PART I

Item 1.
Business.

Our Company

As used in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, unless the context requires otherwise, the terms “Brookfield DTLA,” the “Company,” “us,” “we” and “our” refer to Brookfield DTLA Fund Office Trust Investor Inc.

Brookfield DTLA Fund Office Trust Investor Inc. (“Brookfield DTLA” or the “Company”) is a Maryland corporation and was incorporated on April 19, 2013. Brookfield DTLA was formed for the purpose of consummating the transactions contemplated in the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of April 24, 2013, as amended (the “Merger Agreement”), and the issuance of shares of 7.625%  Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (the “Series A preferred stock”) in connection with the acquisition of MPG Office Trust, Inc. and MPG Office, L.P. (together, “MPG”). Brookfield DTLA is a direct subsidiary of Brookfield DTLA Holdings LLC (“Brookfield DTLA Holdings”), a Delaware limited liability company and an indirect partially-owned subsidiary of Brookfield Office Properties Inc., a corporation incorporated under the Laws of Canada (“BPO”).

Brookfield DTLA owns BOA Plaza, EY Plaza, Wells Fargo Center–North Tower, Wells Fargo Center–South Tower, Gas Company Tower and 777 Tower, each of which is a Class A office property located in the Los Angeles Central Business District (the “LACBD”).

Brookfield DTLA has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) pursuant to Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), commencing with its tax period ended December 31, 2013. Brookfield DTLA conducts and intends to conduct its operations so as to continue to qualify as a REIT. Accordingly, Brookfield DTLA is not subject to U.S. federal income tax, provided that it continues to qualify as a REIT and distributions to its stockholders, if any, generally equal or exceed its taxable income. Brookfield DTLA has elected to treat certain of its subsidiaries as taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRS”). Certain activities that we undertake must be conducted by a TRS, such as non-customary services for our tenants, and holding assets that we cannot hold directly. A TRS is subject to both federal and state income taxes.

Brookfield DTLA receives its income primarily from rental income (including tenant reimbursements) generated from the operations of its office and retail properties, and to a lesser extent, from its parking garages.

Corporate Strategy

Brookfield DTLA’s current strategy is to own and invest in commercial properties primarily in the LACBD that are of a high-quality, determined by management’s view of the certainty of receiving rental payments generated by the tenants of those assets.

Competition

Brookfield DTLA competes in the leasing of office space with a number of other real estate companies.

Principal factors of competition in our primary business of owning and operating office properties are: the quality of properties, leasing terms (including rent and other charges and allowances for tenant improvements), attractiveness and convenience of location, the quality and breadth of tenant services provided, and reputation as an owner and operator of quality office properties in the LACBD. Additionally, our ability to compete depends upon, among other factors, trends in the national and local economies, investment alternatives, financial condition and operating results of current and prospective tenants, availability and cost of capital, construction and renovation costs, taxes, governmental regulations, legislation and population trends.

Segment, Geographical and Tenant Concentration Information

Segment Information

Brookfield DTLA operates in a single reportable segment referred to as its office segment, which includes the operation and management of commercial office properties. Each of Brookfield DTLA’s operating properties is considered a separate operating segment, as each property earns revenues and incurs expenses, individual operating results are reviewed and discrete financial information is available. Management does not distinguish or group Brookfield DTLA’s consolidated operations based on geography, size or type. Brookfield DTLA’s operating properties have similar economic characteristics and provide similar products and services to tenants. As a result, Brookfield DTLA’s operating properties are aggregated into a single reportable segment.

Geographical Information

All of Brookfield DTLA’s business is conducted in the United States, and it does not derive any revenue from foreign sources.

Tenant Concentration Information

Brookfield DTLA’s properties are typically leased to high credit-rated tenants for terms ranging from five to ten years, although we also enter into some short-term as well as longer-term leases. As our entire portfolio is located in the LACBD, any specific economic changes within that location could affect our tenant base, and by extension, our profitability.

A significant portion of Brookfield DTLA’s rental income and tenant reimbursements revenue is generated by a small number of tenants. No tenant accounted for more than  10% of our consolidated rental income and tenant reimbursements revenue during the year ended December 31, 2016 .

During the year ended December 31, 2016 , EY Plaza, BOA Plaza, Wells Fargo Center–North Tower, Wells Fargo Center–South Tower, Gas Company Tower and 777 Tower each contributed more than  10% of Brookfield DTLA’s consolidated revenue. The revenue generated by these six properties totaled  100% of Brookfield DTLA’s consolidated revenue during the year ended December 31, 2016 .

Government and Environmental Regulations

Brookfield DTLA’s office properties are subject to various laws, ordinances and regulations, including regulations relating to common areas. We believe that each of our properties has the necessary permits and approvals to operate its business.

Our properties must comply with Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (the “ADA”) to the extent that such properties are “public accommodations” as defined by the ADA. The ADA may require removal of structural barriers to access by persons with disabilities in certain public areas of our properties where such removal is readily achievable. We believe that our properties are in substantial compliance with the ADA, and we continue to make capital expenditures to address the requirements of the ADA. Noncompliance with the ADA could result in the imposition of fines or an award of damages to private litigants. The obligation to make readily achievable accommodations is an ongoing one, and we continue to assess our properties and to make alterations as appropriate in this respect.

Some of our properties contain, or may have contained, or are adjacent to or near other properties that have contained or currently contain, underground storage tanks for the storage of petroleum products or other hazardous or toxic substances. These operations create a potential for the release of petroleum products or other hazardous or toxic substances. Also, some of our properties contain asbestos-containing building materials (“ACBM”). Environmental laws require that ACBM be properly managed and maintained, and may impose fines and penalties on building owners or operators for failure to comply with these requirements. These laws may also allow third parties to seek recovery from owners or operators for personal injury associated with exposure to asbestos fibers. We can make no assurance that costs of future environmental compliance will not affect our ability to make distributions to our stockholders or that such costs or other remedial measures will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. None of our recent site assessments revealed any past or present environmental liability that we believe would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

From time to time, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) designates certain sites affected by hazardous substances as “Superfund” sites pursuant to the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (“CERCLA”). Superfund sites can cover large areas, affecting many different parcels of land. The EPA identifies parties who are considered to be potentially responsible for the hazardous substances at Superfund sites and makes them liable for the costs of responding to the hazardous substances. The parcel of land on which Glendale Center (a property that was disposed of by MPG during 2012) is located lies within a large Superfund site. The site was designated as a Superfund site because the groundwater beneath the site is contaminated. We have not been named, and do not expect to be named, as a potentially responsible party for the site. If we were named, we would likely be required to enter into a de minimis settlement with the EPA and pay nominal damages.

Independent environmental consultants have conducted Phase I or other environmental site assessments on all of the properties in our portfolio. Site assessments are intended to discover and evaluate information regarding the environmental condition of the surveyed property and surrounding properties. These assessments do not generally include soil samplings, subsurface investigations or an asbestos survey. None of the recent site assessments revealed any past or present environmental liability that we believe would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Insurance

Brookfield DTLA’s properties are covered under insurance policies entered into by BPO that provide, among other things, all risk property and business interruption coverage for BPO’s commercial portfolio with an aggregate limit of $2.5 billion per occurrence as well as an aggregate limit of $370.0 million of earthquake, flood and weather catastrophe insurance. In addition, Brookfield DTLA’s properties are covered by a terrorism insurance policy that provides aggregate coverage of $4.0 billion for all of BPO’s U.S. properties.

To the extent an act or acts of terrorism produce losses in excess of the limits in place, the resulting loss could have a material adverse effect on Brookfield DTLA’s consolidated financial statements. Brookfield DTLA is in compliance with the contractual obligations regarding terrorism insurance contained in such policies. See Item 1A. “Risk Factors—Our insurance may not cover some potential losses or may not be obtainable at commercially reasonable rates, which could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.”

Employees

As of December 31, 2016 , Brookfield DTLA had no employees. The operations of Brookfield DTLA are managed by employees of BPO.

Corporate Offices

BPO owns the building in which Brookfield DTLA’s operations are managed: 250 Vesey Street, New York, NY 10281, telephone number 212-417-7000. Brookfield DTLA believes that BPO’s current facilities are adequate for Brookfield DTLA’s present needs.

Risk Factors.

Factors That May Affect Future Results
(Cautionary Statement Under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995)

This Annual Report on Form 10-K contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of “safe harbor” provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (as set forth in Section 27A of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and Section 21E of the Exchange Act). Forward-looking statements include statements that are predictive in nature, depend upon or refer to future events or conditions, include statements regarding our operations, business, financial condition, expected financial results, performance, prospects, opportunities, priorities, targets, goals, ongoing objectives, strategies and outlook, as well as the outlook for North American and international economies for the current fiscal year and subsequent periods, and include words such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “plans,” “believes,” “estimates,” “seeks,” “intends,” “targets,” “projects,” “forecasts,” “likely,” or negative versions thereof and other similar expressions, or future or conditional verbs such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “would,” and “could.”

Although Brookfield DTLA believes that its anticipated future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements and information are based upon reasonable assumptions and expectations, the reader should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements and information because they involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are beyond its control, which may cause Brookfield DTLA’s actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from anticipated future results, performance or achievement expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements and information.

Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated or implied by forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to:

Risks generally incident to the ownership of real property, including the ability to retain tenants and rent space upon lease expirations, the financial condition and solvency of our tenants, the relative illiquidity of real estate and changes in real estate taxes, regulatory compliance costs and other operating expenses;

Risks associated with the Downtown Los Angeles market, which is characterized by challenging leasing conditions, including limited numbers of new tenants coming into the market and the downsizing of large tenants in the market such as accounting firms, banks and law firms;

Risks related to increased competition for tenants in the Downtown Los Angeles market, including aggressive attempts by competing landlords to fill large vacancies by providing tenants with lower rental rates, increasing amounts of free rent and providing larger allowances for tenant improvements;

The impact or unanticipated impact of general economic, political and market factors in the regions in which Brookfield DTLA or any of its subsidiaries does business;

The use of debt to finance Brookfield DTLA’s business or that of its subsidiaries;

The behavior of financial markets, including fluctuations in interest rates;

Uncertainties of real estate development or redevelopment;

Global equity and capital markets and the availability of equity and debt financing and refinancing within these markets;

Risks relating to Brookfield DTLA’s insurance coverage;

The possible impact of international conflicts and other developments, including terrorist acts;

Potential environmental liabilities;

Dependence on management personnel;

The ability to complete and effectively integrate acquisitions into existing operations and the ability to attain expected benefits therefrom;

Operational and reputational risks;

Catastrophic events, such as earthquakes and hurricanes; and

The impact of legislative, regulatory and competitive changes and other risk factors relating to the real estate industry, as detailed from time to time in the reports of Brookfield DTLA filed with the SEC.

Brookfield DTLA cautions that the foregoing list of important factors that may affect future results is not exhaustive. When relying on Brookfield DTLA’s forward-looking statements or information, investors and others should carefully consider the foregoing factors and other uncertainties and potential events. Except as required by law, Brookfield DTLA undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements or information, whether written or oral, that may be as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

The following is a discussion of the risk factors that Brookfield DTLA’s management believes are material to Brookfield DTLA at this time. These risks and uncertainties are not the only ones facing Brookfield DTLA and there may be additional matters that Brookfield DTLA is unaware of or that Brookfield DTLA currently considers immaterial. In addition to the other information included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, including the matters addressed above, you should carefully consider the following risk factors. If any of these risks occur, our business, financial condition and operating results could be harmed, the market value of the Series A preferred stock issued in connection with the MPG acquisition could decline and stockholders could lose part or all of their investment.

Table of Contents

As used in this section, the terms “Brookfield DTLA,” the “Company,” “us,” “we” and “our” refer to Brookfield DTLA together with its direct and indirect subsidiaries, and the term “stockholders” means the holders of the Series A preferred stock issued in connection with the MPG acquisition.

RISKS RELATED TO THE OWNERSHIP OF BROOKFIELD DTLA SERIES A PREFERRED STOCK

Brookfield DTLA is dependent upon the assets and operations of its direct and indirect subsidiaries . Brookfield DTLA is a holding company and does not own any material assets other than the equity interests of its subsidiaries, which conduct all of the Company’s operations. As a result, distributions or advances from the Company’s subsidiaries will be the primary source of funds available to meet the obligations of the Company, including any obligation to pay dividends, if declared, or other distributions in respect of the Brookfield DTLA Series A preferred stock. Our current and future obligations and liabilities may limit, and the terms of certain of the equity interests issued in connection with the transactions immediately following the consummation of the merger will limit, the amount of funds available to Brookfield DTLA for any purpose, including for dividends or distributions to holders of its capital stock, including the Series A preferred stock.

Brookfield DTLA’s subsidiaries have issued, and may in the future issue, equity securities that are senior to the equity interests of such subsidiary that are owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company . The respective organizational documents of Brookfield DTLA and its subsidiaries generally do not restrict the issuance of debt or equity by any of Brookfield DTLA’s subsidiaries, and any such issuance may adversely impact the amount of funds available to Brookfield DTLA for any purpose, including for dividends or other distributions to holders of its capital stock, including the Series A preferred stock. As part of the transactions immediately following the consummation of the merger with MPG, subsidiaries of the Company issued equity interests that rank senior to the equity securities of such subsidiaries held indirectly by Brookfield DTLA, and as a result, effectively rank senior to the Series A preferred stock. Additionally, at the time of the merger with MPG, Brookfield DTLA Holdings made a commitment to contribute up to $260.0 million in cash or property to Brookfield DTLA Fund Properties II LLC (“New OP”), for which it will be entitled to receive a preferred return, if and when called by New OP. As of March 20, 2017 , $166.7 million is available to the Company under this commitment for future funding.

The Series B preferred interest in New OP held by Brookfield DTLA Holdings is effectively senior to the interest in New OP held by Brookfield DTLA and has a priority on distributions senior to the equity securities of such subsidiaries held indirectly by Brookfield DTLA and, as a result, effectively rank senior to the Series A preferred stock. The Series B preferred interest in New OP may limit the amount of funds available to Brookfield DTLA for any purpose, including for dividends or other distributions to holders of its capital stock, including the Series A preferred stock.

Table of Contents

In addition, the amount of cash Brookfield DTLA currently generates from its operations is not sufficient to cover Brookfield DTLA’s operating, financing and investing activities, resulting in a “negative cash burn,” and there can be no assurance that the amount of Brookfield DTLA’s negative cash burn will decrease, or that it will not increase, in the future. If Brookfield DTLA’s operating cash flow and capital are not sufficient to cover our operating costs or to repay our indebtedness as it comes due, we may issue additional debt and/or equity, including to affiliates of Brookfield DTLA, which issuances could further adversely impact the amount of funds available to Brookfield DTLA for any purpose, including for dividends or other distributions to holders of its capital stock, including the Series A preferred stock. In many cases, such securities may be issued if authorized by board of directors of Brookfield DTLA without the approval of the holders of the Series A preferred stock.

The Series A preferred stock effectively ranks junior to any indebtedness of Brookfield DTLA and its subsidiaries . The Series A preferred stock effectively ranks junior to the indebtedness of Brookfield DTLA or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries. Holders of the Series A preferred stock do not have the right to prevent us from incurring additional indebtedness. As a result, we could become more leveraged, which may increase debt service costs and could adversely affect our cash flows, results of operations and financial condition and the availability of funds for dividends or distributions to holders of Brookfield DTLA’s capital stock, including the Series A preferred stock.

The Series A preferred stock has no stated maturity date, Brookfield DTLA is not obligated to declare and pay dividends on the Series A preferred stock, and Brookfield DTLA may never again declare dividends on the Series A preferred stock . The Series A preferred stock has no stated maturity, and accordingly, could remain outstanding indefinitely. In addition, while the Series A preferred stock will accumulate dividends at the stated rate (whether or not authorized by the board of directors of Brookfield DTLA and declared by the Company), there is no requirement that Brookfield DTLA declare and pay dividends on the Series A preferred stock, and except for a one time dividend of $2.25  per share of Series A preferred stock that was paid in connection with the settlement on a class-wide basis of the litigation brought in Maryland State Court and styled as In re MPG Office Trust Inc. Preferred Shareholder Litigation , Case No. 24-C-13-004097, Brookfield DTLA has not, and may not in the future, declare and pay dividends on the Series A preferred stock. See Item 3 “Legal Proceedings—Merger‑Related Litigation.” Furthermore, because of the projected cash needs of the Company, arising in significant part from the funds needed to complete the refinancing of the existing mortgage loan on Wells Fargo Center–North Tower, the Company currently anticipates that it will receive no substantial distributions from New OP for a period of at least five years, unless the Company or DTLA OP changes its current plans and determines to sell one or more of its real property assets prior to such time. The Company’s refinancing and operating plans and this estimate are subject to change based on many factors, including market conditions in applicable debt, equity and leasing markets. See “—Factors That May Affect Future Results” above.

Table of Contents

Brookfield DTLA’s ability to pay dividends is limited by the requirements of Maryland law . Brookfield DTLA’s ability to pay dividends on the Series A preferred stock is limited by the laws of the State of Maryland. Under the Maryland General Corporation Law (“MGCL”), a Maryland corporation generally may not make a distribution if, after giving effect to the distribution, the corporation would not be able to pay its debts as the debts become due in the usual course of business or the corporation’s total assets would be less than the sum of its total liabilities plus all prior liquidation preferences (unless the charter of the corporation provides otherwise). Accordingly, with limited exception, Brookfield DTLA may not make a distribution (including a dividend payment or redemption) on the Series A preferred stock if, after giving effect to the distribution, Brookfield DTLA may not be able to pay its debts as they become due in the usual course of business or total assets would be less than the sum of Brookfield DTLA’s total liabilities plus prior liquidation preferences, if any. Due to the foregoing limitations, there can be no assurance that, if Brookfield DTLA desires to declare and pay dividends in the future, that it would be legally permissible for it to do so.

There was no established trading market for shares of the Series A preferred stock at the time of issuance and the shares may be delisted and deregistered in the future . The Series A preferred stock was issued in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and there was no established trading market for the shares of Series A preferred stock.

Although the Series A preferred stock is currently registered under the Exchange Act and listed on the New York Stock Exchange, we expect that Brookfield DTLA may apply for delisting of the Series A preferred stock in the future provided the requirements for delisting are met. If the Series A preferred stock is delisted, the market for the shares of Series A preferred stock could be adversely affected, though price quotations for the shares of Series A preferred stock might still be available from other sources. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, the registration may be terminated if the shares are not listed on a national securities exchange and there are fewer than 300 holders. The extent of the public market for the Series A preferred stock and availability of such quotations would depend upon such factors as the number of holders and/or the aggregate market value of the publicly held shares of Series A preferred stock at such time, the interest in maintaining a market in the Series A preferred stock on the part of securities firms, the possible termination of registration of the Series A preferred stock under the Exchange Act and other factors. Termination of registration would substantially reduce the information required to be furnished to holders of Series A preferred stock.

Brookfield DTLA’s charter contains provisions that may delay, defer or prevent transactions that may be beneficial to the holders of the Company Series A preferred stock . Brookfield DTLA’s charter contains provisions that are intended to, among other purposes, assist it in qualifying as a REIT. The charter provides that subject to certain exceptions, including exemptions that may be granted by the board of directors of Brookfield DTLA under certain circumstances, no person or entity may beneficially own or constructively own more than 9.8% (by value or by number of shares, whichever is more restrictive) of the outstanding shares of Brookfield DTLA’s common stock or Series A preferred stock. Any attempt to own or transfer shares of Brookfield DTLA’s common stock or Series A preferred stock in excess of the applicable ownership limit without the consent of the board of directors of Brookfield DTLA either will result in the shares being transferred by operation of the charter to a charitable trust, and the person who attempted to acquire such shares

will not have any rights in such shares, or in the transfer being void. These restrictions on transferability and ownership will not apply if the board of directors of Brookfield DTLA determines that it is no longer in our best interests to attempt to qualify, or to continue to qualify, as a REIT or if the board of directors of Brookfield DTLA determines that such restrictions are no longer necessary to maintain REIT status. The ownership limit may delay or impede a transaction or a change in control that might be in the best interests of the Brookfield DTLA’s stockholders, including the holders of the Series A preferred stock.

Brookfield DTLA may authorize and issue capital stock without the approval of holders of the Series A preferred stock . While Brookfield DTLA may not, without a vote of the holders of the Series A preferred stock, authorize, create, issue or increase the authorized or issued amount of any class of capital stock ranking senior to the Series A preferred stock with respect to payment of dividends or the distribution of assets upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of Brookfield DTLA, its charter authorizes the board of directors of Brookfield DTLA, without any action by its stockholders, to (i) amend the charter to increase or decrease the aggregate number of shares of stock or the number of shares of stock of any class or series that Brookfield DTLA has the authority to issue, (ii) issue authorized but unissued shares of common stock or Series A preferred stock, and (iii) classify or reclassify any unissued shares of common stock or Series A preferred stock and to set the preferences, rights and other terms of such classified or unclassified shares. There can be no assurance that the board of directors of Brookfield DTLA will not establish additional classes and/or series of capital stock that would delay, defer or prevent a transaction that may be in the best interests of its stockholders, including the holders of the Series A preferred stock.

Holders of Series A preferred stock have limited voting rights . Brookfield DTLA Holdings owns 100% of the outstanding shares of the common stock and controls 100% of the aggregate voting power of its capital stock, except that holders of the Series A preferred stock have voting rights, under certain circumstances, (1) to elect two preferred directors to the board of directors of Brookfield DTLA (referred to as preferred directors) and (2) with respect to (i) the creation of additional classes or series of preferred stock that are senior to the Series A preferred stock and (ii) an amendment of its charter (whether by merger, consolidation, transfer or conveyance of all or substantially all of our assets or otherwise) that would materially adversely affect the rights of holders of Series A preferred stock. By virtue of their limited voting rights, holders of Series A preferred stock have limited control over the outcome of any corporate transaction or other matters that Brookfield DTLA confronts.

Certain provisions of Maryland law could inhibit changes in control . Certain provisions of the MGCL may have the effect of inhibiting a third party from making a proposal to acquire us or of impeding a change in control under circumstances that otherwise could be in the best interests of Brookfield DTLA’s stockholders, including: (1) “business combination” provisions that, subject to limitations, prohibit certain business combinations between Brookfield DTLA and an “interested stockholder” (defined generally as any person who beneficially owns 10% or more of the voting power of the outstanding voting stock of Brookfield DTLA or any affiliate or associate who, at any time within the two-year period prior to the date in question, was the beneficial owner of 10% or more of the voting power of the then outstanding stock of Brookfield DTLA) or an affiliate thereof for five years after the most recent date on which the stockholder becomes an interested stockholder, and thereafter imposes special appraisal rights and supermajority stockholder voting requirements on these combinations; and (2) “control share” provisions that provide that a holder of “control shares” of Brookfield DTLA (defined as shares that, when aggregated with other shares controlled by the stockholder except solely by virtue of a revocable proxy, entitle the stockholder to exercise one of three increasing ranges of voting power in electing directors) acquired in a “control share acquisition” (defined as the direct or indirect acquisition of ownership or control of issued and outstanding “control shares”) has no voting rights with respect to such shares except to the extent approved by Brookfield DTLA’s stockholders by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of all the votes entitled to be cast on the matter, excluding all interested shares. Brookfield DTLA has opted out of these provisions of the MGCL, in the case of the business combination provisions of the MGCL by resolution of the board of directors of Brookfield DTLA, and in the case of the control share provisions of the MGCL pursuant to a provision in its bylaws. However, the board of directors of Brookfield DTLA may by resolution elect to opt in to the business combination provisions of the MGCL and Brookfield DTLA may, by amendment to its bylaws, opt in to the control share provisions of the MGCL in the future. In addition, provided that Brookfield DTLA has a class of equity securities registered under the Exchange Act and at least three independent directors, Subtitle 8 of Title 3 of the MGCL permits Brookfield DTLA to elect to be subject, by provision in its charter or bylaws or a resolution of the board of directors of Brookfield DTLA and notwithstanding any contrary provision in the charter or bylaws, to certain provisions, including, among other provisions, a classified board of directors and a requirement that a vacancy on the board of directors be filled only by the remaining directors and for the remainder of the full term of the class of directors in which the vacancy occurred. Brookfield DTLA’s charter and bylaws and the MGCL also contain other provisions that may delay, defer or prevent a transaction or a change in control that might otherwise be in the best interests of its stockholders, including the holders of the Series A preferred stock.

BPO controls the management and operation of Brookfield DTLA . Brookfield DTLA is managed by BPO through a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of BPO formed for such purpose (“BPO Manager”). BPO, through its ownership interest in BPO Manager and Brookfield DTLA, controls Brookfield DTLA, including the power to vote to elect all members of the board of directors (other than the preferred directors). By virtue of BPO’s control of and substantial ownership in Brookfield DTLA, BPO has significant influence over the outcome of any corporate transaction or other matters that Brookfield DTLA confronts. Subject to any limitations contained in Brookfield DTLA’s charter, bylaws or as may be required by applicable law, holders of the Series A preferred stock will be unable to block any such matter in their capacity as stockholders or through their representation under certain circumstances, if any, by up to two directors on the board of directors (which directors are not a majority of the members comprising the board of directors).

There may be conflicts of interest in Brookfield DTLA’s relationship with BPO and its affiliates . Brookfield DTLA and its subsidiaries and DTLA OP have entered into agreements with affiliates of BPO pursuant to which such affiliates serve as service providers with respect to the properties that these companies own. These services include property management and various other services. In consideration for the services provided under these agreements, BPO’s affiliates are paid fees by Brookfield DTLA and its subsidiaries and DTLA OP. In addition, affiliates of BPO may enter into additional agreements, including additional service agreements, with Brookfield DTLA and its subsidiaries and DTLA OP. There can be no assurance that these agreements will be made on terms that will be at least as favorable to Brookfield DTLA and its subsidiaries and DTLA OP as those that could have been obtained in an arm’s length transaction between parties that are not affiliated. Accordingly, these agreements may involve conflicts between the interest of BPO’s affiliate, on the one hand, and Brookfield DTLA and its subsidiaries and DTLA OP, on the other hand.

Members of Brookfield DTLA’s management team have competing duties to other entities . Brookfield DTLA’s executive officers do not spend all of their time managing its activities and real estate portfolio. Many of Brookfield DTLA’s executive officers allocate most of their time to other businesses and activities. For example, each of Brookfield DTLA’s executive officers is also an employee of BPO or one of its affiliates. None of these individuals is required to devote a specific amount of time to Brookfield DTLA’s affairs. Accordingly, Brookfield DTLA competes with BPO, its affiliates and possibly other entities for the time and attention of these officers.

COMPANY AND REAL ESTATE INDUSTRY RISKS

Brookfield DTLA’s current strategy is to own and invest in commercial properties primarily in the LACBD that are of a high-quality, determined by management’s view of the certainty of receiving rental payments generated by the tenants of those assets. However, Brookfield DTLA is subject to various risks specific to its portfolio, the geographies in which it operates and where its properties are located and those inherent in the commercial property business generally. In evaluating Brookfield DTLA and its business, the following challenges, uncertainties and risks should be considered in addition to the other information contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K:

Brookfield DTLA’s economic performance and the value of its real estate assets are subject to the risks incidental to the ownership and operation of real estate properties . Brookfield DTLA’s economic performance, the value of its real estate assets and, therefore, the value of the Series A preferred stock, is subject to the risks normally associated with the ownership and operation of real estate properties, including but not limited to: downturns and trends in the national, regional and local economic conditions where our properties are located; global economic conditions; the cyclical nature of the real estate industry; adverse economic or real estate developments in Southern California, particularly in the LACBD; local real estate market conditions such as an oversupply of office properties, including space available by sublease, or a reduction in demand for such properties; our liquidity situation, including our failure to obtain additional capital or extend or refinance debt maturities on favorable terms or at all; changes in interest rates and the availability of financing; competition from other properties; changes in market rental rates and our ability to rent space on favorable terms; the bankruptcy, insolvency, credit deterioration or other default of our tenants; the need to periodically renovate, repair and re-lease space and the costs thereof; our failure to qualify as and to maintain our status as a REIT or the status of certain of our subsidiaries as REITs; increases in maintenance, insurance and operating costs; civil disturbances, earthquakes and other natural

disasters, or terrorist acts or acts of war which may result in uninsured or underinsured losses; a decrease in the attractiveness of our properties to tenants; a decrease in the underlying value of our properties; and certain significant expenditures, including property taxes, maintenance costs, mortgage payments, insurance costs and related charges that must be made regardless of whether or not a property is producing sufficient income to service these expenses.

The results of our business and our financial condition are significantly dependent on the economic conditions and demand for office space in southern California . All of Brookfield DTLA’s properties are located in Los Angeles County, California in the LACBD, which may expose us to greater economic risks than if most of our properties were located in a different geographic region or more geographic regions. Moreover, because our portfolio of properties consists primarily of office buildings, a decrease in the demand for office space (especially Class A office space), particularly in the LACBD, may have a greater adverse effect on our business and financial condition than if we owned a more diversified real estate portfolio. We are susceptible to adverse developments in the markets for office space, particularly in Southern California. Such adverse developments could include oversupply of or reduced demand for office space; declines in property values; business layoffs, downsizings, relocations or industry slowdowns affecting tenants of our properties; changing demographics; increased telecommuting; terrorist targeting of or acts of war against high-rise structures; infrastructure quality; California state budgetary constraints and priorities; increases in real estate and other taxes; costs of complying with state, local and federal government regulations or increased regulation and other factors. In addition, the State of California is generally regarded as more litigious and more highly regulated and taxed than many other U.S. states, which may adversely impact the market, including the demand for, office space in California. There can be no assurance as to the growth of the southern California or the national economy or our future growth rate.

U.S. economic conditions are uncertain . In particular, volatility in the U.S. and international capital markets and the condition of the California economy may adversely affect our liquidity and financial condition, as well as the liquidity and financial condition of tenants in our properties.

Brookfield DTLA’s inability to enter into renewal or new leases on favorable terms for all or a substantial portion of space that will be subject to expiring leases would adversely affect our cash flows, operating results and financial condition . Our income-producing properties generate revenue through rental payments made by tenants of the properties. Upon the expiry of any lease, there can be no assurance that the lease will be renewed or the tenant replaced. The terms of any lease renewal or extension, or of any new lease for such space may be less favorable to us than the existing lease, and may be less favorable to us than prevailing market terms for similar leases in the relevant market. We would be adversely affected, in particular, if any significant tenant ceases to be a tenant and cannot be replaced on similar or better terms or at all.

Table of Contents

Competition may adversely affect Brookfield DTLA’s ability to lease available space in its properties . Other developers, managers and owners of office properties compete with us in seeking tenants. Some of the properties of our competitors may be newer, better located or better capitalized than the properties we own. These competing properties may have vacancy rates higher than our properties, which may result in their owners being willing to make space available at lower prices than the space in our properties, particularly if there is an oversupply of space available in the market. Competition for tenants could have an adverse effect on our ability to lease our properties and on the rents that we may charge or concessions that we may grant. If our competitors adversely impact our ability to lease our properties, our cash flows, operating results and financial condition may suffer.

Our ability to realize our strategies and capitalize on our competitive strengths will depend on our ability to effectively operate our properties, maintain good relationships with tenants and remain well capitalized, and our failure to do any of the foregoing could adversely affect our ability to compete effectively in the markets in which we do business.

Reliance on significant tenants could adversely affect Brookfield DTLA’s operating results and financial condition . Many of our properties are occupied by one or more significant tenants and our revenues from those properties are materially dependent on the creditworthiness and financial stability of those tenants. Our business would be adversely affected if any of those tenants failed to renew certain of their significant leases, became insolvent, declared bankruptcy or otherwise refused to pay rent in a timely fashion or at all. In the event of a default by one or more of our significant tenants, we may experience delays in enforcing our rights as landlord and may incur substantial costs in protecting our investment and re-leasing the property. If a lease with a significant tenant is terminated, it may be difficult, costly and time consuming to attract new tenants and lease the property for the rent and on terms as favorable as the previous lease or at all.

Brookfield DTLA could be adversely impacted by tenant defaults, bankruptcies or insolvencies . A tenant of our properties may experience a downturn in its business, which could cause the loss of that tenant or weaken its financial condition and result in the tenant’s inability to make rental payments when due or, for retail tenants, a reduction in percentage rent payable. If a tenant defaults, we may experience delays and incur costs in enforcing our rights as landlord and protecting our investments. If any tenant becomes a debtor in a case under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, we cannot evict a tenant solely because of its bankruptcy. In addition, the bankruptcy court may authorize a tenant to reject and terminate its lease. In such a case, our claim against the tenant for unpaid, future rent would be subject to a statutory cap that might be substantially less than the remaining rent owed under the lease. In any event, it is unlikely that a bankrupt or insolvent tenant will pay in full the amounts it owes under a lease. The loss of rental payments from tenants and costs of re-leasing would adversely affect our cash flows, operating results and financial condition. In the event of a significant number of lease defaults and/or tenant bankruptcies, our cash flow may not be sufficient to meet all of our obligations and liabilities or to make distributions to Brookfield DTLA stockholders, including holders of the Series A preferred stock.

There are numerous risks associated with the use of debt to finance our business, including refinancing risk . Brookfield DTLA incurs debt in the ordinary course of its business and therefore is subject to the risks associated with debt financing. These risks, including the following, may adversely impact our operating results and financial condition: our cash flow may be insufficient to meet required payments of principal and interest; payments of principal and interest on borrowings may leave us with insufficient cash resources to pay operating expenses; we may not be able to refinance indebtedness on our properties at maturity due to business and market factors (including: disruptions and volatility in the capital and credit markets, the estimated cash flow of our properties, and the value (or appraised value) of our properties); financial, competitive, business and other factors, including factors beyond our control; and if refinanced, the terms of a refinancing may not be as favorable to us as the original terms of the related indebtedness. If we are unable to refinance our indebtedness on acceptable terms, or at all, we may need to dispose of one or more of our properties on disadvantageous terms. In addition, prevailing interest rates or other factors at the time of refinancing could increase our interest expense, and if we mortgage property to secure payment of indebtedness and are unable to make mortgage payments, the mortgagee could foreclose upon such property or appoint a receiver to receive an assignment of our rents and leases.

If we are unable to manage our interest rate risk efficiently, our cash flows and operating results may suffer . Some of our indebtedness bears interest at a variable rate and we may in the future incur additional variable-rate indebtedness. In addition, we may be required to refinance our debt at higher rates. There can be no assurance that the benchmarks on which our variable-rate indebtedness is based will not increase or that interest rates available for any refinancing in the future will not be higher than the debt being refinanced. Increases in such rates will increase our interest expense and could have an adverse impact on our cash flows and operating results. In addition, though we will attempt to manage interest rate risk, there can be no assurance that we will hedge such exposure effectively or at all in the future. Accordingly, increases in interest rates above what we anticipate based upon historical trends would adversely affect our cash flows and operating results.

Our substantial indebtedness may adversely affect our operating results and financial condition, and may limit our flexibility to operate our business . Brookfield DTLA currently has aggregate consolidated indebtedness totaling $2.1 billion . After payments of principal and interest on our indebtedness, we may not have sufficient cash resources to operate our properties or meet all of our other obligations. Certain of our indebtedness include lockbox and other cash management provisions, which, under certain circumstances, could limit our ability to utilize available cash flow from the relevant properties. There can be no assurance that terms of debt we incur in the future or modifications to existing debt will not significantly limit our operating and financial flexibility, which may in turn limit our ability to efficiently respond and adapt to changes or competition in our business.

If we are unable to extend, refinance or repay mortgage debt on our properties at maturity, we could default on such debt, which may permit the lenders to foreclose on the applicable property. Proceeds from any disposition of a foreclosed property may not be sufficient to repay the full amount of the underlying debt. If we are unable to extend, refinance or repay our debt as it comes due, our business, financial condition and operating results may be materially and adversely affected. If we are unable to refinance our debt as it matures on acceptable terms, or at all, we may need to dispose of one or more of our properties on disadvantageous terms. Furthermore, even if we are able to obtain extensions on or refinance our existing debt, such extensions or new loans may include operational and financial covenants significantly more restrictive than our current debt covenants and may limit the operation or growth of our business.

Restrictive covenants in indebtedness may limit management’s discretion with respect to certain business matters . Instruments governing our indebtedness may contain restrictive covenants limiting our discretion with respect to certain business matters. These covenants could place significant restrictions on our ability to, among other things, create liens or other encumbrances, pay dividends or make distributions on Brookfield DTLA’s capital stock (including the Series A preferred stock), make certain other payments, investments, loans and guarantees and sell or otherwise dispose of assets and merge or consolidate with another entity. These covenants could also require us to meet certain financial ratios and financial condition tests. Failure to comply with any such covenants could result in a default which, if not cured or waived, could result in acceleration of the relevant indebtedness.

Brookfield DTLA is subject to obligations under certain “non-recourse carve out” guarantees that may be triggered in the future . All of Brookfield DTLA’s $2.1 billion of mortgage debt is subject to “non-recourse carve out” guarantees that expire upon elimination of the underlying loan obligations. In connection with all of these loans, Brookfield DTLA entered into “non-recourse carve out” guarantees, which provide for these otherwise non-recourse loans to become partially or fully recourse against Brookfield DTLA Holdings or one of its subsidiaries, if certain triggering events occur. Although these events differ from loan to loan, some of the common events include: the special purpose property-owning subsidiary of Brookfield DTLA Holdings or Brookfield DTLA Holdings filing a voluntary petition for bankruptcy; the special purpose property-owning subsidiary of Brookfield DTLA Holdings’ failure to maintain its status as a special purpose entity; subject to certain conditions, the special purpose property-owning subsidiary of Brookfield DTLA Holdings’ failure to obtain the lender’s written consent prior to any subordinate financing or other voluntary lien encumbering the associated property; and, subject to certain conditions, the special purpose property-owning subsidiary of Brookfield DTLA Holdings’ failure to obtain the lender’s written consent prior to a transfer or conveyance of the associated property, including, in many cases, indirect transfers in connection with a change in control of Brookfield DTLA Holdings or Brookfield DTLA. In addition, other items that are customarily recourse to a non-recourse carve out guarantor include, but are not limited to, the payment of real property taxes, the breach of representations related to environmental issues or hazardous substances, physical waste of the property, liens which are senior to the mortgage loan and outstanding security deposits.

Increasing utility costs in California may have an adverse effect on our operating results and occupancy levels . The State of California continues to experience issues related to the supply of electricity, water and natural gas. In recent years, shortages of electricity have resulted in increased costs for consumers and certain interruptions in service. Increased consumer costs and consumer perception that the State of California is not able to effectively manage its utility needs may reduce demand for leased space in California office properties. A significant reduction in demand for office space could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

Because real estate investments are illiquid, we may not be able to sell properties when appropriate or desired . Large and high quality office properties like the ones that we own can be hard to sell, especially if local market conditions are poor. Such illiquidity could limit our ability to vary our portfolio promptly in response to changing economic or investment conditions. Additionally, financial difficulties of other property owners resulting in distressed sales could depress real estate values in the market in which we operate in times of illiquidity. These restrictions could reduce our ability to respond to changes in the performance of our investments and could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

Our insurance may not cover some potential losses or may not be obtainable at commercially reasonable rates, which could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations . We maintain insurance on our properties in amounts and with deductibles that we believe are in line with coverage maintained by owners of similar types of properties; however, the insurance we maintain may not cover all potential losses we might experience. There also are certain types of risks (such as war or acts of terrorism, or environmental contamination, such as toxic mold) which are either uninsurable or not economically insurable. Should any uninsured or underinsured loss occur, we could lose our investment in, and anticipated profits and cash flows from, one or more of our properties, and would continue to be obligated to repay any recourse mortgage indebtedness on such properties. Any of these events could adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We are subject to possible environmental liabilities and other possible liabilities . As an owner and manager of real property, we are subject to various laws relating to environmental matters. These laws could hold us liable for the costs of removal and remediation of certain hazardous substances or wastes present in our buildings, released or deposited on or in our properties or disposed of at other locations. These costs could be significant and would reduce cash available for our business. The failure to remove or remediate such substances could adversely affect our ability to sell our properties or our ability to borrow using real estate as collateral, and could potentially result in claims or other proceedings against us.

Other laws and regulations govern indoor and outdoor air quality including those that can require the abatement or removal of ACBM in the event of damage, demolition, renovation or remodeling and also govern emissions of and exposure to asbestos fibers in the air. The maintenance and removal of lead paint and certain electrical equipment containing polychlorinated biphenyls (“PCBs”) and underground storage tanks are also regulated by federal and state laws. We are also subject to risks associated with human exposure to chemical or biological contaminants such as molds, pollens, viruses and bacteria which, above certain levels, can be alleged to be connected to allergic or other health effects and symptoms in susceptible individuals. We could incur fines for environmental compliance and be held liable for the costs of remedial action with respect to the foregoing regulated substances or tanks or related claims arising out of environmental contamination or human exposure to contamination at or from our properties.

If excessive moisture accumulates in our buildings or on our building materials, it may trigger mold growth. Mold may emit airborne toxins or irritants. Inadequate ventilation, chemical contamination and other biological contaminants (including pollen, viruses and bacteria) could also impair indoor air quality at our buildings. Impaired indoor air quality may cause a variety of adverse health effects, such as allergic reactions. If mold or other airborne contaminants exist or appear at our properties, we may have to undertake a costly remediation program to contain or remove the contaminants or increase indoor ventilation. If indoor air quality were impaired, we may have to temporarily relocate some or all of a property’s tenants and could be liable to our tenants, their employees or others for property damage and/or personal injury.

Some of the properties that we own contain ACBM and we could be liable for such fines or penalties. We cannot assure our stockholders, including holders of the Series A preferred stock, that costs of future environmental compliance will not affect our ability to make distributions to our stockholders, including distributions or dividends on the Series A preferred stock, or such that costs or other remedial measures will not have a material adverse effect on our business, assets or results of operations.

In addition, some of the properties that we own contain, or may have contained, or are adjacent to or near other properties that have contained or currently contain, underground storage tanks for the storage of petroleum products or other hazardous or toxic substances. If hazardous or toxic substances were released from these tanks, we could incur significant costs or be liable to third parties with respect to the releases. From time to time, the EPA designates certain sites affected by hazardous substances as “Superfund” sites pursuant to the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act. The EPA identifies parties who are considered to be potentially responsible for the hazardous substances at Superfund sites and makes them liable for the costs of responding to the hazardous substances. The parcel of land on which Glendale Center (a property that was disposed of by MPG during 2012) is located within a large Superfund site and Brookfield DTLA could be named as a potentially responsible party with respect to that site.

Environmental laws and regulations can change rapidly and we may become subject to more stringent environmental laws and regulations in the future. Compliance with more stringent environmental laws and regulations could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Regulations under building codes and human rights codes generally require that public buildings, including office buildings, be made accessible to disabled persons. Non-compliance could result in the imposition of fines by the government or the award of damages to private litigants. If we are required to make substantial alterations and capital expenditures in one or more of our properties to comply with these codes, it could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

We may also incur significant costs complying with other regulations. Our properties are subject to various federal, state, provincial and local regulatory requirements, such as state, and local fire and life safety requirements. If we fail to comply with these requirements, we could incur fines or private damage awards. Existing requirements may change and compliance with future requirements may require significant unanticipated expenditures that could affect our cash flow and results from operations.

Existing conditions at some of our properties may expose us to liability related to environmental matters, which may exceed our environmental insurance coverage limits . Independent environmental consultants have conducted Phase I or other environmental site assessments on all of the properties that we own. Site assessments are intended to discover and evaluate information regarding the environmental condition of the surveyed property and surrounding properties. These assessments do not generally include soil samplings, subsurface investigations or an asbestos survey, and the assessments may fail to reveal all environmental conditions, liabilities or compliance concerns.

In connection with its due diligence of MPG prior to entering into the Merger Agreement, BPO conducted initial environmental tests at certain of MPG’s Downtown Los Angeles properties and found that a widely used commercial building material used in certain of MPG’s Downtown Los Angeles properties contained ACBM. None of the recent site assessments revealed any past or present environmental liability that we believe would have a material adverse effect on our business, assets or results of operations. However, the assessments may have failed to reveal all environmental conditions, liabilities or compliance concerns. Material environmental conditions, liabilities or compliance concerns may have arisen after the review was completed or may arise in the future and future laws, ordinances or regulations may impose material additional environmental liability.

Losses resulting from the breach of our loan document representations related to environmental issues or hazardous substances will generally be recourse to Brookfield DTLA or one of its subsidiaries pursuant to “non-recourse carve out” guarantees and therefore present a risk to Brookfield DTLA should a special purpose property-owning subsidiary of Brookfield DTLA Holdings be unable to cover such a loss. We cannot assure our stockholders that costs of future environmental compliance will not affect our ability to pay dividends or distributions to our stockholders, including on the Series A preferred stock, or such costs or other remedial measures will not have a material adverse effect on our business, assets or results of operations.

We may suffer a significant loss resulting from fraud, other illegal acts or inadequate or failed internal processes or systems . We may suffer a significant loss resulting from fraud or other illegal acts or inadequate or failed internal processes or systems. We rely on our employees to follow our policies and processes as well as applicable laws in their activities. Risk of illegal acts or failed systems are managed through our infrastructure, controls, systems, policies and people, complemented by central groups focusing on enterprise-wide management of specific operational risks such as fraud, trading, outsourcing, and business disruption, as well as people and systems risks. Failure to manage these risks can result in direct or indirect financial loss, reputational impact, regulatory censure or failure in the management of other risks such as credit or market risk.

We may be subject to litigation . In the ordinary course of our business, we expect that we may be subject to litigation from time to time. The outcome of any such proceedings may materially adversely affect us and may continue without resolution for long periods of time. Any litigation may consume substantial amounts of our management’s time and attention, and that time and the devotion of these resources to litigation may, at times, be disproportionate to the amounts at stake in the litigation. The acquisition, ownership and disposition of real property will expose us to certain litigation risks which could result in losses, some of which may be material. Litigation may be commenced with respect to a property we have acquired in relation to activities that took place prior to our acquisition of such property. In addition, at the time of disposition of an individual property, a potential buyer who is passed over in favor of another buyer as part of our efforts to maximize sale proceeds may claim that it should have been afforded the opportunity to purchase the asset or alternatively that such buyer should be awarded due diligence expenses incurred or statutory damages for misrepresentation relating to disclosures made. Similarly, successful buyers may later sue us for losses associated with latent defects or other problems not uncovered in due diligence. We may also be exposed to litigation resulting from the activities of our tenants or their customers.

Our future results may suffer if we are unable to effectively manage our real estate portfolio . Our future success will depend, in part, upon our ability to manage and successfully monitor our operations, costs, regulatory compliance and service quality, and maintain other necessary internal controls.

Future terrorist attacks in the United States could harm the demand for and the value of our properties . Future terrorist attacks in the U.S., such as the attacks that occurred in New York City and Washington, D.C. on September 11, 2001, and other acts of terrorism or war could harm the demand for and the value of our properties. Certain of the properties we own are well-known landmarks and may be perceived as more likely terrorist targets than similar, less recognizable properties, which could potentially reduce the demand for and value of these properties. A decrease in demand or value could make it difficult for us to renew leases or re-lease space at lease rates equal to or above historical rates or then-prevailing market rates or to refinance indebtedness related to our properties. Terrorist attacks also could directly impact the value of our properties through damage, destruction, loss or increased security costs, and the availability of insurance for such acts may be limited or more costly. Five of Brookfield DTLA’s properties are located within the Bunker Hill area of Downtown Los Angeles. Because these properties are located so closely together, a terrorist attack on any one of these properties, or in the Downtown Los Angeles or Bunker Hill areas generally, could materially damage, destroy or impair the use by tenants of one or more of these properties. To the extent that our tenants are impacted by future attacks, their ability to continue to honor obligations under their existing leases with us could be adversely affected. Additionally, certain tenants will have termination rights or purchase options in respect of certain casualties.

Climate change may adversely impact our operations and markets . There is significant concern from members of the scientific community and the general public that an increase in global average temperatures due to emissions of greenhouse gases and other human activities have or will cause significant changes in weather patterns and increase the frequency and severity of climate stress events. Climate change, including the impact of global warming, creates physical and financial risk. Physical risks from climate change include an increase in sea level and changes in weather conditions, such as an increase in intense precipitation and extreme heat events, as well as tropical and non-tropical storms. The occurrence of one or more natural disasters, such as hurricanes, fires, floods and earthquakes (whether or not caused by climate change), could cause considerable damage to our properties, disrupt our operations and negatively impact our financial performance. To the extent these events result in significant damage to or closure of one or more of our buildings, our operations and financial performance could be adversely affected through lost tenants and an inability to lease or re-lease the space. In addition, these events could result in significant expenses to restore or remediate a property, increases in fuel (or other energy) prices or a fuel shortage and increases in the costs of insurance if they result in significant loss of property or other insurable damage.

If we are unable to recover from a business disruption on a timely basis, our financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected . Our business may be vulnerable to damages from any number of sources, including computer viruses, unauthorized access, energy blackouts, natural disasters, terrorism, war and telecommunication failures. Any system failure or accident that causes interruptions in our operations could result in a material disruption to our business. If we are unable to recover from a business disruption on a timely basis, our financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected. We may also incur additional costs to remedy damages caused by such disruptions.

