borrower, (or if Administrative Agent reasonably believes it is necessary to prevent the occurrence of a default by Borrower), Administrative Agent may make, and shall be reimbursed by the Lenders (in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares) to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower for, Protective Advances during any one calendar year with respect to any Property that is Collateral up to the sum of (i) amounts expended to pay real estate taxes, assessments and governmental charges or levies imposed upon such Property; (ii) amounts expended to pay insurance premiums for policies of insurance related to such Property; and (iii) $1,000,000. Protective Advances in excess of said sum during any calendar year for any Property that is Collateral shall require the consent of the Requisite Lenders. The Borrower agrees to pay on demand all Protective Advances.
(f)
Each Lender agrees that it will not take any action, nor institute any actions or proceedings, against Borrower or any other obligor hereunder under the Loan Documents with respect to exercising claims against or rights in the Collateral without the written consent of Requisite Lenders.
Section 13.20
Borrower Default.
(a)
Promptly after Administrative Agent or any Lender acquires actual knowledge that an Event of Default has occurred, such party shall notify the other Lenders in writing of the Event of Default. Promptly after Administrative Agent acquires actual knowledge of the occurrence of an Event of Default, Administrative Agent shall give notice of the Event of Default to Borrower and any other parties to whom notice must be provided under this Agreement. Administrative Agent shall send a copy of that default notice to all Lenders promptly after sending such notice. Neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall be deemed to have actual knowledge of the occurrence of an Event of Default unless Administrative Agent or such Lender has received written notice from a Lender or Borrower referring to this Agreement and describing the Event of Default (provided, however, that Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have actual knowledge of any Event of Default described in
Section 10.1(a)(i)(
A) or
(B
)) without receipt of a written notice from a Lender or Borrower referring to this Agreement and describing such Event of Default.
(b)
In the event that the Requisite Lenders approve or direct the commencement of a foreclosure proceeding or other exercise of remedies, to the extent not already done so, Administrative Agent shall declare the outstanding principal balance of the Loan, all interest thereon and all other amounts payable under the Loan Documents to be immediately due and payable and shall promptly commence and diligently pursue in a commercially reasonable manner such foreclosure proceeding; provided, that (i) such action is not stayed by any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding or any other injunction or court order and (ii) Administrative Agent believes in good faith that such action will not expose Administrative Agent to any liability from any party, including, without limitation, Borrower or any Lender. If, after commencing such foreclosure proceeding, Administrative Agent is directed to cease such action or to take another course of action by the Requisite Lenders under the terms of this Agreement, Administrative Agent shall follow such direction.
(c)
In the event that the Requisite Lenders have not approved the commencement of a foreclosure proceeding or other exercise of remedies within the initial one hundred eighty (180) days following the occurrence of an Event of Default, Administrative Agent shall have the right, without the consent of the Requisite Lenders to commence a foreclosure proceeding or other exercise of remedies in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion.
Section 13.21
Post-Foreclosure Plans
.
If all or any portion of the Collateral is acquired by Administrative Agent 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 of Borrower hereunder, the title to any such Collateral, or any portion thereof, shall be held in the name of Administrative Agent or a nominee or subsidiary of Administrative Agent, as agent, for the ratable benefit of all Lenders. Administrative Agent shall prepare a recommended course of action for such Collateral (a “
Post-Foreclosure Plan
”), which shall be subject to the approval of the Requisite Lenders. In accordance with the approved Post-Foreclosure Plan, Administrative Agent shall manage, operate, repair, administer, complete, construct, restore or otherwise deal with the Collateral acquired, and shall administer all transactions relating thereto, including, without limitation, employing a management agent, leasing agent and other agents, contractors and employees, including agents for the sale of such Collateral, and the collecting of rents and other sums from such Collateral and paying the expenses of such Collateral. Actions taken by Administrative Agent with respect to the Collateral, which are not specifically provided for in the approved Post-Foreclosure Plan or reasonably incidental thereto, shall require the written consent of the Requisite Lenders by way of supplement to such Post-Foreclosure Plan. Upon demand therefor from time to time, each Lender will contribute its share (based on its Pro Rata Share) of all reasonable 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 such Collateral. In addition, Administrative Agent shall render or cause to be rendered to each Lender, on a monthly basis, an income and expense statement for such Collateral, and each Lender shall promptly contribute its Pro Rata Share of any operating loss for such Collateral, 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. To the extent there is net operating income from such Collateral, Administrative Agent shall, in accordance with the approved Post-Foreclosure Plan, determine the amount and timing of distributions to the Lenders. All such distributions shall be made to the Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares. The Lenders acknowledge and agree that if title to any Collateral is obtained by Administrative Agent or its nominee, such Collateral will not be held as a permanent investment but will be liquidated as soon as practicable. Administrative Agent shall undertake to sell such Collateral, at such price and upon such terms and conditions as the Requisite 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 such Collateral in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence shall name Administrative Agent, as agent for the Lenders, as the beneficiary or mortgagee. In such case, Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall enter into an agreement with respect to such purchase money mortgage or deed of trust defining the rights of the Lenders in the same Pro Rata Shares as provided hereunder, which agreement shall be in all material respects similar to this Article insofar as the same is appropriate or applicable.

If (i) Borrower is obligated hereunder to undertake any action that may only be undertaken by Mortgage Borrower, or (ii) this Agreement obligates or prohibits Mortgage Borrower to undertake any action, or (iii) this Agreement requires Borrower to “cause” or “not to permit” Mortgage Borrower from taking any action, the applicable provision hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents shall be deemed to require Borrower to exercise its rights as the sole member of the Mortgage Borrower to cause Mortgage Borrower to undertake such action or abstain from taking such action (and, in no event shall Borrower be required to act directly with respect to the Property or in any other manner which would violate any of the covenants contained in Section 3.1.24 of this Agreement or in Section 3.1.24 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement or other similar covenants contained in Borrower’s or Mortgage Borrower’s organizational documents).

2.1.3
The Note
. The Loan shall be evidenced by that certain Mezzanine Loan Promissory Note of even date herewith, in the maximum principal amount of Eighty-Seven Million One Hundred Twenty Five Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($87,125,000.00) made by Borrower and payable to Lenders in evidence of the Loan (as the same may hereafter be amended, supplemented, restated, increased, extended or consolidated from time to time, the “
Note
”) and shall be repaid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Note.
2.1.4
Use of Proceeds

No Future Advances or any portion thereof shall be made directly or indirectly for payments to a Borrower Related Party, except (a) as expressly permitted in the Loan Documents, or (b) as otherwise may be approved in writing by Administrative Agent. The obligations of the Lenders to make Future Advances hereunder are several, and not joint, and under no circumstances shall any Lender be obligated to fund more of its Pro Rata Share of any Future Advance or more than its Commitment.
Section 2.2
The Interest Rate
.
2.2.1
Applicable Interest Rate
. Subject to the last sentence of this
Section 2.2.1
, except as herein provided with respect to interest accruing at the Default Rate, interest on the Note outstanding from time to time shall accrue from the Closing Date up to and including the Maturity Date at the Applicable Interest Rate. In the event that any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, interest on the Obligations shall accrue interest at the Default Rate for the period that such Event of Default is continuing (it being agreed that Administrative Agent and Lenders have no obligation to accept a cure of an Event of Default).
2.2.2
Interest Calculation
. Interest on the Note shall be calculated by multiplying (a) the actual number of days elapsed in the period for which the calculation is being made by (b) a daily rate based on a three hundred sixty (360) day year (that is, the Applicable Interest Rate or the Default Rate, as then applicable to the Note, expressed as an annual rate divided by 360) by (c) the Outstanding Principal Balance.
2.2.3
Determination of Interest Rate
.
(a)
Each determination by Administrative Agent of the Applicable Interest Rate shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
(b)
Unless and until a Substitute Rate is implemented in accordance with
Section 2.2.3(c)
hereof, if, for any reason Administrative Agent determines in its sole but good faith discretion (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that: (i) United States dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank Eurodollar market for a period approximately equal to the applicable Interest Period; (ii) reasonable and adequate means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR for the applicable Interest Period; or (iii) LIBOR does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lenders of making or maintaining any LIBOR Loan during an applicable Interest Period (any such determination being hereinafter referred to as a “
LIBOR Rate Unavailable Determination
”), then Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to Borrower. From and after Borrower’s receipt of such notice unless and until a Substitute Rate is implemented in accordance with Section 2.2.3(c) hereof, the Applicable Interest Rate shall be the Base Rate, subject to
Section 2.2.3(d)
hereof.
(c)
If for any reason Administrative Agent determines in its sole but good (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that: (i) (a) United States dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank Eurodollar market for a period approximately equal to the applicable Interest Period or (b) reasonable and adequate means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR for the applicable Interest Period, and that such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary; (ii) LIBOR is no longer a widely recognizable benchmark rate for newly originated commercial real estate loans in the United States; or (iii) the applicable supervisor or administrator (if any) of LIBOR, or any governmental authority having or purporting to have jurisdiction over Administrative Agent, has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which LIBOR shall no longer be used for determining interest rates for commercial real estate loans in the United States (any such determination being hereinafter referred to as a “
LIBOR Rate Discontinued Determination
”), then Administrative Agent may designate a replacement rate
(“
Substitute Rate
”) that Administrative Agent may thereafter elect to implement in lieu of LIBOR in accordance with the terms hereof, and if so implemented, any reference to LIBOR herein shall thereafter be deemed to refer to the Substitute Rate. Such Substitute Rate shall (I) be a market standard reference rate which is then generally being implemented by Administrative Agent and other lenders across commercial real estate loan portfolios as a replacement for LIBOR and (II) be publicly recognized by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) as an alternative to the LIBOR Rate; provided, however, that if the Substitute Rate determined as provided above with respect to any Interest Period shall ever be less than the LIBOR Floor, then the Substitute Rate for such Interest Period shall be deemed to be the LIBOR Floor. If a Substitute Rate is so implemented, Administrative Agent shall designate (which designation shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error), and implement concurrently with the Substitute Rate, a replacement spread (“
Substitute Spread
”) which shall be equal to the Applicable Spread, adjusted by Administrative Agent, in a manner consistent with Administrative Agent’s treatment of similar mezzanine loan facilities, to compensate for any difference between (x) the Substitute Rate and (y) the average of LIBOR for the six (6) months prior to the date of the LIBOR Rate Discontinued Determination, which shall reflect the original intent of the parties with respect to the overall interest rate of the Loan. The Substitute Spread shall replace the Applicable Spread on the Interest Rate Replacement Date and shall thereafter remain constant notwithstanding that the Substitute Rate may fluctuate from time to time. When so implemented, any reference to the Applicable Spread herein shall thereafter be deemed to refer to the Substitute Spread. If a Substitute Rate is implemented in lieu of LIBOR, and a Substitute Spread is implemented in lieu of the Applicable Spread, as set forth above, Borrower agrees to enter into such modifications and/or replacement promissory notes as Administrative Agent deems necessary in order to evidence such replacements provided that any such modifications or replacement promissory notes do not increase the obligations or liabilities of Borrower or decrease any rights of Borrower other than to a de minimis extent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Administrative Agent agrees that it shall consult with Borrower regarding its selection of a Substitute Rate; provided, however, that final determination of the Substitute Rate shall be made by Administrative Agent in its sole but good faith discretion (and Borrower shall have no right to approve the same).
(d)
If, after the date hereof, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Loan has been converted to a Substitute Rate Loan and any Lender shall determine in its sole but reasonable discretion (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower absent manifest error) that the event(s) or circumstance(s) which resulted in such conversion shall no longer be applicable, such Lender shall give notice thereof to Borrower, and the Substitute Rate Loan shall automatically convert to a LIBOR Loan on the effective date set forth in such notice. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall Borrower have the right to elect to convert a LIBOR Loan to a Substitute Rate Loan.
(e)
If any requirement of law or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof, shall hereafter make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain a LIBOR Loan as contemplated hereunder, (i) the obligation of such Lender hereunder to make a LIBOR Loan shall be cancelled forthwith and (ii) such Lender may give Borrower and Lender a Lender’s Notice, establishing the Applicable Interest Rate at the Substitute Rate plus the Substitute Spread, in which case the Applicable Interest Rate shall be a rate equal to the Substitute Rate in effect from time to time plus the Substitute Spread and such initial Applicable Interest Rate based on the
Substitute Rate shall, as closely as reasonably possible, approximate the last Applicable Interest Rate based on LIBOR. In the event the condition necessitating the cancellation of such Lender’s obligation to make a LIBOR Loan hereunder shall cease, such Lender shall promptly notify Borrower and Lender of such cessation and the Loan shall resume its characteristics as a LIBOR Loan in accordance with the terms herein from and after the first day of the Interest Period next following such cessation. Borrower hereby agrees promptly to pay such Lender, upon demand, any additional amounts reasonably necessary to compensate such Lender for any out-of-pocket costs reasonably incurred by such Lender in making any conversion in accordance with this Agreement, including, without limitation, any interest or fees payable by such Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to make or maintain the LIBOR Loan hereunder. Any Lender’s notice of such costs, as certified to Borrower, shall be set forth in reasonable detail and such Lender’s calculation shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(f)
In the event that, after the date hereof, any change in any requirement of law or in the formal interpretation or application thereof, or compliance by any Lender with any directive (whether or not having the force of law) hereafter issued from any central bank or other Governmental Authority:
(i)
shall hereafter have the effect of reducing the rate of return on any Lender’s capital (other than as a result of an increase in taxes) as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender is reasonably likely to have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by any amount reasonably deemed by such Lender to be material;
(ii)
shall hereafter impose, modify, increase or hold applicable any material reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of any Lender which is not otherwise included in the determination of the rate hereunder (other than as a result of an increase in taxes); or
(iii)
shall hereafter impose on any Lender any other condition and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of making, renewing or maintaining loans or extensions of credit or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder;
and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Lender of making, renewing or maintaining the Loan or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder, then, in any such case, subject to the notice requirements in the subsequent sentence, provided that such Lender requests the same of similarly situated borrowers, Borrower shall promptly pay such Lender, upon demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender for such additional cost or reduced amount receivable which such Lender deems to be material as reasonably determined by such Lender; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be required under this
Section 2.2.3
to pay such Lender additional amounts for additional costs or reduced amounts receivable that are attributable to an increase in taxes imposed on such Lender. If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.2.3, Administrative Agent shall provide Borrower with not less
than ten (10) Business Days written notice specifying in reasonable detail the event by reason of which it has become so entitled and the additional amount required to fully compensate such Lender for such additional cost or reduced amount. A certificate as to any additional costs or amounts payable pursuant to the foregoing sentence, executed by an authorized signatory of any Lender and submitted by such Lender to Borrower shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. This provision shall survive payment of the Note and the satisfaction of all other obligations of Borrower under this Agreement and the Loan Documents. For the avoidance of doubt, any payments made pursuant to this
Section 2.2.3
shall not be deemed a prepayment and no prepayment premium shall be due in connection with such payments.
(g)
Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender and to hold each Lender harmless from any Losses which such Lender sustains or incurs as a consequence of (i) any default by Borrower in payment of the principal of or interest on a LIBOR Loan, including, without limitation, any such loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by such Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain a LIBOR Loan hereunder, (ii) any prepayment (whether voluntary or mandatory) of the LIBOR Loan on a day that (A) is not a Monthly Payment Date or (B) is a Monthly Payment Date if Borrower did not give the prior written notice of such prepayment required pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, such loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by such Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain the LIBOR Loan hereunder and (iii) the conversion in accordance with the terms hereof of the Applicable Interest Rate to the Substitute Rate plus the Substitute Spread with respect to any portion of the outstanding principal amount of the Loan then bearing interest at a rate other than the Substitute Rate plus the Substitute Spread on a date other than the first day of an Interest Period, including, without limitation, such loss or expenses arising from interest or fees payable by such Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain a LIBOR Loan hereunder (the amounts referred to in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) are herein referred to collectively as the “
Breakage Costs
”); provided, however, Borrower shall not indemnify Administrative Agent or any Lender from any Losses arising from Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s willful misconduct or gross negligence. Whenever in this
Section 2.2.3
the term “interest or fees payable by any Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it” is used and no such funds were actually obtained from such lenders, it shall include interest or fees which would have been payable by such Lender if it had obtained funds from lenders in order to maintain a LIBOR Loan hereunder. Each Lender will provide to Borrower a statement detailing such Breakage Costs and the calculation thereof.
(h)
The provisions of this
Section 2.2.3
shall survive payment of the Note in full and the satisfaction of all other obligations of Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
2.2.4
Usury Savings
. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are subject to the express condition that at no time shall Borrower be required to pay interest on the principal balance of the Loan at a rate which could subject any Lender to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate. If by the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the principal balance due hereunder at a rate in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate, the Applicable Interest Rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, shall be deemed to
be immediately reduced to the Maximum Legal Rate and all previous payments in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of principal and not on account of the interest due hereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to the Lenders for the use, forbearance, or detention of the sums due under the Loan, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of the Loan until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Loan does not exceed the Maximum Legal Rate from time to time in effect and applicable to the Loan for so long as the Loan is outstanding.
Section 2.3
Loan Payments
.
2.3.1
Payment Before Maturity Date

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 extend the Maturity Date hereunder.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Borrower shall have the right to prepay the Loan in an amount equal to the Mezzanine Pro Rata Share of the amount required to achieve the Minimum Extension Debt Yield to exercise the First Extension Option, the Second Extension Option or Third Extension Option, as applicable (any such amount, the “

If Borrower elects to deliver to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Lenders a Letter of Credit pursuant to this
Section 2.3.2
, then the Letter of Credit provisions set forth in

