Each payment received by Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of a Lender Group shall be promptly distributed by Administrative Agent in accordance with the instructions provided by the Managing Agent for such Lender Group. If any payment to be made by any Borrower Party shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be.
(b) Borrower Deposits. The Borrower Parties shall deposit or cause to be deposited into the Administrative Agent’s Account:
(i) On each Settlement Date, accrued and unpaid Yield for the applicable Interest Period;
(ii) On the specified Business Day with respect to a reduction of the Principal Obligation under Section 3.5 or Section 3.6, the amount of the reduction, accrued and unpaid Yield thereon to such Business Day and any other Obligations (other than Yield) with respect to such amount;

(ii) to the applicable Managing Agents (on behalf of their related Lenders), pro rata based on the Lender Group Percentages of their respective Lender Groups in the Loans, accrued and unpaid Yield on all Portions of Loans for the related Interest Periods; and
(iii) first, to the applicable Managing Agents (on behalf of their related Lenders), pro rata based on the Lender Group Percentages of their respective Lender Groups in the Loans, in reduction of the aggregate outstanding Loans, and second, for deposit in the Administrative Agent’s Account an amount necessary to Cash Collateralize the Letter of Credit Liability as required pursuant to Section 2.5.
3.5. Voluntary Prepayments. Any Borrower Party may, upon notice to Administrative Agent, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that: (a) such notice must be received by Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. three (3) Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Loans; and (b) any prepayment of Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding. Each such notice shall specify the date (which
shall be a Business Day) and amount of such prepayment. Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Managing Agent of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Managing Agent’s Lender Group Percentage of such prepayment.

Any prepayment of a Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest thereon, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 4 hereof. Each such prepayment shall be applied to the Obligations held by each Lender in accordance with its respective Pro Rata Share.
3.6. Reduction or Early Termination of Commitments. So long as no Loan Notice or Request for Letter of Credit is outstanding, Borrower may terminate the Commitments, or reduce the Facility Amount, by giving prior irrevocable written notice to Administrative Agent of such termination or reduction ten (10) Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction (which date shall be specified by Borrower in such notice): (a) (i) in the case of complete termination of the Commitments, upon prepayment of all of the outstanding Obligation, including, without limitation, all interest accrued thereon, in accordance with the terms of Section 3.5; or (ii) in the case of a reduction of the Facility Amount, upon prepayment of the amount by which the Principal Obligation exceeds the reduced Available Loan Amount resulting from such reduction, including, without limitation, payment of all interest accrued thereon, in accordance with the terms of Section 3.5, provided, however, that, except in connection with a termination of the Commitments, the Facility Amount may not be reduced such that, upon such reduction, the Available Loan Amount is less than the aggregate face amount of outstanding Letters of Credit; and (b) in the case of the complete termination of the Commitments, if any Letter of Credit Liability exists, Borrower shall immediately Cash Collateralize the then-outstanding amount of the Letter of Credit Liability, without
presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived. Unless otherwise required by law, upon the full and final payment of the Letter of Credit Liability, or the termination of all outstanding Letter of Credit Liability due to the expiration of all outstanding Letters of Credit prior to draws thereon, Administrative Agent shall return to Borrower or the applicable Qualified Borrower any amounts remaining in such cash collateral account, provided, however, that, so long as no Event of Default exists, to the extent individual Letters of Credit expire, Administrative Agent will return to Borrower or the applicable Qualified Borrower the corresponding amount of the expired Letter of Credit Liability. Notwithstanding the foregoing: (1) after any reduction of the Facility Amount by Borrower, the next subsequent reduction shall not occur until at least one month thereafter; (2)
0;any reduction of the Facility Amount shall be in an amount equal to or greater than $5,000,000; and (3) in no event shall a reduction by Borrower reduce the Facility Amount to $10,000,000 or less (except for a termination of all the Commitments).

Any reduction of the Facility Amount shall reduce the Commitments of the Alternate Lenders on a pro rata basis.

4. CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES.
4.1. Taxes.
(a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Borrower Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, provided that if any Borrower Party shall be required by applicable law to deduct any Indemnified Taxes (including any Other Taxes) from such payments, then: (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 4.1) each Tax Indemnified Party receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made; (ii) the applicable Borrower Party shall make such deductions; and (iii) such Borrower Party shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.
(b) Payment of Other Taxes by Borrower. Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) above, each Borrower Party shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.
(c) Indemnification by Borrower Parties. Each Borrower Party shall indemnify each Tax Indemnified Party, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 4.1) paid by such Tax Indemnified Party and penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Autho
rity. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the applicable Borrower Party by a Tax Indemnified Party (with a copy to Administrative Agent), on its own behalf or on behalf of a Tax Indemnified Party, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(d) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by a Borrower Party to a Governmental Authority, such Borrower Party shall deliver to Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent.
(e) Gross Up. If any Borrower Party shall be required to deduct or pay any Taxes or Other Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under any Loan Document to Administrative Agent or any Secured Party, such Borrower Party shall also pay to Administrative Agent or to such Secured Party, as the case may be, at the time interest is paid, such additional amount that Administrative Agent or such Secured Party specifies is necessary to preserve the after-tax yield (after factoring in all taxes, including taxes imposed on or measured by net income) that Administrative Agent or such Secured Party would have received if such Taxes or Other Taxes had not been imposed.
Revolving Credit Agreement
Acadia Strategic Opportunity Fund III LLC
(f) Selection of Lending Office. If a Borrower Party is or is likely to be required to pay additional amounts to or for the account of any Lender pursuant to this Section 4.1, then such Lender will agree to use reasonable efforts to change the jurisdiction of its Lending Office so as to eliminate or reduce any such additional payment which may thereafter accrue if such change, in the good faith judgment of such Lender, is not otherwise materially disadvantageous to such Lender.
(g) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any Tax Indemnified Party determines, in its reasonable discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower Parties or with respect to which any Borrower Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 4.1, it shall pay to such Borrower Party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Borrower Party under this Section 4.1
font>with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of such Tax Indemnified Party, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that each Borrower Party, upon the request of such Tax Indemnified Party, agrees to repay the amount paid over to such Borrower Party (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to such Tax Indemnified Party in the event such Tax Indemnified Party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This subsection shall not be construed to require any Tax Indemnified Party to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower Parties or any other Person.
4.2. Illegality. If any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for such Lender or its Lending Office to make, maintain, finance or fund Loans or other Obligations, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the LIBOR Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the LIBOR Rate, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to Borrower Parties through Administrative Agent, any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Loans
or to convert Portions of Loans accruing Yield calculated by reference to the LIBOR Rate to Portions of Loans calculated by return to the Base Rate shall be suspended until such Lender notifies Administrative Agent and Borrower Parties that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon the prepayment of any such Loans, each Borrower Party shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid. Each Lender agrees to designate a different Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for such notice and will not, in the good faith judgment of such Lender, otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender.
4.3. Inability to Determine Rates. If the LIBOR Rate is at any time applicable and if Administrative Agent is unable to obtain on a timely basis the information necessary to determine the LIBOR Rate for any proposed Interest Period, then: (a) Administrative Agent shall forthwith notify the Lenders and each Borrower Party that the LIBOR Rate cannot be determined for such Interest Period; and (b) while such circumstances exist, none of the Managing Agents shall allocate any Portion of Loans with respect to Loans made during such period, or reallocate any Portion of Loans allocated to any then-existing Interest Period ending during such period, to a
Interest Period with respect to which Yield is calculated by reference to the LIBOR Rate. If, with respect to any outstanding Interest Period, a Lender notifies the Administrative Agent that it is unable to obtain matching deposits based upon the London interbank market to fund its purchase or maintenance of such Portion of Loans or that the LIBOR Rate applicable to such Portion of Loans will not adequately reflect the cost to the Person of funding or maintaining such Portion of Loans for such Interest Period, then: (i) Administrative Agent shall forthwith so notify Borrower and the Lenders; and (ii) upon such notice and thereafter while such circumstances exist, the applicable Managing Agent shall not allocate any other Portion of Loans with respect to Loans made by such Lender during such period, or reallocate any Portion of Loans allocated to any Interest Period ending during such period, to an Interest Period with respect to which Yield is calculated by reference to the LIBOR Rate.

4.4. Increased Cost and Capital Adequacy.
(a) Change in Law: Increased Cost. If any Secured Party determines that as a result of the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any Law, or such Secured Party’s compliance therewith, there shall be any increase in the cost to such Secured Party of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining Loans or (as the case may be) issuing or participating in Letters of Credit (collectively, the “Covered Matters”), or its obligation to advance funds under a Program Support Agreement or otherwise in respect of Covered Matters, or a reduction in the amount r
eceived or receivable by such Secured Party in connection with any of the foregoing (excluding for purposes of this clause (a) any such increased costs or reduction in amount resulting from: (i) Taxes or Other Taxes (as to which Section 4.1 shall govern); (ii) changes in the basis of taxation of overall net income or overall gross income by the United States or any foreign jurisdiction or any political subdivision of either thereof under the Laws of which such Secured Party is organized or has its Lending Office; and (iii) reserve requirements utilized in the determination of the LIBOR Rate), then from time to time upon demand of such Secured Party (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower Parties shall pay to such Secured Party such additional amounts as will compensate such Secured Party for such increased cost or reduction:
0; (A) promptly on demand, to the extent that funds are available in the Collateral Account or any other account maintained by Borrower; and (B) otherwise, to the extent that it is necessary for Call Notices to be issued to fund such required payment, within fifteen (15) Business Days after demand (but in any event, the Credit Parties shall issue such Call Notices and shall make such payment immediately after the related Capital Contributions are received).
(b) Change in Law: Capital Adequacy. If any Secured Party determines that the introduction of any Law regarding capital adequacy or any change therein or in the interpretation thereof, or compliance by such Secured Party (or its Lending Office) therewith, has the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of such Secured Party or any corporation controlling such Secured Party as a consequence of Covered Matters or its obligation to advance funds under a Program Support Agreement or otherwise in respect of Covered Matters (taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy and such Secured Party’s desired return on capital), then f
rom time to time upon demand of such Secured Party (with a copy of such demand to Administrative Agent), the applicable Borrower Parties shall pay to such Secured Party such additional amounts as will compensate such Secured Party for such reduction; provided, however, that such amounts shall not be duplicative of any amounts paid by such Borrower Party in the preceding clause (a): (A) promptly on demand, to the extent that funds are available in the Collateral Account or any other account maintained by such Borrower Party; and (B) otherwise, to the extent that it is necessary for Call Notices to be issued to fund such required payment, within fifteen (15) Business Days after demand (but in any event, the Credit Parties shall issue such Call Notices and shall make such payment after the related Capital Contributions are r
eceived).

4.5. Funding Losses. Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to Administrative Agent) from time to time, the Borrower Parties shall promptly pay Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender, such amount or amounts as shall compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by such Lender (as determined by the applicable Managing Agent) as a result of (i) any reduction of any Portion of Loans other than on a date for which timely notice thereof was provided in accordance with Section 3.5 or (ii) any failure by a Borrower Party (for a reason ot
her than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to pay, prepay or borrow any Loan on the date or in the amount notified by such Borrower Party, or (iii) any failure by any Borrower Party to make payment on any drawing under any Letter of Credit (or interest due thereon) on its scheduled due date, and, in the case of an event described in clause (i) or (ii) to include: (a) an amount equal to any loss or expense suffered by the applicable Lender during the period from the date of receipt of such repayment to the applicable Settlement Date (or if in respect of a reduction on a Settlement Date but without the requisite notice required by Section 3.5, to the maturity date of such Commercial Paper (or other financing source)); and (b) net of the income, if any, actually received by the
recipient of such reduction from investing the proceeds of such reduction of such Portion of Loans.
4.6. Matters Applicable to all Requests for Compensation.
(a) Determination of Amount. A certificate of Administrative Agent or any Secured Party provided to Borrower claiming compensation under this Section 4 and setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. In determining such amount, Administrative Agent or such Secured Party may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.
(b) No Duplication. Any amount payable by the Borrower on account of Section 4.1, 4.4, or 4.5 shall not be duplicative of: (i) any amount paid under any other such sections, or (ii) any amounts included in the calculation of the LIBOR Rate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 4, Borrower Parties shall be required to compensate
the Lenders for amounts payable pursuant to Sections 4.1, 4.4 and 4.5 only to the extent Lenders are holding comparable borrowers liable for such amounts.
(c) Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 4.4, or if any Borrower Party is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 4.1, Borrower may replace such Lender in accordance with Section 14.14.
Revolving Credit Agreement
Acadia Strategic Opportunity Fund III LLC
(d) Refund. Any amount determined to be paid by the Borrower in error pursuant to this Section 4 shall be, if no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, promptly refunded to the Borrower, or applied to amounts owing hereunder, as the Borrower may elect.
(e) Survival. All of the Borrower Parties’ obligations under this Section 4 shall survive the termination of the Commitments and payment in full of all other Obligations hereunder.
4.7. Prohibited Event. In the event a Lender notifies the Administrative Agent that, subsequent to the Closing Date, such Lender or any of its Affiliates: (i) has become a fiduciary with respect to any ERISA Investor in connection with its investment in the Borrower, the Guarantor, the Pledgor or this transaction; or (ii) has acquired any discretionary authority or control with respect to any ERISA Investor’s investment in any Credit Party, or renders any investment advice (within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. §2510.3-21(c)) with respect to such investment, the parties hereby agree that the event described in clause (i) or (ii) above (the “Prohibited Event”) shall be deemed to have caused a prohibited transaction under Section 406(a) of ERISA or Section 4975(c)(1)(A), (B), (C) or (D) of the Code with respect to the transactions described in this Credit Agreement, and the parties to this Credit Agreement shall cooperate with each other to correct such prohibited transaction in accordance with Section 4975(f)(5) of the Co
de. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING IN THIS CREDIT AGREEMENT TO THE CONTRARY, any such correction shall prevent the Lender from receiving any direct or indirect fees, loan repayments, or any other benefits from such ERISA Investor. If the Administrative Agent determines at any time in its reasonable discretion that any of the corrections described herein are insufficient to correct the prohibited transaction in accordance with Section 4975(f)(5) of the Internal Revenue Code, then the parties shall also cooperate to replace such affected Lender.
5. SECURITY
5.1. Liens and Security Interest.
(a) Capital Commitments and Capital Calls. To secure performance by the Borrower Parties of the payment of each Note and the Obligations: (i) each of Borrower and Managing Member shall grant to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of each of the Secured Parties, an exclusive, perfected, first priority security interest and Lien in and to the Collateral Account pursuant to the Account Assignment; (ii) Borrower and Managing Member, to the extent of their respective interests therein, shall grant to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Secured Parties, an exclusive, perfected, first priority security interest and Lien in and to the Capital Call

7. ADDITIONAL ALTERNATE LENDER PROVISIONS
7.1. Assignment to Alternate Lenders.
(a) Assignment Amounts. At any time on or prior to the Stated Maturity Date, if the related Administrator on behalf of the applicable Conduit Lender so elects, by written notice to Administrative Agent, Borrower and its related Managing Agent, such Conduit Lender hereby assigns effective on the Assignment Date referred to below all or such portions as may be elected by such Conduit Lender of its interest in the Principal Obligation at such time to its Alternate Lenders pursuant to this Section 7.1; provided, however, that unless such as
signment is an assignment of all such Conduit Lender’s interest in the Principal Obligation in whole on or after its Conduit Investment Termination Date, no such assignment shall take place pursuant to this Section 7.1 if an Event of Default described in Section 12.1(n) shall then exist; and provided, further, that no such assignment shall take place pursuant to this Section 7.1 at a time when such Conduit Lender is subject to any proceedings under any Debtor Relief Laws. No further documentation or action on the part of such Conduit Lender, the Borrower, or the applicable Alternate Lenders shall be required to exercise the rights set forth in the immediat
ely preceding sentence, other than the giving of the notice by the related Administrator on behalf of such Conduit Lender referred to in such sentence and the delivery by the related Managing Agent of a copy of such notice to each Alternate Lender in the Lender Group (the date of the receipt by Administrative Agent of any such notice being the “Assignment Date”). Each Alternate Lender hereby agrees, unconditionally and irrevocably and under all circumstances, without set-off, counterclaim or defense of any kind, to pay the full amount of its Assignment Amount on such Assignment Date to such Conduit Lender in immediately available funds in Dollars based on the assigning Conduit Lender’s interest in the Principal Obligation, to an account designated by the related Managing Agent. Upon payment of its Assignment Amount, each such Alternate Lender shall acquire an interest in the Principal Obligatio
n equal to its Alternate Lender Pro Rata Share thereof. Upon any assignment in whole by a Conduit Lender to its Alternate Lenders on or after its Conduit Investment Termination Date as contemplated hereunder, such Conduit Lender shall cease to make any additional Loans hereunder. At all times prior to its Conduit Investment Termination Date, nothing herein shall prevent a Conduit Lender from making a subsequent Loan hereunder, in its sole discretion, following any assignment pursuant to this Section 7.1 or from making more than one assignment pursuant to this Section 7.1.
(b) Additional Assignment Amounts. The applicable Borrower Party may pay to Administrative Agent in Dollars, for the account of the related Managing Agent for the benefit of its Conduit Lender, in connection with any assignment by a Conduit Lender to its Alternate Lenders pursuant to this Section 7.1, an aggregate amount equal to all Yield to accrue through the end of the current Interest Period to the extent attributable to the portion of the Loans so assigned to the Alternate Lenders (as determined immediately prior to giving effect to such assignment), plus all Obligations then due, other
than the Loans and other than any Yield described above, attributable to such portion of the Loans so assigned. If the applicable Borrower Party does not make payment of such amounts at or prior to the time of assignment by a Conduit Lender to its Alternate Lenders, such amount shall be paid by such Alternate Lenders to the Conduit Lender as additional consideration for the interests assigned to the Alternate Lenders and the amount of the “Loans” hereunder held by such Alternate Lenders shall be increased by an amount equal to the additional amount so paid by such Alternate Lenders.

(c) Administration of Agreement after Assignment from Conduit Lender to Alternate Lenders following the Conduit Investment Termination Date. After any assignment in whole by a Conduit Lender to its Alternate Lenders pursuant to this Section 7.1 at any time on or after its Conduit Investment Termination Date (and the payment of all amounts owing to such Conduit Lender in connection therewith), all rights of the related Administrator and the related Conduit Collateral Agent set forth herein shall be given to the applicable Managing Agent on behalf of its Alternate Lenders instead of such Admini
strator and Conduit Collateral Agent.
(d) Payments to Administrative Agent. After any assignment in whole by a Conduit Lender to its Alternate Lenders pursuant to this Section 7.1 at any time on or after its Conduit Investment Termination Date, all payments to be made hereunder by a Borrower Party to Administrative Agent for the benefit of such Conduit Lender shall be made to the account specified by the applicable Managing Agent in writing to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Borrower Party.
(e) Recovery of Loans. In the event that the aggregate of the Assignment Amounts paid by the Alternate Lenders with respect to any Lender Group pursuant to this Section 7.1 on any Assignment Date occurring on or after the Conduit Investment Termination Date for the related Conduit Lender is less than the Loans of such Conduit Lender on such Assignment Date, then to the extent that payments or deposits thereafter received and applied by Administrative Agent with respect to such Lender Group under Section 3.4 in respect
of Loans exceed the aggregate of the unrecovered Assignment Amounts and Loans funded by such Alternate Lenders, such excess shall be remitted by Administrative Agent to the related Managing Agent.
7.2. Downgrade of Alternate Lender.
Revolving Credit Agreement
Acadia Strategic Opportunity Fund III LLC
(a) Downgrades Generally. If at any time on or prior to the Stated Maturity Date, the short-term debt rating of any Alternate Lender shall be “A-2” or “P-2” from S&P or Moody’s, respectively, with negative credit implications, such Alternate Lender, upon request of the related Managing Agent, shall, within thirty (30) days of such request, assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another financial institution (which institution’s short term debt shall be rated at least “A-2” or “P-2” from S&P or Moody’s, respectively, and which shall not be so rated with negative credit implications and which is acc
eptable to such Conduit Lender and such Managing Agent). If the short-term debt rating of such Alternate Lender shall be “A-3” or “P-3”, or lower, from S&P or Moody’s, respectively (or such rating shall have been withdrawn by S&P or Moody’s), such Alternate Lender, upon request of the related Managing Agent, shall, within five (5) Business Days of such request, assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another financial institution (which institution’s short-term debt shall be rated at least “A-2” or “P-2”, from S&P or Moody’s, respectively, and which shall not be so rated with negative credit implications and which is acceptable to such Conduit Lender and such Managing Agent). In either such case, if any such Alternate Lender shall not have assigned its rights and obligations under this Credit Agreement within the applicable time period described above (in either such case, the “Required Downgrade Assignment Period”), the Administrator on behalf of such Conduit Lender shall have the right to require such Alternate Lender to pay, in Dollars upon one (1) Business Day’s notice at any time after the Required Downgrade Assignment Period (and each such Alternate Lender hereby agrees in such event to pay within such time) to the applicable Managing Agent an amount equal to such Alternate Lender’s unused Commitment (without any deduction therefrom for such Alternate Lender’s share of the Letter of Credit Liability) (a “Downgrade Draw”) for deposit by such Managing Agent into an account, in the name of such Managing Agent (a “Downgrade Collateral Account”), which shall be in satisfaction of such Alternate Lender’s obligations t
o make Loans and to pay its Assignment Amount upon an assignment from such Conduit Lender in accordance with Section 7.1; provided, however, that if, during the Required Downgrade Assignment Period, such Alternate Lender delivers a written notice to such Managing Agent of its intent to deliver a direct pay irrevocable letter of credit pursuant to this proviso in lieu of the payment required to fund the Downgrade Draw, then such Alternate Lender will not be required to fund such Downgrade Draw. If any Alternate Lender gives the applicable Managing Agent such notice, then such Alternate Lender shall, within one (1) Business Day after the Required Downgrade Assignment Period, deliver to such Managing Agent a direct pay irrevocable letter of credit in favor of such Managing Agent issued in Dollars, in an amount equal to the unused portion of such Alternate Lender’s
Commitment (without any deduction therefrom for such Alternate Lender’s share of the Letter of Credit Liability), which letter of credit shall be issued through a United States office of a bank or other financial institution: (i) whose short-term debt ratings by S&P and Moody’s are at least equal to the ratings assigned by such statistical rating organization to the Commercial Paper; and (ii) that is acceptable to such Conduit Lender and such Managing Agent. Such letter of credit shall provide that such Managing Agent may draw thereon for payment of any Loan or Assignment Amount payable by such Alternate Lender which is not paid hereunder when required, shall expire no earlier than the Stated Maturity Date and shall otherwise be in form and substance acceptable to such Managing Agent. If on any date the amount on deposit in the Downgrade Collateral Account or the maximum stated amount under any letter of credit so provided is less than the applicable Alternat
e Lender’s share of the unused Commitment, upon one (1) Business Day’s notice, such Alternate Lender will pay the amount of such shortfall to the applicable Managing Agent for deposit into the Downgrade Collateral Account or provide a substitute or additional direct pay irrevocable letter of credit to cover such shortfall.

(b) Application of Funds in Downgrade Collateral Account. If any Alternate Lender in any Lender Group shall be required pursuant to subsection (a) to fund a Downgrade Draw, then the related Managing Agent shall apply the monies in the Downgrade Collateral Account applicable to such Alternate Lender’s share of Loans required to be made by the related Alternate Lenders, to any Assignment Amount payable by such Alternate Lender pursuant to Section 7.1 at the times, in the manner and subject to the conditions p
recedent set forth in this Credit Agreement. The deposit of monies in such Downgrade Collateral Account by any Alternate Lender shall not constitute a Loan or the payment of any Assignment Amount (and such Alternate Lender shall not be entitled to interest on such monies except as provided below in this Section 7.2(b)), unless and until (and then only to the extent that) such monies are used to fund Loans or to pay any Assignment Amount pursuant to this Section 7.2(b). The amount on deposit in such Downgrade Collateral Account shall be invested by the related Managing Agent in investments selected by such Managing Agent in its sole discretion and eligible in accordance with the applicable conduit program documents. Such Managing Agent shall remit to such Alternate Lender, on the last Business Day of each month, the i
nterest income actually received thereon. Unless required to be released as provided below in this subsection, payments or deposits received by such Managing Agent in respect of such Alternate Lender’s portion of the Loans shall be deposited in the Downgrade Collateral Account for such Alternate Lender. Amounts on deposit in such Downgrade Collateral Account shall be released to such Alternate Lender (or the stated amount of the letter of credit delivered by such Alternate Lender pursuant to subsection (a) above may be reduced) within one (1) Business Day after each Settlement Date following the Maturity Date to the extent that, after giving effect to the distributions made and received by the Lenders on such Settlement Date, the amount on deposit in such Downgrade Collateral Account would exceed the Alternate Lender’s Alternate Lender Pro Rata Share (determined as of the day prior to the Maturity Da
te) of the sum of all Portions of Loans then funded by the related Conduit Lender, plus the related Interest Component, plus such Alternate Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Letter of Credit Liability. All amounts remaining in such Downgrade Collateral Account shall be released to such Alternate Lender no later than the Business Day immediately following the earliest of: (i) the effective date of any replacement of such Alternate Lender or removal of such Alternate Lender as a party to this Credit Agreement; (ii) the date on which such Alternate Lender shall furnish the related Managing Agent with confirmation that such Alternate Lender shall have short term debt ratings of at least “A-2” or “P-2” from S&P and Moody’s, respectively, without negative credit implications; and (iii) th
e Stated Maturity Date. Nothing in this Section 7.2 shall affect or diminish in any way any such downgraded Alternate Lender’s Commitment to Borrower or its related Conduit Lender or such downgraded Alternate Lender’s other obligations and liabilities hereunder and under the other Loan Documents.

(c) Program Support Agreement Downgrade Provisions. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 7.2, an Alternate Lender shall not be required to make a Downgrade Draw (or provide for the issuance of a letter of credit in lieu thereof) pursuant to Section 7.2(a) at a time when such Alternate Lender has a downgrade collateral account (or letter of credit in lieu thereof) established pursuant to the Program Support Agreement to which it is a party in an amount at least equal to its Commitment, and the related M

13. AGENCY PROVISIONS
13.1. Appointment and Authorization of Agents.
(a) Authority. Each Lender (including any Person that is an assignee, participant, secured party or other transferee with respect to the interest of such Lender in any Principal Obligation or otherwise under this Credit Agreement) (collectively with such Lender, a “Lender Party”) hereby irrevocably appoints, designates and authorizes each Agent (other than a Managing Agent for a different Lender Group) to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to such Agent by the terms hereof and of the othe
r Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere herein and in any other Loan Documents, no Agent shall have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein and therein, nor shall any Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender Party, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or otherwise exist against any Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” herein and in the other Loan Documents with reference to any Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflec
t only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.

(b) Release of Collateral. The Secured Parties irrevocably authorize Administrative Agent, at Administrative Agent’s option and in its discretion, to release any security interest in or Lien on any Collateral granted to or held by Administrative Agent: (i) upon termination of this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, termination of the Commitments and all Letters of Credit (or the Cash Collateralization in full of all Letters of Credit), and payment in full of all Obligations, including all fees and indemnified costs and expenses that are then due and payable pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents; and (ii
) if approved by the requisite Lenders pursuant to the terms of Section 14.1. Upon the request of Administrative Agent, the Lenders will confirm in writing Administrative Agent’s authority to release particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 13.1(b).
(c) Limitation on Beneficiaries. The provisions of Sections 13.1 through 13.8 and Section 13.10 are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Letter of Credit Issuer and the other Secured Parties, and no Credit Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions.
13.2. Delegation of Duties. Each Agent may execute any of its duties under this Credit Agreement or under the other Loan Documents by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of legal counsel, accountants, and other professionals concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. No Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct.
13.3. Exculpatory Provisions. No Agent-Related Person shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it under or in connection herewith or in connection with any of the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or be responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any of the Credit Parties contained herein or in any of the other Loan Documents or in any certificate, report, document, financial statement or other written or oral statement referred to or provided for therein, or received by such Agent under or
in connection herewith or in connection with the other Loan Documents, or enforceability or sufficiency of this Credit Agreement of any of the other Loan Documents, or for any failure of any Credit Party to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. No Agent-Related Person shall be responsible to any Lender to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, conditions, provisions, covenants or agreements contained herein or in the other Loan Documents or as to the use of the proceeds of the Loans or the use of the Letters of Credit or of the existence or possible existence of any Potential Default or Event of Default or to inspect the properties, books or records of the Credit Parties. The Agents are not trustees for the Lenders and owe no fiduciary duty to the Lender Groups. Each Lender recognizes and agrees that Administrative Agent shall not be required to determine independently whether the conditions described in Sections 8.2(a) or 8.2(b) have been satisfied and, when Administrative Agent disburses funds to Borrower or a Qualified Borrower or the Letter of Credit Issuer causes Letters of Credit to be issued, it may rely fully upon statements contained in the relevant requests by a Borrower Party.

13.4. Reliance on Communications. The Agents shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any note, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, cablegram, telegram, facsimile, telex or telephone message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to any of the Credit Parties, independent accountants and other experts selected by the Agents with reasonable care). Each Agent may deem and trea
t each Lender as the owner of its interests hereunder for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 14.12(b). Each Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Credit Agreement or under any of the other Loan Documents unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Lenders as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Each Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders (or to the extent specifically required, all of the Lenders) and
such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders (including their successors and assigns).
13.5. Notice of Default. No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Potential Default or Event of Default hereunder unless such Agent has received notice from a Lender or a Borrower Party referring to the Loan Document, describing such Potential Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of potential default or event of default.” Each Agent will notify the Lenders of its receipt of any such notice, and Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Potential Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the requisite Lenders and as is permitted by th
e Loan Documents; provided, however, that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received any such request, Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Potential Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable or in the best interest of the Lenders.
13.6. Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Lenders. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that no Agent-Related Person or Arranger nor any of their officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by any Agent-Related Person or Arranger hereafter taken, including any consent to any acceptance of any assignment or review of the affairs of any Borrower Party or any of its Affiliates, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Agent-Related Person or Arranger to any Lender. Each Lender, including any Lender by assignment, represents to each Agent and Arran
ger that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person, any Arranger or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, assets, operations, property, financial and other conditions, prospects and creditworthiness of each Credit Party (or its Affiliates) and all applicable bank regulatory laws related to the transactions contemplated hereby and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Credit Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it shall, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person, any Arranger or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inf
orm itself as to the business, assets, operations, property, financial and other conditions, prospects and creditworthiness of any Borrower Party (or its Affiliates). Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by Administrative Agent hereunder, neither any Agent nor any Arranger shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, assets, property, financial or other conditions, prospects or creditworthiness of the Borrower Parties which may come into the possession of any Agent-Related Person or Arranger or any of their officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates.

13.7. Indemnification. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Alternate Lenders shall indemnify, upon demand, each Agent-Related Person (to the extent not reimbursed by a Borrower Party and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower Parties to do so), ratably in accordance with the applicable Alternate Lender’s respective Alternate Lender Pro Rata Share of its Lender Group’s Lender Group Percentage, and hold harmless each Agent-Related Person from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever which may at
any time (including without limitation at any time following payment in full of the Obligations) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against it in its capacity as such in any way relating to or arising out of this Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by it under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from such Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or related to another Lender Group’s Managing Agent; provided, further, that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Required Lenders or all Lenders, as applicable, shall be deemed to constitute gross negli
gence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section 13.7. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Alternate Lender shall reimburse Administrative Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuer and its Managing Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including Attorney Costs) incurred by such Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that such Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Borrower Parties.

ion of the Commitments, payment of all of the Obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein, as well as the resignation or replacement of any Agent.

Acadia Strategic Opportunity Fund III LLC
13.8. Agents in Their Individual Capacity. Each Agent (and any successor acting as an Agent) and its Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire equity interests in, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting or other business with any Credit Party (or any of its subsidiaries or Affiliates) as though such Agent were not an Agent or a Lender hereunder and without notice to or consent of the Lenders. The Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, any Agent or its Affiliates may receive information regarding the Credit Parties or their Affiliates (
including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of such Person) and acknowledge that such Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them. With respect to the Loans made and Letters of Credit issued and all obligations owing to it, an Agent acting in its individual capacity shall have the same rights and powers under this Credit Agreement as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include each Agent in its individual capacity.
13.9. Successor Agent. Any Agent may, at any time, resign upon twenty (20) days written notice to the Lenders and the Credit Parties. Upon any such resignation of the Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders shall appoint a successor Administrative Agent from any of the Alternate Lenders, in consultation with the Borrower. If no successor agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of the applicable Agent, then the retiring Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders and the Borrower, a successor Agent from any of the Alternate Lenders. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor agent hereunder
, such successor agent shall thereupon succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Agent, and shall assume the duties and obligations of such retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations as Agent under this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents. After any retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Section 13.9 and Sections 14.3 and 13.8 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was an Agent under this Credit Agreement. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Agent by the date which is thirty (30) days following a retiring Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Agent’s resignation shall
nevertheless thereupon become effective and the applicable Alternate Lenders shall perform all of the duties of the Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above.
13.10. No Other Duties, Etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, no Agent shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as Administrative Agent, a Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer hereunder.
13.11. Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Credit Party, Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or Letter of Credit Liability shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on Credit Parties) shall be entitled and empowered, by in
tervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Secured Party any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Secured Party or to authorize Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Secured Party in any such proceeding.

Revolving Credit Agreement
Acadia Strategic Opportunity Fund III LLC
Notwithstanding the fact that the consent of all the Lenders is required in certain circumstances as set forth above and in Section 11: (1) each Lender is entitled to vote as such Lender sees fit on any reorganization plan that affects the Loans or the Letters of Credit, and each Lender acknowledges that the provisions of Section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code supersede the unanimous consent provisions set forth herein; (2) the Required Lenders may consent to allow a Borrower Party to use cash collateral in the context of a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding; and (3) Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, agree to the modification or waiver of any of the other terms of this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent
to any action or failure to act by any Credit Party, if such modification, waiver, or consent is of an administrative nature.
If Administrative Agent shall request the consent of any Lender to any amendment, change, waiver, discharge, termination, consent or exercise of rights covered by this Credit Agreement, and not receive such consent or denial thereof in writing within ten (10) Business Days of the making of such request by Administrative Agent, as the case may be, such Lender shall be deemed to have given its consent to the request.
14.2. Setoff. In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Lender is authorized at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to any Credit Party or any other obligor, any such notice being waived by each Credit Party (on its own behalf and on behalf of each obligor) to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held by, and other indebtedness at any time owing by, such Lender to or for the credit or the account of any Credit Party against any and all
of the Obligations owing to such Lender, now or hereafter existing, irrespective of whether or not Administrative Agent or such Lender shall have made demand under this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such Obligations may be contingent or unmatured. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the applicable Credit Party and Administrative Agent after any such setoff and application made by such Lender; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.
14.3. Sharing of Payments. If, other than as expressly provided elsewhere herein, any Lender shall obtain on account of the Loans made by it or the participations in Letters of Credit held by it, any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of setoff, the receipt of any proceeds from a Capital Call or the exercise of any remedies under any Collateral Documents, or otherwise) in excess of its ratable share (or other share contemplated hereunder) thereof, such Lender shall immediately: (a) notify Administrative Agent of such fact; and (b) purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Loans made by them and/or such
subparticipations in the participations in Letters of Credit held by them, as the case may be, as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment in respect of such of Loans or such participations, as the case may be, pro rata with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from the purchasing Lender, such purchase shall to that extent be rescinded and each other Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price paid therefor, together with an amount equal to such paying Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of: (i) the amount that such paying Lender’s required repayment bears to; (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered.&
#160; Each Credit Party agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of setoff, but subject to Section 14.2) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Credit Parties in the amount of such participation. Administrative Agent will keep records (which shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error) of participations purchased under this Section 14.3 and will in each case notify the Lenders following any such purchases or repayments. Each Lender that purchases a participation pursuant to this Section shall from and after such purchase have the right to give all notices, requests, demands, directions and other communications under this C
redit Agreement with respect to the portion of the Obligations purchased to the same extent as though the purchasing Lender were the original owner of the Obligations purchased. To the extent required to implement the sharing of payments under this Section 14.3, each Lender hereby authorizes and directs Administrative Agent to distribute any proceeds from Capital Calls or proceeds from the exercise of remedies under the Collateral Documents held by Administrative Agent to Lenders consistent with the terms of this Section 14.3.

Acadia Strategic Opportunity Fund III LLC
14.4. Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any Credit Party makes a payment to Administrative Agent or any Lender, or Administrative Agent or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by Administrative Agent or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then: (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originall
y intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Alternate Lender severally agrees to pay to Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share of any amount so recovered from or repaid by Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect.
14.5. Waiver. No failure to exercise, and no delay in exercising, on the part of Administrative Agent or Lenders, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The rights and remedies of the Agents and Lenders hereunder and under the Loan Documents shall be in addition to all other rights provided by law. No modification or waiver of any provision of this Credit Agreement, the Notes or any of the other Loan Documents, nor consent to departure therefrom, shall be effective unless in writing and no such consent o
r waiver shall extend beyond the particular case and purpose involved. No notice or demand given in any case shall constitute a waiver of the right to take other action in the same, similar or other instances without such notice or demand. Subject to the terms of this Credit Agreement, including Section 14.1, Administrative Agent acting on behalf of all Lenders (pursuant to the terms hereof), and the Credit Parties may from time to time enter into agreements amending or changing any provision of this Credit Agreement or the rights of Lenders or the Credit Parties hereunder, or may grant waivers or consents to a departure from the due performance of the obligations of the Credit Parties hereunder, any such agreement, waiver or consent made with such written consent of Administrative Agent being effective to bind all Lenders.

(a) The provisions of this Credit Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that neither the Credit Parties nor any Qualified Borrower may assign or otherwise transfer any of their respective rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except: (i) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of clause (b) of this Section 14.12;

(b) Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees (each, an “Assignee”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Credit Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans (including for purposes of this clause (b), participations in Letter of Credit Liability) at the time owing to it); provided that: (i) except in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affili
ate of a Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to a Lender, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption Agreement with respect to such assignment is delivered to Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption Agreement, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than $2,500,000, and, after such assignment, no Lender shall hold a Commitment of less than $5,000,000; (ii) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Credit Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Commitment assigned; (iii) any assignment of a Commitment must be approved by Administrative Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuer, and, unless an Event of Default exists and is continuing,
Borrower (such approval, in each case, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), unless the Person that is the proposed assignee is itself a Program Support Provider or a Lender (whether or not the proposed assignee would otherwise qualify as an Eligible Assignee); (iv) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption Agreement, together with a processing and recordation fee as set forth on Schedule 14.12(b) (except in the case of a transfer at the demand of Borrower under Section 14.12 hereof, in which case either Borrower or the transferee Lender shall pay such fee); and (v) each assignment made as a result of a demand by Borrower under Section 14.12 hereof shall be arranged by Borrower after co
nsultation with Administrative Agent and shall be either an assignment of all of the rights and obligations of the assigning Lender under this Credit Agreement or an assignment of a portion of such rights and obligations made concurrently with another assignment or assignments that together constitute an assignment of all of the rights and obligations of the assigning Lender. Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by Administrative Agent pursuant to clause (e) of this Section 14.12, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption Agreement, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Credit Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption Agreement, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Credit Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereu
nder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption Agreement, be released from its obligations under this Credit Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption Agreement covering all of the assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this Credit Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 4.1, 4.4, 4.5 and 14.6 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment). Upon request, each applicable Borrower Party (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the Managing Agent of the assignee, and the applicable existing Note
or Notes shall be returned to the applicable Borrower Party.

(c) Without limiting the foregoing, a Conduit Lender may, from time to time, with prior or concurrent notice to Borrower and the Administrative Agent, in one transaction or a series of transactions, assign all or a portion of its interest in the Principal Obligation and its rights and obligations under this Agreement and any other Loan Documents to which it is a party to a Conduit Assignee. Upon and to the extent of such assignment by the Conduit Lender to a Conduit Assignee, (i) such Conduit Assignee shall be the owner of the assigned portion of the Principal Obligation, (ii) the related administrator for such Conduit Assignee will act as the Administrator for such Conduit Assignee, with all corresponding rights and powe
rs, express or implied, granted to the Administrator hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, (iii) such Conduit Assignee (and any related commercial paper issuer, if such Conduit Assignee does not itself issue commercial paper) and their respective Program Support Provider(s) and other related parties shall have the benefit of all the rights and protections provided to the Conduit Lender and its Program Support Provider(s) herein and in the other Loan Documents (including any limitation on recourse against such Conduit Assignee or related parties, any agreement not to file or join in the filing of a petition to commence an insolvency proceeding against such Conduit Assignee, and the right to assign to another Conduit Assignee as provided in this paragraph), (iv) such Conduit Assignee shall assume all (or the assigned or assumed portion) of the Conduit Lender’s obligations, if any, hereunder or any other Loan Document, and the Conduit Lender shall be released from such obligations, in each case to
the extent of such assignment, and the obligations of the Conduit Lender and such Conduit Assignee shall be several and not joint, (v) all distributions in respect of the Principal Obligation assigned shall be made to the applicable Managing Agent, on behalf of the Conduit Lender and such Conduit Assignee on a pro rata basis according to their respective interests, (vi) the definition of the term “CP Rate” with respect to the portion of the Principal Obligation funded with commercial paper issued by the Conduit Lender from time to time shall be determined in the manner set forth in the definition of “CP Rate” applicable to the Conduit Lender on the basis of the interest rate or discount applicable to commercial paper issued by such Conduit Assignee (or the related commercial paper issuer, if such Conduit Assignee does not itself issue commercial paper) rather than the Conduit Lender, (vii) the defined terms and other terms and p
rovisions of this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be interpreted in accordance with the foregoing, and (viii) if requested by the Managing Agent or Administrator with respect to the Conduit Assignee, the parties will execute and deliver such further agreements and documents and take such other actions as the Managing Agent or such Administrator may reasonably request to evidence and give effect to the foregoing. No assignment by the Conduit Lender to a Conduit Assignee of all or any portion of its interest in the Principal Obligation shall in any way diminish the related Alternate Lenders’ obligation under Section 2.3 to fund any Loan not funded by the Conduit Lender or such Conduit Assignee or to acquire from the Conduit Lender or such Conduit Assignee all or any portion of its interest in the Principal Obligation pursuant to Se
ction 7.1.

(d) In the event that a Conduit Lender makes an assignment to a Conduit Assignee in accordance with clause (c) above, the related Alternate Lenders: (i) if requested by the related Administrator, shall terminate their participation in the applicable Program Support Agreement to the extent of such assignment, (ii) if requested by the related Administrator, shall execute (either directly or through a participation agreement, as determined by such Administrator) the program support agreement related to such Conduit Assignee, to the extent of such assignment, the terms of which shall be substantially similar to those of the participation or other agreement enter
ed into by such Alternate Lender with respect to the applicable Program Support Agreement (or which shall be otherwise reasonably satisfactory to the related Administrator), (iii) if requested by such Conduit Lender, shall enter into such agreements as requested by the Conduit Lender pursuant to which they shall be obligated to provide funding to such Conduit Assignee on the same terms and conditions as is provided for in this Agreement in respect of such Conduit Lender (or which agreements shall be otherwise reasonably satisfactory to Borrower and such Conduit Lender), and (iv) shall take such actions as the Administrator shall reasonably request in connection therewith.
(e) Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Credit Parties, shall maintain at Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption Agreement delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans and Letter of Credit Liability owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and each Credit Party, Administrative Agent, Agents and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is record
ed in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Credit Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection and copying by the Credit Parties, any Agent and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Upon the consummation of any assignment in accordance with this Section 14.12, Schedule 14.12(b) shall automatically be deemed amended (to the extent required) by Administrative Agent to reflect the name and address of the applicable Assignee.
(f) Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, any Credit Party or Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person or any Credit Party or any Affiliate thereof) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Credit Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans (including such Lender’s participations in Letter of Credit Liability) owing to it); provided that: (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Credit Agreement shall remain unchanged; (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsi
ble to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations; and (iii) each Credit Party, Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Credit Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Credit Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Credit Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in Section 14.1(a), 14.1(b)(ii) or 14.1(b)(v) that directly affects such Participant. Subject to clause (g) of this Section 14.12, each Borrower Party agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 4.1, 4.4 and 4.5 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to clause (b) of this Section 14.12. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of t
he right of setoff under application law as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Sections 14.2 and 14.3 as though it were a Lender.
Revolving Credit Agreement
Acadia Strategic Opportunity Fund III LLC
(g) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 4.1 or 4.4 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with Borrower’s prior written consent.
(h) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Credit Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time Bank of America assigns all of its Commitment and Loans pursuant to clause (b) above, Bank of America may, upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Borrower Parties and the Lenders, resign as Administrative Agent and Letter of Credit Issuer. In the event of any such resignation, Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor Administrative Agent and Letter of Credit Issuer hereunder (subject, except when an Event of Default exists, to the consent of Borrower, not to be unreasonably withheld); provided, ho
wever, that no failure by Lenders to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of Bank of America as Letter of Credit Issuer and Administrative Agent. If Bank of America resigns as Letter of Credit Issuer and Administrative Agent, it shall retain all the rights and obligations of the Letter of Credit Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as Letter of Credit Issuer and all Letter of Credit Liability with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to fund payment of any amount drawn under a Letter of Credit issued by Bank of America as Letter of Credit Issuer hereunder.