TAX RISKS

Failure to maintain our status as a REIT could have significant adverse consequences to us, our ability to make distributions and the value of our stock, including the Series A preferred stock. To qualify as a REIT, Brookfield DTLA must satisfy a number of asset, income, organizational, operational, dividend distribution, stock ownership and other requirements on an ongoing basis. However, qualification as a REIT involves the application of highly technical and complex provisions of the Code, for which only a limited number of judicial and administrative interpretations exist. Even an inadvertent or technical mistake could jeopardize our REIT qualification. Our qualification as a REIT depends on the satisfaction of certain asset, income, organizational, distribution, stockholder ownership and other requirements on a continuing basis.

Our ability to qualify as a REIT will depend on the ability of certain of our subsidiaries that own our commercial property assets to individually satisfy the asset, income, organizational, distribution, stockholder ownership and other requirements discussed above on a continuing basis. Whether these subsidiaries will be able to qualify for taxation as REITs, and therefore whether we will be able to qualify, is a question of fact.

Brookfield DTLA has elected to be taxed as a REIT pursuant to Sections 856 through 860 of the Code, commencing with its tax period ended December 31, 2013. Brookfield DTLA conducts and intends to conduct its operations so as to continue to qualify as a REIT.

Moreover, new tax legislation, administrative guidance or court decisions, in each instance potentially applicable with retroactive effect, could make it more difficult or impossible for us to qualify as a REIT.

If Brookfield DTLA fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, it will be subject to federal and state income tax on its taxable income at regular corporate tax rates, and it may be ineligible to qualify as a REIT for four subsequent tax years. Brookfield DTLA may also be subject to certain state or local income taxes, or franchise taxes on its REIT activities. Any such corporate tax liability could be substantial and would reduce the amount of cash available for investment, debt service and distribution to holders of our stock, which in turn could have an adverse effect on the value of our stock. Distributions to our stockholders if we fail to qualify as a REIT will not be deductible by us, nor will they be required to be made (unless required by the terms of our governing documents). In such event, to the extent of current and accumulated earnings and profits, all distributions to stockholders will be taxable as dividends (whether or not attributable to capital gains of the Company). Subject to certain limitations in the Code, corporate distributees may be eligible for the dividends received deduction. Dividends paid to non-corporate U.S. holders that constitute qualified dividend income will be eligible for taxation at the preferential rates applicable to long-term capital gains, provided certain conditions are met. As a result of all these factors, our failure to qualify as a REIT could impair our business and operating strategies and adversely affect the value of our stock and our ability to make distributions on our stock, including, in each case, the Series A preferred stock.

We may incur other tax liabilities that could reduce our cash flows . We may be subject to certain federal, state and local taxes on our income and assets including, but not limited to, taxes on any undistributed income and property and transfer taxes. In order to avoid federal corporate income tax on our earnings, each year we must distribute to holders of our stock, including holders of the Series A preferred stock, at least 90% of our REIT taxable income, determined before the deductions for dividends paid and excluding any net capital gain. To the extent that we satisfy this distribution requirement, but distribute less than 100% of our taxable income and net capital gain, we will be subject to federal corporate income tax on our undistributed REIT taxable income and net capital gain. In addition, we will be subject to a 4% nondeductible excise tax if the actual amount that we distribute to holders of our stock, including holders of the Series A preferred stock, in a calendar year is less than a minimum amount specified under the Code. Any of these taxes would decrease cash available for distributions to holders of our stock, including holders of the Series A preferred stock, and lower distributions of cash could adversely affect the value of the Series A preferred stock.

Dividends payable by REITs do not qualify for the reduced tax rates available for some dividends . Certain dividends known as qualified dividends currently are subject to the same tax rates as long-term capital gains, which are lower than rates for ordinary income. Dividends payable by REITs, however, generally are not eligible for such reduced rates. The more favorable rates applicable to regular corporate qualified dividends could cause investors who are individuals, trusts and estates to perceive investments in REITs to be relatively less attractive than investments in the stocks of non-REIT corporations that pay dividends, which could adversely affect the value of our stock, including the Series A preferred stock.

You may be deemed to receive a taxable distribution without the receipt of any cash or property . Under Section 305(c) of the Code, holders of Brookfield DTLA Series A preferred stock may be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as receiving constructive distributions if the “issue price” of the Series A preferred stock is lower than the redemption price of such Series A preferred stock. If the redemption price exceeds the issue price and, based on all the facts and circumstances as of the date of issuance, redemption pursuant to Brookfield DTLA’s right to redeem is more likely than not to occur, then a holder of Series A preferred stock will be deemed to receive a series of constructive distributions of stock in the total amount of such excess, so long as the amount by which the redemption price exceeds the issue price is not de minimis . These constructive distributions will be deemed to be made to such holders in increasing amounts (on a constant-yield basis) during the period from the date of issuance to the date on which it is most likely that the Series A preferred stock will be redeemed, based on all of the facts and circumstances as of the issue date. In addition, constructive distributions could arise in other circumstances as well. In the event a holder of Series A preferred stock receives a constructive distribution, such holder may incur U.S. federal income tax liability with respect to such constructive distribution without receiving any corresponding distribution of cash with which to pay such taxes.

Applicable REIT laws may restrict certain business activities . As a REIT, we are subject to various restrictions on the types of income we can earn, assets we can own and activities in which we can engage. Business activities that could be impacted by applicable REIT laws include, but are not limited to, activities such as developing alternative uses of real estate, including the development and/or sale of properties. To qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, we must satisfy certain asset, income, organizational, distribution, stockholder ownership and other requirements on a continuing basis. In order to meet these tests, we may be required to forgo investments we might otherwise make. Thus, our compliance with the REIT requirements may hinder our business and operating strategies, financial condition and results of operations.

We will participate in transactions and make tax calculations for which the ultimate tax determination may be uncertain . We will participate in many transactions and make tax calculations during the course of our business for which the ultimate tax determination will be uncertain. While we believe we maintain provisions for uncertain tax positions that appropriately reflect our risk, these provisions are made using estimates of the amounts expected to be paid based on a qualitative assessment of several factors. It is possible that liabilities associated with one or more transactions may exceed our provisions due to audits by, or litigation with, relevant taxing authorities which may materially affect our financial condition and results of operations.

Lease Terms

Brookfield DTLA’s properties are typically leased to high credit-rated tenants for terms ranging from five to ten years, although we also enter into some short-term as well as some longer-term leases. Our leases usually require the purchase of a minimum number of monthly parking spaces at the property and in many cases contain provisions permitting tenants to renew expiring leases at prevailing market rates. Most of our leases are either triple net or modified gross leases. Triple net and modified gross leases are those in which tenants pay not only base rent but also some or all real estate taxes and operating expenses of the leased property. Tenants typically reimburse us the full direct cost, without regard to a base year or expense stop, for use of lighting, heating and air conditioning during non-business hours, and for a certain number of parking spaces. We are generally responsible for structural repairs.

Annualized rent represents the annualized monthly contractual rent under existing leases as of the date indicated. This amount reflects total base rent before any rent abatements as of the date indicated and is shown on a net basis; thus, for any tenant under a partial gross lease, the expense stop, or under a fully gross lease, the current year operating expenses (which may be estimates as of such date), are subtracted from gross rent. Total abatements for leases in effect as of December 31, 2016 for the twelve months ending December 31, 2017 are approximately $11.5 million , or $1.73  per leased square foot. Total abatements for leases in effect as of December 31, 2015 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2016 were approximately $14.9 million , or $2.32  per leased square foot. Total abatements for leases in effect as of December 31, 2014 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015 were approximately $13.3 million , or $2.14  per leased square foot.

Annualized rent represents the annualized monthly contractual rent under existing leases as of December 31, 2016 . This amount reflects total base rent before any rent abatements as of December 31, 2016 and is shown on a net basis; thus, for any tenant under a partial gross lease, the expense stop, or under a fully gross lease, the current year operating expenses (which may be estimates as of such date), are subtracted from gross rent. Total abatements for leases in effect as of December 31, 2016 for the twelve months ending December 31, 2017 are approximately $11.5 million , or $1.73  per leased square foot.
(2)
Current rent per leased square foot represents current base rent, divided by total leased square feet as of the same date.
(3)
Rent per leased square foot at expiration represents base rent, including any future rent steps, and thus represents the base rent that will be in place at lease expiration.

Item 3.
Legal Proceedings.

General

Brookfield DTLA and its subsidiaries may be subject to pending legal proceedings and litigation incidental to its business. After consultation with legal counsel, management believes that any liability that may potentially result upon resolution of such matters is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition or consolidated financial statements as a whole.

Merger-Related Litigation

Following the announcement of the execution of the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of April 24, 2013, as amended (the “Merger Agreement”), seven  putative class actions were filed against Brookfield Office Properties Inc. (“BPO”), Brookfield DTLA, Brookfield DTLA Holdings LLC, Brookfield DTLA Fund Office Trust Inc., Brookfield DTLA Fund Properties (collectively, the “Brookfield Parties”), MPG Office Trust, Inc., MPG Office, L.P., and the members of MPG Office Trust, Inc.’s board of directors. Five of these lawsuits were filed on behalf of MPG Office Trust, Inc.’s common stockholders: (i)  two  lawsuits, captioned Coyne v. MPG Office Trust, Inc., et al ., No. BC507342 (the “Coyne Action”), and Masih v. MPG Office Trust, Inc., et al. , No. BC507962 (the “Masih Action”), were filed in the Superior Court of the State of California in Los Angeles County (the “California State Court”) on April 29, 2013 and May 3, 2013, respectively; and (ii)  three  lawsuits, captioned Kim v. MPG Office Trust, Inc. et al ., No. 24‑C-13-002600 (the “Kim Action”), Perkins v. MPG Office Trust, Inc., et al. , No. 24-C-13-002778 (the “Perkins Action”) and Dell’Osso v. MPG Office Trust, Inc., et al., No. 24‑C-13-003283 (the “Dell’Osso Action”) were filed in the Circuit Court for Baltimore City, Maryland on May 1, 2013, May 8, 2013 and May 22, 2013, respectively (collectively, the “Common Stock Actions”). Two  lawsuits, captioned Cohen v. MPG Office Trust, Inc. et al. , No. 24-C-13-004097 (the “Cohen Action”) and Donlan v. Weinstein, et al ., No. 24‑C-13-004293 (the “Donlan Action”), were filed on behalf of MPG Office Trust, Inc.’s preferred stockholders in the Circuit Court for Baltimore City, Maryland on June 20, 2013 and July 2, 2013, respectively (collectively, the “Preferred Stock Actions”).

In each of the Common Stock Actions, the plaintiffs allege, among other things, that MPG Office Trust, Inc.’s board of directors breached their fiduciary duties in connection with the merger by failing to maximize the value of MPG Office Trust, Inc. and ignoring or failing to protect against conflicts of interest, and that the relevant Brookfield Parties named as defendants aided and abetted those breaches of fiduciary duty. The Kim Action further alleges that MPG Office, L.P. also aided and abetted the breaches of fiduciary duty by MPG Office Trust, Inc.’s board of directors, and the Dell’Osso Action further alleges that MPG Office Trust, Inc. and MPG Office, L.P. aided and abetted the breaches of fiduciary duty by MPG Office Trust, Inc.’s board of directors. On June 4, 2013, the Kim and Perkins plaintiffs filed identical, amended complaints in the Circuit Court for Baltimore City, Maryland. On June 5, 2013, the Masih plaintiffs also filed an amended complaint in the Superior Court of the State of California in Los Angeles County. The three  amended complaints, as well as the Dell’Osso Action complaint, allege that the preliminary proxy statement filed by MPG Office Trust, Inc. with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 21, 2013 is false and/or misleading because it fails to include certain details of the process leading up to the merger and fails to provide adequate information concerning MPG Office Trust, Inc.’s financial advisors.

In each of the Preferred Stock Actions, which were brought on behalf of MPG Office Trust, Inc.’s preferred stockholders, the plaintiffs allege, among other things, that, by entering into the Merger Agreement and tender offer, MPG Office Trust, Inc. breached the Articles Supplementary, which governs the issuance of the MPG preferred shares, that MPG Office Trust, Inc.’s board of directors breached their fiduciary duties by agreeing to a merger agreement that violated the preferred stockholders’ contractual rights and that the relevant Brookfield Parties named as defendants aided and abetted those breaches of contract and fiduciary duty. On July 15, 2013, the plaintiffs in the Preferred Stock Actions filed a joint amended complaint in the Circuit Court for Baltimore City, Maryland that further alleged that MPG Office Trust, Inc.’s board of directors failed to disclose material information regarding BPO’s extension of the tender offer.

The plaintiffs in the seven  lawsuits sought an injunction against the merger, rescission or rescissory damages in the event the merger was consummated, an award of fees and costs, including attorneys’ and experts’ fees, and other relief.

On July 10, 2013, solely to avoid the costs, risks and uncertainties inherent in litigation, the Brookfield Parties and the other named defendants in the Common Stock Actions signed a memorandum of understanding, regarding a proposed settlement of all claims asserted therein. The parties subsequently entered into a stipulation of settlement dated November 21, 2013 providing for the release of all asserted claims, additional disclosures by MPG concerning the merger made prior to the merger’s approval, and the payment, by the defendants, of an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses in an amount not to exceed $475,000 . After a hearing on June 4, 2014, the California State Court granted plaintiffs’ motion for final approval of the settlement, and entered a Final Order and Judgment, awarding the plaintiffs’ counsel’s attorneys’ fees and expenses in the amount of $475,000 , which was paid by MPG Office LLC on June 18, 2014.

Table of Contents

In the Preferred Stock Actions, at a hearing on July 24, 2013, the Maryland State Court denied the plaintiffs’ motion for preliminary injunction seeking to enjoin the tender offer. The plaintiffs filed a second amended complaint on November 22, 2013 that added additional arguments in support of their allegations that the new preferred shares do not have the same rights as the MPG preferred shares. The defendants moved to dismiss the second amended complaint on December 20, 2013, and briefing on the motion concluded on February 28, 2014. At a hearing on June 18, 2014, the Maryland State Court heard oral arguments on the defendants’ motion to dismiss and reserved judgment on the decision. On October 21, 2014, the parties sent a joint letter to the Maryland State Court stating that since the June 18 meeting the parties have commenced discussions towards a possible resolution of the lawsuit, requesting that the court temporarily refrain from deciding the pending motion to dismiss to facilitate the discussions.

On March 30, 2015, the plaintiff in the Cohen Action and the defendants entered into a memorandum of understanding setting forth an agreement in principle to settle the Preferred Stock Actions on a class-wide basis and dismiss the case with prejudice in exchange for the payment of $2.25  per share of Series A preferred stock of accumulated and unpaid dividends (the “Dividend Payment”) to holders of record on a record date to be set after final approval of the settlement by the Maryland State Court, plus any attorneys’ fees awarded by the Maryland State Court to the plaintiff’s counsel. The dividend would reduce the amount of accumulated and unpaid dividends on the Series A preferred stock, and the terms of the Series A preferred stock would otherwise remain unchanged.

On August 18, 2015, the Maryland State Court entered an order preliminarily approving the settlement and scheduling a final fairness hearing for October 27, 2015. On September 28, 2015, the plaintiff filed a motion for final certification of the settlement class, final approval of the class action settlement and approval of attorneys’ fees and reimbursement of expenses, seeking a total fee and expense award of $5,250,000 . The defendants submitted their opposition to the plaintiff’s fee application on October 13, 2015.

On October 16, 2015, the plaintiff filed a motion seeking discovery related to the valuation of the Dividend Payment in connection with its fee application and served related discovery requests on the defendants. On October 23, 2015, the defendants filed their opposition to that motion, as well as a motion for a protective order precluding discovery. On October 27, 2015, the Maryland State Court held a hearing to decide whether to grant final approval of the settlement and to rule on the parties’ discovery motions. At the hearing, the Court ordered limited discovery to occur prior to ruling on the fee application.

On October 28, 2015, the Maryland State Court issued an order granting final approval of the settlement. The time to appeal the order expired on November 30, 2015 without any appeals having been filed. On December 4, 2015 , in accordance with the final approval order and the terms of the parties’ settlement agreement, the board of directors declared a cash dividend of $2.25  per share to holders of record of its Series A preferred stock at the close of business on December 15, 2015 . On January 4, 2016 , Brookfield DTLA paid the Dividend Payment totaling $21.9 million using cash on hand.

On December 16, 2015, after taking certain limited discovery permitted by the Maryland State Court during the October 27 hearing, the plaintiff served the defendants with its reply memorandum of law in support of its motion for attorneys’ fees and expenses. That same day, the plaintiff requested that the Court permit it to file the reply memorandum and an exhibit thereto under seal given the confidential nature of the information contained therein. On December 17, 2015, the plaintiff provided the Court with plaintiff’s counsel’s time records for the Court’s in camera review. On January 15, 2016, the defendants filed a surreply to the plaintiff’s reply memorandum after obtaining the Court’s permission to do so. After a hearing on April 6, 2016, the Maryland State Court issued an order on April 18, 2016 granting an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses to the plaintiffs totaling $2,212,688 . On April 21, 2016 , the Company paid the awarded amount to the plaintiffs’ counsel.

On July 13, 2016 , BPO and the Company entered into a settlement agreement with the insurance carrier under the MPG directors and officers liability insurance policy that was in effect at the time of the merger. On August 17, 2016 , the Company received a settlement payment from the insurance carrier totaling $1,106,344 , which partially reimbursed the Company for amounts paid to settle both the Common Stock Actions and the Preferred Stock Actions.

In December 2015, Brookfield DTLA adopted the guidance in Accounting Standards Update 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs , which requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability. We have retroactively restated the 2014 and 2013 consolidated balance sheets by reclassifying unamortized debt issuance costs of $4,128 and $4,266 , respectively, from total assets to mortgage loans, net in accordance with this guidance. We have also reduced total liabilities by $4,128 and $4,266 in the 2014 and 2013 consolidated balance sheets, respectively. There were no unamortized debt issuance costs to reclassify in the 2012 combined balance sheet.

BROOKFIELD DTLA FUND OFFICE TRUST INVESTOR INC.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes. See Item 8. “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.”

Overview and Background

Brookfield DTLA Fund Office Trust Investor Inc. (“Brookfield DTLA” or the “Company”) is a Maryland corporation and was incorporated on April 19, 2013. Brookfield DTLA was formed for the purpose of consummating the transactions contemplated in the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of April 24, 2013, as amended (the “Merger Agreement”), and the issuance of shares of 7.625%  Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (the “Series A preferred stock”) in connection with the acquisition of MPG Office Trust, Inc. and MPG Office, L.P. (together, “MPG”). Brookfield DTLA is a direct subsidiary of Brookfield DTLA Holdings LLC (“Brookfield DTLA Holdings”), a Delaware limited liability company, and an indirect partially-owned subsidiary of Brookfield Office Properties Inc., a corporation incorporated under the Laws of Canada (“BPO”).

Brookfield DTLA owns BOA Plaza, EY Plaza, Wells Fargo Center–North Tower, Wells Fargo Center–South Tower, Gas Company Tower and 777 Tower, each of which is a Class A office property located in the Los Angeles Central Business District (the “LACBD”).

Brookfield DTLA has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) pursuant to Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), commencing with its tax period ended December 31, 2013. Brookfield DTLA conducts and intends to conduct its operations so as to continue to qualify as a REIT. Accordingly, Brookfield DTLA is not subject to U.S. federal income tax, provided that it continues to qualify as a REIT and distributions to its stockholders, if any, generally equal or exceed its taxable income. Brookfield DTLA has elected to treat certain of its subsidiaries as taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRS”). Certain activities that we undertake must be conducted by a TRS, such as non-customary services for our tenants, and holding assets that we cannot hold directly. A TRS is subject to both federal and state income taxes.

Brookfield DTLA receives its income primarily from rental income (including tenant reimbursements) generated from the operations of its office and retail properties, and to a lesser extent, from its parking garages.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General

Brookfield DTLA’s business requires continued access to adequate cash to fund its liquidity needs. The amount of cash Brookfield DTLA currently generates from its operations is not sufficient to cover Brookfield DTLA’s operating, financing and investing activities, resulting in “negative cash burn,” and there can be no assurance that the amount of Brookfield DTLA’s negative cash burn will decrease, or that it will not increase, in the future. If Brookfield DTLA’s operating cash flow and capital are not sufficient to cover its operating costs or to repay its indebtedness as it comes due, we may issue additional debt and/or equity, including to affiliates of Brookfield DTLA, which issuances could further adversely impact the amount of funds available to Brookfield DTLA for any purpose, including for dividends or other distributions to holders of its capital stock, including the Series A preferred stock. In many cases, such securities may be issued if authorized by the board of directors of Brookfield DTLA without the approval of holders of the Series A preferred stock. See “—Potential Uses of Liquidity—Property Operations” below.

Sources and Uses of Liquidity

Brookfield DTLA’s potential liquidity sources and uses are, among others, as follows:

 
 
Sources
 
 
Uses
 
Cash on hand;
 
Property operations;
 
Cash generated from operations;
 
Capital expenditures;
 
Contributions from Brookfield
  DTLA Holdings; and
 
Payments in connection with loans;
 
Proceeds from additional secured or 
  unsecured debt financings.
 
Distributions to Brookfield
  DTLA Holdings; and
 
 
 
 
Dividend payment in connection
  with legal settlement.

Potential Sources of Liquidity

Cash on Hand

As of December 31, 2016 and 2015 , Brookfield DTLA had cash and cash equivalents totaling $30.3 million and $53.7 million , respectively.

Cash Generated from Operations

Brookfield DTLA’s cash generated from operations is primarily dependent upon (1) the occupancy level of its portfolio, (2) the rental rates achieved on its leases, and (3) the collectability of rent and other amounts billed to its tenants. Net cash generated from operations is tied to the level of operating expenses, described below under “—Potential Uses of Liquidity.”

Annualized rent represents the annualized monthly contractual rent under existing leases as of December 31, 2016 . This amount reflects total base rent before any rent abatements as of December 31, 2016 and is shown on a net basis; thus, for any tenant under a partial gross lease, the expense stop, or under a fully gross lease, the current year operating expenses (which may be estimates as of such date), are subtracted from gross rent. Total abatements for leases in effect as of December 31, 2016 for the twelve months ending December 31, 2017 are approximately $11.5 million , or $1.73  per leased square foot.
(2)
Annualized rent per rentable square foot represents annualized rent as computed above, divided by leased square feet as of the same date.

Annualized rent represents the annualized monthly contractual rent under existing leases as of December 31, 2016 . This amount reflects total base rent before any rent abatements as of December 31, 2016 and is shown on a net basis; thus, for any tenant under a partial gross lease, the expense stop, or under a fully gross lease, the current year operating expenses (which may be estimates as of such date), are subtracted from gross rent. Total abatements for leases in effect as of December 31, 2016 for the twelve months ending December 31, 2017 are approximately $11.5 million , or $1.73  per leased square foot.
(2)
Current rent per leased square foot represents current base rent, divided by total leased square feet as of the same date.
(3)
Rent per leased square foot at expiration represents base rent, including any future rent steps, and thus represents the base rent that will be in place at lease expiration.

Rental Rates and Leasing Activity. Average asking net effective rents in the LACBD were essentially flat during the year ended December 31, 2016 . Management believes that on average our current in‑place rents are generally close to market in the LACBD.

Collectability of rent from our tenants. Brookfield DTLA’s rental income depends on collecting rent from its tenants, and in particular from its major tenants. In the event of tenant defaults, Brookfield DTLA may experience delays in enforcing its rights as landlord and may incur substantial costs in pursuing legal possession of the tenant’s space and recovery of any amounts due from the tenant. This is particularly true in the case of the bankruptcy or insolvency of a major tenant or where the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation is acting as receiver.

Contributions from Brookfield DTLA Holdings

Drawdowns under Capital Commitment—

At the time of the merger with MPG, Brookfield DTLA Holdings made a commitment to contribute up to $260.0 million in cash or property to Brookfield DTLA Fund Properties II LLC (“New OP”), which directly or indirectly owns the Brookfield DTLA properties, for which it will be entitled to receive a preferred return, if and when called by New OP. During the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 , Brookfield DTLA received no contributions from Brookfield DTLA Holdings under this commitment.

During the year ended December 31, 2016 , the Company received cash contributions totaling $63.3 million from Brookfield DTLA Holdings under this commitment, which is entitled to a preferred return of 9.0% . The Company used these funds to pay for costs associated with refinancing the Wells Fargo Center–South Tower and Gas Company Tower mortgage loans, and for general corporate purposes. As of December 31, 2016 , $196.7 million was available to the Company under this commitment for future funding.

Subsequent to December 31, 2016 , the Company received $30.0 million in cash contributions from Brookfield DTLA Holdings under this commitment, which is entitled to a preferred return of 9.0% . The Company intends to use these funds for general corporate purposes. As of March 20, 2017 , $166.7 million is available to the Company under this commitment for future funding. See “Subsequent Event.”

Other Contribution—

In addition to amounts received under the commitment described above, on April 21, 2016 , Brookfield DTLA received a $2.5 million capital contribution from Brookfield DTLA Holdings, which was used for general corporate purposes.

Proceeds from Additional Secured or Unsecured Debt Financings—

On September 1, 2016 , Brookfield DTLA modified the mortgage loan secured by 777 Tower, which increased the loan amount from $200.0 million to $220.0 million . As a result of the modification, the Company received net proceeds of $19.7 million , which was used for general corporate purposes.

Potential Uses of Liquidity

The following are the projected uses, and some of the potential uses, of cash in the near term.

Property Operations

BOA Plaza and EY Plaza have historically generated sufficient cash from operations to fund their operating activities. In the future, should the cash generated by Brookfield DTLA’s properties, including the properties acquired from MPG, not be sufficient to fund their operations, such cash would be provided by Brookfield DTLA Holdings or another source of funds available to the Company or, if such cash were not made available, the Company might not have sufficient cash to fund its operations.

At the time of the merger with MPG, Brookfield DTLA Holdings made a commitment to make capital contributions in cash or property to New OP, which directly or indirectly owns the Brookfield DTLA properties, for up to $260.0 million of its future cash needs, for which it will be entitled to receive a preferred return, if and when called by New OP. As of March 20, 2017 , $166.7 million is available to the Company under this commitment for future funding. See “Subsequent Event.”

Capital Expenditures

Capital expenditures fluctuate in any given period, subject to the nature, extent and timing of improvements required to maintain Brookfield DTLA’s properties. Leasing costs also fluctuate in any given period, depending upon such factors as the type of property, the length of the lease, the type of lease, the involvement of external leasing agents and overall market conditions.

BROOKFIELD DTLA FUND OFFICE TRUST INVESTOR INC.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

Brookfield DTLA expects that leasing activities at its properties, including the properties acquired from MPG, will require material amounts of cash for at least several years. Excluding tenant improvements and leasing commissions, Brookfield DTLA projects spending approximately $135 million over the next ten years, with the majority (approximately $116 million ) over the next five years. The expected expenditures include, but are not limited to, renovations and physical capital upgrades to Brookfield DTLA’s properties, such as lobby renovations, upgrades to fire alarm, security and HVAC systems, and roof replacements.

Payments in Connection with Loans

Debt Refinanced—

On July 11, 2016 , Brookfield DTLA refinanced the $458.0 million mortgage loan secured by Gas Company Tower. In connection with the refinancing, the Company repaid $8.0 million of principal and was required to fund various loan reserves, including a $20.7 million tenant improvement and leasing commission reserve, a $4.5 million rent concession reserve, and a $3.0 million tax reserve at closing. During July 2016, the Company received $37.0 million in cash contributions from Brookfield DTLA Holdings, of which $19.7 million was used to pay for costs associated with the refinancing of Gas Company Tower.

On December 2, 2016 , Brookfield DLTA refinanced the $290.0 million mortgage loan secured by Wells Fargo Center–South Tower. In connection with the refinancing, the Company repaid $40.0 million of principal and was required to fund various loan reserves, including a $6.1 million tenant improvement and leasing commission reserve and a $1.1 million tax reserve at closing. During November 2016, the Company received $20.3 million in cash contributions from Brookfield DTLA Holdings that, along with cash on hand, was used to pay for costs associated with the refinancing of Wells Fargo Center–South Tower.

Debt Maturities—

As Brookfield DTLA’s debt matures, principal payment obligations present significant future cash requirements. Brookfield DTLA currently intends to refinance the existing mortgage loan on Wells Fargo Center–North Tower on or about its scheduled maturity (April 2017) with new debt with a lower leverage ratio. As of December 31, 2016 , Brookfield DTLA anticipates the need for additional cash of approximately $90 million to complete the refinancing of the Wells Fargo Center–North Tower mortgage loan. There can be no assurance that this refinancing can be accomplished or what terms will be available in the market for this type of financing at the time of any refinancing.

On January 4, 2016 , Brookfield DTLA paid a cash dividend of $2.25  per share to holders of record of its Series A preferred stock at the close of business on December 15, 2015 using cash on hand. This dividend payment reduced the accumulated and unpaid dividends owed on the Series A preferred stock by $21.9 million . The dividend was declared on December 4, 2015 by the board of directors in connection with the settlement on a class-wide basis of the litigation brought in Maryland State Court and styled as In re MPG Office Trust Inc. Preferred Shareholder Litigation , Case No. 24-C-13-004097. See Part I, Item 3. “Legal Proceedings—Merger‑Related Litigation” for additional information regarding the dividend payment.

Debt Refinanced

Gas Company Tower—

On July 11, 2016 , Brookfield DTLA refinanced the $458.0 million mortgage loan secured by Gas Company Tower. In connection with the refinancing, the Company repaid $8.0 million of principal and was required to fund various loan reserves, including a $20.7 million tenant improvement and leasing commission reserve, a $4.5 million rent concession reserve, and a $3.0 million property tax reserve at closing. During July 2016, the Company received $37.0 million in cash contributions from Brookfield DTLA Holdings, of which $19.7 million was used to pay for costs associated with the refinancing of Gas Company Tower.

The new $450.0 million mortgage loan is comprised of a $319.0 million senior loan and a $131.0 million mezzanine loan, which bear interest at fixed rates equal to 3.4727% and 6.50% , respectively, mature on August 6, 2021 , and require the payment of interest-only until maturity. The senior loan is locked out from prepayment until September 6, 2017 , after which it can be prepaid, in whole or in part, with prepayment penalties (as defined in the underlying loan agreement) until April 6, 2021 after which the loan can be repaid without penalty. The mezzanine loan is locked out from prepayment until September 6, 2017 , after which the loan can be repaid, in whole or in part, without penalty.

Wells Fargo Center–South Tower—

On December 2, 2016 , Brookfield DLTA refinanced the $290.0 million mortgage loan secured by Wells Fargo Center–South Tower. In connection with the refinancing, the Company repaid $40.0 million of principal and was required to fund various loan reserves, including a $6.1 million tenant improvement and leasing commission reserve and a $1.1 million property tax reserve at closing. During November 2016, the Company received $20.3 million in cash contributions from Brookfield DTLA Holdings that, along with cash on hand, was used to pay for costs associated with the refinancing of Wells Fargo Center–South Tower.

The new $270.0 million mortgage loan is comprised of an initial advance amount of $250.0 million and a remaining maximum future advance amount of $20.0 million that can be drawn by the Company to fund approved leasing costs (as defined in the underlying loan agreement), including tenant improvements, leasing commissions and capital expenditures. The loan bears interest at a variable rate of LIBOR plus 3.69% , matures on December 6, 2018 , and requires the payment of interest-only until maturity. As required by the loan agreement, we have entered into an interest rate cap agreement that limits the LIBOR portion of the interest rate to 3.00% .

The loan can, at Brookfield DTLA’s option, be prepaid with penalties until June 6, 2018 , after which the loan can be repaid without penalty. Brookfield DTLA has three  options to extend the maturity date of the loan, each for a period of one  year, subject to meeting certain debt yield and loan to value ratios (as specified in the loan agreement).

Debt Modification

On September 1, 2016 , Brookfield DTLA modified the mortgage loan secured by 777 Tower, which increased the loan amount from $200.0 million to $220.0 million . As a result of the modification, the Company received net proceeds of $19.7 million , which was used for general corporate purposes.

The terms of the modified loan increased the interest rate by 48  basis points to LIBOR plus  2.18% , effective September 1, 2016 . No other terms or conditions of the original loan were changed as part of the modification.

Debt Maturities

Wells Fargo Center–North Tower—

Brookfield DTLA currently intends to refinance the $550.0 million mortgage loan secured by Wells Fargo Center–North Tower on or about its April 6, 2017 maturity date with new debt with a lower leverage ratio. We do not have a commitment from the lenders to extend the maturity date of or to refinance this loan.

This loan will most likely require a paydown upon extension or refinancing (depending on market conditions), funding of additional reserve amounts, or both. As of December 31, 2016 , Brookfield DTLA anticipates the need for additional cash of approximately $90 million to complete the refinancing. We may use cash on hand to make any such payments or cash received as a capital contribution from Brookfield DTLA Holdings. If we are unable or unwilling to use cash on hand or do not use cash contributed by Brookfield DTLA Holdings to make such payments, we may face challenges in repaying, extending or refinancing this loan on favorable terms or at all, and we may be forced to give back the asset to the lenders. There can be no assurance that this refinancing can be accomplished or what terms will be available in the market for this type of financing at the time of any refinancing.

Figueroa at 7th—

Brookfield DTLA intends to extend or refinance the $35.0 million mortgage loan secured by Figueroa at 7th on or about its September 10, 2017 maturity date. Brookfield DTLA has two  options to extend the maturity date of this loan, each for a period of 12  months, subject to meeting certain debt yield and loan to value ratios (as specified in the loan agreement). As of December 31, 2016 , we meet the criteria specified in the loan agreement to extend the maturity date of this loan.

BROOKFIELD DTLA FUND OFFICE TRUST INVESTOR INC.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

Non-Recourse Carve Out Guarantees

All of Brookfield DTLA’s $2.1 billion of mortgage debt is subject to “non-recourse carve out” guarantees that expire upon elimination of the underlying loan obligations. In connection with all of these loans, Brookfield DTLA entered into “non-recourse carve out” guarantees, which provide for these otherwise non-recourse loans to become partially or fully recourse against Brookfield DTLA Holdings or one of its subsidiaries, if certain triggering events occur. Although these events differ from loan to loan, some of the common events include:

The special purpose property-owning subsidiary of Brookfield DTLA Holdings or Brookfield DTLA Holdings filing a voluntary petition for bankruptcy;

The special purpose property-owning subsidiary of Brookfield DTLA Holdings’ failure to maintain its status as a special purpose entity;

Subject to certain conditions, the special purpose property-owning subsidiary of Brookfield DTLA Holdings’ failure to obtain the lender’s written consent prior to any subordinate financing or other voluntary lien encumbering the associated property; and

Subject to certain conditions, the special purpose property-owning subsidiary of Brookfield DTLA Holdings’ failure to obtain the lender’s written consent prior to a transfer or conveyance of the associated property, including, in some cases, indirect transfers in connection with a change in control of Brookfield DTLA Holdings or Brookfield DTLA.

In addition, other items that are customarily recourse to a non-recourse carve out guarantor include, but are not limited to, the payment of real property taxes, the breach of representations related to environmental issues or hazardous substances, physical waste of the property, liens which are senior to the mortgage loan and outstanding security deposits.

The maximum amount Brookfield DTLA Holdings would be required to pay under a “non‑recourse carve out” guarantee is the principal amount of the loan (or a total of $2.1 billion as of December 31, 2016 for all loans). This maximum amount does not include liabilities related to environmental issues or hazardous substances. Losses resulting from the breach of our loan agreement representations related to environmental issues or hazardous substances are generally recourse to Brookfield DTLA Holdings pursuant to our “non-recourse carve out” guarantees and any such losses would be in addition to the total principal amounts of our loans. The potential losses are not quantifiable and can be material in certain circumstances, depending on the severity of the environmental or hazardous substance issues. Since each of our non-recourse loans is secured by the office building owned by the special purpose property-owning subsidiary of Brookfield DTLA Holdings, the amount due to the lender from Brookfield DTLA Holdings in the event a “non-recourse carve out” guarantee is triggered could subsequently be partially or fully mitigated by the net proceeds received from any disposition of the office building; however, such proceeds may not be sufficient to cover the maximum potential amount due, depending on the particular asset.

Debt Reporting

Pursuant to the terms of certain of our mortgage loan agreements, Brookfield DTLA is required to report a debt service coverage ratio (“DSCR”) calculated using the formulas specified in the underlying loan agreements. We have submitted the required reports to the lenders for the measurement periods ended December 31, 2016 and were in compliance with the amounts required by the loan agreements.

Pursuant to the terms of the Wells Fargo Center–North Tower, EY Plaza, and Figueroa at 7th mortgage loan agreements, we are required to provide annual audited financial statements of Brookfield DTLA Holdings to the lenders or agents. The receipt of any opinion other than an “unqualified” audit opinion on our annual audited financial statements is an event of default under the loan agreements for the properties listed above. If an event of default occurs, the lenders have the right to pursue the remedies contained in the loan documents, including acceleration of all or a portion of the debt and foreclosure.

Real Estate Taxes

Real estate taxes increased $1.7 million , or 5% , for the year ended December 31, 2016 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2015 due to prior year tax reductions that were recorded during 2015 related to the MPG properties for which there was no comparable activity during 2016.

Depreciation and Amortization Expense

Depreciation and amortization expense increased $5.8 million , or 6% , for the year ended December 31, 2016 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2015 , largely as a result of an acceleration of depreciation and amortization expense related to lease termination activity.

Rental Income

Rental income increased $8.3 million , or 5% , for the year ended December 31, 2015 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2014 , primarily as a result of higher lease rates as well as an increase in occupancy from 83.0% to 85.6% .

Tenant Reimbursements Revenue

Tenant reimbursements revenue decreased $7.3 million , or 8% , for the year ended December 31, 2015 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2014 , primarily as a result of a decrease in real estate tax, and rental property operating and maintenance expenses passed through to tenants.

Interest and Other Revenue

Interest and other revenue increased $3.3 million , or 27% , for the year ended December 31, 2015 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2014 , mainly as a result of a $3.5 million recovery received related to a property disposed of by MPG prior to the merger.

Rental Property Operating and Maintenance Expense

Rental property operating and maintenance expense decreased $3.5 million , or 3% , for the year ended December 31, 2015 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2014 as a result of lower utility and insurance costs.

Real Estate Taxes Expense

Real estate taxes expense decreased $2.6 million , or 7% , for the year ended December 31, 2015 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2014 due to adjusted property tax assessments that were received during 2015 related to the MPG properties acquired in 2013.

Other Expense

Other expense increased $2.1 million , or 64% , for the year ended December 31, 2015 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2014 , mainly due to a $1.9 million accrual for legal expenses related to the MPG stockholder litigation.

Depreciation and Amortization Expense

Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $6.9 million , or 7% , for the year ended December 31, 2015 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2014 , largely as a result of a decrease in amortization of acquired in-place and tenant relationship intangible assets.

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased $2.6 million , or 3% , for the year ended December 31, 2015 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2014 , primarily due to the refinancing of BOA Plaza in August 2014 combined with higher interest rates on variable-rate debt in the fourth quarter of 2015.

Cash Flow

Brookfield DTLA’s business requires continued access to adequate cash to fund its liquidity needs. The amount of cash Brookfield DTLA currently generates from its operations is not sufficient to cover Brookfield DTLA’s operating, financing and investing activities, resulting in “negative cash burn,” and there can be no assurance that the amount of Brookfield DTLA’s negative cash burn will decrease, or that it will not increase, in the future. If Brookfield DTLA’s operating cash flow and capital are not sufficient to cover its operating costs or to repay its indebtedness as it comes due, we may issue additional debt and/or equity, including to affiliates of Brookfield DTLA, which issuances could further adversely impact the amount of funds available to Brookfield DTLA for any purpose, including for dividends or other distributions to holders of its capital stock, including the Series A preferred stock. In many cases, such securities may be issued if authorized by the board of directors of Brookfield DTLA without the approval of holders of the Series A preferred stock. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources—Potential Uses of Liquidity—Property Operations” above.

The following summary discussion of Brookfield DTLA’s cash flow is based on the consolidated statements of cash flows in Item 8. “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” and is not meant to be an all‑inclusive discussion of the changes in its cash flow for the periods presented below.

Operating Activities

Brookfield DTLA’s cash flow from operating activities is primarily dependent upon (1) the occupancy level of its portfolio, (2) the rental rates achieved on its leases, and (3) the collectability of rent and other amounts billed to tenants and is also tied to the level of operating expenses. Net cash provided by operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2016 totaled $35.8 million compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $30.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 . The $5.8 million increase in cash provided by operating activities was primarily the result of increases in net rental and tenant reimbursements revenue, partially offset by changes in other working capital amounts.

Investing Activities

Brookfield DTLA’s cash flow from investing activities is generally impacted by the amount of capital expenditures for its properties. Net cash used in investing activities totaled $63.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2016 , compared to net cash used in investing activities of $64.8 million during the year ended December 31, 2015 . The $1.2 million decrease in cash used in investing activities was primarily a result of reduced expenditures for real estate improvements during 2016.

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

Financing Activities

Brookfield DTLA’s cash flow from financing activities is generally impacted by its loan activity, less any dividends and distributions paid to stockholders and distributions to affiliated companies, if any. Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $4.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2016 , compared to net cash used in financing activities of $36.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2015 . Contributions from the Series B preferred interest and Brookfield DTLA Holdings totaling $65.8 million , partially offset by net cash used in debt activity totaling $38.9 million and payment of $21.9 million in dividends on the Series A preferred stock, were the drivers of the cash provided by financing activities during 2016. Distributions and dividends totaling $35.8 million paid to Brookfield DTLA Holdings related to the senior participating preferred interest were the drivers of the cash used in financing activities during 2015.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Brookfield DTLA did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 , respectively.

Related Party Transactions

Intercompany Loan

Brookfield DTLA was indebted to BOP Management Inc. (“BOP”), an affiliate of BPO, under a $25.0 million promissory note dated October 11, 2013 that bore interest at  3.25% . For the year ended December 31, 2014 , the Company accrued $0.6 million of interest expense related to this note. During September 2014, Brookfield DTLA paid $25.8 million in full settlement of the principal and interest outstanding on the intercompany loan using proceeds from the mortgage loan secured by the Figueroa at 7th retail property.

Management Agreements

Brookfield DTLA has entered into arrangements with BOP under which the affiliate provides property management and various other services. Property management fees under these agreements are calculated based on 2.75% of rents collected (as defined in the management agreements). In addition, the Company pays BOP Asset Manager LLC and Brookfield Asset Management Private Institutional Capital Adviser US, LLC an asset management fee, which is calculated based on 0.75% of the capital contributed by Brookfield DTLA Holdings.

A summary of costs incurred by Brookfield DTLA under these arrangements is as follows (in thousands):

Litigation

See Part I, Item 3. “Legal Proceedings.”

Critical Accounting Policies

Critical accounting policies are those that are both significant to the overall presentation of Brookfield DTLA’s financial condition and results of operations and require management to make difficult, complex or subjective judgments. Brookfield DTLA considers the following to be its critical accounting policies:

Business Combinations

Purchase accounting is applied to the assets and liabilities related to all real estate investments acquired from third parties. In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805, Business Combinations , the purchase price of real estate acquired is allocated to acquired tangible assets, consisting primarily of land, building and tenant improvements, and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities, consisting of the value of above- and below-market leases, in-place leases, and tenant relationships, based in each case on their fair value. Management may be required to use considerable judgment when allocating the fair value of assets and liabilities acquired.

The principal valuation technique employed by Brookfield DTLA in determining the fair value of identified assets acquired and liabilities assumed is the income approach, which is then compared to the cost approach. Tangible values for investments in real estate are calculated based on replacement costs for like type quality assets. Above- and below-market lease values are determined by comparing in-place rents with current market rents. In‑place lease amounts are determined by calculating the potential lost revenue during the replacement of the current leases in place. Leasing commissions and legal/marketing fees are determined based upon market allowances pro-rated over the remaining lease terms. Mortgage loans assumed in an acquisition are analyzed using current market terms for similar debt.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

Consolidation

The Company consolidates entities in which it has a controlling financial interest. In determining whether Brookfield DTLA has a controlling financial interest in an entity and the requirement to consolidate the accounts of that entity, management considers factors such as ownership interest, board representation, management representation, authority to make decisions, and contractual and substantive participating rights of the partners/members as well as whether the entity is a variable interest entity (“VIE”) and Brookfield DTLA is the primary beneficiary.

A VIE is broadly defined as an entity where either (i) the equity investors as a group, if any, lack the power through voting or similar rights to direct the activities of an entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance or (ii) the equity investment at risk is insufficient to finance that entity’s activities without additional subordinated financial support.

A variable interest holder is considered to be the primary beneficiary of a VIE if it has the power to direct the activities of a variable interest entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and has the obligation to absorb losses of, or the right to receive benefits from, the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE. Brookfield DTLA qualitatively assesses whether it is (or is not) the primary beneficiary of a VIE.

The Company determined that New OP is a VIE and as a result of having the power to direct the significant activities of New OP and exposure to the economic performance of New OP, Brookfield DTLA meets the two conditions for being the primary beneficiary. Brookfield DTLA is required to continually evaluate its VIE relationships and consolidation conclusion.

Impairment Evaluation

Real estate is reviewed for impairment if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the real estate may not be recoverable. In such an event, a comparison is made of the current and projected operating cash flows of the property into the foreseeable future on an undiscounted basis to the carrying amount of the real estate. If the undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by an asset are less than its carrying amount, an impairment provision would be recorded to write down the carrying amount of such asset to its fair value. Brookfield DTLA assesses fair value based on estimated cash flow projections utilizing appropriate discount and capitalization rates and available market information. Projections of future cash flow take into account the specific
business plan for the property and management’s best estimate of the most probable set of economic conditions expected to prevail in the market. The assessment as to whether our investment in real estate is impaired is highly subjective. The calculations involve management’s best estimate of the holding period, market comparables, future occupancy levels, rental rates, capitalization rates, lease‑up periods and capital requirements for each property. A change in any one of more of these factors could materially impact whether a property is impaired as of any given valuation date. Management believes no impairment of Brookfield DTLA’s real estate assets existed at December 31, 2016 and 2015 .

Revenue Recognition

Rental income from leases providing for periodic increases in base rent is recognized on a straight-line basis over the noncancelable term of the respective leases. Certain leases with retail tenants also provide for the payment by the lessee of additional rent based on a percentage of the tenants’ sales. Percentage rents are recognized only after the tenant sales thresholds have been achieved. Any amounts paid to a tenant for improvements owned or costs incurred by the tenant are treated as tenant inducements. Amortization of tenant inducements is recorded on a straight-line basis over the term of the related lease as a reduction of rental income.

Differences between rental income and the contractual amounts due are recorded as deferred rents receivable. Recoveries of operating expenses and real estate taxes are recorded as tenant reimbursements in the period during which the expenses are incurred.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Brookfield DTLA periodically evaluates the collectability of amounts due from tenants and maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of tenants to make required payments under the lease agreements. Management exercises judgment in establishing these allowances and considers payment history and current credit status in developing these estimates. Brookfield DTLA also evaluates its deferred rents receivable to consider if an allowance is necessary. The allowance for doubtful accounts totaled $0.2 million and $0.5 million as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 , respectively.

Effects of Inflation

Substantially all of Brookfield DTLA’s office leases provide for separate real estate tax and operating expense escalations. In addition, many of the leases provide for fixed base rent increases. Brookfield DTLA believes that inflationary increases may be at least partially offset by the contractual rent increases and expense escalations described above.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09 establishing ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASU 2014-09 establishes a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most of the existing revenue recognition guidance. ASU 2014-09 requires an entity to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that the entity expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services and also requires certain additional disclosures. ASU 2014-09 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years that begin after December 15, 2017. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2014-09 on Brookfield DTLA’s consolidated financial statements.


56


BROOKFIELD DTLA FUND OFFICE TRUST INVESTOR INC.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. This topic provides guidance on management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about a company’s ability to continue as a going concern and requires related footnote disclosures. The guidance in ASU 2014-15 became effective for Brookfield DTLA for year-end December 31, 2016. The implementation of this pronouncement did not have a material impact on Brookfield DTLA’s consolidated financial statements.