”) being paid by Mortgage Borrower. The parties further acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to such Approved Costs: (i) the portion of Approved Costs each Lender is required to fund as a Future Advance pursuant to this
Section 2.6
is such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Lender’s Percentage of such Approved Costs, (ii) the portion thereof that each Mortgage Lender is required to fund as a Future Advance (as defined in the Building Loan Agreement) pursuant to Section 2.6 of the Building Loan Agreement is such Mortgage Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Percentage of the Approved Costs and (iii) the portion thereof that Mortgage Lender is required to fund as a Future Advance (as defined in the Senior Loan Agreement) pursuant to Section 2.6 of the Senior Loan Agreement is such Mortgage Lender’s Percentage of the Approved Costs. For avoidance of doubt and by way of example only, in the event of a Borrower’s Requisition in which the Approved Costs are $1,000,000.00 and all conditions in this Agreement, the Building Loan Agreement and Mortgage Loan Agreement have been satisfied, then (A) the maximum aggregate amount of the Future Advance (as defined in each of the Senior Loan Agreement and Building Loan
Agreement) shall be $750,000.00 and (B) the maximum amount of the Future Advance to be made by the Lenders shall be $250,000.00. Borrower shall also be obligated to fund any cost overruns or other amount which needs to be expended in order to enable Borrower to satisfy its obligation under
Section 2.6.3
hereof to complete construction of Capital Expenditures Work and Tenant Improvement Work. At any time and from time to time during the term of the Loan, with respect to the aggregate Capital Expenditures Work and Tenant Improvement Work, if Administrative Agent determines in its reasonable discretion that the estimated costs and expenses required to complete and pay for such aggregate Capital Expenditures Work and Tenant Improvement Work exceeds the sum of (a) the projected cost reflected on any approved budgets for such work and (b) the remaining unadvanced amounts available to be advanced under the Loan, the Building Loan and the Mortgage Loan for the applicable costs, Administrative Agent shall have the right (but not the obligation) to notify Borrower in writing that, the cost of completing such Capital Expenditures Work and Tenant Improvement Work exceeds the approved budgets (the amount of any such deficiency, being herein referred to as the “
Shortfall
”). If Administrative Agent at any time shall deliver any such notice to Borrower, Borrower shall within ten (10) Business Days of delivery thereof, deposit with Mortgage Administrative Agent (with evidence of the same to Administrative Agent) an amount equal to such Shortfall. For the avoidance of doubt, a Shortfall may exist whether or not Administrative Agent delivers a notice to Borrower; provided, that Mortgage Borrower’s obligation to make a deposit with Administrative Agent is conditioned on Administrative Agent sending a notice pursuant to the terms of this Section. Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to make further Future Advances until the sums required to be deposited with Mortgage Administrative Agent have been exhausted and, in any such case, the Loan is back “in balance.”
2.6.5
Quality of Work
. No Future Advance or any portion thereof shall be made with respect to defective work or to any Person that has performed work that is defective and that has not been cured, as confirmed by the report of the Construction Consultant, if any, except to the extent that such Future Advance is for the remediation of the defective work. Additionally, Administrative Agent may disburse all or part of any Future Advance before the sum shall become due if Administrative Agent believes it advisable for Administrative Agent to do so, and all such Future Advances or parts thereof shall be deemed to have been made pursuant to this Agreement.
2.6.6
No Reliance
. All conditions and requirements of this Agreement are for the sole benefit of Administrative Agent and Lenders and no other person or party (including, without limitation, the Construction Consultant, if any, any contractor and subcontractors and materialmen) shall have the right to rely on the satisfaction of such conditions and requirements by Borrower. Administrative Agent shall have the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to waive any such condition or requirement and Borrower shall be authorized to rely on such waiver if and to the extent such waiver is in writing and signed by Administrative Agent.
2.6.7
Miscellaneous
. The making of a Future Advance by Lenders shall not constitute Administrative Agent’s approval or acceptance of the construction theretofore completed or materials furnished with respect thereto. Administrative Agent’s inspection and approval of the workmanship and materials used in any Capital Expenditures Work or Tenant
Improvement Work, shall impose no liability of any kind on Administrative Agent, the sole obligation of Administrative Agent as the result of such inspection and approval being to make the Future Advances if and to the extent, required by this Agreement.
Section 2.7
Method of Disbursement of Loan Proceeds
.
2.7.1
Borrower’s Requisition to Be Submitted to Administrative Agent

Exhibit A
(“
Borrower’s Requisition
”), with respect to a Future Advance, shall be accompanied by:
(a)
with respect to any Future Advance for Tenant Improvement Work or Capital Expenditures Work, duly executed lien waivers, which may be interim lien waivers (for payments to be made from Future Advances for work which is not yet complete) and shall be final lien waivers (for all work which has been completed), as applicable, but in all events such lien waivers may be conditioned upon the payee’s receipt of payment in the applicable amount, from all contractors for all work performed, and all labor or material supplied prior to the date of the Future Advance;
(b)
copies of all invoices, paid receipts, contracts, subcontracts, purchase orders, bills of sale and similar documentation, as applicable, related to each Future Advance so that Administrative Agent can verify all costs set forth in any such Borrower’s Requisition;
(c)
evidence reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent that the full amount of the proceeds of the (i) then last preceding Future Advance, (ii) the last preceding Future Advance (as defined in the Building Loan Agreement) and (iii) the last preceding Future Advance (as defined in Senior Loan Agreement) of the Senior Loan have been paid out in full to the Person with respect to whom such Future Advance was made and otherwise in accordance with this Agreement; and
(d)
such other information, documentation and certification as Administrative Agent shall reasonably request, including, without limitation, any documents required pursuant to
Section 2.6
above.
2.7.2
Procedure of Advances
.
(a)
Each Borrower’s Requisition shall be submitted to Administrative Agent at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the date of the requested Future Advance (the “
Requested Advance Date
”). Lenders shall make the requested Future Advance on the Requested Advance Date so long as (i) all conditions to such Future Advance are satisfied or waived, (ii) all conditions to a concurrent Future Advance (as defined in the Building Loan Agreement) are satisfied or waived and (iii) subject to
Section 2.6.2(a)(vi)
, Mortgage Lender makes its corresponding Future Advance (as defined in the Senior Loan Agreement) on the Requested Advance Date in an amount equal to Mortgage Lender’s Percentage of the costs to be paid, in part, with such Future Advance;
provided
that Borrower may revoke such Borrower’s Requisition at any time prior to the Requested Advance Date upon prior notice to Administrative Agent (subject to payment of any Breakage Costs and any
out-of-pocket costs or expenses incurred by Administrative Agent or Lenders in connection with such revocation). Borrower shall be permitted to deliver a single Borrower’s Requisition for the Loan, the Building Loan and the Senior Loan.
(b)
In no event shall any Lender be required to advance Future Advance funds in an amount less than its Pro Rata Share of the Minimum Advance Amount (except in respect of any final Future Advance).
2.7.3
Funds Advanced
. Each Future Advance made directly to Borrower shall be made by Administrative Agent by wire transfer (or other transfer) to an account designated by Borrower. All proceeds of all Future Advances shall be used by Borrower only for the purposes for which such Future Advances were made or as otherwise may be permitted or required herein.
2.7.4
Direct Future Advances to Third Parties
. At Administrative Agent’s option at any time that a monetary Default, material non-monetary Default which is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Administrative Agent may make any or all Future Advances directly or through the Title Company to (i) any contractor, (ii) the Construction Consultant to pay its reasonable fees (which shall not exceed $2,000 per draw, together with any concurrent draw made under the Mortgage Loan), if applicable, (iii) Administrative Agent’s counsel to pay the reasonable fees incurred by the same, (iv) to pay (x) any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Administrative Agent which are reimbursable by Borrower under the Loan Documents (including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and other reasonable fees and expenses incurred by Administrative Agent), provided that Borrower shall theretofore have received written notice from Administrative Agent thereof, or (y) following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, any other sums due to Administrative Agent under the Note, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, all to the extent that the same are not paid by the respective due dates thereof, and (v) any other Person to whom Administrative Agent determines payment is due. Any portion of the Loan disbursed by Administrative Agent as set forth above shall be deemed disbursed as of the date on which the Person to whom such payment is made receives the same. The execution of this Agreement by Borrower shall, and hereby does, constitute an irrevocable authorization to disburse such Future Advances constituting part of the Loan directly to any such Person or through the Title Company to such Persons subject to and in accordance with this
Section 2.7.4
as amounts become due and payable to them hereunder and any portion of the Loan so disbursed by Administrative Agent shall be deemed disbursed as of the date on which the Person to whom payment is made receives the same. No further authorization from Borrower shall be necessary to warrant such payment directly of such Future Advances to such relevant Person in accordance herewith, and all such Future Advances so made shall satisfy pro tanto the obligations of Administrative Agent hereunder and shall be secured by the Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents as fully as if made directly to Borrower.
2.7.5
Frequency of Advances
. Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to make Future Advance (Capital Expenditures) or Future Advance (TI/LCs) more often than once in each calendar month. In addition, Administrative Agent may at any time, in
Administrative Agent’s sole discretion and without request therefor from Borrower, make Future Advances to pay amounts that are due to Administrative Agent under, and in accordance with, the Loan Documents. In addition, Administrative Agent may at any time, in Administrative Agent’s sole discretion and without request therefore from Borrower, make Future Advance (Interest/Carry Shortfall) to pay amounts that are due to Administrative Agent under, and in accordance with, the Loan Documents; provided that Administrative Agent shall deliver a written notice (or other written evidence customarily used by Administrative Agent to evidence such advance) to Borrower concurrently with or promptly after such Future Advance.
2.7.6
Advances Do Not Constitute a Waiver
. No Future Advance shall constitute a waiver of any of the conditions of Administrative Agent’s obligation to make further Future Advances, nor, in the event Borrower is unable to satisfy any such condition, shall any Future Advance have the effect of precluding Administrative Agent from thereafter declaring such inability to be an Event of Default hereunder.
2.7.7
Availability of Future Advances
. Borrower shall have the right to request (which request shall be irrevocable), upon not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice and not more than ninety (90) days’ prior written notice to Administrative Agent, which notice (if any) shall be delivered with Borrower’s notice to extend the First Extension Maturity Date given in accordance with
Section 2.3.2(i)
, that Borrower’s right to request Future Advances of any unadvanced portion of the Future Funding Amount (the “
Unadvanced Amounts
”) be terminated, in which case, and upon approval from Administrative Agent, the Loan shall be permanently reduced by an amount equal to the all or a portion of the Unadvanced Amounts upon the commencement of the Second Extension Period (if any). Any portion of the Unadvanced Amounts that Borrower does not elect to terminate pursuant to this
Section 2.7.7
shall be funded into the Future Funding Reserve Account upon the commencement of the Second Extension Period (if any) to be disbursed in accordance with the terms of
Section 6.8

Section 2.8
Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders
2.8.1
Designation of a Different Lending Office
. If any Lender requests compensation under
Section 2.5
, or requires the 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 2.5
, then such Lender shall (at the request of the 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 2.5
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.
2.8.2
Replacement of Lenders
. If any Lender requests compensation under
Section 2.5
, or if the 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 2.5
and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with
Section 2.8.1
above, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse,
all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to
Section 2.5
) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment). 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 the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the terms of this
Section 2.8.2
be applicable for so long as there is only one Lender.

The Loan Documents are not subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense by any Borrower Party including the defense of usury, nor would the operation of any of the terms of the Loan Documents, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render the Loan Documents unenforceable, and no Borrower Party has asserted any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense with respect thereto.

Within ten (10) days after the execution of a Lease or any renewals, amendments or modification of a Lease, Borrower shall deliver (or cause to be delivered) to Administrative Agent a copy thereof, together with Borrower’s certification that such Lease (or such renewal, amendment or modification) was entered into in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

Proposed Major Lease
”) without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent, which consent shall not, so long as no Event of Default is continuing, be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Prior to seeking Administrative Agent’s consent to any Proposed Major Lease or amendment or modification thereto, Borrower may, at Borrower’s option, submit or cause Mortgage Borrower to submit a term sheet for a Proposed Major Lease or amendment or modification thereto to Administrative Agent for preliminary conditional approval, provided that Administrative Agent shall retain the right to disapprove any such Proposed Major Lease if subsequent to any preliminary conditional approval (or deemed preliminary conditional approval pursuant to the first paragraph of this
Section 4.1.9(b)(i)
) changes are made to the economic or material non-economic terms previously approved (or deemed approved) by Administrative Agent, or additional economic or material non-economic terms are added that had not previously been considered and approved (or deemed approved) by Administrative Agent in connection with such Proposed Major Lease. Administrative Agent has granted its preliminary conditional approval with respect to the ACS Extension Term Sheet and the Knotel LOI subject to the terms of the preceding sentence. If after ten (10) Business Days from receipt of such term sheet Administrative Agent has failed to reject the term sheet and not granted its conditional approval thereto, Borrower may resubmit, or cause Mortgage Borrower to resubmit such term sheet in writing and, if after an additional five (5) Business Days Administrative Agent has still failed to reject the
term sheet and not granted its conditional approval thereto, provided that no Event of Default is continuing, such preliminary conditional approval shall be deemed to have been granted, provided, however, that notice is submitted simultaneously with each request for preliminary conditional approval, specifically referencing this
Section 4.1.9(b)(i)
and notifying Administrative Agent in capital letters and using a 14 point font that failure to respond may result in deemed conditional approval.
(ii)
Prior to seeking Administrative Agent’s consent to any Proposed Major Lease, Borrower shall deliver, or cause Mortgage Borrower to deliver, to Administrative Agent a copy of the Proposed Major Lease blacklined to show changes from the standard form of Lease approved by Administrative Agent and then being used by Mortgage Borrower. Administrative Agent shall approve or disapprove each Proposed Major Lease within (a) in the event a term sheet with respect to such Proposed Major Lease has been preliminarily conditionally approved (or deemed preliminarily conditionally approved) by Administrative Agent pursuant to
Section 4.1.9(b)(i)
and there are material deviations from the term sheet, ten (10) Business Days of the receipt by Administrative Agent of a written request for such approval, accompanied by an executed or final draft copy of the Proposed Major Lease and (b) in the event a term sheet with respect to such Proposed Major Lease has not been preliminarily conditionally approved (or deemed preliminarily conditionally approved) by Administrative Agent pursuant to
Section 4.1.9(b)(i)
, ten (10) Business Days of the receipt by Administrative Agent of a written request for such approval, accompanied by an executed or final draft copy of the Proposed Major Lease. Provided that no Event of Default is continuing, if Administrative Agent has failed to reject Borrower’s initial request for approval and not specifically granted in writing its approval thereto as aforesaid within such ten (10) Business Day period, as the case may be, and Borrower provides Administrative Agent with an additional written request for approval (which additional written request, along with the initial request for approval, shall specifically refer to this
Section 4.1.9(b)(ii)
and shall explicitly state in capital letters and using a 14 point font that failure by Administrative Agent to approve or disapprove within five (5) Business Days may constitute a deemed approval) and Administrative Agent fails to reject or specifically approve the request in writing delivered to Borrower or Mortgage Borrower within five (5) Business Days after receipt by Administrative Agent of the additional request, the Proposed Major Lease shall be deemed approved by Administrative Agent, and Borrower shall be entitled to cause Mortgage Borrower to enter into such Proposed Major Lease or proposed renewal, extension or modification of an existing Major Lease. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Borrower shall have the right to cause Mortgage Borrower to execute Proposed Major Leases and any amendments or modifications thereto without Administrative Agent’s prior approval if the lease (or amendment, as applicable) is consistent with the term sheet approved by Administrative Agent and the lease (or amendment, as applicable) does not contain any economic or material non-economic changes to the terms previously approved (or deemed approved) by Administrative Agent.
(iii)
Notwithstanding the provisions of
Section 4.1.9(a)
and the preceding clauses (i)-(ii) of this
Section 4.1.9(b)
above, provided that no Event of Default
is continuing, renewals, assignments, subleases, amendments and modifications of existing or future Leases and the execution of proposed leases shall not be subject to the prior approval of Administrative Agent provided (i) the proposed lease would be a Minor Lease or the existing or future Lease as amended and modified (but specifically excluding amendments or modifications to Major Leases which would result in such Lease becoming a Minor Lease) or the renewal Lease is a Minor Lease, and (ii) the proposed lease shall meet the requirements of clauses (A) through (E), inclusive of
Section 4.1.9(a)
. For the avoidance of doubt, any Minor Lease that does not satisfy each of the requirements set forth in this
Section 4.1.9(b)(iii)
shall be subject to Administrative Agent’s approval, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed so long as no Event of Default is then continuing, and the deemed approval mechanism set forth in clauses (i)-(ii) of this
Section 4.1.9(b)
above shall apply in connection with the approval of any such Minor Lease.
(iv)
Borrower shall not permit Mortgage Borrower to permit or consent to any assignment or sublease of any Major Lease without Administrative Agent’s prior written approval (other than assignments or subleases expressly permitted under any Major Lease pursuant to a unilateral right of the Tenant thereunder not requiring the consent of Mortgage Borrower), which Administrative Agent shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition.
(c)
Covenants
. Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower to (i) observe and perform the obligations imposed upon the lessor under the Leases in a commercially reasonable manner; (ii) enforce the terms, covenants and conditions contained in the Leases upon the part of the Tenants thereunder to be observed or performed in a commercially reasonable manner, provided, however, Borrower shall not permit Mortgage Borrower terminate or accept a surrender of a Lease without Administrative Agent’s prior approval (except following a default by a Tenant under a Lease that is not a Major Lease and termination of such non-Major Lease will not result in a Cash Trap Period, in which case no approval shall be required so long as Borrower provides Administrative Agent with written notice of such termination); (iii) not collect any of the Rents more than one (1) month in advance (other than security deposits); (iv) shall not execute any assignment of lessor’s interest in the Leases or the Rents (except as contemplated by the Mortgage Loan Documents); and (v) not alter, modify or change any Major Lease so as to decrease the amount of or change the payment date for rent, change the expiration date, grant any option for additional space or term, materially reduce the obligations of the Tenant or increase the obligations of the lessor.