14.13. Lender Default. If for any reason any Lender shall fail or refuse to abide by its obligations hereunder, and such Lender shall not have cured such failure or refusal within five (5) Business Days of its occurrence (a “Lender Default”), then, in addition to the rights and remedies that may be available to Administrative Agent, Lenders, or any Borrower Party at law or in equity, such Lender’s right to vote on matters related to this Credit Agreement, and to participate in the administration of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, and this Credit Agreement, shall be suspende
d. Administrative Agent shall have the right, but not the obligation, in its sole discretion, to acquire at par all of such Lender’s Commitment, including its Pro Rata Share in the Obligations under this Credit Agreement. In the event that Administrative Agent does not exercise its right to so acquire all of such Lender’s interests, then each Lender that is not a Defaulting Alternate Lender (each, a “Current Party”) shall then, thereupon, have the right, but not the obligation, in its sole discretion to acquire at par (or if more than one Current Party exercises such right, each Current Party shall have the right to acquire, pro rata) such Lender’s Commitment, including its Pro Rata Share in the outstanding Obligations under this Credit Agreement.
14.14. Replacement of Lender. Following a demand by an Alternate Lender for payment of any amounts under Section 4.1 or 4.3, or if any Alternate Lender is a Defaulting Alternate Lender (in either case, an “Affected Lender”), Borrower may elect to replace such Affected Lender as an Alternate Lender party to this Credit Agreement with an Eligible Assignee procured by Borrower, provided
that no Potential Default nor Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement, and provided further that, concurrently with such replacement such Eligible Assignee shall agree to purchase for cash the Loans and other Obligations due to the Affected Lender pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption Agreement and to become an Alternate Lender for all purposes under this Credit Agreement and to assume all obligations of the Affected Lender to be terminated as of such date. Any such Affected Lender shall assign its rights and interests hereunder, such assignment to be effected in compliance with the requirements of Section 14.12(b) hereof. In the event that such an assignment occurs, the Eligible Assignee (i) if requested by the applicable Administrator, shall execute (either directly or through a participation agre
ement, as determined by the Administrator) a Program Support Agreement related to the applicable Conduit Lender, to the extent of such assignment, the terms of which shall be substantially similar to those of the participation or other agreement by the assigning Alternate Lender with respect to the applicable Program Support Agreement (or which shall be otherwise reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Administrator), and (ii) shall take such actions as the Agents shall reasonably request in connection therewith.
14.15. Maximum Interest. Regardless of any provision contained in any of the Loan Documents, Lenders shall never be entitled to receive, collect or apply as interest on the Obligations any amount in excess of the Maximum Rate, and, in the event that Lenders ever receive, collect or apply as interest any such excess, the amount which would be excessive interest shall be deemed to be a partial prepayment of principal and treated hereunder as such; and, if the principal amount of the Obligations is paid in full, any remaining excess shall forthwith be paid to the applicable Borrower Party. In determining whether or not the interest paid or payable under any sp
ecific contingency exceeds the Maximum Rate, each Borrower Party and Lenders shall, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law: (a) characterize any nonprincipal payment as an expense, fee or premium rather than as interest; (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof; and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate and spread, in equal parts, the total amount of interest throughout the entire contemplated term of the Obligations so that the interest rate does not exceed the Maximum Rate; provided that, if the Obligations are paid and performed in full prior to the end of the full contemplated term thereof, and if the interest received for the actual period of existence thereof exceeds the Maximum Rate, Lenders shall refund to the applicable Borrower Party the amount of such excess or credit the amount of such excess against the principal amount of the Obligations and, in such event, Lenders shall not be subject to any penalt
ies provided by any laws for contracting for, charging, taking, reserving or receiving interest in excess of the Maximum Rate. As used herein, the term “applicable law” shall mean the law in effect as of the date hereof; provided, however, that in the event there is a change in the law which results in a higher permissible rate of interest, then the Loan Documents shall be governed by such new law as of its effective date.

14.16. Headings. Section headings are for convenience of reference only and shall in no way affect the interpretation of this Credit Agreement.
14.17. Survival. All representations and warranties made by the Credit Parties and the Qualified Borrowers herein shall survive delivery of the Notes, the making of the Loans and the issuance of the Letters of Credit.
14.18. Integration. This Credit Agreement is intended by the parties as the final, complete and exclusive statement of the transactions evidenced by this Credit Agreement. All prior or contemporaneous promises, agreements and understandings, whether oral or written, are deemed to be superseded by this Credit Agreement, and no party is relying on any promise, agreement or understanding not set forth in this Credit Agreement.
14.19. Limited Liability of Investors. Except with respect to any expenses and losses arising from any Credit Party’s intentional misrepresentation hereunder, fraud or willful misapplication of proceeds in contravention of this Credit Agreement, for which there shall be full recourse to such Credit Party, none of the Investors, including the Managing Member, shall have any personal, partnership, corporate or trust liability for the payment or performance of the Obligations. Nothing contained in this Section 14.19 or in any of the other provisions of the Loan Documents sha
ll be construed to limit, restrict, or impede the obligations, the liabilities, and indebtedness of Borrower, or of any Investor to make its Capital Contributions to Borrower, Managing Member, Guarantor or Pledgor, in accordance with the terms of the Operating Agreement, Partnership Agreement or the Stockholders Agreement, as applicable, or pursuant to the terms of such Investor’s Investor Letter. Nothing contained in this Section 14.19 shall be deemed to expressly or implicitly limit or modify the liability of each Qualified Borrower to Lenders under the Qualified Borrower Notes; provided, however, that such liability shall not extend beyond such Qualified Borrower and its properties and assets. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 14.19, the payment
and performance of the Obligations shall be fully recourse to each Borrower Party and the payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be fully recourse to the Guarantor and, in each case, their properties and assets.

mitation, all rights to make, receive and enforce all of each Borrower's and Managing Member's right, title and interest, whether now existing of hereafter created or arising, in and to the Collateral Account maintained with Bank of America, N.A., either generally or specifically by name, account number and/or ABA number, and all sums now or at any time hereafter on deposit therein, credited thereto or payable thereon, all proceeds and products thereof, and all instruments, documents, certificates, and other writings evidencing such collateral accounts, and all proceeds of all of the foregoing.
In order to secure further the payment and the performance of the Obligations, Borrower and Managing Member shall execute such forms, authorizations, documents and instruments, and do such other things, as Administrative Agent shall request, in order to require that all Investors deliver directly to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Secured Parties all monies or sums paid or to be paid by them as and when Capital Calls are made pursuant to the Operating Agreement. Administrative Agent, on behalf of Secured Parties, is hereby authorized, in its own name or the name of Borrower or Managing Member, at any time upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, to notify any or all parties obligated to Borrower with respect to the Capital Contributions to make all payments due or to become due thereon directly
to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Secured Parties at a different account than that specified in the Credit Agreement, or to initiate one or more Capital Calls in order to pay the Obligations or for any other purpose contemplated by the Credit Agreement (which Capital Calls may be in excess of the amount owing under the Credit Agreement if required in order to comply with ERISA or otherwise result in payment in full of the Obligations). With or without such general notification, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Administrative Agent, on behalf of Secured Parties, may: (i) take or bring in Borrower's or Managing Member's name or that of Administrative Agent for the benefit of Secured Parties all steps, actions, suits or proceedings reasonably deemed by Administrative Agent necessary or desirable to effect possession or collection of payments; (ii) complete any contract or agreement of Borrower in any way related to any of the Capital Calls; (iii) make allowances
or adjustments related to the Capital Calls; (iv) compromise any claims related to the Capital Calls; or (v) issue credit in its own name or the name of Borrower or Managing Member. Regardless of any provision hereof, IN THE ABSENCE OF GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT by Administrative Agent or Secured Parties, or both, neither Administrative Agent nor Secured Parties shall be liable for the failure of Administrative Agent to collect or exercise diligence in the collection, possession or any transaction concerning, all or part of the Capital Calls or sums due or paid thereon, nor shall Administrative Agent or Secured Parties be under any obligation whatsoever to anyone by virtue of the security interests and liens granted herein.
Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, issuance by Administrative Agent, on behalf of Secured Parties, of a receipt to any person obligated to pay any Capital Contributions to Borrower shall be a full and complete release, discharge and acquittance of such person to the extent of any amount so paid to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Secured Parties. Administrative Agent, on behalf of Secured Parties, is hereby authorized and empowered, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, on behalf of Borrower and Managing Member to endorse the name of Borrower or Managing Member, or both, upon any check, draft, instrument, receipt, instruction or other document or item, including, but not limited to, all items evidencing payment upon a Capital Contribution of any person to Borrower coming into Administrative Agent's or any Secured Party's possession, and to receive and apply the proceeds therefrom in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement.
Administrative Agent, on behalf of Secured Parties, is hereby granted an irrevocable power of attorney, which is coupled with an interest, to execute all checks, drafts, receipts, instruments, instructions or other documents, agreements or items on behalf of Borrower or Managing Member, or both, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, as shall be deemed by Administrative Agent to be necessary or advisable, in the sole discretion, reasonably exercised, of Administrative Agent, to protect the security interests and Liens herein granted or the repayment of the Obligations, and neither Administrative Agent nor any Secured Party shall incur any liability in connection with or arising from the exercise of such authority and power, except as a result of gross negligence or willful misconduct.
2. Warranties and Covenants. Borrower and Managing Member hereby warrant to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Secured Parties and covenant and agree with Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties as follows:
a. That Borrower is the sole legal and equitable owner of the Capital Commitments and the Capital Contributions (with respect to its members) and has the authority to execute this Security Agreement, and this Security Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Borrower enforceable in accordance with the terms hereof, subject to Debtor Relief Laws and to general principles of equity; and that Managing Member is the sole, legal and equitable owner and holder of the right to issue Capital Call Notices and to make Capital Calls (with respect to its members) (other than the Administrative Agent) and has the authority to execute this Security Agreement, and this Security Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Managing Membe

c. That Borrower and Managing Member have received direct or indirect benefit from the Loans evidenced by the Notes; and that the grant of the security interest in the Collateral hereunder was a condition to the granting of such loans;
d. That Borrower and Managing Member shall, at their respective sole cost and expense, execute and deliver any financing statements or other documents which Administrative Agent reasonably requests to protect or perfect the assignment, pledge, transfer and grant of the security interest made herein;

h. That neither Borrower nor the Managing Member shall: (i) issue any Capital Call Notice(s) other than as contemplated by Section 5.2 of the Credit Agreement; (ii) cancel or reduce the Capital Commitment of any of its equity holders or any Investor under the Operating Agreement other than with the consent of Secured Parties as required by the Credit Agreement; or (iii) excuse any of its equity holders or any Investor from making any Capital Contribution pursuant to the Operating Agreement if the proceeds from the related Capital Call are to be applied to the Obligations.
3. Remedies Upon Event of Default.
a. When an Event of Default exists, Administrative Agent, on behalf of Secured
Parties, shall have the following rights with respect to the Collateral:
|
i.
|
To sell the Collateral or any part thereof, upon giving at least ten (10) days' prior notice to Borrower and Managing Member of the time and place of sale (which notice Borrower, Managing Member and Administrative Agent agree is commercially reasonable), for cash or upon credit or for future delivery, Borrower and Managing Member hereby waive all rights, if any, to require Administrative Agent to marshal the Collateral and any other security for the Obligation, and at the option and in the complete discretion of Administrative Agent, either:
|
A. at public sale; or
B. at private sale, in which event such notice shall also contain the terms of the proposed sale, and Borrower and Managing Member shall have until the time of such proposed sale in which to redeem the Collateral or to procure a purchaser willing, ready and able to purchase the Collateral on terms more favorable to Borrower, Managing Member, Secured Parties and the holders of the Notes, and if such a purchaser is so procured, then Administrative Agent shall sell the Collateral to the purchaser so procured; and
ii. To bid for and to acquire, unless prohibited by applicable law, free from any redemption right, the Collateral, or any part thereof, and, if Secured Parties are then the holders of the Obligations or any participation or other interest therein, in lieu of paying cash therefor, Administrative Agent on behalf of Secured Parties may make settlement for the selling price by crediting the net selling price, if any, after deducting all costs and expenses of every kind, upon the outstanding principal amount of the Obligations, in such order and manner as Administrative Agent on behalf of Secured Parties, in its discretion, may deem advisable. Administrative Agent for the benefit of Secured Parties, upon so acquiring the Collateral, or any part thereof, shall be enti
tled to hold or otherwise deal with or dispose of the same in any manner not prohibited by applicable law; and
iii. To enforce any other remedy available to Administrative Agent on behalf of Secured Parties at law or in equity.
From time to time Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, postpone the time and change the place of any proposed sale of any of the Collateral for which notice has been given as provided above if, in the judgment of Administrative Agent, such postponement or change is necessary or appropriate in order that the provisions of this Security Agreement applicable to such sale may be fulfilled or in order to obtain more favorable conditions under which such sale may take place. Administrative Agent shall give Borrower and Managing Member reasonable notice of such change.
b. In case of any sale by Administrative Agent of any of the Collateral on credit, which may be elected at the option and in the complete discretion of Administrative Agent, on behalf of Secured Parties, the Collateral so sold may be retained by Administrative Agent for the benefit of Secured Parties until the selling price is paid by the purchaser, but neither Administrative Agent nor Secured Parties shall incur any liability in case of failure of the purchaser to take up and pay for the Collateral so sold. In case of any such failure, such Collateral so sold may be again similarly sold. After deducting all costs or expenses of every kind (including, without limitation, the reasonable attorneys' fees and legal expenses incurred by Administrative Agent or Secured Partie
s, or both), Administrative Agent shall apply the residue of the proceeds of any sale or sales, if any, to pay the principal of and interest upon the Obligations in such order and manner as Administrative Agent in its discretion may deem advisable. The excess, if any, shall be paid to Borrower. Neither Administrative Agent Secured Parties shall incur any liability as a result of the sale of the Collateral at any private sale or sales.
c. Subject to Section 14.19 of the Credit Agreement, Administrative Agent and Secured Parties shall have all rights, remedies and recourse granted in the Credit Agreement, the Notes, the Loan Documents and any other instrument executed to provide security for or in connection with the payment and performance of the Obligations or existing at common law or equity (including specifically those granted by the Uniform Commercial Code, as adopted in New York and any other state which governs the creation or perfection (and the effect thereof) of any security interest in the Collateral), and
such rights and remedies: (i) shall be cumulative and concurrent; (ii) may be pursued separately, successively or concurrently against Borrower and Managing Member and any other party obligated under the Obligations, or against the Collateral, or any of such Collateral, or any other security for the Obligations, or any of them, at the sole discretion of Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties; (iii) may be exercised as often as occasion therefor shall arise, it being agreed by Borrower and Managing Member that the exercise or failure to exercise any of same shall in no event be construed as a waiver or release thereof or of any other right, remedy or recourse; and (iv) are intended to be and shall be, non-exclusive.
d. Notwithstanding a foreclosure upon any of the Collateral or exercise of any other remedy by Administrative Agent on behalf of Secured Parties in connection with an Event of Default: (i) neither Borrower nor Managing Member shall be subrogated thereby to any rights of Administrative Agent for the benefit of Secured Parties against the Collateral or any other security for the Obligations, or Borrower or Managing Member or any property of Borrower or Managing Member; (ii) nor shall Borrower or Managing Member be deemed to be the owner of any interest in the Obligations; (iii) nor shall Borrower or Managing Member exercise any rights or remedies with respect to Borrower or Managing Member or the Collateral or any other security for the Obligations or any of them or th
e property of Borrower or Managing Member until the Obligations have been paid to Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties and are fully and indefeasibly performed and discharged.
e. All recitals in any instrument of assignment or any other instrument executed by Administrative Agent for the benefit of Secured Parties or by Secured Parties incident to the sale, transfer, assignment or other disposition or utilization of the Collateral or any part thereof hereunder shall be full proof of the matters stated therein and no other proof shall be required to establish full legal propriety of the sale or other action taken by Administrative Agent for the benefit of Secured Parties or by Secured Parties or of any fact, condition or thing incident thereto, and all prerequisites of such sale or other action shall be presumed conclusively to have been performed or to have occurred.

No waiver by the Secured Parties of any default shall be deemed to be a waiver of any other subsequent default, nor shall any such waiver by the Secured Parties be deemed to be a continuing waiver. No delay or omission by the Secured Parties in exercising any right or power hereunder, or under any other writings executed by Assignor as security for or in connection with the Obligations, shall impair any such right or power or be construed as a waiver thereof or any acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power preclude other or further exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other right or power of
the Secured Parties hereunder or under such other writings.

No provision herein or in any promissory note, instrument, or any other loan document evidencing the Obligations shall require the payment or permit the collection of interest in excess of the maximum permitted by law. If any excess of interest in such respect is provided for herein or in any such promissory note, instrument, or any other loan document, the provisions of this paragraph shall govern, and the Assignor shall not be obligated to pay the amount of such interest to the extent that it is in excess of the amount permitted by law. The intention of the parties being to conform strictly to the usury laws now in force, all promissory notes, instruments, and other loan documents evidencing the Obligations shall be held subject to reduction to the amount allowed under said usury laws as now or hereafter construed by the courts having jurisdiction.

The records of the Depository have been marked to show the Assignment. The Depository hereby acknowledges that the Collateral Account, as described in the Assignment, has been validly created by the Depository in favor of Assignor.
Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary in any other agreement between the Depository and the Assignor and/or the Administrative Agent, the Depository agrees that if at any time it shall receive any instructions directing deposition of funds in the Account from the Administrative Agent, the Depository shall comply with such instructions without further consent by the Assignor. In the event the Assignor is permitted to give instructions with respect to the Account, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any other agreement between the Depository and the Assignor and/or the Administrative Agent, if at the time the Depository shall receive conflicting instructions from the Assignor and the Administrative Agent, the Depository shall follow the instructions of the Administrative Agent and not the Assignor.
The Depository hereby subordinates any and all rights of set-off and all other rights and Liens of the Depository against the Collateral Account to the rights, security interests, and Liens under the Assignment, and agrees that, so long as the Obligation remains outstanding, Depository shall not, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent may be withheld by the Administrative Agent in its sole and absolute discretion, with or without cause, exercise or enforce any rights or remedies with respect to the Collateral Account except as required to preserve its rights in the case of bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency proceedings with respect to the Assignor, and except that the Depository may charge the Collateral Account for any charges, fees and expenses for which Assignor is responsible and which r
elate to the transactions contemplated by the Assignment or the Credit Agreement referred to therein.
The Depository may rely upon and shall be fully protected, indemnified and held harmless in acting or refraining from acting upon any notice (including, without limitation, electronically confirmed facsimiles of such notice) received from the Assignee or the Assignor (including, without limitation, any notice of an Event of Default or Special Default as defined in the Assignment or the Credit Agreement referred to in the Assignment) and believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties.
The Depository further agrees to provide Assignee with copies of all notices and records sent to Assignor relating to the Collateral Account, and will deliver to Assignee all monthly (or other periodic) statements of the Collateral Account and respond to inquiries by Assignee about any deposits, withdrawals or any other matters relating to the Collateral Account, to the same extent Depository makes such information available to the Collateral Account holder, and Assignor hereby acknowledges and consents to such agreement by Depository.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
In order to induce Lenders to provide the Credit Facility to Borrower, the undersigned hereby acknowledges and agrees as follows:
We have entered into that certain Stockholders Agreement by and among Investor, Yale University, The Vanderbilt University, Carnegie Corporation of New York, Gloster III, LLC, The Board of Trustees of the Leland Stanford Junior University, The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania, The Regents of the University of Michigan, Gordon E. and Betty I. Moore Foundation, Morris Ventures, Makena Capital Holdings Prime, L.P, Clarendon Investment Partners II, LP and The Owen Family Trust, dated as of May 15, 2007 (as the same may be further modified, amended, or restated from time to time, the "Stockholders Agreement"; all capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings asc
ribed thereto in the Stockholders Agreement) pursuant to which we have (i) purchased shares of stock in Investor, which is a member in Borrower and (ii) committed to make cash contributions of capital ("Capital Contributions") to Investor on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Stockholders Agreement in the aggregate amount of $[ ] (our "Capital Commitment"), which Capital Contributions are to be contributed by Investor to Borrower pursuant to the terms of the Operating Agreement.
As of the date hereof, $[______________] of our Capital Commitment has been called, $____________, of our Capital Commitment remains to be drawn upon the delivery of one or more Drawdown Notices pursuant to and in accordance with the Stockholders Agreement.
We hereby agree that we shall deliver to Administrative Agent from time to time upon the request of Managing Member, Investor or Administrative Agent a certificate setting forth the remaining amount of our Capital Commitment which we are obligated to fund (the "Unfunded Capital Commitment").
We hereby acknowledge and agree that under the terms of and subject to the conditions set forth in the Stockholders Agreement, we are and shall remain unconditionally obligated to fund our Unfunded Capital Commitment required on account of calls for Capital Contributions duly made in accordance with the terms of the Stockholders Agreement (including, without limitation, subsequent calls for Capital Contributions made in connection with a shortfall in funds available to Borrower as a result of the failure of any other Stockholder or Managing Member to advance funds with respect to a call for Capital Contributions duly made). In addition, we hereby acknowledge and confirm to Administrative Agent, Lenders, Managing Member and Investor that we will make Capital Contributions to the extent of our Unfunded Capital Commitment, to be applied t
o the repayment of outstanding obligations under the Credit Agreement, whether such Capital Contributions are called by Managing Member, Investor or Administrative Agent for such purpose on behalf of Managing Member and Investor (whether or not any Person is then acting as Managing Member for Borrower or Manager for Investor) without, defense, counterclaim or offset of any kind, including without limitation any defense under Section 365 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, all of which we hereby waive. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Stockholders Agreement or Operating Agreement, we hereby acknowledge and agree that (i) our obligation to fund our Unfunded Capital Commitment as and when requested by Administrative Agent is unconditional and (ii) Administrative Agent shall not be required to state any specific purpose or use of funds, deliver any supporting documentation whatsoever or comply with any formalities when making a Drawdown on our Unfunded Capital Commitment, except that such Drawdown must b
e made in writing.
We hereby (i) acknowledge that Borrower, Managing Member and Investor, pursuant to the terms of the Stockholders Agreement and the Credit Agreement are making a collateral assignment to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Lenders of (i) our Capital Contributions; and the right to issue Drawdown Notices and call and receive all payments of all or any portion of our Unfunded Capital Commitment under the Stockholders Agreement to secure all loans and other extensions of credit made under the Credit Facility and all other obligations of Borrower under the Credit Agreement and the other an Documents (as defined in the Credit Agreement), (ii) represent that as of the date hereof, (A) to the best of our knowledge there is no default or circumstance which with the passage of time and/or the giving of notice would constitute a default under
the Operating Agreement or the Stockholders Agreement, (B) the Stockholders Agreement has not been modified or amended except for the amendment referred to above and is in full force and effect and enforceable against the undersigned in accordance with its terms and (C) we do not have any right of offset against, or reduction to, our obligation to fund our Unfunded Capital Commitment, (iii) acknowledge that for so long as the Credit Facility is in place we will not amend, modify, supplement, cancel, terminate, reduce or suspend any of the provisions of the Stockholders Agreement or the Operating Agreement relating to the Capital Commitments, the making of Capital Contributions or the incurrence of indebtedness or any other provisions that would adversely affect the rights of Administrative Agent or Lenders without your prior written consent and (iv) acknowledge that until otherwise instructed by Administrative Agent in writi
ng, all future Capital Contributions made by us under the Stockholders Agreement will be made by wire transfer to the following account opened and maintained by Borrower with the Administrative Agent (the "Collateral Account") which Borrower has also pledged as security for the Obligations (as such term is defined in the Credit Agreement):

[Add to Yale and Gloster acknowledgments: The language/side letter/guarantees from the Acadia II transaction.]
We hereby acknowledge that for so long as the Credit Agreement is in effect, we are obligated, under the terms and subject to the limitations and conditions set forth in the Stockholders Agreement, to honor any Drawdown Notice delivered to us in the name of the Administrative Agent on behalf of Lenders, without setoff, counterclaim or defense by funding the applicable portion of our Capital Commitment into the Collateral Account, provided such Drawdown Notice is delivered for the purpose of paying due and payable obligations of the Borrower to Lenders under the Credit Facility and states on its face that it is delivered for such purpose.
We understand that Lenders and Administrative Agent will be relying upon the statements and agreements made herein in connection with making the Credit Facility available to Borrower and, accordingly hereby acknowledge that Capital Contributions we make under the Stockholders Agreement will not satisfy our obligation to fund our Capital Commitment unless such Capital Contributions are paid into the above account (unless we are otherwise instructed by Administrative Agent as described above). We hereby acknowledge that the terms of the Credit Agreement and of each other Loan Document (as defined therein) can be modified without further notice to us or our consent. In addition, we understand that the Credit Agreement and this Investor Letter shall be for the benefit of Administrative Agent, Lenders, and Lenders' successors and assigns,
and that this Investor Letter will remain in effect until we are notified jointly by Administrative Agent and Managing Member that the Credit Facility has been terminated.

To the extent that we may hereafter be entitled, in any jurisdiction in which judicial proceedings may at any time be commenced with respect to the Stockholders Agreement, or this Investor Letter to claim any such immunity, and to the extent that in any s

nable or unjustifiable impairment) of any collateral for the Guaranteed Debt; (g) the failure of Creditor properly to obtain, perfect or preserve any security interest or lien in any such collateral; (h) the failure of Creditor to exercise diligence, commercial reasonableness or reasonable care in the preservation, enforcement or sale of any such collateral; and (i) any other act or omission of Creditor or Qualified Borrower which would otherwise constitute or create a legal or equitable defense in favor of Guarantor.
4. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Borrower Guaranty, until the Guaranteed Debt has been paid in full, Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives all rights it may have at law or in equity (including, without limitation, any law subrogating Guarantor to the rights of Creditor) to seek contribution, indemnification, or any other form of reimbursement from Qualified Borrower, any other guarantor, or any other person now or hereafter primarily or secondarily liable for any obligations of Qualified Borrower to Creditor, for any disbursement made by Guarantor under or in connection with this Borrower Guaranty or otherwise.

7. This Borrower Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Guaranteed Debt is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by the Creditor, upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, or dissolution of the Qualified Borrower or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.
8. This Borrower Guaranty has been executed and delivered pursuant to that certain Revolving Credit Agreement (as amended, modified, supplemented, or restated from time to time, the "Credit Agreement") dated as of October 10, 2007, by and among Guarantor, Acadia Realty Acquisition III LLC, as Managing Member, Acadia Realty Limited Partnership, as Guarantor, Acadia Investors III, Inc., as Pledgor, Creditor, Banc of America Securities LLC, as Sole Lead Arranger and Sole Book Manager, YC SUSI Trust, as Conduit Lender, Bank of America, N.A., as an Administrator, Alternate Lender and Managing Agent an

e elapsed from the date of such loss without settlement having been made. Unless the settlement of such loss is in excess of the amount of the Obligations, no settlement therefor shall be made without the prior written consent of Mortgagee. The foregoing appointment, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable until the Obligations are paid and otherwise satisfied in full.
5.3.8 (a) If the Mortgaged Property shall be damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty, Mortgagor shall give prompt notice thereof to Mortgagee. Mortgagor hereby authorizes and empowers Mortgagee, at Mortgagee’s option and at Mortgagee’s sole discretion, as attorney-in-fact for Mortgagor, to make proof of loss, to adjust and compromise any claim under any insurance policy, to appear in and prosecute any action arising from any policy, to collect and receive insurance proceeds and to deduct therefrom Mortgagee’s expenses incurred in the collection process, to endorse any checks, drafts or other instruments representing any proceeds of such insurance, wh
ether payable by reason of loss thereunder or otherwise, and to make any election required or permitted under any insurance policy relating to repair or restoration; provided, however, so long as no Default Condition exists, Mortgagee shall not exercise such power of attorney unless and until three (3) months have elapsed from the date of such loss without settlement having been made. So long as no Default Condition exists, Mortgagee shall disburse any Rents and Continuing Expenses received under any insurance policy to Mortgagor. Mortgagee shall make the Net Proceeds available for the repair and restoration of the Improvements, provided that (i) no Default Condition shall exist, (ii) Mortgagor shall proceed with the repair and restoration of the Improvements as nearly as reasonably possible to the condition the Improvements were in immediately prior to such fire or other casualty promptly after the insurance claims are settled, (iii) no Lease shall be terminated as a result of such fir
e, (iv) Mortgagee shall be reasonably satisfied that upon the completion of such repair and restoration the gross cash flow and the net cash flow of the Mortgaged Property will be restored to a level at least equal to the level the same were at prior to the date of such fire or other casualty and (v) the estimated cost of repair, restoration, rebuilding or replacement (hereinafter, collectively, the “Cost to Repair”) does not exceed $500,000.00. If the Cost to Repair is greater than $500,000.00 but does not exceed $1,000,000.00, provided the conditions set forth in (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) above have been satisfied, Mortgagee shall release so much of the Net Proceeds as may be required to pay for the actual Cost to Repair directly to the Mortgagor in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.3.9. If the Cost to Repair is greater than or equal to $1,000,000.00 or if the casualty occurs within one hundred and eighty (180) days of the Maturity Date (as such term is defi
ned in the Note) the Mortgagee, in its sole and absolute discretion, may either apply the proceeds of insurance to reduce the Mortgagor’s Obligations or, provided the conditions set forth in (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) above have been satisfied, release so much of the Net Proceeds as may be required to pay for the actual Cost of the repair work to repair, restore, rebuild or replace the Improvements (collectively, the “Repair Work”) directly to the Mortgagor in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.3.9.
(b) Upon satisfaction of the provisions of the preceding paragraph (a), the Net Proceeds will be disbursed by Mortgagee to Mortgagor to pay for the costs of the Repair Work. The Net Proceeds shall be held by Mortgagee in escrow until expended in connection with the Repair Work, it being agreed that any Net Proceeds so held by Mortgagee may be commingled with the general funds of Mortgagee, shall bear interest at such rate as reasonably determined by Mortgagee, and shall constitute additional security for the payment of the Obligations. The Net Proceeds shall be paid by Mortgagee to, or as directed by, Mortgagor from time to time during the course of the Repair Work upon satisfaction of the following c
onditions: (i) all plans, specifications, costs estimates, contracts and bonds, if any, for the Repair Work, have been obtained and are satisfactory to Mortgagee in its commercially reasonable discretion and (ii) Mortgagee has received satisfactory evidence that: (x) all materials installed and work and labor performed (except to the extent that they are to be paid for out of the requested payment) in connection with the repair and restoration have been paid for in full, (y) there exists no notices of intention, mechanics or other liens and encumbrances on the Mortgaged Property arising out of the Repair Work, and (z) the balance of the Net Proceeds plus the balance of any deficiency deposits made by Mortgagor pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph hereinafter set forth shall be sufficient to pay in full the balance of the cost of the Repair Work. The Repair Work shall be done and completed by Mortgagor in an expeditious and diligent fashion and in compliance with all applicable laws, rules
and regulations, and all plans and specifications required in connection with the repair and restoration shall be subject to the prior review and approval in all respects by an independent inspecting engineer selected by Mortgagor and reasonably acceptable to Mortgagee (the “Inspecting Engineer”). All costs and expenses incurred by Mortgagee in connection with making the Net Proceeds available for the Repair Work, including, without limitation, counsel fees and disbursements and the Inspecting Engineer’s fees incurred by Mortgagee, shall be paid by Mortgagor. In no event shall Mortgagee be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds in excess of an amount equal to the value of the work in place as part of the repair and restoration, as certified by the Inspecting Engineer, minus 10% of such costs (such 10% being hereinafter referred to as the “Retainage”). Once fifty percent (50%) of the Repair Work has been completed, the Retainage shall
be reduced to 5%. Mortgagee shall not be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds more than once every thirty (30) days. If the Cost to Repair does not exceed $500,000.00, only one disbursement of the Net Proceeds shall be made by Mortgagee, which disbursement shall be made upon certification by the Inspecting Engineer that the Repair Work has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this paragraph, and upon receipt by Mortgagee of evidence satisfactory to Mortgagee that the costs of the repair and restoration have been paid in full or will be paid in full out of such disbursement. The Retainage shall not be released until the Inspecting Engineer certifies that the repair and restoration have been completed in accordance with the provisions of this paragraph, and Mortgagee receives evidence satisfactory to Mortgagee that the costs of the repair and restoration have been paid in full or will be paid in full out of the Retainage. The excess, if any, of th
e Net Proceeds after the completion of the Repair Work and the payment in full of all costs incurred in connection therewith shall be applied by Mortgagee in reduction of the Obligations in such priority and proportions as Mortgagee in its commercially reasonable discretion shall deem proper. If at any time the Net Proceeds, or the undisbursed balance thereof, shall not, in the commercially reasonable opinion of Mortgagee, be sufficient to pay in full the balance of the costs which will be incurred in connection with the completion of the Repair Work, Mortgagor shall deposit the deficiency with Mortgagee before any further disbursement of the Net Proceeds shall be made, which deficiency deposit may be commingled with the general funds of Mortgagee, shall bear interest at such rate as reasonably determined by Mortgagee and shall be disbursed for costs actually incurred in connection with the Repair Work on the same conditions applicable to the Net Proceeds. Any such deficiency deposit, u
ntil disbursed pursuant to this paragraph, shall constitute additional security for the payment of the Obligations. The balance, if any, of any such deficiency deposit remaining after the Inspecting Engineer certifies that the Repair Work has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this paragraph and the receipt by Mortgagee of evidence satisfactory to Mortgagee that all costs incurred in connection with the Repair Work have been paid in full shall be returned by Mortgagee to Mortgagor. All costs of the Repair Work in excess of the Net Proceeds shall be paid for by Mortgagor. If Mortgagee shall receive and retain such Net Proceeds, the lien of this Mortgage shall be reduced only by the amount thereof received and retained by Mortgagee and actually applied by Mortgagee in reduction of the Obligations. Mortgagee shall not be obligated to see to the proper application of insurance money paid over to Mortgagor, and if Mortgagee receives and retains any Net
Proceeds, the lien of this Mortgage shall be affected only by a reduction of the amount of said lien by the amount of such insurance money so received and retained by Mortgagee. Nevertheless, if prior to the receipt by Mortgagee of any insurance proceeds, the Mortgaged Property shall have been sold on foreclosure of this Mortgage, as between Mortgagor and Mortgagee, Mortgagee shall have the right to receive said insurance proceeds, and Mortgagor shall pay over to Mortgagee said insurance proceeds as, if and when Mortgagor receives same, to the extent of (i) any deficiency found to be due upon such sale, with legal interest thereon, whether or not a deficiency judgment on this Mortgage shall have been sought or recovered, and (ii) of the attorneys’ fees, costs and disbursements incurred by Mortgagee in connection with the collection of such insurance proceeds. Mortgagor will not permit any condition to exist on the Mortgaged Property that would wholly or partially invalidate the ins
urance policies.
5.3.9 If Mortgagee shall by any manner acquire title to the Mortgaged Property, it shall thereupon become the sole and absolute owner of all insurance policies held by or required hereunder to be delivered to Mortgagee, with the sole right to collect and retain all unearned premiums and dividends thereon, and Mortgagor shall only be entitled to a credit, in reduction of the then outstanding indebtedness secured hereby, in the amount of the short rate cancellation refund. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event of foreclosure of this Mortgage or any transfer of title to the Mortgaged Property to a third-party purchaser pursuant to the power(s) in this Mortgage granted Mortgagee, Mortgagee shall be and is hereby authorized and empowered, f
or and in the name or names and on behalf of Mortgagor and/or Mortgagee, and for the purposes hereinafter set forth, shall be and is hereby made, constituted and appointed the true and lawful attorney-in-fact of Mortgagor (with full power of substitution and revocation) in the name place and stead of Mortgagor, and in the sole and uncontrolled discretion of said attorney, to surrender up the policies of insurance covering the Mortgaged Property and any part thereof and to collect any amounts due thereunder or, at its option, to transfer all right, title and interest in and to said policies and the proceeds thereof to any purchaser of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof without obligation to account therefor to any person claiming title to the Mortgaged Property; provided, however, that any amounts received by Mortgagee under said policies by way of refunds, dividends or oth
erwise, as aforesaid, shall be applied to the payment of the Obligations, and any surplus shall be paid over as a surplus on foreclosure. The foregoing appointment being coupled with an interest is irrevocable. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Mortgagee shall have no obligation to disburse any funds to Mortgagor and all monies held by Mortgagee may be applied toward satisfaction of the Obligations. Notwitstanding the foregoing, this Section 5.39 shall not apply with respect to any blanket insurance policies of Mortgagor which do not relate solely to the Mortgaged Property. The provisions of Subsection 4 of Section 254 of the Real Property Law of New York covering the insurance of buildings against loss by fire shall not apply to the terms of this Mortgage.
5.3.10 Mortgagee consents to Mortgagor providing the insurance coverage required under this Section 5.3 by causing one or more tenants leasing the entire or a portion of the Mortgaged Property to provide such insurance in the same form and amounts as set forth in this Section 5.3.
5.4. Payment of Taxes and Liens.
5.4.1 Mortgagor shall pay, when due, all Impositions and shall furnish to Mortgagee, promptly after payment of the same, certificates, receipts or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to Mortgagee of such payment; provided, however, Mortgagor shall not be required to pay and discharge any such Imposition, if and so long as (a) the validity thereof shall be contested by Mortgagor with diligence and in good faith by appropriate proceedings and (b) Mortgagor shall have deposited with Mortgagee a sum equal to the amount being so contested and any additional charge, penalty or expense which may be incurred as a result of such contest; and provided further, however, that any such Imposition and any such additional charge, penalty or expense shall be paid in full before the M
ortgaged Property, or any part thereof, shall be seized and sold in satisfaction thereof.
5.4.2 Mortgagor shall pay, when the same shall become due and payable, all claims and demands of mechanics, materialmen, laborers and others which, if unpaid, might result in or permit the creation of a lien on the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof, provided, however, Mortgagor shall not be required to pay any such claim or demand, if and so long as (a) the validity thereof shall be contested by Mortgagor with diligence and in good faith by appropriate proceedings and (b) in the event that such claim or demand results in a lien or notice of record against the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof, Mortgagor shall have bonded or otherwise caused such lien to be removed or discharged.
5.4.3 Mortgagor shall pay to Mortgagee, within thirty (30) days after Mortgagee’s demand, an amount equal to any and all taxes, assessments or charges of whatever nature which may at any time be assessed against Mortgagee with respect to the Note or this Mortgage or its ownership or holding thereof, whether under statutes now or hereafter in effect. In the event any such tax, assessment or charge is not or, under applicable law, cannot be so paid by Mortgagor, at the option of Mortgagee, the Obligations shall become immediately due and payable.
5.5. Insurance and Tax Deposits.
Mortgagee, at any time if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or if Mortgagor has failed to pay the Impositions for the immediately preceding due date, upon ten (10) days notice to Mortgagor, may require Mortgagor to pay to Mortgagee, on the first day of each calendar month, a sum equal to (a) one-twelfth (1/12) of the Impositions and (b) one-twelfth (1/12) of the annual premiums for the insurance required hereunder to be maintained on the Mortgaged Property, the respective amounts of such Impositions and premiums to be reasonably estimated from time to time by Mortgagee. Mortgagee shall apply the Deposited Funds to the payment of such Impositions and premiums and shall render an annual accounting to Mortgagor of all disbursements of the Deposited Funds. Although each such monthly payment of Deposi
ted Funds are to be in a lump sum, each component thereof shall be deemed to be held separately by Mortgagor for, and shall be applied only to, the particular item for which payment was made by Mortgagor, unless Mortgagee, in its discretion, elects otherwise. If at any time Mortgagee estimates that there shall or will not be on deposit with it, at least one (1) month prior to the due date (a) of any item constituting part of the Impositions and/or (b) of any annual insurance premium, a sum sufficient for the payment of such item and/or premium in full, Mortgagor, upon demand, shall pay the amount of such deficiency to Mortgagee notwithstanding that there may already be deposited with Mortgagee sums for the payment of other items which are not yet due. If the amount of the Deposited Funds shall exceed the amount necessary to pay such Impositions and premiums for the then current year, such excess shall be credited against future monthly deposits required hereunder. Unless othe
rwise required by applicable law, no interest shall be paid on the Deposited Funds, and the Deposited Funds may be commingled with Mortgagee’s general funds. Upon payment and other satisfaction in full of the Obligations, any excess Deposited Funds shall be refunded to Mortgagor. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Mortgagee may apply against the Obligations, in such manner as Mortgagee may determine, any or all of the Deposited Funds then held by Mortgagee.
5.6. Maintenance and Inspections.
5.6.1 Mortgagor shall at all times keep and maintain the Mortgaged Property and each part thereof in sound condition and in a first-class state of decoration and repair.
5.6.2 Mortgagor shall not: permit any strip or waste of the Mortgaged Property; permit the violation of any law, ordinance or rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority affecting the same or the use thereof, permit any conditions to exist which would wholly or partially invalidate any insurance on the Mortgaged Property; or do or permit anything to be done to the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof that might materially diminish the value thereof.
5.6.3 Mortgagor shall permit Mortgagee, its officers, agents and representatives to enter upon the Mortgaged Property at all reasonable times to view and inspect the same.
5.6.4 Mortgagor, within thirty (30) days after demand by Mortgagee (or immediately upon demand in cases which Mortgagee deems to be an emergency), shall make such repairs, replacements, renewals, or additions, or perform such items of maintenance to the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof as Mortgagee reasonably may require in order to maintain the Mortgaged Property at the standards required by this Section.
5.7. Alterations and Additions.
Mortgagor shall not remove or demolish any Improvements, or make any material alteration or addition to the Improvements (each an “Alteration”), including, without limitation, changes to the character, design, structure or size of the Improvements, without the prior written consent of the Mortgagee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Mortgagor shall have the right to make any Alteration with respect to the Improvements without Mortgagee’s prior written consent provided the cost of such Alteration is equal to or less than Two Hundred Fifty Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($250,000.00).
5.8. Management and Operation.
5.8.1 Mortgagor shall at all times provide management for the Mortgaged Property reasonably satisfactory to Mortgagee. Mortgagor represents and warrants that , as of the date hereof, no third party management company has been engaged to manage the Mortgaged Property. In the event that (i) Mortgagor decides to engage a third-party management company to manage the Mortgaged Property, or (ii) Mortgagee requires Mortgagor to engage a third-party management company pursuant to Section 5.8.2, Mortgagor agrees to engage a management company satisfactory to Mortgagee, pursuant to a management agreement satisfactory to Mortgagee, and to execute, and to cause such management company to execute, an agreement assigning the management agreement to Mortgagee, sub
ordinating such management agreement and the terms thereof, including but not limited to such management company’s right to payment of management fees, and containing certain other agreements of Mortgagor and such management company, in Mortgagee’s then-current form of such agreement (the “Assignment of Management Agreement”), and to deliver to Mortgagee promptly upon such engagement, a fully-executed copy of the management agreement, together with the Assignment of Management Agreement signed by Mortgagor and such manager.
5.8.2 If Mortgagee reasonably determines at any time that the Mortgaged Property is not being managed in accordance with generally accepted management practices for similarly situated projects, Mortgagee may deliver written notice thereof to Mortgagor, which notice shall specify in reasonable detail the grounds for Mortgagee’s determination. If Mortgagee reasonably determines that the conditions specified in Mortgagee’s notice are not remedied to Mortgagee’s reasonable satisfaction by Mortgagor within 30 days after the date of such notice, Mortgagee may direct Mortgagor to engage a management company acceptable to Mortgagee in Mortgagee’s sole discretion. In addition, if an Event of Default has occurred, Mortgagee may direct
Mortgagor to engage a management company acceptable to Mortgagee in Mortgagee’s sole discretion.
5.8.3 Mortgagor will continuously operate the Mortgaged Property for the Permitted Use.
5.9. Compliance with Laws and Restrictions.
5.9.1 Mortgagor promptly shall comply with all present and future laws, ordinances, rules, regulations, directives and other requirements of all Governmental Authorities; provided, however, Mortgagor may postpone such compliance provided such non-compliance shall not (a) subject Mortgagee to liability, criminal prosecution or any other penalty, (b) impair the value, or jeopardize the safety or condition, of the Mortgaged Property, or (c) constitute a default under any Lease, if and so long as the validity or legality of any such governmental requirement shall be contested by Mortgagor with diligence and in good faith by appropriate proceedings.
5.9.2 Mortgagor shall comply with all restrictive covenants and other private restrictions, if any, applicable to the Mortgaged Property.
5.10. Hazardous Waste.
5.10.1 Mortgagor hereby warrants and represents to Mortgagee that, except as set forth in the Environmental Site Assessment Report, (a) Mortgagor has never released, generated, stored or disposed of any Hazardous Waste on the Mortgaged Property, (b) Mortgagor is not aware of the existence, release or threat of release of any Hazardous Waste on or from the Mortgaged Property or on or from any property adjacent to the Mortgaged Property, and (c) Mortgagor has not received any notice, order, claim or demand from the United States Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) or any state or local governmental agency, authority or body having jurisdiction over Hazardous Waste or the storage or removal thereof (collectively, a “State Agency”) with respect to
the existence, release or threat of release of any Hazardous Waste.
5.10.2 Mortgagor shall not release, generate, store or dispose of any Hazardous Waste on the Mortgaged Property or on any property adjacent to the Mortgaged Property.
5.10.3 Mortgagor shall immediately notify Mortgagee in writing of (a) any and all enforcement, clean-up, removal or other action instituted or threatened by the EPA or any State Agency pursuant to any Hazardous Waste Laws, and (b) any and all claims made or threatened by any third party against Mortgagor or the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof, relating to the existence of, or damage, loss or injury from, any Hazardous Waste; and Mortgagee, to the extent permitted by applicable law, shall have the right to join and participate in, as a party if it so elects, any proceedings or actions initiated in connection with any such claim and to have all of its costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees, in connection therewith paid by
Mortgagor.
5.10.4 In the event that any Hazardous Waste is found on or in the Mortgaged Property, Mortgagor shall immediately contain and remove the same in compliance with all Hazardous Waste Laws.
5.10.5 Mortgagor agrees to indemnify and hold Mortgagee harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, costs and expenses incurred by Mortgagee, including, without limitation, costs of litigation and reasonable attorney’s fees, arising from the release, existence or removal of, any Hazardous Waste on or in the Mortgaged Property or on any properties adjacent to the Mortgaged Property. THIS RIGHT OF INDEMNIFICATION SHALL SURVIVE THE PAYMENT IN FULL OF THE NOTE, NOTWITHSTANDING ANY DISCHARGE OF THIS MORTGAGE.
5.10.6 Mortgagee, at its election and in its sole discretion, at any time and from time to time, whether or not a Default Condition shall exist hereunder, upon receipt of evidence of the existence of Hazardous Materials at the Mortgaged Property that were not disclosed in the Environmental Site Assessment Report or upon substantial belief that a discharge of Hazardous Materials may have occurred on or about the Mortgaged Property, may cause one or more environmental site assessments of the Mortgaged Property to be undertaken. Environmental site assessments may include, without limitation, a detailed visual inspection of the Mortgaged Property and any part thereof, as well as the taking of soil samples, water samples and such other investigation or analysis as
is necessary or appropriate for a complete assessment of whether any Hazardous Waste exists on or in the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof and the compliance of the Mortgaged Property with all Hazardous Waste Laws provided that no soil samples or destructive tests shall be made except on at least five (5) days notice to Mortgagor. If Mortgagee causes any such environmental site assessment to be undertaken because Mortgagee has reason to suspect Hazardous Waste may be present on the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof, or, if Mortgagee causes the same to be undertaken without such reason but such environmental site assessment discloses Hazardous Waste is so present, or, if Mortgagee causes such environmental site assessment to be undertaken in contemplation of foreclosure of this Mortgage, Mortgagor shall pay the cost thereof to Mortgagee on demand of Mortgagee, and until paid the cost thereof shall be added to the unpaid principal of the Obligations, shall bear interest at the Default Rate
, and the payment thereof, together with such interest, shall be secured by the lien of this Mortgage and the other Security Instruments.
5.10.7 Mortgagee, at its election and in its sole discretion, may (but shall not be obligated to) cure any failure on the part of Mortgagor or any Lessee or other user of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof (any such Lessee or other user being, in this Section 5, hereinafter referred to as a “User”) to comply with the Hazardous Waste Laws; such cure may include, without limitation, the following actions:
(a) arranging for the cleanup or containment of Hazardous Waste found in, on or near the Mortgaged Property and paying for such cleanup and containment costs and other costs associated therewith;
(b) paying on behalf of Mortgagor or any User, any fines or penalties imposed on Mortgagor or any User by the EPA or any State Agency in connection with Hazardous Waste; and
(c) making any other payment or performing any other act which may prevent a release of Hazardous Waste, facilitate the cleanup thereof, or prevent a lien from attaching to the Mortgaged Property.
Any partial exercise by Mortgagee of the remedies hereinabove set forth or any partial undertaking on the part of Mortgagee to cure the failure of Mortgagor or any User to comply with the Hazardous Waste Laws, shall not obligate Mortgagee to complete any action taken or require Mortgagee to expend further sums to cure Mortgagor’s or any User’s noncompliance; and the exercise of any such remedies shall not place upon the Mortgagee any responsibility for the operation, control, care, management or repair of the Mortgaged Property, or make the Mortgagee the “owner” or “operator” of the Mortgaged Property or a “responsible party” within the meaning of any of the Hazardous Waste Laws. Any amounts paid or costs incurred by the Mortgagee in the exercise of any of its rights under thi
s subsection 5.10.7 shall be paid by Mortgagor on demand of Mortgagee, and until paid shall be added to the unpaid principal of the Obligations, shall bear interest at the Default Rate, and the payment thereof, together with such interest, shall be secured by the lien of this Mortgage and by the other Security Instruments. Mortgagee, by making any such payment or incurring any such costs, shall be subrogated to any rights of Mortgagor or any User to seek reimbursement from any third parties, including, without limitation, any predecessor in interest to Mortgagor’s title to the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof.
5.10.8 Mortgagor shall: (i) promptly cause, but no later than ten (10) days from the date hereof, the proposed scope of work for additional investigations specified in the Supplemental Investigation Work Plan, revised as of September 20, 2007, and prepared by J.R. Holzmacher, P.E., LLC for The Robert Martin Company, to be implemented at the Mortgaged Property; and (ii) promptly commence, but no later than ten (10) days from the date hereof, the development and implementation of an asbestos Operations and Maintenance Program (the “O&M Program”), as recommended in the Environmental Site Assessment Report. In addition, Mortgagor shall, during the term of the Loan, including any extension or renewal thereof, comply with the terms and conditions of
the O&M Program.
5.11. Condemnation.
5.11.1 Upon the receipt by Mortgagor of notice of the institution of any proceeding or negotiations for the taking of the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, in condemnation or by the exercise of the power of eminent domain, Mortgagor shall give notice thereof to Mortgagee. Mortgagee may appear in any such proceedings and participate in any such negotiations and may be represented by counsel. Mortgagor, notwithstanding that Mortgagee may not be a party to any such proceeding, will promptly give to Mortgagee copies of all notices, pleadings, judgments, determinations and other papers received by Mortgagor therein. Mortgagor will not enter into any agreement for the taking of the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, with anyone aut
horized to acquire the same in condemnation or by eminent domain unless Mortgagee shall first have consented thereto in writing, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
5.11.2 Any award, whether paid as a result of a negotiated settlement or judgment, shall be paid to Mortgagee, and Mortgagee shall have the right and is hereby constituted and appointed the true and lawful attorney of Mortgagor, in the name and stead of Mortgagor, and in the discretion of said attorney, to collect and receive the total amount of such award, including interest, and to give proper receipts and acquittances therefor. The foregoing appointment, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable until the Obligations are paid and otherwise satisfied in full.
5.11.3 In the event of any taking of the Premises and/or Improvements or any part thereof in condemnation or by exercise of the power of eminent domain, at the option of Mortgagee, the Obligations shall become immediately due and payable, and, at the option of Mortgagee, all awards paid or payable to Mortgagor on account of such taking shall be applied to the payment and discharge of the Obligations, whether or not then due, such application to be in the following order of priority: (a) payment of all amounts expended, advanced or incurred by Mortgagee in the discharge of Mortgagor’s obligations hereunder; (b) payment of all expenses referenced in subsection 5.19 hereof, (c) payment of accrued interest under the Note; (d) payment of unpaid principal under the Note;
and (e) payment and satisfaction of any and all other Obligations. To the extent that such award or awards exceed the amount required to pay in full the principal and interest under the Note and all other sums and charges then secured hereby, Mortgagee shall pay over to the person or persons legally entitled thereto the amount of such excess; provided, however, that until the actual vesting of title in the condemning authority in such proceeding or pursuant to any agreement in lieu or in settlement thereof, the obligations of Mortgagor to pay, perform and observe the terms, covenants and conditions of the Note and this Mortgage shall continue unimpaired. In no event shall Mortgagee be required to satisfy or discharge this Mortgage until the Obligations are paid and otherwise satisfied in full.
5.11.4 In the event of any taking of a portion of the, as opposed to the entire, Premises and/or Improvements in condemnation or by exercise of the power of eminent domain, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, if the Premises is condemned and Mortgagee determines that all of the conditions specified in this section have been satisfied, then Mortgagee shall apply the condemnation proceeds (a) first to reimbursing itself for all reasonable costs incurred by it in the collection of such proceeds and (b) second to reimbursing Mortgagor for such actual costs as shall have been incurred by Mortgagor in restoring the Premises and shall be approved by Mortgagee, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Condemnation proceeds s
hall be applied to such restoration solely if (A) Mortgagee reasonably determines that: (i) the Premises is capable of being suitably restored in accordance with applicable governmental requirements to the value, condition, character and general utility existing prior to such damage or destruction; (ii) sufficient funds are unconditionally available (from condemnation proceeds or from funds to Mortgagor) to enable Mortgagor promptly to commence, and thereafter diligently to prosecute to completion, such restoration; (iii) no Default Condition exists; and (iv) neither the validity, enforceability nor priority of the lien of this Mortgage shall be adversely affected; (B) Mortgagor has entered into a written agreement, satisfactory in form and substance to Mortgagee, containing such conditions to disbursements as are employed at the time by Mortgagee for construction loans; (C) Mortgagor has delivered to Mortgagee such security as Mortgagee might have reasonably required to assure completion of resto
ration in accordance with the standards specified above; and (D) Mortgagor has complied with such further reasonable requirements as Mortgagee might have specified. To the extent that the foregoing conditions are not satisfied, Mortgagee may apply such proceeds to the payment of the Obligations.
5.11.5 Mortgagor shall pay interest on the Note and other indebtedness forming part of the Obligations at the rate or rates provided for therein, notwithstanding any lesser rate required to be paid by the authorities making such award or awards.
5.12. Records and Financial Statements; Financial Covenants.
5.12.1 Mortgagor will keep proper and separate books of account, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and make full and true entries of all dealings and transactions of every kind relating to the Mortgaged Property.