In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-02, Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis to ASC Topic 810 , Consolidation . ASU 2015-02 affects reporting entities that are required to evaluate whether they should consolidate certain legal entities. Specifically, the amendments: (i) modify the evaluation of whether limited partnerships and similar legal entities are VIEs or voting interest entities, (ii) eliminate the presumption that a general partner should consolidate a limited partnership, (iii) affect the consolidated analysis of reporting entities that are involved with VIEs, and (iv) provide a scope exception for certain entities. The guidance in ASU 2015-02 became effective for Brookfield DTLA beginning January 1, 2016. The implementation of this pronouncement did not have a material impact on Brookfield DTLA’s consolidated financial statements.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs , that requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts, as opposed to being presented as assets. Brookfield DTLA elected to early adopt ASU 2015-03 effective as of December 31, 2015 . There was no effect on Brookfield DTLA’s consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2014 as a result of adopting this pronouncement.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02 establishing ASC Topic 842, Leases . The guidance in this update supersedes the guidance in ASC Topic 840, Leases . ASU 2016-02 revises GAAP related to accounting for leases by lessees. Under this new guidance, lessees will be required to recognize a lease liability and a right-of-use asset in the balance sheet for all leases with terms greater than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification determining the pattern of expense recognition in the statement of operations. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years, and should be applied using a modified retrospective approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-02 on Brookfield DTLA’s consolidated financial statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments to ASC Topic 230, Statement of Cash Flows . ASU 2016-15 clarifies guidance on the classification of certain cash receipts and payments in the statement of cash flows to reduce diversity in practice with respect to (i) debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs, (ii) settlement of zero-coupon debt instruments or other debt instruments with coupon interest rates that are insignificant in relation to the effective interest rate of the borrowing, (iii) contingent consideration payments made after a business combination, (iv) proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims, (v) proceeds from the settlement of

corporate-owned life insurance policies, including bank-owned life insurance policies, (vi) distributions received from equity method investees, (vii) beneficial interests in securitization transactions, and (viii) separately identifiable cash flows and application of the predominance principle. ASU 2016-15 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years that begin after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. We do not expect the adoption of this update to have a material impact on Brookfield DTLA’s consolidated financial statements.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Restricted Cash to ASC Topic 230, Statement of Cash Flows . ASU 2016-18 requires entities to show the changes in the total of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. As a result, entities will no longer present transfers between cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-18 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption permitted, including adoption in an interim period. Upon adoption, we will retrospectively reconcile the activity in our cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents during reporting periods.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, Clarifying the Definition of a Business to ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations. ASU 2017-01 introduced amendments that are intended to make the guidance on the definition of a business more consistent and cost-efficient. The objective of the update is to add further guidance that assists entities in evaluating whether a transaction should be accounted for as an acquisition (or disposal) of assets or a business by providing a screen to determine when a set of assets and activities acquired is not a business. ASU 2017-01 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 including interim periods within those periods. ASU 2017-01 must be applied prospectively on or after the effective date. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2017-01 on Brookfield DTLA’s consolidated financial statements.

Subsequent Event

Contributions from Brookfield DTLA Holdings

Subsequent to December 31, 2016 , the Company received $30.0 million in cash contributions from Brookfield DTLA Holdings, which is entitled to a preferred return of 9.0% . The Company intends to use these funds for general corporate purposes. As of March 20, 2017 , $166.7 million is available to the Company under the $260.0 million commitment for future funding.

Item 7A.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate fluctuations may impact Brookfield DTLA’s results of operations and cash flow. As of December 31, 2016 , $505.0 million , or 24.2% , of Brookfield DTLA’s debt bears interest at variable rates based on one-month LIBOR. Brookfield DTLA does not trade in financial instruments for speculative purposes.

(3,203
)

The impact of a 50 basis point increase or decrease in interest rates would have an immaterial effect on the fair value of Brookfield DTLA’s interest rate cap agreements as of December 31, 2016 .

These amounts were determined considering the impact of hypothetical interest rates on Brookfield DTLA’s financial instruments. These analyses do not consider the effect of any change in overall economic activity that could occur in that environment. Furthermore, in the event of a change of the magnitude discussed above, management may take actions to further mitigate Brookfield DTLA’s exposure to the change. However, due to the uncertainty of the specific actions that would be taken and their possible effects, these analyses assume no changes in Brookfield DTLA’s financial structure.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM




To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Brookfield DTLA Fund Office Trust Investor Inc.
New York, New York

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Brookfield DTLA Fund Office Trust Investor Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 , and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2016 . These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 , and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2016 , in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

BROOKFIELD DTLA FUND OFFICE TRUST INVESTOR INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


Note 1—Organization and Description of Business

Brookfield DTLA Fund Office Trust Investor Inc. (“Brookfield DTLA” or the “Company”) is a Maryland corporation and was incorporated on April 19, 2013. Brookfield DTLA was formed for the purpose of consummating the transactions contemplated in the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of April 24, 2013, as amended (the “Merger Agreement”), and the issuance of shares of 7.625%  Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (the “Series A preferred stock”) in connection with the acquisition of MPG Office Trust, Inc. and MPG Office, L.P. (together, “MPG”). Brookfield DTLA is a direct subsidiary of Brookfield DTLA Holdings LLC (“Brookfield DTLA Holdings”), a Delaware limited liability company and an indirect partially-owned subsidiary of Brookfield Office Properties Inc., a corporation incorporated under the Laws of Canada (“BPO”).

Brookfield DTLA owns BOA Plaza, EY Plaza, Wells Fargo Center–North Tower, Wells Fargo Center–South Tower, Gas Company Tower and 777 Tower, each of which is a Class A office property located in the Los Angeles Central Business District (the “LACBD”).

Brookfield DTLA receives its income primarily from rental income (including tenant reimbursements) generated from the operations of its office and retail properties, and to a lesser extent, from its parking garages.

Note 2 Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

As used in these consolidated financial statements and related notes, unless the context requires otherwise, the terms “Brookfield DTLA,” the “Company,” “us,” “we” and “our” refer to Brookfield DTLA Fund Office Trust Investor Inc.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 include the accounts of Brookfield DTLA and subsidiaries in which it has a controlling financial interest. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation as of and for the years ended December 31, 2016 , 2015 and 2014 .

In determining whether Brookfield DTLA has a controlling financial interest in an entity and the requirement to consolidate the accounts of that entity, management considers factors such as ownership interest, board representation, management representation, authority to make decisions, and contractual and substantive participating rights of the partners/members as well as whether the entity is a variable interest entity (“VIE”) and Brookfield DTLA is the primary beneficiary.

A VIE is broadly defined as an entity where either (i) the equity investors as a group, if any, lack the power through voting or similar rights to direct the activities of an entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance or (ii) the equity investment at risk is insufficient to finance that entity’s activities without additional subordinated financial support.

Table of Contents


BROOKFIELD DTLA FUND OFFICE TRUST INVESTOR INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

A variable interest holder is considered to be the primary beneficiary of a VIE if it has the power to direct the activities of a variable interest entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and has the obligation to absorb losses of, or the right to receive benefits from, the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE. Brookfield DTLA qualitatively assesses whether it is (or is not) the primary beneficiary of a VIE.

Consideration of various factors includes, but is not limited to, Brookfield DTLA’s ability to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance, its form of ownership interest, its representation on the VIE’s governing body, the size and seniority of its investment, its ability and the rights of other investors to participate in policy making decisions and its ability to replace the manager of and/or liquidate the entity.

The Company earns a return through an indirect investment in Brookfield DTLA Fund Properties II LLC (“New OP”). Brookfield DTLA Holdings, the parent of Brookfield DTLA, owns all of the common interest in New OP. Brookfield DTLA has an indirect preferred stock interest in New OP and its wholly owned subsidiary is the managing member of New OP.

The Company determined that New OP is a VIE and as a result of having the power to direct the significant activities of New OP and exposure to the economic performance of New OP, Brookfield DTLA meets the two conditions for being the primary beneficiary. Brookfield DTLA is required to continually evaluate its VIE relationships and consolidation conclusion.

Reclassifications

We had reported $220,000 of distributions to Brookfield DTLA Holdings in the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2014 . We have reclassified this total to show $207,231 as distributions to senior participating preferred interest and $12,769 as dividends paid to senior participating preferred interest so as to conform to the 2016 and 2015 presentation.

In December 2015, Brookfield DTLA adopted the guidance in Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs , which requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability. We have combined the amortization of deferred financing costs ( $1,007 ) and the amortization of debt discounts ( $5,042 ) for the year ended December 31, 2014 and presented a new total ( $6,049 ) in the consolidated statement of cash flows so as to reflect the presentation of such costs in the consolidated balance sheet.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of 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. For example, estimates and assumptions have been made with respect to fair values of assets and liabilities for purposes of applying the acquisition method of accounting, the useful lives of assets, recoverable amounts of receivables, impairment of long‑lived assets and fair value of debt. Actual results could ultimately differ from such estimates.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued ASU 2014-09 establishing Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASU 2014-09 establishes a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most of the existing revenue recognition guidance. ASU 2014-09 requires an entity to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that the entity expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services and also requires certain additional disclosures. ASU 2014-09 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years that begin after December 15, 2017. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2014-09 on Brookfield DTLA’s consolidated financial statements.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. This topic provides guidance on management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about a company’s ability to continue as a going concern and requires related footnote disclosures. The guidance in ASU 2014-15 became effective for Brookfield DTLA for year-end December 31, 2016. The implementation of this pronouncement did not have a material impact on Brookfield DTLA’s consolidated financial statements.

In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-02, Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis to ASC Topic 810 , Consolidation . ASU 2015-02 affects reporting entities that are required to evaluate whether they should consolidate certain legal entities. Specifically, the amendments: (i) modify the evaluation of whether limited partnerships and similar legal entities are VIEs or voting interest entities, (ii) eliminate the presumption that a general partner should consolidate a limited partnership, (iii) affect the consolidated analysis of reporting entities that are involved with VIEs, and (iv) provide a scope exception for certain entities. The guidance in ASU 2015-02 became effective for Brookfield DTLA beginning January 1, 2016. The implementation of this pronouncement did not have a material impact on Brookfield DTLA’s consolidated financial statements.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03 that requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts, as opposed to being presented as assets. Brookfield DTLA elected to early adopt ASU 2015-03 effective as of December 31, 2015. There was no effect on Brookfield DTLA’s consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2014 as a result of adopting this pronouncement.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02 establishing ASC Topic 842, Leases . The guidance in this update supersedes the guidance in ASC Topic 840, Leases . ASU 2016-02 revises GAAP related to accounting for leases by lessees. Under this new guidance, lessees will be required to recognize a lease liability and a right-of-use asset in the balance sheet for all leases with terms greater than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification determining the pattern of expense recognition in the statement of operations. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years, and should be applied using a modified retrospective approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-02 on Brookfield DTLA’s consolidated financial statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments to ASC Topic 230, Statement of Cash Flows . ASU 2016-15 clarifies guidance on the classification of certain cash receipts and payments in the statement of cash flows to reduce diversity in practice with respect to (i) debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs, (ii) settlement of zero-coupon debt instruments or other debt instruments with coupon interest rates that are insignificant in relation to the effective interest rate of the borrowing, (iii) contingent consideration payments made after a business combination, (iv) proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims, (v) proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies, including bank-owned life insurance policies, (vi) distributions received from equity method investees, (vii) beneficial interests in securitization transactions, and (viii) separately identifiable cash flows and application of the predominance principle. ASU 2016-15 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years that begin after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. We do not expect the adoption of this update to have a material impact on Brookfield DTLA’s consolidated financial statements.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Restricted Cash to ASC Topic 230, Statement of Cash Flows . ASU 2016-18 requires entities to show the changes in the total of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. As a result, entities will no longer present transfers between cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-18 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption permitted, including adoption in an interim period. Upon adoption, we will retrospectively reconcile the activity in our cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents during reporting periods.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, Clarifying the Definition of a Business to ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations. ASU 2017-01 introduced amendments that are intended to make the guidance on the definition of a business more consistent and cost-efficient. The objective of the update is to add further guidance that assists entities in evaluating whether a transaction should be accounted for as an acquisition (or disposal) of assets or a business by providing a screen to determine when a set of assets and activities acquired is not a business. ASU 2017-01 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 including interim periods within those periods. ASU 2017-01 must be applied prospectively on or after the effective date. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2017-01 on Brookfield DTLA’s consolidated financial statements.

Significant Accounting Policies

Business Combinations—

Purchase accounting is applied to the assets and liabilities related to all real estate investments acquired from third parties. In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations , the purchase price of real estate acquired is allocated to acquired tangible assets, consisting primarily of land, building and tenant improvements, and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities, consisting of the value of above- and below-market leases, in-place leases, and tenant relationships, based in each case on their fair value.

The principal valuation technique employed by Brookfield DTLA in determining the fair value of identified assets acquired and liabilities assumed is the income approach, which is then compared to the cost approach. Tangible values for investments in real estate are calculated based on replacement costs for like type quality assets. Above- and below-market lease values are determined by comparing in-place rents with current market rents. In‑place lease amounts are determined by calculating the potential lost revenue during the replacement of the current leases in place. Leasing commissions and legal/marketing fees are determined based upon market allowances pro-rated over the remaining lease terms. Mortgage loans assumed in an acquisition are analyzed using current market terms for similar debt.

The value of the acquired above-market and below-market leases are amortized and recorded as either a decrease (in the case of above-market leases) or an increase (in the case of below-market leases) to rental income in the consolidated statement of operations over the remaining term of the associated lease. The value of tenant relationships is amortized over the expected term of the relationship, which includes an estimated probability of lease renewal. The value of in-place leases is amortized as an expense over the remaining life of the leases. Amortization of tenant relationships and in‑place leases is included in depreciation and amortization in the consolidated statement of operations.

Investments in Real Estate—

Land is carried at cost. Buildings are recorded at historical cost and are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the building, which is 60  years with an estimated salvage value of  5% . Building improvements are recorded at historical cost and are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, which range from 7  years to 25  years. Tenant improvements that are determined to be assets of Brookfield DTLA are recorded at cost; amortization is included in depreciation and amortization expense in the consolidated statement of operations on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the useful life or the applicable lease term.

Depreciation expense related to investments in real estate during the years ended December 31, 2016 , 2015 and 2014 was $73.0 million , $67.0 million and $67.5 million , respectively.

BROOKFIELD DTLA FUND OFFICE TRUST INVESTOR INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

Real estate is reviewed for impairment if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the real estate may not be recoverable. In such an event, a comparison is made of the current and projected operating cash flows of the property into the foreseeable future on an undiscounted basis to the carrying amount of the real estate. If the undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by an asset are less than its carrying amount, an impairment provision would be recorded to write down the carrying amount of such asset to its fair value. Brookfield DTLA assesses fair value based on estimated cash flow projections utilizing appropriate discount and capitalization rates and available market information. Projections of future cash flow take into account the specific business plan for the property and management’s best estimate of the most probable set of economic conditions expected to prevail in the market. Management believes no impairment of Brookfield DTLA’s real estate assets existed at December 31, 2016 and 2015 .

Cash and Cash Equivalents—

Cash and cash equivalents include all cash and short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less.

Restricted Cash—

Restricted cash consists primarily of deposits for tenant improvements and leasing commissions, real estate taxes and insurance reserves, debt service reserves and other items as required by our mortgage loan agreements.

Rents, Deferred Rents and Other Receivables, Net—

Differences between rental income and the contractual amounts due are recorded as deferred rents receivable in the consolidated balance sheet. Brookfield DTLA evaluates its deferred rents receivable to consider if an allowance is necessary.

Rents, deferred rents and other receivables, net also includes any amounts paid to a tenant for improvements owned or costs incurred by the tenant are treated as tenant inducements and are presented in the consolidated balance sheet net of accumulated amortization totaling $9.9 million and $6.5 million as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 , respectively. Amortization of tenant inducements is recorded on a straight-line basis over the term of the related lease as a reduction of rental income in the consolidated statement of operations.

Brookfield DTLA periodically evaluates the collectability of amounts due from tenants and maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts in the consolidated balance sheet for estimated losses resulting from the inability of tenants to make required payments under the lease agreements. Management exercises judgment in establishing these allowances and considers payment history and current credit status in developing these estimates.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

The allowance for doubtful accounts for Brookfield DTLA totaled $0.2 million and $0.5 million as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 , respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2016 , Brookfield DTLA recorded a $271 thousand recovery of doubtful accounts. For the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 , Brookfield DTLA recorded provisions for doubtful accounts of $103 thousand and $24 thousand , respectively.

Due to/from Affiliates, Net—

Amounts due to/from affiliates, net consist of related party receivables and payables from affiliates of BPO primarily for fees for property management and other services. These amounts are due on demand and are non‑interest bearing.

Deferred Charges, Net—

Leasing costs are deferred and are presented as deferred charges in the consolidated balance sheet net of accumulated amortization totaling $49.6 million and $38.2 million as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 , respectively. Deferred leasing costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related leases as part of depreciation and amortization in the consolidated statement of operations.

Prepaid and Other Assets, Net—

Prepaid and other assets include prepaid insurance, prepaid real estate taxes and other operating costs.

Mortgage Loans, Net—

Mortgage loans are presented in the consolidated balance sheet net of unamortized discounts and debt issuance costs totaling $9.1 million and $6.0 million as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 , respectively.

Discounts and debt issuance costs totaling $4.3 million , $5.1 million and $6.0 million were amortized during the years ended December 31, 2016 , 2015 and 2014 , respectively, over the terms of the related mortgage loans on a basis that approximates the effective interest method and are included as part of interest expense in the consolidated statement of operations.

Revenue Recognition—

Rental income from leases providing for periodic increases in base rent is recognized on a straight-line basis over the noncancelable term of the respective leases. Certain leases with retail tenants also provide for the payment by the lessee of additional rent based on a percentage of the tenants’ sales. Percentage rents are recognized only after the tenant sales thresholds have been achieved.

BROOKFIELD DTLA FUND OFFICE TRUST INVESTOR INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

Recoveries of operating expenses and real estate taxes are recorded as tenant reimbursements in the consolidated statement of operations in the period during which the expenses are incurred.

Income Taxes—

Brookfield DTLA has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) pursuant to Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), commencing with its tax period ended December 31, 2013. Brookfield DTLA conducts and intends to conduct its operations so as to continue to qualify as a REIT. Accordingly, Brookfield DTLA is not subject to U.S. federal income tax, provided that it continues to qualify as a REIT and distributions to its stockholders, if any, generally equal or exceed its taxable income. Brookfield DTLA has elected to treat certain of its subsidiaries as taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRS”). Certain activities that we undertake must be conducted by a TRS, such as non-customary services for our tenants, and holding assets that we cannot hold directly. A TRS is subject to both federal and state income taxes.

Qualification and taxation as a REIT depends upon Brookfield DTLA’s ability to meet the various qualification tests imposed under the Code related to annual operating results, asset diversification, distribution levels and diversity of stock ownership. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that Brookfield DTLA will be organized or be able to operate in a manner so as to continue to qualify as a REIT. If Brookfield DTLA fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, it will be subject to federal and state income tax on its taxable income at regular corporate tax rates, and it may be ineligible to qualify as a REIT for four subsequent tax years. Brookfield DTLA may also be subject to certain state or local income taxes, or franchise taxes on its REIT activities.

Brookfield DTLA made no provision for income taxes in its consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2016 , 2015 and 2014 . Brookfield DTLA’s taxable income or loss is different than its financial statement income or loss.

Brookfield DTLA recognizes tax benefits from uncertain tax positions when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits. Income tax positions must meet a more likely than not recognition threshold. Brookfield DTLA had no unrecognized tax benefits of December 31, 2016 and 2015 , and Brookfield DTLA does not expect its unrecognized tax benefits balance to change during the next 12 months. As of December 31, 2016 , Brookfield DTLA’s 2013  tax period and 2014 and 2015 tax years remain open due to the statute of limitations and may be subject to examination by federal, state and local authorities. The 2012 tax year as well as the short tax period ended October 15, 2013 for Brookfield DTLA and its subsidiaries remain open due to the statute of limitations and may be subject to examination by federal, state and local tax authorities.

Derivative Financial Instruments—

Brookfield DTLA uses interest rate swap and cap contracts to manage risk from fluctuations in interest rates as well as to hedge anticipated future financing transactions. Interest rate swaps involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts in exchange for fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying principal amount. Interest rate caps involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts beyond a specified strike price over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying principal amount. The Company believes these agreements are with counterparties who are creditworthy financial institutions.

Brookfield DTLA adheres to the provisions of ASC Subtopic 815-10-15, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815-10-15”). ASC 815-10-15 establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. It requires the recognition of all derivative instruments as assets or liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet at fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivative instruments that are not designated as hedges, or that do not meet the hedge accounting criteria in ASC 815-10-15, are required to be reported through the statement of operations. Brookfield DTLA has elected to designate its interest rate swap as a cash flow hedge.

Segment Reporting

Brookfield DTLA operates in a single reportable segment referred to as its office segment, which includes the operation and management of commercial office properties. Each of Brookfield DTLA’s operating properties is considered a separate operating segment, as each property earns revenues and incurs expenses, individual operating results are reviewed and discrete financial information is available. Management does not distinguish or group Brookfield DTLA’s consolidated operations based on geography, size or type. Brookfield DTLA’s operating properties have similar economic characteristics and provide similar products and services to tenants. As a result, Brookfield DTLA’s operating properties are aggregated into a single reportable segment.

Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations

Brookfield DTLA has evaluated whether it has any conditional asset retirement obligations, which are a legal obligation to perform an asset retirement activity in which the timing and/or method of settlement are conditional upon future events that may or may not be within an entity’s control. The obligation to perform the asset retirement activity is unconditional even though uncertainty exists about the timing and/or method of settlement. Accordingly, Brookfield DTLA recognized a liability for a conditional asset retirement obligation.

We do not have a commitment from the lenders to extend the maturity date of or to refinance this loan.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

This loan will most likely require a paydown upon extension or refinancing (depending on market conditions), funding of additional reserve amounts, or both. As of December 31, 2016 , Brookfield DTLA anticipates the need for additional cash of approximately $90 million to complete the refinancing. We may use cash on hand to make any such payments or cash received as a capital contribution from Brookfield DTLA Holdings. If we are unable or unwilling to use cash on hand or do not use cash contributed by Brookfield DTLA Holdings to make such payments, we may face challenges in repaying, extending or refinancing this loan on favorable terms or at all, and we may be forced to give back the asset to the lenders.

Figueroa at 7th—

Brookfield DTLA intends to extend or refinance the $35.0 million mortgage loan secured by Figueroa at 7th on or about its September 10, 2017 maturity date. Brookfield DTLA has two  options to extend the maturity date of this loan, each for a period of 12  months, subject to meeting certain debt yield and loan to value ratios (as specified in the loan agreement). As of December 31, 2016 , we meet the criteria specified in the loan agreement to extend the maturity date of this loan.

Funding of Wells Fargo Center–North Tower Collateral Reserve

In connection with the MPG acquisition, Brookfield DTLA Holdings assumed the mortgage loan secured by the Wells Fargo Center–North Tower office property. In connection with the loan assumption, Brookfield DTLA Holdings agreed to deposit funds into a collateral reserve account held by the lender, of which $2.5 million was funded by Brookfield DTLA in each of the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 , respectively. The collateral reserve is included as part of restricted cash in the consolidated balance sheet.

MPG Office, L.P. Tax Indemnification Agreements

In connection with tax indemnification agreements entered into with MPG Office, L.P. prior to the acquisition of MPG in 2013 by Brookfield DTLA, Robert F. Maguire III, certain entities owned or controlled by Mr. Maguire, and other contributors to MPG at the time of its initial public offering guaranteed a portion of the Wells Fargo Center–North Tower and Gas Company Tower mortgage loans. As of December 31, 2016 , these loans are no longer subject to such guarantees.

Non-Recourse Carve Out Guarantees

All of Brookfield DTLA’s $2.1 billion of mortgage debt is subject to “non-recourse carve out” guarantees that expire upon elimination of the underlying loan obligations. In connection with all of these loans, Brookfield DTLA entered into “non-recourse carve out” guarantees, which provide for these otherwise non-recourse loans to become partially or fully recourse against Brookfield DTLA Holdings or one of its subsidiaries, if certain triggering events occur. Although these events differ from loan to loan, some of the common events include:

The special purpose property-owning subsidiary of Brookfield DTLA Holdings or Brookfield DTLA Holdings filing a voluntary petition for bankruptcy;

The special purpose property-owning subsidiary of Brookfield DTLA Holdings’ failure to maintain its status as a special purpose entity;

Subject to certain conditions, the special purpose property-owning subsidiary of Brookfield DTLA Holdings’ failure to obtain the lender’s written consent prior to any subordinate financing or other voluntary lien encumbering the associated property; and

Subject to certain conditions, the special purpose property-owning subsidiary of Brookfield DTLA Holdings’ failure to obtain the lender’s written consent prior to a transfer or conveyance of the associated property, including, in some cases, indirect transfers in connection with a change in control of Brookfield DTLA Holdings or Brookfield DTLA.

In addition, other items that are customarily recourse to a non-recourse carve out guarantor include, but are not limited to, the payment of real property taxes, the breach of representations related to environmental issues or hazardous substances, physical waste of the property, liens which are senior to the mortgage loan and outstanding security deposits.

The maximum amount Brookfield DTLA Holdings would be required to pay under a “non‑recourse carve out” guarantee is the principal amount of the loan (or a total of $2.1 billion as of December 31, 2016 for all loans). This maximum amount does not include liabilities related to environmental issues or hazardous substances. Losses resulting from the breach of our loan agreement representations related to environmental issues or hazardous substances are generally recourse to Brookfield DTLA Holdings pursuant to the “non-recourse carve out” guarantees and any such losses would be in addition to the total principal amounts of the loans. The potential losses are not quantifiable and can be material in certain circumstances, depending on the severity of the environmental or hazardous substance issues. Since each of our non-recourse loans is secured by the office building owned by the special purpose property-owning subsidiary of Brookfield DTLA Holdings, the amount due to the lender from Brookfield DTLA Holdings in the event a “non-recourse carve out” guarantee is triggered could subsequently be partially or fully mitigated by the net proceeds received from any disposition of the office building; however, such proceeds may not be sufficient to cover the maximum potential amount due, depending on the particular asset.

Debt Reporting

Pursuant to the terms of certain of our mortgage loan agreements, Brookfield DTLA is required to report a debt service coverage ratio (“DSCR”) calculated using the formulas specified in the underlying loan agreements. We have submitted the required reports to the lenders for the measurement periods ended December 31, 2016 and were in compliance with the amounts required by the loan agreements.

Pursuant to the terms of the Wells Fargo Center–North Tower, EY Plaza, and Figueroa at 7th mortgage loan agreements, we are required to provide annual audited financial statements of Brookfield DTLA Holdings to the lenders or agents. The receipt of any opinion other than an “unqualified” audit opinion on our annual audited financial statements is an event of default under the loan agreements for the properties listed above. If an event of default occurs, the lenders have the right to pursue the remedies contained in the loan documents, including acceleration of all or a portion of the debt and foreclosure.

Note 5 —Mezzanine Equity

Mezzanine equity in the consolidated balance sheet is comprised of the Series A preferred stock, a Series A-1 preferred interest, a senior participating preferred interest and, as of December 31, 2016 , a Series B preferred interest (collectively, the “Preferred Interests”). The Series A-1 preferred interest, senior participating preferred interest and Series B preferred interest are held by a noncontrolling interest holder. The Preferred Interests are classified in mezzanine equity because they are callable, and the holder of the Series A-1 preferred interest, senior participating preferred interest, Series B preferred interest, and some of the Series A preferred stock indirectly controls the ability to elect to redeem such instruments, through its controlling interest in the Company and its subsidiaries. There is no commitment or obligation on the part of Brookfield DTLA or Brookfield DTLA Holdings to redeem the Preferred Interests. See “—Series B Preferred Interest” below for a discussion of the issuance of the Series B preferred interest during the year ended December 31, 2016 .

The Preferred Interests included within mezzanine equity were recorded at fair value on the date of issuance and have been adjusted to the greater of their carrying amount or redemption value as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 . Adjustments to increase the carrying amount to redemption value are recorded in the consolidated statement of operations as a redemption measurement adjustment.

Dividends and Distributions

On January 4, 2016 , Brookfield DTLA paid a cash dividend of $2.25  per share to holders of record of its Series A preferred stock at the close of business on December 15, 2015 using cash on hand. This dividend payment reduced the accumulated and unpaid dividends owed on the Series A preferred stock by $21.9 million . Any future dividends declared would be at the discretion of Brookfield DTLA’s board of directors and would depend on its financial condition, results of operations, contractual obligations and the terms of its financing agreements at the time a dividend is considered, and other relevant factors.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

During the years ended December 31, 2016 , 2015 and 2014 , the Company paid distributions and dividends totaling $0.6 million , $35.8 million and $220.0 million , respectively, to Brookfield DTLA Holdings related to the senior participating preferred interest.

Series A Preferred Stock

Brookfield DTLA is authorized to issue up to 10,000,000  shares of Series A preferred stock, $0.01  par value per share, with a liquidation preference of $25.00  per share. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015 , 9,730,370  shares of Series A preferred stock were outstanding, of which 9,357,469  shares were issued to third parties and 372,901  shares were issued to DTLA Fund Holding Co., a subsidiary of Brookfield DTLA Holdings.

On January 4, 2016 , Brookfield DTLA paid a cash dividend of $2.25  per share to holders of record of its Series A preferred stock at the close of business on December 15, 2015 using cash on hand. This dividend payment reduced the accumulated and unpaid dividends owed on the Series A preferred stock by $21.9 million . The dividend was declared on December 4, 2015 by the board of directors in connection with the settlement on a class-wide basis of the litigation brought in Maryland State Court and styled as In re MPG Office Trust Inc. Preferred Shareholder Litigation , Case No. 24‑C-13-004097. See Note 13 “Commitments and Contingencies—Litigation—Merger-Related Litigation” for additional information regarding the dividend payment.

No  dividends were declared on the Series A preferred stock during the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2014 . Dividends on the Series A preferred stock are cumulative, and therefore, will continue to accrue at an annual rate of $1.90625  per share. As of December 31, 2016 , the cumulative amount of unpaid dividends totals $129.6 million and has been reflected in the carrying amount of the Series A preferred stock.

The Series A preferred stock does not have a stated maturity and is not subject to any sinking fund or mandatory redemption provisions. Upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the Series A preferred stock will rank senior to our common stock with respect to the payment of distributions. We may, at our option, redeem the Series A preferred stock, in whole or in part, for cash at a redemption price of $25.00  per share, plus all accumulated and unpaid dividends on such Series A preferred stock up to and including the redemption date. The Series A preferred stock is not convertible into or exchangeable for any other property or securities of Brookfield DTLA.

As of December 31, 2016 , the Series A preferred stock is reported at its redemption value of $372.9 million calculated using the redemption price of $25.00  per share plus all accumulated and unpaid dividends on such Series A preferred stock through December 31, 2016 .

Series A-1 Preferred Interest

The Series A-1 preferred interest is held by Brookfield DTLA Holdings or wholly owned subsidiaries of Brookfield DTLA Holdings and has a stated value of $225.7 million .

The Series A-1 preferred interest has mirror rights to the Series A preferred interests issued by New OP, which are held by a wholly owned subsidiary of Brookfield DTLA, but only with respect to their respective preferred liquidation preferences, and share pro rata with 48.13% to the Series A-1 preferred interest and 51.87% to the Series A preferred interest based on their current liquidation preferences in accordance with their respective preferred liquidation preferences in distributions from New OP, until their preferred liquidation preferences have been reduced to zero. Thereafter, distributions will be made 47.66% to the common component of the Series A interest and 52.34% to the common component of the Series B interest, which is held by Brookfield DTLA Holdings. The economic terms of the Series A preferred stock mirror those of the New OP Series A preferred interests, including distributions in respect of the preferred liquidation preference.

As of December 31, 2016 , the Series A-1 preferred interest is reported at its redemption value of $366.3 million calculated using its liquidation value of $225.7 million plus $140.6 million of accumulated and unpaid dividends on such Series A-1 preferred interest through December 31, 2016 .

Table of Contents


BROOKFIELD DTLA FUND OFFICE TRUST INVESTOR INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

The Series B preferred interest in New OP held by Brookfield DTLA Holdings is effectively senior to the interest in New OP held by Brookfield DTLA and has a priority on distributions senior to the equity securities of such subsidiaries held indirectly by Brookfield DTLA and, as a result, effectively rank senior to the Series A preferred stock. The Series B preferred interest in New OP may limit the amount of funds available to Brookfield DTLA for any purpose, including for dividends or other distributions to holders of its capital stock, including the Series A preferred stock.

As of December 31, 2016 , the Series B preferred interest is reported at its redemption value of $65.4 million calculated using its liquidation value of $63.3 million plus $2.1 million of accumulated and unpaid dividends on such Series B preferred interest through December 31, 2016 .

Subsequent to December 31, 2016 , the Company received $30.0 million in cash contributions from Brookfield DTLA Holdings that increased the liquidation value of the Series B preferred interest and is entitled to a preferred return of 9.0% .

Note 9— Fair Value Measurements

ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures , defines fair value and establishes a framework for measuring fair value. The objective of fair value is to determine 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 exit price).

ASC Topic 820 established a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into three categories:

Level 1—Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date.

Level 2—Observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted in active markets, but corroborated by market data.

Level 3—Unobservable prices that are used when little or no market data is available.

The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs and the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs. Brookfield DTLA utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs, to the extent possible, as well as consider counterparty credit risk in its assessment of fair value.

Recurring Measurements

The valuation of Brookfield DTLA’s interest rate swap is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flow of the derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivative, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities. We have incorporated credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both our own and the respective counterparty’s non-performance risk in the fair value measurements.

Note 11 —Related Party Transactions

Intercompany Loan

Brookfield DTLA was indebted to BOP Management Inc. (“BOP”), an affiliate of BPO, under a $25.0 million promissory note dated October 11, 2013 that bore interest at  3.25% . For the year ended December 31, 2014 , the Company accrued $0.6 million of interest expense related to this note. During September 2014, Brookfield DTLA paid $25.8 million in full settlement of the principal and interest outstanding on the intercompany loan using proceeds from the mortgage loan secured by the Figueroa at 7th retail property.

Management Agreements

Brookfield DTLA has entered into arrangements with BOP under which the affiliate provides property management and various other services. Property management fees under these agreements are calculated based on 2.75% of rents collected (as defined in the management agreements). In addition, the Company pays BOP Asset Manager LLC and Brookfield Asset Management Private Institutional Capital Adviser US, LLC an asset management fee, which is calculated based on 0.75% of the capital contributed by Brookfield DTLA Holdings.

Insurance Agreements

Brookfield DTLA’s properties are covered under insurance policies entered into by BPO that provide, among other things, all risk property and business interruption coverage for BPO’s commercial portfolio with an aggregate limit of $2.5 billion per occurrence as well as an aggregate limit of $370.0 million of earthquake, flood and weather catastrophe insurance. In addition, Brookfield DTLA’s properties are covered by a terrorism insurance policy that provides aggregate coverage of $4.0 billion for all of BPO’s U.S. properties. Brookfield DTLA is in compliance with the contractual obligations regarding terrorism insurance contained in such policies. Insurance premiums for Brookfield DTLA’s properties are paid by an affiliate of BPO and Brookfield DTLA reimburses this BPO affiliate for the actual cost of such premiums.

Prior to their expiration, which became effective on April 19, 2014, the MPG properties were covered under an insurance policy that provided all risk property and business interruption coverage with an aggregate limit of $1.25 billion and a $130.0 million aggregate limit of earthquake insurance, and a terrorism insurance policy with a $1.25 billion aggregate limit. Effective April 19, 2014, the MPG properties were added to the existing BPO insurance policies described above.

Note 12—Rental Income

Brookfield DTLA’s properties are leased to tenants under net operating leases with initial expiration dates ranging from 2017 to 2035 .

Certain leases with retail tenants also provide for the payment by the lessee of additional rent based on a percentage of the tenants’ sales. The amounts shown in the table above do not include percentage rents. The Company recorded percentage rents totaling $2.8 million , $2.8 million and $1.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2016 , 2015 and 2014 , respectively.

Note 13 —Commitments and Contingencies

Tenant Concentration

Brookfield DTLA generally does not require collateral or other security from its tenants, other than security deposits or letters of credit. Our credit risk is mitigated by the high quality of our existing tenant base, review of prospective tenants’ risk profiles prior to lease execution, and frequent monitoring of our tenant portfolio to identify problem tenants. However, since we have a significant concentration of rental revenue from certain tenants, the inability of those tenants to make their lease payments could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, cash flow or financial condition.

A significant portion of Brookfield DTLA’s rental income and tenant reimbursements revenue is generated by a small number of tenants. No tenant accounted for more than  10% of our consolidated rental income and tenant reimbursements revenue during the years ended December 31, 2016 , 2015 and 2014 .

During the years ended December 31, 2016 , 2015 and 2014 , EY Plaza, BOA Plaza, Wells Fargo Center–North Tower, Wells Fargo Center–South Tower, Gas Company Tower and 777 Tower each contributed more than  10% of Brookfield DTLA’s consolidated revenue. The revenue generated by these six  properties totaled  100% , 98% and 100% of Brookfield DTLA’s consolidated revenue during the years ended December 31, 2016 , 2015 and 2014 , respectively.

Litigation

General—

Brookfield DTLA and its subsidiaries may be subject to pending legal proceedings and litigation incidental to its business. After consultation with legal counsel, management believes that any liability that may potentially result upon resolution of such matters is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition or consolidated financial statements as a whole.

Merger-Related Litigation—

Following the announcement of the execution of the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of April 24, 2013, as amended (the “Merger Agreement”), seven  putative class actions were filed against Brookfield Office Properties Inc. (“BPO”), Brookfield DTLA, Brookfield DTLA Holdings LLC, Brookfield DTLA Fund Office Trust Inc., Brookfield DTLA Fund Properties (collectively, the “Brookfield Parties”), MPG Office Trust, Inc., MPG Office, L.P., and the members of MPG Office Trust, Inc.’s board of directors. Five of these lawsuits were filed on behalf of MPG Office Trust, Inc.’s common stockholders: (i)  two  lawsuits, captioned Coyne v. MPG Office Trust, Inc., et al ., No. BC507342 (the “Coyne Action”), and Masih v. MPG Office Trust, Inc., et al. , No. BC507962 (the “Masih Action”), were filed in the Superior Court of the State of California in Los Angeles County (the “California State Court”) on April 29, 2013 and May 3, 2013, respectively; and (ii)  three  lawsuits, captioned Kim v. MPG Office Trust, Inc. et al ., No. 24‑C-13-002600 (the “Kim Action”), Perkins v. MPG Office Trust, Inc., et al. , No. 24-C-13-002778 (the “Perkins Action”) and Dell’Osso v. MPG Office Trust, Inc., et al., No. 24‑C-13-003283 (the “Dell’Osso Action”) were filed in the Circuit Court for Baltimore City, Maryland on May 1, 2013, May 8, 2013 and May 22, 2013, respectively (collectively, the “Common Stock Actions”). Two  lawsuits, captioned Cohen v. MPG Office Trust, Inc. et al. , No. 24-C-13-004097 (the “Cohen Action”) and Donlan v. Weinstein, et al ., No. 24‑C-13-004293 (the “Donlan Action”), were filed on behalf of MPG Office Trust, Inc.’s preferred stockholders in the Circuit Court for Baltimore City, Maryland on June 20, 2013 and July 2, 2013, respectively (collectively, the “Preferred Stock Actions”).

In each of the Common Stock Actions, the plaintiffs allege, among other things, that MPG Office Trust, Inc.’s board of directors breached their fiduciary duties in connection with the merger by failing to maximize the value of MPG Office Trust, Inc. and ignoring or failing to protect against conflicts of interest, and that the relevant Brookfield Parties named as defendants aided and abetted those breaches of fiduciary duty. The Kim Action further alleges that MPG Office, L.P. also aided and abetted the breaches of fiduciary duty by MPG Office Trust, Inc.’s board of directors, and the Dell’Osso Action further alleges that MPG Office Trust, Inc. and MPG Office, L.P. aided and abetted the breaches of fiduciary duty by MPG Office Trust, Inc.’s board of directors. On June 4, 2013, the Kim and Perkins plaintiffs filed identical, amended complaints in the Circuit Court for Baltimore City, Maryland. On June 5, 2013, the Masih plaintiffs also filed an amended complaint in the Superior Court of the State of California in Los Angeles County. The three  amended complaints, as well as the Dell’Osso Action complaint, allege that the preliminary proxy statement filed by MPG Office Trust, Inc. with the SEC on May 21, 2013 is false and/or misleading because it fails to include certain details of the process leading up to the merger and fails to provide adequate information concerning MPG Office Trust, Inc.’s financial advisors.

Table of Contents


BROOKFIELD DTLA FUND OFFICE TRUST INVESTOR INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

In each of the Preferred Stock Actions, which were brought on behalf of MPG Office Trust, Inc.’s preferred stockholders, the plaintiffs allege, among other things, that, by entering into the Merger Agreement and tender offer, MPG Office Trust, Inc. breached the Articles Supplementary, which governs the issuance of the MPG preferred shares, that MPG Office Trust, Inc.’s board of directors breached their fiduciary duties by agreeing to a merger agreement that violated the preferred stockholders’ contractual rights and that the relevant Brookfield Parties named as defendants aided and abetted those breaches of contract and fiduciary duty. On July 15, 2013, the plaintiffs in the Preferred Stock Actions filed a joint amended complaint in the Circuit Court for Baltimore City, Maryland that further alleged that MPG Office Trust, Inc.’s board of directors failed to disclose material information regarding BPO’s extension of the tender offer.

The plaintiffs in the seven  lawsuits sought an injunction against the merger, rescission or rescissory damages in the event the merger has been consummated, an award of fees and costs, including attorneys’ and experts’ fees, and other relief.

On July 10, 2013, solely to avoid the costs, risks and uncertainties inherent in litigation, the Brookfield Parties and the other named defendants in the Common Stock Actions signed a memorandum of understanding, regarding a proposed settlement of all claims asserted therein. The parties subsequently entered into a stipulation of settlement dated November 21, 2013 providing for the release of all asserted claims, additional disclosures by MPG concerning the merger made prior to the merger’s approval, and the payment, by defendants, of an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses in an amount not to exceed $475,000 . After a hearing on June 4, 2014, the California State Court granted plaintiffs’ motion for final approval of the settlement and entered a Final Order and Judgment, awarding plaintiffs’ counsel’s attorneys’ fees and expenses in the amount of $475,000 , which was paid by MPG Office LLC on June 18, 2014.

In the Preferred Stock Actions, at a hearing on July 24, 2013, the Maryland State Court denied the plaintiffs’ motion for preliminary injunction seeking to enjoin the tender offer. The plaintiffs filed a second amended complaint on November 22, 2013 that added additional arguments in support of their allegations that the new preferred shares do not have the same rights as the MPG preferred shares. The defendants moved to dismiss the second amended complaint on December 20, 2013, and briefing on the motion concluded on February 28, 2014. At a hearing on June 18, 2014, the Maryland State Court heard oral arguments on the defendants’ motion to dismiss and reserved judgment on the decision. On October 21, 2014, the parties sent a joint letter to the Maryland State Court stating that since the June 18 meeting the parties have commenced discussions towards a possible resolution of the lawsuit, requesting that the court temporarily refrain from deciding the pending motion to dismiss to facilitate the discussions.

On March 30, 2015 , the plaintiff in the Cohen Actions and the defendants entered into a memorandum of understanding setting forth an agreement in principle to settle the Preferred Stock Actions on a class-wide basis and dismiss the case with prejudice in exchange for the payment of $2.25  per share of Series A preferred stock of accumulated and unpaid dividends (the “Dividend Payment”) to holders of record on a record date to be set after final approval of the settlement by the Maryland State Court, plus any attorneys’ fees awarded by the Maryland State Court to the plaintiff’s

counsel. The dividend would reduce the amount of accumulated and unpaid dividends on the Series A preferred stock, and the terms of the Series A preferred stock would otherwise remain unchanged.

On August 18, 2015, the Maryland State Court entered an order preliminarily approving the settlement and scheduling a final fairness hearing for October 27, 2015. On September 28, 2015, the plaintiff filed a motion for final certification of the settlement class, final approval of the class action settlement and approval of attorneys’ fees and reimbursement of expenses, seeking a total fee and expense award of $5,250,000 . The defendants submitted their opposition to the plaintiff’s fee application on October 13, 2015.

On October 16, 2015, the plaintiff filed a motion seeking discovery related to the valuation of the Dividend Payment in connection with its fee application and served related discovery requests on the defendants. On October 23, 2015, the defendants filed their opposition to that motion, as well as a motion for a protective order precluding discovery. On October 27, 2015, the Maryland State Court held a hearing to decide whether to grant final approval of the settlement and to rule on the parties’ discovery motions. At the hearing, the Court ordered limited discovery to occur prior to ruling on the fee application.

On October 28, 2015, the Maryland State Court issued an order granting final approval of the settlement. The time to appeal the order expired on November 30, 2015 without any appeals having been filed. On December 4, 2015 , in accordance with the final approval order and the terms of the parties’ settlement agreement, the board of directors declared a cash dividend of $2.25  per share to holders of record of its Series A preferred stock at the close of business on December 15, 2015 . On January 4, 2016 , Brookfield DTLA paid the Dividend Payment totaling $21.9 million using cash on hand.

On December 16, 2015, after taking certain limited discovery permitted by the Maryland State Court during the October 27 hearing, the plaintiff served the defendants with its reply memorandum of law in support of its motion for attorneys’ fees and expenses. That same day, the plaintiff requested that the Court permit it to file the reply memorandum and an exhibit thereto under seal given the confidential nature of the information contained therein. On December 17, 2015, the plaintiff provided the Court with plaintiff’s counsel’s time records for the Court’s in camera review. On January 15, 2016, the defendants filed a surreply to the plaintiff’s reply memorandum after obtaining the Court’s permission to do so. After a hearing on April 6, 2016, the Maryland State Court issued an order on April 18, 2016 granting an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses to the plaintiffs totaling $2,212,688 . On April 21, 2016 , the Company paid the awarded amount to the plaintiffs’ counsel.

On July 13, 2016 , BPO and the Company entered into a settlement agreement with the insurance carrier under the MPG directors and officers liability insurance policy that was in effect at the time of the merger. On August 17, 2016 , the Company received a settlement payment from the insurance carrier totaling $1,106,344 , which partially reimbursed the Company for amounts paid to settle both the Common Stock Actions and the Preferred Stock Actions. The Company included the settlement in interest and other revenue in its consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2016 .

Brookfield DTLA maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) or Rule 15d-15(e) under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

As required by SEC Rule 13a-15(b), Brookfield DTLA carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of its management, including its principal executive officer and its principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of Brookfield DTLA’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, Paul L. Schulman, our principal executive officer, and Edward F. Beisner, our principal financial officer, concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of December 31, 2016 .

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)). Our management, including Messrs. Schulman and Beisner, evaluated the effectiveness of Brookfield DTLA’s internal control over financial reporting using the framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2016 .

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in Brookfield DTLA’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2016 that have materially affected, or that are reasonable likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Paul L. Schulman has served on the board of directors since November 2013 and was elected Chairman of the Board and appointed as President of the Company in August 2014. See “Executive Officers of the Registrant” for Mr. Schulman’s biographical information. The board of directors nominated Mr. Schulman to serve as a director and Chairman based, among other factors, on his knowledge of the Company, leadership capabilities and his experience in commercial real estate.

Robert L. Stelzl has served on the board of directors since January 2014. Mr. Stelzl is a private real estate investor and investment manager. In 2003, he retired from Colony Capital, LLC, a global real estate private equity investor, after 14 years as a principal and member of the Investment Committee.

Previously, Mr. Tang was Executive Director, Finance & Asset Management of China Xintiandi from March 2014 to February 2016, Chief Financial Officer of BPO’s Australian Commercial Operations from March 2011 to March 2014, and Vice President and Controller of Brookfield Canada Office Properties from July 2007 to March 2011. The board of directors nominated Mr. Tang to serve as a director based, among other factors, on his knowledge of the Company and his experience in financial matters and commercial real estate.

Board Leadership Structure and Risk Oversight

The Amended Bylaws give the board of directors the flexibility to determine whether the roles of principal executive officer and Chairman of the Board should be held by the same person or by two separate individuals. In connection with the listing of the Series A preferred stock on the NYSE, the board of directors determined that having one person serve as both principal executive officer and Chairman of the Board is in the best interest of the Company’s stockholders. We believe this structure makes the best use of the principal executive officer’s extensive knowledge of the Company and fosters real-time communication between management and the board of directors. Mr. Schulman has served as Chairman of the Board and President of the Company since August 2014 and is considered our principal executive officer.

The board of directors is actively involved in overseeing Brookfield DTLA’s risk management. Under our Corporate Governance Guidelines, the board of directors is responsible for assessing the major risks facing the Company and its business and approving and monitoring appropriate systems to manage those risks. Under its charter, the Audit Committee is responsible for reviewing and approving the Company’s policies with respect to risk assessment and management, particularly financial risk exposure, and discussing with management the steps taken to monitor and control risks.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) requires that our executive officers and directors, and beneficial owners of more than 10% of a registered class of our equity securities, file reports of ownership and changes in ownership of such securities with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Such officers, directors and greater than 10% stockholders are also required to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.


105

Table of Contents

Based on our review of the copies of all Section 16(a) forms received by us and other information, we believe that with regard to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 , all of our executive officers, directors and greater than 10% stockholders complied with all applicable filing requirements, except as follows: due to inadvertence by the Company, Ricky Tang was late in filing a Form 3 with respect to his ownership of Series A preferred stock. The required form was filed on May 13, 2016.

Changes to Nominating Procedures for Use by Security Holders

There were no material changes to the procedures by which stockholders may recommend nominees to the board of directors during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 .

Board Governance Documents

The board of directors has also adopted the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics and Personal Trading Policy of Brookfield Asset Management Inc.

Audit Committee

The Audit Committee was established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Exchange Act. Since 2014, Mr. Stelzl has been the Chairman of the Audit Committee and Mr. Perry has been a member of the Audit Committee. Each of Messrs. Stelzl and Perry is an independent director.