Administrative Agent’s prior approval shall also be required (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) in connection with any other alterations to any Improvements (that is, alterations which would not be covered by subsection (a) or (b) of this
Section 4.1.10
), the cost of which is reasonably anticipated to exceed the Alteration Threshold. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Administrative Agent’s prior approval shall not be required for (i) Capital Expenditures the cost of which is being funded by Lenders pursuant

Article 2
hereof or the Building Loan Agreement, or the Build Out Work (as described in (b) below), (iii) any Restoration in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, (iv) any alterations that are in accordance with the Approved Annual Budget (including the variances with respect thereto permitted by this Agreement pursuant to
Section 4.1.6(f))
, and (v) Tenant Improvements being undertaken by a Tenant pursuant to its Lease (to the extent Administrative Agent had an approval right with respect to such Lease and Administrative Agent approved (or was deemed to have approved) such Lease). If the total unpaid amounts incurred and to be incurred with respect to such alterations to the Improvements shall at any time exceed the Alteration Threshold, Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower to promptly deliver to Mortgage Administrative Agent (with evidence of same to Administrative Agent) additional security in accordance with Section 4.1.10 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement.

Section 4.1.9
hereof (any such construction and leasing, the “
Build Out Work
”), provided that (i) no more than 40,000 rentable square feet of vacant space at the Property may qualify as Build Out Space as of any particular date, (ii) shall provide for economic terms, including rental rates and net effective rental rates, that are in accordance with the Minimum Leasing Parameters, (iii) if the Build Out Costs incurred by Mortgage Borrower in connection with the Build Out Work, on an annual basis, exceeds an average of $90.00 per rentable square foot (the “
Build Out Cost Cap
”), then prior to any amounts being advanced by Administrative Agent, Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower to fund from equity an amount equal to such excess costs and (iii) the construction of all such Build Out Space shall be completed no later than the then-applicable Maturity Date (assuming that, if any such Build Out Work is to be completed following the Initial Maturity Date, Borrower has not cancelled all Unadvanced Amounts in accordance with
Section 2.7.7

Section 4.1.11
) from a Counterparty having a Minimum Counterparty Rating; provided, however, that if any Rating Agency withdraws or downgrades the credit rating of the Counterparty below the Minimum Counterparty Rating, Borrower shall not be required to replace the Counterparty under the Interest Rate Protection Agreement provided that within ten (10) Business Days following such downgrade or withdrawal, (y) such Counterparty or an Affiliate thereof posts additional collateral acceptable to Administrative Agent from time to time securing its obligations under the Interest Rate Protection Agreement and shall enter into an ISDA Credit Support Annex (CSA) governed by the law of the State of New York with respect to such additional collateral or (z) an Affiliate of such Counterparty with a Minimum Counterparty Rating delivers a guaranty acceptable to Administrative Agent guaranteeing such Counterparty’s obligations under the Interest Rate Protection Agreement

any other agreement which the Counterparty has executed and delivered pursuant thereto, and the performance of its obligations thereunder have been and remain duly authorized by all necessary action and do not contravene any provision of its certificate of incorporation or by-laws (or equivalent organizational documents) or any law, regulation or contractual restriction binding on or affecting it or its property; (iii) all consents, authorizations and approvals required for the execution and delivery by the Counterparty of the Interest Rate Protection Agreement, and any other agreement which the Counterparty has executed and delivered pursuant thereto, and the performance of its obligations thereunder have been obtained and remain in full force and effect, all conditions thereof have been duly complied with, and no other action by, and no notice to or filing with any governmental authority or regulatory body is required for such execution, delivery or performance; and (iv) the Interest Rate Protection Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Counterparty and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Counterparty, enforceable against the Counterparty in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law).

, charged by any servicer in connection with the servicing of the Loan; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be responsible for payment of any set-up fees or any other initial costs relating to or arising under such servicing agreement or any non-special servicing monthly servicing fee due to the servicer under such servicing agreement.
Section 9.4
Register
. Borrower hereby designates Administrative Agent to serve as a non-fiduciary agent of Borrower, solely for purposes of this
Section 9.4
, to maintain at one of its offices a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of each Lender, and the principal amount (and stated interest) of the Loans (or portions thereof) owing to and/or Future Advances to be funded by, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time and each repayment with respect to the principal amount of the Loan of each Lender (the “
Register
”). Failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation shall not affect Borrower’s, Administrative Agent’s or
any Lender’s obligations in respect of the Loan. Without limiting the terms and provisions of
Section 9.1
hereof, no assignment, sale, negotiation, pledge, hypothecation or other transfer of any part of any Lender’s interest in and to the Loan shall be effective until such Lender shall have provided Administrative Agent with written notice of such transfer and Administrative Agent shall have registered such assignee’s name and address in the Register. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and Borrower, Administrative Agent and each Lender 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, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. 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. Administrative Agent hereby agrees to indemnify Borrower and to hold Borrower harmless from any actions, suits, claims, demands, liabilities, losses, damages, obligations and actual costs and expenses which Borrower sustains or incurs as a consequence of Administrative Agent maintaining the Register, except to the extent such loss or expense is caused by Borrower’s fraud or willful misconduct.
(a)
Participation Registry
. Each Lender that sells a participation interest in the Loan shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Borrower, 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 the Loan or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Loan 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.
(b)
This
Section 9.4
, the Register and the Participant Register are intended to be construed so that the Note is at all times maintained in “registered form” within the meaning of Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations (or any other successor provision of such regulations).
Section 9.5
Severance Documentation
. Each Lender, without in any way limiting such Lender’s other rights hereunder, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall have the right, at any time (whether prior to or after any Secondary Market Transaction) at no cost and expense to Borrower, except as set forth in
Section 9.6
, to require Borrower to execute and deliver “component” notes and/or one or more substitute notes evidencing the portion of the Loan held by such particular Lender (and the term “
Note
” as used in this Agreement and in all the other Loan Documents shall include all such component notes and/or substitute notes but shall exclude any Note replaced by the same), and/or modify the Loan in order to create one or more senior and subordinate notes (
e.g.
, an A/B or A/B/C structure) or pari passu notes and/or one or more additional components of the Note or Notes (including the implementation of a mezzanine loan structure secured by a pledge of
direct and indirect ownership interests, which may require the creation of additional borrower entities), reduce the number of components of the Note or Notes, revise the interest rate for each component, reallocate the principal balances of the Notes and/or the components (and/or among or between the Loan and the mezzanine loan), eliminate the component structure and/or the multiple note structure of the Loan (including the elimination of the related allocations of principal and interest payments) or divide the Loan into one or more pari passu or mezzanine and mortgage component(s),
provided
that, in each case, (I) the Outstanding Principal Balance and the aggregate monthly payments required of all components immediately after the effective date of such modification equals the Outstanding Principal Balance and the aggregate monthly payments required immediately prior to such modification, the weighted average of the interest rates for all components immediately after the effective date of such modification equals the interest rate of the original Note immediately prior to such modification (it being agreed that Borrower shall not be subject to any “rate creep” in connection with this
Section 9.5
, except that prepayments or repayments of the Outstanding Principal Balance after the occurrence of an Event of Default and/or the application of Net Liquidation Proceeds After Debt Service pursuant hereto may be applied to the components of the Note sequentially, starting with the most senior component, and, as a result thereof, the weighted average interest rate payable under the Loan may change), (II) Borrower’s obligations and liabilities are not increased and Borrower’s rights are not reduced, in each case other than to a de minimis extent and (III) such modifications do not amend any other economic or material terms of the Loan in a manner that is detrimental to Borrower. Subject to
Section 9.1
, at each Lender’s election, each note comprising the Loan may be subject separately to one or more Secondary Market Transactions. Each Lender shall have the right to modify the Note and any components in accordance with this
Section 9.5
and,
provided
that such modification shall comply with the terms of this
Section 9.5
, such modification shall become immediately effective. If requested by Administrative Agent, Borrower shall promptly execute an amendment to the Loan Documents that is consistent with this
Section 9.5
to evidence any such modification. Additionally, at Administrative Agent’s request (on behalf of any Lender), Borrower shall execute such amendments to Borrower’s organizational documents as may be reasonably requested by any Lender in order to effect a re-sizing of the Loan;
provided
that any such amendment does not increase the obligations or liabilities of Borrower or decrease any rights of Borrower other than to a de minimis extent. Borrower shall (1) use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with all reasonable written requests of any Lender in order to establish the “component” notes (including any mezzanine notes), and (2) execute and deliver such documents as shall be reasonably required by Administrative Agent in connection therewith, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Borrower and Administrative Agent and the requesting Lender, including, without limitation, the severance of security documents if requested, provided, however, that Borrower shall not be required to modify or amend any Loan Document in connection with the creation of any such “component” notes, modification of the Loan or other transaction contemplated by this
Section 9.5
if, in each case such modification or amendment would (i) change the weighted interest rate effective immediately prior to such modification, the stated maturity date or the amortization of principal as set forth herein or in the Notes (it being agreed that Borrower shall not be subject to any “rate creep” in connection with this
Section 9.5
, except that prepayments or repayments of the Outstanding Principal Balance after the occurrence of an Event of Default and/or the application of Net Liquidation Proceeds After Debt Service pursuant hereto may be applied to the components of the Note sequentially, starting with the most senior component, and, as a result thereof, the weighted average interest rate payable
under the Loan may change), (ii) alter the rights or increase the obligations or liabilities of Borrower or Guarantor under the Loan Documents other than to a de minimis extent, or (iii) modify or amend any other economic or other material term of the Loan in a manner that is detrimental to Borrower. In the event Borrower fails to respond to a request to execute and deliver such documents to a Lender within ten (10) Business Days following such written request by such Lender, Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints any such Lender as its true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in its name and stead to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect such transactions, Borrower hereby ratifying all that such attorney shall do by virtue thereof. In connection with any Secondary Market Transaction, Lenders may enter into one or more agreements among themselves (each such agreement, a “
Co-Lender Agreement
”) pertaining to the distribution and application of payments and collections among the Lenders and the duties and obligations of Administrative Agent to the Lenders, including the obligations of Administrative Agent to obtain consent from the Lenders with respect to actions and decisions. In the event of any conflict between this Agreement and a Co-Lender Agreement pertaining to such matters, the Co-Lender Agreement shall control; provided that no Co-Lender Agreement shall increase any obligations or adversely affect any rights of Borrower other than to a de minimis extent. Lenders and Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to disclose any Co-Lender Agreement to Borrower, and Borrower shall not be an intended beneficiary of or otherwise entitled to enforce any Co-Lender Agreement.
Section 9.6
Secondary Market Transaction Expenses
. In connection with any Secondary Market Transaction, severance or other transaction permitted pursuant to
Sections 9.1
and/or
9.5
in each case occurring after the Closing Date, Borrower shall be responsible to pay for all cost and expenses incurred by Borrower in connection with such Secondary Market Transaction (including, without limitation, the costs and expenses of Borrower’s counsel) which, in the aggregate, do not exceed $10,000 (inclusive of any costs paid by Mortgage Borrower pursuant to Section 9.6 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement) (the “
Borrower Transaction Cost Cap
”); provided, however, Borrower shall not be responsible to reimburse Lender for Lender’s cost and expenses (including, without limitation, the costs and expenses of Lender’s counsel) which costs shall be paid by the Lender engaging in such transaction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for the avoidance of doubt, any costs and expenses incurred in connection with any severance or other transaction in connection with Administrative Agent’s exercise of remedies in accordance with
Section 10.2
, including, without limitation, the costs of any severance in accordance with
Section 10.2(e)
, shall be paid by Borrower and any such costs shall not be included for purposes of calculating the Borrower Transaction Cost Cap.

Any such actions taken by Administrative Agent 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 sole discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Administrative Agent permitted by law, equity or contract or as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if an Event of Default is continuing (i) Administrative Agent is not subject to any “one action” or “election of remedies” law or rule, and (ii) all liens and other rights, remedies or privileges provided to Administrative Agent shall remain in full force and effect until Administrative Agent has exhausted all of its remedies (including any remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code, as adopted by the State or States where any of the Collateral is located) against the Collateral and the Pledge Agreement and the Collateral has been foreclosed, sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Debt or the Debt has been paid in full.
(b)
With respect to Borrower and the Collateral, nothing contained herein or in any other Loan Document shall be construed as requiring Administrative Agent to resort to the Collateral for the satisfaction of any of the Debt in any preference or priority, and Administrative Agent may seek satisfaction out of the Collateral, or any part thereof, in its absolute discretion in respect of the Debt.
(c)
In addition to all remedies conferred it by law and by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Administrative Agent may pursue any one or more of the following remedies concurrently or successively, on its own or through a court appointed receiver, it being the intent hereof that none of such remedies shall be to the exclusion of any other, and with full rights to reimbursement from Borrower and Savanna Guarantor (without any limitation of the rights Administrative Agent or Lender may have under the Guaranties):
(i)
take possession of the Collateral and cause Mortgage Borrower to complete any construction work at the Property, including, without limitation, the right to avail itself of and procure performance of existing contracts or let any contracts with the same contractors or others and to employ watchmen to protect such Property from injury. Without restricting the generality of the foregoing and for the purposes aforesaid to be exercised during the existence and continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower hereby
appoints and constitutes Administrative Agent its lawful attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution to complete any construction work at the Property in the name of Mortgage Borrower;
(ii)
except as set forth herein, use Reserve Funds to complete any construction work at the Property;
(iii)
retain or employ new general contractors, subcontractors, architects, engineers and inspectors as shall be required for said purposes; to pay, settle or compromise all existing bills and claims which may be liens or security interests, or to avoid such bills and claims becoming liens against the Property, or as may be necessary or desirable for the completion of any construction work at the Property or for the clearance of title to such Property;
(iv)
execute all applications and certificates in the name of Borrower or Mortgage Borrower which may be required by, and in accordance with, any of the contracts or agreements;
(v)
prosecute and defend all actions or proceedings in connection with any construction work at the Property; and

Upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, Administrative Agent shall have the right from time to time to partially foreclose the Collateral in any manner and for any amounts secured by the Pledge Agreement then due and payable as determined by Administrative Agent in its sole discretion including, without limitation, the following circumstances: (i) in the event Borrower defaults beyond any applicable grace, notice and cure period in the payment of one or more scheduled payments of principal and interest, Administrative Agent may foreclose the Pledge Agreement to recover such delinquent payments, or (ii) in the event Administrative Agent elects to accelerate less than the entire Outstanding Principal Balance of the Loan, Administrative Agent may foreclose the Pledge Agreement to recover so much of the principal balance of the Loan as Administrative Agent may accelerate and such other sums secured by the Mortgage as Administrative Agent may elect. Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, the Collateral shall remain subject to the Pledge Agreement to secure payment of sums secured by the Pledge Agreement and not previously recovered.
(e)
In connection with the exercise of remedies after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Administrative Agent shall have the right from time to time to sever the Note and the other Loan Documents into one or more separate notes, pledges and other security documents (the “
Severed Loan Documents
”) in such denominations as Administrative Agent shall determine in its sole discretion for purposes of evidencing and enforcing its rights and remedies provided hereunder. Borrower shall execute and deliver to Administrative Agent from
time to time, promptly after the written request of Administrative Agent, a severance agreement and such other documents as Administrative Agent shall reasonably deem necessary in order to effect the severance described in the preceding sentence, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent. Following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, 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 the aforesaid severance, Borrower ratifying all that its said attorney shall do by virtue thereof; provided, however, Administrative Agent shall not make or execute any such documents under such power until three (3) days after notice has been given to Borrower by Administrative Agent of Administrative Agent’s intent to exercise its rights under such power. Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any costs or expenses of Borrower, Administrative Agent or any other party incurred in connection with the preparation, execution, recording or filing of the Severed Loan Documents and the Severed Loan Documents shall not contain any representations, warranties or covenants not contained in the Loan Documents and any such representations and warranties contained in the Severed Loan Documents will be given by Borrower only as of the Closing Date. The Severed Loan Documents shall not increase Borrower’s or Guarantor’s obligations or decrease Borrower’s or Guarantor’s rights under the Loan Documents other than to a de minimis extent or amend the economic terms of the Loan Documents; provided, however, prepayments or repayments of the Outstanding Principal Balance after the occurrence of an Event of Default or resulting from the application of Net Proceeds may be applied to the components of the Note sequentially, starting with the most senior component, and, as a result thereof, the weighted average interest rate payable under the Loan may change.
(f)
Any amounts recovered from the Collateral for the Loan after an Event of Default may be applied by Administrative Agent toward the payment of any interest and/or principal of the Loan and/or any other amounts due under the Loan Documents in such order, priority and proportions as Administrative Agent in its sole discretion shall determine.
Section 10.3
Right to Cure Defaults
.
Following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Administrative Agent may, but without any obligation to do so and without notice to or demand on Borrower (except as otherwise provided in any of the Loan Documents and/or required by applicable Legal Requirements) and without releasing Borrower from any obligation hereunder or being deemed to have cured any Event of Default hereunder, make, do or perform any obligation of Borrower hereunder in such manner and to such extent as Administrative Agent may deem necessary. Upon reasonable advance written notice to Borrower and subject to rights of Tenants under the Leases, and following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Administrative Agent is authorized to enter upon the Property for such purposes, or appear in, defend, or bring any action or proceeding to protect its interest in the Property for such purposes, and the cost and expense thereof (including reasonable attorneys’ fees to the extent permitted by law), with interest as provided in this
Section 10.3
, shall constitute a portion of the Debt and shall be due and payable to Administrative Agent upon demand. All such costs and expenses incurred by Administrative Agent in remedying such Event of Default or such failed payment or act or in appearing in, defending, or bringing any action or proceeding shall bear interest at the Default Rate, for the period after such
cost or expense was incurred into the date of payment to Administrative Agent. All such costs and expenses incurred by Administrative Agent together with interest thereon calculated at the Default Rate shall be deemed to constitute a portion of the Debt and be secured by the liens, claims and security interests provided to Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents and shall be promptly due and payable following written demand by Administrative Agent therefor.
Section 10.4
Remedies Cumulative
.
The rights, powers and remedies of Administrative Agent under this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which Administrative Agent may have against Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or existing at law or in equity or otherwise. Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and remedies may be pursued singly, concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Administrative Agent may determine in Administrative Agent’s sole discretion. No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing during the continuance of an Event of Default shall impair any such remedy, right or power or shall 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 with respect to Borrower shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default by Borrower or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon.