5.12.3 Within thirty (30) days after the end of each quarter in each fiscal year of Mortgagor, Mortgagor shall furnish to Mortgagee: (a) a financial report accurately reflecting the results of the operations of the Mortgaged Property, including without limitation, a balance sheet and a profit and loss statement for such quarter and on a year-to-date basis, (b) a Rent Roll dated as of the end of such fiscal quarter; and (c) a gross sales report accurately reflecting the gross sales of any Lessee obligated to report such sales to Mortgagor pursuant to the terms of the respective Lease, including, but not limited to, Walgreen Eastern Co., Inc., its successors and assigns (collectively, “Walgreen”); all such financial reports, such Rent Rolls and such gross sales
report to be certified to as being accurate by the chief financial officer of Mortgagor.
5.12.4 Mortgagor shall cause each Guarantor, (i) within one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of each fiscal year of Guarantor, to furnish to Mortgagee a signed audited financial statement accurately reflecting the financial condition of Mortgagor and the results of its operations, including, without limitation, audited balance sheets and audited profit and loss statements, in form reasonably satisfactory to Mortgagee, prepared by a certified public accountant reasonably satisfactory to Mortgagee and in accordance with generally accepted principles of accounting consistently applied; and (ii) within sixty (60) days after filing, a copy of each Guarantor’s current signed Federal income tax returns (with all schedules and exhibits).
5.12.5 Upon Mortgagee’s request, Mortgagor shall furnish such other information bearing on the financial condition of Mortgagor and the Guarantor, and the status and progress of the operation of the Mortgaged Property, as Mortgagee may from time to time reasonably request.
5.12.6 All books and records of Mortgagor with respect to the Mortgaged Property shall be kept at the Mortgaged Property or at Mortgagor’s principal place of business and shall be open to inspection by Mortgagee at all reasonable times. Upon the occurrence of any Default Condition, on demand of Mortgagee, Mortgagor forthwith shall deliver to Mortgagee all such books and records.
5.12.7 At all times during the term of the Loan, Mortgagor shall maintain the financial covenants set forth in the Note.

5.13.2 Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Mortgagor will not create, join or consent to any private restrictive covenant or other restriction affecting the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof, without the prior written consent of Mortgagee.
5.13.3 Acadia Realty Trust, or an affiliate or subsidiary of Acadia Realty Trust in which it directly owns and controls, in the aggregate, at least fifty-one percent (51%) of such affiliate or subsidiary (collectively, “ART”) may assume the Loan provided that: (i) no Event of Default has occurred or is continuing; (ii) ART executes an assumption agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Mortgagee, (iii) ART provides a replacement guarantor or guarantors for the Loan, which replacement guarantor(s) shall be satisfactory to Mortgagee in its sole discretion; and (iv) ART pays all costs and expenses reasonably incurred in connection with such assumption of the Loan, including, but not limited to, Mortgagee’s re
asonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, title charges and recording fees, if any. Additionally, the replacement guarantor(s) shall execute documents (the “Replacement Guaranty Documents”) similar in form and substance to the Guaranty Documents, which documents shall contain financial covenants acceptable to Mortgagee and the replacement guarantor(s), and any other documents as reasonably required by Mortgagee. The foregoing right shall only be exercised one time during the term of the Loan. If it is exercised in accordance with the foregoing, the assumption right shall thereafter be a nullity.
5.13.4 Notwithstanding Section 5.13.1, Mortgagee’s consent shall not be required for any public offering or transfer of shares of Acadia Realty Trust on a national recognized stock exchange.
5.14. Senior or Junior Indebtedness.
Mortgagor shall pay any and all indebtedness secured by any mortgage creating a senior and prior lien, if any, or junior and subordinate lien, if any, on the whole or any part of the Mortgaged Property and perform all covenants, terms and conditions contained in any such mortgage on the part of Mortgagor to be performed and observed, all within the periods provided for payment, performance and observance in any such mortgage; provided, however, the foregoing shall not be deemed to be a consent by Mortgagee to the creation of any such senior or junior indebtedness.
5.15. Preservation of Easements, Licenses and Zoning
5.15.1 Mortgagor, to the extent reasonably within its control, shall maintain, preserve and renew (a) any and all easements, rights of way, privileges and hereditaments now or hereafter belonging or inuring to the benefit of the Premises and/or Improvements or any part thereof, and (b) any and all Licenses.

5.16. Mortgagee’s Right to Pay or Perform Mortgagor’s Covenants.
If Mortgagor fails, as required under this Mortgage, (a) to maintain insurance or pay the premiums therefor, (b) to pay and furnish receipts for all Impositions, (c) to pay for all labor and materials or to otherwise pay any claim which might result in or permit the creation of a lien on the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof, (d) to maintain or repair the Improvements, (e) to provide management or security for the Mortgaged Property, or (f) to pay any indebtedness secured by a lien or encumbrance on the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof (other than the Note), or if Mortgagor fails to otherwise pay, perform or observe any of Mortgagor’s other covenants contained in this Mortgage, Mortgagee, at its option upon ten (10) days written notice to Mortgagor, may procure such insurance, pay such Impositions and any penalty and

other Security Instruments. The failure of Mortgagee to take any such action shall not render Mortgagee liable to Mortgagor or any third party.
5.17. Proceedings and Indemnification.
5.17.1 If Mortgagor becomes a party defendant to any action or other proceeding brought by a third party concerning or otherwise affecting (a) this Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents, (b) the Loan or (c) the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof or any interest therein or the construction, operation or occupancy thereof, or (d) title to the Mortgaged Property and/or the priority, perfection, enforceability or validity of any lien or security interest granted to secure the Obligations, including any action to foreclose any lien or security interest affecting Mortgagor or all or any part of the Mortgaged Property, Mortgagor shall:

This right of indemnification shall survive the payment in full of the Note, notwithstanding any discharge of this Mortgage.
5.17.3 Mortgagor agrees to indemnify Mortgagee with respect to any and all loss, cost or damage (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred or suffered by Mortgagee as a result of (1) any fraud or material misrepresentation made by or on behalf of Mortgagor; (2) any and all condemnation awards or insurance proceeds which are not applied in accordance with the provisions of the Security Instruments; (3) any and all rents, revenues, incomes, issues, proceeds or profits of the Mortgaged Property (“Rents and Profits”) collected by or on behalf of the Mortgagor following an Event of Default which are not applied, (i) first, to the payment of customary and usual operating expenses of the Mortgaged Property as the same become due and p
ayable, and (ii) then, to the payment of principal, interest and other sums due under the Note and other Loan Documents; (4) the Mortgagor’s failure following an Event of Default to deliver to the Mortgagee, on demand, all Rents and Profits, security deposits and books and records relating to the Mortgaged Property; (5) the Mortgagor’s failure to procure and maintain any insurance policy required by the Security Instruments; (6) any damage or material waste of the Mortgaged Property, or any portion thereof, caused by the willful, wanton or tortious act or omission of the Mortgagor, any of its representatives or agents or any Guarantor; (7) any violation of or failure to comply with the provisions of Section 5.10 of this Mortgage; and (8) the failure of the Mortgagor to pay any Impositions or insurance premiums with respect to the Mortgaged Property or any charges for labor or materials which may result in the creation of liens on the Mortgaged Property.
5.18. Further Assurances.
5.18.1 Mortgagor shall not do or suffer any act or thing to be done which would impair all or any part of the security for the payment of the Obligations or this Mortgage or the other Security Instruments.

eclosure or otherwise, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees to the extent permitted by law and further including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees for any and all appellate proceedings, to the extent permitted by law; and all such expenses, until paid, shall be added to the unpaid principal of the Obligations, shall bear interest at the Default Rate, and the payment thereof, together with such interest, and shall be secured by the lien of this Mortgage and the other Security Instruments.\

Immediately upon completion of the Required Repairs, but in no event later than one hundred eight (180) from the date hereof, Mortgagor shall provide evidence of the completion of said Required Repairs, which evidence shall be satisfactory to Mortgagee in its reasonable discretion. If Mortgagor fails to complete the Required Repairs (or deliver satisfactory evidence to Mortgagee of the completion of said Required Repairs) within one hundred eight (180) from the date
hereof, such failure shall constitute an Event of Default.
5.21. Estoppel Certificates.
Mortgagor has, as of the date hereof, executed and delivered to Mortgagee, a landlord form estoppel certificate, in form and substance satisfactory to Mortgagee (“Landlord Estoppel Certificate”) with respect to the certain Lease between Mortgagor and Walgreen.

Mortgagor shall pay all costs and expenses incurred by Mortgagee in connection with such Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreements, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees. Failure of Mortgagor to comply with the provisions of this Section 5.22 shall constitute an Event of Default.
Section 6. Assignment of Leases and Rents.
6.1. Mortgagor does hereby transfer, assign and deliver unto Mortgagee, grant to Mortgagee a security interest in, the Leases and the Rents and all right, title and interest of Mortgagor in and to any and all guarantees of any of the Leases; TO HAVE AND TO HOLD the Leases and the Rents and said guarantees, together with all the rights, privileges and appurtenances now or hereafter in any wise belonging or pertaining thereto, unto Mortgagee, its successors and assigns, forever, subject, however, to the terms and conditions hereinafter provided in this Section 6. Mortgagee shall have all rights against tenants of the Mortgaged Property as set forth in Section 291-f of the Real Property Law of New York.
6.2. Mortgagor hereby authorizes and empowers Mortgagee to collect the Rents as the same shall become due, and hereby irrevocably directs each and all of the Lessees and sublessees to pay to Mortgagee, upon demand by Mortgagee, the Rents as may now be due or payable and/or shall hereafter become due or payable; provided however, no such demand shall be made by Mortgagee unless and until there shall have occurred a default or an Event of Default hereunder beyond any applicable notice and cure period. Until such demand is made, Mortgagor shall have the license to collect or continue to collect the Rents; upon such demand such license shall cease.
6.2.1 Mortgagor’s right to collect or to continue to collect the Rents as aforesaid, shall not authorize collection by Mortgagor of any installment of rent or any other payment (exclusive of security deposits) more than one (1) month in advance of the respective dates prescribed in the Leases or otherwise for the payment thereof without the written consent of Mortgagee.
6.2.2 No lessee, sublessee, tenants or other occupant of the Mortgaged Property making any payment to Mortgagee pursuant to this Section 6 shall be under any obligation to inquire into or determine the actual existence of any default claimed by Mortgagee.
6.3. Mortgagee shall be and hereby is authorized and empowered, for and in the name or names and on behalf of Mortgagor and/or Mortgagee, and for the purposes hereinafter set forth, shall be and hereby is made, constituted and appointed the true and lawful attorney-in-fact of Mortgagor (with full power of substitution and revocation) and in the name, place and stead of Mortgagor, and in the sole and uncontrolled discretion of said attorney, to cause the assignment to Mortgagee of any Lease which has not been so assigned after request therefor by Mortgagee. The foregoing appointment, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable until the Obligations are paid and otherwise satisfied in full.
6.4. Mortgagor shall not enter into any Lease in excess of 2,000 square feet without first obtaining Mortgagee’s written approval of the terms and conditions thereof and the Lessee thereunder, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. In the event Mortgagor intends to enter into any Lease for less than 2,000 square feet, Mortgagor shall promptly notify Mortgagee of the terms and conditions thereof. If requested by Mortgagor, Mortgagee will grant conditional approvals of proposed Leases requiring Mortgagee’s approval hereunder or proposed renewals, extensions or modifications of existing Leases at any stage of the leasing process, from initial “term sheet” through negotiated Lease drafts; provided, however
, that the final approval of Mortgagee shall only be given following receipt of a final draft version of the Lease in question. Provided that no Event of Default is continuing, if Mortgagor provides Mortgagee with a written request for approval (which written request shall specifically refer to this Section 6.4 and shall explicitly state that failure by Mortgagee to approve or disapprove within ten (10) business days will constitute a deemed approval) and Mortgagee fails to reject the request in writing delivered to Mortgagor within ten (10) business days after receipt by Mortgagee of the request, the proposed Lease or proposed renewal, extension or modification of an existing Lease shall be deemed approved by Mortgagee, and Mortgagor shall be entitled to enter into such proposed Lease or proposed renewal, extension or modification of an existing Lease.
6.5. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 6 to the contrary, at Mortgagor’s written request, Mortgagee shall enter into a subordination non-disturbance and attornment agreement on Mortgagee’s then-current standard form with any national tenant or any other creditworthy tenant leasing in excess of ten (10%) percent of the Mortgage Property. Mortgagor shall reimburse Mortgagee upon demand for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Mortgagee in connection with the preparation and negotiation of such subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreements.
6.6. The provisions of the Assignment of Leases and Rents and the powers granted to Mortgagee under Section 9 hereof shall in no respect operate to place upon Mortgagee any responsibility or obligation to take any action whatsoever with respect to the operation, control, care, management or repair of the Mortgaged Property and that any action taken or failure or refusal to act by Mortgagee shall be at Mortgagee’s election and without any liability on its part.
Section 7. Security Agreement.
7.1. This Mortgage also shall constitute a security agreement, financing statement, and fixture filing within the meaning of the applicable Uniform Commercial Code, and is to be filed or recorded in the office where a mortgage on the Premises would be filed or recorded.
7.2. Mortgagor warrants and covenants that:
7.2.1 Except for the security interest granted hereby, Mortgagor is, or upon acquiring rights in any of the Collateral will be, the owner of the Collateral free from any other lien, security interest or encumbrance; and Mortgagor will defend the security interest of the Mortgagee in the Collateral against claims and demands of all persons at any time claiming the same or any interest therein; and
7.2.2 No financing statement covering any Collateral is on file in any public office, and at the request of Mortgagee, Mortgagor will join with Mortgagee in executing one or more financing statements pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code in form satisfactory to Mortgagee and will pay the cost of filing or recording the same in all public offices wherever filing or recording is deemed by Mortgagee to be necessary or desirable.
7.3. Mortgagor hereby authorizes Mortgagee to file financing and continuation statements with respect to the Collateral without the signature of Mortgagor whenever lawful.
7.4. The Personal Property will be kept at the Premises, and until installed will be suitably and safely stored thereon.
7.5. Mortgagor will not remove or permit to be removed from the subject property any of the Personal Property without the prior written consent of Mortgagee unless the same is immediately replaced with unencumbered fixtures, chattels or articles of personal property, as the case may be, of a quality, value and utility equal or superior to those which they replace. All such replacements, renewals and additions shall become and be immediately subject to the security interest of this Mortgage and be covered thereby.
7.6. Mortgagor, from time to time, on request of Mortgagee, shall deliver to Mortgagee an inventory of the Personal Property in reasonable detail, including an itemization of all items leased to Mortgagor or subject to conditional bill of sale, security agreement or other title retention agreement.
Section 8. Events of Default.
The occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall constitute an Event of Default:
8.1. Nonpayment of any installment of principal and/or interest due under the Note when it shall become due and payable (no prior demand therefore being necessary) and such nonpayment shall have continued for more than ten (10) days.
8.2. Nonpayment of any other sum payable under this Mortgage, the Note, any of the other Security Instruments or any of the Other Documents and, unless a different grace or notice period is elsewhere specified, such nonpayment shall have continued for more than ten (10) days after notice thereof from Mortgagee to Mortgagor.
8.3. Nonperformance or nonobservance of any of the other covenants, agreements, or conditions of this Mortgage, any of the other Security Instruments or any of the Other Documents, and, unless a different grace or notice period is elsewhere specified, such nonperformance or nonobservance shall have continued for more than thirty (30) days after notice thereof from Mortgagee to Mortgagor; provided, however, that if (a) the curing of such default cannot be accomplished with due diligence within said thirty (30) day period, (b) Mortgagor commences to cure such default promptly after receipt of notice thereof from Mortgagee and thereafter diligently and continuously prosecutes the cure of such default, and (c) the extension of the period for effecting a cure will not result
in any material impairment of the Mortgaged Property or any portion thereof, or the value thereof or Mortgagee’s lien thereon, then such period of thirty (30) days shall be extended for such period of time as Mortgagee reasonably deems necessary for Mortgagor so acting to cure such default; provided further, however, such extended cure period shall not be applicable to any default which may be cured by the payment of money only. The foregoing shall not be deemed to provide a grace or notice period for nonperformance or nonobservance of any covenant, agreement or condition which is specifically listed as an Event of Default in any other subsection of this Section 8.
8.4. The occurrence of any “Event of Default” under the Note, any of the other Security Instruments or any of the Other Documents, or the occurrence of any event or condition which would entitle Mortgagee to exercise any of its remedies under any of the Security Instruments or any of the Other Documents.
8.5. Title to the Mortgaged Property is not satisfactory to the Mortgagee by reason of any lien, charge, encumbrance, title condition or exception (other than Permitted Encumbrances) and such condition continues for more than thirty (30) days after notice thereof from Mortgagee to Mortgagor.
8.6. Any survey, report or examination discloses that the Improvements or any portion thereof encroach upon or project over a street or upon or over adjoining property, and such condition shall have continued for more than thirty (30) days after notice thereof from Mortgagee to Mortgagor.
8.7. The cancellation, lapse or termination of any insurance coverage required to be maintained by Mortgagor under this Mortgage or any of the other Security Instruments.
8.8. The Mortgaged Property or any part thereof or any interest therein is conveyed, voluntarily encumbered or otherwise transferred directly or indirectly in any way without the prior written consent of Mortgagee.
8.9. If any notice of responsibility, notice of violation, notice letter or other similar notice or claim is issued or filed by the EPA or any State Agency against Mortgagor or the Mortgaged Property under any of the Hazardous Waste Laws and within sixty (60) days after the issuance or filing thereof either (a) the condition referenced therein is not cured or (b) a consent agreement reasonably satisfactory to Mortgagee has not been entered into between Mortgagor and the EPA or the State Agency in question.
8.10. Breach of, or the proving false or misleading, in any material respect, of any representation or warranty now or hereafter made to Mortgagee by on behalf of, or for the benefit of Mortgagor, or contained in:

(b) the Note; or
(c) any loan application, statement, financial statement, certificate or other document, agreement or instrument furnished, signed or executed in connection herewith by, on behalf of, or for the benefit of Mortgagor.
8.11. The occurrence of any “event of default” under any document, agreement or instrument now or hereafter (a) evidencing or securing any other obligation or indebtedness of Mortgagor or any Other Liable Party to Mortgagee now existing or hereafter arising or (b) evidencing any obligation or other indebtedness secured in whole or in part by any or all of the property covered by any of the Security Instruments, or the nonpayment nonperformance or nonobservance of any of the covenants, agreements or conditions of any such documents, agreements or instruments, which nonpayment, nonperformance or nonobservance shall have continued beyond the expiration of any applicable grace or notice period, or the occurrence of any event or condition which would entitle the o
bligee of or under any such documents, agreements or instruments to exercise any of its remedies thereunder.
8.12. Nonpayment of any indebtedness of the Mortgagor or any Other Liable Party (other than the Note or other indebtedness referred to in the preceding subsection) if the effect of such nonpayment is to accelerate the maturity of such indebtedness or to permit the holder thereof to cause such indebtedness to become due prior to the stated maturity thereof, or if any other indebtedness, the validity of which is not being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings, is not paid when due and payable in accordance with the terms of such indebtedness or customary trade practice.
8.13. (a) (i) The insolvency or inability of Mortgagor or any Other Liable Party to pay his or its debts as they mature; (ii) the appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian or other fiduciary, for, or for any of the property of, Mortgagor or any Other Liable Party; (iii) the making of an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the making of or entering into a trust mortgage or deed or other instrument of similar import for the benefit of creditors, by Mortgagor or any Other Liable Party; or (iv) the convening of a meeting of the creditors, or the selection of a committee representing the creditors of Mortgagor or any Other Liable Party; or

ays after the filing of any such petition, complaint, motion or other pleading filed an answer thereto contesting same, then there shall be no Event of Default under this subparagraph (c) until the earliest of (i) the entry of an order for relief or a judgment under any proceedings referred to in this subparagraph (c), (ii) the appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian or other fiduciary in any such proceeding or (iii) the expiration of a period of thirty (30) days, at the end of which such petition, complaint, motion or other pleading remains undismissed; or

8.16. The death, incompetence, or incapacity to act of any Guarantor, unless a replacement guarantor is provided by Mortgagor within ninety (90) days of such death, which replacement guarantor shall be acceptable to Mortgagee in its sole discretion and which replacement guarantor, together with the other Guarantor, satisfies the financial covenants set forth in the Security Instruments.

8.20. If Mortgagor fails to promptly notify Mortgagee, in writing, and in any event within ten (10) days, of the occurrence of any event or condition of which Mortgagor is aware which constitutes a Default Condition, and together with such notice, furnish a written statement to Mortgagee which shall set forth the details of any action Mortgagor proposes to take with respect thereto.

Section 9. Remedies.
9.1. Rights Upon Default.
Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default beyond any applicable notice and cure period hereunder, Mortgagee, in addition to the remedies provided above, shall have each and every of the following rights and remedies, all of which rights and remedies shall be cumulative and not exclusive and in addition to any and all other rights and/or remedies granted to Mortgagee under this Mortgage, the Note, any of the other Security Instruments or Other Documents:
9.1.1 Mortgagee shall have the right forthwith, at its election, to exercise any and all rights and remedies available to it at law or in equity.
9.1.2 Mortgagee shall have the right forthwith, at its election, and without further notice or demand (except as otherwise specifically provided in the Note, this Mortgage or the other Security Instruments) and without the commencement of any action to foreclose this Mortgage or exercise any power of sale Mortgagee may have under this Mortgage, to enter immediately upon and take possession of the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, without further consent or assignment by Mortgagor, and to do, execute and perform any act, deed, matter or thing whatsoever that ought to be done, executed and performed in and about or with respect to the Mortgaged Property and the leasing, management, or operation thereof as fully as Mortgagor might do, including, without limitation, t
he right to institute summary proceedings against any Lessee who shall fail to comply with the provisions of the applicable Lease, with the right to lease the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, and to collect and receive all of the Rents, issues and profits, and all other amounts past due or to become due to Mortgagor by reason of its ownership of the Mortgaged Property and to apply the same, after the payment of all necessary charges and expenses in connection with the operation of the Mortgaged Property (including, without limitation, any managing agent’s commission, at the option of Mortgagee), on account of the Obligations. If Mortgagor or any other person claiming by, through or under it, (other than any Lessee whose tenancy Mortgagee has agreed not to disturb or whose tenancy Mortgagee, in its sole and uncontrolled discretion, is willing not to disturb) are occupying all or any part of the Mortgaged Property, it is hereby agreed that Mortgagor and such other persons shall either
immediately surrender possession of the Mortgaged Property to Mortgagee and vacate the premises so occupied or pay a reasonable rental for the use thereof, monthly in advance, to Mortgagee.
9.1.3 Mortgagee shall have the right to seek the immediate appointment by any court of competent jurisdiction of a receiver for the Mortgaged Property and the business of Mortgagor in connection therewith and of the Rents and profits arising therefrom, which receiver shall be entitled to immediate possession of the entire Mortgaged Property, whether or not occupied by Mortgagor. Mortgagee shall be entitled to the appointment of such a receiver as a matter of right without consideration of the value of the Mortgaged Property or other security for the Obligations or the solvency of any person or corporation liable for the payment thereof. If Mortgagor is then in possession of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof, Mortgagor shall immediately, upo
n the appointment of such receiver, vacate the Mortgaged Property or such part thereof, as the case may be, or pay a reasonable rental for the use thereof during such receivership, the amount of such rental to be agreed upon between said receiver and Mortgagor or to be fixed by the court in which said receiver shall have been appointed; and the relationship between said receiver and Mortgagor shall be that of landlord and tenant.
9.1.4 Mortgagee, to the extent permitted by law, may choose to utilize the procedures set forth in Article 14 of the Real Property Actions and Proceedings Law and commence a non-judicial foreclosure by power of sale of this Mortgage. To the extent permitted by law, Mortgagor waives any right granted pursuant to Section 1421, or any other provision of the Real Property Actions and Proceedings Law, to challenge Mortgagee’s election to enforce this Mortgage by means of such non-judicial power of sale unless Mortgagor in good faith believes there is one or more specific factual, meritorious defenses to the foreclosure action.
9.2. Mortgagee’s Right to Release and Negotiate.
Without affecting the liability of Mortgagor or any Other Liable Party (except any person expressly released in writing), and without affecting any lien or other security not expressly released in writing, Mortgagee, at any time and from time to time, either before or after maturity of the Note, irrespective of whether any Default Condition then exists and without notice or consent, may do any one or more of the following:
(a) release any person liable for payment of or performance of any or all of the Obligations;
(b) make any agreement extending the time, or otherwise altering the terms of payment of the Obligations or any part thereof, or modifying or waiving any of the Obligations, or subordinating, modifying or otherwise dealing with the lien or liens securing payment of the Obligations;
(c) exercise or refrain from exercising or waive any right Mortgagee may have;
(d) accept additional security of any kind;
(e) release or otherwise deal with any property, real or personal, securing the Obligations or any part thereof, including all or any part of the Mortgaged Property; and
(f) (in the event of any conveyance of Mortgagor’s interest in the Mortgaged Property to parties not appearing in this instrument), deal with such successor or successors in interest with reference to this Mortgage and the Obligations secured hereby, either by way of forbearance on the part of Mortgagee or extension of the time of payment of the Note or any other sum forming part of the Obligations, or otherwise, without in any way modifying or affecting the conveyance under this Mortgage or the original liability of Mortgagor for the Obligations, either in whole or in part. Nothing in this subsection, however, shall be deemed a consent by Mortgagee to the conveyance by Mortgagor of any interest in the Mortgaged Property.
9.3. Mortgagor to Surrender Possession.
In the event of any sale of the Mortgaged Property under the provisions hereof, Mortgagor shall forthwith surrender possession thereof to the purchaser. Upon failure to do so, Mortgagor shall thereupon be a tenant at sufferance of such purchaser, and upon its failure to surrender possession of the Mortgaged Property upon demand, such purchaser, his heirs, legal representatives, successors or assigns, shall be entitled to institute and maintain an appropriate action for possession of the Mortgaged Property.
9.4. Uniform Commercial Code. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Mortgagee shall have and may exercise all of the rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code then in effect in the state in which the Premises is located. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:
(a) Mortgagee, at its option, pursuant to the applicable provisions of Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code, may proceed as to both the real and personal property covered by this Mortgage in accordance with its rights and remedies in respect of said real property, in which event (i) the other provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code shall not apply to disposition of the Collateral, and (ii) the sale of the Collateral in conjunction with and as one parcel with said real estate shall be deemed to be a commercially reasonable manner of sale; or
(b) Mortgagee, at its option, may proceed as to the Collateral separately from said real property, in which event the requirement of reasonable notice shall be met by mailing notice of the sale, postage prepaid, to Mortgagor or any other person entitled thereto at least ten (10) days before the time of the sale or other disposition of any of the Collateral.
Section 10. Miscellaneous.
10.1. Notices. Any notice, demand, request, instruction, document, or other communication to be given under or in connection with this Mortgage shall be in writing and hand-delivered, receipt requested or sent by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, or sent by Federal Express or other similar courier service, addressed as follows:

10.3. Modifications. The provisions of this Mortgage may be modified or terminated only in a writing signed by Mortgagor and Mortgagee.
10.4. Non-Waiver. Mortgagee shall not be deemed to have waived or amended any of its rights or remedies under any of the Loan Documents unless such waiver or amendment be in writing and signed by it. No delay or omission on the part of Mortgagee in exercising any such right or remedy shall operate as a waiver of such right or remedy or any other right or remedy. A waiver on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to or a waiver of the same right or remedy on any future occasion. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the acceptance by Mortgagee of any sum after the occurrence of any Event of Default shall not constitute a waiver of the right to
require prompt performance of all of the covenants and conditions contained in the Loan Documents. The acceptance by Mortgagee of any sum less than the sum then due shall be deemed an acceptance on account only and shall not constitute a waiver of the obligation of Mortgagor to pay the entire sum then due, and Mortgagor’s failure to pay said entire sum due shall be and continue to be an Event of Default notwithstanding such acceptance of such lesser amount on account, and Mortgagee shall be entitled at all times thereafter to exercise all rights and remedies conferred upon it following an Event of Default, notwithstanding the acceptance by Mortgagee thereafter of future sums on account.
10.5. Cumlative Nature of Rights and Remedies. The rights and remedies provided Mortgagee in the Loan Documents and any of them, or otherwise available by law, shall be cumulative and may be exercised concurrently or successively. Any one or more of such rights or remedies may be exercised by Mortgagee, at its option, without regard to the adequacy of its security.
10.6. Limitation of Third-Party Rights. The Mortgagor and Mortgagee do not intend the benefits of any one or more of the Loan Documents to inure to, or otherwise exist for, the benefit of any third party who has a contractual relationship with Mortgagor, who is a creditor of Mortgagor with respect to the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, or who otherwise succeeds to Mortgagor’s interest or rights, and none of the Loan Documents shall be construed to make or render Mortgagee liable to any materialman, supplier, contractor, subcontractor, successor in title to the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, or any Lessee, or for debts or claims accruing to any such persons against Mortgag
or. Notwithstanding anything contained in any of the Loan Documents, or any conduct or course of conduct by Mortgagor or Mortgagee or both, whether before or after signing this Mortgage, none of the Loan Documents shall be construed as creating any right, claim or cause of action against Mortgagee, or any of its officers, directors, agents or employees, in favor of any materialman, supplier, contractor, subcontractor, successor in title to the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, or any Lessee or to any other person, corporation or other entity, other than Mortgagor.
10.7. Interpretation. Mortgagor acknowledges that Mortgagor, Mortgagee and their respective counsel have reviewed and revised the Loan Documents and the Commitment Letter and agree that any rule of construction to the effect that ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not apply in the interpretation of the Loan Documents or said Commitment Letter.
10.8. Assignability of Mortgagee’s Interest. Mortgagee may assign, negotiate, or pledge all or any portion of its rights under the Loan Documents or any of them, and, in case of such assignment, Mortgagor shall accord full recognition thereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Mortgagee shall have the right to sell or otherwise grant participations in the Loan to one or more of the participating financial institutions and to disclose all information in its possession with respect to Mortgagor and the Mortgaged Property to such institutions; Mortgagor shall cooperate with Mortgagee, if requested by Mortgagee, with respect to any of Mortgagee’s efforts to obta
in such participants.
10.9. Integration. The Loan Documents and the Commitment Letter reflect the entire agreement between Mortgagor and Mortgagee; provided, however, to the extent there shall exist a conflict between any term or provision of the Commitment Letter and any term or provision of the Loan Documents, the term or provision of the Loan Documents shall prevail.
10.10. Singular Includes Plural. Every word herein purporting to the neuter gender only shall extend to and include males and females and every word herein importing the singular number only shall be construed to extend to and include the plural number also.
10.11. Severability. In the event any term or provision of this Mortgage or the application thereof to any person or circumstance shall, to any extent, be held invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Mortgage or the application of such term or provision to persons or circumstances other than those to which it is held invalid or unenforceable, shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extend permitted by law.
10.12. Governing Law. This Mortgage shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of New York in the United States of America, without resort to that state’s conflict of laws rules.
10.13. Incorporation of Exhibits. All Exhibits referred to in this Mortgage are by such references fully incorporated herein.
10.14. Successors and Assigns Bound. This Mortgage shall inure to the benefit of and be binding on the successors and assigns of Mortgagee and the heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns of Mortgagor; provided, however, the foregoing shall not be deemed to allow any assignment by Mortgagor in violation of the terms hereof.
10.15. Waiver of Jury Trial. Mortgagor and Mortgagee by acceptance of this Mortgage, expressly acknowledge and agree that the Loan involves a sophisticated commercial real estate finance transaction and that disputes arising in connection with the Loan would be most fairly resolved by a judge applying applicable federal and state laws, rather than by arbitration rules or jury trial. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Mortgagor hereby waives, for Mortgagor and Mortgagor’s heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns, and by acceptance of this Mortgage, Mortgagee hereby waives, for itself, its successors and assigns, any right to a trial by jury in respect to any litig
ation directly or indirectly arising out of, under, or in connection with this Mortgage, the Note or any of the other Loan Documents. Mortgagor hereby (a) certifies that no employee, attorney or other agent or representative of Mortgagee has represented, expressly or otherwise, that Mortgagee, in the event of litigation, would not seek to enforce the foregoing waiver, and (b) acknowledges that Mortgagee has been induced to make the Loan, by, among other things, the waiver, acknowledgments and certification contained in this subsection.
Section 11. State of New York Provisions.
11.1. Non-Residential Property. This Mortgage does not cover real property principally improved by one or more structures containing in the aggregate six (6) or less residential dwelling units having their own separate cooking facilities.
11.2. Trust Fund. Pursuant to Section 13 of the Lien Law of New York, Mortgagor shall receive the advances secured by this Mortgage and shall hold the right to receive such advances as a trust fund to be applied first for the purpose of paying the cost of any improvement on the Mortgaged Property before using any part of the total of the same for any other purpose.
11.3. Liability. If Mortgagor consists of more than one person or entity, the obligations and liabilities of each such person or entity hereunder shall be joint and several.
11.4. Multiple Parcels.