The composition of the Audit Committee meets the NYSE requirements for a special purpose entity, including the requirements dealing with financial literacy and financial sophistication. As a special purpose entity under NYSE rules, the board of directors is not required to determine whether any members of the Audit Committee qualify as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined by the SEC. The independent members of the Audit Committee satisfy the enhanced independence standards applicable to audit committees set forth in Rule 10A-3(b)(i) under the Exchange Act and the NYSE listing standards.

Item 11.      Executive Compensation.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Brookfield DTLA does not directly employ any of the persons responsible for managing its business. BPO, through Brookfield DTLA Holdings, manages our operations and activities, and it, together with its board of directors and officers, makes decisions on our behalf. Our executive officers are employed by affiliates of BPO and we do not directly or indirectly pay any compensation to them. The compensation of the executive officers is set by their employer and we have no control over the determination of their compensation. Our executive officers participate in employee benefit plans and arrangements sponsored by BPO and its affiliates. We have not established any employee benefit plans or entered into any employment agreements with any of our executive officers.

Affiliates of BPO determines the total compensation paid to our executive officers. In determining this compensation, they consider, among other things, BPO’s business, results of operations and financial condition taken as a whole. For a detailed discussion of the objectives of BPO’s compensation program, the elements of its compensation program and how compensation is determined, please refer to BPO’s most recently filed Annual Information Form, which is available on BPO’s website at www.bpoinvestor.com under the heading “Investors—Reports & Filings—Annual Information Forms” and at the Canadian Securities Administrator’s website SEDAR at www.sedar.com .

Compensation Risk Assessment

Brookfield DTLA believes that the compensation policies and practices of the Company, and of BPO and its affiliates with respect to the executive officers of the Company, appropriately balance risk in connection with the achievement of annual and long-term goals and that they do not encourage unnecessary or excessive risk taking. Brookfield DTLA believes that the compensation policies and practices of the Company, and of BPO with respect to the executive officers of the Company, are not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on its financial position or results of operations.

Series A Preferred Stock

Based on our review of all forms filed by holders of the Series A preferred stock with the SEC with respect to ownership of shares of the Series A preferred stock and other information, as of March 17, 2017 , set forth below is a table that shows how much of our Series A preferred stock was beneficially owned on March 17, 2017 , by each person known to us to beneficially own more than 5% of our Series A preferred stock. Please note that under U.S. securities laws, the Series A preferred stock is generally not considered voting stock and, therefore, persons beneficially owning more than 5% of our Series A preferred stock have no obligation to notify us or the SEC of their beneficial ownership of such Series A preferred stock. Consequently, there may be other holders of more than 5% of the Series A preferred stock that are not known to us.

Under Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act, certain shares may be deemed to be beneficially owned by more than one person (if, for example, a person shares the power to vote or the power to dispose of the shares). In addition, shares are deemed to be beneficially owned by a person if the person has the right to acquire the shares (for example, upon exercise of an option) within 60 days of the date as of which the information is provided. In computing the percentage ownership of any person, the amount of shares outstanding is deemed to include the amount of shares beneficially owned by such person (and only such person) by reason of these acquisition rights. As a result, the percentage of outstanding shares of any person as shown in this table does not necessarily reflect the person’s actual ownership or voting power with respect to the number of shares of Series A preferred stock actually outstanding as of March 17, 2017 .

Policies and Procedures for Related Party Transactions

Under Brookfield DTLA’s Corporate Governance Guidelines, each director is required to inform the board of directors of any potential or actual conflicts, or what might appear to be a conflict of interest he or she may have with the Company. If a director has a personal interest in a matter before the board of directors or a committee, he or she must not participate in any vote on the matter except where the board of directors or the committee has expressly determined that it is appropriate for him or her to do so. Under BAM’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, officer and employee conflicts of interest are generally prohibited as a matter of Company policy.

Intercompany Loan

Brookfield DTLA was indebted to BOP under a $25.0 million promissory note dated October 11, 2013 that bore interest at  3.25% .

During September 2014, Brookfield DTLA paid $25.8 million in full settlement of the principal and interest outstanding on the intercompany loan using proceeds from the mortgage loan secured by the Figueroa at 7th retail property.

Management Agreements

Brookfield DTLA has entered into arrangements with BOP under which the affiliate provides property management and various other services. Property management fees under these agreements are calculated based on 2.75% of rents collected (as defined in the management agreements). In addition, the Company pays BOP Asset Manager LLC and Brookfield Asset Management Private Institutional Capital Adviser US, LLC an asset management fee, which is calculated based on 0.75% of the capital contributed by Brookfield DTLA Holdings.

Director Independence

Because the Series A preferred stock is the only publicly listed security of the Company, the Company is a special purpose entity as defined by the NYSE rules on corporate governance (the “NYSE Rules”) and has chosen to rely on the NYSE Rules’ “special purpose entity exemption” with respect to certain independence requirements. Of the Company’s seven directors, three are currently independent of management and of Brookfield DTLA Holdings and BPO. The board of directors has adopted independence standards as part of its Corporate Governance Guidelines, which are available in print to any person who sends a written request to that effect to the attention of our Secretary, as provided for above under the heading “—Board Governance Documents.”

The independence standards contained in our Corporate Governance Guidelines incorporate the categories of relationships between a director and a listed company that would make a director ineligible to be independent according to the standards issued by the NYSE.

In accordance with the NYSE Rules and our Corporate Governance Guidelines, on March 16, 2017 , the board of directors affirmatively determined that each of the following directors is and was independent within the meaning of both our and the NYSE’s director independence standards, as then in effect:

(2)      Lender shall have received reasonably satisfactory evidence (which may be in the form of a certificate of Borrower) that all material permits, licenses and approvals required for any work associated with such requested Future Advance or disbursement from the Unfunded Obligations Reserve, as applicable, have been obtained (except to the extent the same are of a nature so as not to be obtainable or customarily issued until a later stage of construction) and are in full force and effect;
(3)      To the extent that Borrower is entitled under the applicable Lease to receive (or Borrower otherwise receives) the same from the applicable Tenant, Lender shall have received certificates from the applicable architect or engineer in connection with the applicable work that is the subject of the Tenant Allowance certifying to Borrower that all of such work that has been completed has been done substantially in compliance with the plans and specifications previously approved by Borrower in accordance with the terms of the applicable Lease and applicable Legal Requirements;

45



(4)      Except to the extent that the amount to be paid to any contractor is the subject of a good faith dispute by Borrower and is being contested pursuant to the applicable provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (provided that this exception shall not apply the final Future Advance or disbursement from the Unfunded Obligations Reserve Account, as applicable, for Tenant Allowances pursuant to a particular Lease) and except for payments under $50,000 and payments for FF&E (for which Borrower shall provide to Lender copies of invoices or paid receipts reflecting the amounts being requested), in each instance only, to the extent that Borrower is entitled under the applicable Lease to receive (or Borrower otherwise receives) the same from the applicable Tenant, Borrower shall have delivered to Lender (x) lien waivers (which shall be conditional lien waivers (for payments to be made from the pending Future Advance or disbursement from the Unfunded Obligations Reserve Account, as applicable) and (y) unconditional lien waivers (for all payments from prior Future Advances or disbursement from the Unfunded Obligations Reserve Account, as applicable)) executed and delivered by the general contractor for all work for which a Future Advance or disbursement from the Unfunded Obligations Reserve Account, as applicable, in respect of Tenant Allowances has previously been made or for which the Future Advance in respect of Tenant Allowances in question is being requested. For the avoidance of doubt, no portion of any Future Advance shall be advanced to Borrower or disbursement from the Unfunded Obligations Reserve Account made, as applicable, for the purpose of paying any amount due to any general contractor that is the subject of a dispute or that has not provided a lien waiver (unless the payment in question is under $50,000) as required pursuant to this Section 1.5(b)(iii)(O)(4) .
(P)      As a condition to the funding of Future Advances for Approved Leasing Costs and/or disbursements from the Unfunded Obligations Reserve Account for Unfunded Obligations, in each case, that involve Leasing Commissions, Lender shall have received reasonably satisfactory evidence that any Leasing Commissions that are then due to the brokers to whom lease commissions are payable with respect to the Lease in question have been paid in full (or will be paid in full from funds constituting a part of the requested Future Advance or disbursement from the Unfunded Obligations Reserve, as applicable).
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no conditions set forth in this Section 1.5 , other than conditions (A), (B) and (F) of this clause (iii) shall be applicable to any disbursements of Unfunded Obligations Reserve Funds on account of any Tenant Allowances converted to free rent in accordance with the terms of the applicable Executed Lease.
(iv)      Lender shall have no obligation to make a Future Advance and/or disbursement from the Unfunded Obligations Reserve Account, and Borrower shall not be entitled to request or receive a Future Advance and/or disbursement from the Unfunded Obligations Reserve Account, in either case, at any time during which an

46



Event of Default or Default has occurred and is continuing. The making of any Future Advance and/or disbursement from the Unfunded Obligations Reserve Account by Lender at the time when an Event of Default or Default has occurred and is continuing, if ever, shall not be deemed a waiver or cure by Lender and/or Lender of that Default or Event of Default, nor shall Lender’s and/or Lender’s rights and remedies be prejudiced in any manner thereby.
(v)      Each Lender’s obligations to perform in accordance with this Section 1.5 and to make any Future Advance and/or disbursement from the Unfunded Obligations Reserve Account in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement are an independent contract made by Lender to Borrower separate and apart from any other obligation of Lender to Borrower under the other provisions of this Agreement and the Loan Documents. The obligations of Borrower under this Agreement and the Loan Documents shall not be reduced, discharged or released because or by reason of any existing or future offset, claim or defense of Borrower, or any other party, against Lender by reason of Lender’s failure to perform its obligations under this Section 1.5 . Borrower and Guarantor acknowledge and agree that the failure of Lender to perform its obligations hereunder shall not affect the obligations of Borrower hereunder to any Person or the obligations of Guarantor to perform its obligations under the Recourse Guaranty or the Environmental Indemnity, nor shall any other Person be liable for the failure of Lender to perform its obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents; provided , that in no event is Lender released from the obligations set forth in Section 9.33(a) .
For the avoidance of doubt, once Lender has advanced Future Advances up to the Maximum Future Advance Amount as provided in this Agreement, Lender shall have no obligation to fund, advance and/or disburse any additional money for the Property other than with respect to amounts in the Cash Management Account or other Reserve Accounts in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall limit Borrower’s right to use additional Borrower equity to fund Capital Expenditures, Tenant Improvement costs, Tenant Allowances and/or Leasing Commissions for the Property in excess of the amount set forth in Section 1.5(a) hereof. Additionally, Borrower agrees that the obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents shall not be reduced, discharged or released because of or by reason of any existing or future offset, claim or defense of Borrower, or any other party, against any Lender that either does not have any obligation to make Future Advances or has made the Future Advances in accordance with the terms of this Agreement by reason of another Lender’s failure to fund any Future Advance under the terms of this Agreement; provided, nothing contained herein shall prohibit Borrower from pursuing its rights and remedies against any Lender that fails to make any Future Advance if all of the conditions precedent to making such Future Advance have been satisfied by Borrower. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, each Lender’s obligation to fund its ratable share of any Future Advances in accordance with this Section 1.5 shall be several and not joint.
Section 1.6      Interest and Principal .
(a)      On each Payment Date, Borrower shall pay to Lender interest on the average Principal Indebtedness for the applicable Interest Accrual Period ending on the day

47



immediately prior to such Payment Date at a rate per annum equal to (i) at any time the Loan is a LIBOR Loan, the sum of LIBOR, determined as of the Interest Determination Date immediately preceding such Interest Accrual Period, plus the Spread and (ii) at any time the Loan is a Prime Rate Loan, the sum of the Prime Rate, determined as of the Interest Determination Date immediately preceding such Interest Accrual Period, plus the Prime Rate Spread (except that in each case, interest shall be payable on the Indebtedness, including due but unpaid interest, at the Default Rate with respect to any portion of such Interest Accrual Period falling during the continuance of an Event of Default) (the “ Interest Rate ”). As of the Closing Date, the Loan is a LIBOR Loan, and except as provided in Section 1.6(e) , the Loan shall at all times be a LIBOR Loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, on the Closing Date, Borrower shall pay interest from and including the Closing Date through the end of the first Interest Accrual Period in lieu of making such payment on the first Payment Date following the Closing Date (unless the Closing Date falls on a Payment Date, in which case, no interest will be collected on the Closing Date, and Borrower shall make the payment required pursuant to this Section commencing on the first Payment Date following the Closing Date).
(b)      No prepayments of the Loan shall be permitted except for (i) prepayments made pursuant to Section 2.1 and (ii) prepayments resulting from Casualty or Condemnation as described in Section 5.16 . The entire Principal Indebtedness, together with all interest thereon through the Maturity Date and all other amounts then due under the Loan Documents shall be due and payable by Borrower to Lender on the Maturity Date.
(c)      If all or any portion of the Principal Indebtedness is paid to Lender prior to the Spread Maintenance Date following acceleration of the Loan, Borrower shall pay to Lender an amount equal to the applicable Spread Maintenance Premium. Amounts received in respect of the Indebtedness during the continuance of an Event of Default shall be applied toward interest and other components of the Indebtedness (in such order as Lender shall determine) before any such amounts are applied toward payment of Spread Maintenance Premiums, with the result that Spread Maintenance Premiums shall accrue as the Principal Indebtedness is repaid but no amount received from Borrower shall constitute payment of a Spread Maintenance Premium until the remainder of the Indebtedness shall have been paid in full. Borrower acknowledges that (i) a prepayment prior to the Spread Maintenance Date will cause damage to Lender; (ii) the Spread Maintenance Premium is intended to compensate Lender for the loss of its investment and the expense incurred and time and effort associated with making the Loan, which will not be fully repaid if the Loan is prepaid; (iii) it will be extremely difficult and impractical to ascertain the extent of Lender’s damages caused by a prepayment after an acceleration or other prepayment prior to the Spread Maintenance Date; and (iv) the Spread Maintenance Premium represents Lender’s and Borrower’s reasonable estimate of Lender’s damages from the prepayment and is not a penalty. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, no Spread Maintenance Premium shall be payable by Borrower, so long as no Event of Default exists at the time of such prepayment and such prepayment is: (x) by reason of a Casualty or Condemnation as set forth in Section 5.16(f) , (y) following the date on which Borrower has satisfied all of the Future Advance conditions set forth in Section 1.5 with respect to one or more Future Advances and Lender fails to fund such Future Advance(s) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or (z) made pursuant to the terms of Section 5.20(g) .

48



(d)      Any payments of interest and/or principal not paid when due hereunder shall bear interest at the applicable Default Rate and, in the case of all payments due hereunder other than the repayment of the Principal Indebtedness on the Maturity Date, when paid shall be accompanied by a late fee in an amount equal to the lesser of three percent (3.0%) of such unpaid sum and the maximum amount permitted by Legal Requirements, in order to defray a portion of the expense incurred by Lender in handling and processing such delinquent payment and to compensate Lender for the loss of the use of such delinquent payment.
(e)      In the event that Lender shall determine that by reason of circumstances affecting the interbank Eurodollar market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR in accordance with the definition thereof, then the Loan shall be converted to a Prime Rate Loan effective as of the commencement of the Interest Accrual Period following the date of such determination, and Lender shall give notice thereof to Borrower by telephone at least one day prior to the applicable Interest Determination Date (which notice shall thereafter be promptly confirmed by Lender in writing). If, pursuant to this Section 1.6(e) , any portion of the Loan has been converted to a Prime Rate Loan and Lender thereafter determines that the events or circumstances that resulted in such conversion are no longer applicable, the Loan shall be converted to a LIBOR Loan effective as of the commencement of the Interest Accrual Period following the date of such determination, and Lender shall give notice thereof to Borrower by telephone at least one (1) day prior to the applicable Interest Determination Date (which notice shall thereafter be promptly confirmed by Lender in writing). Borrower shall pay to Lender, promptly following written demand (which demand shall include reasonable detail and supporting documentation), any additional amounts necessary to compensate Lender for any reasonable out-of-pocket costs actually incurred by Lender in making any conversion in accordance with this Section 1.6(e) , including interest or fees payable by Lender to Lender of funds obtained by it in order to maintain a LIBOR Loan hereunder. In the event the Note has been divided into multiple Notes or Note Components pursuant to Section 1.1(f) , upon any conversion of the Loan pursuant to this Section, the interest rates applicable to such Notes or Note Components shall be proportionately adjusted to reflect such conversion. Except as provided in this Section 1.6(e) , the Loan shall at all times be a LIBOR Loan. In no event shall Borrower have the right to convert a LIBOR Loan to a Prime Rate Loan.
Section 1.7      Method and Place of Payment . Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, all payments and prepayments under this Agreement and the Notes (including any deposit into the Cash Management Account pursuant to Section 3.2(c) ) shall be made to Lender not later than 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date when due and shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America by wire transfer in federal or other immediately available funds to the account specified from time to time by Lender. Any funds received by Lender after such time shall be deemed to have been paid on the next succeeding Business Day. Lender shall notify Borrower in writing of any changes in the account to which payments are to be made. If the amount received from Borrower (or from the Cash Management Account pursuant to Section 3.2(b) ) is less than the sum of all amounts then due and payable hereunder, such amount shall be applied, at Lender’s sole discretion, either toward the components of the Indebtedness ( e.g. , interest, principal and other amounts payable hereunder) and the Notes and Note Components, in such sequence as Lender shall elect in its sole discretion, or toward the payment of Property expenses.

49



Section 1.8      Taxes; Regulatory Change .
(a)      Except as otherwise required by applicable law, all payments made by Borrower hereunder shall be made free and clear of, and without reduction for or on account of Taxes imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payments by Borrower, then Borrower shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, the amounts so payable to Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to Lender (after payment of all Indemnified Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rate or in the amounts specified hereunder. Whenever any Indemnified Tax is paid pursuant to applicable law by Borrower, as promptly as possible thereafter, Borrower shall send to Lender an original official receipt, if available, or certified copy thereof showing payment of such Indemnified Tax. Borrower shall indemnify Lender, for the full amount of any Indemnified Tax (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 1.8(a) ) payable or paid by Lender or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to Lender and the reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Borrower by Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(b)      (i)    If Lender is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of an Indemnified Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document, Lender shall deliver to Borrower at the time or times reasonably requested by Borrower such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by Borrower as will permit such payments to be made without payment of such Indemnified Taxes or at a reduced rate of payment of such Indemnified Taxes. In addition, Lender, if reasonably requested by Borrower shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by Borrower as will enable Borrower to determine whether or not Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Sections 1.8(b)(ii)(A) , (ii)(B) . and (ii)(D) . below) shall not be required if in Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of Lender.
(ii)      Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
(A)      if Lender is a U.S. Person, Lender shall deliver to Borrower on or prior to the date on which Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower), executed copies of Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;
(B)      if Lender is not a U.S. Person, Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrower (in such number of copies as shall

50



be requested by Borrower) on or prior to the date on which Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower), whichever of the following is applicable:
(1)      in the case Lender is claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States of America is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed copies of Form W-8BEN or other applicable successor form establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Taxes pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, Form W-8BEN or other applicable successor form establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Taxes pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;
(2)      executed copies of Form W-8ECI;
(3)      in the case Lender is claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “ U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate ”) and (y) executed copies of Form W-8BEN or other applicable successor form; or
(4)      to the extent Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of Form W-8IMY, accompanied by Form W-8ECI, Form W-8BEN or other applicable successor form, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate, Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;
(C)      if Lender is not a U.S. Person it shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrower (in such number of copies as shall be requested by Borrower) on or prior to the date on which Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit Borrower to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and
(D)      if a payment made to Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if Lender

51



were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), Lender shall deliver to Borrower at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Borrower such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by Borrower as may be necessary for Borrower to comply with its obligations under FATCA and to determine that Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause d., “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
(iii)      Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify Borrower in writing of its legal inability to do so.
(c)      If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund (including, for purposes of this Section 1.8(c) , a credit that a party applies against other Taxes) of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to Section 1.8(a) (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to Section 1.8(a ) ) , it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under Section 1.8(a) with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 1.8(c) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 1.8(c) , in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 1.8(c) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This Section 1.8(c) shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.
(d)      If Lender requires Borrower to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of Lender pursuant to Section 1.8(a) , then Lender shall (at the request of Borrower) use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of Lender, such designation or assignment (a) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 1.8(a) , in the future, and (b) would not subject Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to Lender. Borrower hereby agrees to pay

52



all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.
(e)      If any Legal Requirement or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof, shall hereafter make it unlawful for Lender to make or maintain a LIBOR Loan as contemplated hereunder (A) the obligation of Lender hereunder to make a LIBOR Loan or to convert a Prime Rate Loan to a LIBOR Loan shall be canceled forthwith and (B) any outstanding LIBOR Loan shall be converted automatically to a Prime Rate Loan on the last day of the then current Interest Accrual Period or within such earlier period as required by law. Borrower hereby agrees to pay to Lender, within ten (10) Business Days following Borrower’s receipt of written demand therefor, any additional amounts necessary to compensate Lender for the reasonable costs incurred by Lender in making any conversion in accordance with this Agreement, including, without limitation, any interest or fees payable by Lender to Lender of funds obtained by it in order to make or maintain the LIBOR Loan hereunder. Lender’s notice of such costs, as certified to Borrower, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (ii) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case be deemed to be a change in law, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued.
(f)      In the event that any change in any Legal Requirement or in the interpretation or application thereof, or compliance by Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) hereafter issued from any central bank or other Governmental Authority:
(i)      shall hereafter impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, capital adequacy, 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 Lender which is not otherwise included in the determination of LIBOR hereunder;
(ii)      shall hereafter have the effect of reducing the rate of return on Lender’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which Lender could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration Lender’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by any amount deemed by Lender to be material;
(iii)      subject Lender to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or
(iv)      shall hereafter impose on Lender any other condition and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Lender of making, renewing or

53



maintaining loans or extensions of credit or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder (other than due to Taxes);
then, in any such case, Borrower shall promptly pay Lender, upon demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate Lender for such additional cost or reduced amount receivable as determined by Lender (collectively, “ Increased Costs ”). If Lender becomes entitled to claim any Increased Costs pursuant to this subsection, Lender shall provide Borrower with not less than thirty (30) days’ notice specifying in reasonable detail the event by reason of which it has become so entitled and the additional amount required to fully compensate Lender for such Increased Costs. A certificate as to any Increased Costs payable pursuant to the foregoing sentence submitted by Lender to Borrower shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Borrower shall not be required to compensate Lender pursuant to this Section 1.8(f) for any Increased Costs actually paid by Lender more than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the date that Lender notifies Borrower of the change in law giving rise to such Increased Costs and of Lender’s intention to claim compensation or reimbursement therefor; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit Lender from delivering such certificate to Borrower prior to Lender’s actual payment of such Increased Costs. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 1.8(f) to the contrary, Lender shall not be permitted to make a claim against Borrower under this Section 1.8(f) unless Lender is making similar claims against other borrowers of Lender to the extent such borrowers are similarly situated as Borrower after consideration of such factors as Lender then reasonably determines to be relevant. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Increased Costs shall be payable to Lender to the extent such Lender’s Note has been included in a Secondary Market Transaction. This provision shall survive payment of the Note and the satisfaction of all other obligations of Borrower under this Agreement and the Loan Documents.
(g)      Borrower agrees to indemnify Lender and to hold Lender harmless from any loss or expense which Lender sustains or incurs as a consequence of (A) 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 Lender to Lender of funds obtained by it in order to maintain a LIBOR Loan hereunder, (B) any prepayment (whether voluntary or mandatory) of the LIBOR Loan on a day that is not a Payment Date, including, without limitation, such loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by Lender to Lender of funds obtained by it in order to maintain the LIBOR Loan hereunder and (C) the conversion (for any reason whatsoever, whether voluntary or involuntary) of the Interest Rate from the LIBOR Rate to the Prime Rate plus the Prime Rate Spread with respect to any portion of the outstanding principal amount of the Loan then bearing interest at the LIBOR Rate on a date other than the last day of an Interest Accrual Period, including, without limitation, such loss or expenses arising from interest or fees payable by Lender to Lender of funds obtained by it in order to maintain a LIBOR Loan hereunder (the amounts referred to in clauses (A), (B) and (C) are herein referred to collectively as the “ Breakage Costs ”); provided , however , Borrower shall not indemnify Lender from any loss or expense arising from Lender’s willful misconduct or gross negligence. This provision 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.

54



(h)      Each party’s obligations under this Section 1.8 shall survive any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Agreement.
Section 1.9      Interest Rate Cap Agreements .
(a)      On or prior to the Closing Date, Borrower shall obtain, and thereafter maintain in effect, an Interest Rate Cap Agreement, which shall be coterminous with the initial term of the Loan and have a notional amount equal to the Maximum Loan Amount. Any initial Interest Rate Cap Agreement shall have a strike rate equal to or less than the applicable Strike Rate.
(b)      If Borrower exercises any of its options to extend the term of the Loan pursuant to Section 1.2 , on or prior to the commencement of the applicable Extension Term, Borrower shall obtain, and thereafter maintain in effect, an Interest Rate Cap Agreement having (x) a term coterminous with such Extension Term, (y) a notional amount at least equal to the Principal Indebtedness plus any unfunded Future Advances, in each case, as of the first day of such Extension Term, and (z) a strike rate equal to or less than the applicable Strike Rate.
(c)      Borrower shall collaterally assign to Lender pursuant to an Assignment of Interest Rate Cap Agreement all of its right, title and interest in any and all payments under each Interest Rate Cap Agreement and shall deliver to Lender an executed counterpart of such Interest Rate Cap Agreement and obtain the consent of the Acceptable Counterparty to such collateral assignment (as evidenced by the Acceptable Counterparty’s execution of such Assignment of Interest Rate Cap Agreement).
(d)      Borrower shall comply with all of its obligations under the terms and provisions of each Interest Rate Cap Agreement. All amounts paid under an Interest Rate Cap Agreement shall be deposited directly into the Cash Management Account. Borrower shall take all actions reasonably requested by Lender to enforce Lender’s rights under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement in the event of a default by the counterparty thereunder and shall not waive, amend or otherwise modify any of its rights thereunder.
(e)      If, at any time during the term of the Loan, the counterparty to the Interest Rate Cap Agreement then in effect is downgraded below (i) “A-” by S&P and/or (ii) “A3” by Moody’s, then Borrower shall promptly obtain a replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement satisfying the requirements set forth in this Section 1.9 , as applicable, with a counterparty that is an Acceptable Counterparty.
(f)      On the Closing Date, and at any time that Borrower obtains a replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement pursuant to this Section 1.9 , Borrower shall deliver to Lender a legal opinion or opinions from counsel to the applicable Acceptable Counterparty (which counsel may be internal counsel) in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender (provided, that any opinion or opinions delivered in connection with any replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement shall be deemed satisfactory if in substantially the same form as the opinion or opinions delivered to Lender on the Closing Date).

55



Section 1.10      Release . Upon payment of the Indebtedness in full when permitted or required hereunder, Lender shall execute instruments prepared by Borrower and reasonably satisfactory to Lender, which, at Borrower’s election and at Borrower’s sole cost and expense: (a) release and discharge all Liens on all or a portion of the Collateral securing payment of the Indebtedness (subject to Borrower’s obligation to pay any associated fees and expenses), including all balances in the Collateral Accounts; or (b) assign such Liens (and the Loan Documents) to a new lender designated by Borrower. Any release or assignment provided by Lender pursuant to this Section 1.10 shall be without recourse, representation or warranty of any kind.
ARTICLE II
PREPAYMENT
Section 2.1      Voluntary Prepayment .
(a)      Borrower shall have the right, at its option, upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Lender, to prepay the Loan in whole or in part at any time, provided that if such prepayment is made prior to the Spread Maintenance Date, Borrower shall pay to Lender simultaneously with such prepayment the applicable Spread Maintenance Premium (except in the circumstances where such amount is not payable pursuant to either (i) the last sentence of Section 1.6(c) or (ii) Section 5.20(g) ). Each such prepayment shall be accompanied by the amount of interest theretofore accrued but unpaid in respect of the principal amount so prepaid, plus, if any such prepayment is not made on a Payment Date, the Breakage Costs. Following any such prepayment, Borrower may release or transfer, free and clear of the Lien of the Loan Documents, a portion of the notional amount of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement equal to the amount of such prepayment. Borrower’s notice of prepayment shall create an obligation of Borrower to prepay the Loan as set forth therein, but may be rescinded with one (1) Business Day prior written notice to Lender (subject to payment of any reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses resulting from such rescission and may, on written notice to Lender, adjourn the proposed prepayment date set forth therein from time to time; provided , that Borrower may not adjourn the proposed payment date set forth in a notice of prepayment more than three (3) times).
(b)      If the Note has been bifurcated into multiple Note Components pursuant to Section 1.1(g) , so long as no Event of Default is then continuing, all prepayments of the Loan (other than a prepayment from Loss Proceeds) shall be applied to the Note Components pro rata. In connection with any prepayment of the Loan from Loss Proceeds, prepayment of the Loan shall be applied to the Note Components in ascending order of interest rate (i.e., first to the Note Component with the lowest Component Spread until its outstanding principal balance has been reduced to zero, then to the Note Component with the second lowest Component Spread until its outstanding principal balance has been reduced to zero, and so on). During the continuance of an Event of Default, any prepayment of the Loan shall be applied in such order as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion.

Except during the continuance of an Event of Default, such Loss Proceeds shall be applied by Lender as follows in the following order of priority: First, to all amounts (other than principal and interest) then due and payable under the Loan Documents, including any costs and expenses of Lender in connection with such prepayment); Second; accrued and unpaid interest at the Interest Rate; and Third, to principal.

If Borrower fails to remit such amount to the Cash Management Account on such Payment Date, the same shall constitute an Event of Default and, in addition to all other rights and remedies provided for under the Loan Documents, Lender may disburse and apply the amounts in the Collateral Accounts in accordance with Section 3.9(c) .

Such insurance shall have limits commensurate with the risk and reasonably acceptable to Lender. Borrower shall further cause any general contractor to obtain and maintain commercial general liability coverage, including, without limitation, products and completed operations to the extent available in the market expiring no earlier than the expiration of the applicable statute of repose after completion of services or substantial completion.

(viii)      earthquake insurance (A) with minimum coverage equivalent to 1.0x SUL (scenario upper loss) multiplied by the full replacement cost of the building plus business income, (B) having a deductible not in excess of 5% of the total insurable value of the Property, and (C) if the Property is legally nonconforming under applicable zoning ordinances and codes, containing ordinance of law coverage in amounts as required by Lender.  In the event such earthquake insurance is provided by an Acceptable Blanket Policy, such earthquake coverage shall be in amount not less than the annual aggregate gross loss estimates as indicated in a portfolio seismic risk analysis for the 90th centile 475-year return period for all high risk locations insured by such coverage (such analysis to be approved by Lender and secured by the applicable Borrower utilizing the most current SeismiCat software);
(ix)      terrorism insurance in an amount equal to the full replacement cost of the applicable Property as required in Section 5.15(a)(i) above plus business interruption coverage for the period required under Section 5.15(a)(iv) above (the “ Minimum Coverage Amount ”). Borrower shall be required to carry insurance throughout the term of the Loan in an amount not less than the Minimum Coverage Amount. However, if TRIPRA is discontinued or not renewed then Borrower shall be required to carry terrorism insurance in an amount not less than the Minimum Coverage Amount; provided, that, in such event, (x) Borrower shall not be required to spend per year on terrorism coverage (on a going forward basis after TRIPRA expires or is otherwise no longer in effect for any reason and following the expiration of the applicable terrorism insurance then in place) an amount in excess of two times (2x) the annual allocated amount of the total insurance premium that is payable in respect of the Property’s all-risk and business interruption/rental income insurance required under the Loan Documents (without giving effect to the cost of terrorism and earthquake components of such property and business interruption/rental income insurance) obtained as of the date the applicable new terrorism insurance is being obtained (the “ Terrorism Premium Cap ”) and, provided, that in no event shall any Insurance Premiums paid with respect to Policies in effect prior to the date TRIPRA expires or is otherwise no longer in effect for any reason be included for purposes of determining whether the amount of terrorism insurance premiums paid by Borrower for any applicable period exceed the Terrorism Premium Cap, and (y) if the cost of such terrorism coverage exceeds the Terrorism Premium Cap, Borrower shall purchase the maximum amount of terrorism coverage available with funds equal to the Terrorism Premium Cap; provided that, if the Insurance Premiums payable with respect to such terrorism coverage exceeds the

84



Terrorism Premium Cap, Lender may, at its option, purchase such stand-alone terrorism Policy, with Borrower paying such portion of the Insurance Premiums with respect thereto equal to the Terrorism Premium Cap and the Lender paying such portion of the Insurance Premiums in excess of the Terrorism Premium Cap. For so long as TRIPRA (A) remains in full force and effect and (B) continues to cover both foreign and domestic acts of terror, Lender shall accept terrorism insurance for Certified Acts of Terrorism (as such terms are defined in TRIPRA). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 5.15(a)(ix) , with respect to terrorism insurance required to be maintained by Borrower pursuant to this Section 5.15(a)(ix) , Liberty IC Casualty LLC (“Liberty”) shall be an acceptable insurer of perils of terrorism and acts of terrorism so long as (i) the policy issued by Liberty has (a) no aggregate limit and (b) a deductible of no greater than $1,000,000 plus that deductible as calculated pursuant to TRIPRA, (ii) other than the $1,000,000 deductible, the portion of such insurance which is not reinsured by TRIPRA, Borrower must provide reinsurance with a cut-through endorsement, in each case acceptable to Lender, from an insurance carrier meeting the rating requirements set forth in Section 5.15(b) , (iii) TRIPRA or a similar United States Federal Government backstop is in effect for an amount equal to the Applicable Federal Backstop Percentage (as defined below) of such terrorism coverage, as defined in TRIPRA. As used herein, the “ Applicable Federal Backstop Percentage ” shall mean the then applicable federal share of compensation for insured losses of an insurer under TRIPRA (which is currently 84% and subject to annual 1% decreases beginning in 2016 until such percentage equals 80%), (iv) Liberty is not the subject of a bankruptcy or similar insolvency proceeding and (v) no Governmental Authority issues any statement, finding or decree that insurers of perils of terrorism similar to Liberty (i.e., captive insurers arranged similar to Liberty) do not qualify for the payments or benefits of TRIPRA. In the event that Liberty is providing insurance coverage (A) to other properties immediately adjacent to the applicable Property, and/or (B) to other properties owned by a Person(s) who is not an Affiliate of Borrower, and such insurance is not subject to the same reinsurance and other requirements of this Section, then Lender may reasonably re-evaluate the limits and deductibles of the insurance required to be provided by Liberty hereunder. In the event any of the foregoing conditions are not satisfied, Liberty shall not be deemed an acceptable insurer of perils of terrorism and acts of terrorism;
(x)      auto liability coverage for all owned and non-owned vehicles, including rented and leased vehicles containing minimum limits per occurrence of $1,000,000 (if applicable); and
(xi)      such other insurance as may from time to time be reasonably requested by Lender.
(b)      All policies of insurance (the “ Policies ”) required pursuant to this Section shall be issued by one or more insurers having a rating of at least (1) “A” by S&P or (2) “A X” by AM Best (provided however, that if Borrower elects to have its insurance coverage provided by a syndicate of insurers, then, if such syndicate consists of five (5) or more members, (A) at least sixty percent (60%) of the insurance coverage (or seventy-five percent (75%) if such syndicate consists of four (4) or fewer members) and shall be provided by insurance companies having a claims paying ability rating of “A X” or better by AM Best and (B) the remaining forty

85



percent (40%) of the insurance coverage (or the remaining twenty-five percent (25%) if such syndicate consists of four (4) or fewer members) shall be provided by insurance companies having a claims paying ability rating of “A VIII” or better by AM Best) or (3) with such other ratings approved by Lender from time to time.
(c)      All Policies required pursuant to this Section:
(i)      shall contain deductibles that, in addition to complying with any other requirements expressly set forth in Section 5.15(a) , are approved by Lender (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, but subject to the requirements of each Rating Agency) and are no larger than is customary for similar policies covering similar properties in the geographic market in which the Property is located;
(ii)      shall be maintained throughout the term of the Loan without cost to Lender and shall name Borrower as the named insured;
(iii)      with respect to casualty and rental income or business interruption insurance policies, shall contain a standard noncontributory mortgagee clause including Lender and its successors and assigns as their interests may appear as first mortgagee and loss payee;
(iv)      with respect to liability policies, except for workers compensation, employers liability and auto liability, shall include Lender and its successors and assigns as their interests may appear as additional insureds;
(v)      with respect to casualty and rental income or business interruption insurance policies, shall either be written on a no coinsurance form or contain an endorsement providing that neither Borrower nor Lender nor any other party shall be a co insurer under such Policies;
(vi)      with respect to casualty and rental income or business interruption insurance policies, shall contain an endorsement or other provision providing that Lender shall receive at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of cancellation thereof (or, in the case of cancellation due to non-payment of premium, ten (10) days’ prior written notice);
(vii)      with respect to casualty and rental income or business interruption insurance policies, shall contain an endorsement providing that no act or negligence of Borrower or any foreclosure or other proceeding or notice of sale relating to the Property shall affect the validity or enforceability of the insurance insofar as a mortgagee is concerned;
(viii)      shall not contain provisions that would make Lender liable for any insurance premiums thereon or subject to any assessments thereunder;
(ix)      shall contain a waiver of subrogation against Lender, as applicable;

86



(x)      may be in the form of a blanket policy, provided that Borrower shall provide evidence satisfactory to Lender that the insurance premiums for the Property are separately allocated to the Property, and such blanket policy shall provide the same protection as would a separate Policy as reasonably determined by Lender, subject to review and approval by Lender based on a summary of locations and values, if requested by Lender; and
(xi)      shall otherwise be reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to Lender and shall contain such other provisions as Lender deems reasonably necessary or desirable to protect its interests.
(d)      Borrower shall pay the premiums for all Policies as the same become due and payable (the “ Insurance Premiums ”). Summaries of the policies shall be delivered to Lender promptly upon request. Prior to the expiration date of each Policy, Borrower shall deliver to Lender evidence, reasonably satisfactory to Lender, of its renewal. Borrower shall promptly forward to Lender a copy of each written notice received by Borrower of any modification, reduction or cancellation of any of the Policies or of any of the coverages afforded under any of the Policies. Within thirty (30) days after request by Lender, Borrower shall obtain such increases in the amounts of coverage required hereunder as may be reasonably requested by Lender, taking into consideration changes in the value of money over time, changes in liability laws, changes in prudent customs and practices, and the like.
(e)      Borrower shall not procure any other insurance coverage that would be on the same level of payment as the Policies or would adversely impact in any way the ability of Lender or Borrower to collect any proceeds under any of the Policies. If at any time Lender is not in receipt of written evidence that all Policies are in full force and effect when and as required hereunder, Lender shall have the right to take such action as Lender deems necessary to protect its interest in the Property, including the obtaining of such insurance coverage as Lender in its sole discretion deems appropriate (but limited to the coverages and amounts required hereunder). All premiums, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by Lender in connection with such action or in obtaining such insurance and keeping it in effect shall be paid by Borrower to Lender upon demand and, until paid, and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.
(f)      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 Indebtedness, all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to the Policies then in force with respect to the Property and all proceeds payable thereunder shall thereupon vest in the purchaser at such foreclosure or in Lender or other transferee in the event of such other transfer of title.
(g)      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 5.15 (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 the coverage set forth in Section

87



5.15(a)(ix) for the Property as well as each location within the Radius that is covered by such blanket policy calculated on a total insured value basis.
Section 5.16      Casualty and Condemnation .
(a)      Borrower shall give prompt notice to Lender of any Casualty or Condemnation or of the actual or threatened in writing commencement of proceedings that would result in a Condemnation, in all cases, to the extent that the cost to repair any damage caused by such Casualty or the estimated value of such Property or portion thereof subject to such Condemnation is reasonably expected by Borrower to exceed $100,000.00.
(b)      Lender may participate, to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, in any proceedings for any taking of all or any portion of the Property by any public or quasi-public authority accomplished through a Condemnation or any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of a Condemnation, with a value reasonably estimated by Borrower to be in excess of the Threshold Amount and to the extent permitted by law. Upon Lender’s written request, Borrower shall deliver to Lender all instruments reasonably requested by it to permit such participation. Borrower shall, at its sole cost and expense, diligently prosecute any such proceedings, and shall consult with Lender, its attorneys and experts, and reasonably cooperate with them in the carrying on or defense of any such proceedings. Borrower shall not consent or agree to a Condemnation or action in lieu thereof without the prior written consent of Lender in each instance, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned in the case of a taking of an immaterial portion of the Property.
(c)      Lender may (x) jointly with Borrower settle and adjust any claims, (y) during the continuance of an Event of Default, settle and adjust any claims without the consent or cooperation of Borrower, or (z) allow Borrower to settle and adjust any claims; except that if no Event of Default is continuing, Borrower may settle and adjust claims aggregating in an amount equal to or less than the Threshold Amount if such settlement or adjustment is carried out in a competent and timely manner, but Lender shall be entitled to collect and receive (as set forth below) any and all Loss Proceeds. The reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Lender in the adjustment and collection of Loss Proceeds shall become part of the Indebtedness and shall be reimbursed by Borrower to Lender within ten (10) Business Days after written demand therefor.
(d)      To the extent that the Loss Proceeds from any Casualty or Condemnation exceed the Condemnation/Casualty Threshold Amount, all such Loss Proceeds shall be promptly deposited into the Loss Proceeds Account (monthly rental loss/business interruption proceeds to be initially deposited into the Loss Proceeds Account and subsequently deposited into the Cash Management Account in installments as and when the lost rental income covered by such proceeds would have been payable). Following the occurrence of a Casualty, Borrower, regardless of whether proceeds are available, shall in a reasonably prompt manner proceed to restore, repair, replace or rebuild the Property to be of at least equal value and of substantially the same character as prior to the Casualty, all in accordance with the terms hereof applicable to Alterations. If any Condemnation or Casualty occurs as to which, in the reasonable judgment of Lender:

88



(i)      in the case of a Casualty, the cost of restoration would not exceed 30% of the Maximum Loan Amount and the Casualty does not render untenantable, or result in the cancellation of Leases covering, more than 30% of the gross rentable area of the Property, or result in cancellation of Leases covering more than 30% of the base contractual rental revenue of the Property;
(ii)      in the case of a Condemnation, the Condemnation does not render untenantable, or result in the cancellation of Leases covering, more than 15% of the gross rentable area of the 355 Property or, in the case of the 235 Garage, render unusable more than 20% of the parking spaces currently provided therein;
(iii)      restoration of the Property is reasonably expected to be completed prior to the expiration of rental interruption insurance and at least six months prior to the Maturity Date;
(iv)      following restoration of the Property, the Debt Service Coverage Ratio, taking into account any business interruption insurance received by Borrower as rent, shall equal the lesser of (A) the Debt Service Coverage Ratio immediately prior to such Casualty or Condemnation, and (B) 1.05:1.00;
(v)      all necessary approvals and consents from Governmental Authorities will be obtained to allow the rebuilding and re-occupancy of the Property;
or if Lender otherwise elects to allow Borrower to restore the Property, then, provided no Event of Default is continuing, the Loss Proceeds after receipt thereof by Lender and reimbursement of any reasonable expenses incurred by Lender in connection therewith shall be applied to the cost of restoring, repairing, replacing or rebuilding the Property or part thereof subject to the Casualty or Condemnation, in the manner set forth below (and Borrower shall commence, as promptly and diligently as practicable, to prosecute such restoring, repairing, replacing or rebuilding of the Property in a workmanlike fashion and in accordance with Legal Requirements to a status at least equivalent to the quality and character of the Property immediately prior to the Condemnation or Casualty). Provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be then continuing, Lender shall disburse such Loss Proceeds to Borrower upon Lender’s being furnished with (i) evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the estimated cost of completion of the restoration, (ii) funds, or assurances reasonably satisfactory to Lender that such funds are available and sufficient in addition to any remaining Loss Proceeds, to complete the proposed restoration (including for any reasonable costs and expenses of Lender to be incurred in administering such restoration) and for payment of the Indebtedness as it becomes due and payable during the restoration, and (iii) such architect’s certificates, waivers of lien, contractor’s sworn statements, title insurance endorsements, bonds, plats of survey and such other evidences of cost, payment and performance as Lender may reasonably request; and Lender may, in any event, require that all plans and specifications for restoration reasonably estimated by Lender to exceed the Condemnation/Casualty Threshold Amount be submitted to and approved by Lender prior to commencement of work (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned). If Lender reasonably estimates that the cost to restore will exceed the Condemnation/Casualty Threshold Amount, Lender may retain a local construction consultant to inspect such work and review Borrower’s request for payments and Borrower shall, promptly

89



following written demand by Lender, reimburse Lender for the reasonable out-of-pocket fees and expenses of such consultant (which fees and expenses shall constitute Indebtedness). No payment shall exceed 90% of the value of the work performed from time to time until such time as 50% of the restoration (calculated based on the anticipated aggregate cost of the work) has been completed, and amounts retained prior to completion of 50% of the restoration shall not be paid prior to the final completion of the restoration (provided there shall be no retainage for the cost of materials (as opposed to labor)). Funds other than Loss Proceeds shall be disbursed prior to disbursement of such Loss Proceeds, and at all times the undisbursed balance of such proceeds remaining in the Loss Proceeds Account, together with any additional funds irrevocably and unconditionally deposited therein or irrevocably and unconditionally committed for that purpose, shall be at least sufficient in the reasonable judgment of Lender to pay for the cost of completion of the restoration free and clear of all Liens or claims for Lien.
(e)      Borrower shall reasonably cooperate with Lender in obtaining for Lender the benefits of any Loss Proceeds lawfully or equitably payable to Lender in connection with the Property.

90



amount, provided that Borrower delivers to Lender an opinion of counsel, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender and delivered by counsel reasonably satisfactory to Lender, opining that such release of Property from the Lien does not cause any portion of the Loan to cease to be a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of section 860G(a)(3) of the Code.

Borrower shall not amend any Approved Annual Budget more than once in any 60-day period. For so long as Lender shall have not yet approved any Annual Budget or any revisions thereto, the Annual Budget in effect prior to any such request for approval shall remain in effect (including any Annual Budget delivered for information purposes hereunder), except that such Annual Budget shall be deemed to include (a) such increases as are necessary for Property Taxes, insurance premiums, utility expenses, union wage and benefit costs (if any) and other non-discretionary items, and a ten percent (10%) increase for all other items, and (b) (i) all ongoing capital work from prior years, (ii) scheduled capital work for the then-current year and (iii) all costs and expenses related to any Leases then in effect.

(e)      Borrower shall deliver to each other party to any Permitted Encumbrance, any Property Agreement and any Material Agreement notice of the identity of Lender and each assignee of Lender of which Borrower is aware if such notice is required in order to protect Lender’s interest thereunder.

Section 9.8      Severability . Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under Legal Requirements, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under Legal Requirements, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

Lender shall have no obligation to marshal any assets in favor of Borrower or any other party or against or in payment of any or all of the obligations of Borrower pursuant to the Loan Documents.

112



and Borrower’s sole remedy shall be limited to commencing an action seeking specific performance, injunctive relief and/or declaratory judgment; provided , however, that the forgoing shall not prevent Borrower from obtaining a monetary judgment against Lender if it is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that Lender acted with gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against Lender and/or its affiliates, directors, employees, attorneys, agents or sub-agents, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (whether or not the claim therefor is based on contract, tort or duty imposed by any applicable Legal Requirement) arising out of, as a result of, or in any way related to, the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby or referred to herein or therein, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, the Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof or any act or omission or event occurring in connection therewith, and Borrower hereby waives, releases and agrees not to sue upon any such claim for any such damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor.

(a)      Whenever pursuant to this Agreement Lender exercises any right given to it to approve or disapprove any matter, or any arrangement or term is to be satisfactory to Lender, the decision of Lender to approve or disapprove such matter or to decide whether arrangements or terms are satisfactory or not satisfactory shall (except as is otherwise specifically herein provided) be in the sole discretion of Lender and shall be final and conclusive. Prior to a securitization of the Loan, whenever pursuant to this Agreement the Rating Agencies are given any right to approve or disapprove any matter, or any arrangement or term is to be satisfactory to the Rating Agencies, the decision of Lender to approve or disapprove such matter or to decide whether arrangements or terms are satisfactory or not satisfactory, based upon Lender’s determination of Rating Agency criteria, shall be substituted therefor.
(b)      Whenever, pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, a Rating Agency Confirmation is required from each applicable Rating Agency, in the event that any applicable Rating Agency “declines review”, “waives review” or otherwise indicates in writing or otherwise to Lender’s or Servicer’s satisfaction that no Rating Agency Confirmation will or needs to be issued with respect to the matter in question (each, a “ Review Waiver ”), then

124



the Rating Agency Confirmation requirement shall be deemed to be satisfied with respect to such matter. It is expressly agreed and understood, however, that receipt of a Review Waiver (i) from any one Rating Agency shall not be binding or apply with respect to any other Rating Agency and (ii) with respect to one matter shall not apply or be deemed to apply to any subsequent matter for which Rating Agency Confirmation is required. Prior to a securitization of the Loan or in the event that there is a Review Waiver, if Lender does not have a separate and independent approval right with respect to the matter in question, then the term Rating Agency Confirmation shall be deemed instead to require the prior written consent of Lender.
Section 9.31      Co-Lender Agreement . Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that if Lender assigns any portion of its interest in the Loan pursuant to Section 9.7 , Lender and any such assignees may enter into one or more co-lender agreements (each, a “ Co-Lender Agreement ”) pursuant to which, among other things, Lender shall agree upon rights of Lender and such assignees as among themselves and the manner in which Lender shall administer the Loan. Any Co-Lender Agreement will be solely for the benefit of Lender and the applicable assignees, and no Borrower Party nor any other Person shall be a third party beneficiary of any of the provisions therein, or have any rights thereunder or be entitled to rely on any of the provisions contained therein. Neither Lender nor any assignee shall have any obligation to disclose to Borrower Parties or any of their respective Affiliates the contents of any Co-Lender Agreement. Each Borrower Party’s obligations under the Loan Documents are and will be independent of any Co-Lender Agreement and shall remain unmodified by the provisions thereof (although Borrower acknowledges that with respect to certain approvals, calculations and other decisions hereunder, any Co-Lender Agreement may require Lender to consult with or receive the approval of one or more Persons who are a party to such Co-Lender Agreement prior to providing its own approval or determination regarding the same, it being agreed, however, that any such additional approval of a co-Lender shall not modify the standard of approval that Lender is bound to pursuant to the terms of this Agreement).