Section 11.8
Headings
.
The Article and/or Section headings and the Table of Contents in this Agreement are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purpose.
Section 11.9
Severability
.
Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, 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.
Section 11.10
Preferences
.
Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lenders shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply or reverse and reapply any and all payments by Borrower to any portion of the obligations of Borrower hereunder. To the extent Borrower makes a payment or payments to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, which payment or proceeds or any part thereof are 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 obligations hereunder 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, for the benefit of Lenders.
Section 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 the other Loan Documents specifically and expressly provide for 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 this Agreement or the other Loan Documents do not specifically and expressly provide for the giving of notice by Administrative Agent to Borrower.
Section 11.12
Claims Against Administrative Agent and Lender; Remedies of Borrower
.
Neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall be in default under this Agreement, or under any of the other Loan Documents, unless a written notice specifically setting forth the claim of Borrower shall have been given to Administrative Agent and each Lender within twelve (12) months after Borrower first had knowledge of the occurrence of the event that Borrower alleges gave rise to such claim and Administrative Agent does not remedy or cure the default, if any there be, promptly thereafter. Borrower waives any claim, set-off or defense against Administrative Agent arising by reason of any alleged default by Administrative Agent as to which Borrower does not give such notice timely as aforesaid. Borrower acknowledges that such waiver is or may be essential to Administrative Agent’s ability to enforce Administrative Agent’s remedies without delay and that such waiver therefore constitutes a substantial part of the bargain between Borrower and Administrative Agent with respect to the Loan.

Expenses; General Indemnity; ERISA Indemnity
.
(a)
Subject to
Section 9.
6 and
13.11

Article IX
); (iv) the filing and recording fees and expenses, title insurance and reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for providing to Administrative Agent and/or Lender all required legal opinions, and other similar expenses incurred, in creating and perfecting the Liens in favor of Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Lenders pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; (v) enforcing or preserving any rights, in response to third party claims or the prosecuting or defending of any action or proceeding or other litigation or otherwise, in each case against, under or affecting Borrower, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Collateral, or any other security given for the Loan; (vi) enforcing any obligations of or collecting any payments due from Borrower and Guarantor under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or with respect to the
Collateral; (vii) following the transfer of the Loan to “special servicing” after an Event of Default or written notice from Borrower or its Affiliate that an Event of Default is imminently likely to occur, any “special servicing” fees (other than as set forth in

Any costs due and payable to Administrative Agent and/or Lender may be paid to Administrative Agent and/or Lender pursuant to the Cash Management Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any of the Loan Documents, reasonable, out-of-pocket cost shall include for all purposes Administrative Agent and/or Lender’s internal costs of review, such as an appraisal reviews, cost analysis reviews, inspection reviews and environmental reviews, to the extent the same are not materially more costly than corresponding market rates for such services.

Indemnified Liabilities
”); provided, however, that Borrower shall not have any obligation to the Indemnified Parties hereunder to the extent that such Indemnified Liabilities arise from or are exacerbated by the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct of any Indemnified Party. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, defend and hold harmless set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it violates any law or public policy, Borrower shall pay the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by the Indemnified Parties.
(c)
Borrower shall, at its reasonable cost and expense, protect, defend, indemnify, release and hold harmless each Indemnified Party from and against any and all Losses imposed upon or incurred by or asserted against any Indemnified Party and directly or indirectly arising out of (i) any tax (other than Excluded Taxes) on the making and/or recording of the Mortgage, the Note or any of the other Loan Documents, or (ii) any transfer taxes (other than Excluded Taxes) incurred in connection with a foreclosure of the Mortgage by Administrative Agent or its designee (on behalf of the Lenders) and any subsequent transfer of the Property by Administrative Agent or its designee; provided, however, that Borrower shall not have any obligation to the Indemnified Parties hereunder to the extent that such Indemnified Liabilities arise from or
are exacerbated by the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct of any Indemnified Party.
(d)
Borrower shall, at its reasonable cost and expense, protect, defend, indemnify, release and hold harmless each Indemnified Party from and against any and all Losses (including, without limitation, reasonable, out of pocket attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in the investigation, defense, and settlement of Losses incurred in correcting any non-exempt prohibited transaction, and in obtaining any individual prohibited transaction exemption under ERISA that may be required, in Administrative Agent’s sole reasonable discretion) that Administrative Agent may incur, directly or indirectly, as a result of a default under
Sections 3.1.8
and/or
4.2.10
of this Agreement; provided, however, that Borrower shall not have any obligation to the Indemnified Parties hereunder to the extent that such Indemnified Liabilities arise from or are exacerbated by the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct of any Indemnified Party.
(e)

Section 11.16
No Joint Venture or Partnership; No Third-Party Beneficiaries
.
(a)
Borrower, Administrative Agent and each Lender intend that the relationships created hereunder and under the other Loan Documents be solely that of borrower and lender.

(b)
This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are solely for the benefit of Administrative Agent, each Lender and Borrower and nothing contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to confer upon anyone other than Administrative Agent, each Lender and Borrower any right to insist upon or to enforce the performance or observance of any of the obligations contained herein or therein. All conditions to the obligations of a Lender to make the Loan hereunder are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of such Lender and no other Person shall have standing to require satisfaction of such conditions in accordance with their
terms or be entitled to assume that such Lender will refuse to make the Loan in the absence of strict compliance with any or all thereof and no other Person shall under any circumstances be deemed to be a beneficiary of such conditions, any or all of which may be freely waived in whole or in part by such Lender if, in such Lender’s sole discretion, such Lender deems it advisable or desirable to do so.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives all rights to a marshalling of the assets of Borrower, Borrower’s members or partners and others with interests in Borrower, and of the Property, and shall not assert any right under any laws pertaining to the marshalling of assets, the sale in inverse order of alienation, homestead exemption, the administration of estates of decedents, or any other matters whatsoever to defeat, reduce or affect the right of Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents to a sale of the Collateral for the collection of the Debt without any prior or different resort for collection or of the right of Administrative Agent to the payment of the Debt out of the net proceeds of the Collateral in preference to every other claimant whatsoever.
Section 11.19
Waiver of Setoff

Section 11.20 Conflict; Construction of Documents; Reliance

Section 11.21
Brokers and Financial Advisors
.
Borrower hereby represents that it has dealt with no financial advisors, brokers, underwriters, placement agents, agents or finders in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 11.21
shall survive the expiration and termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Debt.
Section 11.22
Exculpation
.
Subject to the qualifications below, Administrative Agent shall not enforce the liability and obligation of Borrower to perform and observe the obligations contained in the Note, this Agreement, the Pledge Agreement or the other Loan Documents by any action or proceeding wherein a money judgment or any deficiency judgment or other judgment establishing personal liability shall be sought against any Borrower Party, 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 to enforce and realize upon its interest under the Note, this Agreement, the Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or in the Property, the Collateral, the Rents, or any other collateral given to Administrative Agent 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 Borrower only to the extent of Borrower’s interest in the Property, in the Collateral, in the Rents and in any other collateral given to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, and Administrative Agent and Lenders, by accepting the Note, this Agreement, the Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents, shall not sue for, seek or demand any deficiency judgment against Borrower or any Borrower Party, in any such action or proceeding under or by reason of or under or in connection with the Note, this Agreement, the Pledge Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

In the event any Lender fails to reply to such second request for approval from Administrative Agent within five (5) days (or sooner if such notice specifies a shorter period for responses based on Administrative Agent’s good faith determination that circumstances exist warranting its request for an earlier response), which second request shall state in bold lettering: “

.
At such time as a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender’s right to vote on matters which are subject to the consent or approval of the Requisite Lenders, each affected Lender or all Lenders shall be immediately suspended until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, except that the amount of the Commitment of the Defaulting Lender may not be increased or (except as provided herein) decreased without its consent. If a Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its Pro Rata Share of any Loan and until such time as such Defaulting Lender subsequently funds its Pro Rata Share of such Loan, all 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 of, interest on and other sums relating to the amounts funded by the other Lenders which were included in the Loans with respect to which the Defaulting Lender failed to fund its Pro Rata Shares (such principal, interest and fees being referred to as “
Senior Loans
” for the purposes of this Section). All amounts paid by Borrower and otherwise due to be applied to the obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to the terms hereof shall first be distributed by Administrative Agent to the other Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares (recalculated for the purposes hereof to exclude the Commitment of the Defaulting Lender) 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 obligation of Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The provisions of this Section shall apply and be effective regardless of whether an Event of Default occurs and is 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 the Requisite Lenders or all Lenders.
Section 13.17
Pro Rata Treatment.
Except to the extent otherwise provided herein: (a) each borrowing from Lenders shall be made from the Lenders, each payment of the fees shall be made for the account of the Lenders, and each termination or reduction of the amount of the Commitments pursuant to this Agreement shall be applied to the respective Commitments of the Lenders, pro rata according to the amounts of their respective Commitments; (b) each payment or prepayment of principal of the Loan by the Borrower shall be made for the account of the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of the Loan held by them, provided that if immediately prior to giving effect to any such payment in respect of the Loan the outstanding principal amount of the Loan shall not be held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Commitments in effect at the time
the Loan was made, then such payment shall be applied to the Loan in such manner as shall result, as nearly as is practicable, in the outstanding principal amount of the Loan being held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Commitments; and (c) each payment of interest on the Loan by the Borrower shall be made for the account of the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the amounts of interest on the Loan then due and payable to the respective Lenders.
Section 13.18
Sharing of Payments, Etc.
Lenders agree among themselves that (i) with respect to all amounts received by them which are applicable to the payment of the obligations of Borrower or Guarantor under the Loan, equitable adjustment will be made so that, in effect, all such amounts will be shared among them ratably in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares in the Loan, whether received by voluntary payment, by counterclaim or cross action or by the enforcement of any or all of such obligations, (ii) if any of them shall by voluntary payment or by the exercise of any right of counterclaim or otherwise, receive payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of such obligations held by it which is greater than its Pro Rata Share in the Loan of the payments on account of such obligations, the one receiving such excess payment shall purchase, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation (which it shall be deemed to have done simultaneously upon the receipt of such payment) in such obligations owed to the others so that all such recoveries with respect to such obligations shall be applied ratably in accordance with such Pro Rata Shares; provided, that if all or part of such excess payment received by the purchasing party is thereafter recovered from it, those purchases shall be rescinded and the purchase prices paid for such participations shall be returned to that party to the extent necessary to adjust for such recovery, but without interest except to the extent the purchasing party is required to pay interest in connection with such recovery. Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this
Section 13.18
may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of Borrower in the amount of such participation.
Section 13.19
Collateral Matters; Protective Advances.
(a)
Each Lender hereby authorizes Administrative Agent, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from any Lender, from time to time prior to a Default, to take any action with respect to any Collateral or Loan Documents which may be necessary to perfect and maintain perfected the Liens upon the Collateral granted pursuant to any of the Loan Documents.
(b)
The Lenders hereby authorize Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release any Lien granted to or held by Administrative Agent upon any Collateral (i) upon termination of the Commitments and indefeasible payment and satisfaction in full of all of obligations of Borrower hereunder; (ii) as expressly permitted by, but only in accordance with, the terms of the applicable Loan Document; and (iii) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Requisite Lenders (or such greater number of Lenders as this Agreement or any other Loan Document may expressly provide). Upon request by Administrative Agent at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing Administrative Agent’s authority to release particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section. In addition to the foregoing, the Lenders hereby authorize
Administrative Agent to take such actions and execute, file and/or deliver such documents as are contemplated in
Section 2.4
, and the Lenders agree to cooperate with Administrative Agent in connection therewith.
(c)
Upon any sale and transfer of Collateral which is expressly permitted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and upon at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written request by the Borrower, Administrative Agent shall (and is hereby irrevocably authorized by the Lenders to) execute such documents as may be necessary to evidence the release of the Liens granted to Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders herein or pursuant hereto upon the Collateral that was sold or transferred; provided, however, that (i) Administrative Agent shall not be required to execute any such document on terms which, in Administrative Agent’s opinion, would expose Administrative Agent to liability or create any obligation or entail any consequence other than the release of such Liens without recourse or warranty and (ii) such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the obligations of Borrower or any Liens upon (or obligations of the Borrower or any of its Affiliates in respect of) all interests retained by the Borrower or any of its Affiliates, including (without limitation) the proceeds of such sale or transfer, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral. In the event of any sale or transfer of Collateral, or any foreclosure with respect to any of the Collateral, Administrative Agent shall be authorized to deduct all of the expenses reasonably incurred by Administrative Agent from the proceeds of any such sale, transfer or foreclosure. The foregoing provisions of this
Section 13.19(c)
shall not be construed to diminish Administrative Agent’s obligations or Borrower’s rights under
Section 2.4.
(d)
Administrative Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to the Lenders or to any other Person to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by the Borrower or any of its Affiliates 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 Section or in any of the Loan Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission or event related thereto, Administrative Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion, given Administrative Agent’s own interest in the Collateral as one of the Lenders and that Administrative Agent shall have no duty or liability whatsoever to the Lenders, except to the extent resulting from its gross negligence or willful misconduct.
(e)
Following the occurrence of a default by Borrower, (or if Administrative Agent reasonably believes it is necessary to prevent the occurrence of a default by Borrower), Administrative Agent may make, and shall be reimbursed by the Lenders (in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares) to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower for, Protective Advances during any one calendar year with respect to any Property that is Collateral up to the sum of (i) amounts expended to pay real estate taxes, assessments and governmental charges or levies imposed upon such Property; (ii) amounts expended to pay insurance premiums for policies of insurance related to such Property; and (iii) $1,000,000. Protective Advances in excess of said sum during any calendar year for any Property that is Collateral shall require the consent of the Requisite Lenders. The Borrower agrees to pay on demand all Protective Advances.
(f)
Each Lender agrees that it will not take any action, nor institute any actions or proceedings, against Borrower or any other obligor hereunder under the Loan Documents with respect to exercising claims against or rights in the Collateral without the written consent of Requisite Lenders.
Section 13.20
Borrower Default.
(a)
Promptly after Administrative Agent or any Lender acquires actual knowledge that an Event of Default has occurred, such party shall notify the other Lenders in writing of the Event of Default. Promptly after Administrative Agent acquires actual knowledge of the occurrence of an Event of Default, Administrative Agent shall give notice of the Event of Default to Borrower and any other parties to whom notice must be provided under this Agreement. Administrative Agent shall send a copy of that default notice to all Lenders promptly after sending such notice. Neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall be deemed to have actual knowledge of the occurrence of an Event of Default unless Administrative Agent or such Lender has received written notice from a Lender or Borrower referring to this Agreement and describing the Event of Default (provided, however, that Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have actual knowledge of any Event of Default described in
Section 10.1(a)(i)(
A) or
(B
)) without receipt of a written notice from a Lender or Borrower referring to this Agreement and describing such Event of Default.
(b)
In the event that the Requisite Lenders approve or direct the commencement of a foreclosure proceeding or other exercise of remedies, to the extent not already done so, Administrative Agent shall declare the outstanding principal balance of the Loan, all interest thereon and all other amounts payable under the Loan Documents to be immediately due and payable and shall promptly commence and diligently pursue in a commercially reasonable manner such foreclosure proceeding; provided, that (i) such action is not stayed by any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding or any other injunction or court order and (ii) Administrative Agent believes in good faith that such action will not expose Administrative Agent to any liability from any party, including, without limitation, Borrower or any Lender. If, after commencing such foreclosure proceeding, Administrative Agent is directed to cease such action or to take another course of action by the Requisite Lenders under the terms of this Agreement, Administrative Agent shall follow such direction.
(c)
In the event that the Requisite Lenders have not approved the commencement of a foreclosure proceeding or other exercise of remedies within the initial one hundred eighty (180) days following the occurrence of an Event of Default, Administrative Agent shall have the right, without the consent of the Requisite Lenders to commence a foreclosure proceeding or other exercise of remedies in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion.
Section 13.21
Post-Foreclosure Plans
.
If all or any portion of the Collateral is acquired by Administrative Agent 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 of Borrower hereunder, the title to any such Collateral, or any portion thereof, shall be held in the name of Administrative Agent or a nominee or subsidiary of Administrative Agent, as agent, for the ratable benefit of all Lenders. Administrative Agent shall prepare a recommended course of action for such Collateral (a “
Post-Foreclosure Plan
”), which shall be subject to the approval of the Requisite Lenders. In accordance with the approved Post-Foreclosure Plan, Administrative Agent shall manage, operate, repair, administer, complete, construct, restore or otherwise deal with the Collateral acquired, and shall administer all transactions relating thereto, including, without limitation, employing a management agent, leasing agent and other agents, contractors and employees, including agents for the sale of such Collateral, and the collecting of rents and other sums from such Collateral and paying the expenses of such Collateral. Actions taken by Administrative Agent with respect to the Collateral, which are not specifically provided for in the approved Post-Foreclosure Plan or reasonably incidental thereto, shall require the written consent of the Requisite Lenders by way of supplement to such Post-Foreclosure Plan. Upon demand therefor from time to time, each Lender will contribute its share (based on its Pro Rata Share) of all reasonable 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 such Collateral. In addition, Administrative Agent shall render or cause to be rendered to each Lender, on a monthly basis, an income and expense statement for such Collateral, and each Lender shall promptly contribute its Pro Rata Share of any operating loss for such Collateral, 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. To the extent there is net operating income from such Collateral, Administrative Agent shall, in accordance with the approved Post-Foreclosure Plan, determine the amount and timing of distributions to the Lenders. All such distributions shall be made to the Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares. The Lenders acknowledge and agree that if title to any Collateral is obtained by Administrative Agent or its nominee, such Collateral will not be held as a permanent investment but will be liquidated as soon as practicable. Administrative Agent shall undertake to sell such Collateral, at such price and upon such terms and conditions as the Requisite 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 such Collateral in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence shall name Administrative Agent, as agent for the Lenders, as the beneficiary or mortgagee. In such case, Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall enter into an agreement with respect to such purchase money mortgage or deed of trust defining the rights of the Lenders in the same Pro Rata Shares as provided hereunder, which agreement shall be in all material respects similar to this Article insofar as the same is appropriate or applicable.
Section 13.22
Terminology
.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in
Articles 1
through
12
, “Lender” shall mean “Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders” or “Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders”, as the context may require.
XIV.
MORTGAGE LOAN
Section 14.1 Compliance With Mortgage Loan Documents
. Borrower shall (or shall cause Mortgage Borrower to): (a) pay all principal, interest and other sums required to be paid by Mortgage Borrower under and pursuant to the provisions of the Mortgage Loan Documents; (b) diligently perform and observe all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Mortgage Loan Documents on the part of Mortgage Borrower to be performed and observed, unless such performance or observance shall be waived in writing by Mortgage Lender; (c) promptly notify Lender of the giving of any notice by Mortgage Lender to Mortgage Borrower or Borrower of any default by Mortgage Borrower in the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of the Mortgage Loan Documents on the part of Mortgage Borrower to be performed or observed and deliver to Lender a true copy of each such notice; (d) deliver a true, correct and complete copy of all notices, demands, requests or material correspondence (including electronically transmitted items) given or received by Mortgage Borrower or Guarantor to or from the Mortgage Lender or its agent; and (e) not enter into or be bound by any Mortgage Loan Documents that are not approved by Lender (it being acknowledged and agreed that all Mortgage Loan Documents entered into on the date hereof are approved by Lender). Without limiting the foregoing, Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower to fund all reserves required to be funded pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Documents. In the event of a refinancing of the Mortgage Loan permitted by the terms of this Agreement, Borrower will cause all reserves on deposit with Mortgage Lender to be utilized by Mortgage Borrower to reduce the amount due and payable to the Mortgage Lender or alternatively shall be remitted to Lender as a mandatory prepayment of the Loan.
Section 14.2 Mortgage Loan Defaults.
(a) Without limiting the generality of the other provisions of this Agreement, and without waiving or releasing Borrower from any of its obligations hereunder, if there shall occur any Event of Default under the Mortgage Loan Documents, Borrower hereby expressly agrees that Lender shall have the immediate right, without prior notice to Borrower, but shall be under no obligation: (x) to pay all or any part of the Mortgage Loan and any other sums that are then due and payable, and to perform any act or take any action on behalf of Borrower and/or Mortgage Borrower as may be appropriate, to cause all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Mortgage Loan Documents on the part of Mortgage Borrower to be performed or observed thereunder to be promptly performed or observed; and (y) to pay any other amounts and take any other action as Lender, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall deem reasonably necessary to protect or preserve the rights and interests of Lender in the Loan and/or the Collateral. All sums so paid and the out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Lender in exercising rights under this Section 14.2 (including attorneys’ fees) (i) shall constitute additional advances of the Loan to Borrower, (ii) shall increase the then unpaid principal, (iii) shall bear interest at the Default Rate for the period from the date that such costs or expenses were incurred to the date of payment to Lender, (iv) shall constitute a portion of the Debt, and (v) shall be secured by the Security Documents.
(b) Borrower hereby indemnifies Lender from and against all actual out-of-pocket liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, assessments, actions, or causes of action, judgments, suits, claims, demands, costs, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ and other
professional fees, whether or not suit is brought, and settlement costs) and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Lender as a result of the foregoing actions. Lender shall have no obligation to Borrower, Mortgage Borrower or any other party to make any such payment or performance. Borrower shall not impede, interfere with, hinder or delay, and shall not permit Mortgage Borrower to impede, interfere with, hinder or delay, any effort or action on the part of Lender to cure any default or asserted default under the Mortgage Loan, or to otherwise protect or preserve Lender’s interests in the Loan and the Collateral following a default or asserted default under the Mortgage Loan unless such actions are defenses and counterclaims raised in good faith.
(c) Any default or breach by Mortgage Borrower under the Mortgage Loan Documents which is not cured prior to the expiration of any applicable grace, notice or cure period afforded to Mortgage Borrower under the Mortgage Loan Documents shall constitute an Event of Default, without regard to any subsequent payment or performance of any such obligations by Lender. Borrower hereby grant Lender and any person designated by Lender the right, subject to the rights of tenants, to enter upon any Property at any time following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, or the assertion by Mortgage Lender that an Event of Default has occurred under the Mortgage Loan Documents, for the purpose of taking any such action or to appear in, defend or bring any action or proceeding to protect Borrower’s, Mortgage Borrower’s and/or Lender’s interest. Lender may take such action as Lender deems reasonably necessary or desirable to carry out the intents and purposes of this subsection (including communicating with Mortgage Lender with respect to any “Event of Default” under the Mortgage Loan), without prior notice to, or consent from, Borrower. Lender shall have no obligation to complete any cure or attempted cure undertaken or commenced by Lender.
(d) If Lender shall receive a copy of any notice of default under the Mortgage Loan Documents sent by Mortgage Lender to Mortgage Borrower, 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. As a material inducement to Lender’s making the Loan, Borrower hereby absolutely and unconditionally release and waive all claims against Lender arising out of Lender’s exercise of its rights and remedies provided in this Section 14.2, except for Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. In the event that Lender makes any payment in respect of the Mortgage Loan, Lender shall be subrogated to all of the rights of Mortgage Lender under the Mortgage Loan Documents against any Property, in addition to all other rights it may have under the Loan Documents.
Section 14.3 Mortgage Loan Estoppels
. Borrower shall (or shall cause Mortgage Borrower to), from time to time, but not more than once per year (except if an Event of Default exists), use reasonable efforts to obtain from Mortgage Lender s certificate of estoppel with respect to compliance by Mortgage Borrower with the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents as may be reasonably requested by Lender. In the event or to the extent that Mortgage Lender is not legally obligated to deliver such certificates of estoppel and is unwilling to deliver the same, or is legally obligated to deliver such certificates of estoppel but breaches such obligation, then Borrower shall not be in breach of this provision so long as Borrower furnishes to Lender an estoppel executed by Borrower and Mortgage Borrower expressly representing to Lender the information reasonably requested by Lender regarding compliance by Mortgage Borrower with the terms of the Mortgage
Loan Documents. Borrower hereby indemnifies Lender from and against all Losses which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against Lender based on any material intentional misrepresentation relating to the Mortgage Loan which was misrepresented in such estoppel executed by Borrower and Mortgage Borrower.
Section 14.4 No Amendment to Mortgage Loan Documents
. Without obtaining the prior written consent of Administrative Agent, Borrower shall not cause or permit Mortgage Borrower to (i) enter into any amendment or modification of any of the Mortgage Loan Documents, (ii) grant to Mortgage Lender any consent or waiver or (iii) exercise any remedy available to Mortgage Borrower under the Mortgage Loan Documents. Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower to provide Lender with a copy of any amendment or modification to the Mortgage Loan Documents within five (5) days after the execution thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall not be required to obtain Administrative Agent’s consent in connection with (i) the entering into and the recording (if applicable) of the Building Loan Agreement, the Building Loan Documents and/or any Serial Mortgages (as defined in the Mortgage Loan Agreement) in accordance with Sections 2.6.2(m) and (n) of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, and (ii) the amendment of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, in each case in accordance with Section 2.6.2(n) of the Mortgage Loan Agreement.
Section 14.5 Deed in Lieu of Foreclosure.
Without the express prior written consent of Administrative Agent, Borrower shall not, and Borrower shall not cause, suffer or permit Mortgage Borrower to, enter into any deed-in-lieu or consensual foreclosure with or for the benefit of Mortgage Lender or any of its affiliates. Without the express prior written consent of Administrative Agent, Borrower shall not, and Borrower shall not cause, suffer or permit Mortgage Borrower to, enter into any consensual sale or other transaction in connection with the Mortgage Loan which could diminish, modify, terminate, impair or otherwise adversely affect the interests of Lender or Borrower, the Collateral or any portion thereof or any interest therein or of Mortgage Borrower in the Property owned by such Mortgage Borrower or portion thereof or any interest therein.
Section 14.6 Refinancing or Prepayment of the Mortgage Loan.
Other than mandatory prepayments under the Mortgage Loan Documents, neither Borrower nor Mortgage Borrower shall make any partial or full prepayments of amounts owing under the Mortgage Loan or refinance the Mortgage Loan without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent, unless such refinancing results in the concurrent payment in full of the Debt.
Section 14.7 Independent Approval Rights
. If any action, proposed action or other decision is consented to or approved by Mortgage Lender, such consent or approval shall not be binding or controlling on Lender. Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that (i) the risks of Mortgage Lender in making the Mortgage Loan are different from the risks of Lender in making the Loan, (ii) in determining whether to grant, deny, withhold or condition any requested consent or approval, Mortgage Lender and Lender may reasonably reach different conclusions, and (iii) Lender has an absolute independent right to grant, deny, withhold or condition any requested consent or approval based on its own point of view, but subject to the standards of consent set forth herein. Furthermore, the denial by Lender of a requested consent or approval shall not create any liability or other obligation of Lender if the denial of such consent or approval results directly or indirectly in a Mortgage Loan Event of Default, and Borrower hereby waives any claim of liability against Lender
arising from any such denial unless Lender has not complied with any applicable standard for consent

Borrower shall pay all of Mortgagee’s reasonable attorney’s fees and disbursements incurred in connection with the aforesaid documentation;
AND Borrower represents and warrants to and covenants and agrees with Mortgagee as follows:
PART I - GENERAL PROVISIONS
1.
Payment of Debt and Incorporation of Covenants, Conditions and Agreements
.
Borrower shall pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided in the Loan Documents. All the covenants, conditions and agreements contained in the Loan Documents are
hereby made a part of this Security Instrument to the same extent and with the same force as if fully set forth herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower (i) agrees to insure, repair, maintain and restore damage to the Property, pay Taxes and Other Charges, and comply with Legal Requirements, in accordance with the Loan Agreement, and (ii) agrees that the Insurance Proceeds and Awards for Condemnation shall be settled, held and applied in accordance with the Loan Agreement. In the event of any conflict between this Security Instrument and the Loan Agreement, the terms of the Loan Agreement shall govern.
2.
Leases and Rents
.
(a)
Borrower does hereby absolutely and unconditionally assign to Mortgagee all of Borrower’s right, title and interest in all current and future Leases and Rents, it being intended by Borrower that this assignment constitutes a present, absolute assignment and not an assignment for additional security only. Such assignment shall not be construed to bind Mortgagee to the performance of any of the covenants or provisions contained in any Lease or otherwise impose any obligation upon Mortgagee. Nevertheless, subject to the terms of this paragraph, Mortgagee grants to Borrower a revocable license to operate and manage the Property and to collect, receive, use and enjoy the Rents subject to the requirements of the Loan Agreement (including the deposit of Rents into the Clearing Account). Upon an Event of Default, without the need for notice or demand, the license granted to Borrower herein shall automatically be revoked, and Lender shall immediately be entitled to possession of all Rents in the Clearing Account, the Deposit Account (including all Subaccounts thereof) and all Rents collected thereafter (including Rents past due and unpaid), whether or not Mortgagee enters upon or takes control of the Property,
provided
, that such revocation shall only be effective while an Event of Default is continuing. Borrower hereby grants and assigns to Lender the right, at its option, upon revocation of the license granted herein, to enter upon the Property in person, by agent or by court‑appointed receiver to collect the Rents, subject to the rights of tenants under Leases. Any Rents collected after the revocation of such license may be applied toward payment of the Debt in such priority and proportions as Mortgagee in its sole discretion shall deem proper.
(b)
Borrower shall not enter into, modify, amend, cancel, terminate or renew any Lease except as provided in
Section 4.1.9
of the Loan Agreement.
3.
Use of Property
.
Borrower shall not initiate, join in, acquiesce in or consent to any change in any private restrictive covenant, zoning law or other public or private restriction, limiting or defining the uses which may be made of the Property in violation of the Loan Agreement. If under applicable zoning provisions the use of the Property is or shall become a nonconforming use, Borrower shall not cause or permit such nonconforming use to be discontinued or abandoned without the consent of Mortgagee, in violation of the Loan Agreement. Borrower shall not (i) change the use of the Property, (ii) permit or suffer to occur any waste on or to the Property or (iii) take any steps to convert the Property to a condominium or cooperative form of ownership without the prior written consent of Mortgagee., in violation of the Loan Agreement
4.
Transfer or Encumbrance of the Property
.
(a)
Borrower acknowledges that (i) Mortgagee has examined and relied on the creditworthiness and experience of the principals of Borrower in owning and operating properties such as the Property in agreeing to make the Loan, (ii) Mortgagee will continue to rely on Borrower’s ownership of the Property as a means of maintaining the value of the Property as security for the Debt, and (iii) Mortgagee has a valid interest in maintaining the value of the Property so as to ensure that, should Borrower default in the repayment of the Debt, Mortgagee can recover the Debt (pursuant to the Loan Agreement) by a sale of the Property. Borrower shall not sell, convey, alienate, mortgage, encumber, pledge or otherwise transfer the Property or any part thereof, or suffer or permit any Transfer to occur, other than a Permitted Transfer, without the prior written consent of Mortgagee. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, this Security Instrument shall not constitute a modification of any other provisions in any other Loan Documents which prohibit, limit or restrict the right of Borrower to transfer the Property or the right of any party to transfer any interest, directly or indirectly, in Borrower.
(b)
Mortgagee shall not be required to demonstrate any actual impairment of its security or any increased risk of default hereunder in order to declare the Debt immediately due and payable upon a Transfer in violation of this Paragraph 4. This provision shall apply to every sale, conveyance, alienation, mortgage, encumbrance, pledge or transfer of the Property (and every other Transfer) in violation of this Paragraph 4 regardless of whether voluntary or not. Any Transfer made in contravention of this Paragraph 4 shall be null and void and of no force and effect. Borrower agrees to bear and shall pay or reimburse Mortgagee on demand for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable out of pocket attorneys’ fees and disbursements, title search costs and title insurance endorsement premiums) incurred by Mortgagee in connection with the review, approval and documentation of any Permitted Transfer.
5.
Changes in Laws Regarding Taxation
.
If any law is enacted or adopted or amended after the date of this Security Instrument which deducts the Debt from the value of the Property for the purpose of taxation or which imposes a tax, either directly or indirectly, on the Debt or Mortgagee’s interest in the Property, Borrower will, upon written demand by Mortgagee
,
pay such tax, with interest and penalties thereon, if any. If Mortgagee is advised by its counsel that the payment of such tax or interest and penalties by Borrower would be unlawful, taxable to Mortgagee or unenforceable, or would provide the basis for a defense of usury, then Mortgagee shall have the option, by written notice of not less than 120 days, to declare the Debt immediately due and payable without premium or penalty. Borrower shall pay no premium or penalty, including, without limitation, any prepayment premium, if Lender shall declare the Debt immediately due and payable pursuant to the terms of this Section 5.
6.
No Credits on Account of the Debt
.
Borrower shall not claim or demand or be entitled to any credit on account of the Debt for any part of the Taxes or Other Charges assessed against the Property, and no deduction shall otherwise be made or claimed from the assessed value of the Property for real estate tax purposes by reason of this Security Instrument or the Debt, if such credit or deduction would increase the amount of Taxes or Other Charges required to be paid by Mortgagee. If such claim, credit or deduction shall be required by law, Mortgagee shall have the
option, by written notice of not less than 120 days, to declare the Debt immediately due and payable, without any premium or penalty. Borrower shall pay no premium or penalty, including, without limitation, any prepayment premium, if Lender shall declare the Debt immediately due and payable pursuant to the terms of this Section 6.
7.
Further Acts, Etc
.
Borrower shall, at its sole cost, do execute, acknowledge and deliver all and every such further acts, deeds, conveyances, mortgages, assignments, notices of assignment, transfers and assurances as Mortgagee shall, from time to time, reasonably require, for the better assuring, conveying, assigning, transferring, and confirming unto Mortgagee the property and rights hereby mortgaged, given, granted, bargained, sold, alienated, enfeoffed, conveyed, confirmed, pledged, assigned and hypothecated or intended now or hereafter so to be, or which Borrower may be or may hereafter become bound to convey or assign to Mortgagee, or for carrying out the intention or facilitating the performance of the terms of this Security Instrument, or for filing, registering or recording this Security Instrument (but in no event will Borrower be required to incur, suffer or accept (except to a de mimimis extent) any lesser rights or greater obligations than as currently set forth in the Loan Documents). Upon foreclosure, the appointment of a receiver or any other relevant action, Borrower shall, at its sole cost, cooperate fully and completely to effect the assignment or transfer of any license, permit, agreement or any other right necessary or useful to the operation of the Property. Borrower grants to Mortgagee an irrevocable power of attorney coupled with an interest, which shall be exercisable upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, for the purpose of exercising and perfecting any and all rights and remedies available to Mortgagee at law and in equity, including such rights and remedies available to Mortgagee pursuant to this paragraph.
8.
Recording of Security Instrument, Etc
.
Borrower forthwith upon the execution and delivery of this Security Instrument and thereafter, from time to time, shall cause this Security Instrument, and any security instrument creating a lien or security interest or evidencing the lien hereof upon the Property and each instrument of further assurance to be filed, registered or recorded in such manner and in such places as may be required by any present or future law in order to publish notice of and fully to protect the lien or security interest hereof upon, and the interest of Mortgagee in, the Property. Borrower shall pay all filing, registration or recording fees, all expenses incident to the preparation, execution and acknowledgment of and all federal, state, county and municipal, taxes, duties, imposts, documentary stamps, assessments and charges arising out of or in connection with the execution and delivery of, this Security Instrument, any Security Instrument supplemental hereto, any other security instrument with respect to the Property or any instrument of further assurance, except where prohibited by law so to do. Borrower shall hold harmless and indemnify Mortgagee, its successors and assigns, against any liability incurred by reason of the imposition under applicable Legal Requirements of any tax on the making or recording of this Security Instrument.
9.
Right to Cure Defaults
.
Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Mortgagee may, but without any obligation to do so and without notice to or demand on Borrower and without releasing Borrower from any obligation hereunder, perform the obligations that gave rise to the Event of Default in such manner and to such extent as Mortgagee may deem necessary to protect the security hereof. Subject to the rights of Tenants under Leases, Mortgagee is authorized to enter upon the Property for such purposes or appear in, defend or bring
any action or proceeding to protect its interest in the Property or to foreclose this Security Instrument or collect the Debt, and the out-of-pocket cost and expense thereof (including reasonable out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees and disbursements to the extent permitted by law), with interest thereon at the Default Rate for the period after written notice from Mortgagee that such out-of-pocket cost or expense was incurred and continuing until the date of payment to Mortgagee, shall constitute a portion of the Debt, shall be secured by this Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents and shall be due and payable to Mortgagee promptly following written demand to Borrower therefor.

Remedies

recover judgment on the Note either before, during or after any proceeding for the enforcement of this Security Instrument;

apply for the appointment of a trustee, receiver, liquidator or conservator of the Property, without notice and without regard for the adequacy

(viii)
subject to the terms of this Security Instrument and the Assignment of Leases enforce Mortgagee’s interest in the Leases and Rents and enter into or upon the Property, subject to rights of tenants under Leases, either personally or by its agents, nominees or attorneys and dispossess Borrower and its agents and employees therefrom, and thereupon Mortgagee may (A) use, operate, manage, control, insure, maintain, repair, restore and otherwise deal with the Property and conduct the business thereat; (B) complete any construction on the Property in such manner and form as Mortgagee deems advisable; (C) make alterations, additions, renewals, replacements and improvements to or on the Property; (D) exercise all rights and powers of Borrower with respect to the Property, whether in the name of Borrower or otherwise, including the right to make, cancel, enforce or modify Leases, obtain and evict tenants, and demand, sue for, collect and receive Rents; and (E) apply the receipts from the Property to the payment of the Debt, after deducting therefrom all out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred in connection with the aforesaid operations and all amounts necessary to pay the Taxes, insurance and other charges in connection with the Property, as well as just and reasonable compensation for the services of Mortgagee, and its counsel, agents and employees; in each case, in accordance with the standards applicable to Lender under the Loan Documents;
(ix)
require Borrower to pay monthly in advance to Lender, or any receiver appointed to collect the Rents, the fair and reasonable rental value for the use and occupation of any portion of the Property occupied by Borrower, and require Borrower to vacate and surrender possession of the Property to Lender or to such receiver, and, in default thereof, evict Borrower by summary proceedings or otherwise; or
(x)
pursue such other rights and remedies as may be available at law or in equity or under the UCC, including the right to receive and/or establish a lock box for all Rents and proceeds from the Intangibles and any other receivables or rights to payments of Borrower relating to the Property.
In the event of a sale, by foreclosure or otherwise, of less than all of the Property, this Security Instrument shall continue as a lien on the remaining portion of the Property.
(b)
Subject to the provisions of the Loan Agreement, the proceeds of any sale made under or by virtue of this Paragraph 10, together with any other sums which then may be held by Mortgagee under this Security Instrument, whether under the provisions of this paragraph or otherwise, shall be applied by Mortgagee to the payment of the Debt in such priority and proportion as Mortgagee in its sole discretion shall deem proper.
(c)
Mortgagee may adjourn from time to time any sale by it to be made under or by virtue of this Security Instrument by announcement at the time and place appointed for such sale or for such adjourned sale or sales; and, except as otherwise provided by any applicable law, Mortgagee, without further notice or publication, may make such sale at the time and place to which the same shall be so adjourned.
(d)
Upon the completion of any sale or sales pursuant hereto, Mortgagee, or an officer of any court empowered to do so, shall execute and deliver to the accepted purchaser or purchasers a good and sufficient instrument, or good and sufficient instruments, conveying, assigning and transferring all estate, right, title and interest in and to the property and rights sold. Mortgagee is hereby irrevocably appointed the true and lawful attorney of Borrower (for exercise only upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default), in its name and stead, to make all necessary conveyances, assignments, transfers and deliveries of the Property and rights so sold and for that purpose Mortgagee may execute all necessary instruments of conveyance, assignment and transfer, and may substitute one or more persons with like power, Borrower hereby ratifying and confirming all that its said attorney or such substitute or substitutes shall lawfully do by virtue hereof. Any sale or sales made under or by virtue of this Paragraph 10, whether made under the power of sale herein granted or under or by virtue of judicial proceedings or of a judgment or decree of foreclosure and sale, shall operate to divest all the estate, right, title, interest, claim and demand whatsoever, whether at law or in equity, of Borrower in and to the properties and rights so sold, and shall be a perpetual bar both at law and in equity against Borrower and against any and all persons claiming or who may claim the same, or any part thereof, from, through or under Borrower.
(e)
Upon any sale made under or by virtue of this Paragraph 10, whether made under a power of sale or under or by virtue of judicial proceedings or of a judgment or decree of foreclosure and sale, Mortgagee may bid for and acquire the Property or any part thereof and in lieu of paying cash therefor may make settlement for the purchase price by crediting upon the Debt the net sales price after deducting therefrom the out-of-pocket expenses of the sale and costs of the action and any other sums which Mortgagee is authorized to deduct under this Security Instrument or any other Loan Document.
(f)
No recovery of any judgment by Mortgagee and no levy of an execution under any judgment upon the Property or upon any other property of Borrower shall affect in any manner or to any extent the lien of this Security Instrument upon the Property or any part thereof, or any liens, rights, powers or remedies of Mortgagee hereunder, but such liens, rights, powers and remedies of Mortgagee shall continue unimpaired as before.
(g)
Mortgagee may terminate or rescind any proceeding or other action brought in connection with its exercise of the remedies provided in this Paragraph 10 at any time before the conclusion thereof, as determined in Mortgagee’s sole discretion and without prejudice to Mortgagee.
(h)
Mortgagee may resort to any remedies and the security given by this Security Instrument or in any other Loan Document in whole or in part, and in such portions and in such order as determined by Mortgagee’s sole discretion. No such action shall in any way be considered a waiver of any rights, benefits or remedies evidenced or provided by any Loan Document. The failure of Mortgagee to exercise any right, remedy or option provided in any Loan Document shall not be deemed a waiver of such right, remedy or option or of any covenant or obligation secured by any Loan Document. No acceptance by Mortgagee of any payment after the occurrence of any Event of Default and no payment by Mortgagee of any obligation for which Borrower is liable hereunder shall be deemed to waive or cure any Event of Default, or Borrower’s
liability to pay such obligation. No sale of all or any portion of the Property, no forbearance on the part of Mortgagee, and no extension of time for the payment of the whole or any portion of the Debt or any other indulgence given by Mortgagee to Borrower, shall operate to release or in any manner affect the interest of Mortgagee in the remaining Property or the liability of Borrower to pay the Debt. No waiver by Mortgagee shall be effective unless it is in writing and then only to the extent specifically stated. All costs and expenses of Mortgagee in exercising its rights and remedies under this Paragraph 10 (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements to the extent permitted by law), shall be paid by Borrower immediately upon notice from Mortgagee, with interest at the Default Rate for the period after notice from Mortgagee, and such costs and expenses shall constitute a portion of the Debt and shall be secured by this Security Instrument.
(i)
The interests and rights of Mortgagee under the Loan Documents shall not be impaired by any indulgence, including (i) any renewal, extension or modification which Lender may grant with respect to any of the Debt, (ii) any surrender, compromise, release, renewal, extension, exchange or substitution which Mortgagee may grant with respect to the Property or any portion thereof or (iii) any release or indulgence granted to any maker, endorser, guarantor or surety of any of the Debt.
11.
Right of Entry
.
In addition to any other rights or remedies granted under this Security Instrument, Mortgagee and its agents shall have the right to enter and inspect the Property at any reasonable time during business hours throughout the term of this Security Instrument, subject to the rights of tenants under Leases. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the cost of any inspections or audits shall be borne by Borrower, including the actual cost of all follow up or additional investigations or inquiries deemed reasonably necessary by Mortgagee. The cost of such inspections, if not paid for by Borrower within ten (10) Business Days following written demand, may be added to the principal balance of the sums due under the Note and this Security Instrument and shall bear interest thereafter until paid at the Default Rate.
12.
Security Agreement
.
This Security Instrument is both a real property Security Instrument and a “security agreement” within the meaning of the UCC. The Property includes both real and personal property and all other rights and interests, whether tangible or intangible in nature, of Borrower in the Property. Borrower by executing and delivering this Security Instrument has granted and hereby grants to Mortgagee, as security for the Debt, a security interest in the Property to the full extent that the Property may be subject to the UCC (such portion of the Property so subject to the UCC being called in this paragraph the “
Collateral
”). This Security Instrument shall also constitute a “fixture filing” for the purposes of the UCC. As such, this Security Instrument covers all items of the Collateral that are or are to become fixtures. Information concerning the security interest herein granted may be obtained from the parties at the addresses of the parties set forth in the first paragraph of this Security Instrument. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, Mortgagee, in addition to any other rights and remedies which it may have, shall have and may exercise immediately and without demand, any and all rights and remedies granted to a secured party upon default under the UCC, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the right to take possession of the Collateral or any part thereof, and to take such other measures as Mortgagee may deem necessary for the care, protection and preservation of the Collateral. During the continuance of an Event of Default, upon request or demand of Mortgagee,
Borrower shall at its expense assemble the Collateral and make it available to Mortgagee at a convenient place in New York reasonably acceptable to Mortgagee. Borrower shall pay to Mortgagee within five (5) Business Days of promptly following written demand any and all expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, incurred or paid by Mortgagee in protecting the interest in the Collateral and in enforcing the rights hereunder with respect to the Collateral
(but excluding special, punitive, or consequential damages, unless asserted against Borrower by a third party)
. Any notice of sale, disposition or other intended action by Mortgagee with respect to the Collateral, sent to Borrower in accordance with the provisions hereof at least ten (10) Business Days prior to such action, shall constitute commercially reasonable notice to Borrower. The proceeds of any disposition of the Collateral, or any part thereof, may be applied by Mortgagee to the payment of the Debt in such priority and proportions as Mortgagee in its sole discretion shall deem proper. In the event of any change in name, identity or structure of Borrower, Borrower shall notify Mortgagee thereof and promptly after request shall execute, file and record such UCC forms as are necessary to maintain the priority of Mortgagee’s lien upon and security interest in the Collateral, and shall pay all expenses and fees in connection with the filing and recording thereof. If Mortgagee shall require the filing or recording of additional UCC forms or continuation statements, Borrower shall, promptly after request, execute, file and record such UCC forms or continuation statements as Mortgagee reasonably shall deem necessary, and shall pay all expenses and fees in connection with the filing and recording thereof, it being understood and agreed, however, that no such additional documents shall increase Borrower’s obligations or decrease Borrower’s rights under the Loan Documents. Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Mortgagee as its attorney‑in‑fact, coupled with an interest, to file with the appropriate public office on its behalf any financing or other statements naming Mortgagee, as secured party, and Borrower, as debtor, in connection with the Collateral covered by this Security Instrument.
13.
Actions and Proceedings
.
Following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Mortgagee has the right to appear in and defend any action or proceeding brought with respect to the Property and to bring any action or proceeding, in the name and on behalf of Borrower, which Mortgagee, in its sole discretion, decides should be brought to protect its or their interest in the Property. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Mortgagee shall, at its option, be subrogated to the lien of any mortgage or other security instrument discharged in whole or in part by the Debt, and any such subrogation rights shall constitute additional security for the payment of the Debt.
14.
Marshalling and Other Matters
.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, Borrower hereby waives, to the extent permitted by law, the benefit of all appraisement, valuation, stay, extension, reinstatement and redemption laws now or hereafter in force and all rights of marshalling in the event of any sale hereunder of the Property or any part thereof or any interest therein. Further, to the extent permitted by applicable law, Borrower hereby expressly waives any and all rights of redemption from sale under any order or decree of foreclosure of this Security Instrument on behalf of Borrower, and on behalf of each and every person acquiring any interest in or title to the Property subsequent to the date of this Security Instrument and on behalf of all persons to the extent permitted by applicable law. The lien of this Security Instrument shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not in any manner be affected or impaired by any acts or omissions whatsoever of Mortgagee and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the lien hereof shall not be impaired by (i) any acceptance by Mortgagee of any other security for any portion
of the Debt, (ii) any failure, neglect or omission on the part of Mortgagee to realize upon or protect any portion of the Debt or any collateral security therefor or (iii) any release (except as to the property released), sale, pledge, surrender, compromise, settlement, renewal, extension, indulgence, alteration, changing, modification or disposition of any portion of the Debt or of any of the collateral security therefor; and Mortgagee may foreclose, or exercise any other remedy available to Mortgagee under other Loan Documents without first exercising or enforcing any of its remedies under this Security Instrument, and any exercise of the rights and remedies of Mortgagee hereunder shall not in any manner impair the Debt or the liens of any other Loan Document or any of Mortgagee’s rights and remedies thereunder.
15.
Notices

All notices, consents, approvals and requests required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing, and shall be sent, and shall be deemed effective, as provided in the Loan Agreement.

TO HAVE AND TO HOLD the Property unto and to the use and benefit of Lender and its successors and assigns, forever;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, these presents are upon the express condition that, if Borrower shall well and truly pay to Mortgagee, for the benefit of Lenders the Debt at the time and in the manner provided in the Loan Documents and shall well and truly abide by and comply in all material respects, with each and every covenant and condition set forth in the Loan Documents in a timely manner (giving effect to any applicable grace, notice and cure periods), these presents and the estate hereby granted shall cease, terminate and be void; provided, that upon request by Borrower, Mortgagee shall, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, execute and deliver for recording all customary documentation reasonably requested by Borrower to evidence such termination (including, without limitation, a recordable mortgage satisfaction or any other documentation required by a title company). Borrower shall pay all of Mortgagee’s reasonable attorney’s fees and disbursements incurred in connection with the aforesaid documentation;
AND Borrower represents and warrants to and covenants and agrees with Mortgagee as follows:
PART I - GENERAL PROVISIONS
1.
Payment of Debt and Incorporation of Covenants, Conditions and Agreements
.
Borrower shall pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided in the Loan Documents. All the covenants, conditions and agreements contained in the Loan Documents are hereby made a part of this Security Instrument to the same extent and with the same force as if fully set forth herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower (i) agrees to insure, repair, maintain and restore damage to the Property, pay Taxes and Other Charges, and comply with Legal Requirements, in accordance with the Loan Agreement, and (ii) agrees that the Insurance Proceeds and Awards for Condemnation shall be settled, held and applied in accordance with the
Loan Agreement. In the event of any conflict between this Security Instrument and the Loan Agreement, the terms of the Loan Agreement shall govern.
2.
Leases and Rents
.
(a)
Borrower does hereby absolutely and unconditionally assign to Mortgagee all of Borrower’s right, title and interest in all current and future Leases and Rents, it being intended by Borrower that this assignment constitutes a present, absolute assignment and not an assignment for additional security only. Such assignment shall not be construed to bind Mortgagee to the performance of any of the covenants or provisions contained in any Lease or otherwise impose any obligation upon Mortgagee. Nevertheless, subject to the terms of this paragraph, Mortgagee grants to Borrower a revocable license to operate and manage the Property and to collect, receive, use and enjoy the Rents subject to the requirements of the Loan Agreement (including the deposit of Rents into the Clearing Account). Upon an Event of Default, without the need for notice or demand, the license granted to Borrower herein shall automatically be revoked, and Lender shall immediately be entitled to possession of all Rents in the Clearing Account, the Deposit Account (including all Subaccounts thereof) and all Rents collected thereafter (including Rents past due and unpaid), whether or not Mortgagee enters upon or takes control of the Property,
provided
, that such revocation shall only be effective while an Event of Default is continuing. Borrower hereby grants and assigns to Lender the right, at its option, upon revocation of the license granted herein, to enter upon the Property in person, by agent or by court‑appointed receiver to collect the Rents, subject to the rights of tenants under Leases. Any Rents collected after the revocation of such license may be applied toward payment of the Debt in such priority and proportions as Mortgagee in its sole discretion shall deem proper.
(b)
Borrower shall not enter into, modify, amend, cancel, terminate or renew any Lease except as provided in
Section 4.1.9
of the Loan Agreement.
3.
Use of Property
.
Borrower shall not initiate, join in, acquiesce in or consent to any change in any private restrictive covenant, zoning law or other public or private restriction, limiting or defining the uses which may be made of the Property in violation of the Loan Agreement. If under applicable zoning provisions the use of the Property is or shall become a nonconforming use, Borrower shall not cause or permit such nonconforming use to be discontinued or abandoned without the consent of Mortgagee, in violation of the Loan Agreement. Borrower shall not (i) change the use of the Property, (ii) permit or suffer to occur any waste on or to the Property or (iii) take any steps to convert the Property to a condominium or cooperative form of ownership without the prior written consent of Mortgagee., in violation of the Loan Agreement
4.
Transfer or Encumbrance of the Property
.
(a)
Borrower acknowledges that (i) Mortgagee has examined and relied on the creditworthiness and experience of the principals of Borrower in owning and operating properties such as the Property in agreeing to make the Loan, (ii) Mortgagee will continue to rely on Borrower’s ownership of the Property as a means of maintaining the value of the Property as security for the Debt, and (iii) Mortgagee has a valid interest in maintaining the value of the Property so as to ensure that, should Borrower default in the repayment of the Debt, Mortgagee can recover
the Debt (pursuant to the Loan Agreement) by a sale of the Property. Borrower shall not sell, convey, alienate, mortgage, encumber, pledge or otherwise transfer the Property or any part thereof, or suffer or permit any Transfer to occur, other than a Permitted Transfer, without the prior written consent of Mortgagee. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, this Security Instrument shall not constitute a modification of any other provisions in any other Loan Documents which prohibit, limit or restrict the right of Borrower to transfer the Property or the right of any party to transfer any interest, directly or indirectly, in Borrower.
(b)
Mortgagee shall not be required to demonstrate any actual impairment of its security or any increased risk of default hereunder in order to declare the Debt immediately due and payable upon a Transfer in violation of this Paragraph 4. This provision shall apply to every sale, conveyance, alienation, mortgage, encumbrance, pledge or transfer of the Property (and every other Transfer) in violation of this Paragraph 4 regardless of whether voluntary or not. Any Transfer made in contravention of this Paragraph 4 shall be null and void and of no force and effect. Borrower agrees to bear and shall pay or reimburse Mortgagee on demand for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable out of pocket attorneys’ fees and disbursements, title search costs and title insurance endorsement premiums) incurred by Mortgagee in connection with the review, approval and documentation of any Permitted Transfer.
5.
Changes in Laws Regarding Taxation
.
If any law is enacted or adopted or amended after the date of this Security Instrument which deducts the Debt from the value of the Property for the purpose of taxation or which imposes a tax, either directly or indirectly, on the Debt or Mortgagee’s interest in the Property, Borrower will, upon written demand by Mortgagee
,
pay such tax, with interest and penalties thereon, if any. If Mortgagee is advised by its counsel that the payment of such tax or interest and penalties by Borrower would be unlawful, taxable to Mortgagee or unenforceable, or would provide the basis for a defense of usury, then Mortgagee shall have the option, by written notice of not less than 120 days, to declare the Debt immediately due and payable without premium or penalty. Borrower shall pay no premium or penalty, including, without limitation, any prepayment premium, if Lender shall declare the Debt immediately due and payable pursuant to the terms of this Section 5.
6.
No Credits on Account of the Debt
.
Borrower shall not claim or demand or be entitled to any credit on account of the Debt for any part of the Taxes or Other Charges assessed against the Property, and no deduction shall otherwise be made or claimed from the assessed value of the Property for real estate tax purposes by reason of this Security Instrument or the Debt, if such credit or deduction would increase the amount of Taxes or Other Charges required to be paid by Mortgagee. If such claim, credit or deduction shall be required by law, Mortgagee shall have the option, by written notice of not less than 120 days, to declare the Debt immediately due and payable, without any premium or penalty. Borrower shall pay no premium or penalty, including, without limitation, any prepayment premium, if Lender shall declare the Debt immediately due and payable pursuant to the terms of this Section 6.
7.
Further Acts, Etc
.
Borrower shall, at its sole cost, do execute, acknowledge and deliver all and every such further acts, deeds, conveyances, mortgages, assignments, notices of assignment, transfers and assurances as Mortgagee shall, from time to time, reasonably require, for the better assuring, conveying, assigning, transferring, and confirming unto Mortgagee the property and rights hereby mortgaged, given, granted, bargained, sold, alienated, enfeoffed, conveyed, confirmed, pledged, assigned and hypothecated or intended now or hereafter so to be, or which Borrower may be or may hereafter become bound to convey or assign to Mortgagee, or for carrying out the intention or facilitating the performance of the terms of this Security Instrument, or for filing, registering or recording this Security Instrument (but in no event will Borrower be required to incur, suffer or accept (except to a de mimimis extent) any lesser rights or greater obligations than as currently set forth in the Loan Documents). Upon foreclosure, the appointment of a receiver or any other relevant action, Borrower shall, at its sole cost, cooperate fully and completely to effect the assignment or transfer of any license, permit, agreement or any other right necessary or useful to the operation of the Property. Borrower grants to Mortgagee an irrevocable power of attorney coupled with an interest, which shall be exercisable upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, for the purpose of exercising and perfecting any and all rights and remedies available to Mortgagee at law and in equity, including such rights and remedies available to Mortgagee pursuant to this paragraph.
8.
Recording of Security Instrument, Etc
.
Borrower forthwith upon the execution and delivery of this Security Instrument and thereafter, from time to time, shall cause this Security Instrument, and any security instrument creating a lien or security interest or evidencing the lien hereof upon the Property and each instrument of further assurance to be filed, registered or recorded in such manner and in such places as may be required by any present or future law in order to publish notice of and fully to protect the lien or security interest hereof upon, and the interest of Mortgagee in, the Property. Borrower shall pay all filing, registration or recording fees, all expenses incident to the preparation, execution and acknowledgment of and all federal, state, county and municipal, taxes, duties, imposts, documentary stamps, assessments and charges arising out of or in connection with the execution and delivery of, this Security Instrument, any Security Instrument supplemental hereto, any other security instrument with respect to the Property or any instrument of further assurance, except where prohibited by law so to do. Borrower shall hold harmless and indemnify Mortgagee, its successors and assigns, against any liability incurred by reason of the imposition under applicable Legal Requirements of any tax on the making or recording of this Security Instrument.
9.
Right to Cure Defaults
.
Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Mortgagee may, but without any obligation to do so and without notice to or demand on Borrower and without releasing Borrower from any obligation hereunder, perform the obligations that gave rise to the Event of Default in such manner and to such extent as Mortgagee may deem necessary to protect the security hereof. Subject to the rights of Tenants under Leases, Mortgagee is authorized to enter upon the Property for such purposes or appear in, defend or bring any action or proceeding to protect its interest in the Property or to foreclose this Security Instrument or collect the Debt, and the out-of-pocket cost and expense thereof (including reasonable out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees and disbursements to the extent permitted by law), with interest thereon at the Default Rate for the period after written notice from Mortgagee that such out-of-pocket cost or
expense was incurred and continuing until the date of payment to Mortgagee, shall constitute a portion of the Debt, shall be secured by this Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents and shall be due and payable to Mortgagee promptly following written demand to Borrower therefor.
10.

(viii)
subject to the terms of this Security Instrument and the Assignment of Leases enforce Mortgagee’s interest in the Leases and Rents and enter into or upon the Property, subject to rights of tenants under Leases, either personally or by its agents, nominees or attorneys and dispossess Borrower and its agents and employees therefrom, and thereupon Mortgagee may (A) use, operate, manage, control, insure, maintain, repair, restore and otherwise deal with the Property and conduct the business thereat; (B) complete any construction on the Property in such manner and form as Mortgagee deems advisable; (C) make alterations, additions, renewals, replacements and improvements to or on the Property; (D) exercise all rights and powers of Borrower with respect to the Property, whether in the name of Borrower or otherwise, including the right to make, cancel, enforce or modify Leases, obtain and evict tenants, and demand, sue for, collect and receive Rents; and (E) apply the receipts from the Property to the payment of the Debt, after deducting therefrom all out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred in connection with the aforesaid operations and all amounts necessary to pay the Taxes, insurance and other charges in connection with the Property, as well as just and reasonable compensation for the services of Mortgagee, and its counsel, agents and employees; in each case, in accordance with the standards applicable to Lender under the Loan Documents;
(ix)

pursue such other rights and remedies as may be available at law or in equity or under the UCC, including the right to receive and/or establish a lock box for all Rents and proceeds from the Intangibles and any other receivables or rights to payments of Borrower relating to the Property.

(c)
Mortgagee may adjourn from time to time any sale by it to be made under or by virtue of this Security Instrument by announcement at the time and place appointed for such sale or for such adjourned sale or sales; and, except as otherwise provided by any applicable law, Mortgagee, without further notice or publication, may make such sale at the time and place to which the same shall be so adjourned.
(d)
Upon the completion of any sale or sales pursuant hereto, Mortgagee, or an officer of any court empowered to do so, shall execute and deliver to the accepted purchaser or purchasers a good and sufficient instrument, or good and sufficient instruments, conveying, assigning and transferring all estate, right, title and interest in and to the property and rights sold. Mortgagee is hereby irrevocably appointed the true and lawful attorney of Borrower (for exercise only upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default), in its name and stead, to make all necessary conveyances, assignments, transfers and deliveries of the Property and rights so sold and for that purpose Mortgagee may execute all necessary instruments of conveyance, assignment and transfer, and may substitute one or more persons with like power, Borrower hereby ratifying and confirming all that its said attorney or such substitute or substitutes shall lawfully do by virtue hereof. Any sale or sales made under or by virtue of this Paragraph 10, whether made under the power of sale herein granted or under or by virtue of judicial proceedings or of a judgment or decree of foreclosure and sale, shall operate to divest all the estate, right, title, interest, claim and demand whatsoever, whether at law or in equity, of Borrower in and to the properties and rights so sold, and shall be a perpetual bar both at law and in equity against Borrower and against any and all persons claiming or who may claim the same, or any part thereof, from, through or under Borrower.

Upon any sale made under or by virtue of this Paragraph 10, whether made under a power of sale or under or by virtue of judicial proceedings or of a judgment or decree of foreclosure and sale, Mortgagee may bid for and acquire the Property or any part thereof and in lieu of paying cash therefor may make settlement for the purchase price by crediting upon the Debt the net sales price after deducting therefrom the out-of-pocket expenses of the sale and costs of the action and any other sums which Mortgagee is authorized to deduct under this Security Instrument or any other Loan Document.
(f)
No recovery of any judgment by Mortgagee and no levy of an execution under any judgment upon the Property or upon any other property of Borrower shall affect in any manner or to any extent the lien of this Security Instrument upon the Property or any part thereof, or any liens, rights, powers or remedies of Mortgagee hereunder, but such liens, rights, powers and remedies of Mortgagee shall continue unimpaired as before.
(g)
Mortgagee may terminate or rescind any proceeding or other action brought in connection with its exercise of the remedies provided in this Paragraph 10 at any time before the conclusion thereof, as determined in Mortgagee’s sole discretion and without prejudice to Mortgagee.
(h)
Mortgagee may resort to any remedies and the security given by this Security Instrument or in any other Loan Document in whole or in part, and in such portions and in such order as determined by Mortgagee’s sole discretion. No such action shall in any way be considered a waiver of any rights, benefits or remedies evidenced or provided by any Loan Document. The failure of Mortgagee to exercise any right, remedy or option provided in any Loan Document shall not be deemed a waiver of such right, remedy or option or of any covenant or obligation secured by any Loan Document. No acceptance by Mortgagee of any payment after the occurrence of any Event of Default and no payment by Mortgagee of any obligation for which
Borrower is liable hereunder shall be deemed to waive or cure any Event of Default, or Borrower’s liability to pay such obligation. No sale of all or any portion of the Property, no forbearance on the part of Mortgagee, and no extension of time for the payment of the whole or any portion of the Debt or any other indulgence given by Mortgagee to Borrower, shall operate to release or in any manner affect the interest of Mortgagee in the remaining Property or the liability of Borrower to pay the Debt. No waiver by Mortgagee shall be effective unless it is in writing and then only to the extent specifically stated. All costs and expenses of Mortgagee in exercising its rights and remedies under this Paragraph 10 (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements to the extent permitted by law), shall be paid by Borrower immediately upon notice from Mortgagee, with interest at the Default Rate for the period after notice from Mortgagee, and such costs and expenses shall constitute a portion of the Debt and shall be secured by this Security Instrument.
(i)
The interests and rights of Mortgagee under the Loan Documents shall not be impaired by any indulgence, including (i) any renewal, extension or modification which Lender may grant with respect to any of the Debt, (ii) any surrender, compromise, release, renewal, extension, exchange or substitution which Mortgagee may grant with respect to the Property or any portion thereof or (iii) any release or indulgence granted to any maker, endorser, guarantor or surety of any of the Debt.
11.
Right of Entry
.
In addition to any other rights or remedies granted under this Security Instrument, Mortgagee and its agents shall have the right to enter and inspect the Property at any reasonable time during business hours throughout the term of this Security Instrument, subject to the rights of tenants under Leases. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the cost of any inspections or audits shall be borne by Borrower, including the actual cost of all follow up or additional investigations or inquiries deemed reasonably necessary by Mortgagee. The cost of such inspections, if not paid for by Borrower within ten (10) Business Days following written demand, may be added to the principal balance of the sums due under the Note and this Security Instrument and shall bear interest thereafter until paid at the Default Rate.
12.
Security Agreement
.
This Security Instrument is both a real property Security Instrument and a “security agreement” within the meaning of the UCC. The Property includes both real and personal property and all other rights and interests, whether tangible or intangible in nature, of Borrower in the Property. Borrower by executing and delivering this Security Instrument has granted and hereby grants to Mortgagee, as security for the Debt, a security interest in the Property to the full extent that the Property may be subject to the UCC (such portion of the Property so subject to the UCC being called in this paragraph the “
Collateral
”). This Security Instrument shall also constitute a “fixture filing” for the purposes of the UCC. As such, this Security Instrument covers all items of the Collateral that are or are to become fixtures. Information concerning the security interest herein granted may be obtained from the parties at the addresses of the parties set forth in the first paragraph of this Security Instrument. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, Mortgagee, in addition to any other rights and remedies which it may have, shall have and may exercise immediately and without demand, any and all rights and remedies granted to a secured party upon default under the UCC, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the right to take possession of the Collateral or any part thereof, and to take such
other measures as Mortgagee may deem necessary for the care, protection and preservation of the Collateral. During the continuance of an Event of Default, upon request or demand of Mortgagee, Borrower shall at its expense assemble the Collateral and make it available to Mortgagee at a convenient place in New York reasonably acceptable to Mortgagee. Borrower shall pay to Mortgagee within five (5) Business Days of promptly following written demand any and all expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, incurred or paid by Mortgagee in protecting the interest in the Collateral and in enforcing the rights hereunder with respect to the Collateral
(but excluding special, punitive, or consequential damages, unless asserted against Borrower by a third party)
. Any notice of sale, disposition or other intended action by Mortgagee with respect to the Collateral, sent to Borrower in accordance with the provisions hereof at least ten (10) Business Days prior to such action, shall constitute commercially reasonable notice to Borrower. The proceeds of any disposition of the Collateral, or any part thereof, may be applied by Mortgagee to the payment of the Debt in such priority and proportions as Mortgagee in its sole discretion shall deem proper. In the event of any change in name, identity or structure of Borrower, Borrower shall notify Mortgagee thereof and promptly after request shall execute, file and record such UCC forms as are necessary to maintain the priority of Mortgagee’s lien upon and security interest in the Collateral, and shall pay all expenses and fees in connection with the filing and recording thereof. If Mortgagee shall require the filing or recording of additional UCC forms or continuation statements, Borrower shall, promptly after request, execute, file and record such UCC forms or continuation statements as Mortgagee reasonably shall deem necessary, and shall pay all expenses and fees in connection with the filing and recording thereof, it being understood and agreed, however, that no such additional documents shall increase Borrower’s obligations or decrease Borrower’s rights under the Loan Documents. Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Mortgagee as its attorney‑in‑fact, coupled with an interest, to file with the appropriate public office on its behalf any financing or other statements naming Mortgagee, as secured party, and Borrower, as debtor, in connection with the Collateral covered by this Security Instrument.
13.
Actions and Proceedings
.
Following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Mortgagee has the right to appear in and defend any action or proceeding brought with respect to the Property and to bring any action or proceeding, in the name and on behalf of Borrower, which Mortgagee, in its sole discretion, decides should be brought to protect its or their interest in the Property. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Mortgagee shall, at its option, be subrogated to the lien of any mortgage or other security instrument discharged in whole or in part by the Debt, and any such subrogation rights shall constitute additional security for the payment of the Debt.
14.
Marshalling and Other Matters

Section 3.6.
No Financing Statements

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Pledgor shall promptly notify Lender if any Equity Interest with respect to the Property Owner (whether now owned or hereafter acquired by Pledgor) is not evidenced by a Certificated Security, and Pledgor shall promptly thereafter take all actions required to perfect the security interest of Lender in such
Pledged Equity under applicable law and otherwise take all actions required under
Section 1.3
hereof in respect thereto.

There are no setoffs, counterclaims or defenses with respect to the Collateral owned by Pledgor and no agreement, oral or written, has been made with any other Person under which any deduction or discount may be claimed with respect to such Collateral and, to Pledgor’s knowledge,‑‑ there is no fact or circumstance which would prohibit or prevent Pledgor from assigning to Lender, and granting to Lender a security interest in, the Collateral.

(b)
Sell, resell, assign and deliver any or all of the Collateral or any other security for the Secured Obligations (whether in whole or in part and at the same or different times) and all right, title and interest, claim and demand therein and right of redemption thereof, at public or private sale, for cash or upon credit (by Lender only), in accordance with the applicable procedures specified in

Such rights and remedies shall include, without limitation, the right to (a) exercise all voting, consent, managerial and other rights relating to the Pledged Equity, whether in Pledgor’s name or otherwise, including, without limitation, the right to appoint officers, directors, managers and other similar positions and to terminate any Person acting in such capacity, (b) demand, sue for, receive and collect all Distributions and make application thereof to the Debt in such order of priority as Lender shall elect, and (c) exercise Pledgor’s rights, if any, of conversion, exchange, or subscription, or any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to any of the Pledged Equity, including, without limitation, the right to exchange, in Lender’s discretion, any and all of the Pledged Equity upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other readjustment of the Property Owner.

Pledgor hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs the Property Owner, on receipt by Property Owner of written notice from Lender to such effect, to deem and treat Lender or its nominee in all respects as a member (and not merely an assignee of a member) of the Property Owner, entitled to exercise all the rights, powers and privileges thereof, to receive all Distributions, to be credited with the capital account and to have all other rights, powers and privileges pertaining to the Pledged Equity to which Pledgor would have been entitled had Pledgor not executed this Agreement. Pledgor agrees to take all such actions and to execute all such documents as may be requested by Lender or that may otherwise be appropriate to give effect to Lender’s rights under this
Section 4.3
.
Section 4.4.
Certain Additional Rights and Remedies

Section 3.13

Section 4.9.
Remedies Cumulative, Etc
. The obligations of Pledgor under this Agreement shall be absolute and unconditional and shall remain in full force and effect without regard to, and shall not be released, suspended, discharged, terminated or otherwise affected by, any circumstances or occurrence except as specifically provided in this Agreement.

Section 4.10.
Waiver of Notice
. Pledgor hereby waives notice of acceptance hereof, and except as otherwise specifically provided herein, Pledgor hereby waives any and all notices or
demands with respect to any exercise by Lender of any rights, powers or remedies which Lender may have or to which Lender may be entitled with respect to the Collateral.
Section 4.11.
Legal Requirements; Waiver by Pledgor
. The exercise by Lender of any right, power or remedy under this Agreement shall be subject to applicable provisions of any applicable statutes and laws if and only to the extent that any such provisions cannot, in accordance applicable law, be waived.

ARTICLE V - SALE OF THE COLLATERAL
Section 5.1.
Certain Matters Relating to the Sale of Collateral
. In connection with any sale or other disposition of all or any part of the Collateral pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, Lender may grant options and may impose reasonable conditions and requirements, including, without limitation, requiring that (i) any purchaser represent that any “securities” constituting any part of the Collateral are being purchased for its own account for investment only and not with a view to distribution or resale thereof and (ii) any purchaser be eligible to acquire the Collateral under the Mortgage Loan Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement. If all or any of the Collateral is sold at any sale by Lender to a third Person upon credit, Lender shall not be liable for the failure of the purchaser to purchase or pay for the same and, in the event of any such failure, Lender may resell such Collateral. It is expressly agreed that Lender may exercise its rights with respect to less than all of the Collateral, leaving unexercised its rights with respect to the remainder of the Collateral;
provided
,
however
, that such partial exercise shall in no way restrict or jeopardize Lender’s right to exercise its rights with respect to the remaining Collateral at a later time or times. To the extent permitted under applicable law, Pledgor hereby waives and releases any and all rights of redemption with respect to the sale of any Collateral.
Section 5.2.
Sale Procedures
. No demand, advertisement or notice shall be required in connection with any sale or other disposition of all or any part of the Collateral pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, except that Lender shall give Pledgor at least ten (10) days’ prior written notice of the time and place of any public sale or of the time and the place at which any private sale or other disposition is to be made, which notice Pledgor hereby acknowledges and agrees is reasonable. All other demands, advertisements and notices are hereby waived by Pledgor. The notice of such sale shall (a) in case of a public sale, state the time and place fixed for such sale, (b) in case of a sale at a broker’s board or on a securities exchange, state the board or exchange at which such sale is to be made and the day on which the Collateral, or the portion thereof so being sold, first will be offered for sale at such board or exchange and (c) in the case of a private sale, state the date after which such sale may be consummated. Any public sale shall be held at such time or times within ordinary business hours and at such place or places as Lender may fix in the notice of such sale.
Section 5.3.
Adjournment; Credit Sale
. Lender shall not be obligated to make any sale of the Collateral if it shall determine not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale may have been given, and Lender may without notice or publication adjourn any public or private sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which the same was so adjourned. Upon any sale of all or any portion of the Collateral, Lender (or its nominee or designee)
may purchase all or any portion of the Collateral being sold, free and clear of, and discharged from, any trusts, claims, equity or right of redemption of Pledgor, all of which are hereby waived and released by Pledgor to the fullest extent permitted by law, and may make payment therefor by credit against any of the Secured Obligations in lieu of cash or any other obligations.
Section 5.4.
Expenses of Sale
. In the case of any sale or other disposition of all or any part of the Collateral pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, Pledgor shall be responsible for the payment of all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind in any way relating to the sale and delivery of the Collateral and in any way relating to the preparation for and processing of such sale, including, without limitation, reasonable out-of-pocket brokers’ fees and expenses, Lender’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements and any and all taxes (or similar impositions) of any kind imposed on, or relating to, the sale of the Collateral (collectively, the “
Sale Expenses
”). The proceeds of the sale of the Collateral shall be available to cover such Sale Expenses, and, after deducting such Sale Expenses from the proceeds of the sale, Lender shall apply any remaining amounts in the manner set forth in
Section 5.9
hereof.
Section 5.5.
Private Sale
. Lender shall not incur any liability as a result of the sale of the Collateral, or any part thereof, at any private sale pursuant to this Agreement conducted in a commercially reasonable manner, it being agreed upon and understood by Pledgor that some or all of the Collateral is or may be of one or more types that threaten to decline speedily in value and that are not customarily sold in a recognized market. Pledgor hereby waives any claims against Lender arising by reason of the fact that the price at which the Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale or was less than the aggregate amount of the Debt, even if Lender accepts the first offer received and does not offer the Collateral to more than one potential offeree.
Section 5.6.
Securities Laws
.
(a)
Pledgor recognizes that, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “
Securities Act
”), Lender may be compelled, with respect to any sale of all or any part of the Collateral, to limit purchasers to those who will agree, among other things, to acquire the Collateral for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof (the “
Securities Limitation
”). Pledgor acknowledges that any such sales may be at prices and on terms, in each case, less favorable to Lender than those obtainable through a sale without the Securities Limitation and that Lender shall have no obligation to delay any sale of the Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer thereof to register it for public sale. Pursuant to Section 9-603 of the UCC, Pledgor agrees that the applicability of the Securities Limitation in respect of any foreclosure sale of the Collateral shall not cause such sale to not be commercially reasonable; provided, that for the avoidance of doubt, Lender acknowledges that none of Pledgor, any other Mezzanine Borrower or Guarantor shall have any liability to Lender in connection with any foreclosure by Lender in violation of any such agreement between Lender and Senior Lender.
(b)
Pledgor is aware that Section 9-610(c) of the UCC may restrict Lender’s ability to purchase the Collateral at a private sale. Pledgor is also aware that Securities and Exchange Commission (the “
SEC
”) staff personnel have, over a period of years, issued various No-Action Letters that describe procedures which, in the view of the SEC staff, permit a foreclosure sale of securities to occur in a manner that is public for purposes of Part 6 of Article 9 of the UCC, yet not public for purposes of Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. Pledgor is also aware that Lender may wish to purchase the Pledged Equity or any portion thereof that is sold at a foreclosure sale, and Pledgor believes and agrees that such purchases would be appropriate in circumstances in which such interests are sold in substantial conformity with the principles set forth in such No-Action Letters. Section 9-603 of the UCC permits Pledgor to agree on the standards for determining whether Lender has complied with its obligations under Section 9-610 of the UCC. Pursuant to Section 9-603 of the UCC, Pledgor specifically agrees that a foreclosure sale conducted in substantial conformity with the principles set forth in such No-Action Letters (a) shall be considered to be a “public disposition” for purposes of Section 9-610(c) of the UCC; (b) will be considered commercially reasonable notwithstanding that Lender has not registered or sought to register the interests under the Securities Act, even if Pledgor or the Property Owner agree to pay, or reimburse Lender for, all costs of the registration process; and (c) shall be considered to be commercially reasonable, notwithstanding that Lender purchases such interests at such a sale.
Section 5.7.
Limitation on Sale to Only Eligible Purchasers
. Pledgor recognizes that, by reason of certain provisions of, respectively, the Mortgage Loan Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement, Lender may be compelled, with respect to any sale of all or any part of the Collateral, to limit prospective purchasers to those who are, among other things, eligible under the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement to acquire the Pledged Equity (the “
Eligible Purchaser Limitation
”). Pledgor acknowledges that the Eligible Purchaser Limitation may, in respect of any sale of the Collateral by Lender, (i) substantially reduce the number of potential prospective purchasers that would, but for the existence of the Eligible Purchaser Limitation, be interested in acquiring the Collateral, and (ii) result in prices and terms, in each case, less favorable to Lender than those obtainable through a sale where the Eligible Purchaser Limitation did not apply. Pursuant to Section 9-603 of the UCC, Pledgor agrees that the applicability of the Eligible Purchaser Limitation in respect of any foreclosure sale of the Collateral shall not cause such sale to not be commercially reasonable.
Section 5.8.
Additional Sale Provisions
. Pledgor agrees that Lender shall not have any general duty or obligation to make any effort to obtain or pay any particular price for any Pledged Equity sold by Lender pursuant to this Agreement. Lender, may, in its sole discretion, among other things, accept the first offer received, or decide to approach or not to approach any potential purchasers. Without in any way limiting Lender’s right to conduct a foreclosure sale in any manner which is considered commercially reasonable, Pledgor hereby agrees that any foreclosure sale conducted in accordance with the following provisions (including, without limitation, the requirement herein that Pledgor shall have received not less than ten (10) days prior written notice of any such sale) shall be considered a commercially reasonable sale and hereby irrevocably waives any right to contest or set aside any such sale:
(a)
Lender conducts the foreclosure sale in the State of New York,
(b)
The foreclosure sale is conducted in accordance with the laws of the State of New York,
(c)
Less than ten (10) days in advance of the foreclosure sale, Lender notifies Pledgor at the address set forth herein of the time and place of such foreclosure sale,
(d)
The foreclosure sale is conducted by a broker or another auctioneer licensed in the State of New York, and
(e)
The notice of the date, time and location of the foreclosure sale is published in the New York Times or Wall Street Journal (or such other daily newspaper widely circulated in New York, New York) for at least three (3) days prior to the date of the foreclosure sale.
Section 5.9.
Pledgor hereby waives any claims against Lender arising by reason of the fact that the price at which any of the Collateral was sold was less than the aggregate amount of the Secured Obligations.
Section 5.10.
Receipt of Sales Proceeds
. Upon any sale or other disposition of all or any part of the Collateral pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the receipt of the proceeds by Lender or the officer making the sale shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers of the Collateral so sold, and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be obligated to see to the application of any part of the purchase money paid over to Lender or such officer or be answerable in any way for the misapplication or non-application thereof.
Section 5.11.
Application of Collateral Proceeds and Distributions
. All proceeds from the sale of all or any portion of the Collateral received by Lender, shall be applied by Lender in the following order of priority: (i) first, against the Sale Expenses, (ii) second, against the Debt in such order and priority Lender shall elect and (iii) the balance, if any, to such Persons as may be entitled to same in accordance with applicable law. All Distributions now or at any time hereafter received or retained by Lender pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement shall be applied by Lender against the Debt in such order and priority Lender shall elect following the occurrence of an Event of Default.
Section 5.12.
Admission as Member; Lender Authority
. If the Pledged Equity is sold or otherwise transferred to Lender, its nominee or any third Person (each, in such capacity, an “
Enforcement Transferee
”) by an assignment-in-lieu of foreclosure, strict foreclosure, public or private sale or otherwise in connection with Lender exercising its remedies under this Agreement (each, an “
Enforcement Transfer
”), the following shall apply (all without the necessity of any further action on the part of Pledgor): (A) the Enforcement Transferee shall, automatically upon such Enforcement Transfer, be admitted as a new member and owner of Property Owner to the extent of the Pledged Equity so transferred to such Enforcement Transferee, and (B) Pledgor shall, from and after such Enforcement Transfer, no longer be a member or owner of the Property Owner and Pledgor shall be deemed to have withdrawn as member and owner of Property Owner, in each case, to the extent such Pledged Equity has been so transferred. Pledgor hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs Property Owner, upon each Enforcement Transfer (a) to deem and treat the Enforcement Transferee in all respects as a member (and not merely an assignee of a member) of
Property Owner, entitled to exercise all the rights, powers and privileges (including, without limitation, the right to vote on or take any action with respect to company matters pursuant to the Organizational Agreements of the Property Owner, to receive all Distributions, and to be credited with the members’ capital attributable to the Pledged Equity so transferred) appertaining to such membership interests to which Pledgor would have been entitled had Pledgor’s memberships interests not been transferred to the Enforcement Transferee and (b)(i) to file an amended certificate of formation, (ii) to amend the Organizational Agreements of Property Owner in any manner deemed appropriate by the Enforcement Transferee, and (iii) to execute and deliver consents of members providing for the admission of the Enforcement Transferee as a member of the Property Owner in place of Pledgor. The foregoing authorization and instructions to Property Owner are irrevocable, may be relied upon by Property Owner and may not be modified in any manner other than by Lender sending to Property Owner a written notice terminating such authorization and direction. Furthermore, in connection with any Enforcement Transfer, Lender may and, is hereby irrevocably authorized by Pledgor to, at any time and from time to time, (x) complete the Assignment of Interest by inserting the Effective Date (as defined therein) and the name of the Enforcement Transferee thereunder and deliver to such Enforcement Transferee each Assignment of Interest so executed and delivered by Pledgor, (y) otherwise execute, complete and date, any endorsements, assignments and other instruments and documents necessary or deemed advisable by Lender to effectuate an Enforcement Transfer, (z) do all other things, take such actions and/or execute such documents and instruments as Lender deems appropriate or advisable to effectuate any Enforcement Transfer.
Section 5.13.
No Marshaling/Preferences
. Lender shall have no obligation to marshal any assets in favor of Pledgor or any other Person or against, or in payment of, any or all of the Debt. To the extent Pledgor makes a payment or payments to Lender, which payment or proceeds or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other Person under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or proceeds received, the Secured Obligations 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 Lender.
ARTICLE VI - MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
Section 6.1.
Further Assurances
. Pledgor hereby agrees to sign and deliver to Lender financing statements, continuation statements and other documents, agreements, and instruments, all in form and content acceptable to Lender, and perform such further acts, in each case, as Lender may, from time to time, reasonably request or which are reasonably necessary or advisable to (i) establish and maintain a valid and perfected security interest in the Collateral (and to pay any filing fees relative thereto) and (ii) to further assure and/or confirm Lender’s rights and remedies hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Pledgor authorizes Lender, to the extent permitted by law, to file such financing statements and amendments thereto and continuations thereof relating to all or any part of the Collateral without the signature of Pledgor (including, to the extent permitted by law, to file a photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement), provided that Lender will promptly upon written request provide copies of any such filings to Pledgor.
Section 6.2.
No Release, Etc
. No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon a default or an Event of Default shall impair any such remedy, right or power or shall 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 by Lender to be expedient. A waiver of any 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 of Lender. Any and all of Lender’s rights with respect to any Collateral shall continue unimpaired, and Pledgor shall be and remain obligated in accordance with the terms hereof, notwithstanding, among other things: (a) any renewal, extension, amendment or modification of, or addition or supplement to, or deletion from, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any other instrument or agreement referred to therein, or any assignment or transfer of any thereof; (b) any waiver, consent, delay, extension of time, indulgence or other action or inaction under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (c) any exercise or non‑exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (d) any sale, exchange, release, surrender, or substitution of, or realization upon, any Collateral (except to the extent otherwise specifically agreed to in writing by Lender) or any other security held by Lender to secure the Secured Obligations; (e) the furnishing to or acceptance by Lender of any additional security to secure the Secured Obligations; (f) any right of offset, claim or defense of any party against Lender, under the Loan Documents or otherwise; or (g) any lack of perfection of, invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability of all or any part of the Secured Obligations or of any security therefor.