ARTICLE II.
GENERAL TERMS
Section 2.1 Loan Commitment; Disbursement to Borrower.
2.1.1 Agreement to Lend and Borrow. Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, Lender hereby agrees to make and Borrower hereby agrees to accept Advances in respect of the Project Loan as more particularly set forth in Section 2.10.
2.1.2 No Reborrowings. Any amount borrowed and repaid hereunder in respect of the Building Loan may not be reborrowed.
2.1.3 The Note, Mortgage and Loan Documents. The Project Loan shall be evidenced by the Project Loan Note and secured by the Project Loan Mortgage, the Project Loan Assignment of Leases and the other Project Loan Documents.
2.1.4 Use of Proceeds. Borrower hereby agrees that Borrower shall use the proceeds of the Project Loan to pay or reimburse itself for Project-Loan Costs actually incurred in connection with the construction of the Project Improvements if and to the extent that such Project-Loan Costs are reflected in the Project Loan Budget, subject to reallocation pursuant to Sections 2.1.6 and 2.1.7 hereof, and 5.1.33 of the Building Loan Agreement (or other reallocations approved by Lender in its sole discretion).
2.1.5 Advances. The Project Loan Budget shall reflect, by category and line item, the purposes and amounts for which funds to be advanced by Lender under this Agreement are to be used. Lender shall not be required to Advance funds hereunder for any category or line item of Project Loan Costs in excess of the amount specified for such line item or category in the Project Loan Budget, subject to Sections 2.1.6 and 2.1.7 hereof and 5.1.33 of the Building Loan Agreement (or other reallocations approved by Lender in its sole discretion). No Advances shall be made to pay for Affiliate Fees.
2.1.6 Cost Overruns. If Borrower becomes aware of any change in actual or projected Project Loan Costs which will increase any one or more category or line item of costs reflected in the Project Loan Budget, Borrower shall immediately notify Lender in writing and promptly submit to Lender for its approval a revised Project Loan Budget. Any reallocation of any category or line items in the Project Loan Budget in connection with cost overruns shall be subject to Lender’s approval in Lender’s sole discretion except as set forth in Sections 2.1.7 hereof and 5.1.33 of the Building Loan Agreement, provided, however, under no circumstances shall Borrower be permitted, or Lender obligated to approve, the reallocation of line items from the Building Loan Budget to the Project Loan Budget. Lender shall have no obligation to make any further Advances unless and until the revised Project Loan Budget so submitted by Borrower is approved by Lender and Borrower has satisfied its obligations with respect to any resulting Shortfall under Section 2.1.10. Lender reserves the right to approve or disapprove any revised Project Loan Budget in its sole and absolute discretion (except with respect to reallocations in accordance with Sections
2.1.7 and 5.1.33).
2.1.7 Contingency Reserve.
(a) Following the satisfaction of the Initial Advance Conditions, and subject to the prior approval of Lender in its sole discretion, Borrower may revise the Project Loan Budget to move amounts available under any Line Item that are designated to “Contingency” to other Line Items in the Project Loan Budget. In no event may the Contingency Line Item of the Building Loan Budget be reallocated to any Line Item in the Project Loan Budget. Provided no Event of Default exists and with Lender’s consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld), after Completion of the Improvements, Borrower may draw amounts available under the Contingency Line Item of the Project Loan Budget to fund Shortfalls in monthly interest due, which amounts shall
be deposited in the Interest Reserve. Such drawing shall be in addition to any Interest Reserve Line Item advanced under the Project Loan pursuant to Section 2.14.10 hereof.
(b) Following the occurrence of Final Completion, Lender shall reasonably cooperate with Borrower to amend the Project Loan Budget, Building Loan Budget, Project Loan Documents and Building Loan Documents such that: (x) the Building Loan Budget is amended to remove the amounts then available under the Building Loan Budget either in the contingency Line Item or as cost savings from other Line Items (the “Contingency Excess”) and the Building Loan Amount is reduced by the Contingency Excess; and (y) the contingency line item of the Project Loan Budget and the Project Loan Amount are increased by the Contingency Excess. Borrower and Lender shall execute and deliver such documents, certificates and instrumen
ts as may be reasonably required to effect the above described re-allocation, including, without limitation, the filing of an amended Section 22 Affidavit and the modification of the Project Loan Documents and Building Loan Documents to reflect the respective changes in the Project Loan Amount and the Building Loan Amount and Borrower shall obtain such other evidence as Lender may reasonably request to confirm that none of the foregoing shall adversely impact the validity or priority of its security interests in the Property or otherwise adversely impact its rights and remedies under the Loan Documents including, without limitation, appropriate endorsements to the title insurance policy. Borrower shall pay any and all title insurance, recording and other charges and all reasonable costs and expenses (including legal fees) incurred by Lender in connection with the foregoing.
2.1.8 Intentionally Omitted.
2.1.9 Amount of Advances. In no event shall any Advance exceed the full amount of Project Loan Costs theretofore paid or to be paid with the proceeds of such Advance plus any Project Loan Costs incurred by Borrower through the date of the Draw Request for such Advance minus (i) the applicable Retainage for each Contract and Subcontract, and (ii) the aggregate amount of any Advances previously made by Lender. It is further understood that the Retainage descri
bed above is intended to provide a contingency fund protecting Lender against failure of Borrower or Guarantor to fulfill any obligations under the Loan Documents, and that Lender may charge amounts to pay for Project Loan Costs against such Retainage in the event Lender is required or elects to expend funds to cure any Default or Event of Default, in either instance, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. No Advance of the Loan by Lender shall be deemed to be an approval or acceptance by the Lender of any work performed thereon or the materials furnished with respect thereto.
2.1.10 Loan-In-Balance. As used herein, a “Shortfall” shall mean, as to any Line Item in the Development Budget as of any date, the amount determined by Lender, in Lender’s sole but reasonable judgment, by which (A) the cost of completing or satisfying such Line Item, exceeds (B) the remaining undisbursed portion of the Loan allocated to such Line Item in the Development Budget plus any sums deposited with Lender pursuant to this Section 2.1.10 to pay for such Line Item and not previously disbursed plus any Reserve Funds to the extent such Reserve Funds are available hereunder for the payment of such Line Item. From time to time and at any time during the Construction Period, Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, to notify Borrower that it has determined a Shortfall exists as to any one or more Line Items. If Lender at any time shall so notify Borrower, Borrower shall, at its option within five (5) days of Lender’s notification as aforesaid, either: (i) deposit with Lender an amount equal to such Shortfall, which Lender disburse to Borrower to the satisfaction of the costs of such Line Item prior to advancing any further Loan proceeds on account of such costs; (ii) post an irrevocable standby Letter of Credit in the amount of such Shortfall, in favor of Lender; (iii) to the extent permitted under Sections 2.1.7 hereof and 5.1.33 of the Building Loan Agreement, and following the satisfaction of the Initial Advance Conditions allocate the Contingency Reserve, with respect to the Line Item(s) in question, to the Shortfall, and provided, further that the amount of the remaining Contingency Reserve for such Line Item(s) (following the allocation to the Shortfall) is sufficient for such Line Item(s), as determined by Lender in its sole discretion; and (iv) to the extent permitted under Section 5.1.33 of the Building Loan Agreement, and then only following the satisfaction of the Initial Advance Conditions, reallocate cost savings from th
e Development Budget in respect of the Loan (or other reallocations which are approved by Lender, in its sole discretion) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, but only to the extent such cost savings can be allocated to the related Line Items. Borrower hereby agrees that Lender shall have a lien on and security interest in, for the benefit of Lender, any sums deposited pursuant to clause (i) above and that Borrower shall have no right to withdraw any such sums except for the payment of the aforesaid costs as approved by Lender. Lender shall have no obligation to make any further Advances of proceeds of the Loan as to any Line Item until the sums required to be deposited pursuant to clause (i) above as to such Line Item have been exhausted, or until Borrower has posted an irrevocable standby Letter of Credit pursuant to clause (iii) above, as the case may be, and, in any such case, the Loan is back “in balance”. Any such sums not used as provided in said
clause (i) shall be released to Borrower when and to the extent that Lender reasonably determines that the amount thereof is more than the excess, if any, of the remaining Project-Related Costs over the undisbursed balance of the Loan, provided, however, that should an Event of Default occur, Lender, in its sole discretion, may apply such amounts either to the remaining Project-Related Costs or to the immediate reduction of outstanding principal and/or interest under the Note.
2.1.11 Quality of Work. No Advance or any portion thereof shall be made with respect to defective work or to any contractor that has performed work that is defective and that has not been cured, as confirmed by the report of the Construction Consultant, but Lender may disburse all or part of any Advance before the sum shall become due if Lender believes it advisable to do so, and all such Advances or parts thereof shall be deemed to have been made pursuant to this Agreement.
2.1.12 Required Equity Funds. All Required Equity Funds shall be contributed (i.e., expended by Borrower and invested by Borrower in the Property, for Project Related Costs set forth on the approved Development Budget) before the Closing Date.
2.1.13 Trust Fund. Pursuant to Section 13 of the New York Lien Law, Borrower shall receive the Advances hereunder and shall hold the right to receive the Advances as a trust fund to be applied first for the purpose of paying the Costs of the Improvements and shall apply the Advances first to the payment of the Cost of the Improvements on the Property before using any part of the total of the same for any other purpose.
2.1.14 Final Project Report and Development Budget. The provisions of Section 2.1.14 of the Building Loan Agreement are incorporated herein by reference as if fully set forth herein.
2.1.15 Miscellaneous.
(a) The making of an Advance by Lender shall not constitute Lender’s approval or acceptance of the construction theretofore completed. Lender’s inspection and approval of the Plans and Specifications, the construction of the Project Improvements, or the workmanship and materials used therein, shall impose no liability of any kind on Lender, the sole obligation of Lender as the result of such inspection and approval being to make the Advances if and to the extent, required by this Agreement.
(b) ALL POTENTIAL LIENORS ARE HEREBY CAUTIONED TO EXERCISE SOUND BUSINESS JUDGMENT IN THE EXTENSION OF CREDIT TO BORROWER. NO POTENTIAL LIENOR SHOULD EXPECT LENDER TO MAKE ADVANCES OF THE LOAN IN AMOUNTS AND AT TIMES SUCH THAT IT WILL NOT BE NECESSARY FOR EACH SUCH POTENTIAL LIENOR TO EXERCISE SOUND BUSINESS JUDGMENT IN THE EXTENSION OF CREDIT TO BORROWER. MOREOVER, ALL POTENTIAL LIENORS ARE REMINDED THAT SUBDIVISION (3) OF SECTION 13 OF THE NEW YORK LIEN LAW PROVIDES THAT “NOTHING IN THIS SUBDIVISION SHALL BE CONSIDERED AS IMPOSING UPON THE LENDER ANY OBLIGATION TO SEE THE PROPER APPLICATION OF SUCH ADVANCES BY THE OWNER,” AND LENDER DOES NOT IMPOSE SUCH AN OBLIGATION ON ITSELF.
Section 2.2 Interest Rate.
2.2.1 Interest Rate. Interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan shall accrue from (and include) the Closing Date to but excluding the Maturity Date at the Interest Rate calculated as set forth in Section 2.2.2 below.
2.2.2 Interest Calculation. Interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan shall be calculated by multiplying (a) the actual number of days elapsed in the period for which the calculation is being made by (b) a daily rate based on the Interest Rate and a three hundred sixty (360) day year by (c) the outstanding principal balance.
2.2.3 Default Rate. In the event that, and for so long as, any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the outstanding principal balance of the Loan and, to the extent permitted by law, all accrued and unpaid interest in respect of the Loan and any other amounts due pursuant to the Loan Documents, shall accrue interest at the Default Rate, calculated from the date such payment was due without regard to any grace or cure periods contained herein.
2.2.4 Usury Savings. This Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents are subject to the express condition that at no time shall Borrower be obligated or required to pay interest on the principal balance of the Loan at a rate which could subject Lender to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate. If, by the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the principal balance due hereunder at a rate in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate, the Interest Rate or th
e Default Rate, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to the Maximum Legal Rate and all previous payments in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of principal and not on account of the interest due hereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the sums due under the Loan, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of the Loan until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Loan does not exceed the Maximum Legal Rate of interest from time to time in effect and applicable to the Loan for so long as the Loan is outstanding.
Section 2.3 Loan Payment.
2.3.1 Monthly Debt Service Payments. Borrower shall pay to Lender (a) on the Closing Date, an amount equal to interest only on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan from and including the Closing Date up to and including December 31, 2007, which interest shall be calculated in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.2 hereof, and (b) on each Payment Date commencing on the Payment Date occurring in February, 2008, and thereafter up to
and including the Maturity Date, Borrower shall make a payment to Lender equal to the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount, which payments shall be applied first to interest due for the related Interest Period at the Interest Rate, for such related Interest Period and then to the principal amount of the Loan due in accordance with this Agreement, and lastly, to any other amounts due and unpaid pursuant to the Loan Documents hereto. Borrower and Lender acknowledge and agree that, on the 15th calendar day of the month preceding each Payment Date during the Construction Term: (a) if and to the extent undrawn funds remain available for Advance under the Project Loan from the Interest Reserve Line Item of the Project Loan Budget, and provided that that no Event of Default or monetary Default then exists under any of the Loan Documents or would occur as a result of such Advance, the Monthly Debt Service Amount then due and ow
ing shall be advanced by Lender by a Advance under Interest Reserve Line Item of the Project Loan Budget; and (b) if no amount remains available under the Interest Reserve Line Item but and to the extent Interest Reserve Funds are on deposit in the Interest Reserve Account, and no Event of Default or monetary Default then exists under any of the Loan Documents, the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount then due and payable shall be paid by application of funds from the Interest Reserve Account. Borrower and Lender acknowledge and agree that Lender may automatically make an Advance or apply Interest Reserve Funds on deposit in the Interest Reserve Account on each Payment Date occurring during the Construction Term, in either instance, in accordance with this Section 2.3.1, without the need for Borrower to submit a Draw Request or otherwise request such an Advance or application.
2.3.2 Payments Generally. The first Interest Period hereunder shall commence on and include the Closing Date and shall end on and include December 31, 2007. Thereafter each Interest Period shall commence on the first (1st) day of each calendar month during the term of this Agreement and shall end on and include the final calendar date of such calendar month. For purposes of making payments hereunder, but not for purposes of calc
ulating Interest Periods, if the day on which such payment is due is not a Business Day, then amounts due on such date shall be due on the immediately preceding Business Day and with respect to payments of principal due on the Maturity Date, interest shall be payable at the Interest Rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, through and including the day immediately preceding such Maturity Date. All amounts due under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be payable without setoff, counterclaim, defense or any other deduction whatsoever.
2.3.3 Payment on Maturity Date. Borrower shall pay to Lender on the Maturity Date the outstanding principal balance of the Loan, all accrued and unpaid interest and all other amounts due hereunder and under the Note, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents.
2.3.4 Late Payment Charge. If any principal, interest or any other sums due under the Loan Documents (including the amounts due on the Maturity Date) are not paid by Borrower on or prior to the date on which it is due, Borrower shall pay to Lender upon demand an amount equal to the lesser of five percent (5%) of such unpaid sum or the Maximum Legal Rate in order to defray 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.
; Any such amount shall be secured by the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents to the extent permitted by applicable law.
2.3.5 Method and Place of Payment. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all payments and prepayments under this Agreement and the Note shall be made to Lender not later than 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on the date when due and shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately available funds at Lender’s office or as otherwise directed by Lender, and any funds received by Lender after such time shall, for all purposes hereof, be deemed to have been paid on the next succeeding Business
Day.
Section 2.4 Prepayments.
2.4.1 Voluntary Prepayments. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 2.4.1 and Section 2.4.2, Borrower shall not have the right to prepay the Loan in whole or in part prior to the Maturity Date. If for any reason Borrower prepays the Loan on a date other than a Payment Date, Borrower shall pay Lender, in addition to the Debt, all interest which would have accrued on the amount of the Loan th
rough and including the Payment Date next occurring following the date of such prepayment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, commencing after the Payment Date three (3) months prior to the Maturity Date (the "Open Period Date"), or on any Payment Date thereafter (or on any date thereafter, provided that interest is paid through the next Payment Date), Borrower may, at its option, prepay the Debt in whole, but not in part, without payment of the Yield Maintenance Premium.
2.4.2 Mandatory Prepayments. On the next occurring Payment Date following the date on which Lender actually receives any Net Proceeds, if Lender is not obligated to make such Net Proceeds available to Borrower for the Restoration of the Property or otherwise remit such Net Proceeds to Borrower pursuant to Section 6.4 of the Building Loan Agreement, Borrower shall prepay or authorize Lender to apply Net Proceeds as a prepayment of all or a portion of the outstanding principal balance of the Loan together with accrued interest th
rough the end of the related Interest Period and any other sums due hereunder in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of such Net Proceeds; provided, however, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender may apply such Net Proceeds to the Debt (until paid in full) in any order or priority in its sole discretion. Other than following an Event of Default, no Yield Maintenance Premium shall be due in connection with any prepayment made pursuant to this Section 2.4.2.
2.4.3 Prepayments After Default. If following an Event of Default, payment of all or any part of the Debt is tendered by Borrower or otherwise recovered by Lender, such tender or recovery shall be (a) made on the next occurring Payment Date together with the Monthly Debt Service Payment and (b) deemed a voluntary prepayment by Borrower in violation of the prohibition against prepayment set forth in Section 2.4.1 hereof and Borrower shall pay, in addition to the Debt, an amount equal to the Yield Main
tenance Default Premium.
2.4.4 Prepayment Prior to Defeasance Expiration Date. If the Permitted Release Date has occurred but the Defeasance Expiration Date has not occurred, the Debt may be prepaid in whole (but not in part) prior to the date permitted under Section 2.4.1 hereof upon not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice to Lender specifying the Payment Date on which prepayment is to be made (a “Prepayment Date”) provided no Event of Default exists and upon payment of an amount equal to the Yield Maintenance Premium.
Lender shall notify Borrower of the amount and the basis of determination of the required prepayment consideration. If any notice of prepayment is given, the Debt shall be due and payable on the Prepayment Date. Lender shall not be obligated to accept any prepayment of the Debt unless it is accompanied by the prepayment consideration due in connection therewith. If for any reason Borrower prepays the Loan on a date other than a Payment Date, Borrower shall pay Lender, in addition to the Debt, all interest which would have accrued on the amount of the Loan through and including the Payment Date next occurring following the date of such prepayment.
2.4.5 Application of Prepayments to Components. Any prepayment of the principal of the Loan, in whole or in part, voluntary or involuntary, shall be applied (a) first, to the reduction of the outstanding principal balance of the Project Loan until reduced to zero, and (b) second, to the reduction of the outstanding principal balance of the Building Loan until reduced to zero. Subsequent to any Event of Default, any payment of principal from whatever source may be applied by Lender between the various components of the Loan in Lender’s sole discretion.
Section 2.5 Defeasance.
2.5.1 Voluntary Defeasance
(a) Provided no Event of Default shall then exist, Borrower shall have the right at any time after the Defeasance Expiration Date and prior to the date voluntary prepayments are permitted under Section 2.4.1 hereof to voluntarily defease all, but not part, of the Loan by and upon satisfaction of the following conditions (such event being a “Defeasance Event”):
(i) Borrower shall provide not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice to Lender specifying the Payment Date (the “Defeasance Date”) on which the Defeasance Event is to occur;
(ii) Borrower shall pay to Lender all accrued and unpaid interest on the principal balance of the Loan to and including the Defeasance Date. If for any reason the Defeasance Date is not a Payment Date, the Borrower shall also pay interest that would have accrued on the Note through and including the Payment Date immediately preceding the next Payment Date, provided, however, if the Defeasance Deposit shall include short-term interest computed from the date of such prepayment through to the next succeeding Payment Date, Borrower shall not be required to pay such short term interest pursuant to this sentence;
(iii) Borrower shall pay to Lender all other sums, not including scheduled interest or principal payments, then due under the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents;
(iv) Borrower shall use the Defeasance Deposit to purchase U.S. Obligations in accordance with Section 2.5.1(b) below;
(v) Borrower shall execute and deliver a pledge and security agreement, in form and substance that would be reasonably satisfactory to a prudent lender creating a first priority lien on the Defeasance Deposit and the U.S. Obligations purchased with the Defeasance Deposit in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.5 (the “Security Agreement”);
(vi) Borrower shall deliver an opinion of counsel for Borrower that is standard in commercial lending transactions and subject only to customary qualifications, assumptions and exceptions opining, among other things, that Borrower has legally and validly transferred and assigned the U.S. Obligations and all obligations, rights and duties under and to the Note to the Successor Borrower, that Lender has a perfected first priority security interest in the Defeasance Deposit and the U.S. Obligations delivered by Borrower and that any REMIC Trust formed pursuant to a Securitization will not fail to maintain its status as a “real estate mortgage investment conduit” within the meaning of Section 860D of the Code as a result of such Defeasance Event;
(vii) Borrower shall deliver confirmation in writing from each of the applicable Rating Agencies to the effect that such release will not result in a downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the respective ratings in effect immediately prior to such Defeasance Event for the Securities issued in connection with the Securitization which are then outstanding.

ursed by Lender shall be deemed disbursed as of the date on which the Person to whom payment is made receives the same. The execution of this Agreement by Borrower shall, and hereby does, constitute an irrevocable authorization so to advance the proceeds of the Loan directly to any such Person or through the Title Company to such Persons in accordance with this Section 2.14.4 as amounts become due and payable to them hereunder and any portion of the Loan so disbursed by Lender shall be deemed disbursed as of the date on which the Person to whom payment is made receives the same. No further authorization from Borrower shall be necessary to warrant such direct Advances to such relevant Person, and all such Advances shall satisfy pro tanto the obligations of Lender hereunder and shall be secured by the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents as fully as
if made directly to Borrower.
2.14.5 One Advance Per Month. Lender shall have no obligation to make Advances of the Loan more often than once in each calendar month except that Lender, in its sole discretion, shall have the right but not the obligation, to make additional advances per month for interest, fees and expenses due under the Loan Documents.
2.14.6 Advances Do Not Constitute a Waiver. No Advance shall constitute a waiver of any of the conditions of Lender’s obligation to make further Advances nor, in the event Borrower is unable to satisfy any such condition, shall any Advance have the effect of precluding Lender from thereafter declaring such inability to be an Event of Default hereunder.
2.14.7 Trust Fund Provisions. All proceeds advanced hereunder shall be subject to the trust fund provisions of Section 13 of the Lien Law. Nothing contained in this Agreement is intended to constitute a promise by Borrower, express or implied, or to create any obligation, express or implied, on the part of Borrower, to make an “improvement,” as such term is defined in the Lien Law of the State of New York, and no advance o
f proceeds of the Loan shall at any time be conditioned, directly or indirectly, upon the making of any such “improvement”.
2.14.8 Advances and Disbursements Under Completion Guaranty. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally authorizes Lender to make any disbursements of proceeds of the Loan or of any Reserve Funds held by Lender to Guarantor in accordance with the Guaranty of Completion.
Section 2.15 Interest Advances. Notwithstanding the requirements contained in Section 2.10, Section 2.11 and Section 2.12, and provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred, Lender shall make an Advance on each Payment Date during the Construction Term from the Interest Reserve Line Item, if and to the extent funds remain available under such line item, to pay interest then due under the Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if and to the extent that funds are available in the Additional Interest Reserve Deposit,
Lender shall first apply funds available in the Additional Interest Reserve Deposit to the payment of interest due, prior to making an Advance for such purpose. Nothing contained in this Section 2.15 shall limit or derogate from Borrower’s absolute and unconditional obligation to pay interest due under the Note.

Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender may, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies available to Lender, apply an
y sums then present in any or all of the Reserve Funds to the payment of the Debt in any order in its sole discretion. The Reserve Funds shall not constitute trust funds and may be commingled with other monies held by Lender. All interest on a Reserve Fund shall not be added to or become a part thereof and shall be the sole property of and shall be paid to Lender. Borrower shall be responsible for payment of any federal, state or local income or other tax applicable to the interest earned on the Reserve Funds credited or paid to Borrower. Borrower shall not, without obtaining the prior written consent of Lender, further pledge, assign or grant any security interest in any Reserve Fund or the monies deposited therein or permit any lien or encumbrance to attach thereto, or any levy to be made thereon, or any UCC-1 Financing Statements, except those naming Lender as the secured party, to be filed with respect thereto.

sustained on the investment of any funds constituting the Reserve Funds.

Section 8.2 Remedies.
(a) Upon the occurrence 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 Debt 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 all or any part of the Property. Any such actions taken by Lender shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singularly, successiv
ely, 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, equity or contract or as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower agrees that if an Event of Default is continuing (i) Lender is not subject to any “one action” or “election of remedies” law or rule, and (ii) all liens and other rights, remedies or privileges provided to Lender shall remain in full force and effect until Lender has exhausted all of its remedies against the Property and the Mortgage has been foreclosed, sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Debt or the Debt has been paid in full.
(b) With respect to Borrower and the Property, nothing contained herein or in any other Loan Document shall be construed as requiring Lender to resort to the Property for the satisfaction of any of the Debt in any preference or priority, and Lender may seek satisfaction out of the Property, or any part thereof, in its absolute discretion in respect of the Debt. In addition, 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, without limitation, the following circumstances: (i) in the event Borrower defaults beyond any applicable grace period in the payment of one or more scheduled paym
ents of principal and 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 of the Loan, 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, the Property shall remain subject to the Mortgage to secure payment of sums secured by the Mortgage and not previously recovered.
(c) 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 (the “Severed Loan 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) Business Days after notice has been given to Borrower by Lender of Lender’s intent to exercise its rights under such power. Borrower shall be obligated to pay any costs or expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, execution, recording or filing of the Severed Loan Documents and the Severed Loan Documents shall not contain any representations, warranties or covenants not contained in the Loan Documents and any such representations and warranties contained in the Severed Loan Documents will be given by Borrower only as of the Closing Date.
Section 8.3 Remedies Cumulative; Waivers. 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 singularly, concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in
Lender’s sole discretion. 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.

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, Borrower agrees that neither Lender nor its agents shall be liable for any monetary damag

(a) Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Lender from and against any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for Lender in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding commenced or threatened, whether or not Lender shall be designated a party thereto), that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against Lender in any manner relating to or arising out of (i) any breach by Borrower of its obligations under, or any material misrepresentation by Borrower contained in, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or (ii) th
e use or intended use of the proceeds of the Loan (collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided, however, that Borrower shall not have any obligation to Lender hereunder to the extent that such Indemnified Liabilities arise from the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct of Lender. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, defend and hold harmless set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it violates any law or public policy, Borrower shall pay the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by Lender.
(b) Borrower covenants and agrees to pay for or, if Borrower fails to pay, to reimburse Lender for, any fees and expenses incurred by any Rating Agency in connection with any consent, approval, waiver or confirmation obtained from such Rating Agency pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document and Lender shall be entitled to require payment of such fees and expenses as a condition precedent to the obtaining of any such consent, approval, waiver or confirmation.

assignee upon such documents and any such right to interpose or assert any such unrelated offset, counterclaim or defense in any such action or proceeding is hereby expressly waived by Borrower.
Section 10.16 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.

(b) This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are solely for the benefit of Lender and Borrower and nothing contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents 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 herein or therein. All conditions to the obligations of Lender to make the Loan hereunder are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of Lender and no other Person shall have standing to require satisfaction of such conditions in accordance with their terms or be entitled to assume that Lender will refuse to make the Loan in the absence of strict compliance with any or all thereof and no other Person shall under any cir
cumstances be deemed to be a beneficiary of such conditions, any or all of which may be freely waived in whole or in part by Lender if, in Lender’s sole discretion, Lender deems it advisable or desirable to do so.
Section 10.17 Publicity. All news releases, publicity or advertising by Borrower or its Affiliates through any media intended to reach the general public which refers to the Loan Documents or the financing evidenced by the Loan Documents, to Lender, BSCMI, or any of their Affiliates shall be subject to the prior written approval of Lender.

tead 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 the Property for the collection of the Debt without any prior or different resort for collection or of the right of Lender to the payment of the Debt out of the net proceeds of the Property in preference to every other claimant whatsoever.
Section 10.19 Waiver of Counterclaim. 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.
Section 10.20 Identical Obligations; Conflict; Construction of Documents; Reliance. To the extent that Borrower has identical obligations under this Agreement and under any of the other Loan Agreements, performance by Borrower of such obligations under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Agreements shall be deemed performance by Borrower, as applicable, under all such Loan Agreements and hereunder of such obligations.
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 an

#8217;s attorneys’ fees and expenses) in any way relating to or arising from a claim by any Person that such Person acted on behalf of Borrower or Lender in connection with the transactions contemplated herein. The provisions of this Section 10.21 shall survive the expiration and termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Debt.
Section 10.22 Prior Agreements. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents contain the entire agreement of the parties hereto and thereto in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and all prior agreements among or between such parties, whether oral or written, including, without limitation, the Commitment Letter dated August 9, 2007 between Borrower and Lender are superseded by the terms of this Agr

Section 10.23 Joint and Several Liability. If Borrower consists of more than one (1) Person the obligations and liabilities of each Person shall be joint and several.

The rights described above in this Section 10.24 may be exercised by any entity which owns and controls, directly or indirectly, substantially all of the interests in Lender.
Section 10.25 MERS. Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“MERS”), serves as mortgagee of record and secured party solely as nominee, in an administrative capacity, for Lender and only holds legal title to the interests granted, assigned, and transferred in the Mortgage and the Assignments
of Leases. MERS shall at all times comply with the instructions of Lender. If necessary to comply with law or custom, MERS (for the benefit of Lender) may be directed by Lender to exercise any or all of those interests, including without limitation, the right to foreclose and sell the Property, and take any action required of Lender, including without limitation, a release, discharge or reconveyance of the Mortgage. Subject to the foregoing, all references in the Loan Documents to “Mortgagee” shall include Lender and its successors and assigns. The relationship of Mortgagor and Lender under the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents is, and shall at all times remain, solely that of borrower and lender (the role of MERS thereunder being solely that of nominee as set forth above and not that of a lender); and Mortgagee neither undertakes nor assumes any responsibility or duty to Borrower or to any other Person with respect to the Property.

ARTICLE II.
GENERAL TERMS
Section 2.1 Loan Commitment; Disbursement to Borrower

2.1.4 Use of Proceeds.

If Borrower becomes aware of any change in actual or projected Project-Related Costs which will increase any one or more category or line item of costs reflected in the Development Budget, Borrower shall immediately notify Lender in writing and promptly submit to Lender for its approval a revised Development Budget. Any reallocation of any category or line items in the Development Budget in connection with cost overruns shall be subject to Lender’s approval in Lender’s sole discretion except as
set forth in Sections 2.1.7 and 5.1.33, provided, however, under no circumstances shall Borrower be permitted, or Lender obligated to approve, the reallocation of line items from the Building Loan Budget to the Project Loan Budget. Lender shall have no obligation to make any further Advances unless and until the revised Development Budget so submitted by Borrower is approved by Lender and Borrower has satisfied its obligations with respect to any resulting Shortfall under Section 2.1.10. Lender reserves the right to approve or disapprove any revised Development Budget in its sole and absolute discretion (except with respect to reallocations in accordance with Sections 2.1.7
and 5.1.33).
2.1.7 Contingency Reserve. Following the satisfaction of the Initial Advance Conditions, and subject to the prior approval of Lender in its sole discretion, Borrower may revise the Building Loan Budget to move (i) amounts available under any Line Item for Hard Costs that are designated to “Contingency” to other Line Items for Hard Costs in the Building Loan Budget, or (ii) amounts available under any Line Item for Soft Costs that are designated “Contingency” to other Line Items for Soft Costs in the Building Loan
Budget. Any cost savings shall be allocated in accordance with Section 5.1.33 hereof.

The Contingency Line Item in the Building Loan Budget for Hard Costs shall contain at least five percent (5%) of the total projected Hard Costs, separate from the Contingency Line Items in the Project Loan Budget.
2.1.8 Stored Materials. Lender shall not be required to disburse any funds for any materials, machinery or other Personal Property not yet incorporated into the Project Improvements (the “Stored Materials”), unless the following conditions are satisfied:
(a) Borrower shall deliver to Lender bills of sale or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender of the cost of, and, subject to the payment therefor, Borrower’s title in and to such Stored Materials;
(b) The Stored Materials are identified to the Property and Borrower, are segregated so as to adequately give notice to all third parties of Borrower’s title in and to such materials, and are components in substantially final form ready for incorporation into the Project Improvements;
(c) The Stored Materials are stored at the Property or at such other third-party owned and operated site as Lender shall reasonably approve, and are protected against theft and damage in a manner satisfactory to Lender, including, if requested by Lender, storage in a bonded warehouse in the greater metropolitan area in which the Property is located;

2.1.9 Amount of Advances. In no event shall any Advance exceed the full amount of Building Loan Costs theretofore paid or to be paid with the proceeds of such Advance plus any Building Loan Costs incurred by Borrower through the date of the Draw Request for such Advance minus (i) the applicable Retainage for each Contract and Subcontract, and (ii) the aggregate amount of any Advances previously made by Lender. It
is further understood that the Retainage described above is intended to provide a contingency fund protecting Lender against failure of Borrower or Guarantor to fulfill any obligations under the Loan Documents, and that Lender may charge amounts to pay for Building Loan Costs against such Retainage in the event Lender is required or elects to expend funds to cure any Default or Event of Default, in either instance, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. No Advance of the Loan by Lender shall be deemed to be an approval or acceptance by the Lender of any work performed thereon or the materials furnished with respect thereto.
2.1.10 Loan-In-Balance. As used herein, a “Shortfall” shall mean, as to any Line Item in the Development Budget as of any date, the amount determined by Lender, in Lender’s sole but reasonable judgment, by which (A) the cost of completing or satisfying such Line Item, exceeds (B) the remaining undisbursed portion of the Loan allocated to such Line Item in the Development Budget plus any sums deposited with Lender pursuant to this Section 2.1.10 to pay for such Line Item and not previously disbursed plus any Reserve Funds to the extent such Reserve Funds are available hereunder for the payment of such Line Item. From time to time and at any time during the Construction Period, Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, to notify Borrower that it has determined a Shortfall exists as to any one or more Line Items. If Lender at any time shall so notify Borrower, Borrower shall, at its option within five (5) days of Lender’s notification as aforesaid, either: (i) deposit with Lender an amount equal to such Shortfall, which Lender disburse to Borrower to the satisfaction of the costs of such Line Item prior to advancing any further Loan proceeds on account of such costs; (ii) post an irrevocable standby Letter of Credit in the amount of such Shortfall, in favor of Lender; (iii) to the extent permitted under Sections 2.1.7 and 5.1.33, and following the satisfaction of the Initial Advance Conditions allocate the Contingency Reserve, with respect to the Line Item(s) in question, to the Shortfall, and provided, further that the amount of the remaining Contingency Reserve for such Line Item(s) (following the allocation to the Shortfall) is sufficient for such Line Item(s), as determined by Lender in its sole discretion; and (iv) to the extent permitted under Section 5.1.33, and then only following the satisfaction of the Initial Advance Conditions, reallocate cost savings from the Development Budget in respect of the Loan (or other reallocations which are approved by Lender, in its sole discretion) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, but only to the extent such cost savings can be allocated t
o the related Line Items. Borrower hereby agrees that Lender shall have a lien on and security interest in, for the benefit of Lender, any sums deposited pursuant to clause (i) above and that Borrower shall have no right to withdraw any such sums except for the payment of the aforesaid costs as approved by Lender. Lender shall have no obligation to make any further Advances of proceeds of the Loan as to any Line Item until the sums required to be deposited pursuant to clause (i) above as to such Line Item have been exhausted, or until Borrower has posted an irrevocable standby Letter of Credit pursuant to clause (iii) above, as the case may be, and, in any such case, the Loan is back “in balance”. Any such sums not used as provided in said clause (i) shall be released to Borrower when and to the extent that Lender reasonably determines that the amount thereof is more than the excess, if any, of the remaining Project-Related Costs over the undisbursed balance of the Loan, provided, however, that should an Event of Default occur, Lender, in its sole discretion, may apply such amounts either to the remaining Project-Related Costs or to the immediate reduction of outstanding principal and/or interest under the Note.
2.1.11 Quality of Work. No Advance or any portion thereof shall be made with respect to defective work or to any contractor that has performed work that is defective and that has not been cured, as confirmed by the report of the Construction Consultant, but Lender may disburse all or part of any Advance before the sum shall become due if Lender believes it advisable to do so, and all such Advances or parts thereof shall be deemed to have been made pursuant to this Agreement.
2.1.12 Required Equity Funds. All Required Equity Funds shall be contributed (i.e., expended by Borrower and invested by Borrower in the Property, for Project–Related Costs set forth on the approved Development Budget) before the Closing Date.
2.1.13 Trust Fund. Pursuant to Section 13 of the New York Lien Law, Borrower shall receive the Advances hereunder and shall hold the right to receive the Advances as a trust fund to be applied first for the purpose of paying the Costs of the Improvements and shall apply the Advances first to the payment of the Cost of the Improvements on the Property before using any part of the total of the same for any other purpose.
2.1.14 Final Project Report and Development Budget. Attached hereto as Schedule II is Borrower’s detailed and definitive budget of all Project-Related Costs to be incurred by Borrower during the Construction Term and that will be disbursed out of Loan proceeds subject to availability and satisfaction of all applicable conditions to Advances hereunder and under the Project Loan Agreement, being so indicated, delineated by each category of Project-Rel
ated Costs (each a “Line Item” or “Budget Line”) and further broken down to segregate Building Loan Costs and Project Loan Costs, which budget has been approved by Lender and Construction Consultant (the “Development Budget”). The portion of the Development Budget that includes only Building Loan Costs is referred to herein as the “Building Loan Budget” and the portion of the Development Budget that includes only Project Loan Costs is referred to herein as the “Project Loan Budget.”
2.1.15 Miscellaneous.
(a) The making of an Advance by Lender shall not constitute Lender’s approval or acceptance of the construction theretofore completed. Lender’s inspection and approval of the Plans and Specifications, the construction of the Project Improvements, or the workmanship and materials used therein, shall impose no liability of any kind on Lender, the sole obligation of Lender as the result of such inspection and approval being to make the Advances if and to the extent, required by this Agreement.
(b) ALL POTENTIAL LIENORS ARE HEREBY CAUTIONED TO EXERCISE SOUND BUSINESS JUDGMENT IN THE EXTENSION OF CREDIT TO BORROWER. NO POTENTIAL LIENOR SHOULD EXPECT LENDER TO MAKE ADVANCES OF THE LOAN IN AMOUNTS AND AT TIMES SUCH THAT IT WILL NOT BE NECESSARY FOR EACH SUCH POTENTIAL LIENOR TO EXERCISE SOUND BUSINESS JUDGMENT IN THE EXTENSION OF CREDIT TO BORROWER. MOREOVER, ALL POTENTIAL LIENORS ARE REMINDED THAT SUBDIVISION (3) OF SECTION 13 OF THE NEW YORK LIEN LAW PROVIDES THAT “NOTHING IN THIS SUBDIVISION SHALL BE CONSIDERED AS IMPOSING UPON THE LENDER ANY OBLIGATION TO SEE THE PROPER APPLICATION OF SUCH ADVANCES BY THE OWNER,” AND LENDER DOES NOT IMPOSE SUCH AN OBLIGATION ON ITSELF.
Section 2.2 Interest Rate.
2.2.1 Interest Rate. Interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan shall accrue from (and include) the Closing Date to but excluding the Maturity Date at the Interest Rate calculated as set forth in Section 2.2.2 below.
2.2.2 Interest Calculation. Interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan shall be calculated by multiplying (a) the actual number of days elapsed in the period for which the calculation is being made by (b) a daily rate based on the Interest Rate and a three hundred sixty (360) day year by (c) the outstanding principal balance.
2.2.3 Default Rate. In the event that, and for so long as, any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the outstanding principal balance of the Loan and, to the extent permitted by law, all accrued and unpaid interest in respect of the Loan and any other amounts due pursuant to the Loan Documents, shall accrue interest at the Default Rate, calculated from the date such payment was due without regard to any grace or cure periods contained herein.
2.2.4 Usury Savings. This Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents are subject to the express condition that at no time shall Borrower be obligated or required to pay interest on the principal balance of the Loan at a rate which could subject Lender to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate. If, by the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the principal balance due hereunder at a rate in excess of t
he Maximum Legal Rate, the Interest Rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to the Maximum Legal Rate and all previous payments in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of principal and not on account of the interest due hereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the sums due under the Loan, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of the Loan until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Loan does not exceed the Maximum Legal Rate of interest from time to time in effect and applicable to the Loan for so long as the Loan is outstanding.
Section 2.3 Loan Payment.
2.3.1 Monthly Debt Service Payments. Borrower shall pay to Lender (a) on the Closing Date, an amount equal to interest only on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan from and including the Closing Date up to and including December 31, 2007, which interest shall be calculated in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.2 hereof, and (b) on each Payment Date commencing on the Payment Date occ
urring in February, 2008 and thereafter up to and including the Maturity Date, Borrower shall make a payment to Lender equal to the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount, which payments shall be applied first to interest due for the related Interest Period at the Interest Rate, for such related Interest Period and then to the principal amount of the Loan due in accordance with this Agreement, and lastly, to any other amounts due and unpaid pursuant to the Loan Documents hereto. Borrower and Lender acknowledge and agree that, on the 15th calendar day of the month preceding each Payment Date during the Construction Term: (a) if and to the extent undrawn funds remain available for Advance under the Project Loan from the Interest Reserve Line Item of the Project Loan Budget, and provided that that no Event of Default or monetary Default then exists under any of the Loan Documents or would occur as a result of such Project Loa
n Advance, the Monthly Debt Service Amount then due and owing shall be advanced by Lender by a Project Loan Advance under Interest Reserve Line Item of the Project Loan Budget; and (b) if no amount remains available under the Interest Reserve Line Item but and to the extent Interest Reserve Funds are on deposit in the Interest Reserve Account, and no Event of Default or monetary Default then exists under any of the Loan Documents, the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount then due and payable shall be paid by application of funds from the Interest Reserve Account. Borrower and Lender acknowledge and agree that Lender may automatically make a Project Loan Advance or apply Interest Reserve Funds on deposit in the Interest Reserve Account on each Payment Date occurring during the Construction Term, in either instance, in accordance with this Section 2.3.1, without the need for Borrower to submit a Draw Reques
t or otherwise request such an Advance or application.

yments hereunder, but not for purposes of calculating Interest Periods, if the day on which such payment is due is not a Business Day, then amounts due on such date shall be due on the immediately preceding Business Day and with respect to payments of principal due on the Maturity Date, interest shall be payable at the Interest Rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, through and including the day immediately preceding such Maturity Date. All amounts due under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be payable without setoff, counterclaim, defense or any other deduction whatsoever.
2.3.3 Payment on Maturity Date. Borrower shall pay to Lender on the Maturity Date the outstanding principal balance of the Loan, all accrued and unpaid interest and all other amounts due hereunder and under the Note, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents.
2.3.4 Late Payment Charge. If any principal, interest or any other sums due under the Loan Documents (including the amounts due on the Maturity Date) are not paid by Borrower on or prior to the date on which it is due, Borrower shall pay to Lender upon demand an amount equal to the lesser of five percent (5%) of such unpaid sum or the Maximum Legal Rate in order to defray the expense incurred by Lender in handling and processing such delinquent payment and to compensate Lender for the lo
ss of the use of such delinquent payment. Any such amount shall be secured by the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents to the extent permitted by applicable law.

If for any reason Borrower prepays the Loan on a date other than a Payment Date, Borrower shall pay Lender, in addition to the Debt, all interest which would have a
ccrued on the amount of the Loan through and including the Payment Date next occurring following the date of such prepayment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, commencing after the Payment Date three (3) months prior to the Maturity Date (the "Open Period Date"), or on any Payment Date thereafter (or on any date thereafter, provided that interest is paid through the next Payment Date), Borrower may, at its option, prepay the Debt in whole, but not in part, without payment of the Yield Maintenance Premium.
2.4.2 Mandatory Prepayments. On the next occurring Payment Date following the date on which Lender actually receives any Net Proceeds, if Lender is not obligated to make such Net Proceeds available to Borrower for the Restoration of the Property or otherwise remit such Net Proceeds to Borrower pursuant to Section 6.4 hereof, Borrower shall prepay or authorize Lender to apply Net Proceeds as a prepayment of all or a portion of the outstanding principal bal
ance of the Loan together with accrued interest through the end of the related Interest Period and any other sums due hereunder in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of such Net Proceeds; provided, however, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender may apply such Net Proceeds to the Debt (until paid in full) in any order or priority in its sole discretion. Other than following an Event of Default, no Yield Maintenance Premium shall be due in connection with any prepayment made pursuant to this Section 2.4.2.
2.4.3 Prepayments After Default. If following an Event of Default, payment of all or any part of the Debt is tendered by Borrower or otherwise recovered by Lender, such tender or recovery shall be (a) made on the next occurring Payment Date together with the Monthly Debt Service Payment and (b) deemed a voluntary prepayment by Borrower in violation of the prohibition against prepayment set forth in Section 2.4.1 hereof and Borrower shall pay, in addition
to the Debt, an amount equal to the Yield Maintenance Default Premium.
2.4.4 Prepayment Prior to Defeasance Expiration Date. If the Permitted Release Date has occurred but the Defeasance Expiration Date has not occurred, the Debt may be prepaid in whole (but not in part) prior to the date permitted under Section 2.4.1 hereof upon not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice to Lender specifying the Payment Date on which prepayment is to be made (a “Prepayment Date”) provided no Event of Default exists and upon payment of an amount equal to the Yield Maintenance Premium.
;Lender shall notify Borrower of the amount and the basis of determination of the required prepayment consideration. If any notice of prepayment is given, the Debt shall be due and payable on the Prepayment Date. Lender shall not be obligated to accept any prepayment of the Debt unless it is accompanied by the prepayment consideration due in connection therewith. If for any reason Borrower prepays the Loan on a date other than a Payment Date, Borrower shall pay Lender, in addition to the Debt, all interest which would have accrued on the amount of the Loan through and including the Payment Date next occurring following the date of such prepayment.
2.4.5 Application of Prepayments to Components. Any prepayment of the principal of the Loan, in whole or in part, voluntary or involuntary, shall be applied (a) first, to the reduction of the outstanding principal balance of the Project Loan until reduced to zero, and (b) second, to the reduction of the outstanding principal balance of the Building Loan until reduced to zero. Subsequent to any Event of Default, any payment of principal from whatever source may be applied by Lender between the various components of the Loan in
Lender’s sole discretion.

The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by Borrower will not conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance (other than pursuant to the Loan Documents) upon any of the property or assets of Borrower pursuant to the terms of any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, partnership agreement, management agreement or other agreement
or instrument to which Borrower is a party or by which any of Borrower’s property or assets is subject, nor will such action result in any violation of the provisions of any statute or any order, rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over Borrower or any of Borrower’s properties or assets, and any consent, approval, authorization, order, registration or qualification of or with any court or any such Governmental Authority required for the execution, delivery and performance by Borrower of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents has been obtained and is in full force and effect.
4.1.4 Litigation. There are no actions, suits or proceedings at law or in equity by or before any Governmental Authority or other agency now pending, or threatened against or affecting Borrower, Guarantor or the Property, which actions, suits or proceedings, if determined against Borrower, Guarantor or the Property, might materially adversely affect the condition (financial or otherwise) or business of Borrower, Guarantor or the condition or ownership of the Property.
4.1.5 Agreements. Borrower is not a party to any agreement or instrument or subject to any restriction which might materially and adversely affect Borrower or the Property, or Borrower’s business, properties or assets, operations or condition, financial or otherwise. Borrower is not in default in any material respect in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions contained in any agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which Borrower or the Property is bound.
Borrower has no material financial obligation under any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement or other agreement or instrument to which Borrower is a party or by which Borrower or the Property is otherwise bound, other than (a) obligations incurred in the ordinary course of the operation of the Property as permitted pursuant to clause (xx) of the definition of “Special Purpose Entity” set forth in Section 1.1 hereof and (b) obligations under the Loan Documents.
4.1.6 Title. Borrower has good, marketable and insurable leasehold title to the real property comprising part of the Property and good title to the balance of the Property, free and clear of all Liens whatsoever except the Permitted Encumbrances, such other Liens as are permitted pursuant to the Loan Documents and the Liens created by the Loan Documents. The Permitted Encumbrances in the aggregate do not materially and adversely affect the value, operation or use of the Property (as currently used) or Borrower’s ability
to repay the Loan. The Mortgage, when properly recorded in the appropriate records, together with any Uniform Commercial Code financing statements required to be filed in connection therewith, will create (a) a valid, perfected first priority lien on the Property, subject only to Permitted Encumbrances and the Liens created by the Loan Documents and (b) perfected security interests in and to, and perfected collateral assignments of, all personalty (including the Leases), all in accordance with the terms thereof, in each case subject only to any applicable Permitted Encumbrances, such other Liens as are permitted pursuant to the Loan Documents and the Liens created by the Loan Documents.

4.1.7 Solvency. Borrower has (a) not entered into this transaction or executed the Note, this Agreement or any other Loan Documents with the actual intent to hinder, delay or defraud any creditor and (b) received reasonably equivalent value in exchange for its obligations under such Loan Documents. Giving effect to the Loan, the fair saleable value of Borrower’s assets exceeds and will, immediately following the making of the Loan, exceed Borrower’s total liabilities, including, without limitation, subordinated, un
liquidated, disputed and contingent liabilities. The fair saleable value of Borrower’s assets is and will, immediately following the making of the Loan, be greater than Borrower’s probable liabilities, including the maximum amount of its contingent liabilities on its debts as such debts become absolute and matured. Borrower’s assets do not and, immediately following the making of the Loan will not, constitute unreasonably small capital to carry out its business as conducted or as proposed to be conducted. Borrower does not intend to, and does not believe that it will, incur debt and liabilities (including contingent liabilities and other commitments) beyond its ability to pay such debt and liabilities as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be received by Borrower and the amounts to be payable on or in respect of obligations of Borrower). No petition in bankruptcy has been filed against Borrower or any Guarantor in th
e last seven (7) years, and neither Borrower nor any Guarantor in the last seven (7) years has ever made an assignment for the benefit of creditors or taken advantage of any insolvency act for the benefit of debtors. Neither Borrower nor any Guarantor is 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 Borrower’s assets or property, and Borrower has no knowledge of any Person contemplating the filing of any such petition against it or such constituent Persons.
4.1.8 Full and Accurate Disclosure. No statement of fact made by Borrower in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make statements contained herein or therein not misleading. There is no material fact presently known to Borrower which has not been disclosed to Lender which adversely affects, nor as far as Borrower can foresee, might adversely affect, the Property or the business, operations or condition (financial o
r otherwise) of Borrower.

ctions by or with Borrower are not subject to any state or other statute , regulation or other restriction regulating investments of, or fiduciary obligations with respect to, governmental plans within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA which is similar to the provisions of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and which prohibit or otherwise restrict the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including but not limited to the exercise by Lender of any of its rights under the Loan Documents.
4.1.10 Compliance. Borrower and the Property and the use thereof comply in all material respects with all applicable Legal Requirements, including, without limitation, building and zoning ordinances and codes.

Since the date of such financial statements, there has been no materially adverse change in the financial condition, operations or business of Borrower from that set forth in said financial statements.

(d) Intentionally Omitted.
(e) All insurance provided for in this Section 6.1 shall be obtained under valid and enforceable policies (collectively, the “Policies” or in the singular, the “Policy”), and, to the extent not specified above, shall be subject to the approval of Lender as to deductibles, loss payees and insureds. The Policies described in Section 6.1 hereof (other than those strictly limited to liability protection) shall designate Lender as loss payee.

es of the Policies theretofore furnished to Lender, certificates of insurance evidencing the Policies and within thirty (30) days after commencement of the new or renewal Policy evidence satisfactory to Lender of payment of the premiums due thereunder (the “Insurance Premiums”), shall be delivered by Borrower to Lender.
(f) Prior to the renewal or replacement of any Policy (the “Existing Policy”), any required insurance may be procured under a blanket insurance Policy covering the Property and other properties or assets of Borrower or its affiliates, provided that any such blanket insurance Policy shall specifically allocate to the Property the amount of coverage from time to time required hereunder and shall otherwise provide the same protection as would a separate Policy insuring only the Property in compliance with the provisions of this Article VI. Lender, in its reasonable discretion,
shall determine whether such blanket Policies provide sufficient limits of insurance.
(g) Unless otherwise specified, all Policies of insurance provided for or contemplated by this Article VI shall, in the case of property damage, builder’s risk, boiler and machinery, flood and earthquake insurance, name Borrower as the insured and Lender (for the ratable benefit of Lenders and their successors and/or assigns) as the additional insured and shall contain a so-called New York standard non-contributing mortgagee clause or its equivalent in favor of Lender (including Lender as mortgagee and loss payee) providing that the loss thereunder shall be payable to Lender for the ratable benefit of Lenders and providing thirty (30) days’
; advance notice of cancellation to Lender.
(h) All Property insurance also shall include a co-insurance waiver and Agreed Amount Endorsement. The amount of any deductible under any Policy must be reasonably acceptable to Lender.

ch tenant improvements and betterments that Borrower is required to insure pursuant to the applicable Lease.
(i) Each Policy shall contain a provision whereby the insurer: (i) agrees that such Policy shall not be canceled or terminated, the coverage, deductible, and limits of such Policy shall not be modified, other provisions of such Policy shall not be modified if such Policy, after giving effect to such modification, would not satisfy the requirements of this Agreement, and such Policy shall not be so modified, canceled or fail to be renewed, without in each case, at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to Lender, (ii) waives any right to claim any Insurance Premiums and commissions against Lender or any Lender, provided that the Policy need not waive the requirement that the Insurance Premiums be paid in order for a cl
aim to be paid to the insured and (iii) provides that Lender is permitted to make payments to effect the continuation of such policy upon notice of cancellation due to non-payment of premiums. In the event any Policy (except for general public and other liability and Workers Compensation insurance) shall contain breach of warranty provisions, such Policy shall not be invalidated by and shall insure Lender for the benefit of Lenders regardless of (A) any act, failure to act or negligence of or violation of warranties, declarations or conditions contained in such Policy by any named insured, (B) the occupancy or use of the Property for purposes more hazardous than permitted by the terms thereof, or (C) any foreclosure or other action or proceeding taken by Lender pursuant to any provision of the Mortgage or any other Loan Document.
(j) Borrower shall pay the Insurance Premiums for the Policies as the same become due and payable. Borrower shall deliver to Lender certified copies of the Policies required to be maintained pursuant to this Article VI; provided, however, Lender shall not be deemed by reason of the custody of such Policies to have knowledge of the contents thereof. Borrower also shall deliver to Lender within ten (10) days after Lender’s request, a statement setting forth the particulars as to all such Policies,
indicating that all Insurance Premiums due thereon have been paid and that the same are in full force and effect. Not later than fifteen (15) days prior to the expiration date of each Policy, Borrower shall deliver to Lender a certificate of insurance evidencing renewal of coverage as required herein. Not later than thirty (30) days after the renewal or replacement of each of the Policies, Borrower shall deliver to Lender evidence of payment of Insurance Premiums for such renewal or replacement Policies satisfactory to the Lender and not later than sixty (60) days after the renewal or replacement of each of the Policies, Borrower shall deliver to Lender an original or certified copy (as required pursuant to this paragraph) of a renewal or replacement Policy or Policies.
(k) If at any time Lender is not in receipt of written evidence that all insurance required hereunder is maintained in full force and effect, Lender shall have the right (but not the obligation), upon notice to Borrower, to take such action as Lender deems necessary to protect Lenders’ interest in the Property, including, without limitation, the obtaining of such insurance coverage as Lender in its sole discretion deems appropriate after three (3) Business Days notice to Borrower if prior to the date upon which any such coverage will lapse or at any time Lender deems necessary (regardless of prior notice to Borrower) to avoid the lapse of any such coverage. All Insurance 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 Building Loan Mortgage and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.
(l) In the event of foreclosure of the Building Loan Mortgage and/or the Project Loan Mortgage or other transfer of title to the Property in extinguishment in whole or in part of the Total Debt, all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to the Policies that are not blanket Policies then in force concerning the Property and all proceeds payable thereunder shall thereupon vest in the purchaser at such foreclosure or Lender or other transferee in the event of such other transfer of title.