Borrower also agrees to reimburse the Lender Group for any third party legal or other expenses actually and reasonably incurred by the Lender Group in connection with investigating or defending the Liabilities. Borrower’s liability under this paragraph will be limited to Liability that arises out of, or is based upon, an untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon, and in conformity with, information furnished to Lender by or on behalf of Borrower in connection with the underwriting or closing of the Loan, including financial statements of Borrower, operating statements and rent rolls with respect to the Property, which information was prepared by or on behalf of Borrower. This indemnification provision will be in addition to any liability which Borrower may otherwise have. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that any Person that is included in the Lender Group that is not a direct party to this Agreement shall be deemed to be a third-party beneficiary to this Agreement with respect to this Section 9.34(b) . Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall not be responsible for any Liabilities to the extent arising out of untrue statements provided to Disclosure Recipients to the extent that Borrower notifies Lender in writing (which notice may be by electronic mail) that Borrower disagrees with such statement prior to Lender providing the same to such Disclosure Recipients; provided , that Borrower is provided such information at least five (5) Business Days prior to such information being provided to Disclosure Recipients. Within five (5) Business Days after Lender’s written request, Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender a separate indemnification and reimbursement agreement in favor of the Lender Group in form and substance consistent with the indemnification and reimbursement obligations of Borrower under this Section 9.34(b) , but subject to the terms of the prior sentence.
(c)      Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 9.34 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 9.34 , notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof, but the omission to so notify the indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability which the indemnifying party may have to any indemnified party hereunder except to the extent that failure to notify causes prejudice to the indemnifying party. In the event that any action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled, jointly with any other indemnifying party, to participate therein and, to the extent that it (or they) may elect by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party. After notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence of this Section 9.34(c) , such indemnifying party shall not pay for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, if the defendants in any such

129



action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there are any legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to assert such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party at the cost of the indemnifying party. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel unless an indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those available to any other indemnified party. Without the prior written consent of Lender (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), no indemnifying party shall settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder (whether or not any indemnified party is an actual or potential party to such claim, action, suit or proceeding) unless the indemnifying party shall have given Lender reasonable prior written notice thereof and shall have obtained an unconditional release of each indemnified party hereunder from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceedings, and such settlement requires no statement as to, or an admission of, fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of the indemnified party.
(d)      In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnity agreement provided for in Sections 9.34(b) or (c) is for any reason held to be unenforceable as to an indemnified party in respect of any Liabilities (or action in respect thereof) referred to therein which would otherwise be indemnifiable under Sections 9.34(b) or (c), the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such Liabilities (or action in respect thereof); provided, however, that no Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. In determining the amount of contribution to which the respective parties are entitled, the following factors shall be considered: (i) Borrower’s relative knowledge and access to information concerning the matter with respect to which the claim was asserted; (ii) the opportunity to correct and prevent any statement or omission; and (iii) any other equitable considerations appropriate in the circumstances. Lender and Borrower hereby agree that it would not be equitable if the amount of such contribution were determined by pro rata or per capita allocation.
(e)      The liabilities and obligations of both Borrower, Lender under this Section 9.34 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the satisfaction and discharge of the Indebtedness.
Section 9.35      Register .
(a)      Lender, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in the United States a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of Lenders, and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loan (or portions thereof) owing to each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time and each repayment with respect to the principal amount (and stated interest) 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 or any Lender’s obligations in respect of the Loan. Without limiting the terms

130



and provisions of Section 9.33 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 Lender maintaining the Register with written notice of such transfer and such assignee’s name and address. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and Borrower and 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. Lender hereby agrees to indemnify Lender and to hold Lender harmless from any actions, suits, claims, demands, liabilities, losses, damages, obligations and actual costs and expenses which Lender sustains or incurs as a consequence of Lender maintaining the Registry, except to the extent such loss or expense is caused by Lender’s fraud or willful misconduct.
(b)      Borrower agrees that each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 1.8 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 1.8(b) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 1.8(b) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 9.33 ; provided that such participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 1.8 , with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Regulatory Change that occurs after the participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation interest in the Loan shall, acting solely for this purpose as an 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 Loan (or portion thereof) 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 Treasury Regulation 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, Lender shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
(c)      This Section 9.35 , 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 Treasury Regulation Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations (or any other successor provision of such regulations).
Section 9.36      Severance . Lender, without in any way limiting 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), to require to execute and deliver “component” notes and/or one or more substitute notes evidencing the portion of the Loan held by a 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

131



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, revise the interest rate for each component, reallocate the principal balances of the Note and/or the components, increase or decrease the monthly debt service payments for each component or 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), and/or divide the Loan into one or more pari passu or mezzanine and mortgage component(s); provided that, in each case, the Principal Indebtedness of all components at all times after the effective date of such modification equals the Principal Indebtedness immediately prior to such modification and the weighted average of the interest rates for all components at all times after the effective date of such modification equals the interest rate of the original Note immediately prior to such modification (provided, that, the weighted average interest rate may change only if there is a repayment of principal during the continuance of any Event of Default and/or the application of Net Proceeds as a result of a Casualty or Condemnation). At Lender’s election, each note comprising the Loan may be subject separately to one or more Secondary Market Transaction. Lender shall have the right to modify the Note and/or Notes and any components in accordance with this Section 9.36 and, provided that such modification shall comply with the terms of this Section 9.36 , such modification shall become immediately effective. If requested by Lender, Borrower shall promptly execute an amendment to the Loan Documents to evidence any such modification. Borrower shall (1) cooperate with all reasonable requests of Lender in order to establish the “component” notes or mezzanine loan documents, and (2) execute and deliver such documents as shall be required by Lender in connection therewith, all in form and substance satisfactory to 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 if 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 Note (provided, that, the weighted average interest rate may change only if there is a repayment of principal during the continuance of any Event of Default and/or the application of Net Proceeds as a result of a Casualty or Condemnation), (ii) alter the rights or increase the obligations of Borrower or Guarantor under the Loan Documents (other than to a de minimis extent and excluding obligations that are customary to the creation of a mezzanine structure or admission of new Lenders or participants), or (iii) subject to Section 9.36, modify or amend any other economic or other material term of the Loan (other than to a de minimis extent).
Section 9.37      Cooperation; Execution; Delivery . In the event Borrower fails to execute and deliver such documents to Lender within ten (10) Business Days following such request by Lender, Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints Lender as its true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in its name and stead to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect such transactions, Borrower hereby ratifying all that such attorney shall do by virtue thereof. It shall be an Event of Default under this Agreement, the Note, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents if Borrower fails to comply with any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Section 9.37 after expiration of ten (10) Business Days after notice thereof.

132



Section 9.38      Costs and Expenses . In connection with any Secondary Market Transaction, Borrower shall be responsible for its own legal fees incurred in connection with such Secondary Market Transaction and Lender shall be responsible for all other costs and expenses incurred in connection with such Secondary Market Transaction.
Section 9.39      Agent . Lender may delegate any and all rights and obligations of Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents to an administrative and collateral agent for the ratable benefit of Lender and its successors and/or assigns as holders of the Notes (“ Agent ”) upon written notice by Lender to Borrower, whereupon any notice or consent from Agent to Borrower, and any action by Agent on Lender’s behalf, shall have the same force and effect as if Agent was Lender. Lender hereby advises Borrower that, as of the date hereof, Strategic Asset Services LLC (“ SAS ”) is designated by Lender as the initial Agent. Until Lender notifies Borrower in writing that SAS has been terminated as Agent or if SAS resigns as Agent, SAS (as the initial Agent) shall serve as the primary point of contact for Borrower with respect to the Loan and shall process all of Borrower’s requests for approval hereunder (including, without limitation, approval of each Notice of Borrowing and approval of any Major Lease). Borrower shall have the right to rely on instructions and other communications received from Agent to the same extent as if such instructions or other communications were received directly from Lender.
Section 9.40      Schedules and Exhibits Incorporated . The Schedules and Exhibits annexed hereto are hereby incorporated herein as a part of this Agreement with the same effect as if set forth in the body hereof.

This SUBORDINATION, NON-DISTURBANCE, AND ATTORNMENT AGREEMENT (the “ Agreemen t”) is dated as of _____________ ____, 2016, and is by and among MAGUIRE PROPERTIES - 355 S. GRAND, LLC , a Delaware limited liability company, having an office at 250 Vesey Street, 15th Floor, New York, New York (“ Landlord ”), [__________________________, a ____________________________, having an office at ________________________] (“ Tenant ”), and [H/2 FINANCIAL FUNDING I LLC, a Delaware limited liability company], having an address at 680 Washington Boulevard, Seventh Floor, Stamford, Connecticut 06901, as an agent and a lender (together with its successors and/or assigns, “ Lender ”)
WHEREAS, Lender has made or intends to make a loan to Landlord (the “ Loan ”), which Loan shall be evidenced by one or more promissory notes (as the same may be amended, modified, restated, severed, consolidated, renewed, replaced, or supplemented from time to time, the “ Promissory Note ”) and secured by, among other things, that certain _____________________________________ (as the same may be amended, restated, replaced, severed, split, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “ Mortgage ”) recorded in the Official Records of Los Angeles County on _______________ _____, 2016, as Document No. _______________, encumbering the real property located at 355 S.

WHEREAS, by a lease agreement (the “ Lease ”) dated [___________, _____], between Landlord (or Landlord's predecessor in title) and Tenant, Landlord leased to Tenant a portion of the Property, as said portion is more particularly described in the Lease (such portion of the Property hereinafter referred to as the “ Premises ”);
WHEREAS, Tenant acknowledges that Lender will rely on this Agreement in making the Loan to Landlord; and

Exhibit II
1


WHEREAS, Lender and Tenant desire to evidence their understanding with respect to the Mortgage and the Lease as hereinafter provided.
NOW , THEREFORE , in consideration of the mutual agreements hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
1.      Tenant covenants, stipulates and agrees that the Lease and all of Tenant's right, title and interest in and to the Property thereunder (including but not limited to any option to purchase, right of first refusal to purchase or right of first offer to purchase the Property or any portion thereof) is hereby, and shall at all times continue to be, subordinated and made secondary and inferior in each and every respect to the Mortgage and the lien thereof, to all of the terms, conditions and provisions thereof and to any and all advances made or to be made thereunder, so that at all times the Mortgage shall be and remain a lien on the Property prior to and superior to the Lease for all purposes, subject to the provisions set forth herein. Subordination is to have the same force and effect as if the Mortgage and such renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions had been executed, acknowledged, delivered and recorded prior to the Lease, any amendments or modifications thereof and any notice thereof.
2.      Lender agrees that if Lender exercises any of its rights under the Mortgage, including entry or foreclosure of the Mortgage or exercise of a power of sale under the Mortgage, Lender will not disturb Tenant's right to use, occupy and possess the Premises under the terms of the Lease so long as Tenant is not in default beyond any applicable grace period under any term, covenant or condition of the Lease.
3.      If, at any time Lender (or any person, or such person's successors or assigns, who acquires the interest of Landlord under the Lease through foreclosure of the Mortgage or otherwise) shall succeed to the rights of Landlord under the Lease as a result of a default or event of default under the Mortgage, Tenant shall attorn to and recognize such person so succeeding to the rights of Landlord under the Lease (herein sometimes called “ Successor Landlord ”) as Tenant's landlord under the Lease, said attornment to be effective and self-operative without the execution of any further instruments. Although said attornment shall be self-operative, Tenant agrees to execute and deliver to Lender or to any Successor Landlord, such other instrument or instruments as Lender or such other person shall from time to time request in order to confirm said attornment.
4.      Landlord authorizes and directs Tenant to honor any written demand or notice from Lender instructing Tenant to pay rent or other sums to Lender rather than Landlord (a “ Payment Demand ”), regardless of any other or contrary notice or instruction which Tenant may receive from Landlord before or after Tenant's receipt of such Payment Demand. Tenant may rely upon any notice, instruction, Payment Demand, certificate, consent or other document from, and signed by, Lender and shall have no duty to Landlord to investigate the same or the circumstances under which the same was given. Any payment made by Tenant to Lender or in response to a Payment Demand shall be deemed proper payment by Tenant of such sum pursuant to the Lease.
5.      If Lender shall become the owner of the Property or the Property shall be sold by reason of foreclosure or other proceedings brought to enforce the Mortgage or if the

Exhibit II
2


Property shall be transferred by deed in lieu of foreclosure, Lender, or any Successor Landlord shall not be:
(a)      liable for any act or omission of any prior landlord (including Landlord) or bound by any obligation to make any payment to Tenant which was required to be made prior to the time Lender succeeded to any prior landlord (including Landlord); or
(b)      obligated to cure any defaults of any prior landlord (including Landlord) which occurred, or to make any payment to Tenant which was required to be paid by any prior landlord (including Landlord), prior to the time that Lender, or any Successor Landlord succeeded to the interest of such landlord under the Lease; or
(c)      obligated to perform any construction obligations of any prior landlord (including Landlord) under the Lease or liable for any defects (latent, patent or otherwise) in the design, workmanship, materials, construction or otherwise with respect to improvements and buildings constructed on the Property; or
(d)      subject to any offsets, defenses or counterclaims which Tenant may be entitled to assert against any prior landlord (including Landlord); or
(e)      bound by any payment of rent or additional rent by Tenant to any prior landlord (including Landlord) for more than one month in advance; or
(f)      bound by any amendment, modification, termination or surrender of the Lease made without the written consent of Lender; or
(g)      liable or responsible for or with respect to the retention, application and/or return to Tenant of any security deposit paid to any prior landlord (including Landlord), whether or not still held by such prior landlord, unless and until Lender or any Successor Landlord has actually received said deposit for its own account as the landlord under the Lease as security for the performance of Tenant's obligation under the Lease (which deposit shall, nonetheless, be held subject to the provisions of the Lease).
6.      Tenant hereby represents, warrants, covenants and agrees to and with Lender:
(a)      to deliver to Lender, by certified mail, return receipt requested, a duplicate of each notice of default delivered by Tenant to Landlord at the same time as such notice is given to Landlord and no such notice of default shall be deemed given by Tenant under the Lease unless and until a copy of such notice shall have been so delivered to Lender. Lender shall have the right (but shall not be obligated) to cure such default. Tenant shall accept performance by Lender of any term, covenant, condition or agreement to be performed by Landlord under the Lease with the same force and effect as though performed by Landlord. Tenant further agrees to afford Lender a period of thirty (30) days beyond any period afforded to Landlord for the curing of such default during which period Lender may elect (but shall not be obligated) to seek to cure such default, or, if such default cannot be cured within that time, then such additional time as may be

Exhibit II
3


necessary to cure such default (including but not limited to commencement of foreclosure proceedings) during which period Lender may elect (but shall not be obligated) to seek to cure such default, prior to taking any action to terminate the Lease. If the Lease shall terminate for any reason, upon Lender’s written request given within thirty (30) days after such termination, Tenant, within fifteen (15) days after such request, shall execute and deliver to Lender a new lease of the Premises for the remainder of the term of the Lease and upon all of the same terms, covenants and conditions of the Lease;
(b)      that Tenant is the sole owner of the leasehold estate created by the Lease; and
(c)      to promptly certify in writing to Lender, in connection with any proposed assignment of the Mortgage, whether or not any default on the part of Landlord then exists under the Lease and to deliver to Lender any tenant estoppel certificates required under the Lease.
7.      Tenant acknowledges that the interest of Landlord under the Lease is assigned to Lender solely as security for the Promissory Note, and Lender shall have no duty, liability or obligation under the Lease or any extension or renewal thereof, unless Lender shall specifically undertake such liability in writing or Lender becomes and then only with respect to periods in which Lender becomes, the fee owner of the Property.
8.      This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State in which the Premises is located (excluding the choice of law rules thereof).
9.      This Agreement and each and every covenant, agreement and other provisions hereof shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns (including, without limitation, any successor holder of the Promissory Note) and may be amended, supplemented, waived or modified only by an instrument in writing executed by the party against which enforcement of the termination, amendment, supplement, waiver or modification is sought.
10.      All notices to be given under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed served upon receipt by the addressee if served personally or, if mailed, upon the first to occur of receipt or the refusal of delivery as shown on a return receipt, after deposit in the United States Postal Service certified mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the address of Landlord, Tenant, or Lender appearing below. Such addresses may be changed by notice given in the same manner. If any party consists of multiple individuals or entities, then notice to any one of same shall be deemed notice to such party.

W I T N E S S E T H
WHEREAS, Lender has agreed to make a loan (the “ Loan ”) to MAGUIRE PROPERTIES–355 S. GRAND, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“ Borrower ”), in the maximum principal amount of up to $270,000,000.00 (the “ Loan Amount ”), pursuant to that certain Loan Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, by and between Borrower and Lender (as the same may be amended, restated, replaced, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “ Loan Agreement ”; capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined shall have the respective meanings ascribed to such terms in the Loan Agreement);
WHEREAS, to evidence the Loan, Borrower has executed and delivered to Lender one or more promissory notes, in the maximum principal amount of the Loan Amount (as the same may be amended, restated, componentized, supplemented, modified, assigned in whole or in part, replaced and/or divided into multiple notes from time to time, the “ Note ” or “ Notes ”, as applicable), and Borrower has or will become indebted, and may from time to time become further indebted, to Lender with respect to the Loan;
WHEREAS, Lender requires as a condition to making the Loan that Guarantor agrees to unconditionally guaranty for the benefit of Lender and its successors and assigns, the full and timely payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations (as hereinafter defined);
WHEREAS, Guarantor directly and/or indirectly owns an interest in Borrower and will derive substantial economic benefit from the making of the Loan by Lender to Borrower; and
WHEREAS, Guarantor has agreed to execute and deliver this Guaranty in order to induce Lender to make the Loan.
NOW, THEREFORE, to induce Lender to make the Loan to Borrower and in consideration for the substantial benefit Guarantor will derive from the making of the Loan and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and legal sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:

 
 
 



ARTICLE I

NATURE AND SCOPE OF GUARANTY
1.1      Guaranty of Obligations . Guarantor hereby absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees to Lender the full and timely payment and performance of all of the Guaranteed Obligations as and when the same shall be due and payable, whether by lapse of time, by acceleration of maturity or otherwise. Guarantor hereby absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally covenants and agrees that it is liable for the Guaranteed Obligations as primary obligor.
1.2      Definitions of Guaranteed Obligations . As used herein, the term “ Guaranteed Obligations ” means all obligations and liabilities of Borrower pursuant to Section 9.19(b) of the Loan Agreement.
1.3      Nature of Guaranty . This Guaranty is an irrevocable, absolute and continuing guaranty of payment and performance and not a guaranty of collection. No exculpatory language contained in any of the other Loan Documents shall in any event or under any circumstances modify, qualify or affect the personal recourse obligations and liabilities of Guarantor hereunder. This Guaranty may not be revoked by Guarantor and shall continue to be effective with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations arising or created after any attempted revocation by Guarantor and, if Guarantor is a natural person, after Guarantor’s death, in which event this Guaranty shall be binding upon Guarantor’s estate and Guarantor’s legal representatives and heirs. It is the intent of Guarantor and Lender that the obligations and liabilities of Guarantor hereunder are absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and that so long as any portion of the Indebtedness shall be outstanding, such obligations and liabilities shall not be discharged or released in whole or in part, by any act or occurrence (including the fact that at any time or from time to time the Indebtedness or the Guaranteed Obligations may be increased or reduced) that might, but for the provisions of this Guaranty, be deemed a legal or equitable discharge or release of Guarantor. This Guaranty may be enforced by Lender and any subsequent holder of the Note or any part thereof and shall not be discharged by the assignment or negotiation of all or any part of the Note.
1.4      Joint and Several Liability . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, if Guarantor is comprised of more than one Person, the obligations and liabilities of each such Person under this Guaranty shall be joint and several.
1.5      Guaranteed Obligations Not Reduced by Set-Off . The Guaranteed Obligations and the liabilities and obligations of Guarantor to Lender hereunder shall not be reduced, discharged or released because or by reason of any existing or future set-off, offset, claim or defense of any kind or nature that Borrower, Guarantor or any other Person has or may hereafter have against Lender or against payment of the Indebtedness or the Guaranteed Obligations, whether such set-off, offset, claim or defense arises in connection with the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise.
1.6      No Duty to Pursue Others; No Duty to Mitigate . It shall not be necessary for Lender (and Guarantor hereby waives any rights that Guarantor may have to require Lender)

 
2
 



to take any action, obtain any judgment or file any claim prior to enforcing this Guaranty, including to (i) institute suit or otherwise enforce Lender’s rights, or exhaust its remedies, against Borrower or any other Person liable on all or any part of the Indebtedness or the Guaranteed Obligations, or against any other Person, (ii) enforce Lender’s rights, or exhaust any remedies available to Lender, against any collateral that shall ever have been given to secure all or any part of the Indebtedness or the Guaranteed Obligations, (iii) join Borrower or any other Person liable on the Guaranteed Obligations in any action seeking to enforce this Guaranty or (iv) resort to any other means of obtaining payment of all or any part of the Indebtedness or the Guaranteed Obligations. Lender shall not be required to mitigate damages or take any other action to reduce, collect or enforce the Guaranteed Obligations.
1.7      Payment by Guarantor . If all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations shall not be punctually paid or performed when due, whether at demand, maturity, acceleration or otherwise, Guarantor shall, immediately upon demand by Lender and without presentment, protest, notice of protest, notice of non-payment, notice of intention to accelerate the maturity, notice of acceleration of the maturity or any other notice whatsoever, pay in lawful money of the United States of America, the amount due thereon to Lender. Amounts not paid when due hereunder shall accrue interest at the Default Rate, unless such amounts already include interest at the Default Rate pursuant to the terms of the other Loan Documents. Such demands may be made at any time coincident with or after the time for payment of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations and may be made from time to time with respect to the same or different Guaranteed Obligations.
1.8      Application of Payments . If, at any time, there is any Indebtedness or obligations of Borrower to Lender that is not guaranteed by Guarantor, Lender, without in any manner impairing its rights hereunder, may, at its option, apply all amounts realized by Lender from any collateral or security held by Lender first to the payment of such unguaranteed Indebtedness or obligations, with the remaining amounts, if any, to then be applied to the payment of the Indebtedness or obligations guaranteed by Guarantor.
1.9      Waivers .
(a)      Guarantor hereby assents to all of the terms and agreements heretofore or hereafter made by Borrower with Lender (including the provisions of the Loan Documents) and hereby waives diligence, presentment, protest, demand on Borrower for payment or otherwise, filing of claims, requirement of a prior proceeding against Borrower and all notices (other than notices expressly provided for hereunder or required to be delivered under applicable law), including notice of:
(i)      the acceptance of this Guaranty;
(ii)      the present existence or future incurring of all or any part of the Indebtedness, or any future change to the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of all or any part of the Indebtedness or the Guaranteed Obligations;
(iii)      any amendment, modification, replacement or extension of any of the Loan Documents;

 
3
 



(iv)      the execution and delivery by Borrower and Lender of any other loan or credit agreement or of Borrower’s execution and delivery of any promissory note or other documents arising under the Loan Documents or in connection with the Property;
(v)      Lender’s transfer, participation, componentization or other disposition of all or any part of the Loan or this Guaranty, or an interest therein;
(vi)      the sale or foreclosure (or posting or advertising for sale or foreclosure), or assignment-in-lieu of foreclosure, of any collateral for the Guaranteed Obligations;
(vii)      any protest, proof of non-payment or default by Borrower, or the occurrence of a breach or an Event of Default, or the intent to accelerate or of acceleration in relation to any instrument relating to the Indebtedness or the Guaranteed Obligations;
(viii)      the obtaining or release of any guaranty or surety agreement, pledge, assignment or other security for the Indebtedness or the Guaranteed Obligations, or any part thereof;
(ix)      any defense based upon an election of remedies by Lender including any election to proceed by judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure of any security, whether real property or personal property security, or by deed in lieu thereof, and whether or not every aspect of any foreclosure sale is commercially reasonable, or any election of remedies, including remedies relating to real property or personal property security, which destroys or otherwise impairs the subrogation rights of Guarantor or the rights of Guarantor to proceed against Borrower or any guarantor for reimbursement, or both (including, if applicable, California Code of Civil Procedure (the “ CCP ”) Sections 580a, 580b, 580d and 726);
(x)      any other action at any time taken or omitted to be taken by Lender generally and any and all demands and notices of every kind in connection with this Guaranty, the other Loan Documents and any other documents or agreements evidencing, securing or relating to the Indebtedness or the Guaranteed Obligations, or any part thereof.
Without limiting the generality of any of the waivers contained in this Guaranty, Guarantor also waives (A) any defense based upon Lender’s election to waive its lien as to all or any security for the Loan pursuant to CCP Section 726.5 or otherwise, and (B) any and all benefits which might otherwise be available to Guarantor under California Civil Code (“ Civil Code ”) Sections 2787 to 2855, inclusive, 2899 and 3433.
(b)      Guarantor hereby waives any and all rights it may now or hereafter have to, and covenants and agrees that it shall not at any time, insist upon, plead or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any and all appraisal, valuation, stay, extension, marshaling-of-assets or redemption laws, or right of homestead or exemption, whether now or at any time hereafter in force, that may delay, prevent or otherwise affect the performance by Guarantor of its obligations under, or the enforcement by Lender of, this Guaranty. Guarantor hereby further waives any and all rights it may now or hereafter have to,

 
4
 



and covenants and agrees that it shall not, set up or claim any defense, counterclaim, cross-claim, set-off, offset, right of recoupment or other objection of any kind to any action, suit or proceeding in law, equity or otherwise, or to any demand or claim that may be instituted or made by Lender hereunder, except for the defense of the actual payment and/or performance of the Guaranteed Obligations hereunder.
(c)      In addition to all the other waivers agreed to and made by Guarantor as set forth in this Guaranty, and pursuant to the provisions of Section 2856 of the Civil Code, GUARANTOR HEREBY WAIVES ALL RIGHTS AND DEFENSES THAT GUARANTOR MAY HAVE BECAUSE BORROWER’S DEBT IS SECURED BY REAL PROPERTY. THIS MEANS, AMONG OTHER THINGS:
(i)    Lender may collect from Guarantor without first foreclosing on any real or personal property collateral pledged by Borrower.
(ii)      If Lender forecloses on any real property collateral pledged by Borrower:
(A)    The amount of the debt may be reduced only by the price for which that collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the collateral is worth more than the sale price; and
(B)    LENDER MAY COLLECT FROM GUARANTOR EVEN IF THE HOLDER, BY FORECLOSING ON THE REAL PROPERTY COLLATERAL, HAS DESTROYED ANY RIGHT GUARANTOR MAY HAVE TO COLLECT FROM BORROWER.
This is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses Guarantor may have because Borrower’s debt is secured by real property. These rights and defenses include, but are not limited to, any rights or defenses based upon Section 580a, 580b, 580d, or 726 of the CCP. Guarantor further hereby waives all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by Lender, even though that election of remedies, such as a nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to security for a guaranteed obligation, has destroyed Guarantor’s rights of subrogation and reimbursement against the principal by the operation of Section 580d of the CCP.
(d)      Guarantor specifically acknowledges and agrees that the waivers made by it in this Section and in the other provisions of this Guaranty are of the essence of the Loan transaction and that, but for this Guaranty and such waivers, Lender would not make the Loan to Borrower.
1.10      Waiver of Subrogation, Reimbursement and Contribution . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, until such time as the Loan is repaid in full and all of the Guaranteed Obligations are satisfied, Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives, releases and abrogates any and all rights it may now or hereafter have under any agreement, at law or in equity (including any law subrogating the Guarantor to the rights of Lender), to assert any claim against or seek contribution, indemnification or any other form of reimbursement from Borrower or any other Person liable for payment of any or all of the

 
5
 



Guaranteed Obligations for any payment made by Guarantor under or in connection with this Guaranty or otherwise.
1.11      Reinstatement; Effect of Bankruptcy . Guarantor agrees that if at any time all or any part of any payment at any time received by Lender from, or on behalf of, Borrower or Guarantor under or with respect to this Guaranty is held to constitute a Preferential Payment (as defined in Section 4.4 ), or if Lender is required to rescind, restore or return all or part of any such payment or pay the amount thereof to another Person for any reason (including the insolvency, bankruptcy reorganization, receivership or other debtor relief law or any judgment, order or decision thereunder), then the Guaranteed Obligations hereunder shall, to the extent of the payment rescinded, restored or returned, be deemed to have continued in existence notwithstanding such previous receipt by Lender, and the Guaranteed Obligations hereunder shall continue to be effective or reinstated, as the case may be, as to such payment as though such previous payment to Lender had never been made.
1.12      Suretyship Waivers . Guarantor understands and acknowledges that if Lender forecloses judicially or nonjudicially against any real property security for the Note, that foreclosure could impair or destroy any ability that Guarantor may have to seek reimbursement, contribution or indemnification from Borrower or others based on any right Guarantor may have of subrogation, reimbursement, contribution or indemnification for any amounts paid by Guarantor under this Guaranty. Guarantor further understands and acknowledges that in the absence of this provision, the potential impairment or destruction of Guarantor’s rights, if any, may entitle Guarantor to assert a defense to this Guaranty. By executing this Guaranty, Guarantor freely, irrevocably and unconditionally: (i) waives and relinquishes any such defense, and agrees that Guarantor will be fully liable under this Guaranty, even though Lender may foreclose judicially or nonjudicially against any real property security for the Note; (ii) agrees that Guarantor will not assert any such defense in any action or proceeding that Lender may commence to enforce this Guaranty; (iii) acknowledges and agrees that the rights and defenses waived by Guarantor under this Guaranty include any right or defense that Guarantor may have or be entitled to assert based upon or arising out of any one or more of the following: (A) CCP Sections 580a (which if Guarantor had not given this waiver, may otherwise limit Guarantor’s liability after any nonjudicial foreclosure sale to the difference between the obligations for which Guarantor is liable and the fair market value of the property or interests sold at such nonjudicial foreclosure sale rather than the actual proceeds of such sale), 580b and 580d (which if Guarantor had not given this waiver, may otherwise limit Lender’s right to recover a deficiency judgment with respect to purchase money obligations and after any nonjudicial foreclosure sale, respectively), or 726 (which, if Guarantor had not given this waiver, among other things, may otherwise require Lender to exhaust all of its security before a personal judgment may be obtained for a deficiency); or (B) Civil Code Section 2848; and (iv) acknowledges and agrees that Lender is relying on this waiver in making the Loan, and that this waiver is a material part of the consideration that Lender is receiving for making the Loan.
1.13      Limitations on Liability . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Guarantor shall have no liability under this Guaranty to the extent that (i) the liability was caused by actions, conditions or events that first occurred or arose at any time from and after the date that either (x) a sale pursuant to a foreclosure (either judicially or non-judicially) of the Mortgage or a conveyance of the Property in lieu of foreclosure of the

 
6
 



Mortgage or (y) if Lender elects to bifurcate the Loan into one or more mezzanine loans that are secured by a pledge of the direct or indirect ownership interest in Borrower pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement, (1) a foreclosure sale for the collateral given as security for such mezzanine loan or (2) a conveyance of such collateral in lieu thereof and, in the case of clause (2) only, so long as, on such date, Lender shall have received a non-recourse carveout guaranty in the same form as this Guaranty (a “ Replacement Guaranty ”) pursuant to which an Approved Replacement Guarantor agrees to be liable under such Replacement Guaranty from and after such date, and (ii) the events, actions, or conditions which caused such liability of Borrower were not caused by the actions of Guarantor or any Affiliate of Borrower or Guarantor following such foreclosure sale or deed or conveyance in lieu thereof (it being agreed and understood that Guarantor shall remain liable with respect to matters, events or circumstances which first occurred or arose prior to such date even if discovered after such date); provided , however , that Guarantor’s liability hereunder shall be automatically reinstated in the event that the applicable foreclosure sale or deed or conveyance in lieu of thereof is set aside, rescinded or invalidated as a result of any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other proceeding.
1.14      Guarantor’s Independent Obligations . Guarantor acknowledges that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Guaranty or any of the Loan Documents to the contrary, the obligations of Guarantor under this Guaranty are unlimited personal obligations of Guarantor which are not secured by the Mortgage or any other security instrument, and are wholly independent obligations from Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Documents. Guarantor’s obligations hereunder shall not be affected in any way by modifications, extensions, full performance or defaults under the Loan or any of the Loan Documents, with or without notice to Guarantor hereunder (it being agreed that Guarantor’s obligations shall not be increased nor its rights decreased, except, in each case, to a de minimis extent, without its prior consent). In this regard, Lender’s appraisal of the value of the Property is such that Lender is not willing to accept the consequences under Sections 726, 580a, 580b and 580d of the California Code of Civil Procedure of inclusion of this Guaranty among the obligations secured by the Mortgage. Guarantor acknowledges that Lender is unwilling to accept such consequences and that Lender would not make the Loan but for the personal unsecured liability undertaken by Guarantor.

The fair saleable value of Borrower’s assets is, and immediately following the making of the Loan, will 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 the obligations of Borrower). No petition in bankruptcy has been filed against Borrower, any Individual Borrower or Guarantor (or any of their respective Affiliates that own direct or indirect beneficial interests in the Property) and none of such Persons has ever made an assignment for the benefit of creditors or taken advantage of any insolvency act for the benefit of debtors. No Individual Borrower nor any of its Affiliates that own direct or indirect beneficial interests in the Property are contemplating either the filing of a petition by it under any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency laws or the liquidation of all or a major portion of any Individual Borrower’s assets or properties, and Borrower has no knowledge of any Person contemplating the filing of any such petition against it or such constituent Persons.

(e)      Provided that an Event of Default shall not have occurred and be continuing, Borrower shall have the right, without the consent or approval of Lender, to terminate or accept a surrender of any Lease that is not a Major Lease so long as such termination or surrender is (i) by reason of monetary or material non-monetary Tenant default and (ii) in a commercially reasonable manner to preserve and protect the applicable Individual Property.

Borrower shall be required to carry insurance throughout the Term in an amount not less than the Minimum Coverage Amount. However, if TRIPRA is discontinued or not renewed then Borrower shall be required to carry terrorism insurance in an amount not less than the Minimum Coverage Amount; provided, that, in such event, (x) Borrower shall not be required to spend per year on terrorism coverage (on a going forward basis after TRIPRA expires or is otherwise no longer in effect for any reason and following the expiration of the applicable terrorism insurance then in place) an amount in excess of two times (2x) the annual allocated amount of the total insurance premium that is payable in respect of the Individual Property’s all-risk and business interruption/rental income insurance required under the Loan Documents (without giving effect to the cost of terrorism and earthquake components of such property and business interruption/rental income insurance) obtained as of the date the applicable new terrorism insurance is being obtained (the “ Terrorism Premium Cap ") and, provided, that in no event shall any Insurance Premiums paid with respect to Policies in effect prior to the date TRIPRA expires or is otherwise no longer in effect for any reason be included for purposes of determining whether the amount of terrorism insurance premiums paid by Borrower for any applicable period exceed the Terrorism Cap, and (y) if the cost of such terrorism coverage exceeds the Terrorism Premium Cap, Borrower shall purchase the maximum amount of terrorism coverage

As used herein, the “ Applicable Federal Backstop Percentage ” shall mean the then applicable federal share of compensation for insured losses of an insurer under TRIPRA (which is currently 84% and subject to annual 1% decreases beginning in 2016 until such percentage equals 80%), (iv) Liberty is not the subject of a bankruptcy or similar insolvency proceeding and (v) no Governmental Authority issues any statement, finding or decree that insurers of perils of terrorism similar to Liberty (i.e., captive insurers arranged similar to Liberty) do not qualify for the payments or benefits of TRIPRA. In the event that Liberty is providing insurance coverage (A) to other properties immediately adjacent to the applicable Individual Property, and/or (B) to other properties owned by a Person(s) who is not an Affiliate of Borrower, and such insurance is not subject to the same reinsurance and other requirements of this Section, then Lender may reasonably re-evaluate the limits and deductibles of the insurance required to be provided by Liberty hereunder. In the event any of the foregoing conditions are not satisfied, Liberty shall not be deemed an acceptable insurer of perils of terrorism and acts of terrorism. To the extent that insurance pursuant to this Section 5.1.1(ix) is maintained pursuant to an Acceptable Blanket Policy, if such Acceptable Blanket Policy covers more than one property within a one thousand foot radius of the applicable Individual Property (the “ Radius ”), the limits of any such Acceptable Blanket Policy shall be adequate to maintain the coverage set forth in this Section 5.1.1(ix) for such Individual Property as well as each property within the Radius that is covered by such blanket policy calculated on a total insured value basis, to the extent such coverage is commercially available.
(x)      upon sixty (60) days’ written notice, such other reasonable insurance and in such reasonable amounts as Lender 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 applicable Individual Property and located in the vicinity of the applicable Individual Property.

69



(b)      All insurance provided for in Section 5.1.1(a) shall be obtained under valid and enforceable policies (collectively, the “ Policies ”) and shall be issued by financially sound and responsible insurance companies authorized or licensed to do business in the state in which the Property is located and having a claims paying ability rating with the issuing companies of (i) “A” or better by S&P and “A2” by Moody’s, to the extent Moody’s is rating the Securities and rates the applicable insurance company (provided, however for multi-layered policies, (A) if more than one (1) but fewer than five (5) insurance companies issue the Policies, then at least 75% of the required insurance coverage represented by the Policies must be provided by insurance companies with a claims paying ability rating of “A” or better by S&P and “A2” by Moody’s, to the extent Moody’s is rating the Securities and rates the applicable insurance company, with no remaining carrier below “BBB” by S&P and “Baa2” by Moody’s, to the extent Moody’s is rating the Securities and rates the applicable insurance company 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 claims paying ability rating of “A” or better by S&P and “A2” by Moody’s, to the extent Moody’s is rating the Securities and rates the applicable insurance company, with no remaining carrier below “BBB” by S&P and “Baa2” by Moody’s, to the extent Moody’s is rating the Securities and rates the applicable insurance company) and (ii) “A- VIII” or better by AM Best. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) Borrower shall be permitted to utilize Royal & Sun Alliance Insurance Company of Canada (“ R&S Canada ”), in its current participation amounts and position within the syndicate provided that R&S Canada maintains a rating of “A” or better with S&P, and (B) Borrower shall be permitted to maintain the property coverage in place as of the Closing Date with the existing insurance companies in their current participation amounts and positions within the syndicate that do not maintain the S&P rating required above; provided that (1) the current ratings of such insurers are not withdrawn or downgraded below the date hereof and (2) at renewal of the current policy term on October 31, 2016, Borrower shall replace all such insurers with insurance companies meeting the S&P and AM Best rating requirements set forth hereinabove. Moreover, if Borrower desires to maintain insurance required hereunder from an insurance company which does not meet the claims paying ability rating set forth herein but the parent of such insurance company maintains such ratings, Borrower may use such insurance companies if the applicable Rating Agencies have provided a Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to such (such Rating Agency Confirmation may be conditioned on items required by the Ratings Agencies including a requirement that the parent guarantee the obligations of such insurance companies).
(c)      All Policies provided for or contemplated by Section 5.1.1(a) shall name Borrower as a named insured and, with respect to Policies of liability insurance, except for the Policy referenced in Section 5.1.1(a)(v) , shall include Lender and its successors and/or assigns as an additional insured, as its interests may appear, and in the case of Policies of property insurance, including but not limited to special form/all-risk, boiler and machinery, terrorism, windstorm, flood and earthquake insurance, shall contain a standard non-contributing mortgagee clause in favor of Lender providing that the loss thereunder shall be payable to Lender unless below the threshold for Borrower to handle such claim without Lender intervention as provided in Section 5.2 below. Additionally, if Borrower obtains property insurance coverage in addition to or in excess of that required by Section 5.1.1(a)(i) for the Individual Property, then such insurance policies shall also contain a standard non-contributing mortgagee clause in favor of Lender providing that the loss thereunder shall be payable to Lender.

70



(d)      All Policies provided for in this Section 5.1 shall contain clauses or endorsements to the effect that:
(i)      with respect to the Policies of property insurance, contain clauses or endorsements to the effect that, (1) 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 Lender is concerned and (2) the Policies shall not be cancelled without at least 30 days’ written notice to Lender, except ten (10) days’ notice for non-payment of premium;
(ii)      with respect to all Policies of liability insurance, if obtainable by Borrower using commercially reasonable efforts, contain clauses or endorsements to the effect that, (1) the Policy shall not be canceled without at least thirty (30) days’ written notice to Lender and any other party included therein as an additional insured (other than in the case of non-payment in which case only ten days prior notice, or the shortest time allowed by applicable Legal Requirement (whichever is longer), will be required) and shall not be materially changed (other than to increase the coverage provided thereby) without such a thirty (30) day notice and (2) the issuers thereof shall give notice to Lender if the issuers elect not to renew such Policies prior to its expiration. If the issuers cannot or will not provide notice, Borrower shall be obligated to provide such notice; and
(iii)      not contain any clause or provision that would make Lender liable for any Insurance Premiums thereon or subject to any assessments thereunder.
(e)      If at any time Lender is not in receipt of written evidence that all insurance required hereunder is in full force and effect, Lender shall have the right, with prior written notice to Borrower, to take such action as Lender deems necessary to protect its interest in any Individual Property, including the obtaining of such insurance coverage as Lender in its sole discretion deems appropriate and all premiums incurred by Lender in connection with such action or in obtaining such insurance and keeping it in effect shall be paid by Borrower to Lender upon demand and until paid shall be secured by the Mortgage and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.
(f)      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 Obligations, all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to the Policies then in force concerning any Individual Property and all proceeds payable thereunder shall thereupon vest in the purchaser at such foreclosure or Lender or other transferee in the event of such other transfer of title.
(g)      The property insurance, commercial general liability, umbrella liability insurance and rental income and/or business interruption insurance required under Sections 5.1.1(a)(i) , (ii), (iii) and (vii) above shall cover perils of terrorism and acts of terrorism and Borrower shall maintain property insurance, commercial general liability, umbrella liability insurance and rental income and/or business interruption insurance for loss resulting from perils and acts of terrorism on terms (including amounts) consistent with those required under Sections 5.1.1(a)(i) , (ii) , (iii) and (vii) above at all times during the term of the Loan.

71



(h)      Any blanket insurance Policy shall otherwise provide the same protection as would a separate Policy insuring only the applicable Individual Property in compliance with the provisions of Section 5.1.1(a) and is otherwise acceptable to Lender (any such blanket policy, an “ Acceptable Blanket Policy ”).
5.1.2      Insurance Company . All Policies required pursuant to Section 5.1.1 (i) shall, with respect to all property insurance policies and rental income and/or business interruption insurance policies, contain a Standard Mortgagee Clause and a Lender’s Loss Payable Endorsement, or their equivalents, including providing that Lender is the person to whom all payments made by such insurance company shall be paid; (ii) shall contain a waiver of subrogation against Lender; (iii) shall contain such provisions as Lender deems reasonably necessary to protect its interest including endorsements providing (A) that neither Borrower, Lender nor any other party shall be a co-insurer under said Policies and (B) except as otherwise specified herein, for a deductible per loss of an amount not more than that which is customarily maintained by prudent owners of properties with a standard of operation and maintenance comparable to and in the general vicinity of the applicable Individual Property, but in no event in excess of an amount reasonably acceptable to Lender. Certificates of insurance shall be delivered to Lender, c/o Deutsche Bank AG, New York Branch, 60 Wall Street, 10th Floor, New York, NY 10005, Attn: Karen Bernsohn, on the date hereof with respect to the current Policies and within fifteen (15) Business Days after the effective date thereof with respect to all renewal Policies. Borrower shall (i) cause the payment of the premiums with respect to the Policies (the “ Insurance Premiums ”) to be timely paid as the same become due and payable and (ii) prior to expiration shall furnish to Lender, upon Lender’s written demand, evidence of the renewal of each of the Policies reasonably satisfactory to Lender, and (iii) furnish to Lender receipts for the timely payment of the Insurance Premiums or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Lender (provided, however, that Borrower shall not be required to pay such Insurance Premiums nor furnish such evidence of payment to Lender in the event that the amounts required to pay such Insurance Premiums have been deposited into the Insurance Account pursuant to Section 6.4 hereof). If Borrower does not furnish  evidence of the renewal of such Policies prior to expiration, upon Lender’s written demand for such evidence then Lender may, but shall not be obligated to, procure such insurance and Borrower shall reimburse Lender for the cost of such Insurance Premiums promptly on demand, with interest accruing at the Default Rate from the date expended. In addition, (i) after the occurrence of a Casualty or (ii) if requested by a Rating Agency, Borrower shall make the redacted Policies available for review by Lender, such Rating Agency or their respective representatives, upon reasonable prior notice at Borrower’s address set forth in Section 10.6 hereof. Notwithstanding the terms of the first sentence of this subsection, proceeds paid to Lender pursuant to this Section 5.1.2 shall be held by Lender and applied in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.4 .
Section 5.2      Casualty . If any Individual Property shall be damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty (a “ Casualty ”), Borrower shall give prompt notice of such damage to Lender and shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the completion of the Restoration of the applicable Individual Property as nearly as possible to the condition the applicable Individual Property was in immediately prior to such Casualty, with such alterations as may be reasonably approved by Lender, to the extent such approval is required hereunder, and otherwise in accordance with Section 5.4 . Borrower shall pay all costs of such Restoration whether or not such costs are covered by insurance. Lender may, but shall not be obligated to make proof of loss if not made promptly by Borrower. In addition, Lender may participate in

72



any settlement discussions with any insurance companies (and shall approve any final settlement) (i) if an Event of Default is continuing or (ii) with respect to any Casualty in which the Net Proceeds or the costs of completing the Restoration are equal to or greater than five percent (5%) of the Outstanding Principal Balance and Borrower shall deliver to Lender all instruments reasonably required by Lender to permit such participation. If the cost of Restoration is reasonably expected to be in excess of the Casualty Threshold, any Insurance Proceeds in connection with such a Casualty (whether or not Lender elects to settle and adjust the claim or Borrower settles such claim) shall be due and payable solely to Lender and held by Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In the event Borrower or any party other than Lender is a payee on any check representing Insurance Proceeds with respect to any Casualty, Borrower shall immediately endorse, and cause all such third parties to endorse, such check payable to Lender. Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Lender as its attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, to endorse any such check payable to Lender. The expenses incurred by Lender in the adjustment and collection of Insurance Proceeds shall become part of the Obligations, shall be secured by the Loan Documents and shall be reimbursed by Borrower to Lender upon demand. Borrower hereby releases Lender from any and all liability with respect to the settlement and adjustment by Lender of any claims in respect of any Casualty.

Notwithstanding any taking by any public or quasi-public authority through Condemnation or otherwise (including, but not limited to, any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of the exercise of such taking), Borrower shall continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided for its payment in the Note and in this Agreement and the Debt shall not be reduced until any Award shall have been actually received and applied by Lender, after the deduction of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of collection, to the reduction or discharge of the Debt. Lender shall not be limited to the interest paid on the Award by the condemning authority but shall be entitled to receive out of the Award interest at the rate or rates provided herein or in the Note.

The Casualty Retainage shall not be released until the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.4(b) and that all approvals necessary for the re-occupancy and use of the affected Individual Property have been obtained from all appropriate Governmental Authorities, and Lender receives evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that the costs of the Restoration have been paid in full or will be paid in full out of the Casualty Retainage; provided, however, that Lender will release the portion of the Casualty Retainage being held with respect to any contractor, subcontractor or materialman engaged in the Restoration as of the date upon which (i) the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that such contractor, subcontractor or materialman has satisfactorily completed all work and has supplied all materials in accordance with the provisions of such contractor’s, subcontractor’s or materialman’s contract, (ii) the contractor, subcontractor or materialman delivers the lien waivers and evidence of payment in full of all sums due to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman as may be reasonably requested by Lender or by the title company issuing the Title Insurance Policy, and (iii) Lender 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.

