3. BORROWERS’ COVENANTS . Borrowers
further covenant and agree with Lender as follows:
3.1 Escrow Deposits .
(a) Subject to the terms of subparagraph (c) of this
Section 3.1 , Borrowers shall deposit monthly with Lender or
Correspondent a sum equal to one-twelfth (1/12th) of the amount
estimated by Lender or Correspondent to be required to pay, at
least thirty (30) days prior to their respective due dates,
annual property taxes, assessments, ground rent and insurance
premiums for each Property (the “Escrow Account”).
Lender shall not pay interest on or segregate the Escrow Account
unless required to do so under applicable law. If allowable by law,
Lender will set up the Escrow Account as interest-bearing, with
interest accruing to Borrowers. Any such interest-bearing account
must be acceptable to Lender, and the expense thereof must be paid
by Borrowers. If Lender is required to segregate the Escrow
Account, Borrowers shall (1) execute such documents as Lender,
in its sole discretion, deems necessary to perfect its security
interest in the Escrow Account and (2) pay the costs of
setting-up and maintaining the Escrow Account. At Closing (or such
later date as the Escrow Account is established), Lender will
determine the amount of the initial deposit that must be made by
the Borrowers to the Escrow Account;
(b) If an Escrow Account is
established, the Escrow Account shall be pledged as additional
security for the Loan and shall be held to be irrevocably applied
for the purposes for which made hereunder and shall not be subject
to the direction or control of Borrowers; provided, however, that
neither Lender, Correspondent nor any depository holding such funds
shall be liable for any failure to apply to the payment of taxes,
assessments, ground rent or insurance premiums any amount so
deposited unless (i) a Borrower shall have requested Lender,
Correspondent or said depository in writing to make application of
such funds to the payment of the particular taxes, assessments,
ground rent or insurance premiums as the case may be, accompanied
by the bills therefor, (ii) there shall exist no Default or
Event of Default hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents,
(iii) there are sufficient funds in the Escrow Account to pay the
particular taxes, assessments, ground rent or insurance premiums
and (iv) following payment of such taxes, assessments, ground
rent or insurance premiums, the Escrow Account will be “in
balance” in the reasonable opinion of Lender; and
(c) Lender and Borrowers have
executed and delivered the Waiver Letter regarding the waiver of
the foregoing escrow provisions, subject to the provisions more
particularly set forth therein.
3.2 Payment of Taxes .
Mortgagors shall pay all real estate taxes, assessments and charges
of every kind upon each Real Property before the same become
delinquent; provided, however, that a Mortgagor shall have the
right to pay any such tax, assessment or charge under protest or to
otherwise contest any such tax, assessment or charge but only if
(i) such contest has the effect of preventing the collection
of such tax, assessment or charge so contested and also preventing
the sale or forfeiture of the Property or any part thereof or any
interest therein, (ii) Mortgagor has notified Lender in
writing in advance of its intent to contest such tax, assessment or
charge, and (iii) Mortgagor has deposited security in form and
amount satisfactory to Lender, in its reasonable judgment, and
increases the amount of such security so deposited promptly after
Lender’s reasonable request therefor. If Mortgagor shall fail
to commence such contest or, having commenced such contest, and
having deposited such security required by Lender for its full
amount, shall thereafter fail to prosecute such contest in good
faith or with due diligence, or, upon adverse conclusion of any
such contest, shall fail to pay the tax, assessment or charge so
contested, in each case after notice to Mortgagor of such failure,
Lender may at its election (but shall not be required to), pay and
discharge any such tax, assessment or charge, and any interest or
penalty thereon, and any amounts so expended by Lender shall be
deemed to constitute disbursements of the Loan proceeds hereunder
(even if the total amount of disbursements would exceed the face
amount of the Note), and shall bear interest from the date expended
at the Default Rate and be payable with such interest upon demand.
Lender in making any payment hereby authorized relating to any tax,
assessment or charge, may do so according to any bill, statement or
estimate procured from the appropriate public office without
inquiry into the accuracy of such bill, statement or estimate or
into the validity of any tax, assessment, charge, sale, forfeiture,
tax lien or title or claim thereof.
3.3 Maintenance of
Insurance . (a) Insurance Coverage Requirements :
Mortgagors shall maintain insurance coverage as contained on
Exhibit F attached hereto and made a part hereof.
(b) No Other Insurance
. Mortgagors shall not take out separate insurance concurrent in
form or contributing in the event of loss with that required to be
maintained hereunder unless Lender is included thereon under a
standard, non-contributory Lender clause reasonably acceptable to
Lender. A Mortgagor shall immediately notify Lender whenever any
such separate insurance is taken out and shall promptly deliver to
Lender the original policy or policies of such insurance.
(c) Lender’s Right to
Obtain Insurance . Notwithstanding this Section 3.3 , in
the Event of a Default under Section 3.3 of this Agreement,
Lender or Correspondent shall have the right (but not the
obligation) to place and maintain insurance required to be placed
and maintained by Mortgagors hereunder, and use funds on deposit in
the Escrow Account for the payment of insurance to pay for same.
Any additional amounts expended therefor shall constitute
additional disbursements of Loan proceeds (even if the total amount
of disbursements would exceed the face amount of the Note), and, if
not paid by Borrowers upon demand, shall bear interest from the
date expended at the Default Rate and be payable together with such
interest upon demand.
3.4 Mechanics’ Liens and
Contest Thereof . Mortgagors will not suffer or permit any
mechanics’ lien claims to be filed or otherwise asserted
against any Real Property and will promptly discharge the same if
any claims for lien or any proceedings for the enforcement thereof
are filed or commenced; provided, however, that a Mortgagor shall
have the right to contest in good faith and with due diligence the
validity of any such lien or claim upon furnishing to the Title
Insurer such security or indemnity as it may require to induce the
Title Insurer to insure against all such claims, liens or
proceedings.
3.5 Settlement of
Mechanics’ Lien Claims . If a Mortgagor shall fail
promptly to discharge any mechanics’ lien claim filed or
otherwise asserted or to contest any such claims and give security
or indemnity in the manner provided in Section 3.4 hereof,
or, having commenced to contest the same, and having given such
security or indemnity, shall thereafter fail to prosecute such
contest in good faith or with due diligence, or fail to maintain
such indemnity or security so required by the Title Insurer for its
full amount, or, upon adverse conclusion of any such contest, shall
fail to cause any judgment or decree to be satisfied and lien to be
promptly released, then, and in any such event, after notice to
Mortgagor, Lender may, at its election, but shall not be required
to, (i) procure the release and discharge of any such claim
and any judgment or decree thereon, without inquiring into or
investigating the amount, validity or enforceability of such lien
or claim and (ii) effect any settlement or compromise of the
same on reasonable terms, or may furnish such security or indemnity
to the Title Insurer, and any amounts expended by Lender in doing
so, including premiums paid or security furnished in connection
with the issuance of any surety company bonds, shall be deemed to
constitute disbursements of the Loan proceeds hereunder (even if
the total amount of disbursements would exceed the face amount of
the Note), and, if not paid by Borrowers upon demand, shall bear
interest from the date expended at the Default Rate and be payable
together with such interest upon demand.