Borrower shall pay all costs of such Restoration whether or not such costs are covered by the Net Proceeds. Lender may, but shall not be obligated to, make proof of loss if not made promptly by Borrower. In addition, Lender may participate in any settlement discussions with any insurance companies (and shall approve the final settlement, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) with respect to any Casualty in which the Net Proceeds or the costs of completing the Restoration are equal to or greater than One Million and 00/100 Dollars ($1,000,000.00) and Borrower shall deliver to Lender all instruments required by Lender to permit such participation.
6.2.2 Condemnation. Borrower shall give Lender prompt notice of any actual or threatened commencement of any proceeding for the Condemnation by any Governmental Authority of all or any part of the Property and shall deliver to Lender a copy of any and all papers served in connection with such proceedings.

#160; Borrower shall, at its expense, diligently prosecute any such proceedings, and shall consult with Lender, its attorneys and experts, and cooperate with them in the carrying on or defense of any such proceedings. Notwithstanding any Condemnation, Borrower shall continue to pay the Total Debt at the time and in the manner provided for its payment in the Building Loan Note and the Project Loan Note and in this Agreement and the Project Loan Agreement. Lenders shall not be limited to the interest paid on the Award by any Governmental Authority but shall be entitled to receive out of the Award interest and additional interest (if any) at the rate or rates provided in this Agreement or in the Building Loan Note or in the Project Loan Agreement or in the Project Loan Note, as applicable and the Debt shall not be reduced until any Award shall have been actually received and applied by Lender, after the deduction of expenses of collection, to the reduction or discharge of the Debt.
60; If the Property or any portion thereof is taken by any Governmental Authority, Borrower shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the Restoration of the Property pursuant to this Section 6.2 and otherwise comply with the provisions of hereof. If the Property is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Lender of the Award, Lender shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Building Loan Note or the Project Loan Note shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive the Award, or a portion thereof sufficient to pay the Total Debt. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 6.2 or this Agreement to the contrary, Lender may, in its sole discretion, elect to (y) apply the net proceeds of any Condemnation Proceeds (after deduction of Lender’s reaso
nable costs and expenses, if any, in collecting the same) in reduction of the Total Debt in such order and manner as Lender may elect, whether due or not, or (z) make the proceeds available to Borrower for the restoration or repair of the Property. Any implied covenant in this Agreement restricting the right of Lender to make such an election is waived by Borrower. If the Condemnation Proceeds are made available to Borrower for restoration or repair, the Condemnation Proceeds shall be disbursed upon satisfaction of and in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 6.2.
6.2.3 Application of Net Proceeds.

applied in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. Except upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower may settle any insurance claim with respect to Net Proceeds which do not One Million and 00/100 Dollars ($1,000,000.00) (the “Restoration Threshold”). Whether or not an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Lender shall have the right to approve, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, any settlement which would in Lender’s reasonable judgment result in Net Proceeds which exceed the Restoration Threshold and Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Lender all instruments reasonably requested by Lender to permit such approval.

If any Proceeds are received by Borrower and may be retained by Borrower pursuant to this Section 6.2, such Proceeds shall, until the completion of the related Work, be held in trust for Lender for the ratable benefit of Lenders and shall be segregated from other funds of Borrower to be used to pay for the cost of the Restoration in accordance with the terms hereof, and to the extent such Proceeds exceed the Restoration Threshold, such Proceeds shall be fo
rthwith paid directly to and held by Lender to be applied or disbursed in accordance with this Article VI. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, or if Borrower fails to file any insurance claim for a period of fifteen (15) Business Days, or to prosecute same with commercially reasonable diligence following Borrower’s receipt of written notice to do so from Lender, Borrower hereby irrevocably empowers Lender, in the name of Borrower as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact, to file and prosecute such claim (including settlement thereof) with counsel satisfactory to Lender and to collect and to make receipt for any such payment, all at Borrower’s expense (including payment of interest at the Default Rate for any amounts advanced by Lender pursuant to this sentence).

ARTICLE VII.
RESERVE FUNDS
Section 7.1 Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund. On the date hereof, Borrower shall pay or cause to be paid, all Taxes, Insurance Premiums and Other Charges that will be payable on or prior to January 2, 2008. Simultaneously with the Initial Advance, Borrower shall deposit with Lender an amount (the “Initial Tax and Insurance Escrow Deposit”) equal to the Taxes, Insurance Premiums and Other Charges that Lender estimates will be payable from and after the date of the
Initial Advance through and including the date that the Second Tax and Insurance Escrow Deposit is payable, which shall be funded from the Project Loan Advance. At least thirty (30) day prior to the first anniversary of the date hereof, Borrower shall deposit with Lender an amount (the “Second Tax and Insurance Escrow Deposit”) equal to the Taxes, Insurance Premiums and Other Charges that Lender estimates will be payable from and after the first anniversary of the date hereof through and including the last day of the Construction Term. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Project Loan Agreement concerning Advances, the Second Tax and Insurance Escrow Deposit shall be funded from an Advance of like amount under the Project Loan. Simultaneously with the Final Advance, Borrower shall pay to Lender an amount that, when added to the amounts payable under the next sentence, will be sufficient to accumulate w
ith Lender sufficient funds to pay all Taxes and Other Charges payable on the next due date thereof at least thirty (30) days prior to their respective due dates, and to pay all Insurance Premiums that Lender estimates will be payable for the next renewal of the coverage afforded by the Policies upon the expiration thereof at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Policies. In addition, Borrower shall pay to Lender (or shall cause Lender to advance) on each Payment Date occurring after the Construction Term (a) one-twelfth (1/12) of the Taxes and Other Charges that Lender estimates will be payable during the next ensuing twelve (12) months in order to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Taxes and Other Charges at least thirty (30) days prior to their respective due dates, and (b) one-twelfth (1/12) of the Insurance Premiums that Lender estimates will be payable for the renewal of the coverage afforded by the Policies upon the expiration thereof in order to accumu
late with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Insurance Premiums at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Policies (said amounts in (a) and (b) above hereinafter called the “Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund”). The Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund and the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount, shall be added together and shall be paid as an aggregate sum by Borrower to Lender. Lender will apply the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund to payments of Taxes and Insurance Premiums required to be made by Borrower pursuant to Section 5.1.2 hereof and under the Mortgage. In making any payment relating to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund, Lender may do so according to any bill, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office (with respect to Taxes) or insurer or agent (with respect to Insurance Premiums), witho
ut inquiry into the accuracy of such bill, statement or estimate or into the validity of any tax, assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim thereof. If the amount of the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund shall exceed the amounts due for Taxes, Other Charges and Insurance Premiums pursuant to Section 5.1.2 hereof, Lender shall, in its sole discretion, return any excess to Borrower or credit such excess against future payments to be made to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund. Any amount remaining in the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund after the Debt has been paid in full shall be returned to Borrower. If at any time Lender reasonably determines that the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund is not or will not be sufficient to pay Taxes, Other Charges and Insurance Premiums by the dates set forth in (a) and (b) above, Lender shall notify Borrower of such determination and Borrower shall increase
its monthly payments (or, if such determination is made during the Construction Term, Borrower shall deposit the full amount of such deficiency within 5 days of such notice) to Lender by the amount that Lender estimates is sufficient to make up the deficiency at least thirty (30) days prior to the due date of the Taxes and Other Charges and/or thirty (30) days prior to expiration of the Policies, as the case may be. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower’s obligation to make monthly deposits with Lender for Insurance Premiums shall be suspended for so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and Borrower provides Lender with written evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that all insurance coverages required to be maintained by Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement are being maintained in full force and effect through one or more blanket insurance policies (provided that any such blanket insurance policies provide the same level of coverage which would other
wise be provided by a stand-alone policy). Borrower shall provide evidence reasonably acceptable to Lender on an annual basis thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the existing insurance that the insurance has been renewed and will provide notice of cancellation for non-payment. In the event Borrower fails to provide such evidence or an Event of Default occurs, however, Borrower will thereafter be required to make deposits with Lender for Insurance Premiums as provided herein.
Section 7.2 Interest Reserve.
7.2.1 Deposit of Interest Reserve Funds. Simultaneously with the Initial Advance, Borrower shall deposit the sum of $5,970,398.00 with Lender (the “Initial Interest Reserve Deposit”), which shall be funded from the Initial Advance of the Project Loan. In addition, pursuant to Section 5.1.28(d), Borrower may be obligated to deposit an Additional Interest Reserve Dep
osit and in the event that Lender determines in its sole discretion that the Interest Reserve Funds on deposit in the Interest Reserve Account are insufficient, Borrower shall deposit with Lender an amount equal to the deficiency in the Interest Reserve Funds as determined by Lender (each an “Interest Reserve Deposit”, each such amount so deposited shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Interest Reserve Fund”). The account in which the Interest Reserve Fund are held shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrower’s “Interest Reserve Account”. In lieu of making the Interest Reserve Deposits with Lender, Borrower shall have the right to deliver to Lender an irrevocable Letter of Credit acceptable to Lender in the amount of the Interest Reserve Deposit.
7.2.2 Release of Interest Reserve Funds. Provided no Event of Default or monetary Default exists and no amounts remain available for Advance under the Interest Reserve Line Item of the Project Loan Budget, on each Payment Date, Lender shall apply the Interest Reserve Funds to payments of the Monthly Debt Service Payment due on such date.
7.2.3 Application of Interest Reserve Funds. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender, at its option, may withdraw all the Interest Reserve Funds and if Lender does so, shall apply the Interest Reserve Funds either to the payment of interest due on the Loan or toward payment of the Total Debt in such order, proportion and priority as Lender may determine in its sole discretion. Lender’s right to withdraw and apply the Interest Reserve Funds shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies provided to Lender under the Loan Documents.
Section 7.3 Replacements and Replacement Reserve.
7.3.1 Replacement Reserve Fund. From and after Completion of the Improvements, Borrower shall pay to Lender on each Payment Date an amount equal to $3,962.00 (the “Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposit”) for replacements and repairs required to be made to the Property (collectively, the “Replacements”). Amounts so deposited shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrower’s “Replacement Reserve Fund” and the account in which such amounts are held shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrower’s “Replacement Reserve Account”. Lender may reassess its estimate of the amount necessary for the Replacement Reserve Fund from time to time, and may increase the monthly amounts required to be deposited into the Replacement Reserve Fund upon thirty (30) days notice to Borrower if Lender determines in its reasonable discretion that an increase is necessary to maintain the proper maintenance and operation of the Property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall not be required to deposit any portion of the Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposit which would cause the amount then on deposit in the Replacement Reserve, as determined by Lender, to exceed $236,280 (the “Replacement Reserve Cap”). When the Replacement Reserve Funds on deposit in the Replacement Reserve Account equals or exceeds the Replacement Reserve Cap, Borrower may cease making Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposits to the Replacement Reserve Fund. If at any time thereafter the amount of the Replacement Reserve funds on deposit in the Replacement Reserve Account is less than the Replacement Reserve Cap, then Borrower shall recommence and continue making Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposits to the Replacement Reserve Funds, until the amount of Replacement Reserve Funds on deposit in the Replacement Reserve Account equal or exceed the Replacement Reserve Cap.
7.3.2 Disbursements from Replacement Reserve Account. (a) Lender shall make disbursements from the Replacement Reserve Account to pay Borrower only for the costs of the Replacements. Lender shall not be obligated to make disbursements from the Replacement Reserve Account to reimburse Borrower for the costs of routine maintenance to the Property, replacements of inventory or for costs which are a Tenant’s obligation.
(b) Lender shall, upon written request from Borrower and satisfaction of the requirements set forth in this Section 7.3.2, disburse to Borrower amounts from the Replacement Reserve Account necessary to pay for the actual approved costs of Replacements or to reimburse Borrower therefor, upon completion of such Replacements (or, upon partial completion in the case of Replacements made pursuant to Section 7.3.2(e) hereof) as determined by Lender.

le Legal Requirements of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Property. Each request for disbursement shall include copies of invoices for all items or materials purchased and all contracted labor or services provided and, unless Lender has agreed to issue joint checks as described below in connection with a particular Replacement, each request shall include evidence satisfactory to Lender of payment of all such amounts. Except as provided in Section 7.3.2(e) hereof, each request for disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account shall be made only after completion of the Replacement for which disbursement is requested. Borrower shall provide Lender evidence of completion of the subject Replacement satisfactory to Lender in its reasonable judgment.

In the case of payments made by joint check, Lender may require a waiver of lien from each Person receiving payment prior to Lender’s disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account. In addition, as a condition to any disbursement, Lender may require Borrower to obtain lien waiver
s from each contractor, supplier, materialman, mechanic or subcontractor who receives payment in an amount equal to or greater than Twenty-Five Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($25,000.00) for completion of its work or delivery of its materials. Any lien waiver delivered hereunder shall conform to the requirements of applicable law and shall cover all work performed and materials supplied (including equipment and fixtures) for the Property by that contractor, supplier, subcontractor, mechanic or materialman through the date covered by the current reimbursement request (or, in the event that payment to such contractor, supplier, subcontractor, mechanic or materialmen is to be made by a joint check, the release of lien shall be effective through the date covered by the previous release of funds request).
(e) If (i) the cost of a Replacement exceeds Twenty-Five Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($25,000.00), (ii) the contractor performing such Replacement requires periodic payments pursuant to terms of a written contract, and (iii) Lender has approved in writing in advance such periodic payments, a request for reimbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account may be made after completion of a portion of the work under such contract, provided (A) such contract requires payment upon completion of such portion of the work, (B) the materials for which the request is made are on site at the Property and are properly secured or have been installed in the Property, (C) all other conditions in this Agreement for disbursement have been satisfied, (

Upon Lender’s request, Borrower shall assign any contract or subcontract to Lender.
(c) In the event Lender determines in its reasonable discretion that any Replacement is not being performed in a workmanlike or timely manner or that any Replacement has not been completed in a workmanlike or timely manner, after notice and a reasonable period to cure, Lender shall have the option to withhold disbursement for such unsatisfactory Replacement and to proceed under existing contracts or to contract with third parties to complete such Replacement and to apply the Replacement Reserve Fund toward the labor and materials necessary to complete such Replacement, upon reasonable prior notice to Borrower and to exercise any and all other remedies available to Lender upon an Event of Default hereunder.
(d) In order to facilitate Lender’s completion or making of such Replacements pursuant to Section 7.3.3(c) above, Borrower grants Lender the right to enter onto the Property and perform any and all work and labor necessary to complete or make such Replacements and/or employ watchmen to protect the Property from damage. All sums so expended by Lender, to the extent not from the Replacement Reserve Fund, shall be deemed to have been advanced under the Loan to Borrower and secured by the Mortgage.

The Reserve Funds shall not constitute trust funds and may be commingled with other monies held by Lender. The Reserve Funds shall be held in an Eligible Account in Permitted Investments in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Cash Management Agreement. Interest earned on the Replacement Reserve Funds shall be added to and become a part of such Reserve Fund and shall be disbursed in the same manner as other monies deposited in such Reserve Fund. Any interest on the Rollover Reserve Funds, the Ground Rent Reserve Funds, the Cash Collateral Reserve Funds, the Punch List and Deferred Maintenance Reserve Funds, the Operating Reserve Funds, the Interest Reserve Funds, the Storage Facility Master Lease Reserve Fund and the Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds shall not be added to or become a p
art thereof and shall be the sole property of and shall be paid to Lender. Borrower shall be responsible for payment of any federal, state or local income or other tax applicable to the interest earned on the Reserve Funds credited or paid to Borrower. Borrower shall not, without obtaining the prior written consent of Lender, further pledge, assign or grant any security interest in any Reserve Fund or the monies deposited therein or permit any lien or encumbrance to attach thereto, or any levy to be made thereon, or any UCC-1 Financing Statements, except those naming Lender as the secured party, to be filed with respect thereto. Lender shall not be liable for any loss sustained on the investment of any funds constituting the Reserve Funds. Borrower shall indemnify Lender and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all actions, suits, claims, demands, liabilities, losses, damages, obligations and costs and expenses (including litigation costs and reasonable at
torneys fees and expenses) arising from or in any way connected with the Reserve Funds or the performance of the obligations for which the Reserve Funds were established. Borrower shall assign to Lender all rights and claims Borrower may have against all persons or entities supplying labor, materials or other services which are to be paid from or secured by the Reserve Funds; provided, however, that Lender may not pursue any such right or claim unless an Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured.
Section 7.12 Letter of Credit Rights. Any Letter of Credit delivered to Lender pursuant to this Agreement shall be held by Lender as additional security for the Loan. Lender shall have the right to draw upon any Letter of Credit immediately and without further notice:
(a) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default;
(b) if Borrower fails to deliver to Lender, no less than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of any Letter of Credit (including any renewal or extension thereof), a renewal or extension of such Letter of Credit or a replacement Letter of Credit; or
(c) if the institution issuing the Letter of Credit ceases to be an Approved Bank and Borrower fails to deliver to Lender a replacement Letter of Credit from an Approved Bank within thirty (30) days of the date that such institution ceased to be an Approved Bank.

Section 8.2 Remedies.
(a) Upon the occurrence 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 Debt 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 all or any part of the Property. Any such actions taken by Lender shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursue
d independently, singularly, 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, equity or contract or as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower agrees that if an Event of Default is continuing (i) to Lender is not subject to any “one action” or “election of remedies” law or rule, and (ii) all liens and other rights, remedies or privileges provided to Lender shall remain in full force and effect until Lender has exhausted all of its remedies against the Property and the Mortgage has been foreclosed, sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Debt or the Debt has been paid in full.
(b) With respect to Borrower and the Property, nothing contained herein or in any other Loan Document shall be construed as requiring Lender to resort to the Property for the satisfaction of any of the Debt in any preference or priority, and Lender may seek satisfaction out of the Property, or any part thereof, in its absolute discretion in respect of the Debt. In addition, 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, without limitation, 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 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 of the Loan, 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, the Property shall remain subject to the Mortgage to secure payment of sums secured by the Mortgage and not previously recovered.
(c) 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 (the “Severed Loan 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) Business Days after notice has been given to Borrower by Lender of Lender’s intent to exercise its rights under such power. Borrower shall be obligated to pay any costs or expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, execution, recording or filing of the Severed Loan Documents and the Severed Loan Documents shall not contain any representations, warranties or covenants not contained in the Loan Documents and any such representations and warranties contained in the Severed Loan Documents will be given by Borrower only as of the Closing Date.
Section 8.3 Remedies Cumulative; Waivers. 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 singularly, concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in Lender
8217;s sole discretion. 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.
ARTICLE IX.
SPECIAL PROVISIONS

Borrower acknowledges and agrees that Lender may sell all or any portion of the Loan and the Loan Documents, or issue one or more participations therein, or consummate one or more private or public securitizations of rated single- or multi-class securities (the “Securities”) secured by or evidencing ownership interests in all or any portion of the Loan and the Loan Docum
ents or a pool of assets that include the Loan and the Loan Documents (such sales, participations and/or securitizations, collectively, a “Securitization”). At the request of Lender, and to the extent not already required to be provided by or on behalf of Borrower under this Agreement, Borrower shall use reasonable efforts to provide information not in the possession of Lender or which may be reasonably required by Lender or take other actions reasonably required by Lender, in each case in order to satisfy the market standards to which Lender customarily adheres or which may be reasonably required by prospective investors and/or the Rating Agencies in connection with any such Securitization including, without limitation, to:
(a) provide additional and/or updated Provided Information, together with appropriate verification and/or consents related to the Provided Information through letters of auditors or opinions of counsel of independent attorneys reasonably acceptable to Lender, prospective investors and/or the Rating Agencies;
(b) assist in preparing descriptive materials for presentations to any or all of the Rating Agencies, and work with, and if requested, supervise, third-party service providers engaged by Borrower and approved by Lender, Guarantor and their respective affiliates to obtain, collect, and deliver information requested or required by Lender, prospective investors and/or the Rating Agencies;
(c) deliver (i) an Additional Insolvency Opinion and an opinion with respect to, due execution and enforceability with respect to the Property, Borrower, Guarantor and their respective Affiliates and the Loan Documents, and such other legal opinions as Lender may request including, without limitation, a so called “10b-5” opinion, and (ii) revised organizational documents for Borrower, which counsel opinions and organizational documents shall be reasonably satisfactory to Lender, prospective investors and/or the Rating Agencies;
(d) if required by any prospective investor and/or any Rating Agency, use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver such additional tenant estoppel letters, subordination agreements or other agreements from parties to agreements that affect the Property, which estoppel letters, subordination agreements or other agreements shall be reasonably satisfactory to Lender, prospective investors and/or the Rating Agencies;
(e) make such representations and warranties as of the closing date of the Securitization with respect to the Property, Borrower, Guarantor and the Loan Documents as may be reasonably requested by Lender, prospective investors and/or the Rating Agencies and consistent with the facts covered by such representations and warranties as they exist on the date thereof, including the representations and warranties made in the Loan Documents;

9.1.2 Loan Components.
(a) Borrower covenants and agrees that in connection with any Securitization of the Loan, upon Lender’s request, Borrower shall deliver one or more new component notes to replace the original note or modify the original note to reflect multiple components of the Loan (and such new notes or modified note shall initially have the same fully funded weighted average interest rate as the original note, but such new notes or modified note may subsequently change the weighted average spread and apply principal, interest rates and amortization of the Loan between the components in a manner specified by Lender in its sole discretion) and modify the Cash Management Agreement with respect to the newly created components such that the pric
ing and marketability of the Securities and the size of each class of Securities and the rating assigned to each such class by the Rating Agencies shall provide the most favorable rating levels and achieve the optimum rating levels for the Loan, provided that the same do not materially increase Borrower’s obligations and/or liabilities under the Loan Documents or materially decrease Borrower’s rights under the Loan Documents.
(b) Borrower covenants and agrees that Lender may hereafter convert any portion of the Loan to subordinate financing, including one or more tranches of mezzanine debt, preferred equity, subordinate debt or participation in such loan, subordinate to such loan (collectively, “Subordinate Financing”), provided, however, such Subordinate Financing and the Loan following the creation of the Subordinate Financing shall, in the aggregate, initially have the same fully funded weighted average interest rate as the fully funded interest rate of the Loan prior to the creation of such Subordinate Financing, but such Subordinate Financing may subsequently change the weighted aver
age spread and Lender may apply principal, interest rates and amortization of the Loan and the Subordinate Financing in a manner specified by Lender in its sole discretion. If the Subordinate Financing takes the form of a mezzanine loan, a mezzanine borrower (the “Mezzanine Borrower”) may be created which will own one hundred percent (100%) of the equity interests in the Borrower. One hundred percent (100%) of the ownership and economic interests in the Mezzanine Borrower may, at Lender’s discretion, be required to be pledged as security for such tranches of Subordinate Financing, if any. A default with the related Loan shall be a default under the respective Subordinate Financing. Such Subordinate Financing shall be subject to an intercreditor agreement by and between the Lender and the subordinate lender(s).
9.1.3 Costs of Subordinate Financing. Borrower shall be responsible for all costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with any Subordinate Financing, (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) including without limitation (i) the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of any mezzanine loan documents (“Mezzanine Loan Documents”) and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby and all the costs of furnishing all opinion
s by counsel for Borrower and Mezzanine Borrower; (ii) Mezzanine Borrower’s and Lender’s ongoing performance under and compliance with the Mezzanine Loan Documents, including confirming compliance with environmental and insurance requirements; (iii) the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and administration of any consents, amendments, waivers or other modifications of or under any Mezzanine Loan Document and any other documents or matters requested by Lender; (iv) filing and recording of any Mezzanine Loan Documents; (v) title insurance (including any applicable mezzanine endorsements or UCC endorsements or policies), surveys, inspections and appraisals; (vi) the creation, perfection or protection of Lender’s Liens in the collateral securing the Mezzanine Loan Documents (including fees and expenses for title and lien searches, intangibles taxes, personal property taxes, recording taxes, due diligence expenses, travel expenses, accounting firm fees, costs of appraisals, environmen
tal reports and Construction Consultant, surveys and engineering reports); and (vii) fees charged by Rating Agencies in connection with the creation of the Subordinate Financing, or any modification of the Loan or the Subordinate Financing.
Section 9.2 Securitization Indemnification. (a) Borrower understands that certain of the Provided Information may be included in Disclosure Documents in connection with the Securitization and may also be included in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange
Act”), or provided or made available to investors or prospective investors in the Securities, the Rating Agencies, and service providers relating to the Securitization. In the event that the Disclosure Document is required to be revised prior to the sale of all Securities, Borrower will cooperate with the holder of the Note in updating the Disclosure Document by providing all current information necessary to keep the Disclosure Document accurate and complete in all material respects.
(b) The Indemnifying Persons agree to provide, in connection with the Securitization, an indemnification agreement (A) certifying that (i) the Indemnifying Persons have carefully examined the Disclosure Documents, including without limitation, the sections entitled “Risk Factors,” “Special Considerations,” “Description of the Mortgages,” “Description of the Mortgage Loans and Mortgaged Property,” “The Manager,” “The Borrower” and “Certain Legal Aspects of the Mortgage Loan,” and (ii) such sections and such other information in the Disclosure Documents (to the extent such information relates to or includes any Provided Information or any information re
garding the Properties, Borrower, Manager and/or the Loan) (collectively with the Provided Information, the “Covered Disclosure Information”) do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, (B) jointly and severally indemnifying Lender, BSCMI (whether or not it is the Lender), any Affiliate of BSCMI that has filed any registration statement relating to the Securitization or has acted as the sponsor or depositor in connection with the Securitization, any Affiliate of BSCMI that acts as an underwriter, placement agent or initial purchaser of Securities issued in the Securitization, any other co-underwriters, co-placement agents or co-initial purchasers of Securities issued in the Securitization, and each of their respective officers, directors, partners, employees, representatives
, agents and Affiliates and each Person or entity who Controls any such Person within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively, the “Indemnified Persons”), for any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs or expenses (including without limitation legal fees and expenses for enforcement of these obligations (collectively, the “Liabilities”) to which any such Indemnified Person may become subject insofar as the Liabilities arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Covered Disclosure Information or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state in the Covered Disclosure Information a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements in the Covered Disclosure Information, in light of
the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and (C) agreeing to reimburse each Indemnified Person for any legal or other expenses incurred by such Indemnified Person, as they are incurred, in connection with investigating or defending the Liabilities. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which Borrower may otherwise have. Moreover, the indemnification and reimbursement obligations provided for in clauses (B) and (C) above shall be effective, valid and binding obligations of the Indemnifying Persons whether or not an indemnification agreement described in clause (A) above is provided.
(c) In connection with Exchange Act Filings, the Indemnifying Persons jointly and severally agree to indemnify (i) the Indemnified Persons for Liabilities to which any such Indemnified Person may become subject insofar as the Liabilities arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact in the Covered Disclosure Information, or the omission or alleged omission to state in the Covered Disclosure Information a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements in the Covered Disclosure Information, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and (ii) reimburse each Indemnified Person for any legal or other expenses incu
rred by such Indemnified Persons, as they are incurred, in connection with defending or investigating the Liabilities.
(d) Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person of notice of any claim or the commencement of any action, the Indemnified Person shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any Indemnifying Person, notify such Indemnifying Person in writing of the claim or the commencement of that action; provided, however, that the failure to notify such Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have under the indemnification provisions of this Section 9.2 except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced by such failure and, provided further that the failure to notify such Indemnifying Person shall not reli
eve it from any liability which it may have to an Indemnified Person otherwise than under the provisions of this Section 9.2. If any such claim or action shall be brought against an Indemnified Person, and it shall notify any Indemnifying Person thereof, such Indemnifying Person shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it wishes, assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person. After notice from any Indemnifying Person to the Indemnified Person of its election to assume the defense of such claim or action, such Indemnifying Person shall not be liable to the Indemnified Person for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Person in connection with the defense thereof except as provided in the following sentence; provided, however, if the defendants in any such action include both an Indemnifying Person, on the one
hand, and one or more Indemnified Persons on the other hand, and an Indemnified Person shall have reasonably concluded that there are any legal defenses available to it and/or other Indemnified Persons that are different or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Person, the Indemnified Person or Persons 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 Person or Persons. The Indemnified Person shall instruct its counsel to maintain reasonably detailed billing records for fees and disbursements for which such Indemnified Person is seeking reimbursement hereunder and shall submit copies of such detailed billing records to substantiate that such counsel’s fees and disbursements are solely related to the defense of a claim for which the Indemnifying Person is required hereunder to indemnify such Indemnified Person. No Indemnifying Person shall be liable for
the expenses of more than one (1) such separate counsel unless such Indemnified Person shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those available to another Indemnified Person.
(e) Without the prior written consent of BSCMI (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), no Indemnifying Person 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 Person is an actual or potential party to such claim, action, suit or proceeding) unless the Indemnifying Person shall have given BSCMI reasonable prior written notice thereof and shall have obtained an unconditional release of each Indemnified Person hereunder from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceedings. As long as an Indemnifying Person has co
mplied with its obligations to defend and indemnify hereunder, such Indemnifying Person shall not be liable for any settlement made by any Indemnified Person without the consent of such Indemnifying Person (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
(f) The Indemnifying Persons agree that if any indemnification or reimbursement sought pursuant to this Section 9.2 is finally judicially determined to be unavailable for any reason or is insufficient to hold any Indemnified Person harmless (with respect only to the Liabilities that are the subject of this Section 9.2), then the Indemnifying Persons, on the one hand, and such Indemnified Person, on the other hand, shall contribute to the Liabilities for which such indemnification or reimbursement is held unavailable or is insufficient: (x) in such proportion
as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits to the Indemnifying Persons, on the one hand, and such Indemnified Person, on the other hand, from the transactions to which such indemnification or reimbursement relates; or (y) if the allocation provided by clause (x) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (x) but also the relative faults of the Indemnifying Persons, on the one hand, and all Indemnified Persons, on the other hand, as well as any other equitable considerations. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 9.2, (A) no party found liable for a fraudulent misrepresentation shall be entitled to contribution from any other party who is not also found liable for such fra
udulent misrepresentation, and (B) the Indemnifying Persons agree that in no event shall the amount to be contributed by the Indemnified Persons collectively pursuant to this paragraph exceed the amount of the fees actually received by the Indemnified Persons in connection with the closing of the Loan.
(g) The Indemnifying Persons agree that the indemnification, contribution and reimbursement obligations set forth in this Section 9.2 shall apply whether or not any Indemnified Person is a formal party to any lawsuits, claims or other proceedings. The Indemnifying Persons further agree that the Indemnified Persons are intended third party beneficiaries under this Section 9.2.
(h) The liabilities and obligations of the Indemnified Persons and the Indemnifying Persons under this Section 9.2 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the satisfaction and discharge of the Debt.
(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Borrower shall have no obligation to act as depositor with respect to the Loan or an issuer or registrant with respect to the Securities issued in any Securitization.
Section 9.3 Exculpation

ded without the prior written consent of Lender.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Note or any of the Loan Documents, (A) 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 Debt secured by the Mortgage or to require that all collateral shall continue to secure all of the Debt owing to Lender in accordance with the Loan Documents, and (B) the Debt shall be fully recourse to Borrower (i) in the event of: (a) Borrower filing a voluntary petition under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law; (b) the filing of an involuntary petition against Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law, in which Borrower collude

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.

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 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, Borrower agrees that neither Lender nor its agents shall be liable for any monetary damages, and Borrower’s sole remedies shall be limited to commenci

ior to a Default or Event of Default) or in connection with any refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided under this Agreement in the nature of a “work-out” or of any insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be liable for the payment of any such costs and expenses to the extent the same arise by reason of the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct of Lender. Any cost and expenses due and payable to Lender may be paid from any amounts in the Clearing Account or Cash Management Account, as applicable.
(a) Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Lender from and against any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for Lender in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding commenced or threatened, whether or not Lender shall be designated a party thereto), that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against Lender in any manner relating to or arising out of (i) any breach by Borrower of its obligations under, or any material misrepresentation by Borrower contained in, this Agreement o
r the other Loan Documents, or (ii) the use or intended use of the proceeds of the Loan (collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided, however, that Borrower shall not have any obligation to Lender hereunder to the extent that such Indemnified Liabilities arise from the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct of Lender. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, defend and hold harmless set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it violates any law or public policy, Borrower shall pay the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by Lender.
(b) Borrower covenants and agrees to pay for or, if Borrower fails to pay, to reimburse Lender for, any fees and expenses incurred by any Rating Agency in connection with any consent, approval, waiver or confirmation obtained from such Rating Agency pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document and Lender shall be entitled to require payment of such fees and expenses as a condition precedent to the obtaining of any such consent, approval, waiver or confirmation.
Section 10.14 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.
Section 10.15 Offsets, Counterclaims and Defenses.

sert any such unrelated offset, counterclaim or defense in any such action or proceeding is hereby expressly waived by Borrower.
Section 10.16 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) This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are solely for the benefit of Lender and Borrower and nothing contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents 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 herein or therein. All conditions to the obligations of Lender to make the Loan hereunder are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of Lender and no other Person shall have standing to require satisfaction of such conditions in accordance with their terms or be entitled to assume that Lender will refuse to make the Loan in the absence of strict compliance with any or all thereof a
nd no other Person shall under any circumstances be deemed to be a beneficiary of such conditions, any or all of which may be freely waived in whole or in part by Lender if, in Lender’s sole discretion, Lender deems it advisable or desirable to do so.
Section 10.17 Publicity. All news releases, publicity or advertising by Borrower or its Affiliates through any media intended to reach the general public which refers to the Loan Documents or the financing evidenced by the Loan Documents, to Lender, BSCMI, or any of their Affiliates shall be subject to the prior written approval of Lender.
Section 10.18 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 partners and others with interests in Borrower, and of the Property, and agrees not to 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 the Property for the collection of the Debt without any prior or different resort for collection or of the right of Lender to the payment of the Debt out of the net proceeds of the Property in preference to every other claimant whatsoever.
Section 10.19 Waiver of Counterclaim. 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.
Section 10.20 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 th
e 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 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 wh
ich may be viewed as adverse to or competitive with the business of Borrower or its Affiliates.
Section 10.21 Brokers and Financial Advisors. Borrower hereby represents that it has dealt with no financial advisors, brokers, underwriters, placement agents, agents or finders, in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, costs and expenses of any kind (including Lender’s attorneys’ fees and expenses) in any way relating to
or arising from a claim by any Person that such Person acted on behalf of Borrower or Lender in connection with the transactions contemplated herein. The provisions of this Section 10.21 shall survive the expiration and termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Debt.
Section 10.22 Prior Agreements. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents contain the entire agreement of the parties hereto and thereto in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and all prior agreements among or between such parties, whether oral or written, including, without limitation, the Commitment Letter dated August 9, 2007 between Borrower and Lender are superseded by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
Section 10.23 Joint and Several Liability. If Borrower consists of more than one (1) Person the obligations and liabilities of each Person shall be joint and several.
Section 10.24 Certain Additional Rights of Lender (VCOC). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Lender shall have:
(a) the right to routinely consult with and advise Borrower’s management regarding the significant business activities and business and financial developments of Borrower; provided, however, that such consultations shall not include discussions of environmental compliance programs or disposal of hazardous substances. Consultation meetings should occur on a regular basis (no less frequently than quarterly) with Lender having the right to call special meetings at any reasonable times and upon reasonable advance notice;
(b) the right, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, to examine the books and records of Borrower at any reasonable times upon reasonable notice;
(c) the right, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 5.1.11 hereof, to receive monthly, quarterly and year end financial reports, including balance sheets, statements of income, shareholder’s equity and cash flow, a management report and schedules of outstanding indebtedness; and
(d) the right, without restricting any other rights of Lender under this Agreement (including any similar right), to approve any acquisition by Borrower of any other significant property (other than personal property required for the day to day operation of the Property and/or construction of the Project Improvements).
The rights described above in this Section 10.24 may be exercised by any entity which owns and controls, directly or indirectly, substantially all of the interests in Lender.
Section 10.25 MERS. Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“MERS”), serves as mortgagee of record and secured party solely as nominee, in an administrative capacity, for Lender and only holds legal title to the interests granted, assigned, and transferred in the Mortgage and the Assignments of Leases. MERS shall at all times comply with the instructions of Lender. If necessary to comply with law or custom, MERS (for the benefit of Lender) may be directed by Lender to exer
cise any or all of those interests, including without limitation, the right to foreclose and sell the Property, and take any action required of Lender, including without limitation, a release, discharge or reconveyance of the Mortgage. Subject to the foregoing, all references in the Loan Documents to “Mortgagee” shall include Lender and its successors and assigns. The relationship of Mortgagor and Lender under the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents is, and shall at all times remain, solely that of borrower and lender (the role of MERS thereunder being solely that of nominee as set forth above and not that of a lender); and Mortgagee neither undertakes nor assumes any responsibility or duty to Borrower or to any other Person with respect to the Property.

ARTICLE II.
GENERAL TERMS
Section 2.1 Loan Commitment; Disbursement to Borrower.
2.1.1 Agreement to Lend and Borrow. Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, Lender hereby agrees to make and Borrower hereby agrees to accept Advances in respect of the Project Loan as more particularly set forth in Section 2.10.
2.1.2 No Reborrowings. Any amount borrowed and repaid hereunder in respect of the Building Loan may not be reborrowed.
2.1.3 The Note, Mortgage and Loan Documents. The Project Loan shall be evidenced by the Project Loan Note and secured by the Project Loan Mortgage, the Project Loan Assignment of Leases and the other Project Loan Documents.
2.1.4 Use of Proceeds. Borrower hereby agrees that Borrower shall use the proceeds of the Project Loan to pay or reimburse itself for Project-Loan Costs actually incurred in connection with the construction of the Project Improvements if and to the extent that such Project-Loan Costs are reflected in the Project Loan Budget, subject to reallocation pursuant to Sections 2.1.6 and 2.1.7 hereof, and <
font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-WEIGHT: bold; TEXT-DECORATION: underline">5.1.33 of the Building Loan Agreement (or other reallocations approved by Lender in its sole discretion).
2.1.5 Advances. The Project Loan Budget shall reflect, by category and line item, the purposes and amounts for which funds to be advanced by Lender under this Agreement are to be used. Lender shall not be required to Advance funds hereunder for any category or line item of Project Loan Costs in excess of the amount specified for such line item or category in the Project Loan Budget, subject to Sections 2.1.6 and 2.1.7 hereof and 5.1.33 of the Building Loan Agreement (or other reallocations approved by Lender in its sole discretion). No Advances shall be made to pay for Affiliate Fees.
2.1.6 Cost Overruns. If Borrower becomes aware of any change in actual or projected Project Loan Costs which will increase any one or more category or line item of costs reflected in the Project Loan Budget, Borrower shall immediately notify Lender in writing and promptly submit to Lender for its approval a revised Project Loan Budget. Any reallocation of any category or line items in the Project Loan Budget in connection with cost overruns shall be subject to Lender’s approval in Lender’s sole discretion except as set forth in Sections 2.1.7 hereof and 5.1.33 of the Building Loan Agreement, provided, however, under no circumstances shall Borrower be permitted, or Lender obligated to approve, the reallocation of line items from the Building Loan Budget to the Project Loan Budget. Lender shall have no obligation to make any further Advances unless and until the revised Project Loan Budget so submitted by Borrower is approved by Lender and Borrower has satisfied its obligations with respect to any resulting Shortfall under Section 2.1.10. Lender reserves the right to approve or disapprove any revised Project Loan Budget in its sole and absolute discretion (except with respect to reallocations in accordance with
Sections 2.1.7 and 5.1.33).
2.1.7 Contingency Reserve.
(a) Following the satisfaction of the Initial Advance Conditions, and subject to the prior approval of Lender in its sole discretion, Borrower may revise the Project Loan Budget to move amounts available under any Line Item that are designated to “Contingency” to other Line Items in the Project Loan Budget. In no event may the Contingency Line Item of the Building Loan Budget be reallocated to any Line Item in the Project Loan Budget. Provided no Event of Default exists and with Lender’s consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld), after Completion of the Improvements, Borrower may draw amounts available under the Contingency Line Item of the Project Loan Budget to fund Shortfalls in monthly interest due, which amounts shall
be deposited in the Interest Reserve. Such drawing shall be in addition to any Interest Reserve Line Item advanced under the Project Loan pursuant to Section 2.14.10 hereof.
(b) Following the occurrence of Final Completion, Lender shall reasonably cooperate with Borrower to amend the Project Loan Budget, Building Loan Budget, Project Loan Documents and Building Loan Documents such that: (x) the Building Loan Budget is amended to remove the amounts then available under the Building Loan Budget either in the contingency Line Item or as cost savings from other Line Items (the “Contingency Excess”) and the Building Loan Amount is reduced by the Contingency Excess; and (y) the contingency line item of the Project Loan Budget and the Project Loan Amount are increased by the Contingency Excess. Borrower and Lender shall execute and deliver such documents, certificates and instrumen
ts as may be reasonably required to effect the above described re-allocation, including, without limitation, the filing of an amended Section 22 Affidavit and the modification of the Project Loan Documents and Building Loan Documents to reflect the respective changes in the Project Loan Amount and the Building Loan Amount and Borrower shall obtain such other evidence as Lender may reasonably request to confirm that none of the foregoing shall adversely impact the validity or priority of its security interests in the Property or otherwise adversely impact its rights and remedies under the Loan Documents including, without limitation, appropriate endorsements to the title insurance policy. Borrower shall pay any and all title insurance, recording and other charges and all reasonable costs and expenses (including legal fees) incurred by Lender in connection with the foregoing.
2.1.8 Intentionally Omitted.
2.1.9 Amount of Advances. In no event shall any Advance exceed the full amount of Project Loan Costs theretofore paid or to be paid with the proceeds of such Advance plus any Project Loan Costs incurred by Borrower through the date of the Draw Request for such Advance minus (i) the applicable Retainage for each Contract and Subcontract, and (ii) the aggregate amount of any Advances previously made by Lender. It is further understood that the Retainage described above is intended to provide a conting
ency fund protecting Lender against failure of Borrower or Guarantor to fulfill any obligations under the Loan Documents, and that Lender may charge amounts to pay for Project Loan Costs against such Retainage in the event Lender is required or elects to expend funds to cure any Default or Event of Default, in either instance, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. No Advance of the Loan by Lender shall be deemed to be an approval or acceptance by the Lender of any work performed thereon or the materials furnished with respect thereto.
2.1.10 Loan-In-Balance. As used herein, a “Shortfall” shall mean, as to any Line Item in the Development Budget as of any date, the amount determined by Lender, in Lender’s sole but reasonable judgment, by which (A) the cost of completing or satisfying such Line Item, exceeds (B) the remaining undisbursed portion of the Loan allocated to such Line Item in the Development Budget plus any sums deposited with Lender pursuant to this Section 2.1.10 to pay for such Line Item and not previously disbursed plus any Reserve Funds to the extent such Reserve Funds are available hereunder for the payment of such Line Item. From time to time and at any time during the Construction Period, Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, to notify Borrower that it has determined a Shortfall exists as to any one or more Line Items. If Lender at any time shall so notify Borrower, Borrower shall, at its option within five (5) days of Lender’s notification as aforesaid, either: (i) deposit with Lender an amount equal to such Shortfall, which Lender disburse to Borrower to the satisfaction of the costs of such Line Item prior to advancing any further Loan proceeds on account of such costs; (ii) post an irrevocable standby Letter of Credit in the amount of such Shortfall, in favor of Lender; (iii) to the extent permitted under Sections 2.1.7 hereof and 5.1.33 of the Building Loan Agreement, and following the satisfaction of the Initial Advance Conditions allocate the Contingency Reserve, with respect to the Line Item(s) in question, to the Shortfall, and provided, further that the amount of the remaining Contingency Reserve for such Line Item(s) (following the allocation to the Shortfall) is sufficient for such Line Item(s), as determined by Lender in its sole discretion; and (iv) to the extent permitted under Section 5.1.33 of the Building Loan Agreement, and then only following the satisfaction of the Initial Advance Conditions, r
eallocate cost savings from the Development Budget in respect of the Loan (or other reallocations which are approved by Lender, in its sole discretion) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, but only to the extent such cost savings can be allocated to the related Line Items. Borrower hereby agrees that Lender shall have a lien on and security interest in, for the benefit of Lender, any sums deposited pursuant to clause (i) above and that Borrower shall have no right to withdraw any such sums except for the payment of the aforesaid costs as approved by Lender. Lender shall have no obligation to make any further Advances of proceeds of the Loan as to any Line Item until the sums required to be deposited pursuant to clause (i) above as to such Line Item have been exhausted, or until Borrower has posted an irrevocable standby Letter of Credit pursuant to clause (iii) above, as the case may be, and, in any such case, the Loan is back “in balance”. Any suc
h sums not used as provided in said clause (i) shall be released to Borrower when and to the extent that Lender reasonably determines that the amount thereof is more than the excess, if any, of the remaining Project-Related Costs over the undisbursed balance of the Loan, provided, however, that should an Event of Default occur, Lender, in its sole discretion, may apply such amounts either to the remaining Project-Related Costs or to the immediate reduction of outstanding principal and/or interest under the Note.
2.1.11 Quality of Work. No Advance or any portion thereof shall be made with respect to defective work or to any contractor that has performed work that is defective and that has not been cured, as confirmed by the report of the Construction Consultant, but Lender may disburse all or part of any Advance before the sum shall become due if Lender believes it advisable to do so, and all such Advances or parts thereof shall be deemed to have been made pursuant to this Agreement.
2.1.12 Required Equity Funds. All Required Equity Funds shall be contributed (i.e., expended by Borrower and invested by Borrower in the Property, for Project Related Costs set forth on the approved Development Budget) before the Closing Date.
2.1.13 Trust Fund. Pursuant to Section 13 of the New York Lien Law, Borrower shall receive the Advances hereunder and shall hold the right to receive the Advances as a trust fund to be applied first for the purpose of paying the Costs of the Improvements and shall apply the Advances first to the payment of the Cost of the Improvements on the Property before using any part of the total of the same for any other purpose.
2.1.14 Final Project Report and Development Budget. The provisions of Section 2.1.14 of the Building Loan Agreement are incorporated herein by reference as if fully set forth herein.
2.1.15 Miscellaneous.
(a) The making of an Advance by Lender shall not constitute Lender’s approval or acceptance of the construction theretofore completed. Lender’s inspection and approval of the Plans and Specifications, the construction of the Project Improvements, or the workmanship and materials used therein, shall impose no liability of any kind on Lender, the sole obligation of Lender as the result of such inspection and approval being to make the Advances if and to the extent, required by this Agreement.
(b) ALL POTENTIAL LIENORS ARE HEREBY CAUTIONED TO EXERCISE SOUND BUSINESS JUDGMENT IN THE EXTENSION OF CREDIT TO BORROWER. NO POTENTIAL LIENOR SHOULD EXPECT LENDER TO MAKE ADVANCES OF THE LOAN IN AMOUNTS AND AT TIMES SUCH THAT IT WILL NOT BE NECESSARY FOR EACH SUCH POTENTIAL LIENOR TO EXERCISE SOUND BUSINESS JUDGMENT IN THE EXTENSION OF CREDIT TO BORROWER. MOREOVER, ALL POTENTIAL LIENORS ARE REMINDED THAT SUBDIVISION (3) OF SECTION 13 OF THE NEW YORK LIEN LAW PROVIDES THAT “NOTHING IN THIS SUBDIVISION SHALL BE CONSIDERED AS IMPOSING UPON THE LENDER ANY OBLIGATION TO SEE THE PROPER APPLICATION OF SUCH ADVANCES BY THE OWNER,” AND LENDER DOES NOT IMPOSE SUCH AN OBLIGATION ON ITSELF.
Section 2.2 Interest Rate.
2.2.1 Interest Rate. Interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan shall accrue from (and include) the Closing Date to but excluding the Maturity Date at the Interest Rate calculated as set forth in Section 2.2.2 below.
2.2.2 Interest Calculation. Interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan shall be calculated by multiplying (a) the actual number of days elapsed in the period for which the calculation is being made by (b) a daily rate based on the Interest Rate and a three hundred sixty (360) day year by (c) the outstanding principal balance.
2.2.3 Default Rate . In the event that, and for so long as, any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the outstanding principal balance of the Loan and, to the extent permitted by law, all accrued and unpaid interest in respect of the Loan and any other amounts due pursuant to the Loan Documents, shall accrue interest at the Default Rate, calculated from the date such payment was due without regard to any grace or cure periods contained herein.
2.2.4 Usury Savings. This Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents are subject to the express condition that at no time shall Borrower be obligated or required to pay interest on the principal balance of the Loan at a rate which could subject Lender to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate. If, by the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the principal balance due hereunder at a rate in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate, the Interest Rate or th
e Default Rate, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to the Maximum Legal Rate and all previous payments in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of principal and not on account of the interest due hereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the sums due under the Loan, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of the Loan until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Loan does not exceed the Maximum Legal Rate of interest from time to time in effect and applicable to the Loan for so long as the Loan is outstanding.
Section 2.3 Loan Payment.
2.3.1 Monthly Debt Service Payments. Borrower shall pay to Lender (a) on the Closing Date, an amount equal to interest only on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan from and including the Closing Date up to and including December 31, 2007, which interest shall be calculated in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.2 hereof, and (b) on each Payment Date commencing on the Payment Date occurring in February, 2008, and therea
fter up to and including the Maturity Date, Borrower shall make a payment to Lender equal to the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount, which payments shall be applied first to interest due for the related Interest Period at the Interest Rate, for such related Interest Period and then to the principal amount of the Loan due in accordance with this Agreement, and lastly, to any other amounts due and unpaid pursuant to the Loan Documents hereto. Borrower and Lender acknowledge and agree that, on the 15th calendar day of the month preceding each Payment Date during the Construction Term: (a) if and to the extent undrawn funds remain available for Advance under the Project Loan from the Interest Reserve Line Item of the Project Loan Budget, and provided that that no Event of Default or monetary Default then exists under any of the Loan Documents or would occur as a result of such Advance, the Monthly Debt Service Amount then
due and owing shall be advanced by Lender by a Advance under Interest Reserve Line Item of the Project Loan Budget; and (b) if no amount remains available under the Interest Reserve Line Item but and to the extent Interest Reserve Funds are on deposit in the Interest Reserve Account, and no Event of Default or monetary Default then exists under any of the Loan Documents, the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount then due and payable shall be paid by application of funds from the Interest Reserve Account. Borrower and Lender acknowledge and agree that Lender may automatically make an Advance or apply Interest Reserve Funds on deposit in the Interest Reserve Account on each Payment Date occurring during the Construction Term, in either instance, in accordance with this Section 2.3.1, without the need for Borrower to submit a Draw Request or otherwise request such an Advance or application.