76



release of any such portion of the Casualty Retainage shall be approved by the surety company, if any, which has issued a payment or performance bond with respect to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman.
(v)      Lender shall not be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds more frequently than once every calendar month.
(vi)      If at any time the Net Proceeds or the undisbursed balance thereof shall not, in the reasonable opinion of Lender in consultation with the Casualty Consultant, be sufficient to pay in full the balance of the costs which are estimated by the Casualty Consultant to be incurred in connection with the completion of the Restoration, Borrower shall deposit the deficiency (the “ Net Proceeds Deficiency ”) with Lender (for deposit into the Casualty and Condemnation Account) before any further disbursement of the Net Proceeds shall be made. The Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender shall be deposited by Lender into the Casualty and Condemnation Account 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 5.4(b) shall constitute additional security for the Obligations.
(vii)      Provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the excess, if any, of the Net Proceeds and the remaining balance, if any, of the Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender after the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.4(b) , and the receipt by Lender of evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that all costs incurred in connection with the Restoration have been paid in full, shall be remitted by Lender (A) if any New Mezzanine Loan is then outstanding, to the New Mezzanine Loan Lender for application in accordance with the New Mezzanine Loan Documents, (B) if no New Mezzanine Loan is outstanding, but the Current Mezzanine Loan is then outstanding, to the Current Mezzanine Loan Lender for application in accordance with the Current Mezzanine Loan Documents and (C) if no Mezzanine Loan is outstanding, to Borrower.
(c)      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, including the provisions of this Section 5.4 , if the Loan is included in a REMIC and, immediately following a release of any portion of the Lien of the Mortgage following a Casualty or Condemnation (but taking into account any proposed Restoration of the remaining affected Individual Property), the ratio of the unpaid principal balance of the Loan to the value of the remaining Property is greater than 125% (such value to be determined, in Lender’s sole discretion, by any commercially reasonable method permitted to a REMIC; and which shall exclude the value of personal property or going concern value, if any), the Outstanding Principal Balance must be paid down by an amount equal to the least applicable “qualified amount” as that term is defined in the IRS Revenue Procedure 2010-30, as the same may be amended, replaced, supplemented or modified from time to time, unless Lender receives an opinion of counsel that if such amount is not paid, the applicable Securitization will not fail to maintain its status as a REMIC as a result of the related release of such portion of the Lien of the Mortgage. If and to the extent the preceding sentence applies, only such amount of the net Award or net Insurance Proceeds (as applicable), if any, in excess of the amount required to pay down the principal balance of the Loan may be released for purposes of Restoration or released to Borrower as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 5.4 .

77



(d)      All Net Proceeds not required (i) to be made available for the Restoration or (ii) to be remitted to any Mezzanine Loan Lender or to be returned to Borrower as excess Net Proceeds pursuant to Section 5.4(b)(vii) may be retained and applied by Lender in accordance with Section 2.4.4 hereof toward the payment of the Debt whether or not then due and payable in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall deem proper, or, at the discretion of Lender, the same may be paid, either in whole or in part, to Borrower for such purposes as Lender shall approve, in its discretion. Additionally, throughout the term of the Loan if an Event of Default is continuing, then Borrower shall pay to Lender, with respect to any payment of the Debt pursuant to this Section 5.4(d) , an additional amount equal to the Prepayment Fee and any applicable Liquidated Damages Amount; provided, however, that if an Event of Default is not continuing, then no Prepayment Fee or Liquidated Damages Amount shall be payable.
(e)      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if in connection with a Casualty any insurance company makes a payment under a property or business or rental interruption insurance Policy that Borrower proposes be treated as business or rental interruption insurance, then, notwithstanding any designation (or lack of designation) by the insurance company as to the purpose of such payment, as between Lender and Borrower, such payment shall not be treated as business or rental interruption Insurance Proceeds unless Borrower has demonstrated to Lender’s reasonable satisfaction that the remaining Net Proceeds that have been received from the property insurance companies, when added to estimated future Net Proceeds (as estimated by Lender in Lender’s sole and absolute discretion) are sufficient to pay 100% of the cost of the Restoration or, if such Net Proceeds are to be applied to repay the Obligations in accordance with the terms hereof, that such remaining Net Proceeds will be sufficient to satisfy the Obligations in full. To the extent any payment under a property or business or rental interruption insurance Policy is treated as business or rental interruption insurance in accordance with this paragraph (e), such funds shall be deposited into the Casualty and Condemnation Account. Provided that no Event of Default then exists, Insurance Proceeds treated as business or rental interruption insurance in accordance with this paragraph (e) (to the extent of available funds) shall be (A) first applied by Lender, on each Monthly Payment Date, to pay for Debt Service, deposits of Reserve Funds and payments of the Monthly Operating Expense Budgeted Amount and any Approved Extraordinary Operating Expenses actually incurred (collectively, the “ Approved Monthly BI Expenses ”) for such month pursuant to, and in the priorities set forth in, Section 6.13.1, and (B) second, to the extent that Lender determines that the amount of business or rental interruption Insurance Proceeds then remaining in the Casualty and Condemnation Account is sufficient to pay for all future Approved Monthly BI Expenses through the completion of the subject Restoration, disbursed by Lender to Borrower in an aggregate amount under this clause (B) not to exceed the Approved Monthly BI Expenses actually incurred by Borrower from the date of the applicable Casualty to the date of the first installment of business or rental interruption Insurance Proceeds advanced by the applicable insurance company (as evidenced by supporting documentation by Borrower that is acceptable to Lender). Provided no Trigger Period then exists, all remaining business or rental interruption insurance proceeds shall be disbursed to Borrower upon the completion of the subject Restoration and the recommencement of full unabated rent being paid by the Tenants under the Leases required to remain in place pursuant to Section 5.4(b)(i)(C).
(f)      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 5.4 , in the case of a Casualty to the 350 S. Figueroa Property, if Borrower is required to deposit Net

78



Proceeds with an insurance trustee pursuant to the 350 S. Figueroa Property Documents then Lender will make Net Proceeds received by Lender available to Borrower for the deposit of such Net Proceeds with the insurance trustee in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the amount of Net Proceeds required to be deposited under the 350 S. Figueroa Property Documents or (ii) the amount of Net Proceeds received by Lender in connection with the Casualty to the 350 S. Figueroa Property upon (A) Lender’s receipt of evidence reasonably acceptable to Lender that all other amounts required to be deposited with such insurance trustee have been deposited with the insurance trustee in accordance with the 350 S. Figueroa Property Documents, (B) Lender’s receipt of evidence reasonably acceptable to Lender that the funds deposited with such insurance trustee are sufficient to restore the 350 S. Figueroa Property and the other properties required to be restored under the 350 S.

6.13.3      Application After Event of Default .

If the requirements of clauses (a) and (b) above are satisfied by Borrower, Borrower shall not be subject to Trigger Period as a result of a Low Debt Service Period until such time as the Low Debt Service Period Threshold Collateral if applied to the Outstanding Principal Balance or Low Debt Service Period Threshold Letter of Credit if drawn upon and applied to the Outstanding Principal Balance, as applicable, would not be sufficient to prevent the occurrence of a Low Debt Service Period. Following the termination of the Trigger Period (determined without consideration of the Low Debt Service Period Threshold Collateral or Low Debt Service Period Threshold Letter of Credit, as applicable) and provided no subsequent Trigger Period resulting from a separate event has occurred which has not been cured, Lender shall, at Borrower’s request, return to Borrower the Low Debt Service Period Threshold Collateral or Low Debt Service Period Threshold Letter of Credit, as applicable (to the extent not previously disbursed or applied by Lender in accordance with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents).

Borrower shall not, without obtaining the prior written consent of Lender, further pledge, assign or grant any security interest in any Cash Management Account, or permit any Lien to attach thereto, or any levy to be made thereon, or any Uniform Commercial Code financing statements, except those naming Lender as the secured party, to be filed with respect thereto. This Agreement is, among other things, intended by the parties to be a security agreement for purposes of the UCC. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may apply any sums in any Cash

89



Management Account in any order and in any manner as Lender shall elect in Lender’s discretion without seeking the appointment of a receiver and without adversely affecting the rights of Lender to foreclose the Lien of the Mortgage or exercise its other rights under the Loan Documents. Cash Management Accounts shall not constitute trust funds and may be commingled with other monies held by Lender. All interest which accrues (x) on the funds in the Tax Account and the Insurance Account shall accrue for the benefit of Lender and shall be taxable to Borrower and (y) on the funds in the other Accounts shall accrue for the benefit of Borrower and shall be taxable to Borrower. Upon repayment in full of the Debt, all remaining funds in the Accounts, if any, shall be promptly (a) if a New Mezzanine Loan is outstanding, deposited in the New Mezzanine Loan Account, to be disbursed in accordance with the terms of the New Mezzanine Loan Documents, or (b) if no New Mezzanine Loan is outstanding or if the New Mezzanine Loan is to be simultaneously repaid in full with the Debt, deposited in the Current Mezzanine Loan Account, to be disbursed in accordance with the terms of the Current Mezzanine Loan Documents, or (c) if no New Mezzanine Loan or Current Mezzanine Loan is outstanding or if the New Mezzanine Loan and Current Mezzanine Loan are to be simultaneously repaid in full with the debt, disbursed to Borrower.

Any such application to the Debt after an Event of Default shall be subject to Prepayment Fee and/or Liquidated Damages Amount, if any, applicable thereto. On the Maturity Date, if the Debt has not otherwise been paid in full, any or all of such Letters of Credit may be applied to reduce the Debt.
(c)      With respect to any Letter of Credit delivered to Lender in connection with this Loan, Borrower shall have no reimbursement obligations with respect to such Letter of Credit, which shall be a capital contribution to Borrower and shall be accompanied by the execution and delivery of a contribution agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C .

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the above, Lender is not obligated to draw any Letter of Credit upon the happening of an event specified in (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) above and shall not be liable for any losses sustained by Borrower or applicable/obligor due to the insolvency of the bank issuing the Letter of Credit if Lender has not drawn the applicable Letter of Credit.

Borrower also agrees to reimburse Lender, the Lender Group, the Issuer and/or the Underwriter Group for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by Lender, the Lender Group, the Issuer and/or the Underwriter Group in connection with investigating or defending the Liabilities. Borrower’s liability under this paragraph will be limited to Liability that arises out of, or is based upon, an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material

102

This indemnification provision will be in addition to any liability which Borrower may otherwise have. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that any Person that is included in the Lender Group, the Issuer and/or the Underwriter Group that is not a direct party to this Agreement shall be deemed to be a third-party beneficiary to this Agreement with respect to this Section 8.2(b) . Within five (5) Business Days after Lender’s written request, Borrower and Guarantor shall execute and deliver to Lender a separate indemnification and reimbursement agreement in favor of the Lender Group, the Issuer and the Underwriter Group in form and substance consistent with the indemnification and reimbursement obligations of Borrower under this Section 8.2(b) .

(d)      Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 8.2 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 8.2 , notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof, but the omission to so notify the indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability which the indemnifying party may have to any indemnified party hereunder except to the extent that failure to notify causes prejudice to the indemnifying party. In the event that any action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled, jointly with any other indemnifying party, to participate therein and, to the extent that it (or they) may elect by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party. After notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence of this Section 8.2(d) , such indemnifying party shall not pay for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there are any legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to assert such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such

103



indemnified party at the cost of the indemnifying party. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel unless an indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those available to any other indemnified party. Without the prior written consent of Lender (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), no indemnifying party shall settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder (whether or not any indemnified party is an actual or potential party to such claim, action, suit or proceeding) unless the indemnifying party shall have given Lender reasonable prior written notice thereof and shall have obtained an unconditional release of each indemnified party hereunder from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceedings, and such settlement requires no statement as to, or an admission of, fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of the indemnified party.
(e)      In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnity agreement provided for in Section 8.2(b) or (c)  is for any reason held to be unenforceable as to an indemnified party in respect of any Liabilities (or action in respect thereof) referred to therein which would otherwise be indemnifiable under Section 8.2(b) or (c) , the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such Liabilities (or action in respect thereof); provided, however, that no Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. In determining the amount of contribution to which the respective parties are entitled, the following factors shall be considered: (i) the Issuer’s and Borrower’s relative knowledge and access to information concerning the matter with respect to which the claim was asserted; (ii) the opportunity to correct and prevent any statement or omission; and (iii) any other equitable considerations appropriate in the circumstances. Lender and Borrower hereby agree that it would not be equitable if the amount of such contribution were determined by pro rata or per capita allocation.
(f)      The liabilities and obligations of both Borrower and Lender under this Section 8.2 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the satisfaction and discharge of the Debt.

Payments (other than payment during the continuance of an Event of Default, the application of a partial prepayment in accordance with this Agreement and the application of Net Proceeds) shall be applied pro-rata between the Loan and each New Mezzanine Loan (based on applicable outstanding principal balance and interests rate of the Loan and each New Mezzanine Loan).

Section 9.2      Remedies .
9.2.1      Acceleration . Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in clauses (vii), (viii) or (ix)  of Section 9.1 above) and at any time thereafter, Lender may, in addition to any other rights or remedies available to it pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or at law or in equity, take such action, without notice or demand (and Borrower hereby expressly waives any such notice or demand), that Lender deems advisable to protect and enforce its rights against Borrower and in and to the Property, including declaring the Obligations to be immediately due and payable, and Lender may enforce or avail itself of any or all rights or remedies provided in the Loan Documents against Borrower and the Property, including all rights or remedies available at law or in equity; and upon any Event of Default described in clauses (vii), (viii) or (ix)  of Section 9.1 above, the Obligations of Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall immediately and automatically become due and payable in full, without notice or demand, and Borrower hereby expressly waives any such notice or demand, anything contained herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding.
9.2.2      Remedies Cumulative . During the continuance of an Event of Default, all or any one or more of the rights, powers, privileges and other remedies available to Lender against Borrower under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents executed and delivered by, or applicable to, Borrower or at law or in equity may be exercised by Lender at any time and from time to time, whether or not all or any of the Obligations shall be declared due and payable, and whether or not Lender shall have commenced any foreclosure proceeding or other action for the enforcement of its rights and remedies under any of the Loan Documents with respect to the Property. The rights, powers and remedies of Lender under this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which Lender may have against Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or existing at law or in equity or otherwise. Lender’s rights, powers and remedies may be pursued independently, singly, successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in its sole discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender permitted by law or contract or as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents or by equity. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if an Event of Default is continuing (i) Lender shall not be subject to any “one action” or “election of remedies” law or rule, and (ii) all Liens and other rights, remedies or privileges provided to Lender shall remain in full force and effect until Lender has exhausted all of its remedies against

110



the Property and the Mortgage has been foreclosed, sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Obligations or the Obligations have been paid in full. No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon 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.
9.2.3      Severance .
(a)      During the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender 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 Lender in its sole discretion, including the following circumstances: (i) in the event Borrower defaults beyond any applicable grace period in the payment of one or more scheduled payments of principal and/or interest, Lender may foreclose the Mortgage to recover such delinquent payments, or (ii) in the event Lender elects to accelerate less than the entire Outstanding Principal Balance, Lender may foreclose the Mortgage to recover so much of the principal balance of the Loan as Lender may accelerate and such other sums secured by the Mortgage as Lender may elect. Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, each Individual Property shall remain subject to the Mortgage to secure payment of the sums secured by the Mortgage and not previously recovered.
(b)      During the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right from time to time to sever the Note and the other Loan Documents into one or more separate notes, mortgages and other security documents in such denominations as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion for purposes of evidencing and enforcing its rights and remedies provided hereunder. Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender from time to time, promptly after the request of Lender, a severance agreement and such other documents as Lender shall request in order to effect the severance described in the preceding sentence, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender. Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints Lender as its true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in its name and stead to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect the aforesaid severance, Borrower ratifying all that its said attorney shall do by virtue thereof; provided, however, Lender shall not make or execute any such documents under such power until three (3) days after notice has been given to Borrower by Lender of Lender’s intent to exercise its rights under such power. Except as may be required pursuant to Section 8.4 hereof, (i) Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any costs or expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, execution, recording or filing of the severed Loan Documents, and (ii) the severed Loan Documents shall not contain any representations, warranties or covenants not contained in the Loan Documents.
(c)      During the continuance of an Event of Default, any amounts recovered from the Property or any other collateral for the Loan after an Event of Default may be applied by Lender 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 Lender in its sole discretion shall determine.
9.2.4      Lender’s Right to Perform . If Borrower fails to perform any covenant or obligation contained herein and such failure shall continue for a period of five (5) Business Days

111



after Borrower’s receipt of written notice thereof from Lender, without in any way limiting Lender’s right to exercise any of its rights, powers or remedies as provided hereunder, or under any of the other Loan Documents, Lender may, but shall have no obligation to, perform, or cause the performance of, such covenant or obligation, and all costs, expenses, liabilities, penalties and fines of Lender incurred or paid in connection therewith shall be payable by Borrower to Lender upon demand and if not paid shall be added to the Obligations (and to the extent permitted under applicable laws, secured by the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents) and shall bear interest thereafter at the Default Rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender shall have no obligation to send notice to Borrower of any such failure.

Prior to a Securitization, whenever pursuant to this Agreement the Rating Agencies are given any right to approve or disapprove any matter, or any arrangement or term is to be satisfactory to the Rating Agencies, the decision of Lender to approve or disapprove such matter or to decide whether arrangements or terms are satisfactory or not satisfactory, based upon Lender’s determination of Rating Agency criteria, shall be substituted therefor.
(b)      Whenever, pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, a Rating Agency Confirmation is required from each applicable Rating Agency, in the event that any applicable Rating Agency “declines review”, “waives review” or otherwise indicates in writing or otherwise to Lender’s or Servicer’s satisfaction that no Rating Agency Confirmation will or needs to be issued with respect to the matter in question (each, a “ Review Waiver ”), then the Rating Agency Confirmation requirement shall be deemed to be satisfied with respect to such matter. It is expressly agreed and understood, however, that receipt of a Review Waiver (i) from any one Rating Agency shall not be binding or apply with respect to any other Rating Agency and (ii) with respect to one matter shall not apply or be deemed to apply to any subsequent matter for which Rating Agency Confirmation is required.

Section 10.10      Preferences . Lender 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 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 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 Lender.
Section 10.11      Waiver of Notice . Borrower shall not be entitled to any notices of any nature whatsoever from Lender except with respect to matters for which this Agreement or the other Loan Documents specifically and expressly provide for the giving of notice by Lender 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

116



the right to receive any notice from Lender 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 Lender to Borrower.
Section 10.12      Remedies of Borrower . In the event that a claim or adjudication is made that Lender or its agents have acted unreasonably or unreasonably delayed acting in any case where, by law or under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Lender or such agent, as the case may be, has an obligation to act reasonably or promptly, neither Lender nor its agents shall be liable for any monetary damages and Borrower’s sole remedy shall be limited to commencing an action seeking injunctive relief or declaratory judgment.

Section 10.14      No Joint Venture or Partnership; No Third Party Beneficiaries .
(a)      Borrower and Lender intend that the relationships created hereunder and under the other Loan Documents be solely that of borrower and lender. Nothing herein or therein is intended to create a joint venture, partnership, tenancy-in-common or joint tenancy relationship between Borrower and Lender nor to grant Lender any interest in the Property other than that of mortgagee, beneficiary or lender.
(b)      The Loan Documents are solely for the benefit of Lender and Borrower (and the Lender Group, the Issuer and the Underwriter Group with respect to Section 8.2(b) ) and nothing contained in any Loan Document shall be deemed to confer upon anyone other than Lender and Borrower any right to insist upon or to enforce the performance or observance of any of the obligations contained therein.
Section 10.15      Publicity . All news releases, publicity or advertising by any party hereto or its Affiliates through any media intended to reach the general public which refers to the Loan Documents or the financing evidenced by the Loan Documents shall be subject to the prior consultation between Borrower and Lender, provided, that (a) Borrower may issue a release stating that a financing has occurred which does not mention Lender or any Affiliates of Lender, any of the material terms of the Loan (other than the Loan amount) or any Securities or Securitization or any prospective securitization or securities related to the Loan, and (b) Lender may commission advertisements in newspapers, trade publications or other written public advertisement media (including tombstone advertisements) which may include references to the Loan and the Property. The foregoing shall not apply to any promotional or marketing materials that are prepared by or on behalf of Lender in connection with a potential Secondary Market Transaction, it being agreed that Lender shall have the right to issue, without Borrower’s approval, and Borrower hereby authorizes Lender to issue, such promotional and marketing

117



materials, term sheets and other materials as Lender may deem reasonably necessary or appropriate in connection with Lender’s own promotional and marketing activities with respect to any potential Secondary Market Transaction, and such materials may describe the Loan in general terms or in detail and Lender’s participation therein. In addition, nothing contained in this Section 10.15 shall restrict BOP (or any direct or indirect owner of BOP whose shares are traded on a nationally recognized exchange) from including information regarding the Loan and its terms in any securities filings, disclosures or information distributed to its shareholders to the extent BOP (or such direct or indirect owner of BOP) deems necessary or appropriate under applicable Legal Requirements, provided, that no such information shall mention or refer to any Securities or Securitization or to any prospective securitization or securities related to the Loan, or to any Affiliate of Lender that acts as depositor, initial purchaser or underwriter with respect to a Securitization of all or any portion of the Loan.  
Section 10.16      Waiver of Marshalling of Assets . 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, as applicable, and others with interests in Borrower, and of any Individual 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 Lender under the Loan Documents to a sale of any Individual Property for the collection of the Obligations without any prior or different resort for collection, or of the right of Lender to the payment of the Obligations out of the net proceeds of any Individual Property in preference to every other claimant whatsoever.
Section 10.17      Waivers of Offsets/Defenses/Counterclaims . Borrower hereby waives the right to assert a counterclaim, other than a compulsory counterclaim, in any action or proceeding brought against it by Lender or its agents or otherwise to offset any obligations to make the payments required by the Loan Documents. No failure by Lender to perform any of its obligations hereunder shall be a valid defense to, or result in any offset against, any payments which Borrower is obligated to make under any of the Loan Documents. Without limiting any of the other provisions contained herein, Borrower hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by applicable law, any rights it may have to claim or recover against Lender in any legal action or proceeding any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages. 
Section 10.18      Conflict; Construction of Documents; Reliance . In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Agreement shall control. The parties hereto acknowledge that they were represented by competent counsel in connection with the negotiation, drafting and execution of the Loan Documents and that such Loan Documents shall not be subject to the principle of construing their meaning against the party which drafted same. Borrower acknowledges that, with respect to the Loan, Borrower shall rely solely on its own judgment and advisors in entering into the Loan, without relying in any manner on any statements, representations or recommendations of Lender or any parent, subsidiary or affiliate of Lender. Lender shall not be subject to any limitation whatsoever in the exercise of any rights or remedies available to it under any of the Loan Documents or any other agreements or instruments which govern the Loan by virtue of the ownership by it or any parent, subsidiary or affiliate of Lender of any equity interest any of them may acquire in Borrower, and Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to raise

118



any defense or take any action on the basis of the foregoing with respect to Lender’s exercise of any such rights or remedies. Borrower acknowledges that Lender engages in the business of real estate financings and other real estate transactions and investments which may be viewed as adverse to or competitive with the business of Borrower or its Affiliates.
Section 10.19      Brokers and Financial Advisors .
(a)      Borrower hereby represents that, except for Eastdil Secured (“ Broker ”), it has dealt with no financial advisors, brokers, underwriters, placement agents, agents or finders in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, losses, costs and expenses of any kind (including Lender’s attorneys’ fees and expenses) in any way relating to or arising out of a claim by any Person (including Broker) that such Person acted on behalf of Borrower or Lender in connection with the transactions contemplated herein. The provisions of this Section 10.19 shall survive the expiration and termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Obligations.
Section 10.20      Exculpation . Subject to the qualifications below, Lender shall not enforce the liability and obligation of Borrower to perform and observe the Obligations contained in the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage or the other Loan Documents by any action or proceeding wherein a money judgment shall be sought against Borrower, except that Lender may bring a foreclosure action, an action for specific performance or any other appropriate action or proceeding to enable Lender to enforce and realize upon its interest under the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, or in all or any of the Property, the Gross Revenue or any other collateral given to Lender 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 Gross Revenue and in any other collateral given to Lender, and Lender, by accepting the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, shall not sue for, seek or demand any deficiency judgment against Borrower in any such action or proceeding under or by reason of or under or in connection with the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage or the other Loan Documents. The provisions of this Section 10.20 shall not, however, (a) constitute a waiver, release or impairment of any obligation evidenced or secured by any of the Loan Documents; (b) impair the right of Lender to name Borrower as a party defendant in any action or suit for foreclosure and sale under the Mortgage; (c) affect the validity or enforceability of any of the Loan Documents or any guaranty made in connection with the Loan or any of the rights and remedies of Lender thereunder; (d) impair the right of Lender to obtain the appointment of a receiver; (e) impair the enforcement of the Assignment of Leases; (f) impair the enforcement of the Environmental Indemnity; (g) constitute a prohibition against Lender to seek a deficiency judgment against Borrower (or any Individual Borrower) in order to fully realize the security granted by the Mortgage or to commence any other appropriate action or proceeding in order for Lender to exercise its remedies against all or any of the Property; or (h) constitute a waiver of the right of Lender to enforce the liability and obligation of Borrower, by money judgment or otherwise, to the extent of any actual loss, damage, cost, diminution in value, expense, liability, claim or other obligation incurred by Lender (including attorneys’ fees and costs reasonably incurred, but specifically excluding any special, exemplary, punitive, treble or consequential damages except to the extent the same are actually incurred by Lender to a third

Section 10.21      Prior Agreements . This Agreement and the other Loan Documents contain the entire agreement of the parties hereto and thereto and their respective affiliates in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and all prior agreements among or between such parties, whether oral or written, including the Summary of Terms and Conditions dated June 16, 2016 from Deutsche Bank and accepted by Borrower, are superseded by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. In addition, Borrower hereby agrees that it is not relying on and has not relied on any representations, warranties or statements, whether written or oral, of Lender, any Affiliate of Lender or any other party in connection with its decision to enter into the transaction described in this Agreement and the related Loan Documents and that this Agreement and the related Loan Documents set forth the entire set of representations, warranties and understandings of Borrower with respect to the transaction described herein and in the Loan Documents
Section 10.22      Servicer .
(a)      At the option of Lender, the Loan may be serviced by a servicer or special servicer (the “ Servicer ”) selected by Lender and Lender may delegate all or any portion of its responsibilities under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to the Servicer pursuant to a servicing agreement (the “ Servicing Agreement ”) between Lender and Servicer. Borrower shall not be responsible for any set-up fees or any other initial costs relating to or arising under the Servicing Agreement. Borrower shall be responsible for payment of usual and customary fees and expenses of Servicer under the Servicing Agreement (excluding any set up fees or annual master servicing fees under the Servicing Agreement).

122



percent (0.5%) of liquidation proceeds), (v) attorneys fees and expenses and (vi) other fees and expenses in connection with the modification or restructuring of the Loan.
Section 10.23      Joint and Several Liability . If more than one Person has executed this Agreement as “ Borrower ,” the representations, covenants, warranties and obligations of all such Persons hereunder shall be joint and several. The parties hereto acknowledge that the defined term “ Borrower ” has been defined to collectively include each Individual Borrower. It is the intent of the parties hereto in determining whether (a) a breach of a representation or a covenant has occurred, (b) there has occurred a Default or Event of Default, or (c) an event has occurred which would create recourse obligations under Section 10.20 of this Agreement, that any such breach, occurrence or event with respect to any Individual Borrower shall be deemed to be such a breach, occurrence or event with respect to the other Individual Borrower and that both Individual Borrowers need not have been involved with such breach, occurrence or event in order for the same to be deemed such a breach, occurrence or event with respect to every Individual Borrower.
Section 10.24      Creation of Security Interest . Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement, the Note, the Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents, Lender may at any time create a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement, the Note, the Mortgage and any other Loan Document (including the advances owing to it) in favor of any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.
Section 10.25      Special Taxes . Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings, fees or assessments, and all interest, additions to tax, penalties or liabilities with respect thereto (“ Special Taxes ”), except as required by applicable Legal Requirements. If Borrower shall be required by Legal Requirements to deduct or withhold any such Special Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable or withheld hereunder to Lender, the following shall apply: (i) if such Special Tax is an Indemnified Tax, the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions or withholdings (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 10.25 ), Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made, (ii) Borrower shall make such deductions or withholdings and (iii) Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements (taking into account any extensions of time for filing made in compliance with applicable Legal Requirements). In addition, Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements any Other Taxes. Borrower shall indemnify the relevant Co-Lender, within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 10.25 ) payable or paid by such Co-Lender or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Co-Lender and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Borrower by the relevant Co-Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error. As soon as practicable after payment of any Indemnified Taxes by Borrower to a Governmental

123



Authority pursuant to this Section 10.25 , Borrower shall deliver evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the relevant Co-Lender. Any Co-Lender that is entitled to an exemption from, or reduction of, withholding Special Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to Borrower, at the time or times reasonably requested by Borrower, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by Borrower as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Co-Lender, if reasonably requested by Borrower, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Legal Requirements or reasonably requested by Borrower as will enable Borrower to determine whether or not such Co-Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. If a Co-Lender, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, determines that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes, it shall pay to Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made or additional amounts paid under this Section with respect to the Special Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Special Taxes) of such Co-Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Borrower, upon the request of such Co-Lender, shall repay to such Co-Lender the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 10.25 (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such Co-Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10.25 , in no event will a Co-Lender be required to pay any amount to Borrower pursuant to this Section 10.25 the payment of which would place such Co-Lender in a less favorable net after-Special Tax position than such Co-Lender would have been in if the Special Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Special Tax had never been paid. This Section 10.25 shall not be construed to require any Co-Lender to make available its Special Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Special Taxes that it deems confidential) to Borrower or any other Person.
Section 10.26      Assignments and Participations .
(a)      In addition to any other rights of Lender hereunder, the Loan, the Note, the Loan Documents and/or Lender’s rights, title, obligations and interests therein may be sold, assigned, participated or otherwise transferred by Lender and any of its successors and assigns to any Person at any time in its sole and absolute discretion, in whole or in part, whether by operation of Legal Requirements (pursuant to a merger or other successor in interest) or otherwise without notice to or consent from Borrower or any other Person. Upon such assignment, all references to Lender in this Agreement and in any Loan Document (or to an individual assigning Co-Lender in the event an individual Co-Lender makes such assignment rather than an assignment in whole by Lender) shall be deemed to refer to such assignee or successor in interest and such assignee or successor in interest shall thereafter stand in the place of Lender (or in the case of an individual assigning Co-Lender in the event an individual Co-Lender makes such assignment rather than an assignment in whole by Lender, such assignee of or successor in interest to such Co-Lender) in all respects. Except as expressly permitted herein, Borrower may not assign its rights, title, interests or obligations under this Agreement or under any of the Loan Documents.

124



(b)      Each Co-Lender (or such Co-Lender’s designee, which may include any Servicer or Borrower) as non-fiduciary agent of Borrower, shall maintain a record within the meaning of U.S. Treasury Regulation 5f.103-1(c) that identifies each owner of an interest in the portion of the Loan held by such Co-Lender, including the name and address of the owner, and each owner’s rights to principal and stated interest (the “ Register ”) and shall record all transfers of such interest in the Loan, in such Register.  The entries in the Register shall, with respect to such Co-Lender, transferees and Borrower, be conclusive absent manifest error. The parties intend for the Loan to be in registered form for tax purposes, including for purposes of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Code. Upon request of Borrower and reasonable prior notice, each Co-Lender shall provide to Borrower any information reasonably requested by Borrower that is recorded on such Co-Lender’s Register.
Section 10.27      Acknowledgment and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions.
(a)      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among the respective parties thereto, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:
(i)      the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an EEA Financial Institution; and
(ii)      the effects of any Bail-in Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:
(A)      a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;
(B)      a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or
(C)      the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.

Section 10.32      Contributions and Waivers.
(a)      As a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, each Individual Borrower will benefit, directly and indirectly, from the making of the Loan and, in consideration therefor, each Individual Borrower agrees to pay the Debt and perform the Other Obligations. Each Individual Borrower desires to enter into an allocation and contribution agreement among themselves as set forth in this Section to allocate such benefits among themselves and to provide a fair and equitable agreement to make contributions among each of the Borrowers in the event any payment is made by any Individual Borrower hereunder to Lender (such payment being referred to in this Section 10.32 as a “ Contribution ” and, for purposes of this Section, includes any exercise of recourse by Lender against any property of an Individual Borrower and application of proceeds of such property in satisfaction of such Individual Borrower’s obligations, to Lender under the Loan Documents).
(b)      In order to provide for a fair and equitable contribution among the Borrowers in the event that any Contribution is made by an Individual Borrower (a “ Funding Borrower ”), such Funding Borrower shall be entitled to a reimbursement contribution (“ Reimbursement Contribution ”) from all other Borrowers with respect to all Contributions made by such Funding Borrower, such that if any Funding Borrower’s Aggregate Payments on any date of determination exceed such Funding Borrower’s Fair Share as of such date, such Funding Borrower shall be entitled to Reimbursement Contributions from all the other Borrowers in an amount sufficient to cause each Funding Borrower’s Aggregate Payments to equal its Fair Share as of such date.
(c)      For purposes hereof, “ Fair Share ” means, with respect to a Funding Borrower as of any date of determination, an amount equal to (a) the ratio of (i) the Reimbursement Contribution Amount with respect to such Funding Borrower to (ii) the aggregate of the Reimbursement Contribution Amounts with respect to all Funding Borrowers multiplied by (b) the aggregate Contributions on or before such date by all Funding Borrowers. “ Reimbursement Contribution Amount ” means, with respect to a Funding Borrower as of any date of determination, the maximum aggregate amount of Contributions of such Funding Borrower that would not render its obligations to pay and perform the Obligations subject to

127



avoidance as a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or any comparable applicable provisions of state law; provided, solely for purposes of calculating the “ Reimbursement Contribution Amount ” with respect to any Funding Borrower for purposes of this Section 10.32 , any assets or liabilities of such Funding Borrower arising by virtue of any rights to subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification or any rights to or obligations of contribution hereunder shall not be considered as assets or liabilities of such Funding Borrower. “ Aggregate Payments ” means, with respect to a Funding Borrower as of any date of determination, an amount equal to (1) the aggregate amount of all Contributions made on or before such date by such Funding Borrower, minus (2) the aggregate amount of all payments received on or before such date by such Funding Borrower from the other Funding Borrowers as Reimbursement Contributions under this Section 10.32 . The amounts payable as Reimbursement Contributions hereunder shall be determined as of the date on which the related Contribution is made by the applicable Funding Borrower.
(d)      Each Individual Borrower acknowledges that the right to Reimbursement Contribution hereunder shall constitute an asset in favor of such Individual Borrower to which such Reimbursement Contribution is owing, subject, however, to the proviso in clause (c) above.
(e)      Until the date that is one (1) year and one (1) day after the date that the Debt has been paid and satisfied in full, no Individual Borrower shall (i) assert, collect, sue upon, or enforce all or any part of its right to any Reimbursement Contribution under this Section 10.32 ; (b) commence or join with any other creditors of any Individual Borrower in commencing any bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership or insolvency proceeding against any other Individual Borrower; (c) take, accept, ask for, sue for, receive, set off or demand any payments upon any Reimbursement Contribution; or (d) take, accept, ask for, sue for, receive, demand or allow to be created liens, security interests, mortgages, or pledges of or with respect to any of the assets of any Individual Borrower in favor of or for the benefit of any other Individual Borrower. Nothing contained in this Section shall limit or affect in any way the Obligations of any Individual Borrower to Lender under the Loan Documents.
(f)      To the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, each Individual Borrower waives:
(i)      any right to require Lender to proceed against any other Individual Borrower or any other Person or to proceed against or exhaust any security held by Lender and granted by the other Individual Borrower or any other Person at any time or to pursue any other remedy in Lender’s power before proceeding against such Individual Borrower;
(ii)      any defense based upon any legal disability or other defense of any other Individual Borrower, any guarantor or any other Person or by reason of the cessation or limitation of the liability of any other Individual Borrower, any guarantor or any other Person from any cause other than full payment of all sums payable under the Loan Documents;
(iii)      any defense based upon any lack of authority of the officers, directors, partners or agents acting or purporting to act on behalf of any other Individual Borrower or any principal of any other Individual Borrower or any defect in the formation of any other Borrower or any principal of any other Individual Borrower;

128



(iv)      solely in its capacity, if any, as a surety of the payment and performance by the other Individual Borrower of the Obligations, any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in any other respects more burdensome than that of a principal;
(v)      any defense based upon any failure by Lender to obtain collateral from the other Individual Borrower for the indebtedness or failure by Lender to perfect a lien on any collateral owned by the other Individual Borrower;
(vi)      solely in its capacity, if any, as a surety of the payment and performance by the other Individual Borrower of the Obligations, presentment, demand, protest and notice of any kind, except, in each case, as is expressly required by the Loan Documents;
(vii)      any defense based upon any failure of Lender to give notice of sale or other disposition of any collateral to any other Individual Borrower or to any other Person or any defect in any notice that may be given in connection with any sale or disposition of any collateral;
(viii)      any defense based upon any failure of Lender to comply with Legal Requirements in connection with the sale or other disposition of any collateral of the other Individual Borrower, including any failure of Lender to conduct a commercially reasonable sale or other disposition of any collateral of the other Individual Borrower;
(ix)      any defense based upon any use of cash collateral under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code;
(x)      any defense based upon any agreement or stipulation entered into by Lender with respect to the provision of adequate protection in any bankruptcy proceeding;
(xi)      any defense based upon any borrowing or any grant of a security interest under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code;
(xii)      any defense based upon the avoidance of any security interest in favor of Lender for any reason;
(xiii)      any defense based upon any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment of debt, liquidation or dissolution proceeding, including any discharge of, or bar or stay against collecting, all or any of the obligations evidenced by the Note or owing under any of the Loan Documents;
(xiv)      any defense or benefit based upon such Individual Borrower’s, or any other party’s, designation of the portion of any obligation secured by the Mortgage to be satisfied by any payment from any other Individual Borrower or any such party;
(xv)      all rights and defenses based upon any elimination of such Individual Borrower’s rights of subrogation and reimbursement against any other

129



Individual Borrower as a result of an election of remedies by Lender or other actions of Lender; and
(xvi)      solely in its capacity, if any, as a surety of the payment and performance by the other Individual Borrower of the Obligations, all rights and defenses that such Individual Borrower may have because any of the Debt is secured by real property. This means, among other things (subject to the other terms and conditions of the Loan Documents): (A) Lender may collect from such Individual Borrower without first foreclosing on any real or personal property collateral pledged by any other Individual Borrower, and (B) if Lender forecloses on any real property collateral pledged by any other Borrower, (1) the amount of the Debt may be reduced only by the price for which that collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the collateral is worth more than the sale price and (2) Lender may collect from such Individual Borrower even if any other Individual Borrower, by foreclosing on the real property collateral, has destroyed any right such Individual Borrower may have to collect from any other Individual Borrower. This is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses such Individual Borrower may have because any of the Debt is secured by real property; and except as may be expressly and specifically permitted herein, any claim or other right which such Individual Borrower might now have or hereafter acquire against any other Individual Borrower or any other Person that arises from the existence or performance of any obligations under the Loan Documents, including any of the following: (i) any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, or indemnification; or (ii) any right to participate in any claim or remedy of Lender against any other Individual Borrower or any collateral security therefor, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law.
(g)      Each Individual Borrower hereby restates and makes the waivers made by Guarantor in the Guaranty for the benefit of Lender. Such waivers are hereby incorporated by reference as if fully set forth herein (and as if applicable to each Individual Borrower) and shall be effective for all purposes under the Loan (including, without limitation, in the event that any Individual Borrower is deemed to be a surety or guarantor of the Debt (by virtue of each Individual Borrower being co-obligors and jointly and severally liable hereunder, by virtue of each Individual Borrower encumbering its interest in the Property for the benefit or debts of the other Individual Borrower in connection herewith or otherwise)).
Section 10.33      Co-Lenders.
(a)      Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that notwithstanding the fact that the Loan may be serviced by Servicer, prior to a Securitization of the entire Loan, all requests for approval and consents hereunder and in every instance in which Lender’s consent or approval is required, each of Borrower and Guarantor shall be required to obtain the consent and approval of each Co-Lender and all copies of documents, reports, requests and other delivery obligations of Borrower and Guarantor required hereunder shall be delivered by Borrower and Guarantor to each Co‑Lender; provided, however, prior to a Securitization of the Loan, Borrower shall be entitled to rely on communications or acts of the Servicer appointed by the Co-Lenders with respect to any rights, waivers or approvals by Lender required or permitted by Lender pursuant to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or by applicable Legal Requirements.

130



(b)      Each Co-Lender agrees that, prior to the Securitization of the entire Loan, (i) any Letter of Credit delivered to Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall name Deutsche Bank as the sole beneficiary thereunder for the benefit of the Co-Lenders, and (ii) each Co-Lender authorizes Deutsche Bank to, and Deutsche Bank hereby agrees to, act as its agent with regard to the servicing and administration of all such Letters of Credit, and in the event Deutsche Bank draws upon any such Letter of Credit, each Co-Lender authorizes Deutsche Bank to, and Deutsche Bank hereby agrees to, deposit the proceeds into the Deposit Account (or into one or more of the Accounts) in the manner set forth herein. Upon the Securitization of the entire Loan, each Co-Lender authorizes Deutsche Bank to, and Deutsche Bank hereby agrees to, assign to the Trustee all of Deutsche Bank’s right, title and interest in and to each Letter of Credit issued in accordance with the terms of this Agreement that is then in Deutsche Bank’s possession, whereupon, without any further action by any of the Co-Lenders, Deutsche Bank shall be released from any and all liability relating in any way to such Letter(s) of Credit.
(c)      (i) The liabilities of Lender shall be several and not joint, (ii) no Co-Lender shall be responsible for the obligations of any other Co-Lender, and (iii) each Co-Lender shall be liable to Borrower only for its respective Ratable Share of the Loan. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, all indemnities by Borrower and obligations for costs, expenses, damages or advances set forth herein shall run to and benefit each Co-Lender in accordance with its Ratable Share.
(d)      Each Co-Lender agrees that it has, independently and without reliance on any other Co-Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis of Borrower, Guarantor and their respective Affiliates and decision to enter into this Agreement and that it will, independently and without reliance upon any other Co-Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own analysis and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document.
(e)      With respect to the enforcement of the rights and remedies of Lender under the Loan Documents upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, if at such time there are multiple Co-Lenders holding the Loan, then either:
(i)      the Co-Lenders shall exercise such rights and remedies jointly together, or
(ii)      the Co-Lenders shall designate from time to time, such designations to be made from time to time in the Co-Lenders’ sole and absolute discretion, one or more servicers or agents (which may be a Co-Lender, applicable servicer or other agent designated by Lender) that shall exercise such rights and remedies under the Loan Documents on behalf of Lender (and all Co-Lenders) such that, with respect to any exercise of applicable rights and remedies at any given time, there shall be a single servicer or agent exercising such rights and remedies as or on behalf of Lender notwithstanding that there may be multiple Co-Lenders holding the Loan.

(c) Such Individual Borrower has not and will not enter into any contract or agreement with any Affiliate of such Individual Borrower, except in the ordinary course of business and upon terms and conditions that are intrinsically fair, commercially reasonable, and substantially similar to those that would be available on an arms-length basis with third parties other than any such party, provided that this provision shall not be applicable to agreements between the two Individual Borrowers relating to the Property.
(d) Such Individual Borrower has not incurred and will not incur any Indebtedness other than Permitted Indebtedness and the Prior Loan.

(r) The organizational documents of such Individual Borrower shall provide that, as long as any portion of the Obligations remains outstanding, upon the occurrence of any event that causes Sole Member to cease to be a member of such Individual Borrower (other than (i) upon an assignment by Sole Member of all of its limited liability company interest in such Individual Borrower and the admission of the transferee, if permitted pursuant to the organizational documents of such Individual Borrower and the Loan Documents, or (ii) the resignation of Sole Member and the admission of an additional member of such Individual Borrower, if permitted pursuant to the organizational documents of such Individual Borrower and the Loan Documents), each of the persons acting as an Independent Director or Independent Manager (as applicable) of such Individual Borrower shall, without any action of any Person and simultaneously with Sole Member ceasing to be a member of such Individual Borrower, automatically be admitted as members of such Individual Borrower (in each case, individually, a “ Special Member ” and collectively, the “ Special Members ”) and shall preserve and continue the existence of such Individual Borrower without dissolution. The organizational documents of such Individual Borrower shall further provide that for so long as any portion of the Obligations is outstanding, no Special Member may resign or transfer its rights as Special Member unless (i) a successor Special Member has been admitted to such Individual Borrower as a Special Member, and (ii) such successor Special Member has also accepted its appointment as an Independent Director or Independent Manager (as applicable).

WHEREAS, by a lease agreement (the “ Lease ”) dated ___________, _____, between Landlord (or Landlord's predecessor in title) and Tenant, Landlord leased to Tenant a portion of the Property, as said portion is more particularly described in the Lease (such portion of the Property hereinafter referred to as the “ Premises ”);



WHEREAS, Tenant acknowledges that Lender will rely on this Agreement in making the Loan to Landlord; and
WHEREAS, Lender and Tenant desire to evidence their understanding with respect to the Mortgage and the Lease as hereinafter provided.
NOW , THEREFORE , in consideration of the mutual agreements hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
1. Tenant covenants, stipulates and agrees that the Lease and all of Tenant's right, title and interest in and to the Property thereunder (including but not limited to any option to purchase, right of first refusal to purchase or right of first offer to purchase the Property (or any portion thereof)) is hereby, and shall at all times continue to be, subordinated and made secondary and inferior in each and every respect to the Mortgage and the lien thereof, to all of the terms, conditions and provisions thereof and to any and all advances made or to be made thereunder, so that at all times the Mortgage shall be and remain a lien on the Property prior to and superior to the Lease for all purposes, subject to the provisions set forth herein. Subordination is to have the same force and effect as if the Mortgage and such renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions had been executed, acknowledged, delivered and recorded prior to the Lease, any amendments or modifications thereof and any notice thereof. Tenant hereby acknowledges and agrees that any option to purchase, right of first refusal to purchase or right of first offer to purchase the Property (or any portion thereof) in the Lease, shall not be exercisable in connection with any exercise of remedies pursuant to the Mortgage or any mezzanine loan secured by the membership interests in Landlord, including: (i) a purchase of the Property (or any portion thereof) at a foreclosure sale, (ii) a transfer of the Property (or any portion thereof) to Lender or its designee pursuant to a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, (iii) a transfer of the membership interests in Landlord pursuant to a foreclosure of any such mezzanine loan, or (iv) any subsequent sale of the Property (or any portion thereof) by Lender or its designee after such foreclosure or deed-in-lieu of foreclosure or by any mezzanine lender or its designee after such foreclosure of such mezzanine loan. The holder of any such mezzanine loan shall be a third party beneficiary of the foregoing sentence.
2.      Lender agrees that if Lender exercises any of its rights under the Mortgage, including entry or foreclosure of the Mortgage or exercise of a power of sale under the Mortgage, Lender will not disturb Tenant's right to use, occupy and possess the Premises under the terms of the Lease so long as Tenant is not in default beyond any applicable grace period under any term, covenant or condition of the Lease.
3.      If, at any time Lender (or any person, or such person's successors or assigns, who acquires the interest of Landlord under the Lease through foreclosure of the Mortgage or otherwise) shall succeed to the rights of Landlord under the Lease as a result of a default or event of default under the Mortgage, Tenant shall attorn to and recognize such person so succeeding to the rights of Landlord under the Lease (herein sometimes called “ Successor Landlord ”) as Tenant's landlord under the Lease, said attornment to be effective and self-operative without the execution of any further instruments. Although said attornment shall be self-operative, Tenant agrees to execute and deliver to Lender or to any Successor Landlord,

- 2 -


such other instrument or instruments as Lender or such other person shall from time to time request in order to confirm said attornment.
4.      Landlord authorizes and directs Tenant to honor any written demand or notice from Lender instructing Tenant to pay rent or other sums to Lender rather than Landlord (a “ Payment Demand ”), regardless of any other or contrary notice or instruction which Tenant may receive from Landlord before or after Tenant's receipt of such Payment Demand. Tenant may rely upon any notice, instruction, Payment Demand, certificate, consent or other document from, and signed by, Lender and shall have no duty to Landlord to investigate the same or the circumstances under which the same was given. Any payment made by Tenant to Lender or in response to a Payment Demand shall be deemed proper payment by Tenant of such sum pursuant to the Lease.
5.      If Lender shall become the owner of the Property or the Property shall be sold by reason of foreclosure or other proceedings brought to enforce the Mortgage or if the Property shall be transferred by deed in lieu of foreclosure, Lender or any Successor Landlord shall not be:
(a)      liable for any act or omission of any prior landlord (including Landlord) or bound by any obligation to make any payment to Tenant which was required to be made prior to the time Lender succeeded to any prior landlord (including Landlord); or
(b)      obligated to cure any defaults of any prior landlord (including Landlord) which occurred, or to make any payment to Tenant which was required to be paid by any prior landlord (including Landlord), prior to the time that Lender or any Successor Landlord succeeded to the interest of such landlord under the Lease; or
(c)      obligated to perform any construction obligations of any prior landlord (including Landlord) under the Lease or liable for any defects (latent, patent or otherwise) in the design, workmanship, materials, construction or otherwise with respect to improvements and buildings constructed on the Property; or
(d)      subject to any offsets, defenses or counterclaims which Tenant may be entitled to assert against any prior landlord (including Landlord); or
(e)      bound by any payment of rent or additional rent by Tenant to any prior landlord (including Landlord) for more than one month in advance; or
(f)      bound by any amendment, modification, termination or surrender of the Lease made without the written consent of Lender; or
(g)      liable or responsible for or with respect to the retention, application and/or return to Tenant of any security deposit paid to any prior landlord (including Landlord), whether or not still held by such prior landlord, unless and until Lender or any Successor Landlord has actually received said deposit for its own account as the landlord under the Lease as security for the performance of Tenant's obligation under the Lease (which deposit shall, nonetheless, be held subject to the provisions of the Lease).

