amount of each such Latham & Watkins Imputed Rent Advance

the account of Borrower in partial payment of the interest due
and payable under the Notes on the Monthly Payment Date on
which such amount is advanced. Note B-2

the Latham & Watkins Commencement Date.
(b)

Advance Amount on or before the Latham & Watkins

Watkins has unconditionally accepted all premises demised

Watkins exists thereunder, and otherwise in form and substance

Borrower does not satisfy the above conditions on the first
Monthly Payment Date immediately following the Latham &
Watkins Commencement Date, such advance may occur on the first
Monthly Payment Date thereafter upon which the above
conditions are satisfied, so long as such conditions are
satisfied on or before the Outside Future Advance
Date. If Borrower has not drawn the full amount of
the
30
Maximum
Latham & Watkins Imputed Rent Advance Amount on or before
the Outside Future Advance Date, Note B-2 Lender’s
commitment to advance the then unfunded portion of the Maximum
Latham & Watkins Imputed Rent Advance Amount shall be of

Separate Contract for Advances
. Note B-2 Lender’s obligations to perform in
accordance with Sections 2.1.7 and 2.1.8 of this Loan
Agreement and to make any Future Advance in accordance with the
terms and provisions of this Agreement are an independent contract
made by Note B-2 Lender to Borrower separate and apart from any
other obligation of any other Lender to Borrower under the other
provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents. The obligations of Borrower under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be reduced,
discharged or released because or by reason of any existing or
future offset, claim or defense of Borrower, or any other party,
against Note B-2 Lender by reason of Note B-2 Lender’s
failure to perform its obligations under Section 2.1.7 or
2.1.8 . Borrower acknowledges that Lender has the
right, as Lender determines in its sole discretion, to include Note
A (or any portion thereof) and Note B (or any portion thereof) in
separate sales or Secondary Market Transaction(s) undertaken by
Lender and in connection with such sale(s) or Secondary Market
Transaction(s) all of the terms and provisions contained in this
Agreement and the Loan Documents shall continue in full force and
effect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, the holders of Note A and Note B-1 shall have no
obligation hereunder to make any Future Advance, it being
acknowledged that the obligation to make any Future Advance shall
solely be the obligation of the holder of Note
B-2. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that
Note B-2 is severed into two or more separate notes, the obligation
to make any Future Advance shall be the several obligation of each
holder of such severed Note B-2, in proportion to the respective
commitment amounts of such holders, and the holder of any severed
portion of Note B-2 shall have no obligation hereunder to make any
Future Advance other than in the aggregate amount of such
holder’s unfunded commitment amount and in accordance with
such holder’s respective proportional share of the amount of
each Future Advance. No claim may be made by Borrower
against the holder of any Note or the directors, officers,
employees, attorneys or agents of the holder of any Note for any
damages of any nature whatsoever in respect of any claim whatsoever
for breach by any Note B-2 Lender of its obligations to make a
Future Advance in accordance with the terms hereof (except for a
claim made exclusively against such breaching Note B-2 Lender), and
Borrower hereby waives, releases and agrees not to sue the holder
of any Note (except for such breaching Note B-2 Lender) upon any
claim for any such damages. All Future Advances shall be
evidenced by Note B-2. Subject to the foregoing, any
obligations and rights relating to Future Advances pursuant to
Sections 2.1.7 , 2.1.8 and this
Section 2.1.9 shall be the sole obligations and rights of
the holder of Note B-2, and any reference to Lender in this
Section 2.1.9 relating to any Future Advance shall be deemed
to mean the holder of Note B-2.

balance of the Loan shall accrue from the Closing Date to and

(that is, the Applicable Interest Rate or the Default Rate, as then
applicable, expressed as an annual rate divided by 360) by
(c) the outstanding principal balance.
2.2.3

change in the rate of interest hereunder due to a change in
the Applicable Interest Rate shall become effective as of the
first day of the new Interest Period. Each

be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest
error.
(b) In
the event that Lender shall have reasonably determined (which
determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower
absent manifest error) that by reason of circumstances
affecting the interbank eurodollar market, adequate and
reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR, then
Lender shall, by notice to Borrower (“
Lender’s Notice ”), which
notice shall set forth in reasonable detail such
circumstances, establish the Applicable Interest Rate for the
respective portions of the Loan evidenced by each of the Notes
at the then customary spread (the “
Substitute Spread ”), taking
into account the size and respective priorities of the
portions of the Loan evidenced by the Note and the
creditworthiness of Borrower, above a published index used for
variable rate loans as reasonably determined by Lender (the
“ Substitute Rate
”).
(c) If,
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Loan has been
converted to a Substitute Rate Loan and Lender shall determine
(which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon
Borrower absent manifest error) that the event(s) or
circumstance(s) which resulted in such conversion shall no
longer be applicable, Lender shall give notice thereof to
Borrower, and the Substitute Rate Loan shall automatically
convert to a LIBOR Loan on the first day of the Interest
Period next following the effective date set forth in such
notice. Notwithstanding any provision of this
Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall Borrower have the
right to elect to convert a LIBOR Loan to a Substitute Rate
Loan.
(d) With
respect to a LIBOR Loan, all payments made by Borrower
hereunder shall be made free and clear of, and without
reduction for or on account of, income, stamp or other taxes,
levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions, reserves
or withholdings imposed, levied, collected, withheld or
assessed by any Governmental Authority, which are imposed,
enacted or become effective after the date hereof (such
non-excluded taxes being referred to collectively as “
Foreign Taxes ”), excluding
income and franchise taxes of the United States of America or
any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or
therein (including
32
Puerto
Rico). If any Foreign Taxes are required to be
withheld from any amounts payable to Lender hereunder, the
amounts so payable to Lender shall be increased to the extent
necessary to yield to Lender (after payment of all Foreign
Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at
the rate or in the amounts specified
hereunder. Whenever any Foreign Tax is payable
pursuant to applicable law by Borrower, as promptly as
possible thereafter, Borrower shall send to Lender an original
official receipt, if available, or certified copy thereof
showing payment of such Foreign Tax. Borrower
hereby indemnifies Lender for any incremental taxes, interest
or penalties that may become payable by Lender which may
result from any failure by Borrower to pay any such Foreign
Tax when due to the appropriate taxing authority or any
failure by Borrower to remit to Lender the required receipts
or other required documentary evidence. If any
Lender, other than a REMIC Trust, requests compensation
pursuant to this Section 2.2.3(d) (any such Lender,
other than a REMIC Trust, requesting such compensation, or
whose obligations are so suspended, being herein called a
“ Requesting Lender ”),
Borrower, upon three (3) Business Days’ notice, may
require that such Requesting Lender transfer all of its right,
title and interest under this Agreement and such Requesting
Lender’s Note to an Eligible Assignee (a “
Proposed Lender ”) identified by
Borrower that is satisfactory to the Note B Designated
Representative, (i) if such Proposed Lender agrees
to assume all of the obligations of such Requesting Lender
hereunder in accordance with Section 11.27 , and to
purchase all of such Requesting Lender’s Loans hereunder
for consideration equal to the aggregate outstanding principal
amount of such Requesting Lender’s Loans, together with
interest thereon to the date of such purchase (to the extent
not paid by Borrower), and satisfactory arrangements are made
for payment to such Requesting Lender of all other amounts
accrued and payable hereunder to such Requesting Lender as of
the date of such transfer (including any fees accrued
hereunder as if all of such Requesting Lender’s Loans
were being prepaid in full on such date) and (ii) if such
Requesting Lender has requested compensation pursuant to this
Section 2.2.3(d) , such Proposed Lender’s
aggregate requested compensation, if any, pursuant to this
Section 2.2.3(d) with respect to such Requesting
Lender’s Loans is lower than that of the Requesting
Lender. Upon the assignment and assumption of such
Requesting Lender’s interest pursuant to the provisions
of Section 11.27 , such Proposed Lender shall be a
“ Lender ” for all purposes
hereunder. Without prejudice to the survival of any
other agreement of Borrower hereunder, the agreements of
Borrower contained in this Section 2.2.3(d) and any
other provisions of this Agreement with respect to payment of
expenses (without duplication of any payments made to such
Requesting Lender by Borrower or the Proposed Lender) shall
survive for the benefit of such Requesting Lender under this
Section 2.2.3(d) with respect to the time prior to such
replacement.
(e) If
any requirement of law or any change therein or in the
interpretation or application thereof, shall hereafter make it
unlawful for Lender to make or maintain a LIBOR Loan as
contemplated hereunder, (i) the obligation of Lender
hereunder to make a LIBOR Loan shall be cancelled forthwith
and (ii) Lender may give Borrower a Lender’s
Notice, establishing the Applicable Interest Rate at the
Substitute Rate plus the Substitute Spread, in which case the
Applicable Interest Rate shall be a rate equal to the
Substitute Rate in effect from time to time plus the
Substitute Spread. In the event the condition
necessitating the cancellation of Lender’s obligation to
make a LIBOR Loan hereunder shall cease, Lender shall promptly
notify Borrower of such cessation and the Loan shall resume
its characteristics as a LIBOR Loan in accordance with the
terms herein from and after the first day of the calendar
month next following such cessation. Borrower
hereby agrees promptly to pay Lender, upon demand, any
additional amounts necessary to compensate Lender for any
out-of-pocket costs
33
reasonably
incurred by Lender in making any conversion in accordance with
this Agreement, including, without limitation, any interest or
fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in
order to make or maintain the LIBOR Loan
hereunder. Lender’s notice of such costs, as
certified to Borrower, shall be set forth in reasonable detail
and Lender’s calculation shall be conclusive absent
manifest error.
(f) In
the event that any change in any requirement of law or in the
interpretation or application thereof, or compliance by Lender
with any request or directive (whether or not having the force
of law) hereafter issued from any central bank or other
Governmental Authority:
(i) shall
hereafter have the effect of reducing the rate of return on
Lender’s capital as a consequence of its obligations
hereunder to a level below that which Lender could have
achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking
into consideration Lender’s policies with respect to
capital adequacy) by any amount deemed by Lender to be
material;
(ii) shall
hereafter impose, modify, increase or hold applicable any
reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar
requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other
liabilities in or for the account of, advances or loans by, or
other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds
by, any office of Lender which is not otherwise included in
the determination of the rate hereunder; or
(iii) shall
hereafter impose on Lender any other condition and the result
of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Lender of
making, renewing or maintaining loans or extensions of credit
or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder;
then,
in any such case, Borrower shall promptly pay Lender, upon
demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate Lender
for such additional cost or reduced amount receivable which
Lender deems to be material as reasonably determined by
Lender. If Lender becomes entitled to claim any
additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.2.3(f) ,
Borrower shall not be required to pay same unless they are the
result of requirements imposed generally on lenders as foreign
banks or trustee in a Securitization similar to Lender and not
the result of some specific reserve or similar requirement
imposed on Lender as a result of Lender’s special
circumstances. If Lender becomes entitled to claim
any additional amounts pursuant to this
Section 2.2.3(f) , Lender shall provide Borrower
with not less than thirty (30) days written notice specifying
in reasonable detail the event by reason of which it has
become so entitled and the additional amounts required to
fully compensate Lender for such additional costs or reduced
amounts. A certificate as to any additional costs
or amounts payable pursuant to the foregoing sentence,
executed by an authorized signatory of Lender and submitted by
Lender to Borrower shall be conclusive in the absence of
manifest error. This provision shall survive
payment of the Notes and the satisfaction of all other
obligations of Borrower under this Agreement and the Loan
Documents.
(g) Borrower
agrees to indemnify Lender and to hold Lender harmless from
any loss or expense (other than consequential and punitive
damages) which Lender sustains or incurs as a consequence of
(i) any default by Borrower in payment of the principal
of or
34
interest
on a LIBOR Loan, including, without limitation, any such loss
or expense arising from interest or fees payable by Lender to
lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain a LIBOR
Loan hereunder, (ii) any prepayment (whether voluntary or
mandatory) of the LIBOR Loan on a day that (A) is not the
Monthly Payment Date immediately following the last day of an
Interest Period with respect thereto or (B) is the
Monthly Payment Date immediately following the last day of an
Interest Period with respect thereto if Borrower did not give
the prior written notice of such prepayment required pursuant
to the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation,
such loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by
Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain
the LIBOR Loan hereunder, (iii) the conversion (for any
reason whatsoever, whether voluntary or involuntary) of the
Applicable Interest Rate to the Substitute Rate plus the
Substitute Spread with respect to any portion of the
outstanding principal amount of the Loan then bearing interest
at a rate other than the Substitute Rate plus the Substitute
Spread on a date other than the Monthly Payment Date
immediately following the last day of an Interest Period,
including, without limitation, such loss or expenses arising
from interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds
obtained by it in order to maintain a LIBOR Loan hereunder or
(iv) any failure of Borrower to borrower a Future Advance on
the date specified in the relevant Advance Request (the
amounts referred to in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) are
herein referred to collectively as the “
Breakage Costs
”). Without limiting the effect of the
preceding sentence, such compensation shall include an amount
equal to the excess, if any, of (I) the amount of
interest that otherwise would have accrued on the principal
amount not so paid, or so prepaid or converted, or not so
borrowed for the period from the date of such required
payment, prepayment, or conversion or failure to borrow to the
last day of the then current Interest Period for such
principal amount (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, the
Interest Period for such Future Advance that would have
commenced on the date specified for such borrowing) at the
applicable rate of interest for such LIBOR Loan or Future
Advance provided for herein over (II) the amount of
interest that otherwise would have accrued on such principal
amount at a rate per annum equal to the interest component of
the amount such Lender would have bid in the London interbank
market for Dollar deposits of leading banks in amounts
comparable to such principal amount and with maturities
comparable to such period (as reasonably determined by such
Lender), or if such Lender shall cease to make such bids, the
equivalent rate, as reasonably determined by such Lender,
derived from Page 3750 of the Dow Jones Markets
(Telerate) Service or other publicly available source as
described in the definition of LIBOR.
(h) The
provisions of this Section 2.2.3 shall survive payment
of the Notes in full and the satisfaction of all other
obligations of Borrower under this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents.
2.2.4
Usury Savings . This Agreement
and the other Loan Documents are subject to the express condition
that at no time shall Borrower be required to pay interest on the
principal balance of the Loan at a rate which could subject Lender
to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in
excess of the Maximum Legal Rate. If by the terms of
this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Borrower is at any time
required or obligated to pay interest on the principal balance due
hereunder at a rate in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate, the
Applicable Interest Rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be,
shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to the Maximum Legal Rate
and all previous payments in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate shall
be deemed to have been payments in reduction of principal and not
35
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 from time to time in effect and applicable to the
Loan for so long as the Loan is outstanding.
Section 2.3.
Loan Payments .
2.3.1
Payment Before Maturity Date
. Monthly installments of interest only shall be paid on
each Monthly Payment Date commencing on November 9, 2007 and on
each subsequent Monthly Payment Date thereafter to the Maturity
Date for the Interest Period immediately prior to the date on which
such Monthly Payment Date or Maturity Date
occurs. Interest on the outstanding principal amount of
the Loan for the period through and including October 8, 2007 shall
be paid by Borrower on the Closing Date.
2.3.2
Payment on Maturity Date .
(a) The
outstanding principal balance of the Loan together with all
accrued and unpaid interest thereon (including, without
limitation, all interest that would accrue on the outstanding
principal balance of the Loan through the end of the Interest
Period immediately prior to the date on which the Maturity
Date occurs) and all other amounts outstanding hereunder and
under the Notes, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents
shall be due and payable, and Borrower shall pay all such sums
to Lender, on the Maturity Date.
(b) Borrower
shall not have any option to extend the Maturity Date of the
Loan.
2.3.3
Interest Rate and Payment after Default
. 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 shall accrue interest at the Default
Rate, calculated from the date the Default occurred which led to
such an Event of Default without regard to any grace or cure
periods contained herein. If all or any part of the
principal amount of the Loan is repaid upon acceleration of the
Loan following the occurrence of an Event of Default prior to the
Permitted Prepayment Date, Borrower shall be required to pay to
Lender, in addition to all other amounts then payable hereunder, a
prepayment fee equal to one percent (1%) of the amount of principal
being repaid together with a Spread Maintenance Premium calculated
with respect to the amount of principal being repaid and Breakage
Costs.
2.3.4
Late Payment Charge . If any
principal, interest or any other sum due under the Loan Documents,
other than the payment of principal due on the Maturity Date, is
not paid by Borrower on the date on which it is due, Borrower shall
pay to Lender upon demand an amount equal to the lesser of
(a) five percent (5%) of such unpaid sum or (b) the maximum
amount permitted by applicable law 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.
36
(a) Except
as otherwise provided herein, all payments and prepayments
under this Agreement and the Notes shall be made to Lender not
later than 1:00 P.M., New York City time, on the date when due
and shall be made in lawful money of the United States of
America in immediately available funds at Lender’s
office at 1114 Avenue of the Americas, 29th Floor, New York,
New York 10036, or at such other place as Lender may from time
to time designate in writing, 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.
(b) Whenever
any payment to be made hereunder or under any other Loan
Document shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a
Business Day, the due date thereof shall be the immediately
preceding Business Day.
(c) All
payments required to be made by Borrower hereunder or under
the Notes or the other Loan Documents shall be made
irrespective of, and without deduction for, any setoff, claim
or counterclaim and shall be made irrespective of any defense
thereto.
2.3.6
Change in Payment Date . Prior to a
Securitization, Lender may in its sole discretion, by notice to
Borrower, change the day of the month that will constitute the
Monthly Payment Date, as set forth in the definition of “
Monthly Payment Date. ”
Section 2.4.
Prepayments .
2.4.1
Voluntary Prepayments . Except
as otherwise provided herein, Borrower shall not have the right to
prepay the Loan in whole or in part. On and after the
Permitted Prepayment Date Borrower may, at its option and upon at
least ten (10) Business Days (or such shorter period as permitted
by Lender in its discretion) prior notice to Lender (which notice
shall be irrevocable) specifying the date on which such prepayment
is to be made (the “ Prepayment Date
”), prepay the Debt in whole or not in part (but if
prepayment is made in part, such prepayment shall be in increments
of $1,000,000); provided , however , that no
prepayment shall be permitted on any date during the period
commencing on the first calendar day immediately following a
Monthly Payment Date to, but not including, the Determination Date
in such calendar month (the “ Lockout
Period ”), unless consented to by Lender in its
sole discretion. Borrower shall pay to Lender,
simultaneously with such prepayment:
(a) if
such prepayment is made on a Monthly Payment Date, all accrued
and unpaid interest calculated at the Applicable Interest Rate
on the amount of principal being prepaid through and including
the end of the Interest Period immediately prior to the date
on which such prepayment occurs;
(b) if
such prepayment is made on a day other than a Monthly Payment
Date (subject to the Lockout Period), all accrued and unpaid
interest calculated at the Applicable Interest Rate on the
amount of principal being prepaid through and including the
end of the Interest Period immediately prior to the date on
which such prepayment occurs; provided, however, that if the
Prepayment Date is a date on or after the Determination Date
in such calendar month and prior to the first day of the
Interest Period that commences in such calendar month,
Borrower shall also pay to Lender in connection with such
prepayment all interest on the
37
principal
amount being prepaid which would have accrued through the end
of the next succeeding Interest Period (the “
Interest Shortfall
”). Any prepayment received by Lender on a
date other than a Monthly Payment Date shall be held by Lender
as collateral security for the Loan and shall be applied to
the Debt on the next Monthly Payment Date;
(c) Breakage
Costs, if any, without duplication of any sums paid pursuant
to the preceding clauses (a) and (b); and
(d) [reserved]
(e) all
other sums then due under this Agreement, the Notes or the
other Loan Documents.
If
a notice of prepayment is given by Borrower to Lender pursuant
to this Section 2.4.1 , the amount designated for
prepayment and all other sums required under this Section
2.4.1 shall be due and payable on the Prepayment
Date. If Borrower prepays the Loan in full, the
obligation of the Note B-2 Lender to make any Future Advance
shall be of no further force or
effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) Borrower
shall have the right (in each case by notice to the Lender not
later than five (5) Business Days prior to the scheduled date
of prepayment) to postpone the date of prepayment specified in
its prepayment notice on one or more occasions for an
aggregate of up to ninety (90) days for all postponements, and
(b) no more than two (2) times during the term of the Loan,
Borrower shall have the right (in each case by notice to the
Lender not later than five (5) Business Days prior to
the scheduled date of prepayment) to revoke its
notice of its intention to prepay.
2.4.2
Mandatory Prepayments . On the
next occurring Monthly Payment Date following the date on which
Borrower actually receives any Net Proceeds, if and to the extent
Lender is not obligated to make such Net Proceeds available to
Borrower for the Restoration of the Property, Borrower shall prepay
the outstanding principal balance of the Notes in an amount equal
to one hundred percent (100%) of such Net Proceeds. Such
prepayment shall be applied, first, to interest on the outstanding
principal balance of the Loan that would have accrued at the
Applicable Interest Rate on the amount prepaid through the end of
the Interest Period immediately prior to the date on which such
prepayment occurs, and then to all other amounts then due to Lender
under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents and then to
the outstanding principal balance of the Loan. Any
partial prepayment shall be applied first to any balloon payment
due at maturity, and then to installments of principal in the
inverse order of their maturity. No Spread Maintenance
Premium shall be payable under this Section 2.4.2
.
2.4.3
Prepayments After Default . If
after an Event of Default, but prior to the date when prepayment is
permitted under Section 2.4.1 , payment of all or any part
of the principal of the Loan is tendered by Borrower (which tender
Lender may reject to the extent permitted under applicable Legal
Requirements), a purchaser at foreclosure or any other Person, such
tender shall be deemed an attempt to circumvent the prohibition
against prepayment set forth in Section 2.4.1 and
Borrower, such purchaser at foreclosure or other Person shall pay
the Spread Maintenance Premium, in addition to (i) all accrued and
unpaid interest calculated at the Applicable Interest Rate on the
amount of principal being prepaid through and including the
Prepayment Date together with an amount equal to the interest that
would have accrued at the
38
Applicable
Interest Rate on the amount of principal being prepaid through
the end of the Interest Period immediately prior to the date
on which such prepayment occurs, (ii) the Interest Shortfall,
if applicable, with respect to the amount prepaid, (iii)
Breakage Costs, if any, without duplication of any sums paid
pursuant to the preceding clause (ii); and (v) all
other sums due under this Agreement (including Section
2.3.3 ), the Notes or the other Loan Documents in
connection with a partial or total prepayment.
2.4.4
If
the Loan is prepaid in full at any time prior to the funding of the
full amount of the TI/LC Maximum Advance Amount and Maximum Latham
& Watkins Imputed Rent Advance Amount, then the Note B
Lenders’ obligations to fund any unfunded portion of the
TI/LC Maximum Advance Amount and Maximum Latham & Watkins
Imputed Rent Advance shall thereupon be null and void and of no
further force or effect.
Section 2.5.
Interest Rate Swap . At all times
during the term of the Loan, the Affiliated Hedge Party shall
maintain in effect an Interest Rate Protection Agreement, with a
notional amount equal to not less than the Facility Amount and with
Bank of America N.A. (so long as it maintains a Minimum
Counterparty Rating) or another Counterparty acceptable to Lender
having a Minimum Counterparty Rating. If the Affiliated
Hedge Party obtains one (1) Interest Rate Protection Agreement, the
LIBOR strike rate under the Interest Rate Protection Agreement
shall be equal to or less than the Capped LIBOR Rate, or if the
Affiliated Hedge Party obtains more than one (1) Interest Rate
Protection Agreement, the blended LIBOR strike rate under the
Interest Rate Protection Agreement, as determined by Lender, shall
be equal to or less than the Capped LIBOR Rate. The
Interest Rate Protection Agreement shall be in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to Lender. In the event of any
downgrade or withdrawal of the rating of such Counterparty by any
Rating Agency below the Minimum Counterparty Rating, Borrower shall
cause the Affiliated Hedge Party to replace the Interest Rate
Protection Agreement not later than thirty (30) Business Days
following receipt of notice from Lender of such downgrade or
withdrawal with an Interest Rate Protection Agreement in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender (and meeting the
requirements set forth in this Section 2.5 ) from a
Counterparty acceptable to Lender having a Minimum Counterparty
Rating; provided , however , that if Eurohypo AG is
the Counterparty and any Rating Agency withdraws or downgrades the
credit rating of Lender below the Minimum Counterparty Rating,
Borrower shall not be required to cause the Affiliated Hedge Party
to replace the Counterparty under the Interest Rate Protection
Agreement provided that within thirty (30) Business Days following
Lender’s notice to Borrower of such downgrade or withdrawal
Eurohypo AG posts additional collateral acceptable to the Rating
Agencies securing its obligations under the Interest Rate
Protection Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if
S&P or Fitch withdraws or downgrades the credit rating of
Eurohypo AG below “A”, or Moody’s withdraws or
downgrades the credit rating of Eurohypo AG below
“Aa3”, Borrower shall cause the Affiliated Hedge Party
to replace the Interest Rate Protection Agreement not later than
fifteen (15) Business Days following receipt of notice from Lender
of such downgrade or withdrawal with an Interest Rate Protection
Agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Lender (and meeting
the requirements set forth in this Section 2.5) from a Counterparty
acceptable to Lender having a Minimum Counterparty
Rating.
Section 2.6.
Guarantee Rights . Guarantor or
its Affiliates shall have the right to provide Lender with a
guaranty, in the sole discretion of Guarantor or such Affiliate, of
all or any
39
portion
of any of the Notes, and Lender agrees, provided that such
guaranty does not adversely affect any of Lender’s
rights and interests under the Loan Documents or violate any
applicable Legal Requirements and the conditions set forth
below are satisfied, to accept such
guaranty. Lender may condition its acceptance of
such guaranty upon delivery to Lender of a satisfactory
non-consolidation opinion (which opinion shall be in form,
scope and substance acceptable in all respects to Lender and
the Rating Agencies) and modification of the Loan Documents to
reflect the existence and terms of such
guaranty. All expenses incurred by Lender in
connection with its review of a proposed guaranty and the
satisfaction of the conditions set forth above (including,
without limitation, legal fees and expenses in connection
therewith) shall be jointly and severally payable by Borrower
and Guarantor whether or not Lender accepts the proposed
guaranty.

Permitted Encumbrances, individually or
41
in
the aggregate, materially interfere with the benefits of the

Property, impair the use or operations of the Property or

respects with all applicable Legal Requirements, including, without
limitation, building and zoning ordinances and codes, except to the
extent such non-compliance, individually or in the aggregate, would

Effect. Borrower has not received notice of, and,
Borrower is not otherwise aware of any default or violation of any
order, writ, injunction, decree or demand of any Governmental
Authority, the violation of which would have a Material Adverse
Effect. To Borrower’s knowledge, there has not

Borrower or any other person in occupancy of or involved with the
operation or use of the Property, any act or omission affording the
federal government or any state or local government the right of
forfeiture as against the Property or any part thereof or any

No Defenses . The Loan Documents
are not subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim
or defense by Borrower, including the defense of usury, nor would

become due and payable thereunder which are presently
outstanding.

any insurance company or bonding company of any defects or
inadequacies in the Property, or any part thereof, that have
not been corrected and would adversely affect the insurability
of the same or cause the imposition of extraordinary premiums

and Borrower unless at the time of such action there shall be
at least two (2) members of the board of directors or managers
who are each an Independent Director or Independent
Manager.

has obtained effective extensions for filing) all federal, state
and local tax returns required to be filed and have paid or made

Borrower for the periods covered thereby, subject only to
reasonable adjustments required by the Internal Revenue Service or
other applicable tax authority upon audit.