2.3.4 Late Payment Charge . If any principal, interest or any other sums due under the Loan Documents (including the amounts due on the Maturity Date) are not paid by Borrower on or prior to the date on which it is due, Borrower shall pay to Lender upon demand an amount equal to the lesser of five percent (5%) of such unpaid sum or the Maximum Legal Rate in order to defray the expense incurred by Lender in handling and processing such delinquent payment and to com
pensate Lender for the loss of the use of such delinquent payment. Any such amount shall be secured by the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents to the extent permitted by applicable law.
2.3.5 Method and Place of Payment . Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all payments and prepayments under this Agreement and the Note shall be made to Lender not later than 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on the date when due and shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately available funds at Lender’s office or as otherwise directed by Lender, and any funds received by Lender after such time shall, for all purpo

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, commencing after the Payment Date three (3) months prior to the Maturity Date (the "Open Period Date"), or on any Payment Date thereafter (or on any date thereafter, provided that interest is paid through the next Payment Date), Borrower may, at its option, prepay the Debt in whole, but not in part, without payment of the Yield Maintenance Premium.
2.4.2 Mandatory Prepayments. On the next occurring Payment Date following the date on which Lender actually receives any Net Proceeds, if Lender is not obligated to make such Net Proceeds available to Borrower for the Restoration of the Property or otherwise remit such Net Proceeds to Borrower pursuant to Section 6.4 of the Building Loan Agreement, Borrower shall prepay or authorize Lender to apply Net Proceeds as a prepayment of all or a portion of the outstanding principal balance of the Loan together with accrued interest th
rough the end of the related Interest Period and any other sums due hereunder in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of such Net Proceeds; provided, however, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender may apply such Net Proceeds to the Debt (until paid in full) in any order or priority in its sole discretion. Other than following an Event of Default, no Yield Maintenance Premium shall be due in connection with any prepayment made pursuant to this Section 2.4.2.
2.4.3 Prepayments After Default. If following an Event of Default, payment of all or any part of the Debt is tendered by Borrower or otherwise recovered by Lender, such tender or recovery shall be (a) made on the next occurring Payment Date together with the Monthly Debt Service Payment and (b) deemed a voluntary prepayment by Borrower in violation of the prohibition against prepayment set forth in Section 2.4.1 hereof and Borrower shall pay, in addition to the Debt, an amount equal to
the Yield Maintenance Default Premium.
2.4.4 Prepayment Prior to Defeasance Expiration Date.

Lender shall notify Borrower of the amou
nt and the basis of determination of the required prepayment consideration. If any notice of prepayment is given, the Debt shall be due and payable on the Prepayment Date. Lender shall not be obligated to accept any prepayment of the Debt unless it is accompanied by the prepayment consideration due in connection therewith. If for any reason Borrower prepays the Loan on a date other than a Payment Date, Borrower shall pay Lender, in addition to the Debt, all interest which would have accrued on the amount of the Loan through and including the Payment Date next occurring following the date of such prepayment.
2.4.5 Application of Prepayments to Components. Any prepayment of the principal of the Loan, in whole or in part, voluntary or involuntary, shall be applied (a) first, to the reduction of the outstanding principal balance of the Project Loan until reduced to zero, and (b) second, to the reduction of the outstanding principal balance of the Building Loan until reduced to zero. Subsequent to any Event of Default, any payment of principal from whatever source may be applied by Lender between the various components of the Loan in Lender’s sole discretion.
Section 2.5 Defeasance.

Section 2.6 Release of Property. Except as set forth in this Section 2.6, no repayment, prepayment or defeasance of all or any portion of the Loan shall cause, give rise to a right to require, or otherwise result in, the release of the Lien of the Mortgage on the Property.

f proceeds of the Loan shall at any time be conditioned, directly or indirectly, upon the making of any such “improvement”.

(b) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in clauses (vi), (vii) or (viii) above) and at any time thereafter, 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, Lender may take such action, without notice or demand, that Lender deems advisable to protect and enforce its rights against Borrower and the Property, including, without limitation, declaring the Debt 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 any or all of the Property, including, without limitation, all rights or remedies available at law or in equity; and upon a
ny Event of Default described in clauses (vi), (vii) or (viii) above, the Debt and Other Obligations of Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall immediately and automatically become due and payable, 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.
Section 8.2 Remedies.
(a) Upon the occurrence 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 Debt 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 all or any part of the Property. Any such actions taken by Lender shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singularly, successiv
ely, 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, equity or contract or as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower agrees that if an Event of Default is continuing (i) Lender is not subject to any “one action” or “election of remedies” law or rule, and (ii) all liens and other rights, remedies or privileges provided to Lender shall remain in full force and effect until Lender has exhausted all of its remedies against the Property and the Mortgage has been foreclosed, sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Debt or the Debt has been paid in full.
(b) With respect to Borrower and the Property, nothing contained herein or in any other Loan Document shall be construed as requiring Lender to resort to the Property for the satisfaction of any of the Debt in any preference or priority, and Lender may seek satisfaction out of the Property, or any part thereof, in its absolute discretion in respect of the Debt. In addition, 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, without limitation, 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 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 of the Loan, 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, the Property shall remain subject to the Mortgage to secure payment of sums secured by the Mortgage and not previously recovered.
(c) 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 (the “Severed Loan 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) Business Days after notice has been given to Borrower by Lender of Lender’s intent to exercise its rights under such power. Borrower shall be obligated to pay any costs or expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, execution, recording or filing of the Severed Loan Documents and the Severed Loan Documents shall not contain any representations, warranties or covenants not contained in the Loan Documents and any such representations and warranties contained in the Severed Loan Documents will be given by Borrower only as of the Closing Date.
Section 8.3 Remedies Cumulative; Waivers. 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 singularly, concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in
Lender’s sole discretion. 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.

LENDER IS HEREBY AUTHORIZED TO FILE A COPY OF THIS PARAGRAPH IN ANY PROCEEDING AS CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OF THIS WAIVER BY BORROWER.
Section 10.8 Headings. The Article and/or Section headings and the Table of Contents in this Agreement are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purpose.
Section 10.9 Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.
Section 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 the right to receive any n
otice 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, Borrower agrees that neither Lender nor its agents shall be liable for any monetary damages, and Borrower’s sole remedies shall be limited to commencing an
action seeking injunctive relief or declaratory judgment. The parties hereto agree that any action or proceeding to determine whether Lender has acted reasonably shall be determined by an action seeking declaratory judgment.
Section 10.13 Expenses; Indemnity. (1) Borrower covenants and agrees to pay or, if Borrower fails to pay, to reimburse, Lender upon receipt of written notice from Lender for all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by Lender in connection with (i) the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby
and all the costs of furnishing all opinions by counsel for Borrower (including without limitation any opinions requested by Lender as to any legal matters arising under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents with respect to the Property); (ii) Borrower’s ongoing performance of and compliance with Borrower’s respective agreements and covenants contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on its part to be performed or complied with after the Closing Date, including, without limitation, confirming compliance with environmental and insurance requirements; (iii) Lender’s ongoing performance and compliance with all agreements and conditions contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on its part to be performed or complied with after the Closing Date; (iv) the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and administration of any consents, amendments, waivers or other modifications to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other document
s or matters requested by Lender; (v) securing Borrower’s compliance with any requests made pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement; (vi) the filing and recording fees and expenses, title insurance and reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for providing to Lender all required legal opinions, and other similar expenses incurred in creating and perfecting the Lien in favor of Lender pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; (vii) enforcing or preserving any rights, in response to third party claims or the prosecuting or defending of any action or proceeding or other litigation, in each case against, under or affecting Borrower, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Property, or any other security given for the Loan; and (viii) enforcing any obligations of or collecting any payments due from Borrower under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or with respect to the Property (including any fees incurred by Servicer in connection with the transfer of the
Loan to a special servicer prior to a Default or Event of Default) or in connection with any refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided under this Agreement in the nature of a “work-out” or of any insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be liable for the payment of any such costs and expenses to the extent the same arise by reason of the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct of Lender. Any cost and expenses due and payable to Lender may be paid from any amounts in the Clearing Account or Cash Management Account, as applicable.
(a) Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Lender from and against any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for Lender in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding commenced or threatened, whether or not Lender shall be designated a party thereto), that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against Lender in any manner relating to or arising out of (i) any breach by Borrower of its obligations under, or any material misrepresentation by Borrower contained in, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or (i
i) the use or intended use of the proceeds of the Loan (collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided, however, that Borrower shall not have any obligation to Lender hereunder to the extent that such Indemnified Liabilities arise from the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct of Lender. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, defend and hold harmless set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it violates any law or public policy, Borrower shall pay the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by Lender.
(b) Borrower covenants and agrees to pay for or, if Borrower fails to pay, to reimburse Lender for, any fees and expenses incurred by any Rating Agency in connection with any consent, approval, waiver or confirmation obtained from such Rating Agency pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document and Lender shall be entitled to require payment of such fees and expenses as a condition precedent to the obtaining of any such consent, approval, waiver or confirmation.
Section 10.14 Schedules and Exhibits Incorporated. The Schedules and Exhibits annexed to the Building Loan Agreement are hereby incorporated herein as a part of this Agreement with the same effect as if set forth in the body hereof.
Section 10.15 Offsets, Counterclaims and Defenses. Any assignee of Lender’s interest in and to this Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents shall take the same free and clear of all offsets, counterclaims or defenses which are unrelated to such documents which Borrower may otherwise have against any assignor of such documents, and no such unrelated counterclaim or defense shall be interposed or asserted by Borrower in any action or proceeding brought by any such assignee upon such documents and any such right to interpose or assert
any such unrelated offset, counterclaim or defense in any such action or proceeding is hereby expressly waived by Borrower.
Section 10.16 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) This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are solely for the benefit of Lender and Borrower and nothing contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents 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 herein or therein. All conditions to the obligations of Lender to make the Loan hereunder are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of Lender and no other Person shall have standing to require satisfaction of such conditions in accordance with their terms or be entitled to assume that Lender will refuse to make the Loan in the absence of strict compliance with any or all thereof and no other Person shall under any cir
cumstances be deemed to be a beneficiary of such conditions, any or all of which may be freely waived in whole or in part by Lender if, in Lender’s sole discretion, Lender deems it advisable or desirable to do so.
Section 10.17 Publicity. All news releases, publicity or advertising by Borrower or its Affiliates through any media intended to reach the general public which refers to the Loan Documents or the financing evidenced by the Loan Documents, to Lender, BSCMI, or any of their Affiliates shall be subject to the prior written approval of Lender.
Section 10.18 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 partners and others with interests in Borrower, and of the Property, and agrees not to 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 the Property for the collection of the Debt without any prior or different resort for collection or of the right of Lender to the payment of the Debt out of the net proceeds of the Property in preference to every other claimant whatsoever.
Section 10.19 Waiver of Counterclaim. 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.
Section 10.20 Identical Obligations; Conflict; Construction of Documents; Reliance. To the extent that Borrower has identical obligations under this Agreement and under any of the other Loan Agreements, performance by Borrower of such obligations under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Agreements shall be deemed performance by Borrower, as applicable, under all such Loan Agreements and hereunder of such obligations. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreem
ent 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 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 10.21 Brokers and Financial Advisors. Borrower hereby represents that it has dealt with no financial advisors, brokers, underwriters, placement agents, agents or finders in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, costs and expenses of any kind (including Lender’s attorneys’ fees and expenses) in any way relating to or arising
from a claim by any Person that such Person acted on behalf of Borrower or Lender in connection with the transactions contemplated herein. The provisions of this Section 10.21 shall survive the expiration and termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Debt.
Section 10.22 Prior Agreements. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents contain the entire agreement of the parties hereto and thereto in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and all prior agreements among or between such parties, whether oral or written, including, without limitation, the Commitment Letter dated June 28, 2007 between Borrower and Lender are superseded by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
Section 10.23 Joint and Several Liability. If Borrower consists of more than one (1) Person the obligations and liabilities of each Person shall be joint and several.
Section 10.24 Certain Additional Rights of Lender (VCOC). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Lender shall have:
(a) the right to routinely consult with and advise Borrower’s management regarding the significant business activities and business and financial developments of Borrower; provided, however, that such consultations shall not include discussions of environmental compliance programs or disposal of hazardous substances. Consultation meetings should occur on a regular basis (no less frequently than quarterly) with Lender having the right to call special meetings at any reasonable times and upon reasonable advance notice;
(b) the right, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, to examine the books and records of Borrower at any reasonable times upon reasonable notice;
(c) the right, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 5.1.11 hereof, to receive monthly, quarterly and year end financial reports, including balance sheets, statements of income, shareholder’s equity and cash flow, a management report and schedules of outstanding indebtedness; and
(d) the right, without restricting any other rights of Lender under this Agreement (including any similar right), to approve any acquisition by Borrower of any other significant property (other than personal property required for the day to day operation of the Property and/or construction of the Project Improvements).
The rights described above in this Section 10.24 may be exercised by any entity which owns and controls, directly or indirectly, substantially all of the interests in Lender.
Section 10.25 MERS. Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“MERS”), serves as mortgagee of record and secured party solely as nominee, in an administrative capacity, for Lender and only holds legal title to the interests granted, assigned, and transferred in the Mortgage and the Assignments of Leases. MERS shall at all times comply with the instructi
ons of Lender. If necessary to comply with law or custom, MERS (for the benefit of Lender) may be directed by Lender to exercise any or all of those interests, including without limitation, the right to foreclose and sell the Property, and take any action required of Lender, including without limitation, a release, discharge or reconveyance of the Mortgage. Subject to the foregoing, all references in the Loan Documents to “Mortgagee” shall include Lender and its successors and assigns. The relationship of Mortgagor and Lender under the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents is, and shall at all times remain, solely that of borrower and lender (the role of MERS thereunder being solely that of nominee as set forth above and not that of a lender); and Mortgagee neither undertakes nor assumes any responsibility or duty to Borrower or to any other Person with respect to the Property.

As used herein, a “Shortfall” shall mean, as to any Line Item in the Development Budget as of any date, the amount determined by Lender, in Lender’s sole but reasonable judgment, by which (A) the cost of completing or satisfying such Line Item, exceeds (B) the remaining undisbursed portion of the Loan allocated to such Line Item in the Development Budget plus any sums deposited with Lender pursuant to this Section 2.1.10 to pay for such Line Item and not previously disbursed plus any Reserve Funds to the extent such Reserve Funds are available hereunder for the payment of such Line Item. From time to time and at any time during the Construction Period, Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, to notify Borrower that it has determined a Shortfall exists as to any one or more Line Items. If Lender at any time shall so notify Borrower, Borrower shall, at its option within five (5) days of Lender’s notification as aforesaid, either: (i) deposit with Lender an amount equal to such Shortfall, which Lender disburse to Borrower to the satisfaction of the costs of such Line Item prior to advancing any further Loan proceeds on account of such costs; (ii) post an irrevocable standby Letter of Credit in the amount of such Shortfall, in favor of Lender; (iii) to the extent permitted under Sections 2.1.7 and 5.1.33, and following the satisfaction of the Initial Advance Conditions allocate the Contingency Reserve, with respect to the Line Item(s) in question, to the Shortfall, and provided, further that the amount of the remaining Contingency Reserve for such Line Item(s) (following the allocation to the Shortfall) is sufficient for such Line Item(s), as determined by Lender in its sole discretion; and (iv) to the extent permitted under Section 5.1.33, and then only following the satisfaction of the Initial Advance Conditions, reallocate cost savings from the Development Budget in respect of the Loan (or other reallocations which are approved by Lender, in its sole discretion) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, but only to the extent such cost savings can be allocated to the related Line Items.
;Borrower hereby agrees that Lender shall have a lien on and security interest in, for the benefit of Lender, any sums deposited pursuant to clause (i) above and that Borrower shall have no right to withdraw any such sums except for the payment of the aforesaid costs as approved by Lender. Lender shall have no obligation to make any further Advances of proceeds of the Loan as to any Line Item until the sums required to be deposited pursuant to clause (i) above as to such Line Item have been exhausted, or until Borrower has posted an irrevocable standby Letter of Credit pursuant to clause (iii) above, as the case may be, and, in any such case, the Loan is back “in balance”. Any such sums not used as provided in said clause
(i) shall be released to Borrower when and to the extent that Lender reasonably determines that the amount thereof is more than the excess, if any, of the remaining Project-Related Costs over the undisbursed balance of the Loan, provided, however, that should an Event of Default occur, Lender, in its sole discretion, may apply such amounts either to the remaining Project-Related Costs or to the immediate reduction of outstanding principal and/or interest under the Note.
2.1.11 Quality of Work
(k) . No Advance or any portion thereof shall be made with respect to defective work or to any contractor that has performed work that is defective and that has not been cured, as confirmed by the report of the Construction Consultant, but Lender may disburse all or part of any Advance before the sum shall become due if Lender believes it advisable to do so, and all such Advances or parts thereof shall be deemed to have been made pursuant to this Agreement.
2.1.12 Required Equity Funds. All Required Equity Funds shall be contributed (i.e., expended by Borrower and invested by Borrower in the Property, for Project–Related Costs set forth on the approved Development Budget) before the Closing Date.
2.1.13 Trust Fund. Pursuant to Section 13 of the New York Lien Law, Borrower shall receive the Advances hereunder and shall hold the right to receive the Advances as a trust fund to be applied first for the purpose of paying the Costs of the Improvements and shall apply the Advances first to the payment of the Cost of the Improvements on the Property before using any part of the total of the same for any other purpose.
2.1.14 Final Project Report and Development Budget. Attached hereto as Schedule II is Borrower’s detailed and definitive budget of all Project-Related Costs to be incurred by Borrower during the Construction Term and that will be disbursed out of Loan proceeds subject to availability and satisfaction of all applicable conditions to Advances hereunder and under the Project Loan Agreement, being so indicated, delineated by each category of Project-Related Costs (each a “Line Item” or “Budget Line”) and further broken down to segregate Building Loan Costs and Project Loan Costs, which budget has been approved by Lender and Construction Consultant (the “Development Budget”). The portion of the Development Budget that includes only Building Loan Costs is referred to herein as the “Building Loan Budget” and the portion of the Development Budget that includes only Project Loan Costs is referred to herein as the “Project Loan Budget.”
2.1.15 Miscellaneous.
(a) The making of an Advance by Lender shall not constitute Lender’s approval or acceptance of the construction theretofore completed. Lender’s inspection and approval of the Plans and Specifications, the construction of the Project Improvements, or the workmanship and materials used therein, shall impose no liability of any kind on Lender, the sole obligation of Lender as the result of such inspection and approval being to make the Advances if and to the extent, required by this Agreement.
(b) ALL POTENTIAL LIENORS ARE HEREBY CAUTIONED TO EXERCISE SOUND BUSINESS JUDGMENT IN THE EXTENSION OF CREDIT TO BORROWER. NO POTENTIAL LIENOR SHOULD EXPECT LENDER TO MAKE ADVANCES OF THE LOAN IN AMOUNTS AND AT TIMES SUCH THAT IT WILL NOT BE NECESSARY FOR EACH SUCH POTENTIAL LIENOR TO EXERCISE SOUND BUSINESS JUDGMENT IN THE EXTENSION OF CREDIT TO BORROWER. MOREOVER, ALL POTENTIAL LIENORS ARE REMINDED THAT SUBDIVISION (3) OF SECTION 13 OF THE NEW YORK LIEN LAW PROVIDES THAT “NOTHING IN THIS SUBDIVISION SHALL BE CONSIDERED AS IMPOSING UPON THE LENDER ANY OBLIGATION TO SEE THE PROPER APPLICATION OF SUCH ADVANCES BY THE OWNER,” AND LENDER DOES NOT IMPOSE SUCH AN OBLIGATION ON ITSELF.
Section 2.2 Interest Rate.
2.2.1 Interest Rate. Interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan shall accrue from (and include) the Closing Date to but excluding the Maturity Date at the Interest Rate calculated as set forth in Section 2.2.2 below.
2.2.2 Interest Calculation. Interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan shall be calculated by multiplying (a) the actual number of days elapsed in the period for which the calculation is being made by (b) a daily rate based on the Interest Rate and a three hundred sixty (360) day year by (c) the outstanding principal balance.
2.2.3 Default Rate. In the event that, and for so long as, any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the outstanding principal balance of the Loan and, to the extent permitted by law, all accrued and unpaid interest in respect of the Loan and any other amounts due pursuant to the Loan Documents, shall accrue interest at the Default Rate, calculated from the date such payment was due without regard to any grace or cure periods contained herein.
2.2.4 Usury Savings. This Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents are subject to the express condition that at no time shall Borrower be obligated or required to pay interest on the principal balance of the Loan at a rate which could subject Lender to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate. If, by the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the principal balance due hereunder at a rate in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate, the Interest Rate or th
e Default Rate, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to the Maximum Legal Rate and all previous payments in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of principal and not on account of the interest due hereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the sums due under the Loan, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of the Loan until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Loan does not exceed the Maximum Legal Rate of interest from time to time in effect and applicable to the Loan for so long as the Loan is outstanding.
Section 2.3 Loan Payment.
2.3.1 Monthly Debt Service Payments. Borrower shall pay to Lender (a) on the Closing Date, an amount equal to interest only on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan from and including the Closing Date up to and including December 31, 2007, which interest shall be calculated in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.2 hereof, and (b) on each Payment Date commencing on the Payment Date occurring in February, 2008 and thereaf
ter up to and including the Maturity Date, Borrower shall make a payment to Lender equal to the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount, which payments shall be applied first to interest due for the related Interest Period at the Interest Rate, for such related Interest Period and then to the principal amount of the Loan due in accordance with this Agreement, and lastly, to any other amounts due and unpaid pursuant to the Loan Documents hereto. Borrower and Lender acknowledge and agree that, on the 15th calendar day of the month preceding each Payment Date during the Construction Term: (a) if and to the extent undrawn funds remain available for Advance under the Project Loan from the Interest Reserve Line Item of the Project Loan Budget, and provided that that no Event of Default or monetary Default then exists under any of the Loan Documents or would occur as a result of such Project Loan Advance, the Monthly Debt Service
Amount then due and owing shall be advanced by Lender by a Project Loan Advance under Interest Reserve Line Item of the Project Loan Budget; and (b) if no amount remains available under the Interest Reserve Line Item but and to the extent Interest Reserve Funds are on deposit in the Interest Reserve Account, and no Event of Default or monetary Default then exists under any of the Loan Documents, the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount then due and payable shall be paid by application of funds from the Interest Reserve Account. Borrower and Lender acknowledge and agree that Lender may automatically make a Project Loan Advance or apply Interest Reserve Funds on deposit in the Interest Reserve Account on each Payment Date occurring during the Construction Term, in either instance, in accordance with this Section 2.3.1, without the need for Borrower to submit a Draw Request or otherwise request such an Advan
ce or application.
2.3.2 Payments Generally. The first Interest Period hereunder shall commence on and include the Closing Date and shall end on and include December 31, 2007. Thereafter each Interest Period shall commence on the first (1st) day of each calendar month during the term of this Agreement and shall end on and include the final calendar date of such calendar month. For purposes of making payments hereunder, but not for purposes of calc
ulating Interest Periods, if the day on which such payment is due is not a Business Day, then amounts due on such date shall be due on the immediately preceding Business Day and with respect to payments of principal due on the Maturity Date, interest shall be payable at the Interest Rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, through and including the day immediately preceding such Maturity Date. All amounts due under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be payable without setoff, counterclaim, defense or any other deduction whatsoever.
2.3.3 Payment on Maturity Date. Borrower shall pay to Lender on the Maturity Date the outstanding principal balance of the Loan, all accrued and unpaid interest and all other amounts due hereunder and under the Note, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents.
2.3.4 Late Payment Charge. If any principal, interest or any other sums due under the Loan Documents (including the amounts due on the Maturity Date) are not paid by Borrower on or prior to the date on which it is due, Borrower shall pay to Lender upon demand an amount equal to the lesser of five percent (5%) of such unpaid sum or the Maximum Legal Rate in order to defray 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.
; Any such amount shall be secured by the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents to the extent permitted by applicable law.
2.3.5 Method and Place of Payment. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all payments and prepayments under this Agreement and the Note shall be made to Lender not later than 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on the date when due and shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately available funds at Lender’s office or as otherwise directed by Lender, and any funds received by Lender after such time shall, for all purposes hereof, be deemed to have been paid on the next succeeding Business

Section 2.4 Prepayments.
2.4.1 Voluntary Prepayments. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 2.4.1 and Section 2.4.2, Borrower shall not have the right to prepay the Loan in whole or in part prior to the Maturity Date. If for any reason Borrower prepays the Loan on a date other than a Payment Date, Borrower shall pay Lender, in addition to the Debt, all interest which would have accrued on the amount of the Loan through
and including the Payment Date next occurring following the date of such prepayment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, commencing after the Payment Date three (3) months prior to the Maturity Date (the "Open Period Date"), or on any Payment Date thereafter (or on any date thereafter, provided that interest is paid through the next Payment Date), Borrower may, at its option, prepay the Debt in whole, but not in part, without payment of the Yield Maintenance Premium.
2.4.2 Mandatory Prepayments. On the next occurring Payment Date following the date on which Lender actually receives any Net Proceeds, if Lender is not obligated to make such Net Proceeds available to Borrower for the Restoration of the Property or otherwise remit such Net Proceeds to Borrower pursuant to Section 6.4 hereof, Borrower shall prepay or authorize Lender to apply Net Proceeds as a prepayment of all or a portion of the outstanding principal balance of the Loan together with accrued interes
t through the end of the related Interest Period and any other sums due hereunder in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of such Net Proceeds; provided, however, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender may apply such Net Proceeds to the Debt (until paid in full) in any order or priority in its sole discretion. Other than following an Event of Default, no Yield Maintenance Premium shall be due in connection with any prepayment made pursuant to this Section 2.4.2.
2.4.3 Prepayments After Default. If following an Event of Default, payment of all or any part of the Debt is tendered by Borrower or otherwise recovered by Lender, such tender or recovery shall be (a) made on the next occurring Payment Date together with the Monthly Debt Service Payment and (b) deemed a voluntary prepayment by Borrower in violation of the prohibition against prepayment set forth in Section 2.4.1 hereof and Borrower shall pay, in addition to the Debt, an amount equal to
the Yield Maintenance Default Premium.
2.4.4 Prepayment Prior to Defeasance Expiration Date. If the Permitted Release Date has occurred but the Defeasance Expiration Date has not occurred, the Debt may be prepaid in whole (but not in part) prior to the date permitted under Section 2.4.1 hereof upon not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice to Lender specifying the Payment Date on which prepayment is to be made (a “Prepayment Date”) provided no Event of Default exists and upon payment of an amount equal to the Yield Maintenance Premium. Lender shall notify
Borrower of the amount and the basis of determination of the required prepayment consideration. If any notice of prepayment is given, the Debt shall be due and payable on the Prepayment Date. Lender shall not be obligated to accept any prepayment of the Debt unless it is accompanied by the prepayment consideration due in connection therewith. If for any reason Borrower prepays the Loan on a date other than a Payment Date, Borrower shall pay Lender, in addition to the Debt, all interest which would have accrued on the amount of the Loan through and including the Payment Date next occurring following the date of such prepayment.
2.4.5 Application of Prepayments to Components. Any prepayment of the principal of the Loan, in whole or in part, voluntary or involuntary, shall be applied (a) first, to the reduction of the outstanding principal balance of the Project Loan until reduced to zero, and (b) second, to the reduction of the outstanding principal balance of the Building Loan until reduced to zero. Subsequent to any Event of Default, any payment of principal from whatever source may be applied by Lender between the various components of the Loan in Lender’s sole discretion.
Section 2.5 Defeasance.
2.5.1 Voluntary Defeasance(a) Provided no Event of Default shall then exist, Borrower shall have the right at any time after the Defeasance Expiration Date and prior to the date voluntary prepayments are permitted under Section 2.4.1 hereof to voluntarily defease all, but not part, of the Loan by and upon satisfaction of the following conditions (such event being a "Defeasance Event")
(i) Borrower shall provide not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice to Lender specifying the Payment Date (the “Defeasance Date”) on which the Defeasance Event is to occur;
(ii) Borrower shall pay to Lender all accrued and unpaid interest on the principal balance of the Loan to and including the Defeasance Date. If for any reason the Defeasance Date is not a Payment Date, the Borrower shall also pay interest that would have accrued on the Note through and including the Payment Date immediately preceding the next Payment Date, provided, however, if the Defeasance Deposit shall include short-term interest computed from the date of such prepayment through to the next succeeding Payment Date, Borrower shall not be required to pay such short term interest pursuant to this sentence;
(iii) Borrower shall pay to Lender all other sums, not including scheduled interest or principal payments, then due under the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents;

Borrower, pursuant to the Security Agreement or other appropriate document, shall authorize and direct that the payments received from the U.S. Obligations may be made directly to the Clearing Account (unless otherwise directed by Lender) and applied to satisfy the Debt Service obligations of Borrower under this Agreement and the Note. Any portion of the Defeasance Deposit in excess of the amount necessary to purchase the U.S. Obligations required by this Section 2.5 and satisfy Borrower’s other obligations under this Section 2.5 and Section 2.6 shall be remitted to Borrower.
2.5.2 Collateral. Each of the U.S. Obligations that are part of the defeasance collateral shall be duly endorsed by the holder thereof as directed by Lender or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form and substance that would be satisfactory to a prudent lender (including, without limitation, such instruments as may be required by the depository institution holding such securities or by the issuer thereof, as the case may be, to effectuate book-entry transfers and pledges through the book-entry facilities of such institution) in order to perfect upon the delivery of t
he defeasance collateral a first priority security interest therein in favor of Lender in conformity with all applicable state and federal laws governing the granting of such security interests.

In connection with any Defeasance Event, Borrower shall establish a successor entity (the “Successor Borrower”), which shall be a Special Purpose Entity, which shall not own any other assets or have any other liabilities or operate other property (except in connection with other defeased loans held in the same securitized loan pool with the Loan).

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no other assumption fee shall be payable upon a transfer of the Note in accordance with this Section 2.5.3, but Borrower shall pay all costs and expenses incurred by Lender, including Lender’s attorneys’ fees and expenses and any fees and expenses of any Rating Agencies, incurred in connection therewith.
Section 2.6 Release of Property. Except as set forth in this Section 2.6, no repayment, prepayment or defeasance of all or any portion of the Loan shall cause, give rise to a right to require, or otherwise result in, the release of the Lien of the Mortgage on the Property.
2.6.1 Release of Property.
(a) If Borrower has elected to defease the Loan and the requirements of Section 2.5 and this Section 2.6 have been satisfied, all of the Property shall be released from the Lien of the Mortgage and the U.S. Obligations, pledged pursuant to the Security Agreement, shall be the sole source of collateral securing the Note.

Borrower has good, marketable and insurable fee simple title to the real property comprising part of the Property and good title to the balance of the Property, free and clear of all Liens whatsoever except the Permitted Encumbrances, such other Liens as are permitted pursuant to the Loan Documents and the Liens created by the Loan Documents.

(e) All insurance provided for in this Section 6.1 shall be obtained under valid and enforceable policies (collectively, the “Policies” or in the singular, the “Policy”), and, to the extent not specified above, shall be subject to the approval of Lender as to deductibles, loss payees and insureds. The Policies described in Section 6.1 hereof (other than those strictly limited to liability protection) shall designate Lender as loss payee. Not less than fifteen (15) days prior to the expiration dates of the Policies theretofore fu
rnished to Lender, certificates of insurance evidencing the Policies and within thirty (30) days after commencement of the new or renewal Policy evidence satisfactory to Lender of payment of the premiums due thereunder (the “Insurance Premiums”), shall be delivered by Borrower to Lender.
(f) Prior to the renewal or replacement of any Policy (the “Existing Policy”), any required insurance may be procured under a blanket insurance Policy covering the Property and other properties or assets of Borrower or its affiliates, provided that any such blanket insurance Policy shall specifically allocate to the Property the amount of coverage from time to time required hereunder and shall otherwise provide the same protection as would a separate Policy insuring only the Property in compliance with the provisions of this Article VI. Lender, in its reasonable discretion, shall determine whether such blanket
Policies provide sufficient limits of insurance.
(g) Unless otherwise specified, all Policies of insurance provided for or contemplated by this Article VI shall, in the case of property damage, builder’s risk, boiler and machinery, flood and earthquake insurance, name Borrower as the insured and Lender (for the ratable benefit of Lenders and their successors and/or assigns) as the additional insured and shall contain a so-called New York standard non-contributing mortgagee clause or its equivalent in favor of Lender (including Lender as mortgagee and loss payee) providing that the loss thereunder shall be payable to Lender for the ratable benefit of Lenders and providing thirty (30) days’ advance notice of cancellation to Le
nder.
(h) All Property insurance also shall include a co-insurance waiver and Agreed Amount Endorsement. The amount of any deductible under any Policy must be reasonably acceptable to Lender. Without the Lender’s prior written consent, Borrower shall not name any Person other than the Lender, as loss payee, as it pertains to the Property, nor shall Borrower carry separate or additional insurance coverage covering the improvements at the Property concurrent in form or contributing in the event of loss with that required by this Agreement or; provided that, if blanket policies are obtained, this sentence shall not apply to property covered by such blanket policies other than the improvements at the Property and such tenant improvements and betterments
that Borrower is required to insure pursuant to the applicable Lease.
(i) Each Policy shall contain a provision whereby the insurer: (i) agrees that such Policy shall not be canceled or terminated, the coverage, deductible, and limits of such Policy shall not be modified, other provisions of such Policy shall not be modified if such Policy, after giving effect to such modification, would not satisfy the requirements of this Agreement, and such Policy shall not be so modified, canceled or fail to be renewed, without in each case, at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to Lender, (ii) waives any right to claim any Insurance Premiums and commissions against Lender or any Lender, provided that the Policy need not waive the requirement that the Insurance Premiums be paid in order for a claim to be paid to the insure
d and (iii) provides that Lender is permitted to make payments to effect the continuation of such policy upon notice of cancellation due to non-payment of premiums. In the event any Policy (except for general public and other liability and Workers Compensation insurance) shall contain breach of warranty provisions, such Policy shall not be invalidated by and shall insure Lender for the benefit of Lenders regardless of (A) any act, failure to act or negligence of or violation of warranties, declarations or conditions contained in such Policy by any named insured, (B) the occupancy or use of the Property for purposes more hazardous than permitted by the terms thereof, or (C) any foreclosure or other action or proceeding taken by Lender pursuant to any provision of the Mortgage or any other Loan Document.
(j) Borrower shall pay the Insurance Premiums for the Policies as the same become due and payable. Borrower shall deliver to Lender certified copies of the Policies required to be maintained pursuant to this Article VI; provided, however, Lender shall not be deemed by reason of the custody of such Policies to have knowledge of the contents thereof. Borrower also shall deliver to Lender within ten (10) days after Lender’s request, a statement setting forth the particulars as to all such Policies, indicating that all Insurance Premiums
due thereon have been paid and that the same are in full force and effect. Not later than fifteen (15) days prior to the expiration date of each Policy, Borrower shall deliver to Lender a certificate of insurance evidencing renewal of coverage as required herein. Not later than thirty (30) days after the renewal or replacement of each of the Policies, Borrower shall deliver to Lender evidence of payment of Insurance Premiums for such renewal or replacement Policies satisfactory to the Lender and not later than sixty (60) days after the renewal or replacement of each of the Policies, Borrower shall deliver to Lender an original or certified copy (as required pursuant to this paragraph) of a renewal or replacement Policy or Policies.
(k) If at any time Lender is not in receipt of written evidence that all insurance required hereunder is maintained in full force and effect, Lender shall have the right (but not the obligation), upon notice to Borrower, to take such action as Lender deems necessary to protect Lenders’ interest in the Property, including, without limitation, the obtaining of such insurance coverage as Lender in its sole discretion deems appropriate after three (3) Business Days notice to Borrower if prior to the date upon which any such coverage will lapse or at any time Lender deems necessary (regardless of prior notice to Borrower) to avoid the lapse of any such coverage. All Insurance Premiums incurred by Lender in connection with such action or in obtaining such insu
rance and keeping it in effect shall be paid by Borrower to Lender upon demand and until paid shall be secured by the Building Loan Mortgage and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.
(l) In the event of foreclosure of the Building Loan Mortgage and/or the Project Loan Mortgage or other transfer of title to the Property in extinguishment in whole or in part of the Total Debt, all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to the Policies that are not blanket Policies then in force concerning the Property and all proceeds payable thereunder shall thereupon vest in the purchaser at such foreclosure or Lender or other transferee in the event of such other transfer of title.
6.1.2 Insurance Company. The Policies shall be issued by financially sound and responsible insurance companies authorized to do business in the state in which the Property is located and having a claims paying ability rating of “A/VII” or better by A.M. Best Company, Inc. and “A- or better (and the equivalent thereof) by at least two (2) of the Rating Agencies rating the Securities (one of which shall be S&P if they are rating the Securities and one of which will be Moody’s if they are rating th
e Securities), or if only one (1) Rating Agency is rating the Securities, then only by such Rating Agency.
Section 6.2 Casualty and Condemnation.
6.2.1 Casualty. The term “Net Proceeds” for purposes of this Agreement shall mean: (i) the net amount of all insurance proceeds received by Lender pursuant to Section 6.1.1 (b)(1), (b)(iii), (c)(ii) and (c)(iv) as a result of such damage or destruction, after deduction of its reas
onable costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable counsel fees), if any, in collecting same (“Insurance Proceeds”), or (ii) the net amount of the Award, after deduction of its reasonable costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable counsel fees), if any, in collecting same (“Condemnation Proceeds”), whichever the case may be. If the 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 Casualty to Lender and Borrower shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute to completion the repair and restoration of the Property as nearly as possible to the condition the Property was in immediately prior to such Casualty with such alterations as may be reasonably approved by Lende
r (a “Restoration”) and otherwise in accordance with this Agreement. Borrower shall pay all costs of such Restoration whether or not such costs are covered by the Net Proceeds. Lender may, but shall not be obligated to, make proof of loss if not made promptly by Borrower. In addition, Lender may participate in any settlement discussions with any insurance companies (and shall approve the final settlement, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) with respect to any Casualty in which the Net Proceeds or the costs of completing the Restoration are equal to or greater than One Million and 00/100 Dollars ($1,000,000.00) and Borrower shall deliver to Lender all instruments required by Lender to permit such participation.
6.2.2 Condemnation. Borrower shall give Lender prompt notice of any actual or threatened commencement of any proceeding for the Condemnation by any Governmental Authority of all or any part of the Property and shall deliver to Lender a copy of any and all papers served in connection with such proceedings. Lender may participate in any such proceedings, and Borrower shall from time to time deliver to Lender all instruments requested by Lender to permit such participation. Borrower shall, at its expense, dil
igently prosecute any such proceedings, and shall consult with Lender, its attorneys and experts, and cooperate with them in the carrying on or defense of any such proceedings. Notwithstanding any Condemnation, Borrower shall continue to pay the Total Debt at the time and in the manner provided for its payment in the Building Loan Note and the Project Loan Note and in this Agreement and the Project Loan Agreement. Lenders shall not be limited to the interest paid on the Award by any Governmental Authority but shall be entitled to receive out of the Award interest and additional interest (if any) at the rate or rates provided in this Agreement or in the Building Loan Note or in the Project Loan Agreement or in the Project Loan Note, as applicable and the Debt shall not be reduced until any Award shall have been actually received and applied by Lender, after the deduction of expenses of collection, to the reduction or discharge of the Debt. If the Property or any portion thereo
f is taken by any Governmental Authority, Borrower shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the Restoration of the Property pursuant to this Section 6.2 and otherwise comply with the provisions of hereof. If the Property is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Lender of the Award, Lender shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Building Loan Note or the Project Loan Note shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive the Award, or a portion thereof sufficient to pay the Total Debt. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 6.2 or this Agreement to the contrary, Lender may, in its sole discretion, elect to (y) apply the net proceeds of any Condemnation Proceeds (after deduction of Lender’s reasonable costs and expenses, if any, in coll
ecting the same) in reduction of the Total Debt in such order and manner as Lender may elect, whether due or not, or (z) make the proceeds available to Borrower for the restoration or repair of the Property. Any implied covenant in this Agreement restricting the right of Lender to make such an election is waived by Borrower. If the Condemnation Proceeds are made available to Borrower for restoration or repair, the Condemnation Proceeds shall be disbursed upon satisfaction of and in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 6.2.
6.2.3 Application of Net Proceeds.
(a) Minor Casualty or Condemnation. If a Casualty or Condemnation has occurred to the Property, Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to all Proceeds are, except as otherwise herein provided, hereby assigned by Borrower to Lender and all Net Proceeds shall, except as otherwise herein provided, be paid to Lender. Borrower shall, in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner, file and prosecute the adjustment, compromise or settlement of any claim for Proceeds and, subject to Borrower’s right to receive the direct payment of any Net Proceeds as herein provided, will cause the same to be paid directly to Lender to be held and applied in accordance with the provis
ions of this Agreement. Except upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower may settle any insurance claim with respect to Net Proceeds which do not One Million and 00/100 Dollars ($1,000,000.00) (the “Restoration Threshold”). Whether or not an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Lender shall have the right to approve, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, any settlement which would in Lender’s reasonable judgment result in Net Proceeds which exceed the Restoration Threshold and Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Lender all instruments reasonably requested by Lender to permit such approval. Borrower shall pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs, fees and expenses incurred by Lender on behalf of Lenders (including all reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, the reasonable fees of insurance experts and adjusters and reas
onable costs incurred in any litigation or arbitration), and interest thereon at the Default Rate to the extent not paid within fifteen (15) Business Days after delivery of a request for reimbursement by Lender, accompanied by reasonable back-up documentation, in connection with the settlement of any claim for Proceeds and the seeking and obtaining of any payment on account thereof in accordance with the foregoing provisions. If any Proceeds are received by Borrower and may be retained by Borrower pursuant to this Section 6.2, such Proceeds shall, until the completion of the related Work, be held in trust for Lender for the ratable benefit of Lenders and shall be segregated from other funds of Borrower to be used to pay for the cost of the Restoration in accordance with the terms hereof, and to the extent such Proceeds exceed the Restoration Threshold, such Proceeds shall be forthwith paid directly to and held by L
ender to be applied or disbursed in accordance with this Article VI. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, or if Borrower fails to file any insurance claim for a period of fifteen (15) Business Days, or to prosecute same with commercially reasonable diligence following Borrower’s receipt of written notice to do so from Lender, Borrower hereby irrevocably empowers Lender, in the name of Borrower as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact, to file and prosecute such claim (including settlement thereof) with counsel satisfactory to Lender and to collect and to make receipt for any such payment, all at Borrower’s expense (including payment of interest at the Default Rate for any amounts advanced by Lender pursuant to this sentence). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, but excluding all situations requiring prepayment of the Note, to the exten
t any Proceeds (either singly or when aggregated with all other then unapplied Proceeds with respect to the Property) do not exceed the Restoration Threshold, such Proceeds are to be paid directly to Borrower to be applied to restoration of the Property in accordance with the terms hereof. As soon as reasonably practicable after receipt of the Net Proceeds Borrower shall commence and satisfactorily complete with due diligence: (x) the Completion of the Improvements in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, if such Casualty or Condemnation occurs prior to the Completion of the Improvements; of (y) the Restoration in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, if such Casualty or Condemnation occurs after the Completion of the Improvements.