- 3 -


6.      Tenant hereby represents, warrants, covenants and agrees to and with Lender:
(a)      to deliver to Lender, by certified mail, return receipt requested, a duplicate of each notice of default delivered by Tenant to Landlord at the same time as such notice is given to Landlord and no such notice of default shall be deemed given by Tenant under the Lease unless and until a copy of such notice shall have been so delivered to Lender. Lender shall have the right (but shall not be obligated) to cure such default. Tenant shall accept performance by Lender of any term, covenant, condition or agreement to be performed by Landlord under the Lease with the same force and effect as though performed by Landlord. Tenant further agrees to afford Lender a period of thirty (30) days beyond any period afforded to Landlord for the curing of such default during which period Lender may elect (but shall not be obligated) to seek to cure such default, or, if such default cannot be cured within that time, then such additional time as may be necessary to cure such default (including but not limited to commencement of foreclosure proceedings) during which period Lender may elect (but shall not be obligated) to seek to cure such default, prior to taking any action to terminate the Lease. If the Lease shall terminate for any reason, upon Lender's written request given within thirty (30) days after such termination, Tenant, within fifteen (15) days after such request, shall execute and deliver to Lender a new lease of the Premises for the remainder of the term of the Lease and upon all of the same terms, covenants and conditions of the Lease;
(b)      that Tenant is the sole owner of the leasehold estate created by the Lease; and
(c)      to promptly certify in writing to Lender, in connection with any proposed assignment of the Mortgage, whether or not any default on the part of Landlord then exists under the Lease and to deliver to Lender any tenant estoppel certificates required under the Lease.
7.      Tenant acknowledges that the interest of Landlord under the Lease is assigned to Lender solely as security for the Promissory Note, and Lender shall have no duty, liability or obligation under the Lease or any extension or renewal thereof, unless Lender shall specifically undertake such liability in writing or Lender becomes and then only with respect to periods in which Lender becomes, the fee owner of the Property.
8.      This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State in which the Premises is located (excluding the choice of law rules thereof).
9.      This Agreement and each and every covenant, agreement and other provisions hereof shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns (including, without limitation, any successor holder of the Promissory Note) and may be amended, supplemented, waived or modified only by an instrument in writing executed by the party against which enforcement of the termination, amendment, supplement, waiver or modification is sought.

- 4 -


10.      All notices to be given under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed served upon receipt by the addressee if served personally or, if mailed, upon the first to occur of receipt or the refusal of delivery as shown on a return receipt, after deposit in the United States Postal Service certified mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the address of Landlord, Tenant or Lender appearing below. Such addresses may be changed by notice given in the same manner. If any party consists of multiple individuals or entities, then notice to any one of same shall be deemed notice to such party.

13.      If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall be deemed modified to the extent necessary to be enforceable, or if such modification is not practicable, such provision shall be deemed deleted from this Agreement, and the other provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, and shall be liberally construed in favor of Lender.
14.      This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

ALTERATION DEFICIENCY GUARANTY
This ALTERATION DEFICIENCY GUARANTY (this “ Guaranty ”) is executed as of [_____________________], 20[__] by [_______________________] , a [____________], having an address at [_________________________] (“ Guarantor ”), for the benefit of DEUTSCHE BANK AG, NEW YORK BRANCH , a branch of Deutsche Bank AG, a German Bank, authorized by the New York Department of Financial Services (together with its successors and assigned, “ DB ”), having an address at 60 Wall Street, 10th Floor, New York, New York 10005 and BARCLAYS BANK PLC , a public limited company registered in England and Wales (together with its successors and assigns, “ Barclays ” and together with DB, collectively, “ Lender ”), having an address at 745 Seventh Avenue, New York, New York 10019.
W I T N E S S E T H:
A.    Pursuant to those certain promissory notes executed by Maguire Properties–555 W. Fifth, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and by Maguire Properties – 350 S. Figueroa, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (collectively, “ Borrower ”), and payable to the order of Lender in the aggregate original principal amount of Three Hundred Nineteen Million and No/100 Dollars ($319,000,000) (collectively, with all renewals, modifications, increases and extensions thereof, the “ Note ”), Borrower has become indebted, and may from time to time be further indebted, to Lender with respect to a loan (the “ Loan ”) which is made pursuant to that certain Loan Agreement, dated as of July 11, 2016, between Borrower and Lender (as the same may be amended, modified, supplemented, replaced or otherwise modified from time to time, the “ Loan Agreement ”). Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Loan Agreement.
    B.    Guarantor is the owner of direct or indirect interests in Borrower, and Guarantor has benefitted from Lender’s making the Loan to Borrower.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of Lender having made the Loan to Borrower and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and legal sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties do hereby agree as follows:
ARTICLE 1
NATURE AND SCOPE OF GUARANTY
Section 1.1      Guaranty of Obligation.
(a)      Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees to Lender and its successors and assigns the payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations as and when the same shall be due and payable, whether by lapse of time, by acceleration of maturity or otherwise. Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally covenants and agrees that it is liable for the Guaranteed Obligations as a primary obligor.



(b)      As used herein, the term “ Guaranteed Obligations ” means the timely payment of all costs in respect of the Project(s) (as defined below) in excess of the Alteration Threshold (as defined in the Loan Agreement) with respect to the Project(s) from time to time.
(c)      Attached hereto as Annex A is a description of the Material Alteration(s) that are the subject of this Guaranty (subject to Section 1.1(d), each a “ Project ” and collectively, the “ Projects ”).
(d)      The Material Alteration(s) comprising the Project, and accordingly, the term “Project” as used herein, shall be deemed modified hereunder to the extent that Borrower modifies such Material Alteration(s) (including any increase or decrease in the scope thereof) in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement.
Section 1.2      Nature of Guaranty . This Guaranty is an irrevocable, absolute, continuing guaranty of payment and performance and not a guaranty of collection. This Guaranty may not be revoked by Guarantor and shall continue to be effective with respect to any Guaranteed Obligations arising or created after any attempted revocation by Guarantor and after (if Guarantor is a natural person) Guarantor’s death (in which event this Guaranty shall be binding upon Guarantor’s estate and Guarantor’s legal representatives and heirs). The fact that at any time or from time to time the Guaranteed Obligations may be increased or reduced shall not release or discharge the obligation of Guarantor to Lender with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations. This Guaranty may be enforced by Lender and any subsequent holder of the Note and shall not be discharged by the assignment or negotiation of all or part of the Note.
Section 1.3      Guaranteed Obligations Not Reduced by Offset . The Guaranteed Obligations and the liabilities and obligations of Guarantor to Lender hereunder shall not be reduced, discharged or released because or by reason of any existing or future offset, claim or defense of Borrower or any other party against Lender or against payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether such offset, claim or defense arises in connection with the Guaranteed Obligations (or the transactions creating the Guaranteed Obligations) or otherwise.
Section 1.4      Payment By Guarantor . If all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations shall not be punctually paid when due, whether at demand, maturity, acceleration or otherwise, Guarantor shall, immediately upon written demand therefor by Lender and without presentment, protest, notice of protest, notice of non-payment, notice of intention to accelerate the maturity, notice of acceleration of the maturity or any other notice whatsoever, all such notices being hereby waived by Guarantor, pay in lawful money of the United States of America, the amount due on the Guaranteed Obligations to Lender at Lender’s address as set forth herein. Such demand(s) may be made at any time coincident with or after the time for payment of all or part of the Guaranteed Obligations and may be made from time to time with respect to the same or different items of Guaranteed Obligations. Such demand shall be deemed made, given and received in accordance with the notice provisions hereof.
Section 1.5      No Duty To Pursue Others . It shall not be necessary for Lender (and Guarantor hereby waives any rights which Guarantor may have to require Lender), in order to enforce the obligations of Guarantor hereunder, first to (i) institute suit or exhaust its remedies against Borrower or others liable on the Loan or the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Person,

2


(ii) enforce Lender’s rights against any collateral which shall ever have been given to secure the Loan, (iii) enforce Lender’s rights against any other guarantors of the Guaranteed Obligations, (iv) join Borrower or any others liable on the Guaranteed Obligations in any action seeking to enforce this Guaranty, (v) exhaust any remedies available to Lender against any collateral which shall ever have been given to secure the Loan, or (vi) resort to any other means of obtaining payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, including, to the extent California law is deemed to apply notwithstanding the choice of law set forth herein, any of the foregoing which may be available to Lender by virtue of California Civil Code Sections 2845, 2849, and 2850. Lender shall not be required to mitigate damages or take any other action to reduce, collect or enforce the Guaranteed Obligations.
Section 1.6      Waivers . Guarantor agrees to the provisions of the Loan Documents and hereby waives notice of (i) any loans or advances made by Lender to Borrower, (ii) acceptance of this Guaranty, (iii) any amendment or extension of the Note, the Mortgage, the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document, (iv) the execution and delivery by Borrower and Lender of any other loan or credit agreement or of Borrower’s execution and delivery of any promissory note or other document arising under the Loan Documents or in connection with the Property, (v) the occurrence of (A) any breach by Borrower of any of the terms or conditions of the Loan Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or (B) an Event of Default, (vi) Lender’s transfer or disposition of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any part thereof, (vii) the sale or foreclosure (or the posting or advertising for the sale or foreclosure) of any collateral for the Guaranteed Obligations, (viii) protest, proof of non-payment or default by Borrower, or (ix) any other action at any time taken or omitted by Lender and, generally, all demands and notices of every kind in connection with this Guaranty, the Loan Documents, any documents or agreements evidencing, securing or relating to any of the Guaranteed Obligations and/or the obligations hereby guaranteed, other than such notices to Guarantor (if any) as may be expressly required pursuant to the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents.
Section 1.7      Payment of Expenses . In the event that Guarantor shall breach or fail to timely perform any provisions of this Guaranty, Guarantor shall, immediately upon written demand therefor by Lender, pay Lender all reasonable costs and expenses (including court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by Lender in the enforcement hereof or the preservation of Lender’s rights hereunder, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date requested by Lender until the date of payment to Lender. The covenant contained in this Section shall survive the payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations.
Section 1.8      Effect of Bankruptcy . In the event that pursuant to any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership or other debtor relief law or any judgment, order or decision thereunder, Lender must rescind or restore any payment or any part thereof received by Lender in satisfaction of the Guaranteed Obligations, as set forth herein, any prior release or discharge from the terms of this Guaranty given to Guarantor by Lender shall be without effect and this Guaranty shall remain (or shall be reinstated to be) in full force and effect. It is the intention of Borrower and Guarantor that Guarantor’s obligations hereunder shall not be discharged except by Guarantor’s performance of such obligations and then only to the extent of such performance.

The Guarantor Claims shall include, without limitation, all rights and claims of Guarantor against Borrower (arising as a result of subrogation or otherwise) as a result of Guarantor’s payment of all or a portion of the Guaranteed Obligations.

Guarantor hereby assigns such dividends and payments to Lender. Should Lender receive, for application against the Guaranteed Obligations, any dividend or payment which is otherwise payable to Guarantor and which, as between Borrower and Guarantor, shall constitute a credit against the Guarantor Claims, then, upon payment to Lender in full of the Obligations and the Guaranteed Obligations, Guarantor shall become subrogated to the rights of Lender to the extent that such payments to Lender on the Guarantor Claims have contributed toward the liquidation of the Guaranteed Obligations, and such subrogation shall be with respect to that proportion of the

Section 4.3      Payments Held in Trust . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Guaranty, in the event that Guarantor should receive any funds, payments, claims and/or distributions which are prohibited by this Guaranty, Guarantor agrees to hold in trust for Lender an amount equal to the amount of all funds, payments, claims and/or distributions so received, and agrees that it shall have absolutely no dominion over the amount of such funds, payments, claims and/or distributions so received except to pay such funds, payments, claims and/or distributions promptly to Lender, and Guarantor covenants promptly to pay the same to Lender.
Section 4.4      Liens Subordinate .

Without the prior written consent of Lender, Guarantor shall not (i) exercise or enforce any creditor’s rights it may have against Borrower, or (ii) foreclose, repossess, sequester or otherwise take steps or institute any action or proceedings (judicial or otherwise, including, without limitation, the commencement of, or the joinder in, any liquidation, bankruptcy, rearrangement, debtor’s relief or insolvency proceeding) to enforce any liens, mortgages, deeds of trust, security interests, collateral rights, judgments or other encumbrances on the assets of Borrower held by Guarantor.

agree to (or “click through”) such website’s confidentiality provisions, (C) as required by any applicable Legal Requirement, (D) which is already publicly available as a result of disclosure by any other party, (E) in response to any order of any court or other Governmental Authority, (F) in connection with the exercise and/or enforcement by Lender of any rights and remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or (G) if Lender is required to do so in connection with any litigation or similar proceeding (in which case, Lender shall exercise reasonable efforts to give prior written notice of such requirement to Guarantor in order to permit Guarantor to seek a protective order at Guarantor’s sole cost and expense).  As used herein, (i) “ Information ” means all non-public information relating to Guarantor or its business delivered by Guarantor to Lender in connection with the origination of the Loan or required to be delivered or provided under this Guaranty; provided, that in the case of information received from Guarantor after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential; (ii) “ Disclosure Parties ” shall mean any actual or prospective investor, any actual or prospective assignee, any actual or prospective participant in the Loan, any actual or prospective providers of financing directly or indirectly secured by, the Loan or any Securities or any direct or indirect class, component, portion or interest therein or thereof, any Rating Agency rating any participations in the Loan and/or Securities, any NRSRO, any underwriter, any organization maintaining databases on the underwriting and performance of commercial mortgage loans, auditors, regulatory authorities or any Persons that may be entitled by law to the Information, any Affiliate of a Lender involved from time to time in the transactions contemplated by this Guaranty, any other Loan Document and/or in any Securitization, any employees, directors, agents, attorneys, accountants, or other professional advisors of a Lender or its Affiliates, any servicers of the Loan, and/or any Governmental Authorities, in all cases, as Lender determines necessary or desires in its sole discretion; and (iii) “ NRSRO ” means any credit rating agency that has elected to be treated as a nationally recognized statistical rating organization for purposes of Section 15E of the Exchange Act, without regard to whether or not such credit rating agency has been engaged by Lender or its designees in connection with, or in anticipation of, a Securitization. In no event shall Lender (x) be responsible for monitoring or enforcing such use of the Information by any Disclosure Party or (y) be liable to Guarantor or any other Person for any acts or omissions by any Disclosure Party, including, without limitation, any failure of any such Disclosure Party to limit its use of the Information.
Section 6.18      Environmental Provisions . To the extent California law applies, nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the right of Lender to recover in accordance with California Code of Civil Procedure Section 736 (as such Section may be amended from time to time), any costs, expenses, liabilities or damages, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, incurred by Lender and arising from any covenant, obligation, liability, representation or warranty contained in any indemnity agreement given to Lender, or any order, consent decree or settlement relating to the cleanup of Hazardous Substances (as defined in the Environmental Indemnity) or any other “environmental provision” (as defined in such Section 736) relating to the Property or any portion thereof or the right of Lender to waive, in accordance with the California Code of Civil Procedure Section 726.5 (as such Section may be amended from time to time), the security of the Mortgage as to any parcel of the Property that is “environmentally impaired” or is an “affected parcel” (as such terms are defined in such Section 726.5), and as to any personal property attached to such parcel, and thereafter to exercise against Borrower, to the extent permitted by such Section 726.5, the rights and remedies of any unsecured creditor, including reduction of

15


Lender’s claim against Borrower to judgment, and any other rights and remedies permitted by law.
Section 6.19      Additional Guarantor Waivers . To the extent California law applies, Guarantor hereby waives all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by Lender even though that election of remedies, such as a nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to security for guaranteed obligations, has destroyed Guarantor’s rights of subrogation and reimbursement against the principal by the operation of Section 580d of the California Code of Civil Procedure or otherwise. Specifically, and without in any way limiting the foregoing, Guarantor hereby waives any rights of subrogation, indemnification, contribution or reimbursement arising under Sections 2846, 2847, 2848 and 2849 of the California Civil Code or any right of recourse to or with respect to Borrower or the assets or property of Borrower or to any collateral for the Loan. In connection with the foregoing, Guarantor expressly waives any and all rights of subrogation against Borrower, and Guarantor hereby waives any rights to enforce any remedy which Lender may have against Borrower and any right to participate in any collateral for the Loan. Guarantor recognizes that, pursuant to Section 580d of the California Code of Civil Procedure, Lender’s realization through nonjudicial foreclosure upon any real property constituting security for Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Documents could terminate any right of Lender to recover a deficiency judgment against Borrower, thereby terminating subrogation rights which Guarantor otherwise might have against Borrower. In the absence of an adequate waiver, such a termination of subrogation rights could create a defense to enforcement of this Guaranty against such parties. Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives any such defense. In addition to and without in any way limiting the foregoing, Guarantor hereby subordinates any and all indebtedness of Borrower now or hereafter owed to Guarantor to all the indebtedness of Borrower to Lender and agrees with Lender that until such time as Lender may have no further claim against Borrower, Guarantor shall not demand or accept any payment of principal or interest from Borrower, claim any offset or other reduction of Guarantor’s obligations hereunder because of any such indebtedness and shall not take any action to obtain any of the collateral for the Loan. Further, Guarantor shall not have any right of recourse against Lender by reason of any action Lender may take or omit to take under the provisions of this Guaranty or under the provisions of any of the Loan Documents. If any amount shall nevertheless be paid to Guarantor by Borrower or another guarantor prior to payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of Lender and shall forthwith be paid to Lender to be credited and applied to the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured. The provisions of this paragraph shall survive any satisfaction and discharge of Borrower by virtue of any payment, court order or any applicable law, except payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations. Without limiting the foregoing, Guarantor waives (i) all rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification, and contribution and any other rights and defenses that are or may become available to Guarantor by reason of California Civil Code Sections 2787 to 2855, inclusive; (ii) any rights or defenses Guarantor may have with respect to its obligations as a guarantor by reason of any election of remedies by Lender; and (iii) all rights and defenses that Guarantor may have because Borrower’s debt is secured by real property. This means, among other things, that Lender may collect from Guarantor without first foreclosing on any real or personal property collateral pledged by Borrower, and that if Lender forecloses on any real property collateral pledged by Borrower (A) the amount of the debt may be reduced only by the price for which that collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the collateral is worth more than the sale price, and (B) Lender may collect from Guarantor even if Lender, by foreclosing on

16


the real property collateral, has destroyed any rights Guarantor may have to collect from Borrower. This is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses Guarantor may have because Borrower’s debt evidenced by the Note is secured by real property. These rights and defenses include, but are not limited to, any rights or defenses based upon Section 580a, 580b, 580d or 726 of the California Code of Civil Procedure.
Section 6.20      Termination . This Guaranty shall terminate upon the earlier to occur of (i) the date that the Debt has been indefeasibly paid in full, and there has expired the maximum possible period thereafter during which any payment made by Borrower or others to Lender with respect to the Loan could be deemed a preference under the United States Bankruptcy Code or (ii) the date of the completion of the Project(s) in accordance with Annex A attached hereto and the Loan Agreement, and the Guaranteed Obligations hereunder with respect to the Project(s) have been indefeasibly paid in full, each as determined by Lender in its reasonable discretion.

Section 9.2      Remedies .
9.2.1      Acceleration . Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in clauses (vii), (viii) or (ix)  of Section 9.1 above) and at any time thereafter, Lender may, in addition to any other rights or remedies available to it pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or at law or in equity, take such action, without notice or demand (and Borrower hereby expressly waives any such notice or demand), that Lender deems advisable to protect and enforce its rights against Borrower and in and to the Collateral, including declaring the Obligations to be immediately due and payable, and Lender may enforce or avail itself of any or all rights or remedies provided in the Loan Documents against Borrower and the Collateral, including all rights or remedies available at law or in equity; and upon any Event of Default described in clauses (vii), (viii) or (ix)  of Section 9.1 above, the Obligations of Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall immediately and automatically become due and payable in full, without notice or demand, and Borrower hereby expressly waives any such notice or demand, anything contained herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding.
9.2.2      Remedies Cumulative . During the continuance of an Event of Default, all or any one or more of the rights, powers, privileges and other remedies available to Lender against Borrower under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents executed and delivered by, or applicable to, Borrower or at law or in equity may be exercised by Lender at any time and from time to time, whether or not all or any of the Obligations shall be declared due and payable, and whether or not Lender shall have commenced any foreclosure proceeding or other action for the enforcement of its rights and remedies under any of the Loan Documents with respect to the Collateral. The rights, powers and remedies of Lender under this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which Lender may have against Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or existing at law or in equity or otherwise. Lender’s rights, powers and remedies may be pursued independently, singly, successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in its sole discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender permitted by law or contract or as set forth herein or in

 
87
Mezzanine Loan Agreement

No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon 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.
9.2.3      Severance .
(a)      During the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right from time to time to partially foreclose the Pledge Agreement in any manner and for any amounts secured by the Pledge Agreement then due and payable as determined by Lender in its sole discretion, including the following circumstances: (i) in the event Borrower defaults beyond any applicable grace period in the payment of one or more scheduled payments of principal and/or interest, Lender may foreclose the Pledge Agreement to recover such delinquent payments, or (ii) in the event Lender elects to accelerate less than the entire Outstanding Principal Balance, Lender may foreclose the Pledge Agreement to recover so much of the principal balance of the Loan as Lender may accelerate and such other sums secured by the Pledge Agreement as Lender may elect. Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, the Collateral shall remain subject to the Pledge Agreement to secure payment of the sums secured by the Pledge Agreement and not previously recovered.
(b)      During the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right from time to time to sever the Note and the other Loan Documents into one or more separate notes, pledge agreements and other security documents in such denominations as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion for purposes of evidencing and enforcing its rights and remedies provided hereunder. Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender from time to time, promptly after the request of Lender, a severance agreement and such other documents as Lender shall request in order to effect the severance described in the preceding sentence, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender. Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints Lender as its true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in its name and stead to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect the aforesaid severance, Borrower ratifying all that its said attorney shall do by virtue thereof; provided, however, Lender shall not make or execute any such documents under such power until three (3) days after notice has been given to Borrower by Lender of Lender’s intent to exercise its rights under such power. Except as may be required pursuant to Section 8.4 hereof, (i) Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any costs or expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, execution, recording or filing of the severed Loan Documents, and (ii) the severed Loan Documents shall not contain any representations, warranties or covenants not contained in the Loan Documents.
(c)      During the continuance of an Event of Default, any amounts recovered from the Collateral or any other collateral for the Loan after an Event of Default may be applied by Lender toward the payment of any interest and/or principal of the Loan and/or any other

 
88
Mezzanine Loan Agreement


amounts due under the Loan Documents, in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall determine.
9.2.4      Lender’s Right to Perform . If Borrower fails to perform any covenant or obligation contained herein and such failure shall continue for a period of five (5) Business Days after Borrower’s receipt of written notice thereof from Lender, without in any way limiting Lender’s right to exercise any of its rights, powers or remedies as provided hereunder, or under any of the other Loan Documents, Lender may, but shall have no obligation to, perform, or cause the performance of, such covenant or obligation, and all costs, expenses, liabilities, penalties and fines of Lender incurred or paid in connection therewith shall be payable by Borrower to Lender upon demand and if not paid shall be added to the Obligations (and to the extent permitted under applicable laws, secured by the Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents) and shall bear interest thereafter at the Default Rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender shall have no obligation to send notice to Borrower of any such failure.

(c)      Whenever, pursuant to this Agreement, Lender has an approval or consent right, Borrower agrees and understands that such approval or consent may be conditioned upon Senior Borrower’s receipt of all applicable Senior Lender consents (including any required Rating Agency Confirmations), provided the foregoing shall not in any way extend the time periods set forth in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents for Lender to respond to requests of Borrower.

As soon as practicable after payment of any Indemnified Taxes by Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 10.25 , Borrower shall deliver evidence of such payment

 
100
Mezzanine Loan Agreement


reasonably satisfactory to the relevant Co-Lender. Any Co-Lender that is entitled to an exemption from, or reduction of, withholding Special Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to Borrower, at the time or times reasonably requested by Borrower, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by Borrower as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Co-Lender, if reasonably requested by Borrower, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Legal Requirements or reasonably requested by Borrower as will enable Borrower to determine whether or not such Co-Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. If a Co-Lender, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, determines that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes, it shall pay to Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made or additional amounts paid under this Section with respect to the Special Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Special Taxes) of such Co-Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Borrower, upon the request of such Co-Lender, shall repay to such Co-Lender the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 10.25 (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such Co-Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10.25 , in no event will a Co-Lender be required to pay any amount to Borrower pursuant to this Section 10.25 the payment of which would place such Co-Lender in a less favorable net after-Special Tax position than such Co-Lender would have been in if the Special Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Special Tax had never been paid. This Section 10.25 shall not be construed to require any Co-Lender to make available its Special Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Special Taxes that it deems confidential) to Borrower or any other Person.
Section 10.26      Assignments and Participations .

Upon such assignment, all references to Lender in this Agreement and in any Loan Document (or to an individual assigning Co-Lender in the event an individual Co-Lender makes such assignment rather than an assignment in whole by Lender) shall be deemed to refer to such assignee or successor in interest and such assignee or successor in interest shall thereafter stand in the place of Lender (or in the case of an individual assigning Co-Lender in the event an individual Co-Lender makes such assignment rather than an assignment in whole by Lender, such assignee of or successor in interest to such Co-Lender) in all respects. Except as expressly permitted herein, Borrower may not assign its rights, title, interests or obligations under this Agreement or under any of the Loan Documents.
(b)      Each Co-Lender (or such Co-Lender’s designee, which may include any Servicer or Borrower) as non-fiduciary agent of Borrower, shall maintain a record within the

meaning of U.S. Treasury Regulation 5f.103-1(c) that identifies each owner of an interest in the portion of the Loan held by such Co-Lender, including the name and address of the owner, and each owner’s rights to principal and stated interest (the “ Register ”) and shall record all transfers of such interest in the Loan, in such Register.  The entries in the Register shall, with respect to such Co-Lender, transferees and Borrower, be conclusive absent manifest error. The parties intend for the Loan to be in registered form for tax purposes, including for purposes of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Code.

Upon the Securitization of the entire Loan, each Co-Lender authorizes Deutsche Bank to, and Deutsche Bank hereby agrees to, assign to the Trustee all of Deutsche Bank’s right, title and interest in and to each Letter of Credit issued in accordance with the terms of this Agreement that is then in Deutsche Bank’s possession, whereupon, without any further action by any of the Co-Lenders, Deutsche Bank shall be released from any and all liability relating in any way to such Letter(s) of Credit.

(e)      With respect to the enforcement of the rights and remedies of Lender under the Loan Documents upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, if at such time there are multiple Co-Lenders holding the Loan, then either:
(i)      the Co-Lenders shall exercise such rights and remedies jointly together, or

SENIOR LOAN
Section 11.1      Compliance With Senior Loan Documents . Borrower shall (or shall cause Senior Borrower to): (a) pay all principal, interest and other sums required to be paid by Senior Borrower under and pursuant to the provisions of the Senior Loan Documents; (b) diligently perform and observe all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Senior Loan Documents on the part of Senior Borrower to be performed and observed, unless such performance or observance shall be waived in writing by Senior Lender; (c) promptly notify Lender of the giving of any notice by Senior Lender to Senior Borrower or Borrower of any default by Senior Borrower in the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of the Senior Loan Documents on the part of Senior 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 Senior Borrower or Guarantor to or from the Senior Lender or its agent; and (e) not enter into or be bound by any Senior Loan Documents that are not approved by Lender. Without limiting the foregoing, Borrower shall cause Senior Borrower to fund all reserves required to be funded pursuant to the Senior Loan Documents. In the event of a refinancing of the Senior Loan permitted by the terms of this Agreement, Borrower will cause all reserves on deposit with Senior Lender to be utilized by Senior Borrower

 
105
Mezzanine Loan Agreement


to reduce the amount due and payable to the Senior Lender or alternatively shall be remitted to Lender as a mandatory prepayment of the Loan.
Section 11.2      Senior 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 default under the Senior Loan Documents, Borrower hereby expressly agrees that Lender shall have the immediate right, without prior notice to Borrower, but shall be under no obligation: (i) to pay all or any part of the Senior 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 Senior Borrower as may be appropriate, to cause all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Senior Loan Documents on the part of Senior Borrower to be performed or observed thereunder to be promptly performed or observed; and (ii) to pay any other amounts and take any other action as Lender, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall deem advisable to protect or preserve the rights and interests of Lender in the Loan and/or the Collateral. All sums so paid and the costs and expenses incurred by Lender in exercising rights under this Section 12.2 (including attorneys’ fees) (i) shall constitute additional advances of the Loan to Borrower, (ii) shall increase the then unpaid principal balance, (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 Pledge Agreement.
(b)      Borrower hereby indemnifies Lender from and against all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, assessments, actions, or causes of action, judgments, suits, claims, demands, costs, expenses (including 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, Senior 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 Senior 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 Senior Loan, or to otherwise protect or preserve Lender’s interests in the Loan and the Collateral following a default or asserted default under the Senior Loan.
(c)      Any default or breach by Senior Borrower under the Senior Loan Documents which is not cured prior to the expiration of any applicable grace, notice or cure period afforded to Senior Borrower under the Senior Loan Documents shall constitute an Event of Default, without regard to any subsequent payment or performance of any such obligations by Lender. Borrower hereby grants Lender and any person designated by Lender the right to enter upon the Property at any time following the occurrence and during the continuance of any default, or the assertion by Senior Lender that a default has occurred under the Senior 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, Senior 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 Senior Lender with respect to any Senior Loan defaults), 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.

 
106
Mezzanine Loan Agreement


(d)      If Lender shall receive a copy of any notice of default under the Senior Loan Documents sent by Senior Lender to Senior 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 releases and waives all claims against Lender arising out of Lender’s exercise of its rights and remedies provided in this Section 12.2, except for Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. In the event that Lender makes any payment in respect of the Senior Loan, Lender shall be subrogated to all of the rights of Senior Lender under the Senior Loan Documents against the Property, in addition to all other rights it may have under the Loan Documents.
Section 11.3      Senior Loan Estoppels . Borrower shall (or shall cause Senior Borrower to), from time to time (but in no event to exceed once in any six (6) month period), use reasonable efforts to obtain from Senior Lender such certificates of estoppel with respect to compliance by Senior Borrower with the terms of the Senior Loan Documents as may be reasonably requested by Lender. In the event or to the extent that Senior 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 Senior Borrower expressly representing to Lender the information requested by Lender regarding compliance by Senior Borrower with the terms of the Senior Loan Documents. Borrower hereby indemnifies Lender from and against all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, assessments, actions, or causes of action, judgments, suits, claims, demands, costs, expenses (including 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 based in whole or in part upon any fact, event, condition, or circumstances relating to the Senior Loan which was misrepresented in, or which warrants disclosure and was omitted from such estoppel executed by Borrower and Senior Borrower.
Section 11.4      No Amendment to Senior Loan Documents . Without obtaining the prior written consent of Lender, Borrower shall not cause or permit Senior Borrower to (i) enter into any amendment or modification of any of the Senior Loan Documents or (ii) grant to Senior Lender any waiver. Borrower shall cause Senior Borrower to provide Lender with a copy of any amendment or modification to the Senior Loan Documents within five (5) Business Days after the execution thereof.
Section 11.5      Acquisition of the Senior Loan . Neither Borrower or Senior Borrower or any Affiliate of any of them shall acquire or agree to acquire the Senior Loan, or any portion thereof or any interest therein, or any direct or indirect ownership interest in the holder of the Senior Loan, via purchase, transfer, exchange or otherwise, and any breach or attempted breach of this provision shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder; provided, that the Borrower or any of its Affiliates may acquire any Securities (as defined in the Senior Loan Agreement) issued in connection with a Securitization (as defined in the Senior Loan Agreement) of all or any portion of the Senior Loan, subject to any applicable laws and the terms and provisions of any applicable documentation governing such Securitization, including any related trust and servicing agreements or pooling and servicing agreements. If, solely by operation of applicable subrogation law, Borrower or Senior Borrower or any Affiliate of any of them shall have failed

 
107
Mezzanine Loan Agreement


to comply with the foregoing, then Borrower: (i) shall immediately notify Lender of such failure; (ii) shall cause any and all such prohibited parties acquiring any interest in the Senior Loan Documents: (A) not to enforce the Senior Loan Documents; and (B) upon the request of Lender, to the extent any of such prohibited parties has or have the power or authority to do so, to promptly: (1) cancel the promissory note evidencing the Senior Loan, (2) re-convey and release the lien securing the Senior Loan and any other collateral under the Senior Loan Documents, and (3) discontinue and terminate any enforcement proceeding(s) under the Senior Loan Documents.
Section 11.6      Deed in Lieu of Foreclosure . Without the express prior written consent of Lender, Borrower shall not, and Borrower shall not cause, suffer or permit Senior Borrower to, enter into any deed-in-lieu or consensual foreclosure with or for the benefit of Senior Lender or any of its affiliates. Without the express prior written consent of Lender, Borrower shall not, and Borrower shall not cause, suffer or permit Senior Borrower to, enter into any consensual sale or other transaction in connection with the Senior 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 Senior Borrower in the Property or portion thereof or any interest therein.
Section 11.7      Refinancing or Prepayment of the Senior Loan . Neither Borrower nor Senior Borrower shall make any partial or full prepayments of amounts owing under the Senior Loan or refinance the Senior Loan without the prior written consent of Lender, unless (a) in the case of a full prepayment or refinance of the Senior Loan, such prepayment or refinancing results in the concurrent payment in full of the Debt, or (b) in the case of a partial prepayment of the Senior Loan, the Debt is being proportionately prepaid contemporaneously in accordance with the applicable terms and conditions of this Agreement, unless a Trigger Period exists, in which case Senior Borrower may prepay the Senior Loan in part in accordance with the terms of the Senior Loan Agreement without proportionately prepaying the Loan.

Section 1.1      Guaranty of Obligation .
(a)      Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees to Lender and its successors and assigns the payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations as and when the same shall be due and payable, whether by lapse of time, by acceleration of maturity or otherwise. Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally covenants and agrees that it is liable for the Guaranteed Obligations as a primary obligor.

Ex. D-1



(b)      As used herein, the term “ Guaranteed Obligations ” means the timely payment of all costs in respect of the Project(s) (as defined below) in excess of the Alteration Threshold (as defined in the Loan Agreement) with respect to the Project(s) from time to time.
(c)      Attached hereto as Annex A is a description of the Material Alteration(s) that are the subject of this Guaranty (subject to Section 1.1(d), each a “ Project ” and collectively, the “ Projects ”).
(d)      The Material Alteration(s) comprising the Project, and accordingly, the term “Project” as used herein, shall be deemed modified hereunder to the extent that Borrower modifies such Material Alteration(s) (including any increase or decrease in the scope thereof) in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement.
Section 1.2      Nature of Guaranty . This Guaranty is an irrevocable, absolute, continuing guaranty of payment and performance and not a guaranty of collection. This Guaranty may not be revoked by Guarantor and shall continue to be effective with respect to any Guaranteed Obligations arising or created after any attempted revocation by Guarantor and after (if Guarantor is a natural person) Guarantor’s death (in which event this Guaranty shall be binding upon Guarantor’s estate and Guarantor’s legal representatives and heirs). The fact that at any time or from time to time the Guaranteed Obligations may be increased or reduced shall not release or discharge the obligation of Guarantor to Lender with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations. This Guaranty may be enforced by Lender and any subsequent holder of the Note and shall not be discharged by the assignment or negotiation of all or part of the Note.
Section 1.3      Guaranteed Obligations Not Reduced by Offset . The Guaranteed Obligations and the liabilities and obligations of Guarantor to Lender hereunder shall not be reduced, discharged or released because or by reason of any existing or future offset, claim or defense of Borrower or any other party against Lender or against payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether such offset, claim or defense arises in connection with the Guaranteed Obligations (or the transactions creating the Guaranteed Obligations) or otherwise.
Section 1.4      Payment By Guarantor . If all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations shall not be punctually paid when due, whether at demand, maturity, acceleration or otherwise, Guarantor shall, immediately upon written demand therefor by Lender and without presentment, protest, notice of protest, notice of non-payment, notice of intention to accelerate the maturity, notice of acceleration of the maturity or any other notice whatsoever, all such notices being hereby waived by Guarantor, pay in lawful money of the United States of America, the amount due on the Guaranteed Obligations to Lender at Lender’s address as set forth herein. Such demand(s) may be made at any time coincident with or after the time for payment of all or part of the Guaranteed Obligations and may be made from time to time with respect to the same or different items of Guaranteed Obligations. Such demand shall be deemed made, given and received in accordance with the notice provisions hereof.
Section 1.5      No Duty To Pursue Others . It shall not be necessary for Lender (and Guarantor hereby waives any rights which Guarantor may have to require Lender), in order to enforce the obligations of Guarantor hereunder, first to (i) institute suit or exhaust its remedies against Borrower or others liable on the Loan or the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Person,

Lender shall not be required to mitigate damages or take any other action to reduce, collect or enforce the Guaranteed Obligations.
Section 1.6      Waivers . Guarantor agrees to the provisions of the Loan Documents and hereby waives notice of (i) any loans or advances made by Lender to Borrower, (ii) acceptance of this Guaranty, (iii) any amendment or extension of the Note, the Pledge Agreement, the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document, (iv) the execution and delivery by Borrower and Lender of any other loan or credit agreement or of Borrower’s execution and delivery of any promissory note or other document arising under the Loan Documents or in connection with the Collateral, (v) the occurrence of (A) any breach by Borrower of any of the terms or conditions of the Loan Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or (B) an Event of Default, (vi) Lender’s transfer or disposition of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any part thereof, (vii) the sale or foreclosure (or the posting or advertising for the sale or foreclosure) of any collateral for the Guaranteed Obligations, (viii) protest, proof of non-payment or default by Borrower, or (ix) any other action at any time taken or omitted by Lender and, generally, all demands and notices of every kind in connection with this Guaranty, the Loan Documents, any documents or agreements evidencing, securing or relating to any of the Guaranteed Obligations and/or the obligations hereby guaranteed, other than such notices to Guarantor (if any) as may be expressly required pursuant to the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents.
Section 1.7      Payment of Expenses . In the event that Guarantor shall breach or fail to timely perform any provisions of this Guaranty, Guarantor shall, immediately upon written demand therefor by Lender, pay Lender all reasonable costs and expenses (including court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by Lender in the enforcement hereof or the preservation of Lender’s rights hereunder, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date requested by Lender until the date of payment to Lender. The covenant contained in this Section shall survive the payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations.
Section 1.8      Effect of Bankruptcy . In the event that pursuant to any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership or other debtor relief law or any judgment, order or decision thereunder, Lender must rescind or restore any payment or any part thereof received by Lender in satisfaction of the Guaranteed Obligations, as set forth herein, any prior release or discharge from the terms of this Guaranty given to Guarantor by Lender shall be without effect and this Guaranty shall remain (or shall be reinstated to be) in full force and effect.

disclosed shall have executed its usual and customary confidentiality agreement, and each NRSRO (as defined below) desiring access to any secured website containing such information shall, as a condition to its access, have either furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission the certification required under Rule 17g-5(e) of the Exchange Act or be required to agree to (or “click through”) such website’s confidentiality provisions, (C) as required by any applicable Legal Requirement, (D) which is already publicly available as a result of disclosure by any other party, (E) in response to any order of any court or other Governmental Authority, (F) in connection with the exercise and/or enforcement by Lender of any rights and remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or (G) if Lender is required to do so in connection with any litigation or similar proceeding (in which case, Lender shall exercise reasonable efforts to give prior written notice of such requirement to Guarantor in order to permit Guarantor to seek a protective order at Guarantor’s sole cost and expense).  As used herein, (i) “ Information ” means all non-public information relating to Guarantor or its business delivered by Guarantor to Lender in connection with the origination of the Loan or required to be delivered or provided under this Guaranty; provided, that in the case of information received from Guarantor after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential; (ii) “ Disclosure Parties ” shall mean any actual or prospective investor, any actual or prospective assignee, any actual or prospective participant in the Loan, any actual or prospective providers of financing directly or indirectly secured by, the Loan or any Securities or any direct or indirect class, component, portion or interest therein or thereof, any Rating Agency rating any participations in the Loan and/or Securities, any NRSRO, any underwriter, any organization maintaining databases on the underwriting and performance of commercial mortgage loans, auditors, regulatory authorities or any Persons that may be entitled by law to the Information, any Affiliate of a Lender involved from time to time in the transactions contemplated by this Guaranty, any other Loan Document and/or in any Securitization, any employees, directors, agents, attorneys, accountants, or other professional advisors of a Lender or its Affiliates, any servicers of the Loan, and/or any Governmental Authorities, in all cases, as Lender determines necessary or desires in its sole discretion; and (iii) “ NRSRO ” means any credit rating agency that has elected to be treated as a nationally recognized statistical rating organization for purposes of Section 15E of the Exchange Act, without regard to whether or not such credit rating agency has been engaged by Lender or its designees in connection with, or in anticipation of, a Securitization. In no event shall Lender (x) be responsible for monitoring or enforcing such use of the Information by any Disclosure Party or (y) be liable to Guarantor or any other Person for any acts or omissions by any Disclosure Party, including, without limitation, any failure of any such Disclosure Party to limit its use of the Information.
Section 6.18      Environmental Provisions . To the extent California law applies, nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the right of Lender to recover in accordance with California Code of Civil Procedure Section 736 (as such Section may be amended from time to time), any costs, expenses, liabilities or damages, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, incurred by Lender and arising from any covenant, obligation, liability, representation or warranty contained in any indemnity agreement given to Lender, or any order, consent decree or settlement relating to the cleanup of Hazardous Substances (as defined in the Environmental Indemnity) or any other “environmental provision” (as defined in such Section 736) relating to the Collateral or any portion thereof or the right of Lender to waive, in accordance with the California Code of Civil Procedure Section 726.5 (as such Section may be amended from time to time), the security of the Pledge Agreement as to any Collateral that is “environmentally

Ex. D-15



impaired” or is an “affected parcel” (as such terms are defined in such Section 726.5), and as to any personal property attached to such parcel, and thereafter to exercise against Borrower, to the extent permitted by such Section 726.5, the rights and remedies of any unsecured creditor, including reduction of Lender’s claim against Borrower to judgment, and any other rights and remedies permitted by law.
Section 6.19      Additional Guarantor Waivers . To the extent California law applies, Guarantor hereby waives all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by Lender even though that election of remedies, such as a nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to security for guaranteed obligations, has destroyed Guarantor’s rights of subrogation and reimbursement against the principal by the operation of Section 580d of the California Code of Civil Procedure or otherwise. Specifically, and without in any way limiting the foregoing, Guarantor hereby waives any rights of subrogation, indemnification, contribution or reimbursement arising under Sections 2846, 2847, 2848 and 2849 of the California Civil Code or any right of recourse to or with respect to Borrower or the assets or property of Borrower or to any collateral for the Loan. In connection with the foregoing, Guarantor expressly waives any and all rights of subrogation against Borrower, and Guarantor hereby waives any rights to enforce any remedy which Lender may have against Borrower and any right to participate in any collateral for the Loan. Guarantor recognizes that, pursuant to Section 580d of the California Code of Civil Procedure, Lender’s realization through nonjudicial foreclosure upon any real property constituting security for Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Documents could terminate any right of Lender to recover a deficiency judgment against Borrower, thereby terminating subrogation rights which Guarantor otherwise might have against Borrower. In the absence of an adequate waiver, such a termination of subrogation rights could create a defense to enforcement of this Guaranty against such parties. Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives any such defense. In addition to and without in any way limiting the foregoing, Guarantor hereby subordinates any and all indebtedness of Borrower now or hereafter owed to Guarantor to all the indebtedness of Borrower to Lender and agrees with Lender that until such time as Lender may have no further claim against Borrower, Guarantor shall not demand or accept any payment of principal or interest from Borrower, claim any offset or other reduction of Guarantor’s obligations hereunder because of any such indebtedness and shall not take any action to obtain any of the collateral for the Loan. Further, Guarantor shall not have any right of recourse against Lender by reason of any action Lender may take or omit to take under the provisions of this Guaranty or under the provisions of any of the Loan Documents. If any amount shall nevertheless be paid to Guarantor by Borrower or another guarantor prior to payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of Lender and shall forthwith be paid to Lender to be credited and applied to the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured. The provisions of this paragraph shall survive any satisfaction and discharge of Borrower by virtue of any payment, court order or any applicable law, except payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations. Without limiting the foregoing, Guarantor waives (i) all rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification, and contribution and any other rights and defenses that are or may become available to Guarantor by reason of California Civil Code Sections 2787 to 2855, inclusive; (ii) any rights or defenses Guarantor may have with respect to its obligations as a guarantor by reason of any election of remedies by Lender; and (iii) all rights and defenses that Guarantor may have because Borrower’s debt is secured by real property. This means, among other things, that Lender may collect from Guarantor without first foreclosing on any real or personal property collateral pledged by

Ex. D-16



Borrower, and that if Lender forecloses on any real property collateral pledged by Borrower (A) the amount of the debt may be reduced only by the price for which that collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the collateral is worth more than the sale price, and (B) Lender may collect from Guarantor even if Lender, by foreclosing on the real property collateral, has destroyed any rights Guarantor may have to collect from Borrower. This is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses Guarantor may have because Borrower’s debt evidenced by the Note is secured by real property. These rights and defenses include, but are not limited to, any rights or defenses based upon Section 580a, 580b, 580d or 726 of the California Code of Civil Procedure.
Section 6.20      Termination . This Guaranty shall terminate upon the earlier to occur of (i) the date that the Debt has been indefeasibly paid in full, and there has expired the maximum possible period thereafter during which any payment made by Borrower or others to Lender with respect to the Loan could be deemed a preference under the United States Bankruptcy Code or (ii) the date of the completion of the Project(s) in accordance with Annex A attached hereto and the Loan Agreement, and the Guaranteed Obligations hereunder with respect to the Project(s) have been indefeasibly paid in full, each as determined by Lender in its reasonable discretion.

W I T N E S S E T H:
A.    Pursuant to those certain promissory notes executed by Maguire Properties–555 W. Fifth, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and by Maguire Properties – 350 S. Figueroa, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (collectively, “ Borrower ”), and payable to the order of Lender in the aggregate original principal amount of Three Hundred Nineteen Million and No/100 Dollars ($319,000,000.00) (collectively, with all renewals, modifications, increases and extensions thereof, the “ Note ”), Borrower has become indebted, and may from time to time be further indebted, to Lender with respect to a loan (the “ Loan ”) which is made pursuant to that certain Loan Agreement, dated of even date herewith, between Borrower and Lender (as the same may be amended, modified, supplemented, replaced or otherwise modified from time to time, the “ Loan Agreement ”). Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Loan Agreement.
B.    Lender is not willing to make the Loan, or otherwise extend credit, to Borrower unless Guarantor unconditionally guarantees the payment and performance to Lender of the Guaranteed Obligations (as herein defined).
C.     Guarantor is the owner of direct or indirect interests in Borrower, and Guarantor will directly benefit from Lender’s making the Loan to Borrower.
NOW, THEREFORE, as an inducement to Lender to make the Loan to Borrower and to extend such additional credit as Lender may from time to time agree to extend under the Loan Documents, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and legal sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties do hereby agree as follows:
ARTICLE 1
NATURE AND SCOPE OF GUARANTY
Section 1.1      Guaranty of Obligation .

(c)      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Guaranty or in any of the other Loan Documents, Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any right which Lender may have under Section 506(a), 506(b), 1111(b) or any other provisions of the Bankruptcy Code to file a claim for the full amount of the Obligations or to require that all collateral shall continue to secure all of the Obligations owing to Lender in accordance with the Loan Documents.
Section 1.2      Nature of Guaranty . This Guaranty is an irrevocable, absolute, continuing guaranty of payment and performance and not a guaranty of collection.

This Guaranty may be enforced by Lender and any subsequent holder of the Note and shall not be discharged by the assignment or negotiation of all or part of the Note.
Section 1.3      Guaranteed Obligations Not Reduced by Offset . The Guaranteed Obligations and the liabilities and obligations of Guarantor to Lender hereunder shall not be reduced, discharged or released because or by reason of any existing or future offset, claim or defense of Borrower or any other party against Lender or against payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether such offset, claim or defense arises in connection with the Guaranteed Obligations (or the transactions creating the Guaranteed Obligations) or otherwise.
Section 1.4      Payment By Guarantor . If all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations shall not be punctually paid when due, whether at demand, maturity, acceleration or otherwise, Guarantor shall, immediately upon written demand therefor by Lender and without presentment, protest, notice of protest, notice of non-payment, notice of intention to accelerate the maturity, notice of acceleration of the maturity or any other notice whatsoever, all such notices being hereby waived by Guarantor, pay in lawful money of the United States of America, the amount due on the Guaranteed Obligations to Lender at Lender’s address as set forth herein. Such demand(s) may be made at any time coincident with or after the time for payment of all or part of the Guaranteed Obligations and may be made from time to time with respect to the same or different items of Guaranteed Obligations. Such demand shall be deemed made, given and received in accordance with the notice provisions hereof.
Section 1.5      No Duty To Pursue Others . It shall not be necessary for Lender (and Guarantor hereby waives any rights which Guarantor may have to require Lender), in order to enforce the obligations of Guarantor hereunder, first to (i) institute suit or exhaust its remedies against Borrower or others liable on the Loan or the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Person,

Lender shall not be required to mitigate damages or take any other action to reduce, collect or enforce the Guaranteed Obligations.
Section 1.6      Waivers .