Restoration of Improvements . Mortgagors shall
(i) subject to Section 5.1 and the Leases, promptly
repair, restore or rebuild any Improvements, which may become

waive any material provision of, terminate or cancel any lease(s)
of space in any Property without the prior written consent of
Lender, except in accordance with the Leasing Guidelines attached
hereto as Exhibit E and made a part hereof. Any breach
by a Mortgagor of this Section 3.7 (continuing beyond any
applicable notice and cure periods) shall be deemed by Lender in
its sole discretion, as an Event of Default.
3.8 Compliance With
Laws . Mortgagors shall promptly comply (or use
commercially reasonable efforts to cause tenants to comply) with
all applicable Laws of any Governmental Authority relating to each
Property on an ongoing basis, and Mortgagors shall maintain (or use
reasonable efforts to cause tenants to maintain) in force all
permits, licenses or contracts necessary or reasonably considered
by Lender to be desirable for the contemplated use, operation and
maintenance of each Property.
3.9 Alterations .
Without the prior written consent of Lender, Mortgagors shall not
make any material alterations to any Property (other than
nonstructural maintenance work and completion of tenant work
required in accordance with leases previously existing or hereafter
entered into in accordance with the terms of this Agreement). Such
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld and shall be deemed
given if notice of disapproval is not given within ten
(10) business days after request.

furnishings, furniture, attachments and equipment (if any) located
on or used in connection with a Property, shall always be located

liens, encumbrances and security interests of any kind whatever,

Mortgagor’s business, (ii) Mortgagor will be the

expenses then due and payable, including amounts due to Lender
pursuant to the Loan Documents. No cash flow from any Property
shall be distributed to any partners, principals, members or
shareholders of Borrowers or applied to the payment of any
obligations, debts or expenses not related to the Property if an
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and Lender has

tenants to pay their rent to Lender pursuant to the Assignments of
Leases and Rents of even date herewith from the Mortgagors to
Lender.
3.12 Inspection by
Lender . Mortgagors will cooperate (and will cause the
managing agent to cooperate) with Lender in arranging for

Information . Borrowers shall deliver or cause to be
delivered to Lender and Correspondent annual financial statements
for Borrowers and annual financial statements for Indemnitor as
soon as available and in all events no later than ninety
(90) days after the close of each fiscal year. Annual
statements shall be certified as true and correct by an authorized
financial officer of Borrowers or Indemnitor, as the case may be.
While only annual financial statements will be required initially,
upon the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default, Lender
shall have the right to require that the Borrowers provide
quarterly financial statements and that Borrowers and Indemnitor
promptly provide Lender with such additional financial reports and
such additional financial information as Lender may reasonably
require. If a Default has occurred or Lender reasonably believes
that previously provided financial statements are inaccurate,
Lender may require that the annual statements shall be certified by
an independent certified public accountant as having been prepared
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
Mortgagors shall also furnish a current rent roll for each Property
within ninety (90) days after the close of each fiscal year.

books and records; and

Lender shall describe with particularity the Building Law violation

violation.
3.14 Documents of Further
Assurance . Borrowers shall, from time to time, upon
Lender’s written request, execute, deliver, record and
furnish such documents as Lender may reasonably deem necessary or
desirable to (i) perfect and maintain perfected as valid liens
upon each Property, the liens granted by Mortgagors to Lender under
the Mortgages and the collateral assignments and other security
interests under the other Loan Documents as contemplated by this
Agreement, (ii) correct any errors of a typographical nature
or inconsistencies which may be contained in any of the Loan
Documents, and (iii) consummate fully the transaction

employees, agents, representatives, architects and engineers, which
in any way relate to any Property, or any part thereof.
3.16 Operation of Property and
Zoning . As long as any portion of the Loan remains
outstanding, Mortgagors shall use commercially reasonable efforts
to cause each Property to be operated in the manner currently in
effect for such property. Mortgagors shall fully and faithfully
perform all of their covenants, agreements and obligations under
each of the leases of space in each Property. Mortgagors shall not

withheld.

approval of Lender which shall not be unreasonably withheld. If, in
the ordinary course of business, a Mortgagor shall enter into any
contracts or agreements (other than management contracts) with
leasing agents or brokers for any Property, the Mortgagor shall

material notices received or given by a Borrower (or its agents or
representatives) in connection with a Property.
3.19 Indemnification .

and their officers, directors, employees, shareholders, advisers,
and agents (collectively, “Indemnified Parties”)
harmless from and against all claims, injury, damage, loss, costs
(including reasonable attorney fees and costs) and liability of any
and every kind incurred by Indemnified Parties by reason of
(i) the operation or maintenance of each Property or any
construction at a Property until such time as the Property is
transferred by foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure or other
acquisition of the Property; (ii) the payment of any brokerage
commissions or fees of any kind incurred by Borrowers with respect
to the Application/Commitment or the Loan, and for any reasonable
legal fees or expenses incurred by Lender in connection with any

inaction by, or matter which is the responsibility of, Borrowers;
and (iv) the breach of any representation or warranty or
failure to fulfill any of Borrowers’ obligations under this
Agreement or any other Loan Document. The foregoing indemnity shall
include the cost of all alterations, repairs and replacements to
any Property (including, without limitation, architectural,
engineering, legal and accounting costs), and all fines, fees and

deed in lieu of foreclosure of one or more of the Mortgages or by
other means, the foregoing indemnification obligation shall survive
such foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure or other

acts or omissions cause what would otherwise be considered an
indemnification obligation by Borrowers and/or Indemnitor.

not to be unreasonably withheld, the LLC Borrowers shall not permit
or suffer any amendment or modification of their member control
agreements or operating agreements, except as permitted pursuant to
Section 6.3 .
3.21 Publicity . During
the term of the Loan, each party to this Agreement may issue or
publish releases or announcements stating that the financing for
each Property is being provided by Lender to Borrowers subject to
the consent of the other party hereto, which shall not be
unreasonably withheld.
3.22 Access to Leased Premises
and Right to Cure Defaults Under Reciprocal Easement
Agreements . In the event of a material default by a
Mortgagor under a Reciprocal Easement Agreement, Mortgagors agree
that Lender shall have the right (but not the obligation), to cure
or cause the cure of such default and, in the event the cure of
such default by its nature requires that Lender enter upon and/or
take possession of the Property, Mortgagors hereby agree that
Lender may, and Mortgagors hereby grant Lender the right to, enter
in and upon and take exclusive possession of the Property for the
purpose of curing such default; provided, however, Lender shall not
be entitled to exercise its rights under this Section until the
expiration of applicable grace periods under such agreements, so
long as Lender shall be afforded an independent cure right and
grace period under such agreements. Any costs incurred by Lender in
curing such default shall constitute additional indebtedness
evidenced by the Note and secured by the Mortgages and other Loan
Documents, and, if not paid by Borrowers upon demand, shall bear
interest from the date expended at the Default Rate and be payable
together with such interest upon demand.
3.23 Lender’s Attorney
Fees and Expenses . If at any time hereafter prior to
repayment of the Loan in full, Lender reasonably employs counsel
for advice or other representation (whether or not any suit has
been or shall be filed and whether or not other legal proceedings
have been or shall be instituted and, if such suit is filed or
legal proceedings instituted, through all administrative, trial,
and appellate levels) with respect to the Loan, any Property or any
part thereof, this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents,
including any proposed or actual restructuring of the Loan, or to
protect, collect, lease, sell, take possession of, or liquidate any
Property, or to attempt to enforce any security interest or lien on
any Property, or to enforce any rights of Lender or any of
Borrowers’ obligations hereunder or those of any other
person, firm or corporation which may be obligated to Lender by
virtue of this Agreement or any other agreement, instrument or
document heretofore or hereafter delivered to Lender by or for the
benefit of Borrowers, or to analyze and respond to any request for
consent or approval made by Borrowers, then, in any such event, all
of the reasonable attorney fees and expenses arising from such
services, and all expenses, costs and charges relating thereto,
shall, if not paid by Borrowers upon demand, bear interest from the
date expended at the Default Rate and shall be paid by Borrowers on
demand and if Borrowers fail to pay such fees, costs and expenses
payment thereof by Lender shall be deemed to constitute
disbursement of the Loan proceeds hereunder (even if the total
amount of disbursements would exceed the face amount of the Note)
and shall constitute additional indebtedness of Borrowers to
Lender, payable on demand and secured by the Mortgages and other
Loan Documents.
3.24 Loan Expenses .

the Loan, including all amounts payable pursuant to the

demand expenses incurred by Lender in connection with any
modification of any of the terms of the Loan.