(d) All plans and specifications required in connection with the Restoration shall be subject to prior approval by Lender and by an independent architect selected by Lender (which shall be the Construction Consultant if the Casualty or Condemnation occurs prior to the Completion of the Improvements) (the “Casualty Consultant”).

ARTICLE VII.
RESERVE FUNDS
Section 7.1 Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund. Simultaneously with the Initial Advance of the Project Loan, Borrower shall deposit with Lender an amount (the “Initial Tax and Insurance Escrow Deposit”) equal to the Taxes, Insurance Premiums and Other Charges that Lender estimates will be payable from and after the Closing Date through and including the date that the Second Tax and Insurance Escrow Deposit is payable, which shall be funded from the Project Loan Advance
. At least thirty (30) day prior to the first anniversary of the date hereof, Borrower shall deposit with Lender an amount (the “Second Tax and Insurance Escrow Deposit”) equal to the Taxes, Insurance Premiums and Other Charges that Lender estimates will be payable from and after the first anniversary of the date hereof through and including the last day of the Construction Term. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Project Loan Agreement concerning Advances, the Second Tax and Insurance Escrow Deposit shall be funded from an Advance of like amount under the Project Loan. Simultaneously with the Final Advance, Borrower shall pay to Lender an amount that, when added to the amounts payable under the next sentence, will be sufficient to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all Taxes and Other Charges payable on the next due date thereof at least thirty (30) days prior to their respective due
dates, and to pay all Insurance Premiums that Lender estimates will be payable for the next renewal of the coverage afforded by the Policies upon the expiration thereof at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Policies. In addition, Borrower shall pay to Lender (or shall cause Lender to advance) on each Payment Date occurring after the Construction Term (a) one-twelfth (1/12) of the Taxes and Other Charges that Lender estimates will be payable during the next ensuing twelve (12) months in order to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Taxes and Other Charges at least thirty (30) days prior to their respective due dates, and (b) one-twelfth (1/12) of the Insurance Premiums that Lender estimates will be payable for the renewal of the coverage afforded by the Policies upon the expiration thereof in order to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Insurance Premiums at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the
Policies (said amounts in (a) and (b) above hereinafter called the “Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund”). The Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund and the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount, shall be added together and shall be paid as an aggregate sum by Borrower to Lender. Lender will apply the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund to payments of Taxes and Insurance Premiums required to be made by Borrower pursuant to Section 5.1.2 hereof and under the Mortgage. In making any payment relating to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund, Lender may do so according to any bill, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office (with respect to Taxes) or insurer or agent (with respect to Insurance Premiums), without inquiry into the accuracy of such bill, statement or estimate or into the validity of any tax, assessment, sale, forf
eiture, tax lien or title or claim thereof. If the amount of the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund shall exceed the amounts due for Taxes, Other Charges and Insurance Premiums pursuant to Section 5.1.2 hereof, Lender shall, in its sole discretion, return any excess to Borrower or credit such excess against future payments to be made to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund. Any amount remaining in the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund after the Debt has been paid in full shall be returned to Borrower. If at any time Lender reasonably determines that the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund is not or will not be sufficient to pay Taxes, Other Charges and Insurance Premiums by the dates set forth in (a) and (b) above, Lender shall notify Borrower of such determination and Borrower shall increase its monthly payments (or, if such determination is made during the Construction Term, Borrower shall deposit the fu
ll amount of such deficiency within 5 days of such notice) to Lender by the amount that Lender estimates is sufficient to make up the deficiency at least thirty (30) days prior to the due date of the Taxes and Other Charges and/or thirty (30) days prior to expiration of the Policies, as the case may be. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower’s obligation to make monthly deposits with Lender for Insurance Premiums shall be suspended for so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and Borrower provides Lender with written evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that all insurance coverages required to be maintained by Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement are being maintained in full force and effect through one or more blanket insurance policies (provided that any such blanket insurance policies provide the same level of coverage which would otherwise be provided by a stand-alone policy). Borrower shall provide evidence reasonably acceptab
le to Lender on an annual basis thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the existing insurance that the insurance has been renewed and will provide notice of cancellation for non-payment. In the event Borrower fails to provide such evidence or an Event of Default occurs, however, Borrower will thereafter be required to make deposits with Lender for Insurance Premiums as provided herein.
Section 7.2 Interest Reserve.
7.2.1 Deposit of Interest Reserve Funds. Simultaneously with the Initial Advance of the Project Loan, Borrower shall deposit the sum of $[__________] with Lender (the “Initial Interest Reserve Deposit”), which shall be funded from the Initial Advance of the Project Loan. In addition, pursuant to Section 5.1.28(d), Borrower may be obligated to deposit an Additional Interest Reserve Deposit a
nd in the event that Lender determines in its sole discretion that the Interest Reserve Funds on deposit in the Interest Reserve Account are insufficient, Borrower shall deposit with Lender an amount equal to the deficiency in the Interest Reserve Funds as determined by Lender (each an “Interest Reserve Deposit”, each such amount so deposited shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Interest Reserve Fund”). The account in which the Interest Reserve Fund are held shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrower’s “Interest Reserve Account”. In lieu of making the Interest Reserve Deposits with Lender, Borrower shall have the right to deliver to Lender an irrevocable Letter of Credit acceptable to Lender in the amount of the Interest Reserve Deposit.
7.2.2 Release of Interest Reserve Funds. Provided no Event of Default or monetary Default exists and no amounts remain available for Advance under the Interest Reserve Line Item of the Project Loan Budget, on each Payment Date, Lender shall apply the Interest Reserve Funds to payments of the Monthly Debt Service Payment due on such date.
7.2.3 Application of Interest Reserve Funds. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender, at its option, may withdraw all the Interest Reserve Funds and if Lender does so, shall apply the Interest Reserve Funds either to the payment of interest due on the Loan or toward payment of the Total Debt in such order, proportion and priority as Lender may determine in its sole discretion. Lender’s right to withdraw and apply the Interest Reserve Funds shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies provided to Lender under the Loan Documents.
Section 7.3 Replacements and Replacement Reserve.
7.3.1 Replacement Reserve Fund. From and after Completion of the Improvements, Borrower shall pay to Lender on each Payment Date an amount equal to $1,375.00 (the “Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposit”) for replacements and repairs required to be made to the Property (collectively, the “Replacements”). Amounts so deposited shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrower’s “Replaceme
nt Reserve Fund” and the account in which such amounts are held shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrower’s “Replacement Reserve Account”. Lender may reassess its estimate of the amount necessary for the Replacement Reserve Fund from time to time, and may increase the monthly amounts required to be deposited into the Replacement Reserve Fund upon thirty (30) days notice to Borrower if Lender determines in its reasonable discretion that an increase is necessary to maintain the proper maintenance and operation of the Property.
7.3.2 Disbursements from Replacement Reserve Account. (c) Lender shall make disbursements from the Replacement Reserve Account to pay Borrower only for the costs of the Replacements. Lender shall not be obligated to make disbursements from the Replacement Reserve Account to reimburse Borrower for the costs of routine maintenance to the Property, replacements of inventory or for costs which are a Tenant’s obligation.
(b) Lender shall, upon written request from Borrower and satisfaction of the requirements set forth in this Section 7.3.2, disburse to Borrower amounts from the Replacement Reserve Account necessary to pay for the actual approved costs of Replacements or to reimburse Borrower therefor, upon completion of such Replacements (or, upon partial completion in the case of Replacements made pursuant to Section 7.3.2(e) hereof) as determined by Lender.

(b) Lender reserves the right, at its option, to approve all contracts or work orders over Twenty-five Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($25,000.00) with materialmen, mechanics, suppliers, subcontractors, contractors or other parties providing labor or materials in connection with the Replacements. Upon Lender’s request, Borrower shall assign any contract or subcontract to Lender.
(c) In the event Lender determines in its reasonable discretion that any Replacement is not being performed in a workmanlike or timely manner or that any Replacement has not been completed in a workmanlike or timely manner, after notice and a reasonable period to cure, Lender shall have the option to withhold disbursement for such unsatisfactory Replacement and to proceed under existing contracts or to contract with third parties to complete such Replacement and to apply the Replacement Reserve Fund toward the labor and materials necessary to complete such Replacement, upon reasonable prior notice to Borrower and to exercise any and all other remedies available to Lender upon an Event of Default hereunder.
(d) In order to facilitate Lender’s completion or making of such Replacements pursuant to Section 7.3.3(c) above, Borrower grants Lender the right to enter onto the Property and perform any and all work and labor necessary to complete or make such Replacements and/or employ watchmen to protect the Property from damage. All sums so expended by Lender, to the extent not from the Replacement Reserve Fund, shall be deemed to have been advanced under the Loan to Borrower and secured by the Mortgage. For this purpose Borrower constitutes and appoints Lender its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution to complete or undertake such Replace
ments in the name of Borrower. Such power of attorney shall be deemed to be a power coupled with an interest and cannot be revoked.

;7.3.3. Borrower shall cause all contractors and subcontractors to cooperate with Lender or Lender’s representatives or such other persons described above in connection with inspections described in this Section 7.3.3(f) or the completion of Replacements pursuant to this Section 7.3.3.
(g) Lender may require an inspection of the Property at Borrower’s expense prior to making a monthly disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account in order to verify completion of the Replacements for which reimbursement is sought. Lender may require that such inspection be conducted by an appropriate independent qualified professional selected by Lender and/or may require a copy of a certificate of completion by an independent qualified professional acceptable to Lender prior to the disbursement of any amounts from the Replacement Reserve Account. Borrower shall pay the expense of the inspection as required hereunder, whether such inspection is conducted by Lender or by an independent qualified professional.

(k) In addition to any insurance required under the Loan Documents, Borrower shall provide or cause to be provided workmen’s compensation insurance, builder’s risk, and public liability insurance and other insurance to the extent required under applicable law in connection with a particular Replacement. All such policies shall be in form and amount reasonably satisfactory to Lender. All such policies which can be endorsed with standard mortgagee clauses making loss payable to Lender or its assigns shall be so endorsed. Certified copies of such policies shall be delivered to Lender.
7.3.4 Failure to Make Replacements. (a) It shall be an Event of Default under this Agreement if Borrower fails to comply with any provision of this Section 7.3 and such failure is not cured within thirty (30) days after notice from Lender.

reviously received by it in accordance with this Section 7.4 for the expenses to which specific draws made hereunder relate, (2) reasonably satisfactory site inspections, and (3) receipt of lien releases and waivers from any contractors, subcontractors and others with respect to such amounts.

Any such actions taken by Lender shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singularly, successiv
ely, 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, equity or contract or as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower agrees that if an Event of Default is continuing (i) to Lender is not subject to any “one action” or “election of remedies” law or rule, and (ii) all liens and other rights, remedies or privileges provided to Lender shall remain in full force and effect until Lender has exhausted all of its remedies against the Property and the Mortgage has been foreclosed, sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Debt or the Debt has been paid in full.
(b) With respect to Borrower and the Property, nothing contained herein or in any other Loan Document shall be construed as requiring Lender to resort to the Property for the satisfaction of any of the Debt in any preference or priority, and Lender may seek satisfaction out of the Property, or any part thereof, in its absolute discretion in respect of the Debt. In addition, 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, without limitation, 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 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 of the Loan, 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, the Property shall remain subject to the Mortgage to secure payment of sums secured by the Mortgage and not previously recovered.
(c) 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 (the “Severed Loan 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) Business Days after notice has been given to Borrower by Lender of Lender’s intent to exercise its rights under such power. Borrower shall be obligated to pay any costs or expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, execution, recording or filing of the Severed Loan Documents and the Severed Loan Documents shall not contain any representations, warranties or covenants not contained in the Loan Documents and any such representations and warranties contained in the Severed Loan Documents will be given by Borrower only as of the Closing Date.

The 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 singularly, concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in
Lender’s sole discretion. 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.

At the request of Lender, and to the extent not already required to be provided by or on behalf of Borrower under this Agreement, Borrower shall use reasonable efforts to provide information not in the possession of Lender or which may be reasonably required by Lender or take other actions reasonably required by Lender, in each case in order to satisfy the market standards to which Lender customarily adheres or which may be reasonably required by prospective investors and/or the Rating Agencies in connection with any such Securitization including, without limitation, to:
(a) provide additional and/or updated Provided Information, together with appropriate verification and/or consents related to the Provided Information through letters of auditors or opinions of counsel of independent attorneys reasonably acceptable to Lender, prospective investors and/or the Rating Agencies;
(b) assist in preparing descriptive materials for presentations to any or all of the Rating Agencies, and work with, and if requested, supervise, third-party service providers engaged by Borrower and approved by Lender, Guarantor and their respective affiliates to obtain, collect, and deliver information requested or required by Lender, prospective investors and/or the Rating Agencies;
(c) deliver (i) an Additional Insolvency Opinion and an opinion with respect to, due execution and enforceability with respect to the Property, Borrower, Guarantor and their respective Affiliates and the Loan Documents, and such other legal opinions as Lender may request including, without limitation, a so called “10b-5” opinion, and (ii) revised organizational documents for Borrower, which counsel opinions and organizational documents shall be reasonably satisfactory to Lender, prospective investors and/or the Rating Agencies;
(d) if required by any prospective investor and/or any Rating Agency, use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver such additional tenant estoppel letters, subordination agreements or other agreements from parties to agreements that affect the Property, which estoppel letters, subordination agreements or other agreements shall be reasonably satisfactory to Lender, prospective investors and/or the Rating Agencies;
(e) make such representations and warranties as of the closing date of the Securitization with respect to the Property, Borrower, Guarantor and the Loan Documents as may be reasonably requested by Lender, prospective investors and/or the Rating Agencies and consistent with the facts covered by such representations and warranties as they exist on the date thereof, including the representations and warranties made in the Loan Documents;
(f) execute such amendments to the Loan Documents as may be requested by Lender, prospective investors and/or the Rating Agencies to effect the Securitization;
(g) if requested by Lender, review any information regarding the Property, Borrower, Guarantor, and the Loan which is contained in a preliminary or final private placement memorandum, prospectus, prospectus supplement (including any amendment or supplement to either thereof), or other disclosure document to be used by Lender or any affiliate thereof; and
(h) supply to Lender such documentation, financial statements and reports in form and substance required in order to comply with any applicable securities laws.
9.1.2 Loan Components.
(a) Borrower covenants and agrees that in connection with any Securitization of the Loan, upon Lender’s request, Borrower shall deliver one or more new component notes to replace the original note or modify the original note to reflect multiple components of the Loan (and such new notes or modified note shall initially have the same fully funded weighted average interest rate as the original note, but such new notes or modified note may subsequently change the weighted average spread and apply principal, interest rates and amortization of the Loan between the components in a manner specified by Lender in its sole discretion) and modify the Cash Management Agreement with respect to the newly created components such that the pricing and marketability of the Securitie
s and the size of each class of Securities and the rating assigned to each such class by the Rating Agencies shall provide the most favorable rating levels and achieve the optimum rating levels for the Loan, provided that the same do not materially increase Borrower’s obligations and/or liabilities under the Loan Documents or materially decrease Borrower’s rights under the Loan Documents.
(b) Borrower covenants and agrees that Lender may hereafter convert any portion of the Loan to subordinate financing, including one or more tranches of mezzanine debt, preferred equity, subordinate debt or participation in such loan, subordinate to such loan (collectively, “Subordinate Financing”), provided, however, such Subordinate Financing and the Loan following the creation of the Subordinate Financing shall, in the aggregate, initially have the same fully funded weighted average interest rate as the fully funded interest rate of the Loan prior to the creation of such Subordinate Financing, but such Subordinate Financing may subsequently change the weighted average spread and Lender may apply princi
pal, interest rates and amortization of the Loan and the Subordinate Financing in a manner specified by Lender in its sole discretion. If the Subordinate Financing takes the form of a mezzanine loan, a mezzanine borrower (the “Mezzanine Borrower”) may be created which will own one hundred percent (100%) of the equity interests in the Borrower. One hundred percent (100%) of the ownership and economic interests in the Mezzanine Borrower may, at Lender’s discretion, be required to be pledged as security for such tranches of Subordinate Financing, if any. A default with the related Loan shall be a default under the respective Subordinate Financing. Such Subordinate Financing shall be subject to an intercreditor agreement by and between the Lender and the subordinate lender(s).
9.1.3 Costs of Subordinate Financing. Borrower shall be responsible for all costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with any Subordinate Financing, (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) including without limitation (i) the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of any mezzanine loan documents (“Mezzanine Loan Documents”) and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby and all the costs of furnishing all opinions by counsel for Borrower and Mezzanine Borrower; (
ii) Mezzanine Borrower’s and Lender’s ongoing performance under and compliance with the Mezzanine Loan Documents, including confirming compliance with environmental and insurance requirements; (iii) the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and administration of any consents, amendments, waivers or other modifications of or under any Mezzanine Loan Document and any other documents or matters requested by Lender; (iv) filing and recording of any Mezzanine Loan Documents; (v) title insurance (including any applicable mezzanine endorsements or UCC endorsements or policies), surveys, inspections and appraisals; (vi) the creation, perfection or protection of Lender’s Liens in the collateral securing the Mezzanine Loan Documents (including fees and expenses for title and lien searches, intangibles taxes, personal property taxes, recording taxes, due diligence expenses, travel expenses, accounting firm fees, costs of appraisals, environmental reports and Construction Consultant, surveys an
d engineering reports); and (vii) fees charged by Rating Agencies in connection with the creation of the Subordinate Financing, or any modification of the Loan or the Subordinate Financing.
Section 9.2 Securitization Indemnification. (a) Borrower understands that certain of the Provided Information may be included in Disclosure Documents in connection with the Securitization and may also be included in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchang
e Act”), or provided or made available to investors or prospective investors in the Securities, the Rating Agencies, and service providers relating to the Securitization. In the event that the Disclosure Document is required to be revised prior to the sale of all Securities, Borrower will cooperate with the holder of the Note in updating the Disclosure Document by providing all current information necessary to keep the Disclosure Document accurate and complete in all material respects.
(b) The Indemnifying Persons agree to provide, in connection with the Securitization, an indemnification agreement (A) certifying that (i) the Indemnifying Persons have carefully examined the Disclosure Documents, including without limitation, the sections entitled “Risk Factors,” “Special Considerations,” “Description of the Mortgages,” “Description of the Mortgage Loans and Mortgaged Property,” “The Manager,” “The Borrower” and “Certain Legal Aspects of the Mortgage Loan,” and (ii) such sections and such other information in the Disclosure Documents (to the extent such information relates to or includes any Provided Information or any information regarding the Properties,
Borrower, Manager and/or the Loan) (collectively with the Provided Information, the “Covered Disclosure Information”) do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, (B) jointly and severally indemnifying Lender, BSCMI (whether or not it is the Lender), any Affiliate of BSCMI that has filed any registration statement relating to the Securitization or has acted as the sponsor or depositor in connection with the Securitization, any Affiliate of BSCMI that acts as an underwriter, placement agent or initial purchaser of Securities issued in the Securitization, any other co-underwriters, co-placement agents or co-initial purchasers of Securities issued in the Securitization, and each of their respective officers, directors, partners, employees, representatives, agents and Affil
iates and each Person or entity who Controls any such Person within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively, the “Indemnified Persons”), for any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs or expenses (including without limitation legal fees and expenses for enforcement of these obligations (collectively, the “Liabilities”) to which any such Indemnified Person may become subject insofar as the Liabilities arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Covered Disclosure Information or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state in the Covered Disclosure Information a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements in the Covered Disclosure Information, in light of the cir
cumstances under which they were made, not misleading and (C) agreeing to reimburse each Indemnified Person for any legal or other expenses incurred by such Indemnified Person, as they are incurred, in connection with investigating or defending the Liabilities. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which Borrower may otherwise have. Moreover, the indemnification and reimbursement obligations provided for in clauses (B) and (C) above shall be effective, valid and binding obligations of the Indemnifying Persons whether or not an indemnification agreement described in clause (A) above is provided.
(c) In connection with Exchange Act Filings, the Indemnifying Persons jointly and severally agree to indemnify (i) the Indemnified Persons for Liabilities to which any such Indemnified Person may become subject insofar as the Liabilities arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact in the Covered Disclosure Information, or the omission or alleged omission to state in the Covered Disclosure Information a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements in the Covered Disclosure Information, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and (ii) reimburse each Indemnified Person for any legal or other expenses incurred by such Indemnified Per
sons, as they are incurred, in connection with defending or investigating the Liabilities.
(d) Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person of notice of any claim or the commencement of any action, the Indemnified Person shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any Indemnifying Person, notify such Indemnifying Person in writing of the claim or the commencement of that action; provided, however, that the failure to notify such Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have under the indemnification provisions of this Section 9.2 except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced by such failure and, provided further that the failure to notify such Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any liability which i
t may have to an Indemnified Person otherwise than under the provisions of this Section 9.2. If any such claim or action shall be brought against an Indemnified Person, and it shall notify any Indemnifying Person thereof, such Indemnifying Person shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it wishes, assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person. After notice from any Indemnifying Person to the Indemnified Person of its election to assume the defense of such claim or action, such Indemnifying Person shall not be liable to the Indemnified Person for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Person in connection with the defense thereof except as provided in the following sentence; provided, however, if the defendants in any such action include both an Indemnifying Person, on the one hand, and one or more Indem
nified Persons on the other hand, and an Indemnified Person shall have reasonably concluded that there are any legal defenses available to it and/or other Indemnified Persons that are different or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Person, the Indemnified Person or Persons 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 Person or Persons. The Indemnified Person shall instruct its counsel to maintain reasonably detailed billing records for fees and disbursements for which such Indemnified Person is seeking reimbursement hereunder and shall submit copies of such detailed billing records to substantiate that such counsel’s fees and disbursements are solely related to the defense of a claim for which the Indemnifying Person is required hereunder to indemnify such Indemnified Person. No Indemnifying Person shall be liable for the expenses of more than o
ne (1) such separate counsel unless such Indemnified Person shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those available to another Indemnified Person.
(e) Without the prior written consent of BSCMI (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), no Indemnifying Person 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 Person is an actual or potential party to such claim, action, suit or proceeding) unless the Indemnifying Person shall have given BSCMI reasonable prior written notice thereof and shall have obtained an unconditional release of each Indemnified Person hereunder from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceedings. As long as an Indemnifying Person has complied with its obligations to defend
and indemnify hereunder, such Indemnifying Person shall not be liable for any settlement made by any Indemnified Person without the consent of such Indemnifying Person (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
(f) The Indemnifying Persons agree that if any indemnification or reimbursement sought pursuant to this Section 9.2 is finally judicially determined to be unavailable for any reason or is insufficient to hold any Indemnified Person harmless (with respect only to the Liabilities that are the subject of this Section 9.2), then the Indemnifying Persons, on the one hand, and such Indemnified Person, on the other hand, shall contribute to the Liabilities for which such indemnification or reimbursement is held unavailable or is insufficient: (x) in such proportion as is appropriate to r
eflect the relative benefits to the Indemnifying Persons, on the one hand, and such Indemnified Person, on the other hand, from the transactions to which such indemnification or reimbursement relates; or (y) if the allocation provided by clause (x) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (x) but also the relative faults of the Indemnifying Persons, on the one hand, and all Indemnified Persons, on the other hand, as well as any other equitable considerations. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 9.2, (A) no party found liable for a fraudulent misrepresentation shall be entitled to contribution from any other party who is not also found liable for such f
raudulent misrepresentation, and (B) the Indemnifying Persons agree that in no event shall the amount to be contributed by the Indemnified Persons collectively pursuant to this paragraph exceed the amount of the fees actually received by the Indemnified Persons in connection with the closing of the Loan.
(g) The Indemnifying Persons agree that the indemnification, contribution and reimbursement obligations set forth in this Section 9.2 shall apply whether or not any Indemnified Person is a formal party to any lawsuits, claims or other proceedings. The Indemnifying Persons further agree that the Indemnified Persons are intended third party beneficiaries under this Section 9.2.
(h) The liabilities and obligations of the Indemnified Persons and the Indemnifying Persons under this Section 9.2 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the satisfaction and discharge of the Debt.
(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Borrower shall have no obligation to act as depositor with respect to the Loan or an issuer or registrant with respect to the Securities issued in any Securitization.
Section 9.3 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 No
te, this Agreement, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, or in the Property, the Rents, 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 Rents and in any other collateral given to Lender, and Lender, by accepting the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, agrees that it 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 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 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) constitute a prohibition against Lender to seek a deficiency judgment against 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 the Property; or (g) 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 loss, damage, cost, expense, liability, claim or other obligation incurred by Lender (including attorneys’ fees and costs reasonably incurred) arising out of or in connection with the following:<
/div>
(i) fraud or intentional misrepresentation by Borrower or Guarantor in connection with the Loan;
(ii) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Borrower;
(iii) the breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or indemnification provision in the Environmental Indemnity Agreement or in the Mortgage concerning environmental laws, hazardous substances and asbestos and any indemnification of Lender with respect thereto in either document;

(vii) any security deposits, advance deposits or any other deposits collected with respect to the Property which are not delivered to Lender upon a foreclosure of the Property or action in lieu thereof, except to the extent any such security deposits were applied in accordance with the terms and conditions of any of the Leases prior to the occurrence of the Event of Default that gave rise to such foreclosure or action in lieu thereof; or
(viii) the breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or indemnification provision in the Guaranty of Completion or Guaranty of Recourse Carveouts.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Note or any of the Loan Documents, (A) 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 Debt secured by the Mortgage or to require that all collateral shall continue to secure all of the Debt owing to Lender in accordance with the Loan Documents, and (B) the Debt shall be fully recourse to Borrower (i) in the event of: (a) Borrower filing a voluntary petition under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law; (b) the filing of an involuntary petition against Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law,
in which Borrower colludes with, or otherwise assists such Person, or solicits or causes to be solicited petitioning creditors for any involuntary petition against Borrower from any Person; (c) Borrower filing an answer consenting to or otherwise acquiescing in or joining in any involuntary petition filed against it, by any other Person under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law; (d) Borrower consenting to or acquiescing in or joining in an application for the appointment of a custodian, receiver, trustee, or examiner for Borrower or any portion of the Property; or (e) Borrower making an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or admitting, in writing or in any legal proceeding, its insolvency or inability to pay its debts as they become due; (ii) if the first full monthly payment of interest on the Note is not paid when due; ; (iii) if Borrower fails to maintain its status as a Single Purpose Entity, after the Guaranty Notice (as defined in the Guara
nty of Recourse Carveouts) if Borrower fails to permit on-site inspections of the Property, fails to provide financial information, or fails to appoint a new property manager upon the request of Lender as permitted under this Agreement, each as required by, and in accordance with, the terms and provisions of this Agreement or the Mortgage; (iv) if Borrower fails to obtain Lender’s prior written consent to any Indebtedness or voluntary Lien encumbering the Property; or (v) if Borrower fails to obtain Lender’s prior written consent to any Transfer as required by this Agreement or the Mortgage.
Section 9.4 Intentionally Omitted.

ment”) between Lender and Servicer.

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, Borrower agrees that neither Lender nor its agents shall be liable for any monetary damag
es, and Borrower’s sole remedies shall be limited to commencing an action seeking injunctive relief or declaratory judgment. The parties hereto agree that any action or proceeding to determine whether Lender has acted reasonably shall be determined by an action seeking declaratory judgment.
Section 10.13 Expenses; Indemnity. (1) Borrower covenants and agrees to pay or, if Borrower fails to pay, to reimburse, Lender upon receipt of written notice from Lender for all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by Lender in connection with (i) the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreeme
nt and the other Loan Documents and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and all the costs of furnishing all opinions by counsel for Borrower (including without limitation any opinions requested by Lender as to any legal matters arising under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents with respect to the Property); (ii) Borrower’s ongoing performance of and compliance with Borrower’s respective agreements and covenants contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on its part to be performed or complied with after the Closing Date, including, without limitation, confirming compliance with environmental and insurance requirements; (iii) Lender’s ongoing performance and compliance with all agreements and conditions contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on its part to be performed or complied with after the Closing Date; (iv) the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and administration of any consents, amendme
nts, waivers or other modifications to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other documents or matters requested by Lender; (v) securing Borrower’s compliance with any requests made pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement; (vi) the filing and recording fees and expenses, title insurance and reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for providing to Lender all required legal opinions, and other similar expenses incurred in creating and perfecting the Lien in favor of Lender pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; (vii) enforcing or preserving any rights, in response to third party claims or the prosecuting or defending of any action or proceeding or other litigation, in each case against, under or affecting Borrower, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Property, or any other security given for the Loan; and (viii) enforcing any obligations of or collecting any payments due from Borrower under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or wit
h respect to the Property (including any fees incurred by Servicer in connection with the transfer of the Loan to a special servicer prior to a Default or Event of Default) or in connection with any refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided under this Agreement in the nature of a “work-out” or of any insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be liable for the payment of any such costs and expenses to the extent the same arise by reason of the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct of Lender. Any cost and expenses due and payable to Lender may be paid from any amounts in the Clearing Account or Cash Management Account, as applicable.
(a) Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Lender from and against any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for Lender in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding commenced or threatened, whether or not Lender shall be designated a party thereto), that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against Lender in any manner relating to or arising out of (i) any breach by Borrower of its obligations under, or any material misrepresentation by Borrower contained in, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or (i
i) the use or intended use of the proceeds of the Loan (collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided, however, that Borrower shall not have any obligation to Lender hereunder to the extent that such Indemnified Liabilities arise from the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct of Lender. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, defend and hold harmless set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it violates any law or public policy, Borrower shall pay the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by Lender.
(b) Borrower covenants and agrees to pay for or, if Borrower fails to pay, to reimburse Lender for, any fees and expenses incurred by any Rating Agency in connection with any consent, approval, waiver or confirmation obtained from such Rating Agency pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document and Lender shall be entitled to require payment of such fees and expenses as a condition precedent to the obtaining of any such consent, approval, waiver or confirmation.
Section 10.14 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.
Section 10.15 Offsets, Counterclaims and Defenses. Any assignee of Lender’s interest in and to this Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents shall take the same free and clear of all offsets, counterclaims or defenses which are unrelated to such documents which Borrower may otherwise have against any assignor of such documents, and no such unrelated counterclaim or defense shall be interposed or asserted by Borrower in any action or proceeding brought by any such
assignee upon such documents and any such right to interpose or assert any such unrelated offset, counterclaim or defense in any such action or proceeding is hereby expressly waived by Borrower.
Section 10.16 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) This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are solely for the benefit of Lender and Borrower and nothing contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents 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 herein or therein. All conditions to the obligations of Lender to make the Loan hereunder are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of Lender and no other Person shall have standing to require satisfaction of such conditions in accordance with their terms or be entitled to assume that Lender will refuse to make the Loan in the absence of strict compliance with any or all thereof and no other Person shall under any cir
cumstances be deemed to be a beneficiary of such conditions, any or all of which may be freely waived in whole or in part by Lender if, in Lender’s sole discretion, Lender deems it advisable or desirable to do so.
Section 10.17 Publicity. All news releases, publicity or advertising by Borrower or its Affiliates through any media intended to reach the general public which refers to the Loan Documents or the financing evidenced by the Loan Documents, to Lender, BSCMI, or any of their Affiliates shall be subject to the prior written approval of Lender.
Section 10.18 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 partners and others with interests in Borrower, and of the Property, and agrees not to assert any right under any laws pertaining to the marshalling of assets, the sale in inverse order of alienation, homes
tead 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 the Property for the collection of the Debt without any prior or different resort for collection or of the right of Lender to the payment of the Debt out of the net proceeds of the Property in preference to every other claimant whatsoever.
Section 10.19 Waiver of Counterclaim. 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.
Section 10.20 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 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 esta
te 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 10.21 Brokers and Financial Advisors. Borrower hereby represents that it has dealt with no financial advisors, brokers, underwriters, placement agents, agents or finders, in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, costs and expenses of any kind (including Lender
’s attorneys’ fees and expenses) in any way relating to or arising from a claim by any Person that such Person acted on behalf of Borrower or Lender in connection with the transactions contemplated herein. The provisions of this Section 10.21 shall survive the expiration and termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Debt.
Section 10.22 Prior Agreements. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents contain the entire agreement of the parties hereto and thereto in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and all prior agreements among or between such parties, whether oral or written, including, without limitation, the Commitment Letter dated June 28, 2007 between Borrower and Lender are superseded by the terms of this Agre
ement and the other Loan Documents.
Section 10.23 Joint and Several Liability. If Borrower consists of more than one (1) Person the obligations and liabilities of each Person shall be joint and several.
Section 10.24 Certain Additional Rights of Lender (VCOC). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Lender shall have:
(a) the right to routinely consult with and advise Borrower’s management regarding the significant business activities and business and financial developments of Borrower; provided, however, that such consultations shall not include discussions of environmental compliance programs or disposal of hazardous substances. Consultation meetings should occur on a regular basis (no less frequently than quarterly) with Lender having the right to call special meetings at any reasonable times and upon reasonable advance notice;
(b) the right, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, to examine the books and records of Borrower at any reasonable times upon reasonable notice;
(c) the right, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 5.1.11 hereof, to receive monthly, quarterly and year end financial reports, including balance sheets, statements of income, shareholder’s equity and cash flow, a management report and schedules of outstanding indebtedness; and
(d) the right, without restricting any other rights of Lender under this Agreement (including any similar right), to approve any acquisition by Borrower of any other significant property (other than personal property required for the day to day operation of the Property and/or construction of the Project Improvements).
The rights described above in this Section 10.24 may be exercised by any entity which owns and controls, directly or indirectly, substantially all of the interests in Lender.
Section 10.25 MERS. Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“MERS”), serves as mortgagee of record and secured party solely as nominee, in an administrative capacity, for Lender and only holds legal title to the interests granted, assigned, and transferred in the Mortgage and the Assignments of Leases. MERS shall at all times comply with the instructions of Lender. If necessary to comply with law or custom,
MERS (for the benefit of Lender) may be directed by Lender to exercise any or all of those interests, including without limitation, the right to foreclose and sell the Property, and take any action required of Lender, including without limitation, a release, discharge or reconveyance of the Mortgage. Subject to the foregoing, all references in the Loan Documents to “Mortgagee” shall include Lender and its successors and assigns. The relationship of Mortgagor and Lender under the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents is, and shall at all times remain, solely that of borrower and lender (the role of MERS thereunder being solely that of nominee as set forth above and not that of a lender); and Mortgagee neither undertakes nor assumes any responsibility or duty to Borrower or to any other Person with respect to the Property.

Nevertheless, the time periods set forth in the Contract for the performance by owner of its obligations thereunder shall be deemed extended by the period of time necessary to allow Lender to obtain possession of the Property in th
e manner Lender decides pursuant to its remedies under the Loan Documents.

ct.

3. If Borrower shall default under the Contract, Contractor shall not exercise any remedies, including, but not limited to, any right to terminate the Contract, until and unless Contractor shall give notice of intention to do so to Lender, and Lender shall fail to either (i) remedy the default of Borrower within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice or (ii) deliver within such thirty (30) day period to Contractor an undertaking to remedy such default at the cost and expense of Lender and thereafter diligently pursue such remedy.
4. If Borrower defaults under the Loan Documents (as defined in the Building Loan Agreement), or if there is a foreclosure of any mortgage securing payment of the Loan, or if Borrower becomes insolvent, at the election and option of Lender by notice from Lender to Contractor, either (i) Contractor will complete its obligations under the Contract with respect to the construction of the Improvements for the benefit of Lender, its nominee, wholly owned subsidiary or assign(s), [if the Contractor is not an Affiliate of Borrower, provided that, Lender shall pay Contractor for all work and services rendered, pursuant to the Contract whether prior to or subsequent to such election, for which Contractor has not oth
erwise received payment,] or (ii) the Contract shall terminate and at Lender's election Contractor shall immediately assign all of its rights under the subcontracts to Lender. In the event that Lender elects to have Contractor continue performance on Lender's behalf under the Contract, the time periods set forth in the Contract for performance by owner of its obligations thereunder shall be deemed extended by the period of time necessary to allow Lender to obtain possession of the Property in the manner Lender decides pursuant to its remedies under the Loan Documents.
5. Contractor further agrees that it shall not perform work pursuant to any change order that will result in a change in the contract price in excess of the change order amount, unless Contractor shall have received specific written approval of such change order from Lender or Lender's consulting engineer.
6. In the event any of the proceeds of the Loan are disbursed directly to Contractor, Contractor shall receive any such advances and shall hold the right to receive the same as a trust fund for the purpose of paying the costs of the Improvements as set forth in the Plans and Specifications and will apply the same first to such payment before using any part thereof for any other purpose.
7. Contractor hereby acknowledges and consents to that certain Assignment of Agreements, Permits and Contracts dated as of December 26, 2007, by Borrower to Lender, which assigns all of Borrower's rights under the Contract. In the event Lender, its nominee, its wholly owned subsidiary, successor(s) or assign(s) (the "Successor") succeeds to the rights of Borrower under the Contract, then, at the request of the Successor, and upon the Successor's written agreement to acc
ept Contractor's attornment, Contractor shall attorn and shall promptly execute and deliver any instrument the Successor may reasonably require to evidence such attornment, Upon such attornment, the Contract shall continue in full force and effect as if it were a direct agreement between the Successor and Contractor.
8. Contractor shall send all notices to Lender, as required by this letter, to the address of Lender set forth above by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested (or at such other address as Lender shall specify in writing from time to time).

FORM OF INSOLVENCY OPINION - TO BE DELIVERED UPON COMPLETION
December ____, 2007
Bear Stearns Commercial Mortgage, Inc.
383 Madison Avenue
New York, NY 10179
Re: $11,229,260.33 Building Loan and $4,920,739.67 Project Loan (collectively the "Loan"), made as of December ___, 2007, by Bear Stearns Commercial Mortgage, Inc. (the "Lender") to Acadia Atlantic Avenue LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the "Borrower")
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as special counsel to the Borrower in connection with the Loan. We understand that the Lender has made the final advances under that certain Building Loan Agreement and the certain Project Loan Agreement, each between the Lender and Borrower, and, in connection therewith, the Guaranty of Completion from Guarantor (as hereinafter defined) in favor of Lender has been discharged (collectively the "Final Advance"). The Borrower has requested that we deliver this opinion letter to you and we understand that the Lender will rely on this opinion in making the Final Advance.
The members of the Borrower are Acadia 3319 Atlantic Avenue, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the "Managing Member"), that owns 66.67% of the membership interests in the Borrower and Slayton Properties Atlantic LLC, a New York limited liability company ("Slayton") that owns 33.33% of the membership interests in the Borrower. The sole member of the Managing Member is Acadia Strategic Opportunity Fund II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Acadia Strategic").
The Property (as hereinafter defined) will be managed by Post Management, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the "Property Manager", and together with Acadia Strategic, sometimes collectively referred to herein as the "Guarantor").
I. OPINION REQUESTED
Bear Stearns Commercial Mortgage, Inc.
Page 4
In connection with the Final Advance, we have been requested and authorized by Borrower to render an opinion on whether, in the event that any one or more of the Managing Member, Acadia Strategic or Property Manager (each, a "Relevant Entity" and collectively, the "Relevant Entities") were to be a debtor or debtor acting as a debtor-in-possession in a case under 11 U.S.C. Section 101 et seq. (the "Bankruptcy Code"), under present reported decisional authority and statutes applicable to federal bankruptcy cases, in a properly presented and competently argued case, a United States Bankruptcy Court or other United States court exercising jurisdiction of such case under the Bankruptcy Code (a "Bankruptcy Court") would disregard the separate existence of the Borrower and order substantive consolidation under the Bankruptcy Code of the assets and liabilities of Borrower with the assets and liabilities of one or more of such Relevant Entities and treat such assets and liabilities as though Borrower and such Relevant Entity or Relevant Entities were one entity (a "Substantive Consolidation").
II. ASSUMPTIONS
Our opinion herein is expressly predicated on the assumption that a party in interest or Lender or other holder(s) of the Loan would, within any and all applicable time limitations set forth in the Bankruptcy Code, the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure, and any applicable local rules, (a) object to any written motion or other formal proceeding in Bankruptcy Court seeking a Substantive Consolidation, and (b) competently brief and argue such objection.
In rendering this opinion, we have reviewed the documents evidencing and relating to the Loan (as listed and identified on Schedule l hereto, the "Loan Documents"), and the Borrower's organizational documents (the "Organizational Documents", as listed on Schedule 1 attached hereto), and certificates or
font>good standing for Borrower. As to matters of fact, we have relied, with your acknowledgement and without any independent confirmation, investigation, or inquiry, upon the representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Loan Documents and the Organizational Documents of Borrower in all material respects insofar as they are material to the separateness of the Borrower. As to matters of faet, we also have reviewed, and with your acknowledgement and without any independent confirmation, investigation or inquiry, relied upon the representations made by Borrower and the certifications of the Relevant Entities, in the Certificate annexed hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated herein (the "Certificate") in all material respects insofar as they are material to the separateness of the Borrower. We have further assumed that such statements, representations and warranties are true and accurate in all respects material to Borrower's separateness, and that such covenants will, to the extent they regard the future, be kept, observed and otherwise performed in all respects material to Borrower's separateness, until the Loan is paid in full and the lien and security interests of the Building Loan Leasehold Mortgage, and the other Loan Documents are discharged. We have no actual knowledge of any facts indicating that any such statements, representations, or warranties are Use or misleading or that our reliance thereon would be unreasonable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Opinion or the Certificate, we have not assumed that the Borrower: (i) will remain solvent, be able to pay its debts as they become due, or be adequately capitalized, (ii) will not become a debtor under the Bankruptcy Code or oth
erwise subject to bankruptcy proceedings, or (iii) will make any payment or discharge any obligation to the extent that Borrower does not have access to available funds that enable it to do so.

Additionally, in rendering this opinion, we have assumed, to the extent material to Borrower's separateness, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of natural persons, and the conforming to the originals of all documents submitted to us as copies and the authenticity of the originals thereto. We have assumed, to the extent material to Borrower's separateness, that all parties had the corporate, partnership or limited liability company power and authority, as the case may be, to enter into and perform all obligations under all such documents, and, as to such parties, we also have assumed, to the extent material to Borrower's separateness, the due authorization by all requisite corporate, partnership and limited liability company action, and the due execution
and delivery, and validity, binding effect and enforceability of such documents, except as enforceability may be limited by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally, and (ii) general principles of equity (regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) (such limitations, collectively referred to as the "Insolvency Exception"), provided, however, that our recitation of the Insolvency Exception herein is not intended to and does not alter or provide a defense to our opinion set forth in this opinion.
We have also assumed for purposes of this opinion that the facts outlined below, all of which are reflected in written agreements and instruments executed in connection with the transactions described herein, upon which facts we rely, are now and will remain accurate in all material respects insofar as they are material to the separateness of Borrower.
1. The Borrower is a limited liability company organized on December 8, 2006 and validly existing under the laws of the State of Delaware.
2. The sole member of the Borrower is the Managing Member.
3. Borrower's Operating Agreement, dated as of December 8, 2006 ("Borrower's LLC Agreement") provides that Borrower's purposes shall be the acquisition, redevelopment, ownership, operation, management, leasing and financing of 3319 Atlantic Avenue, Brooklyn, New York (the "Property") and to perform such other activities as may be necessary, incidental or appropriate in connection therewith and to engage in any lawful act or activity and to exercise any powers permitted to limited liability companies organized under the laws of the State of Delaware that are related or incidental to
and necessary, convenient or advisable for the accomplishment of the above-mentioned purposes.
4. The Loan Documents include certain obligations for which Lender has recourse to Borrower under certain limited circumstances as set forth more particularly therein (the "Recourse Obligations").
5. To the extent material to Borrower's separateness, Borrower will comply with its obligations under the Borrower's LLC Agreement and the Loan Documents which are material for the purposes of this opinion, including without limitation, the requirement that, until the Loan is paid in full, Borrower shall observe the separateness criteria, as contained therein.

6. To the extent material to Borrower's separateness, the provisions of the Loan Documents which are material for purposes of this opinion, including without limitation the separateness warranties and covenants contained herein, will not be changed from and after the date hereof.
7. Lender has reasonably relied on, among other things, Borrower's separateness from each of the Relevant Entities in making the Final Advance.
8. Lender would suffer prejudice from, or be harmed by, a Substantive Consolidation.
9. Neither Borrower nor any Relevant Entity will engage in any type of fraudulent activity with respect to any matter that is material for purposes of this opinion.
10. Except as set forth in the Loan Documents, none of the Relevant Entities will hold its credit out as available to pay the debts of Borrower or pay the debts of Borrower or commingle its assets with those of the Borrower.
III. LEGAL BACKGROUND
Substantive Consolidation Generally
Substantive consolidation is an equitable doctrine that permits a bankruptcy court, in appropriate circumstances, to disregard the legal separateness of a debtor and a related but distinct legal entity, which may or may not itself be a debtor in bankruptcy, and to merge their respective assets and liabilities for bankruptcy purposes. Substantive consolidation typically results in the pooling of liabilities and assets of the entities to be consolidated, the satisfaction of liabilities from the resultant common fund of assets, and the elimination of all duplicate and inter-entity claims. E.g., Union Sav. Batik v. Augie/Restivo Baking Co. (In re Augie/Restivo Baking Co.), 860 F.2d 515, 518 (2nd Cir. 1988) (citing 5 Collier on Bankruptcy § 1100.06, at 1100-32 n.l (L. King ed. 15th ed. 1988)); In re Ltd. Gaining of Ain., Inc., 228 B.R. 275, 286 (Bankr. N.D. Okla. 1998); In re Standard Brands Paint Co., 154 B.R. 563, 569 (Bankr. C.D. Cal. 1993). Subs
tantive consolidation being an equitable remedy, however, its exact consequences vary from case to case. E.g. Moran v. Hong Kong & Shanghai Banking Corp. (In re Deltacoip, Ina), 179 B.R. 773, 777 (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. 1995) (noting that court is afforded great deal of discretion in constructing consolidation order and retains the power to order less than complete consolidation) (citing cases); 2 Collier on Bankruptcy P,105.09[2], at 105-88 - 105-89 (15th ed. rev. 2002) (stating that substantive consolidation cases are factually specific and must be decided on a case-by-case basis).
Because the entities sought to be consolidated frequently will have different debt-to-asset ratios, substantive consolidation usually redistributes wealth among the entities' creditors. E.g., Eastgroup Props. v. S. Motel Assn, Ltd., 935 F.2d 245, 248 (11th Cir. 1991) (quoting Drabkin v. Midland-Ross Co. (In re Auto-Train Corp.), 810 F.2nd 270, 276 (D.C. Cir. 1987)); In re Ltd. Gaining, 228 B.R. at 286-287. Thus, as courts have emphasized repeatedly, consolidation vitally affects parties' substantive rights and should be used only sparingly after careful scrutiny of the evidence. E.g., FDIC v. Colonial Realty Corp., 966 F.2d 57, 61 (2nd Cir. 1992) (quoting Chem. Bank N.Y. Trust Co. v. Kheel, 369 F.2d 845, 847 (2nd Cir. 1966)); In re Ltd. Gaming, 228 B.R. at 287. Some court decisions, however, have noted a "modern" or "liberal" trend toward allowing substantive consolidation. E.g. Eustgroup, 935 F.2d at 248-49 &.n.10 (citing cases); In re Walnut Equip. Leasing to., Inc., No. 97-19699-DWS, 1999 W1. 288651, at *3 n.9 (Bankr. E.D. Pa. May 4, 1999); In re Bonham, 226 B.R. 56, 83 (Bankr. D. Alaska 1998), zd `d, 229 F.3d 750 (9th Cir. 2000).
Bear Stearns Commercial Mortgage, Inc.

Substantive consolidation is analogous to the non-bankruptcy-law remedy of "piercing the corporate veil," which permits a plaintiff to disregard the corporate entity when necessary to prevent fraud or to enforce a paramount equity. In fact, early cases applied a test for substantive consolidation that was virtually identical to the test for piercing the corporate veil. In re Standard Brands, 154 B.R. at 567 (citing cases). Substantive consolidation was accomplished in early cases by finding that the entity with which consolidation was sought was the "alter-ego" or an "instrumentality" of the debtor which was used by the debtor to hinder, delay or otherwise defraud creditors. E.g., Mantle Indus., Inc. v. Gerstel, 232 F.2d 294, 297 (5th Cir. 1956) (citing Fish v. East, 114 F.2d 177, 191 (10th Cir. 1940)).
Although in early substantive consolidation cases courts looked to state corporate veil-piercing law for guidance, modern courts have increasingly looked to a growing body of federal common-law opinions decided under federal bankruptcy law. E.g., Eastgroup; In re Augie/Restivo Baking Co. Ltd., supra; In re Auto-Train, supra; In re Cont 7 Vending Machine Corp., 517 F.2d 997 (2nd Cir. 1975); In re Flora Mir Candy Corp., 432 F.2nd 1060 (2nd Cir. 1970); Kheel, supra; Soviero v. Franklin Nat '1 Bank, 328 F.2d 446 (2nd Cir. 1964); Stone v. Eacho (In re Tip Top Tailors, Inc.), 127 F.2d 284 (4th Cir.), cert. denied, 317 U.S. 635 (1942). But see In re Al/co Mining, Inc., 278 B.R. 586 (Bankr. M.D. Fla. 2002) (basing. substantive consolidation on alter-ego theory); In re Moran Pipe & Supply Co., Inc., 130 B.R. 588 (Bankr. F.D. Okla. 1991) (same). Consequently, federal courts rely almost uniformly on the federal common law inst
ead of on state corporate law in deciding whether or not to substantively consolidate.
Substantive consolidation sounds in equity, and its general purpose is to ensure the equitable treatment of all creditors, not just a particular plaintiff. Colonial Realty, 966 F.2d at 61; In re Augie/Restivo, 860 F.2d at 518; In re Cooper, 147 B.R. 678, 684 (Bankr. D.N.J. 1992); (hut see discussion infra. at note 2). As a result, substantive consolidation does not require a finding of fraud or an intent to hinder or delay creditors, but a finding that consolidation would be more equitable to all parties under the circumstances. In the Matter of Munford, Inc., 115 B.R. 390, 394 (Bankr. N.D. Ga. 1990); see In re Tureaud, 59 B.R. 973, 975-76 (N.D. Okla. 1986). While later cases have r
elaxed the requirement of fraud in favor, of other factors warranting substantive consolidation, courts will still pierce the corporate veil to effect a substantive consolidation if fraud or similar activity is present. E.g., Carte Blanche (Singapore) Pte., Ltd. v. Diners Club hit 'I. Inc., 2 F.3d 24, 26 (2nd Cir. 1993) (noting that exceptions to corporate separateness are made "to prevent fraud or other wrong, or where a parent dominates and controls a subsidiary"); In re Daily, 107 B.R. 996 (Bankr. D. Haw. 1989), rev 'd on other grounds, 940 F.2d 1306 (9th Cir. 1991); In re Stop & Go of Am., Inc., 49 B.R. 743 (Bankr. D. Mass. 1985); Walter E. Heller & Co. v. Langenkamp (In re Tureaud), 45 B.R. 658, 662-63 (Bankr. N.D. Okla. 1985), aff'd, 59 B.R. 973 (N.D. Okla. 1986). In sum, however, substantive consolidation is different from piercing the corporate veil. E.g
., Colonial Realty, 966 F.2d at 61; In re Bonham, 226 B,R. at 76-77; Helena Chem. Co. v. Circle Land & Cattle Corp. (In re Circle Land & Cattle Cotp.), 213 B.R. 870, 874-875 (Bankr. D. Kan. 1997).
Bear Stearns Commercial Mortgage, Inc.

While the issue of substantive consolidation typically arises in the context of an affiliated group of corporations, one or more of which is in bankruptcy, the doctrine is equally applicable in cases involving non-corporate entities, such as partnerships and their individual partners. See, e.g., Colonial Realty, 966 F.2d at 60-61 (consolidating estates of general partnership and two of its general partners) (citing cases); Eastgroup, 935 F.2d at 252 (consolidating limited partnership with related management corporation); In re Ltd. Gaming, 228 B.R. at 287-88 (confirming liquidating plan which consolidated estates of limited partnership and its corporate partner); In re Palumbo Family Ltd. P 'ship, 182 B.R. 447, 471 (Bankr. E.D. Va. 1995) (consolidating estates of limited partnership and individual general partner); Sender v. Buchanan (In re Hedged-Ines. Assocs., Inc.), 163 B.R. 841, 844, 849-50 (Bankr. D. Colo. 1994) (finding "no logical reason" why estate of corporate entity, the general partner of at least two of three related limited partnerships, could not be substantively consolidated with the consolidated partnership estates), aff'd, 84 F.3d 1286 (10th Cir. 1996); Gill v. Sierra Pac. Constr., Inc. (In re Parkway Calabasas Ltd.), 89 B.R. 832, 534-35 (Bankr. C.D. Cal. 1988) (consolidating estates of four limited partnerships and one of their principals), aff'd, 94.9 F.2d 1058 (9th Cir. 1991).1
Court's Authority To Grant Substantive Consolidation
The authority of a bankruptcy court to substantively consolidate two or more bankruptcy debtors is well-established. That authority stems both from Section 105 of the Bankruptcy Code, which expressly empowers bankruptcy courts to issue any order necessary or appropriate to carry out the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, and more generally from the bankruptcy court's being a so-called "court of equity." Colonial Realty, 966 F.2d at 60 (citing Pepper v. Litton, 308 U.S. 295, 304 (1939)); In re Bonham, 226 B.R. at 75; In re Standard Brands, 154 B.R. at 567 (citing cases).
Most courts have held that bankruptcy courts also have the power under Section 105 of the Bankruptcy Code to consolidate a bankruptcy debtor with an entity not in bankruptcy. See, e.g., In re Bonham, 226 B.R. at 75 ("[tIn what appears to be a slight majority of the cases
1 A few reported opinions involve substantive consolidation in which at least one oldie legal entities was a statutory limited liability company See eg., In re American Ilunicpalienl, Inc., 298 B.R. 152, 155 & ml, 156 (Bankr. M.D. Tenn. 2003) (substantive consolidation was appropriate tier a number of corporations and three limited liability companies involved in home health care scnvice
s) In re Erhrrn is Theatres Circuit, Inc., 281 H.R. 675, 677 & n.l , 078 (Bankr. C.D. Cal. 2002) (noting that bankruptcy estates of five Califnrnia corporations and two Delaware limited liability companies, and their affiliates, were substantively consolidated in confirmed chapter 1 I plan); In rc Summit Financial Services, Inc., 240 B. R. [05, 108 (Bankr. N.D. Ga. 1999) (three corporations and one limited liability company substantively consolidated in involuntary Chapter 7 of financial institutions). "Based on the developtoent of die vase law with respect to both corporations and partnersh
ips, however, there does nut appear to be any reason why materially different standards or principles should apply to an analysis of these [substantive consolidation] issues as they relate to a limited liability company." 2 Collier on Bankruptcy P.105.09[1l[c], at 105.87 (15th ed. rev., Release 67. August 1998) (footnote unfitted). [he similarities between limited liability companies and limited partnerships suggest that the courts would view the substantive consolidation of limited partnerships by the same standards as the substantive consolidation of limited liability companies and corporations. Accordingly, the legal status of Borrower as a Delaware limited liability conipanydoes not change our substantive-consolidation analysis herein.

In this connection, some courts have argued that the consolidation of a debtor with a non-debtor essentially circumvents the requirements in Section 303 of the Bankruptcy Code for filing an involuntary bankruptcy petition against
the non-debtor. See In re Circle Land & Cattle Corp., 213 B.R. at 876-77; Morse Operations, Inc. v. Robins Le-Coca, Inc. (In re Lease-A-Fleet, Inc.), 141 B.R. 869, 875 (Bankr. E.D. Pa. 1992); Goldman v. Haverstraw Assocs. (In re R.H.N. Realty Corp.), 84 B.R. 356, 358 (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. 1988). Other courts, however, have rejected this argument. E.g., In re Alico Mining, Inc., 278 B.R.
at 588, 589 (rejecting involuntary-bankruptcy limitation, but requiring party seeking substantive consolidation of debtor with non-debtor to establish debtor nothing more than alter ego of non-debtor); Matter of Munford, 115 B.R. at 397-398.
Standards for Substantive Consolidation
The standards for substantive consolidation have evolved exclusively through case law, not by statute. Although Sections 302 and 1123(a)(5)(C) of the Bankruptcy Code refer to "consolidation," they do not articulate a legal standard for substantive consolidation.2 Additionally, Rule 1015(b) of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure expressly permits the "joint administration" of separate debtors' estates, but the Official Advisory Committee Note to Rule 1015(b) makes it clear that Rule 1015(b) has nothing to do with sub
stantive consolidation, In re Bonham, 226 B.R. at 76.
In determining whether substantive consolidation is appropriate, courts have assayed a multitude of factors in lieu of applying a rigid, bright-line test. These factors are as follows:
(a) Common Ownership or Control.
Common ownership or control of the debtor and the entities sought to be consolidated increases the likelihood of consolidation, but will not by itself result in consolidation. E.g.,
2 Though a provision for merger or consolidation of the debtor with one or nmre persons may he a permissible means for the mandatory adequate implementation of a chapter 11 plan. 11 U.S.C. § 1123(a)(5)(C), the there inclusion of a substantive-consolidation provision in a chapter 11 plan does not automatically mean that such a provision will be or can be automatically confirmed over proper objection. See In rep Stolle & Webster, hie., 286 B.R. 532, 542, 545 n.8
, 546 (Bankr. D. Del. 2002) (reserving examination of facts of chapter 11 case bearing upon numerous suhstantive-consolidation factors and concomitant determination whether substantive consolidation warranted).

Bear Stearns Commercial Mortgage, Inc.
Page 11
(b) Identical or Overlapping Officers or Directors.
When the debtor and the entities sought to be consolidated have identical or overlapping officers or directors, this increases the likelihood of consolidation, but is not controlling. See, e.g., In re Ltd. Gaming, 228 B.R. at 288; In re Lease-A-Fleet, 141 B.R. at 871, 877; In re Thickhead Am. Corp., No. 91-978, 1992 Bankr. LEXIS 2506 (Bankr. D. Del. Aug. 13, 1992); In re Drexel Burnham Lambert Group Inc., 138 B.R. 723, 766 (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. 1992).
(c) Consolidated Tax Returns or Financial Reporting.
When the debtor and its affiliates file consolidated tax returns, or report their assets and liabilities on a consolidated basis in financial statements or Securities and Exchange Commission documents, consolidation becomes more likely. See, e.g., In re Richton Int'l, Corp., 12 B.R. 555 (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. 1981); In re Food Fair, Inc., 10 B.R. 123 (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. 1981); Sow-ern, 328 F.2d 446; compare Saccurato v. Shawmut Bank N.A. (In re Mars Stores, Inc.), 150 B.R. 869, 880 (Bankr. D. Mass. 1993) (consolidated financials in 10-Q weighed in favor of consolidation), with In re Auto-Train, 810 F.2d at 278 (S-1 registration statement supported creditor's claim of reliance on separate credit of entity sought to be consolidated).
The presentation of consolidated financial statements and tax returns to the public and creditors can factor significantly into a court's decision to consolidate. See In re Murray Indus., Inc., 119 B.R. 820 (Bankr. M.D. Fla. 1990); In re Richton Int'l, Corp., 12 B.R. at 557. Consolidated tax returns and financial statements can form a basis from which a cote can decide that the practical impossibility of reconstructing a debto
r's financial records makes substantive consolidation necessary. See In re Drexel Burnham Lambert Group, Inc., 138 B.R. 723. Still, a court may not consolidate a debtor with its related entities if the existence of consolidated financial statements or tax returns does not raise a substantial difficulty or expense in separating the finances of the entities. In re World Access, Inc., 301 B.R. 217 (Bankr. N.D. Ill. 2003); In re Snider Bros., Inc., 18 B.R. 230, 239 (Bankr. D. Mass. 1982) (consolidation not warranted because debtor kept separate books and the allegation that it would take considerable time and expense to verify accounting entries was not sufficient). Moreover, entities not employing consolidated records may still be substantively consolidated when their affairs are greatly entangled in a functional sense. In re Standard Brands Paint Co., 154 B.R. at 572-73.
(d) Inter-Affiliate Debts or Guarantees.
The presence of numerous inter-affiliate debts or guarantees among the affiliates sought to be consolidated typically weighs strongly in favor of consolidation, particularly ifsuch debts or guarantees are very extensive so that untangling would be difficult or costly. See In re GC Cos., 274 B.R. 663, 673 (Bankr. D. Del. 2002) (significant loans of parent guaranteed by subsidiaries reinforced necessity for substantive consolidation), rev 'd in part on other grounds, 298 B.R. 226 (D. Del. 2003); Ira re Standard Brands Paint Co., 154 B.R. at 572 (multiple interdebtor guarantees and interdebtor debts pointed towards substantive consolidation even though the debtors were not "entangled in a records sense"); In re Drexel Burrrharn Lambert Group, Inc., 138 B.R. at 766 (numerous and well known intercompany guarantees a factor in allowing substantive consolidation of debtor and subsidiaries); In re Food Fair, 10 B.R. at 126 (extensive cross corporate guarantees factor in the interrelationship of the companies and in approving substantive consolidation); In re Richton Irnt'I Co., 12 B.R. at 558 (same); In re Vecco Constr. Indus., Inc., 4 B.R. 407, 411
(Bang. E.D. Va. 1980) (existence of inter-company guarantee on major secured obligation added support to substantive consolidation).
Bear Stearns Commercial Mortgage, Inc.
Page 12
However, courts have found that the presence of inter-affiliate guarantees and loans does not demand the imposition of substantive consolidation without the existence of other factors such as commingling of assets and one set of records. In re World Access, Inc., 301 B.R. 217 (intercotporate guarantees were one of several factors that had relevance to the propriety of consolidation, but other, more important factors such as commingling of assets and poor record keeping, had not been established to justify consolidation); In re Donut Queen, Ltd., 41 B.R. 706, 711-12 (Bankr. E.D.N.Y. 1984) (guarantees were not of such a character as to mandate consolidation because they related to one specific transaction and did not evidence a great commonality of business purpose); In re Snider Bros., inc., 18 B.R. at 239 (consolidation not warranted despite the frequency of intercorporate transactions, loans, direct sales and guarantees because debtor kept separate books and the allegation that it would take considerable time and expense to verify accounting entries was not sufficient).
(e) Undercapitalization.
When the affiliates sought to be consolidated are grossly undercapitalized for their business undertakings, the likelihood of consolidation increases. See, e.g., In re 1438 Meridian Place, N. W , Inc., 15 B.R. 89, 96 (Bankr. D.D.C. 1981).
(i) Commingling of Assets or Business Functions.
The debtor's commingling of assets or business functions with its affiliates weighs in favor of consolidation, but generally is not dispositive unless the commingling is so extensive as to make the separation of the entities' assets impossible or not cost-effective. See, e.g., Soviero v. Franklin Nat'l Bank, 328 F.2d at 448. Consolidation may also he appropriate where the debtor and its affiliates are merely functionally integrated, if other factors favoring consolidation are present. E.g., In re Standard Brands, 154 B.R. at 572.
(g) Failure To Maintain Corporate and Other Formalities.
The failure of the debtor to maintain corporate formalities, particularly in dealings with its affiliates, weighs in favor of substantive consolidation; but without more, this will not warrant consolidation except in the most egregious cases. See, e.g., In re Snider Bros., 18 B.R. at 234; In re Buckhead Am. Corp., supra; see also Soviero, 368 F.2d at 448 (featuring flagrant disregard of corporate forms); In re Tureaud, 45 B.R. at 660-61 (featuring egregious disregard of corporate formalities).
(h) Fraudulent or Preferential Transfers.
When significant fraudulent or preferential transfers exist between the debtor and the entity sought to be consolidated, courts sometimes will grant consolidation to obviate the cost of avoiding or recovering such transfers. See, e.g., In re Tureaud, 59 B.R, at 977; In re Standard Brands, 154 B.R. at 571. Other courts, however, have held that the traditional statutory methods for avoiding and recovering such transfers expressly provided in the Bankruptcy Code are always preferable to the more radical remedy of substantive consolidation. See, e.g., hi re Lease-A-Fleet, 141 B.R. at 875-76.
Bear Stearns Commercial Mortgage, Inc.
Page 13
(i) Fraudulent or Inequitable Use of an Affiliate.
When the debtor uses an affiliate to hide or perpetrate fraud, to hinder creditors, or otherwise to advance an inequitable result, consolidation is likely. See, e.g., Sampsell, 313 U.S. at 216-17; Manle Indus., 232 F.2d at 297; In re Tureaud, 45 B.R. at 663.
(j) Economic Benefits of Consolidation.
A factor frequently considered by courts is the potential profitability of consolidating the debtor and its related entities. See, e.g., In re Vecco Constr. htdus., Inc., 4 B.R. at 410. Consolidation has been granted where it improved the debtor's chances for a successful financial reorganization. See, e.g., In re Orfa Coip., 129 B.R. at 414-15 (citing In re F.A. Potts & Co., Inc., 23 B.R. 569, 572 (Bankr. E.D. Pa. 1982)).
(k) Degree of Difficulty in Segregating Assets and Liabilities.
An extremely probative and sometimes decisive factor in consolidation decisions is the degree of difficulty in segregating the various entities' respective assets and liabilities. Consolidation probably will be granted if the entities' assets and liabilities are so entangled that their segregation is impossible or can only be achieved at great expense. See, e.g., In re Augie/Restivo, 860 F.2d at 519; In re Drexel Burnham, 138 B.R. at 766. But see In re DRW Prop., 54 B.R. at 496-497 (refusing to grant consolidation even though it would cost over $2 million to disentangle the various entities).
(1) Reliance on Separate Credit of Entities To Be Consolidated.
In honoring settled commercial expectations, courts frequently eschew consolidation where objecting creditors have reasonably relied on the separate credit of one of the entities sought to be consolidated. See, e.g., In re Augie/Restivo, 860 F.2d at 515; In re Auto-Train, 810 F.2d at 277-78. A creditor may be estopped from asserting such reliance, however, where the creditor knew or should have known of the close association of the debtor and the entities sought to be consolidated. Eustgroup, 935 F.2d at 249 n.l I (citing In re Snider Bros., 18 B.R. at 235, 237, 233). Alternatively, if creditors have dealt with the debtor and its related entities as a single integrated entity, that fact weighs in favor of consolidation but is not controlling. Compare In re Leslie Fay Cos., Inc., 207 B.R. 764, 780 (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. 1997) (granting consolidation), and In re Munjbrd, 115 B.R. at 395-96 (granting consolidation), with In re Crown Mach. & Welding, Inc., 100 B.R. 25, 28 (Bankr. D. Mont. 1989) (refusing to consolidate even though creditors believed they were dealing with one entity).
(m) Prejudice or Benefit to Creditors.
Bear Stearns Commercial Mortgage, Inc.
Page 14
Inequitable prejudice to creditors generally precludes consolidation. See, e.g., In re Augie/Restivo, 860 F.2d at 517-19 (refusing to consolidate where secured lender's unsecured deficiency claim would have been subordinated as a result). However, that some creditors will be adversely affected by consolidation is not controlling. In re Murray Indus., Inc., 119 S.R. at 828. See In re Owens Corning, 419 F. 3d 195 at 214 (3d Cir.
2005) (noting that "mere benefit to some creditors...falls far short" of justifying consolidation.) Thus, if consolidation would directly benefit certain creditors, it may be granted over the objections of other creditors. E.g., Eastgroup, 935 F.2d at 251 (permitting consolidation in part because it would increase the pro rata distribution to priority creditors).
(n) Individual or Non-Debtor Status of Entities To Be Consolidated.
A number of courts have expressed reluctance to consolidate a debtor with individuals or with entities that are not themselves bankruptcy debtors. Accordingly, in such cases a higher standard for consolidation may be imposed. See, e.g., In re Lease-A-Fleet, 141 B.R. at 874, 875-76 (noting that consolidation of a non-debtor "should be reserved for unusual circumstances"); In re Julien Co., 120 B.R. at 935 (noting that the bankruptcy trustee's attempt to consolidate assets of individual contemplated a "broader and more invasive result").
Methodologies for Applying Substantive Consolidation Factors
As the overriding concern guiding the application of the above factors is the equitable treatment of creditors, the central inquiry in evaluating a motion for substantive consolidation is whether the economic prejudice resulting from continued recognition of the entities' separateness outweighs the economic prejudice that would be caused by the entities' consolidation. E.g., Eastgroup, 935 F.2d at 249 (quoting In re Snider Bros., 18 B.R. at 234). Nevertheless, the federal courts h
ave implemented different approaches for assaying the numerous factors discussed above. While our opinion is not limited to the application of any specific methodology, three basic methodologies have emerged. See generally In re Bonham, 226 B.R. at 81-83. They are as follows:
(a) First Methodology.
The first methodology relies on the factors listed above, or some subset thereof', as a means for measuring the equities, benefits, and detriments of consolidation. See, e.g., In re Creditors Sere., 195 B.R. at 690 ("The factors merely provide the framework to assist the Court's inquiry whether harm will result in the absence of consolidation."); In re IJecco Constr., 4 B.R. at 410. According to this view, no one factor is decisive, and not all of the factors favoring consolidation need be present in order for consolidation to be justified. Eg., In re Orfa Corp., 129 B.R. at 415. In situations where some factors favoring consolidation are present to a significant degree, but other critical factors are absent or are in conflict, a court nonetheless may conclude that substantive consolidation is sufficiently beneficial to be
appropriate. Ibid. Courts following this approach, however, generally place the burden on the proponent of consolidation of proving that the benefits from consolidation outweigh any resulting prejudice. E.g., In re Crown Mach., 100 S.R. at 27 (citing Matter of Steuiy, 94 B.R. 553, 554 (Bankr. N.D. Ind. 1988)); In re Snider Bros., 18 B.R. at 238.
Bear Stearns Commercial Mortgage, Inc.
Page 15
(b) Second Methodology.
The United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit has articulated a similar, but not identical, methodology that has gained acceptance in a number of courts. This standard treats the relevant factors outlined above as mere variants of two critical criteria: (i) whether creditors dealt with the entities sought to be consolidated as a single economic unit and did not rely on their separate identity in extending credit, and (ii) whether the affairs of the entities sought to be consolidated are so entangled that consolidation will benefit all creditors because segregating the entities' respective affairs is impossible or so costly as to threaten the realization of any net assets for creditors. In re Augie/Restivo, 860 F.2d at 518-19; see also Colonial Realty, 966 F.2d at 61 (affirming the Augie/Restivo standard). If the proponent of consolidation establishes that either of these criteria is satisfied, consolidation may be granted. In re Standard Brands, 154 B.R. at 569. See also In re Bonham, 226 B.R. at 97. More recently, in In re Owens Corning, 419 F.3d 195 (3d Cir. 2005), the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit articulated the following five principles in determining whether to order consolidation:
(I) Limiting the cross-creep of liability by respecting entity separateness is a `fundamental ground [ ].' As a result, the general expectation of state law and of the Bankruptcy Code, and thus of commercial markets, is that courts respect entity separateness absent compelling circumstances calling equity (and even then only possibly substantive consolidation) into play.
(2) The harms substanstive consolidation addresses are nearly always those caused by debtors (and entities they control) who disregard separateness. Harms caused by creditors typically are remedied by provisions found in the Bankruptcy Code (e.g., fraudulent transfers 548 and 544(b)(1), and equitable subordination, § 510(c)).
(3) Mere benefit to the administration of the case (for example, allowing a court to simplify a case by avoiding other issues or to make postpetition accounting more convenient) is hardly a harm calling substantive consolidation into play.
(4) Indeed, because substanitve consolidation is extreme (it may affect profoundly creditors' rights and recoveries) and imprecise, this 'rough justice' remedy should be rare and, in any event, one of the last resort after considering and rejecting other remedies (for example, the possibility of more precise remedies conferred by the Bankruptcy Code).
(5) While substantive consolidation may be used defensively to remedy the identifiable harms caused by entangled affairs, it may not be used offensively (for example, having a primary purpose to disadvantage tatically a group of creditors in the plan or to alter creditor rights).
Id. at 211(citations omitted).

(c) Third Methodology.
The third methodology has been adopted in the Eleventh Circuit, the District of Columbia Circuit and Third Circuit and may constitute the prevailing standard for substantive consolidation in many jurisdictions. This standard allows the proponent of consolidation to establish a prima facie case for consolidation by demonstrating (i) a substantial identity between the entities sought to he consolidated, and (ii) that consolidation is necessary to avoid some harm or to realize some benefit. The proponent of consolidation may rely upon the usual factors relied on in substantive consolidation cases, or some subset thereof, to prove either or both elements of the prima facie case. Upon establishing a prima facie case, the burden shifts to objecting creditors to prove that they reasonably relied on the separate credit of one of the entitie
s sought to be consolidated in extending credit and that they would be prejudiced by consolidation. If a creditor proves reasonable reliance and prejudice, consolidation may be granted only if its benefits "heavily outweigh" its detriments. If such a creditor fails to prove either reasonable reliance or prejudice, however, consolidation may be granted regardless of whether the benefits of consolidation "heavily outweigh" its detriments. E.g., In re New Ctr. Hasp., 187 B.R. at 569 ("Since reliance and prejudice have not been shown, the Court need not reach the issue of whether the benefits of consolidation `heavily' outwe
igh the harm."). See also Eastgroup, 935 F.2d at 249; In re Auto Train, 810 F.2d at 276; In re Ltd Gaming, 228 B.R. at 287; In re Standard Brands, 154 B.R. at 568-69; In re Lewellyn, 26 B.R. 246, 251-252 (Bankr. S.D. Iowa 1982).
Because the disregard of separate corporate existences is not generally favored, there is a presumption against substantive consolidation, and the party seeking it has the burden of establishing the necessity for it. E.g., In re Auto-Train, 810 F.2d at 276. Courts have generally treated substantive consolidation as the exception rather than the rule because of the "possibility of unfair treatment of creditors who have dealt solely with the corporation having a surplus as opposed to those who have dealt with the related entities with deficiencies." In re Con''1 Vending Mach. Corp.,
517 F.2d at 1001; see also Kheel, 369 F.2d at 847 (it should be the "rare case" where substantive consolidation is granted); In re DRW Prop., 54 B.R. at 494 (courts should grant substantive consolidation sparingly because of the possibility of unfair treatment of some creditors). Thus, although "the term [consolidation] has a disarmingly innocent sound, ... [it] is no mere instrument of procedural convenience ... but a measure vitally affecting substantive rights" in equity. In re Flora Mir Candy Corp., 432 F.2d at 1062. Furthermore, because the rules for substa
ntive consolidation are not statutorily provided, courts must examine the facts and circumstances of each ease to determine if such an order is warranted.
The factors weighed by the federal courts in determining whether substantive consolidation is appropriate fall within two general categories. First, courts have evaluated the internal relationships of the affiliated entities to determine whether "there is substantial identity between the entities to be consolidated." Eastgroup, 935 F.2d at 249. Second, courts have evaluated whether "consolidation is necessary to avoid some harm or to realize some benefit" with respect to the creditors of the entities to be consolidated. Id. This second factor relates to whether "creditors dealt with the entities as a single economic unit and did not rely on their separate identity in extending credit." hr re Augie/Restivo, 860 F.2d at 518.
Bear Stearns Commercial Mortgage, Inc.

Substantive Consolidation as Applied Substantial Identity.
In analyzing the pre-bankruptcy interrelationship between the parties with an eye toward their potential substantial identity, many federal courts have articulated an objective list of factors to be applied in substantive consolidation eases. For example, the court in In re Vecco Construction set forth seven factors for determining whether substantive consolidation is appropriate:
1. The commingling of assets and business functions.
|
2.
|
The degree of difficulty in segregating and ascertaining individual assets and liabilities.
|
3. The existence of parent and intercorporate guarantees on loans.
4. The transfer of assets without observance of corporate formalities.
5. The presence or absence of consolidated financial statements.
|
6.
|
The unity of interests and ownership between the various corporate entities.
|
7. The profitability of consolidation at a single physical location.
In re Vecco Constr., 4 B.R. at 410. Accord In re Murray Indus., Inc., 119 B.R. at 830; In re Mortgage Irrv. Co., 1 l 1 B.R. 604, 610 (Bankr. W.D. Tex. 1990). See also Fish, 114 F.2d at 191 (setting forth a list of ten substantially similar factors). It must be stressed, however, that the factors set forth in In re Vecco Construction, along with additional factors formulated in other cases, are merely "examples of information that may be useful to courts charged with deciding whether there is a substantial identity between the entities to he consolidated and whether consolidation is necessary to avoid some harm or to realize some benefit." Eastgroup, 935 F.2d at 250. Therefore, although a proponent of consolidation may want to frame his argument using the seven factors outlined in In re Vecco Construction, the existence or absence of any number of those factors is not necessarily determinative. Eastgroup, 935 F.2d at 249.
Benefit or harm to creditors.
In considering whether or not to impose substantive consolidation, courts have also weighed the potential harm or benefit to creditors. The United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit has stated that the "sole purpose of substantive consolidation is to ensure the equitable treatment of all creditors," In re Augie/Restivo, 860 F.2d at 518, and that the Vecco Construction factors are "merely variants on two critical factors: (i) whether creditors dealt with the entities as a single economic unit and `did not rely on thei
r separate identity in extending credit,' . . . or (ii) whether the affairs of the debtors are so entangled that consolidation will benefit all creditors." In re Augie/Restivo, 860 F.2d at 518. Where creditors rely on the separate existence of corporate entities in extending credit, or would suffer more than minimal harm from disregarding such separate existence, the balance of equities weighs against substantive consolidation. In re Donut Queen, 41 B.R. at 710, The United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit, like the Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, has stressed creditor reliance and prejudice as the key factors in any consolidation analysis: if a party opposing substantive consolidation establishes that "(1) it has relied on the separate credit of one of the entities to be consolidated; and (2) it will be prejudiced by substantive consolidation," then substantive consolidation may be ordered only if the "demonstrated benefits of consolidation `heavily' outweigh the harm." Eastgroup, 935 F.2d at 249 (citing In re Auto-Train, 810 F.2d at 276). Courts have relied upon the existence of such prejudice as grounds for denying substantive consolidation. In re Ai.1gie/Restivo, 860 F.2d 515; In re Auto-Train, 810 F.2d at 277-78; In re Flora Mir Candy, 432 F.2d at 1062-63; Anaconda Bldg. Materials Co. v. Newland, 336 F.2d 625, 628 (9th Cir. 1964).3

Some courts have considered whether substantive consolidation increases the likelihood of the debtor's rehabilitation and reorganization. Factors considered include the potential savings in cost and time, the elimination of duplicate claims, and whether there is a question who among potentially consolidated parties is liable. Cont 'I Vending, 517 F.2d at 1001.4 Eliminating the need to disentangle assets, however, does not, without more, justify consolidation. "[S]ubstantive consolidation should be used only after it has been determined that
all creditors will benefit because untangling is either impossible or so costly as to consume the assets." In re Augie/Restivo, 860 F.2d at 519.
IV. ANALYSIS
Based on the representations, warranties, assumptions, and covenants relied upon for purposes of this opinion as specified in Section II above, the accuracy in all respects material to Borrower's separateness of such representations and warranties and the compliance in all respects material to Borrower's separateness, with such covenants we have assumed for purposes of this opinion, we believe it would be difficult for a creditor or other party in interest (a) to establish a prima facie case for Substantive Consolidation, (b) to prove that Borrower is so entangled with any Relevant Entity as to cause any difficulty in segregating their respective assets and liabilities, or (c) to establish that any of such parties has been organized or used for any illicit or illegal purpose, or for the purpose of working any injustice upon their creditors.
More specifically, none of the seven factors recited in In re Vecco Construction, 4 B.R. at 410, would militate in favor of substantial identity behveen the Borrower and any Relevant Entity,
Conversely, courts have also rioted the absence of objecting parties as a factor favoring consolidation. Standard Brands, 154 B.R at 571-572 (inferring lack of harm to creditors from lack of objection to consolidation); In re Buckhead Am.Corp., No. 91-978, 1992 Bankr. LliXIS 2506 (order granting substantive consolidation of a special-purpose subsidiary with its parent after all objections from the subsidiary's creditors had been resolved through settlement): In re Drexel Burnham Lambert, 138 B.R. at 766 (citing lack of objections from creditors in approving a plan of reorganization premised on substantive consolidation); In re Frontier Airlines, inc.. 9)3 B.R. at 1016 (granting substantive consolidation where "complete financial separation of the entities would he difficult to accomplish" and Into party in interest" had objected). Accordingly, we express no opinion as to whether a bankruptcy court would order substantive consolidation should none of the parties to these transactions object to consolidation.
4 See also In re Drexel Ilarnhanr Lambert, 138 B.R. at 766 (approving a plan of reorganization premised on substantive consolidation where no creditors had objected and where establishing to whom actual liability, if any, should he allocated would be a "[H]erculean task consurning years oleostly professional services, thereby draining signiticnlt amounts of value from the Deblors' estates ").

given such representations, warranties, and covenants set forth above with respect to the Loan Documents, the Organizational Documents, and the Certificate. We note that Acadia Startegic has, pursuant to that certain Environmental Indemnity Agreement, agreed to indemnify Lender for any Losses (as defined therein) incurred by Lender as a result of certain environmental conditions with respect to the Property, as set forth therein (the "Environmental Indemnity"); and the Guarantor has, pursuant to that certain Guaranty Agreement, indemnified Lender for certain "bad boy" acts as set forth therein (the `"Non-Recourse Guaranty", and together with the Environmental Indemnity, and the Non-Recourse Guaranty, collectively referred to
herein as the "Guaranty"), implicating Vecco 's guaranty factor. However, this factor should not be sipificant with respect to the Environmental Indemnity and Non-Recourse Guaranty, given that the applicable Guarantor's obligations pursuant to said Environmental Indemnity and Non-Recourse Guaranty are limited in scope in the following manner: (a) the Environmental Indemnity extends only to liability of the Lender as a result of the presence of Hazardous Substances on the Property or the release of Hazardous Substances (each as defined therein); (b) the Non-Recourse Guaranty extends only to what we believe to be customary liability for such matters as fraud, intentional misrepresentation, misapplication or conversion of security deposits, insurance proceeds, condemnation awards and other "bad boy acts", as specifically set forth in the Non-Recourse Gua
ranty. Further, given Lender's reasonable reliance upon Borrower's identity as a legal entity separate from all Relevant Entities. Lender has relied upon Borrower's assets as separate from the Relevant Entities in making the Loan. Lender's reasonable reliance upon the Borrower's separateness from the Relevant Entities militates strongly against Substantive Consolidation. See In re Cent. European Indus. Del,. Co., 288 B.R. 572 (Bankr. N.D. Cal. 2003); see also In re Owens Corning 419 F.3d 195 (3d Cir. 2005).
Further, with respect to the Guaranty, we note that the presence or absence of potential liability of Guarantor pursuant to the Guaranty is one factor in evaluating whether a bankruptcy court would order substantive consolidation of the assets and liabilities of the Borrower with those of Guarantor or with those of any other Relevant Entity. The presence of this potential liability might be found to blur the separate identity of the subject entities and to indicate that in making the Loan the Lender relied on the combined assets of Borrower and its affiliated entities, but would not in it of itself, in our opinion, cause the Bankruptcy Court to consolidate.
We fully recognize that Substantive Consolidation can potentially benefit unsecured and undersecured creditors of a Relevant Entity by rendering such creditors' claims payable pan prism with those of Borrower's unsecured or undersecured creditors out of any net equity in the Property or other assets of Borrower. Such benefit is offset, however, by the inequitable prejudice such substantive consolidation would work upon Borrower's unsecured and undersecured creditors, if any, whose ability to recover upon Borrower's obligations would be diluted by the availability of the net equity in the Property or other assets of Borrower to unsecured and undersecured creditors of such Relevant Entity.
With respect to potential harm to the Lender or other holder of the Loan from a Substantive Consolidation, we acknowledge that bankruptcy courts have ordered substantive consolidation over the objection of a fully-secured creditor on the ground that such a creditor is not harmed by substantive consolidation. See In re F.A. Potts, 23 B.R. at 573; see also In re
Bear Stearns Commercial Mortgage, Inc.
Page 20
Mortgage Inv. Co., 111 B.R. 601, 610 (Bankr. W.D. Tex. 1990) (overruling secured creditor's objection to reorganization plan calling for substantive consolidation of affiliates where secured creditor was receiving "indubitable equivalent" of its secured claim). However, the facts of those bankruptcy cases, and the legal conclusions flowing from the facts of those cases, are materially distinguishable from the facts and legal principles that underlie the Loan. Contrary to the assumptions set forth in Section II above and the Certificate with respect to Borrowers' separateness, upon which we rely, the entities in In re F
.A. Potts had always closely interrelated their financial affairs, had engaged in inter-entity loans, and had formed "essentially one operation." In re F.A. Potts, 23 B.R. at 573. The entities in In re Mortgage Investment had unitary ownership, had commingled assets and business functions, and had transferred assets among themselves without observing corporate formalities. In re Mortgage Ijiv., 111 B.R. at 610. As we assume, to the extent set forth above, that Borrower will comply with the Loan Documents and Borrower's LLC Agreement regarding compliance by it with respect to the separateness of Borrower, and as the separateness covenants contained therein forbid the abovementioned conduct committed by the entities in In re P.A. Potts and in In re Mortgage Investment, Substantive Consolidation should not occur nor be countenanced under the holdings of In reF.A. Potts or In re Mortgage Investment.
Though Lender is secured, it would foreseeably be harmed by Substantive Consolidation of Borrower with a Relevant Entity. In such event, the various assets of Borrower would be pooled with the assets of the Relevant Entity to form a unitary bankruptcy estate from which allowed claims of creditors and allowed interests of equity security interest holders would receive distributions (if and to the extent the estate contains assets) in accordance with the distributional and priority schemes in the Bankruptcy Code. In such event, the Lender also would likely be enjoined from foreclosing upon its Security Instrument on the Property by the automatic stay provisions of Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code, and would then have to meet the standard enunciated in Section 362(d) of the Bankruptcy Code, and thereby obtain relief from the automatic
stay, in order to foreclose upon its Security Instrument on the Property.
There can be no assurance that the Loan will be deemed fully secured as of the date of Borrower's bankruptcy, if any, or a proceeding for Substantive Consolidation. If the Loan is undersecured, by definition no equity exists in the Lender's collateral of the Borrower for the Loan. This may eliminate the incentive for creditors to seek the substantive consolidation of Borrower with any Relevant Entity, as Borrower would have no assets that are not collateral for the Loan and that remain after satisfaction of the Lender's security interest to which unsecured creditors may look for satisfaction of their own claims.
The Loan is a non-recourse obligation of Borrower except to the extent of the Recourse Obligations specifically set forth in the Loan Documents, which we believe to be customary recourse carve-outs for loss suffered by Lender as a result of "bad acts". No Relevant Entity has any liability for repayment of the Loan, except pursuant to the Guaranty, as discussed above. Accordingly, all in all, it appears that Lender relied, among other things, primarily upon the creditworthiness of Borrower and the value of the Property in making the Loan. Moreover, we conclude that Lender would not have made the Loan on the same favorable terms if Borrower were not organized as a single purpose entity for the
Bear Stearns Commercial Mortgage, Inc.
Page 21
express purpose of insulating its assets from liabilities external to the Property. Thus, it is clear that Substantive Consolidation, with its attendant imposition on Borrower of liabilities external to the Property, would frustrate one of the primary considerations of Lender in making the Loan.
Finally, it should be noted that if Borrower is not a debtor under the Bankruptcy Code at the time substantive consolidation is sought, a bankruptcy court likely would impose a significantly higher standard for its substantive consolidation. The eases in which courts have permitted the substantive consolidation of a non-debtor have been characterized either by fraud, see, e.g., Sainpsell, 313 U.S. 215, or by an egregious disregard for corporate formalities,extensive commingling of assets, and a complete failure to maintain separate books and records, rendering the segregation of the entities' respective assets and liabilities virtually impossible. See, e.g., <
font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-STYLE: italic">Soviero, 328 F.2d 446; Tureaud, 45 B.R. 658. Inasmuch as the assumptions above, with respect to the separateness covenants of Borrower, forbid such activities, it is even more unlikely that a bankruptcy court would order Substantive Consolidation when Borrower is not itself a debtor under the Bankruptcy Code. See In re Lease-A-Fleet, 141 B.R. at 877 (noting that common ownership, overlapping as opposed to identical directorships, common use of space, and the existence of a "substantial yet informal" debtor-creditor relationship as opposed to an interm
ingling of assets are "patently insufficient" to establish the degree of entanglement necessary to render substantive consolidation of a non-debtor an appropriate remedy). Our opinion, however, is not affected by whether the Borrower is itself a debtor under the Bankruptcy Code.
V. OPINION
Based on the foregoing and subject to the qualifications and assumptions set forth in this opinion, it is our opinion that in the event that any one or more of the Relevant Entities were to be a debtor or a debtor acting as a debtor-in-possession in a case under the Bankruptcy Code, under present reported decisional authority and statutes applicable to federal bankruptcy cases, in a properly presented and competently argued case, a United States Bankruptcy Court or other United States court exercising jurisdiction of such case under the Bankruptcy Code would not, in the proper exercise of its equitable discretion, disregard the separate existence of the Borrower so as to order substantive consolidation of the assets and liabilities of Borrower with the assets and liabilities of such Relevant Entity or Relevant Entities and treat such
assets and liabilities as though Borrower and such Relevant Entities were one entity, regardless of whether Borrower was also a debtor under the Bankruptcy Code.
VI. QUALIFICATIONS
We note that a bankruptcy court, as a court of equity, has the express power to issue any order or process necessary to carry out the purposes and provisions of the Bankruptcy Code. Substantive consolidation analysis requires an extremely fact-intensive inquiry, and so substantive consolidation eases are largely srri generis. Accordingly, it is difficult to ascertain a consistent factual pattern upon which legal precedent of general applicability may be based. The foregoing opinion, therefore, necessarily is based upon a reasoned analysis of cases decided by courts under the laws of various jurisdictions, which cases would not necessarily
Bear Stearns Commercial Mortgage, Inc.
Page 22
be controlling in all jurisdictions.
The opinion expressed herein does not constitute an empirical prediction as to the actual result or holding in any particular litigation, but is, rather, our considered legal judgment as to the proper application of legal and equitable principles applicable in bankruptcy cases to the facts set forth herein and relied upon for purposes of this opinion. We note that legal opinions on bankruptcy law matters unavoidably have inherent limitations that generally do not exist in respect of other legal issues on which opinions to third parties typically are given. These inherent limitations exist primarily because of the pervasive equity powers of bankruptcy courts, the overriding goal of reorganization to which other legal rights and policies may be subjugated, the potential relevance to the exercise of judicial discretion of future-arising
facts and circumstances, and the nature of the bankruptcy process. These limitations should be taken into account in analyzing the bankruptcy-related risks associated with the Loan.
We do not purport to express an opinion on any laws other than the laws of the United States of America under the Bankruptcy Code (including reported decisions thereunder) in effect as of the date this opinion is given. This opinion is given only on the date hereof, and we assume no obligation to inform you of changes in the facts or law bearing on this opinion even if such changes are brought to our attention.
The opinion expressed herein is given only for the benefit of, and may be relied upon by, Lender, its successors and assigns (including, without limitation, any assignee of Lender's interest in the Loan and any participant of Lender's interest in the Loan), Lender's counsel in connection with the Loan, any servicer of the Loan, any purchaser of the Loan or any portion thereof in any securitization, any rating agency which rates any securities in connection with the Loan, the issuer of securities in a securitization of the Loan, and any trustee, servicer or special servicer appointed in connection with a securitization of the Loan, solely in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents, and may not ,be relied upon by any other party or for any other pumose