Section 1.7      Payment of Expenses . In the event that Guarantor shall breach or fail to timely perform any provisions of this Guaranty, Guarantor shall, immediately upon written demand therefor by Lender, pay Lender all reasonable costs and expenses (including court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by Lender in the enforcement hereof or the preservation of Lender’s rights hereunder, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date requested by Lender until the date of payment to Lender. The covenant contained in this Section shall survive the payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations.
Section 1.8      Effect of Bankruptcy . In the event that pursuant to any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership or other debtor relief law or any judgment, order or decision thereunder, Lender must rescind or restore any payment or any part thereof received by Lender in satisfaction of the Guaranteed Obligations, as set forth herein, any prior release or discharge from the terms of this Guaranty given to Guarantor by Lender shall be without effect and this Guaranty shall remain (or shall be reinstated to be) in full force and effect.

Section 3.5      Legality . The execution, delivery and performance by Guarantor of this Guaranty and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereunder, do not and will not contravene or conflict with any law, statute or regulation whatsoever to which Guarantor is subject, or constitute a default (or an event which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a default) under, or result in the breach of, any indenture, mortgage, charge, lien, contract, agreement or other instrument to which Guarantor is a party or which may be applicable to Guarantor. This Guaranty is a legal and binding obligation of Guarantor and is enforceable against Guarantor in accordance with its terms, except as limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or other laws of general application relating to the enforcement of creditors’ rights.
Section 3.6      Survival . All representations and warranties made by Guarantor herein shall survive the execution hereof.
ARTICLE 4
SUBORDINATION OF CERTAIN INDEBTEDNESS
Section 4.1      Subordination of All Guarantor Claims . As used herein, the term “ Guarantor Claims ” shall mean all debts and liabilities of Borrower to Guarantor, whether such debts and liabilities now exist or are hereafter incurred or arise, and whether the obligations of Borrower thereon be direct, contingent, primary, secondary, several, joint and several, or otherwise, and irrespective of whether such debts or liabilities be evidenced by note, contract, open account, or otherwise, and irrespective of the Person or Persons in whose favor such debts or liabilities may, at their inception, have been, or may hereafter be, created, or the manner in which they have been, or may hereafter be, acquired by Guarantor. The Guarantor Claims shall include, without limitation, all rights and claims of Guarantor against Borrower (arising as a result of subrogation or otherwise) as a result of Guarantor’s payment of all or a portion of the Guaranteed Obligations.

Guarantor hereby assigns such dividends and payments to Lender. Should Lender receive, for application against the Guaranteed Obligations, any dividend or payment which is otherwise payable to Guarantor and which, as between Borrower and Guarantor, shall constitute a credit against the Guarantor Claims, then, upon payment to Lender in full of the Obligations and the Guaranteed Obligations, Guarantor shall become subrogated to the rights of Lender to the extent that such payments to Lender on the Guarantor Claims have contributed toward the liquidation of the Guaranteed Obligations, and such subrogation shall be with respect to that proportion of the

Guaranteed Obligations which would have been unpaid if Lender had not received dividends or payments upon the Guarantor Claims.
Section 4.3      Payments Held in Trust . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Guaranty, in the event that Guarantor should receive any funds, payments, claims and/or distributions which are prohibited by this Guaranty, Guarantor agrees to hold in trust for Lender an amount equal to the amount of all funds, payments, claims and/or distributions so received, and agrees that it shall have absolutely no dominion over the amount of such funds, payments, claims and/or distributions so received except to pay such funds, payments, claims and/or distributions promptly to Lender, and Guarantor covenants promptly to pay the same to Lender.
Section 4.4      Liens Subordinate . Guarantor agrees that any liens, security interests, judgment liens, charges or other encumbrances upon Borrower’s assets securing payment of the Guarantor Claims shall be and remain inferior and subordinate to any liens, security interests, judgment liens, charges or other encumbrances upon Borrower’s assets securing payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, regardless of whether such encumbrances in favor of Guarantor or Lender presently exist or are hereafter created or attach. Without the prior written consent of Lender, Guarantor shall not (i) exercise or enforce any creditor’s rights it may have against Borrower, or (ii) foreclose, repossess, sequester or otherwise take steps or institute any action or proceedings (judicial or otherwise, including, without limitation, the commencement of, or the joinder in, any liquidation, bankruptcy, rearrangement, debtor’s relief or insolvency proceeding) to enforce any liens, mortgages, deeds of trust, security interests, collateral rights, judgments or other encumbrances on the assets of Borrower held by Guarantor. The foregoing shall in no manner vitiate or amend, nor be deemed to vitiate or amend, any prohibition in the Loan Documents against Borrower granting liens or security interests in any of its assets to any Person other than Lender.

Section 6.17      Confidentiality . Lender acknowledges that Information (as defined below) furnished to it may include material, non-public information concerning the Guarantor and shall be kept confidential; provided, that nothing herein shall preclude Lender from disclosing any Information (A) to any of the Disclosure Parties (as defined below) in connection with any Secondary Market Transaction, and following any Secondary Market Transaction, to actual investors in the Loan (or any portion thereof or interest therein) and to the Rating Agencies, (B) to any of the Disclosure Parties other than as described in clause (A) above, provided that such parties are advised by Lender of the confidential nature of such Information, and provided further that each Rating Agency and underwriter to which such information is disclosed shall have executed its usual and customary confidentiality agreement, and each NRSRO (as defined below) desiring access to any secured website containing such information shall, as a condition to its access, have either furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission the certification required under Rule 17g-5(e) of the Exchange Act or be required to agree to (or “click through”) such website’s confidentiality provisions, (C) as required by any applicable Legal Requirement, (D) which is already publicly available as a result of disclosure by any other party, (E) in response to any order of any court or other Governmental Authority, (F) in connection with the exercise and/or enforcement by Lender of any rights and remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or (G) if Lender is required to do so in connection with any litigation or similar proceeding (in which case, Lender shall exercise reasonable efforts to give prior written notice of such requirement to Guarantor in order to permit Guarantor to seek a protective order at Guarantor’s sole cost and expense).  As used herein, (i) “ Information ” means all non-public information relating to Guarantor or its business delivered by Guarantor to Lender in connection with the origination of the Loan or required to be delivered or provided under this Guaranty; provided, that in the case of information received from Guarantor after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential; (ii) “ Disclosure Parties ” shall mean any actual or prospective investor, any actual or prospective assignee, any actual or prospective participant in the Loan, any actual or prospective providers of financing directly or indirectly secured by, the Loan or any Securities or any direct or indirect class, component, portion or interest therein or thereof, any Rating Agency rating any participations in the Loan and/or Securities, any NRSRO, any underwriter, any organization maintaining databases on the underwriting and performance of commercial mortgage loans, auditors, regulatory authorities or any Persons that may be entitled by law to the Information, any Affiliate of a Lender involved from time to time in the transactions contemplated by this Guaranty, any other Loan Document and/or in any Securitization, any employees, directors, agents, attorneys, accountants, or other professional advisors of a Lender or its Affiliates, any servicers of the Loan, and/or any Governmental Authorities, in all cases, as Lender determines necessary or desires in its sole discretion; and (iii) “ NRSRO ” means any credit rating agency that has elected to be treated as a nationally recognized statistical rating organization for purposes of Section 15E of the Exchange Act, without regard to whether or not such credit rating agency has been engaged by Lender or its designees in connection with, or in anticipation of, a Securitization.

Guaranty of Recourse Obligations


Section 6.18      Environmental Provisions . To the extent California law applies, nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the right of Lender to recover in accordance with California Code of Civil Procedure Section 736 (as such Section may be amended from time to time), any costs, expenses, liabilities or damages, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, incurred by Lender and arising from any covenant, obligation, liability, representation or warranty contained in any indemnity agreement given to Lender, or any order, consent decree or settlement relating to the cleanup of Hazardous Substances (as defined in the Environmental Indemnity) or any other “environmental provision” (as defined in such Section 736) relating to the Property or any portion thereof or the right of Lender to waive, in accordance with the California Code of Civil Procedure Section 726.5 (as such Section may be amended from time to time), the security of the Mortgage as to any parcel of the Property that is “environmentally impaired” or is an “affected parcel” (as such terms are defined in such Section 726.5), and as to any personal property attached to such parcel, and thereafter to exercise against Borrower, to the extent permitted by such Section 726.5, the rights and remedies of any unsecured creditor, including reduction of Lender’s claim against Borrower to judgment, and any other rights and remedies permitted by law.
Section 6.19      Additional Guarantor Waivers . To the extent California law applies, Guarantor hereby waives all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by Lender even though that election of remedies, such as a nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to security for guaranteed obligations, has destroyed Guarantor’s rights of subrogation and reimbursement against the principal by the operation of Section 580d of the California Code of Civil Procedure or otherwise. Specifically, and without in any way limiting the foregoing, Guarantor hereby waives any rights of subrogation, indemnification, contribution or reimbursement arising under Sections 2846, 2847, 2848 and 2849 of the California Civil Code or any right of recourse to or with respect to Borrower or the assets or property of Borrower or to any collateral for the Loan. In connection with the foregoing, Guarantor expressly waives any and all rights of subrogation against Borrower, and Guarantor hereby waives any rights to enforce any remedy which Lender may have against Borrower and any right to participate in any collateral for the Loan. Guarantor recognizes that, pursuant to Section 580d of the California Code of Civil Procedure, Lender’s realization through nonjudicial foreclosure upon any real property constituting security for Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Documents could terminate any right of Lender to recover a deficiency judgment against Borrower, thereby terminating subrogation rights which Guarantor otherwise might have against Borrower. In the absence of an adequate waiver, such a termination of subrogation rights could create a defense to enforcement of this Guaranty against such parties. Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives any such defense. In addition to and without in any way limiting the foregoing, Guarantor hereby subordinates any and all indebtedness of Borrower now or hereafter owed to Guarantor to all the indebtedness of Borrower to Lender and agrees with Lender that until such time as Lender may have no further claim against Borrower, Guarantor shall not demand or accept any payment of principal or interest from Borrower, claim any offset or other reduction of Guarantor’s obligations hereunder because of any such indebtedness and shall not take any action to obtain any of the collateral for the Loan. Further, Guarantor shall not have any right of recourse against Lender by reason of any action Lender may take or omit to take under the provisions of this Guaranty or under the provisions of any of the Loan Documents. If any amount shall nevertheless be paid to Guarantor by Borrower or another guarantor prior to payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of Lender and shall forthwith be paid to Lender to be

 
17
Guaranty of Recourse Obligations


credited and applied to the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured. The provisions of this paragraph shall survive any satisfaction and discharge of Borrower by virtue of any payment, court order or any applicable law, except payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations. Without limiting the foregoing, Guarantor waives (i) all rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification, and contribution and any other rights and defenses that are or may become available to Guarantor by reason of California Civil Code Sections 2787 to 2855, inclusive; (ii) any rights or defenses Guarantor may have with respect to its obligations as a guarantor by reason of any election of remedies by Lender; and (iii) all rights and defenses that Guarantor may have because Borrower’s debt is secured by real property. This means, among other things, that Lender may collect from Guarantor without first foreclosing on any real or personal property collateral pledged by Borrower, and that if Lender forecloses on any real property collateral pledged by Borrower (A) the amount of the debt may be reduced only by the price for which that collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the collateral is worth more than the sale price, and (B) Lender may collect from Guarantor even if Lender, by foreclosing on the real property collateral, has destroyed any rights Guarantor may have to collect from Borrower. This is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses Guarantor may have because Borrower’s debt evidenced by the Note is secured by real property. These rights and defenses include, but are not limited to, any rights or defenses based upon Section 580a, 580b, 580d or 726 of the California Code of Civil Procedure.
Section 6.20      Termination . This Guaranty shall terminate at such time as the Debt has been indefeasibly paid in full, and there has expired the maximum possible period thereafter during which any payment made by Borrower or others to Lender with respect to the Loan could be deemed a preference under the United States Bankruptcy Code.

Such demand(s) may be made at any time coincident with or after the time for payment of all or part of the Guaranteed Obligations and may be made from time to time with respect to the same or different items of Guaranteed Obligations. Such demand shall be deemed made, given and received in accordance with the notice provisions hereof.
Section 1.5      No Duty To Pursue Others . It shall not be necessary for Lender (and Guarantor hereby waives any rights which Guarantor may have to require Lender), in order to enforce the obligations of Guarantor hereunder, first to (i) institute suit or exhaust its remedies against Borrower or others liable on the Loan or the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Person,

The Guarantor Claims shall include, without limitation, all rights and claims of Guarantor against Borrower (arising as a result of subrogation or otherwise) as a result of Guarantor’s payment of all or a portion of the Guaranteed Obligations.

Without the prior written consent of Lender, Guarantor shall not (i) exercise or enforce any creditor’s rights it may have against Borrower, or (ii) foreclose, repossess, sequester or otherwise take steps or institute any action or proceedings (judicial or otherwise, including, without limitation, the commencement of, or the joinder in, any liquidation, bankruptcy, rearrangement, debtor’s relief or insolvency proceeding) to enforce any liens, mortgages, deeds of trust, security interests, collateral rights, judgments or other encumbrances on the assets of Borrower held by Guarantor.

(Mezzanine)



has elected to be treated as a nationally recognized statistical rating organization for purposes of Section 15E of the Exchange Act, without regard to whether or not such credit rating agency has been engaged by Lender or its designees in connection with, or in anticipation of, a Securitization. In no event shall Lender (x) be responsible for monitoring or enforcing such use of the Information by any Disclosure Party or (y) be liable to Guarantor or any other Person for any acts or omissions by any Disclosure Party, including, without limitation, any failure of any such Disclosure Party to limit its use of the Information.
Section 6.18      Environmental Provisions . To the extent California law applies, nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the right of Lender to recover in accordance with California Code of Civil Procedure Section 736 (as such Section may be amended from time to time), any costs, expenses, liabilities or damages, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, incurred by Lender and arising from any covenant, obligation, liability, representation or warranty contained in any indemnity agreement given to Lender, or any order, consent decree or settlement relating to the cleanup of Hazardous Substances (as defined in the Environmental Indemnity) or any other “environmental provision” (as defined in such Section 736) relating to the Collateral or any portion thereof or the right of Lender to waive, in accordance with the California Code of Civil Procedure Section 726.5 (as such Section may be amended from time to time), the security of the Pledge Agreement as to any Collateral that is “environmentally impaired” or is an “affected parcel” (as such terms are defined in such Section 726.5), and as to any personal property attached to such parcel, and thereafter to exercise against Borrower, to the extent permitted by such Section 726.5, the rights and remedies of any unsecured creditor, including reduction of Lender’s claim against Borrower to judgment, and any other rights and remedies permitted by law.
Section 6.19      Additional Guarantor Waivers . To the extent California law applies, Guarantor hereby waives all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by Lender even though that election of remedies, such as a nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to security for guaranteed obligations, has destroyed Guarantor’s rights of subrogation and reimbursement against the principal by the operation of Section 580d of the California Code of Civil Procedure or otherwise. Specifically, and without in any way limiting the foregoing, Guarantor hereby waives any rights of subrogation, indemnification, contribution or reimbursement arising under Sections 2846, 2847, 2848 and 2849 of the California Civil Code or any right of recourse to or with respect to Borrower or the assets or property of Borrower or to any collateral for the Loan. In connection with the foregoing, Guarantor expressly waives any and all rights of subrogation against Borrower, and Guarantor hereby waives any rights to enforce any remedy which Lender may have against Borrower and any right to participate in any collateral for the Loan. Guarantor recognizes that, pursuant to Section 580d of the California Code of Civil Procedure, Lender’s realization through nonjudicial foreclosure upon any real property constituting security for Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Documents could terminate any right of Lender to recover a deficiency judgment against Borrower, thereby terminating subrogation rights which Guarantor otherwise might have against Borrower. In the absence of an adequate waiver, such a termination of subrogation rights could create a defense to enforcement of this Guaranty against such parties. Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives any such defense. In addition to and without in any way limiting the foregoing, Guarantor hereby subordinates any and all indebtedness of Borrower now or hereafter owed to Guarantor to all the indebtedness of Borrower to Lender and agrees with Lender that until such time as Lender may have no further

 
17
Guaranty of Recourse Obligations
(Mezzanine)



claim against Borrower, Guarantor shall not demand or accept any payment of principal or interest from Borrower, claim any offset or other reduction of Guarantor’s obligations hereunder because of any such indebtedness and shall not take any action to obtain any of the collateral for the Loan. Further, Guarantor shall not have any right of recourse against Lender by reason of any action Lender may take or omit to take under the provisions of this Guaranty or under the provisions of any of the Loan Documents. If any amount shall nevertheless be paid to Guarantor by Borrower or another guarantor prior to payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of Lender and shall forthwith be paid to Lender to be credited and applied to the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured. The provisions of this paragraph shall survive any satisfaction and discharge of Borrower by virtue of any payment, court order or any applicable law, except payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations. Without limiting the foregoing, Guarantor waives (i) all rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification, and contribution and any other rights and defenses that are or may become available to Guarantor by reason of California Civil Code Sections 2787 to 2855, inclusive; (ii) any rights or defenses Guarantor may have with respect to its obligations as a guarantor by reason of any election of remedies by Lender; and (iii) all rights and defenses that Guarantor may have because Borrower’s debt is secured by real property. This means, among other things, that Lender may collect from Guarantor without first foreclosing on any real or personal property collateral pledged by Borrower, and that if Lender forecloses on any real property collateral pledged by Borrower (A) the amount of the debt may be reduced only by the price for which that collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the collateral is worth more than the sale price, and (B) Lender may collect from Guarantor even if Lender, by foreclosing on the real property collateral, has destroyed any rights Guarantor may have to collect from Borrower. This is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses Guarantor may have because Borrower’s debt evidenced by the Note is secured by real property. These rights and defenses include, but are not limited to, any rights or defenses based upon Section 580a, 580b, 580d or 726 of the California Code of Civil Procedure.
Section 6.20      Termination . This Guaranty shall terminate at such time as the Debt has been indefeasibly paid in full, and there has expired the maximum possible period thereafter during which any payment made by Borrower or others to Lender with respect to the Loan could be deemed a preference under the United States Bankruptcy Code.

Loan:   The loan evidenced by this Note, including, without limitation, the Original Loan Funds
and the Additional Loan Funds.

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Borrower promises to pay to the order of Holder, at Holder’s Address or such other place as Holder may from time to time designate, the Loan Amount with interest payable in the manner described below, in money of the United States of America that at the time of payment shall be legal tender for payment of all obligations. This Note amends, restates and supersedes that certain Promissory Note in the original principal amount of $200,000,000 executed by Borrower in favor of Holder and dated as of the Original Closing Date (the “ Original Note ”).

Capitalized terms which are not defined in this Note shall have the meanings set forth in the Deed of Trust.

1.     Payment of Principal and Interest . Principal and interest under this Note shall be payable as follows:

(a)    The Interest Rate is the rate set forth on the front page of this Note. The Interest Rate will be reset by Holder, effective as of the first day of the first month following the month during which the Additional Loan Funds Advance Date occurs and each successive

4



one month period thereafter during the term of the Loan (individually “ Rate Reset Date ” and collectively “ Rate Reset Dates ”). The Interest Rate will be reset as aforesaid to the annual rate equal to the sum of (i) 218 basis points (2.18%) plus (ii) the “LIBOR Rate ” as of the close of the second Business Day prior to each of the Rate Reset Dates. A “ Business Day ” shall mean a day that both (x) commercial banks in London are open for international business (including dealings in dollar deposits) and (y) Holder is open for business in New York City.

(b)    The term “ LIBOR Rate ” as used herein shall mean the one month London interbank offered rate for deposits in U.S. dollars rounded upwards if necessary to the nearest one one-hundredth (1/100 th ) of one percent appearing on the display designated as Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page, or such other page as may replace LIBOR01 on that service (or such other service as may be nominated as the information vendor by the British Bankers’ Association (“ BBA ”), or successor administrator to the BBA, for the purpose of displaying the BBA’s, or successor administrator’s, interest settlement rates for U.S. dollar deposits as the composite offered rate for London interbank deposits). If the aforementioned sources of the LIBOR Rate are no longer available, then the term “ LIBOR Rate ” shall mean the one month London interbank offered rate for deposits in U.S. dollars rounded upwards if necessary to the nearest one one-hundredth (1/100 th ) of one percent as shown on the appropriate Bloomberg Financial Markets Services Screen or any successor index on such service under the heading “USD”. In the event the LIBOR Rate is no longer available, it may be replaced by the nearest equivalent or replacement benchmark, as determined by Holder in its sole discretion.

(c)    Borrower shall make interest only payments on the outstanding principal under the Loan as set forth in this Paragraph 1(c). Borrower shall make payments of interest only in arrears, at the Interest Rate specified in this Note on all outstanding principal under the Loan, on the first day of the first month following the Additional Loan Funds Advance Date and on the first day of each successive month through and including the month immediately preceding the Maturity Date (the payment made on the Interim Payment Date, and each successive monthly payment referenced in this Paragraph 1(c), a “ Monthly Installment ”). On each day when any payment of interest (or principal and interest) is due hereunder, Borrower shall pay to Holder all interest that is then accrued and outstanding. Interest shall be calculated on a daily basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a 360-day year.

(d)    On the Maturity Date, a final payment in the aggregate amount of the unpaid Secured Indebtedness shall become immediately payable in full. The “ Secured Indebtedness ” means the aggregate amount of the principal sum evidenced by this Note, all accrued and unpaid interest, and all other sums evidenced by this Note or secured by the Deed of Trust and/or any other Loan Documents, including without limitation all future advances or fundings that may be or have been made to or on behalf of Borrower by Holder following the Original Closing Date.

Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the entire unpaid Loan Amount shall be outstanding and due on the Maturity Date.

(e)    Borrower shall have two (2) options (the “ Extension Options ”) to

5



extend the Maturity Date of the Loan, each for a period of one year (in each case, the applicable “ Extension Period ”) provided that Borrower shall have provided Holder with written notice of its intent to exercise such Extension Option at least 30 days but not more than 90 days prior to the then-applicable Maturity Date (the “ Option Exercise Notice ”), and provided further that except as otherwise expressly provided below, the following conditions shall be satisfied:

(i)    As of the date of the Option Exercise Notice, Borrower’s debt yield ratio shall be no less than 12% on a forward-looking basis (as determined by Holder in its reasonable discretion). After receipt of an Option Exercise Notice, and to the extent Holder determines that Borrower is not entitled to exercise the applicable Extension Option as the result of Borrower’s failure to achieve the requisite debt yield ratio, Holder will provide Borrower with its calculation of the debt yield ratio within ten Business Days after the same is requested in writing by Borrower (which request is made following receipt of Lender’s determination). To the extent that Borrower does not otherwise satisfy the specified debt yield ratio, Borrower may elect to satisfy the same by making a partial prepayment of the Loan prior to the commencement of the applicable Extension Period, which prepayment shall be made in accordance with the terms of this Note (but without requiring payment of the entire Accelerated Loan Amount), and in the amount which would cause Borrower to satisfy the specified debt yield ratio, as reasonably determined by Lender. In such event the debt yield ratio shall be calculated as of the date of the Option Exercise Notice but shall be calculated as if such prepayment has been made.

(ii)    As of the date of the Option Exercise Notice, the ratio of the outstanding balance of the Loan to the value of the Property (as reasonably determined by Holder based on an appraisal of the Property prepared by a qualified appraiser selected by Holder and compensated by Borrower) shall be not greater than 55%. After receipt of an Option Exercise Notice, and to the extent Holder determines that Borrower is not entitled to exercise the applicable Extension Option as the result of Borrower’s failure to meet the requisite loan to value ratio, Holder will provide Borrower with its calculation of the loan to value ratio within ten Business Days after the same is requested in writing by Borrower (which request is made following receipt of Lender’s determination). To the extent that Borrower does not otherwise satisfy the specified loan to value ratio, Borrower may elect to satisfy the same by making a partial prepayment of the Loan prior to the commencement of the applicable Extension Period, which prepayment shall be made in accordance with the terms of this Note (but without requiring payment of the entire Accelerated Loan Amount), and in the amount which Lender reasonably determines would cause Borrower to satisfy the specified loan to value ratio. In such event the loan to value ratio shall be calculated as of the date of the Option Exercise Notice but shall be calculated as if such prepayment has been made.

(iii)    Prior to the commencement of the applicable Extension Period, Borrower shall pay an extension fee equal to $500,000.

(iv)      Prior to the commencement of the applicable Extension Period, Borrower shall have satisfied all requirements hereof with respect to an Interest Rate Cap Agreement for the applicable Extension Period.

(v)    As of the date of the Option Exercise Notice, no Event of Default shall exist.

(vi)    Prior to the commencement of the applicable Extension Period, if reasonably requested by Holder, Borrower and Liable Party shall have executed documents evidencing such extension in form and substance satisfactory to Holder in its reasonable discretion; provided, that such documents shall not increase the Borrower’s or the Liable Party’s obligations under the Loan Documents, the Indemnity Agreement or the Guaranty (except to the extent of any extension thereof corresponding to the applicable Extension Period) or decrease their rights thereunder.

(vii)     Borrower shall have paid all out of pocket costs and expenses incurred by Holder in connection with Borrower’s exercise of such Extension Option, including title insurance premiums (not to exceed $2,500), documentation costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees. Such costs and expenses shall be payable by Borrower whether or not the applicable extension occurs; provided that such extension shall not occur unless the costs and expenses referred to in this clause (vii) have been paid prior to the commencement of the applicable Extension Period.

In connection with the exercise of any Extension Option Borrower shall provide such evidence of satisfaction of the foregoing as Holder may reasonably request. The terms and conditions of the Loan Documents, the Indemnity Agreement and the Guaranty shall remain unchanged during the Extension Period, except to the extent of any extension thereof corresponding to the applicable Extension Period.

2.     Application of Payments . At the election of Holder, and to the extent permitted by law, all payments shall be applied in the order selected by Holder to any expenses, prepayment fees, late charges, escrow deposits and other sums due and payable under the Loan Documents, and to unpaid interest at the Interest Rate or at the Default Rate, as applicable. The balance of any payments shall be applied to reduce the then unpaid Loan Amount.

3.     Security . The covenants of the Deed of Trust are incorporated by reference into this Note. This Note shall evidence, and the Deed of Trust shall secure, the Secured Indebtedness.

4.     Late Charge . If any scheduled payment of interest is not paid within 7 days after the due date, Holder shall have the option to charge Borrower the Late Charge. The Late Charge is for the purpose of defraying the expenses incurred in connection with handling and processing delinquent payments and is payable in addition to any other remedy Holder may have. For the avoidance of doubt, the Late Charge shall not apply to the outstanding principal balance of the Loan due on the Maturity Date or upon any earlier acceleration of the Loan. Unpaid Late Charges shall become part of the Secured Indebtedness and shall be added to any subsequent payments due under the Loan Documents.

5.     Acceleration Upon Default . At the option of Holder, at any time during

7



which an Event of Default exists, the Secured Indebtedness, and all other sums evidenced and/or secured by the Loan Documents, including without limitation any applicable prepayment fees (collectively, the “ Accelerated Loan Amount ”) shall become immediately due and payable.

6.     Interest Upon Default . The Accelerated Loan Amount shall bear interest at the Default Rate which shall never exceed the maximum rate of interest permitted to be contracted for under the laws of the State of California (the “ State ”). The Default Rate shall commence upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and shall continue until all Events of Default are cured.

7.     Limitation on Interest . The agreements made by Borrower with respect to this Note and the other Loan Documents are expressly limited so that in no event shall the amount of interest received, charged or contracted for by Holder exceed the highest lawful amount of interest permissible under the laws applicable to the Loan. If at any time performance of any provision of this Note or the other Loan Documents results in the highest lawful rate of interest permissible under applicable laws being exceeded, then the amount of interest received, charged or contracted for by Holder shall automatically and without further action by any party be deemed to have been reduced to the highest lawful amount of interest then permissible under applicable laws. If Holder shall ever receive, charge or contract for, as interest, an amount which is unlawful, at Holder’s election, the amount of unlawful interest shall be refunded to Borrower (if actually paid) or applied to reduce the then unpaid Loan Amount. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable laws, any amounts contracted for, charged or received under the Loan Documents included for the purpose of determining whether the Interest Rate would exceed the highest lawful rate shall be calculated by allocating and spreading such interest to and over the full stated term of this Note.

8.     Prepayment . Borrower shall not have the right to prepay all or any portion of the Loan Amount at any time during the term of this Note except as expressly set forth in Section 9 below. Except to the extent otherwise expressly permitted under the Loan Documents, if Borrower provides notice of its intention to prepay, the Accelerated Loan Amount shall become due and payable on the date specified in the prepayment notice.

9.     Prepayment Fee .

(a)    The Loan may not be prepaid in whole or in part at any time prior to the Maturity Date except as follows: (x) commencing on the Prepayment Commencement Date, Borrower may prepay the Secured Indebtedness in its entirety subject to the Prepayment Fee (as defined below) on no less than 10 days prior written notice to Holder, (y) Borrower may make partial prepayments to the extent expressly so permitted in Section 1(e) hereof, and (z) Borrower may make payments of Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds in the event of a casualty or condemnation, as expressly required in accordance with the Deed of Trust. Any tender of payment by Borrower or any other person or entity of the Secured Indebtedness, other than as expressly provided in the preceding sentence, shall constitute a prohibited prepayment. If a prepayment of all or any part of the Secured Indebtedness is made following (i) an Event of Default and an acceleration of the Maturity Date, or (ii) in connection with a purchase of the

8



Property or a repayment of the Secured Indebtedness at any time before, during or after, a judicial or non-judicial foreclosure or sale of the Property, then to compensate Holder for the loss of the investment, if such event occurs prior to the Prepayment Commencement Date, Borrower shall pay an amount equal to the Default Prepayment Fee (as hereinafter defined). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no more than two times during any calendar year, Borrower may rescind its notice of intention to prepay in writing, which notice of rescission shall be provided to Holder no less than 5 days prior to the date specified in Borrower’s prepayment notice as the prepayment date, provided that Borrower shall be responsible for any out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred as a result of such rescission; thereafter in such calendar year, any prepayment notice given by Borrower is irrevocable and may not be withdrawn.

(b)    The “ Default Prepayment Fee ” shall be equal to (i) the greater of (a) the present value of all remaining Partial Monthly Payments of Interest (as defined below), discounted at the rate which, when compounded monthly, is equivalent to the Treasury Rate, compounded semi-annually, or (b) one percent (1%) of the amount of the principal being prepaid. A “ Partial Monthly Payment of Interest ” shall be defined as the outstanding principal balance of the Loan multiplied by 1.70%, divided by 360, multiplied by 365 and divided by 12. The number of “remaining” Partial Monthly Payments of Interest to be used in the calculation of the Default Prepayment Fee shall be equal to the number of remaining monthly installments of principal and interest due on the Loan to and including the last day of the 48 th month after the month in which the Original Closing Date occurred.

(c)    The “ Prepayment Fee ” shall be as follows: (a) for the 25 th through the 36 th month after the month in which the Original Closing Date occurred, .50% of the amount of principal being prepaid, (b) for the 37 th through the 48 th month after the month in which the Original Closing Date occurred, .25% of the amount of principal being prepaid, and (c) commencing on the first day of the 49 th month after the month in which the Original Closing Date occurred and thereafter, no Prepayment Fee shall be payable.

(d)    The “ Treasury Rate ” shall be the annualized yield on securities issued by the United States Treasury having a maturity equal to the remaining stated term of this Note, as quoted in the Federal Reserve Statistical Release [H. 15 (519) ] under the heading “U.S. Government Securities - Treasury Constant Maturities” for the date which is five (5) Business Days prior to the date on which prepayment is being made. If this rate is not available as of the date of prepayment, the Treasury Rate shall be determined by interpolating between the yield on securities of the next longer and next shorter maturity. If the Treasury Rate is no longer published, Holder shall select a comparable rate. Holder will, upon request, provide an estimate of the amount of the Prepayment Fee two weeks before the date of the scheduled prepayment.
 
10.     Waiver of Right to Prepay Note Without Prepayment Fee or Default Prepayment Fee. Borrower acknowledges that Holder has relied upon the anticipated investment return under this Note in entering into transactions with, and in making commitments to, third parties and that the tender of any prohibited prepayment or any permitted prepayment which pursuant to the terms of this Note requires a Prepayment Fee or Default Prepayment Fee shall include the Prepayment Fee or Default Prepayment Fee. Borrower agrees that the determination

9



of the Interest Rate was based on the intent, expectation and agreement (and the Interest Rate would have been higher without such agreement) of Borrower and Holder that the amounts advanced under this Note would not be prepaid during the term of this Note, or if any such prepayment would occur, the Prepayment Fee or Default Prepayment Fee would apply (except as expressly permitted by the terms of this Note). Borrower also agrees that the Prepayment Fee or Default Prepayment Fee represents the reasonable estimate of Holder and Borrower of a fair average compensation for the loss that may be sustained by Holder as a result of a prepayment of this Note and it shall be paid without prejudice to the right of Holder to collect any other amounts provided to be paid under the Loan Documents.

11.     Liability of Borrower .

(a)    Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, except as provided in this Section 11, Holder will look solely to the Property and the security under the Loan Documents for the repayment of the Loan and will not enforce a deficiency judgment against Borrower. However, nothing contained in this section shall limit the rights of Holder to proceed against Liable Party under the Guaranty or against Borrower, (i) to enforce any Leases entered into by Borrower or its affiliates as tenant; (ii) to recover actual damages for fraud, intentional material misrepresentation, or intentional physical waste; (iii) to recover any Condemnation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds or other similar funds which have been misapplied by Borrower or which, under the terms of the Loan Documents, should have been paid to Holder; (iv) to recover any tenant security deposits, tenant letters of credit or other deposits paid to Borrower or prepaid rents for a period of more than 30 days in advance of their respective due dates which have not been delivered to Holder; (v) to recover Rents and Profits received by Borrower after the first day of the month in which an Event of Default occurs and prior to the date Holder acquires title to the Property which have not been applied to the Loan or in accordance with the Loan Documents to operating and maintenance expenses of the Property; (vi) to recover actual damages, costs and expenses arising from, or in connection with, the Unsecured Indemnity Agreement; (vii) to recover all amounts due and payable pursuant to Sections 11.06 and 11.07 of the Deed of Trust and any amount expended by Holder in connection with the foreclosure of the Deed of Trust (provided that if the foreclosure of the Deed of Trust is uncontested then Borrower’s liability hereunder for the costs thereof shall be limited to any such costs in excess of $25,000); (viii) to recover costs and actual damages arising from Borrower’s failure to pay any insurance premiums or Impositions in the event Borrower is not required to deposit such amounts with Holder pursuant to Section 2.05 of the Deed of Trust, except where such failure to pay is due to insufficiency of available Borrower funds (and provided that during the six-month period prior to such failure to pay and at all times thereafter all Borrower’s funds were used for Property expenses (other than costs of disputes with Holder), and none of Borrower’s funds were distributed to any owner of Borrower, and, in the case of failure to pay insurance premiums Borrower provided prior written notice to Holder stating expressly that it would not be able to fund such payment of premiums), (ix) to recover costs and actual damages arising from Borrower’s failure to comply with the provisions of the Deed of Trust pertaining to ERISA; (x) to recover any actual damages, costs, expenses or liabilities, including attorneys' fees, incurred by Holder and arising from any breach or enforcement of any "environmental provision" (as defined in California Code of Civil Procedure Section 736, as such Section may be amended from time to time) relating to the Property or any portion thereof; (xi) to recover costs and actual damages arising from any unpermitted Transfer or Secondary Financing which occurs and consists of leases of office space in the Property in violation of the Loan Documents; (xii) to recover any loss (including diminution in value), liabilities, damages, costs, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), incurred by Holder and arising from Borrower’s voting under the REA (as defined in the Deed of Trust) on a matter requiring the unanimous consent of the parties thereunder, without Holder’s prior written consent as to such vote; and/or (xiii) to recover any loss (including diminution in value), liabilities, damages, costs, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), arising from the existence of or enforcement of the terms set forth in that certain Co-Ownership Agreement (or the memorandum thereof described herein) memorialized by that

12



certain Memorandum of Lot 4 Co-Ownership Agreement dated July 29, 1985 executed by Oxford Purdential Joint Venture, a California general partnership, and PPLA Plaza Limited Partnership, a California limited partnership, and recorded as Instrument No. 85-1347993 of the official records of Los Angeles County, California; provided that neither Borrower nor Liable Party shall be liable under this clause (xii) for any costs or expenses incurred under such Co-Ownership Agreement following a foreclosure of the Deed of Trust or deed in lieu thereof, which costs and expenses are in excess of the costs and expenses allocated to the owner of the Property under the REA (as defined in the Deed of Trust). As used herein, “ Lot 4 ” means Lot 4 of Tract Map 32622 recorded in the Official Records in Book 1098 pages 83 through 86 of maps.

The limitation of liability set forth in this Section 11 shall not apply, and the Loan shall be fully recourse to Borrower in the event that prior to the full, final and indefeasible repayment of the Secured Indebtedness, Borrower commences a voluntary bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding or an involuntary bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding is commenced against Borrower and is not dismissed within 90 days of filing. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, Borrower shall not be personally liable for payment of the Secured Indebtedness merely by reason of an involuntary bankruptcy (irrespective of its duration) as to which the following conditions are satisfied (1) such involuntary bankruptcy is not solicited, procured or supported by Borrower or any Borrower Party; and (2) none of the Borrower nor any Borrower Party shall propose or support any plan of reorganization which in any way modifies or seeks to modify any provisions of the Loan Documents or any of Holder’s rights under the Loan Documents or the Unsecured Indemnity. In addition, this agreement shall not waive any rights which Holder would have under any provisions of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code to file a claim for the full amount of the Secured Indebtedness or to require that the Property shall continue to secure all of the Secured Indebtedness.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the limitation of liability set forth in this Section 11 shall not apply, and the Loan shall be fully recourse to Borrower in the event that there is a Transfer or Secondary Financing (except any Transfer or Secondary Financing that (a) is permitted by the Loan Documents, (b) is otherwise approved by Holder in writing, (c) consists of mechanics liens which have not been foreclosed, or other involuntary liens which have not been foreclosed, (d) consists of leases of office space in the Property in violation of the Loan Documents, or (e) consists of the granting of easements that do not unreasonably interfere with the use or value of the Property).

Borrower Party ” means Borrower, Liable Party, and any other entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with either of them, and “ Borrower Parties ” means any two or more of them.

(b)    Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or any other Loan Documents or the Unsecured Indemnity Agreement (and this provision shall in all cases supersede all contradictory provisions and agreements contained herein or in the Loan Documents and/or the Unsecured Indemnity Agreement), none of Trustor’s Constituents (other than Borrower and Liable Party) nor any of the officers, directors or employees of Borrower or of any of Trustor’s Constituents (collectively the “ Up-Tier Borrower Parties ”) shall be personally

13



liable for, and Holder shall not seek damages, money judgments, deficiency judgment or personal judgment against any of the Up-Tier Borrower Parties for, the enforcement of any of the obligations of Borrower or any other party hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents or the Unsecured Indemnity Agreement. As used in this Section 11 the term “Trustor’s Constituents” shall have the meaning set forth in the Deed of Trust.
12.     Waiver by Borrower . Borrower and others who may become liable for the payment of all or any part of this Note, and each of them, waive diligence, demand, presentment for payment, notice of nonpayment, protest, notice of dishonor and notice of protest, notice of intent to accelerate and notice of acceleration and specifically consent to and waive notice of any amendments, modifications, renewals or extensions of this Note, including the granting of extension of time for payment, whether made to or in favor of Borrower or any other person or persons.

13.     Exercise of Rights . No single or partial exercise by Holder, or delay or omission in the exercise by Holder, of any right or remedy under the Loan Documents shall waive or limit the exercise of any such right or remedy. Holder shall at all times during the continuance of an Event of Default have the right to proceed against any portion of or interest in the Property in the manner that Holder may deem appropriate, without waiving any other rights or remedies. The release of any party under this Note shall not operate to release any other party which is liable under this Note and/or under the other Loan Documents or under the Indemnity Agreement or the Guaranty.

14.     Fees and Expenses . If Borrower defaults under this Note, Borrower shall be personally liable for and shall pay to Holder, in addition to the sums stated above, the costs and expenses of enforcement and collection, including a reasonable sum as an attorney’s fee. This obligation is not limited by Section 11.

15.     No Amendments . This Note may not be modified or amended except in a writing executed by Borrower and Holder. No waivers shall be effective unless they are set forth in a writing signed by the party which is waiving a right. This Note and the other Loan Documents constitute the complete and final expression of the lending relationship between Borrower and Holder. All prior agreements are of no further force or effect. Borrower acknowledges that there is no unwritten agreement binding on Holder with respect to the Loan or the Property.

16.     Governing Law . This Note is to be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State.

17.     Construction . The words “Borrower” and “Holder” shall be deemed to include their respective heirs, representatives, successors and assigns, and shall denote the singular and/or plural, and the masculine and/or feminine, and natural and/or artificial persons, as appropriate. The provisions of this Note shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any changes in the shareholders, partners or members of Borrower. If more than one party is Borrower, the obligations of each party shall be joint and several. The captions in this Note are

14



inserted only for convenience of reference and do not expand, limit or define the scope or intent of any section of this Note.

18.     Notices . All notices, demands, requests and consents permitted or required under this Note shall be given in the manner prescribed in the Deed of Trust.

19.     Time of the Essence . Time shall be of the essence with respect to all of Borrower’s obligations under this Note.

20.     Severability . If any provision of this Note should be held unenforceable or void, then that provision shall be deemed separable from the remaining provisions and shall not affect the validity of this Note, except that if that provision relates to the payment of any monetary sum, then Holder may, at its option, declare the Secured Indebtedness (together with the Prepayment Fee) immediately due and payable.

21.     Interest Rate Cap Agreement .

(a)    At all times until the Secured Indebtedness is repaid in full (including during any Extension Period), Borrower shall maintain in the possession of Lender, in full force and effect, one or more interest rate cap agreements providing for protection against increases in the LIBOR Rate and satisfying the requirements of this Section 21 (such agreement or agreements which collectively have a notional amount not less than the amount of principal outstanding under the Loan from time to time, individually and collectively, as applicable, an “ Interest Rate Cap Agreement ”). The notional amount(s) of such Interest Rate Cap Agreements in effect from time to time shall collectively equal the amount of principal outstanding under the Loan on the date such Interest Rate Cap Agreements are issued. The strike interest rate designated in each Interest Rate Cap Agreement (the “ Strike Rate ”) during the original Loan term shall be 5.75%, and the requisite Strike Rate for any Extension Period shall be determined by Holder in its reasonable discretion, taking into consideration the forward LIBOR curve, the debt service coverage ratio, the requirements of similar lenders with similar borrowers for similar loans (but not implying an obligation to conform thereto) and such other factors as Holder may reasonably deem relevant.

(b)    The term of any Interest Rate Cap Agreement delivered (or held by Holder in connection with the Loan) pursuant to this Section 21 at the Addition Loan Funds Advance Date shall expire no earlier than the then current Maturity Date. If an Extension Option shall have been properly exercised, then not less than 30 days prior to the commencement of the applicable Extension Period, Borrower shall enter into an Interest Rate Cap Agreement expiring not earlier than the last day of the applicable Extension Period, and otherwise satisfying the requirements of this Section 21.

(c)    Any Interest Rate Cap Agreement (i) shall be in form reasonably acceptable to Lender, (ii) shall be with a counterparty that has and maintains a long-term unsecured debt rating or counterparty rating of A or higher from S&P and a long-term unsecured debt rating of A2 or higher from Moody’s, and is otherwise satisfactory to Holder in its reasonable discretion (a counterparty meeting both such criteria may be referred to as an

15



Acceptable Counterparty ”), and (iii) shall direct such acceptable counterparty to deposit any and all payments due under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement directly into an account designated by Lender so long as any portion of the Loan remains outstanding, provided however, for purposes of this requirement, the Loan shall be deemed to be remaining outstanding if the Property is transferred to Lender (or its nominee or designee) by judicial foreclosure or non-judicial foreclosure or by deed-in-lieu thereof. Borrower shall collaterally assign to Lender all of its right, title and interest to receive any and all payments under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, and shall deliver to Lender an executed counterpart of such Interest Rate Cap Agreement which shall by its terms authorize the assignment to Lender and require that payments be deposited directly into the account as shall be designated by Lender. In furtherance of the foregoing, together with the delivery of any Interest Rate Cap Agreement required hereunder, as well as any replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement required hereunder, Borrower shall execute and deliver a Collateral Assignment of Interest Rate Cap Agreement in the form of the Collateral Assignment of Interest Rate Cap Agreement delivered in connection with the Loan on or about the Original Closing Date.
(d)    Borrower shall comply with all of its obligations under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement. All amounts paid by the counterparty under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement to Borrower or Lender shall be deposited immediately into such account as shall be designated by Lender. The Interest Rate Cap Agreement, the Cap Proceeds (as hereinafter defined), and the aforesaid account designated by Lender shall be deemed to be part of the “Property” for purposes of Section 11 hereof. Borrower shall take all actions reasonably required by Lender to enforce Lender's rights under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement in the event of a default by the counterparty and shall not waive, amend or otherwise modify any of its rights thereunder.
(e)    In the event of a withdrawal, qualification or downgrade of the rating of the counterparty to any Interest Rate Cap Agreement (whether procured with respect to the initial Loan term or any Extension Period) below a rating of BBB+ from S&P or Baa1 from Moody’s, then within 10 Business Days after written notice from Holder, Borrower shall deliver to Holder a replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement satisfying the requirements set forth herein and issued by an Acceptable Counterparty; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be required to obtain such replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement if, within said period of 10 Business Days (i) the rating of such counterparty after such downgrade is at least BBB from S&P and Baa2 from Moody’s, and such counterparty or an affiliate thereof posts cash collateral in an amount and manner reasonably acceptable to Holder securing the counterparty’s obligations under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement (provided however that if such ratings of such counterparty subsequently fall below BBB from S&P or Baa2 from Moody’s, Holder again may require a replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement), or (ii) an affiliate of such counterparty, which affiliate has a long-term unsecured debt rating or counterparty rating of A or higher from S&P and a long-term unsecured debt rating of A2 or higher from Moody’s, delivers a guaranty reasonably acceptable to Holder guaranteeing the counterparty’s obligations under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement (provided however that if such ratings of such guarantor subsequently fall below BBB from S&P or Baa2 from Moody’s, Holder again may require a replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement).

16



(f)    In the event that Borrower fails to purchase, deliver and/or maintain the Interest Rate Cap Agreement or any replacement thereof as required hereby, Lender may, after ten (10) Business Days’ written notice to Borrower (in addition to exercising any of its other rights and remedies), purchase such Interest Rate Cap Agreement or any replacement thereof and the actual out-of-pocket costs incurred by Lender in purchasing and maintaining the same shall be paid by Borrower with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date such cost was incurred by Lender until such cost is paid by Borrower to Lender.
(g) In connection with each Interest Rate Cap Agreement provided hereunder, Borrower shall obtain and deliver to Lender an opinion of counterparty’s counsel (upon which Lender and its successors and assigns may rely) in form, scope and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender, regarding the authorization of the counterparty to enter into such Interest Rate Cap Agreement and any collateral assignment thereof, the legality, validity, and binding effect of such Interest Rate Cap Agreement and the collateral assignment thereof as to such counterparty, and such other matters as Lender may reasonably require.
(h) Proceeds of any and all rights that Borrower may now or hereafter have to any and all payments, disbursements, distributions or proceeds under any Interest Rate Cap Agreement (“ Cap Proceeds ”) may be held by Lender as cash collateral for Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Documents and shall be applied as provided below. If an Event of Default exists, any such Cap Proceeds may be applied by Lender to the payment of accrued interest, late charges, principal (including the Prepayment Fee, if any, occasioned by a principal payment), or any other obligation arising out of the obligations of Borrower to Lender under the Loan Documents in such manner as Lender in its sole discretion deems appropriate. If no Event of Default exists, proceeds of any such Cap Proceeds received by Lender shall upon receipt be applied by Lender to interest under the Note, then to any other amounts due and owing under the Loan Documents and any such Cap Proceeds which remain unapplied thereafter shall be returned to Borrower. If held as cash collateral following an Event of Default and not otherwise applied to Borrower’s obligations outstanding under the Loan Documents, such cash collateral (or what remains thereof) shall be returned to Borrower upon the indefeasible payment in full of all amounts owing under the Note, and the other Loan Documents.

CERTIFICATION

I, Paul L. Schulman, certify that:
