Borrower.

 

     SECTION .2 INTEREST; LOAN PAYMENTS; LATE PAYMENT CHARGE.

 

     .2.1 INTEREST GENERALLY. Interest on the outstanding principal balance of

the Loan shall accrue from the Closing Date to but excluding the Maturity Date

at the Applicable Interest Rate.

 

     .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 a three hundred sixty (360) day year by (c) the outstanding

principal balance.

 

     .2.3 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 the Closing Date up to but not including the eleventh day of the next

succeeding calendar month, (b) on September 11, 2005 and on each Payment Date

thereafter through and including the Payment Date occurring on August 11, 2007,

interest only on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan (the "INTEREST

ONLY PAYMENT AMOUNT"), and (c) on each Payment Date commencing with the Payment

Date occurring on September 11, 2007 up to and including the Maturity Date, an

amount equal to the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount, which payments shall be

applied first to accrued and unpaid interest on the Loan for the prior Interest

Period and the balance to the outstanding principal of the Loan.

 

     .2.4 INTENTIONALLY DELETED.

 

      .2.5 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 Security

Instruments and the other Loan Documents.

 

     .2.6 PAYMENTS AFTER DEFAULT. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance

of an Event of Default, (a) interest on the outstanding principal balance of the

Loan and, to the extent permitted by law, overdue interest and other amounts due

in respect of the Loan, shall accrue at the Default Rate, calculated from the

date such payment was due without regard to any grace or cure periods contained

herein and (b) Lender shall be entitled to receive and Borrower shall pay to

Lender on each Payment Date an amount equal to the Net Cash Flow After Debt

Service for the prior month, such amount to be applied by Lender to the payment

of the Debt in such order as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion,

including, without limitation, alternating applications thereof between interest

and principal. Interest at the Default Rate and Net Cash Flow After Debt Service

shall both be computed from the occurrence of the Event of Default until the

actual receipt and collection of the Debt (or that portion thereof that is then

due). To the extent permitted by applicable law, interest at the Default Rate

shall be added to the Debt, shall

 

 

                                       20

 

<PAGE>

 

itself accrue interest at the same rate as the Loan and shall be secured by the

Security Instruments. This paragraph shall not be construed as an agreement or

privilege to extend the date of the payment of the Debt, nor as a waiver of any

other right or remedy accruing to Lender by reason of the occurrence of any

Event of Default; the acceptance of any payment of Net Cash Flow After Debt

Service shall not be deemed to cure or constitute a waiver of any Event of

Default; and Lender retains its rights under this Note to accelerate and to

continue to demand payment of the Debt upon the happening of any Event of

Default, despite any payment of Net Cash Flow After Debt Service.

 

     .2.7 LATE PAYMENT CHARGE. If any principal, interest or any other sums due

under the Loan Documents is 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 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

Security Instruments and the other Loan Documents to the extent permitted by

applicable law.

 

     .2.8 USURY SAVINGS. This Agreement and the Note 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 Applicable Interest Rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, shall be

deemed to be immediately reduced to the Maximum Legal Rate and all previous

payments in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate shall be deemed to have been

payments in reduction of principal and not on account of the interest due

hereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to 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.

 

     .2.9 MAKING OF PAYMENTS. Each payment by Borrower hereunder or under the

Note shall be made in funds settled through the New York Clearing House

Interbank Payments System or other funds immediately available to Lender by

noon, New York City time, on the date such payment is due, to Lender by deposit

to such account as Lender may designate by written notice to Borrower. Whenever

any payment hereunder or under the Note shall be stated to be due on a day which

is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding

Business Day.

 

     .2.10 INDEMNIFIED TAXES.

 

     (a) All payments made by Borrower hereunder shall be made free and clear

of, and without reduction for or on account of, Indemnified Taxes, excluding (i)

Indemnified Taxes measured by Lender's net income, and franchise taxes imposed

on it, by the jurisdiction under

 

 

                                       21

 

<PAGE>

 

the laws of which Lender is resident or organized, or any political subdivision

thereof, (ii) taxes measured by Lender's overall net income, and franchise taxes

imposed on it, by the jurisdiction of Lender's applicable lending office or any

political subdivision thereof or in which Lender is resident or engaged in

business, and (iii) withholding taxes imposed by the United States of America,

any State, commonwealth, protectorate territory or any political subdivision or

taxing authority thereof or therein as a result of the failure of Lender which

is a Non-U.S. Entity to comply with the terms of paragraph (b) below. If any non

excluded Indemnified 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 non excluded

Indemnified Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the

rate or in the amounts specified hereunder. Whenever any non excluded

Indemnified Tax is payable pursuant to applicable law by Borrower, Borrower

shall send to Lender an original official receipt showing payment of such non

excluded Indemnified Tax or other evidence of payment reasonably satisfactory to

Lender. 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 non excluded Indemnified Tax when due to the

appropriate taxing authority or any failure by Borrower to remit to Lender ender

the required receipts or other required documentary evidence.

 

     (b) In the event that Lender or any successor and/or assign of Lender is

not incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or a State

thereof (a "NON-U.S. ENTITY") Lender agrees that, prior to the first date on

which any payment is due such entity hereunder, it will deliver to Borrower two

duly completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or

W-8ECI or successor applicable form, as the case may be, certifying in each case

that such entity is entitled to receive payments under the Note, without

deduction or withholding of any United States Federal income taxes. Each entity

required to deliver to Borrower a Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI pursuant to the

preceding sentence further undertakes to deliver to Borrower two further copies

of such forms, or successor applicable forms, or other manner of certification,

as the case may be, on or before the date that any such form expires (which, in

the case of the Form W-8ECI, is the last day of each U.S. taxable year of the

Non-U.S. Entity) or becomes obsolete or after the occurrence of any event

requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered by it to

Borrower, and such other extensions or renewals thereof as may reasonably be

requested by Borrower, certifying in the case of a Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI that

such entity is entitled to receive payments under the Note without deduction or

withholding of any United States Federal income taxes, unless in any such case

an event (including, without limitation, any change in treaty, law or

regulation) has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would

otherwise be required which renders all such forms inapplicable or which would

prevent such entity from duly completing and delivering any such form with

respect to it and such entity advises Borrower that it is not capable of

receiving payments without any deduction or withholding of United States Federal

income tax.

 

     SECTION .3 PREPAYMENTS.

 

     .3.1 VOLUNTARY PREPAYMENTS. Except as otherwise provided herein, Borrower

prepaid through and including the date of prepayment. Any partial prepayment

     .3.2 MANDATORY PREPAYMENTS. On each date on which Borrower actually

receives any Net Proceeds, if Lender is not obligated to make such Net Proceeds

available to Borrower for the restoration of any Individual Property, Borrower

one hundred percent (100%) of such Net Proceeds. No Yield Maintenance Premium

shall be due in connection with any prepayment made pursuant to this Section

2.3.2. Any partial prepayment under this Section shall be applied to the last

payments of principal due under the Loan.

 

     .3.3 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 deemed a voluntary prepayment by

2.3.1 hereof and, if such payment is made prior to the Permitted Prepayment

Date, Borrower shall pay, in addition to the Debt, (i) an amount equal to the

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 will occur and the principal amount of

     the Loan to be defeased;

 

          (ii) Borrower shall pay to Lender all accrued and unpaid interest on

     the principal balance of the Note to and including the Defeasance Date;

 

          (iii) Borrower shall pay to Lender all other sums, not including

     scheduled interest or principal payments, then due under the Note, this

     Agreement, the Security Instruments, and the other Loan Documents;

 

          (iv) Borrower shall deliver to Lender the Defeasance Deposit

     applicable to the Defeasance Event;

 

          (v) In the event only a portion of the Loan is the subject of the

     Defeasance Event, Borrower shall prepare all necessary documents to modify

     this Agreement and to amend and restate the Note and issue two substitute

     notes for the Note, one note having a

 

 

                                       23

 

<PAGE>

 

     principal balance equal to the defeased portion of the original Note and a

     maturity date equal to the Permitted Prepayment Date (the "DEFEASED NOTE")

     and the other note having a principal balance equal to the undefeased

     portion of the original Note and a maturity date equal to the Maturity Date

     (the "UNDEFEASED NOTE"). The Defeased Note and the Undefeased Note shall

     otherwise have terms identical to the original Note, except that a Defeased

     Note cannot be the subject of any further Defeasance Event. The Undefeased

     Note may be the subject of a further Defeasance Event in accordance with

     the terms and provisions of this Section 2.4 (the term "Note", as used in

     this clause (v) for such purpose, being deemed to refer to the Undefeased

     Note that is the subject of further defeasance), provided, however, that no

     such partial defeasance shall take place unless the conditions outlined in

     Section 2.5 are satisfied;

 

          (vi) Borrower shall execute and deliver a security agreement, in a

     form and substance that would be reasonably satisfactory to a prudent

     institutional 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 2.4 (the "SECURITY

     AGREEMENT");

 

          (vii) Borrower shall deliver an opinion of counsel for Borrower in a

     form and substance that would be reasonably satisfactory to a prudent

     institutional lender stating, 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 or the Defeased Note

     (as applicable) 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;

 

          (viii) Borrower shall deliver confirmation in writing from the

     applicable Rating Agencies to the effect that such defeasance and release

     will not result in a downgrading, 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. If required by the applicable Rating Agencies, Borrower shall

     also deliver or cause to be delivered a non-consolidation opinion with

     respect to the Successor Borrower in form and substance satisfactory to

     Lender and the applicable Rating Agencies;

 

          (ix) Borrower shall deliver an Officer's Certificate certifying that

     the requirements set forth in this Section 2.4.1(a) have been satisfied;

 

          (x) Borrower shall deliver a certificate of an Acceptable Accountant

     certifying that the U.S. Obligations purchased with the Defeasance Deposit

     generate monthly amounts equal to or greater than the Scheduled Defeasance

     Payments;

 

          (xi) Borrower shall deliver such other certificates, documents or

     instruments as Lender may reasonably request; and

 

 

                                       24

 

<PAGE>

 

          (xii) Borrower shall pay all costs and expenses of Lender incurred in

     connection with the Defeasance Event, including, without limitation, (A)

     any costs and expenses associated with a release of the Lien of the related

     Security Instrument as provided in Section 2.5 hereof, (B) Lender's

     reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, (C) the costs and expenses of the

     Rating Agencies, (D) any revenue, documentary stamp or intangible taxes or

     any other tax or charge due in connection with the transfer of the Note, or

     otherwise required to accomplish the defeasance and (E) the reasonable

     costs and expenses actually incurred by Servicer and any trustee, including

     reasonable attorneys' fees.

 

               (b) In connection with each Defeasance Event, Borrower hereby

appoints Lender as its agent and attorney-in-fact for the purpose of using the

Defeasance Deposit to purchase U.S. Obligations which provide payments on or

prior to, but as close as possible to, all successive scheduled payment dates

after the Defeasance Date upon which interest and principal payments are

required under the Note, in the case of a Defeasance Event for the entire

outstanding principal balance of the Loan, or the Defeased Note, in the case of

a Defeasance Event for only a portion of the outstanding principal balance of

the Loan, as applicable, and in amounts equal to the scheduled payments due on

such dates under this Agreement and the Note or the Defeased Note, as

applicable, (including without limitation scheduled payments of principal,

interest, servicing fees (if any), the Rating Surveillance Charge and any other

amounts due under the Loan Documents on such dates) and assuming such Note or

Defeased Note, as applicable, is prepaid in full on the Permitted Prepayment

Date (the "SCHEDULED DEFEASANCE PAYMENTS"). 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 Lockbox

Account (unless otherwise directed by Lender) and applied to satisfy the

obligations of Borrower under the Note or the Defeased Note, as applicable. Any

portion of the Defeasance Deposit in excess of the amount necessary to purchase

the U.S. Obligations required by this Section 2.4 and satisfy Borrower's other

obligations under this Section 2.4 and Section 2.5 hereof shall be remitted to

Borrower.

 

     .4.2 SUCCESSOR BORROWER. In connection with any Defeasance Event, Borrower

shall establish or designate a successor entity (the "SUCCESSOR BORROWER") which

shall be a single purpose bankruptcy remote entity with one (1) Independent

Director approved by Lender (two (2) if required by any Rating Agency), and

Borrower shall transfer and assign all obligations, rights and duties under and

to the Note or the Defeased Note, as applicable, together with the pledged U.S.

Obligations to such Successor Borrower. Such Successor Borrower shall assume the

obligations under the Note or the Defeased Note, as applicable, and the Security

Agreement and Borrower shall be relieved of its obligations under such documents

and the other Loan Documents, except with respect to those obligations which are

expressly stated to survive. Borrower shall pay $1,000 to any such Successor

Borrower as consideration for assuming the obligations under the Note or the

Defeased Note, as applicable, and the Security Agreement. Notwithstanding

anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no other assumption fee shall be

payable upon a transfer of the Note or the Defeased Note, as applicable, in

accordance with this Section 2.4.2, but Borrower shall pay all costs and

expenses incurred by Lender, including Lender's attorneys' fees and expenses,

incurred in connection therewith.

     SECTION .5 RELEASE OF PROPERTY. Except as set forth in Section 2.4 hereof

and this Section 2.5, no repayment, prepayment or defeasance of all or any

portion of the Note shall cause, give rise to a right to require, or otherwise

result in, the release of any Lien of any Security Instrument on any Individual

Property.

 

      .5.1 RELEASE OF ALL PROPERTIES.

 

     (a) After the Permitted Release Date, if Borrower has elected to defease

the entire Loan and the applicable requirements of Section 2.4 hereof and this

Section 2.5 have been satisfied, all of the Properties shall be released from

the Liens of their respective Security Instruments and the U.S. Obligations,

pledged pursuant to the Security Agreement, shall be the sole source of

collateral securing the Note.

 

     (b) In connection with the release of the Security Instruments, Borrower

shall submit to Lender, not less than thirty (30) days prior to the Defeasance

Date, a release of Lien (and related Loan Documents) for each Individual

Property for execution by Lender. Such release shall be in a form appropriate in

each jurisdiction in which an Individual Property is located and that would be

satisfactory to a prudent institutional lender. In addition, Borrower shall

provide all other documentation Lender reasonably requires to be delivered by

Borrower in connection with such release, together with an Officer's Certificate

certifying that such documentation (i) is in compliance with all applicable

Legal Requirements, and (ii) will, following execution by Lender and recordation

thereof, effect such releases in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

 

     .5.2 RELEASE OF INDIVIDUAL PROPERTY. After the Permitted Release Date, if

Borrower has elected to defease a portion of the Loan and the applicable

requirements of Section 2.4 hereof and this Section 2.5 have been satisfied,

Borrower may obtain the release of an Individual Property from the Lien of the

Security Instrument thereon (and related Loan Documents) and the release of

Borrower's obligations under the Loan Documents with respect to such Individual

Property (other than those expressly stated to survive), upon the satisfaction

of each of the following conditions:

 

     (a) The principal balance of the Defeased Note shall equal or exceed the

Release Amount for the applicable Individual Property; provided, however, if the

undefeased portion of the Loan at the time a release is requested is less than

the Release Amount, the Defeased Note shall equal the remaining undefeased

portion of the Loan at the time of release;

 

     (b) Borrower shall provide Lender with at least thirty (30) days but no

more than ninety (90) days prior written notice of its request to obtain a

release of the Individual Property;

 

     (c) Borrower shall defease the portion of the Note equal to the Release

Amount of the Individual Property being released (together with all accrued and

unpaid interest on the principal amount being defeased) in accordance with the

terms and conditions of Sections 2.4.1 and 2.4.2 hereof;

 

     (d) Borrower shall submit to Lender, not less than thirty (30) days prior

to the date of such release, a release of Lien (and related Loan Documents) for

such Individual Property for execution by Lender. Such release shall be in a

form appropriate in each jurisdiction in which

 

 

                                       26

 

<PAGE>

 

the Individual Property is located and that would be satisfactory to a prudent

institutional lender. In addition, Borrower shall provide all other

documentation Lender reasonably requires to be delivered by Borrower in

connection with such release, together with an Officer's Certificate certifying

that such documentation (i) is in compliance with all applicable Legal

Requirements, (ii) will, following execution by Lender and recordation thereof,

effect such release in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and (iii)

will not impair or otherwise adversely affect the Liens, security interests and

other rights of Lender under the Loan Documents not being released (or as to the

parties to the Loan Documents and Properties subject to the Loan Documents not

being released);

 

     (e) After giving effect to such release, the Debt Service Coverage Ratio

for the Properties then remaining subject to the Lien of the Security Instrument

shall be at least equal to the Debt Service Coverage Ratio for all of the

Properties (including the Individual Property to be released) for the twelve

(12) full calendar months immediately preceding the release of such Individual

Property.

 

     (f) Intentionally Deleted;

 

     (g) Lender shall have received evidence that the Individual Property to be

released shall be conveyed to a Person other than Borrower or SPC Party;

 

     (h) Lender shall have received payment of all Lender's costs and expenses,

including due diligence review costs and reasonable counsel fees and

disbursements incurred in connection with the release of the Individual Property

from the lien of the related Security Instrument and the review and approval of

the documents and information required to be delivered in connection therewith;

and

 

     (i) Immediately following such release, the Allocated Loan Amount of the

Individual Property released (the "RELEASED INDIVIDUAL PROPERTY") shall be

reduced to zero and the Allocated Loan Amounts of the Individual Properties

remaining subject to the Lien of a Security Instrument immediately following

such release shall be reduced pro rata by the difference between the Release

Amount of the Released Individual Property and the original Allocated Loan

Amount of the Released Individual Property.

 

     .5.3 RELEASE ON PAYMENT IN FULL. Lender shall, upon the written request and

at the expense of Borrower, upon payment in full of all principal and interest

on the Loan and all other amounts due and payable under the Loan Documents in

accordance with the terms and provisions of the Note and this Agreement, release

the Lien of the Security Instrument on each Individual Property not theretofore

released.

 

     SECTION .6 MANNER OF MAKING PAYMENTS; CASH MANAGEMENT.

 

     .6.1 DEPOSITS INTO LOCKBOX ACCOUNT. Borrower shall cause all Rents from the

Properties to be deposited into the Lockbox Account in accordance with the Cash

Management Agreement. Without limitation of the foregoing, Borrower shall, and

shall cause Manager to, (a) cause or direct all tenants under Leases to deliver

all Rents payable thereunder either directly to the Lockbox Account or to

Manager for deposit into the Lockbox Account, and (b) deposit all amounts

received by Borrower or Manager constituting Rents or other revenue of any kind

from

 

 

                                        27

 

<PAGE>

 

the Properties into the Lockbox Account within one (1) Business Day of receipt

thereof. Disbursements from the Lockbox Account will be made in accordance with

the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Cash Management Agreement.

Lender shall have sole dominion and control over the Lockbox Account and, except

as set forth in the Cash Management Agreement, Borrower shall have no rights to

make withdrawals therefrom.

 

     .6.2 PAYMENTS RECEIVED IN THE LOCKBOX ACCOUNT. Notwithstanding anything to

the contrary contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents and

provided no Event of Default then exists, Borrower's obligations with respect to

the Interest Only Payment Amount, the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount and

amounts due for the Reserve Funds shall be deemed satisfied to the extent

sufficient amounts are deposited in the Lockbox Account to satisfy such

obligations on the dates each such payment is required, regardless of whether

any of such amounts are so applied by Lender.

 

     .6.3 NO DEDUCTIONS, ETC. All payments made by Borrower hereunder or under

the Note or the other Loan Documents shall be made irrespective of, and without

any deduction for, any setoff, defense or counterclaims.

 

     SECTION .7 SUBSTITUTE PROPERTY.

 

     (a) Generally. Subject to the conditions in this Section 2.7, at any time

and from time to time, Borrower may substitute (each such act is hereafter

referred to as a "SUBSTITUTION") a property (a "SUBSTITUTE PROPERTY") for an

Individual Property (a "REPLACED PROPERTY"). From and after the substitution of

a Substitute Property in accordance herewith, such Substitute Property shall

thereafter be deemed an Individual Property under this Agreement and the

Security Instrument, and the Allocated Loan Amount of such Substitute Property

shall be the same as the Allocated Loan Amount of the Replaced Property, except

that in the event that two (2) or more Substitute Properties replace a single

Replaced Property, then in that event, the Allocated Loan Amount of the Replaced

Property shall be apportioned between or amongst the Substitute Properties as

Lender in its sole discretion decides. In the event of a substitution, the Note

shall remain in full force and effect and a new Security Instrument encumbering

the Substitute Property (the "SUBSTITUTE SECURITY INSTRUMENT") shall be executed

and delivered by Borrower to Lender to encumber the Substitute Property.

Concurrently with the completion of all steps necessary to substitute a

Substitute Property as provided herein, Lender shall execute or cause to be

executed all such documents as are necessary or appropriate (i) to release all

Liens granted to Lender and affecting the Replaced Property, and (ii) to cause

the Substitute Security Instrument to be cross-collateralized and

cross-defaulted with the Security Instrument. Notwithstanding anything to the

contrary hereinbefore contained, Borrower's right to substitute a Property as

herein provided shall be subject to the additional limitation that at any time

the Allocated Loan Amount of such Substitute Property, individually or when

aggregated with the Allocated Loan Amounts of all other Properties which are or

were a Substitute Property shall not constitute more than 33 1/3 % of the

original outstanding principal amount of the Loan.

 

     (b) Substitute Property Requirements. To qualify as a Substitute Property,

the property nominated to be a Substitute Property must, at the time of

substitution:

 

 

                                       28

 

<PAGE>

 

          (i) be a property as to which Borrower will hold indefeasible fee

     title free and clear of any lien or other encumbrance except for Permitted

     Encumbrances;

 

          (ii) be free and clear of Hazardous Substance except for nominal

     amounts of any such substances commonly incorporated in or used in the

     operation of properties similar to the Properties (in either case in

     compliance with all Environmental Laws), all as set forth in an

     environmental report delivered to Lender;

 

          (iii) be in substantially the same repair and condition, which shall

     be certified by an Officer's Certificate of Borrower, as the Replaced

     Property was on the Closing Date or, in the event that the Replaced

     Property was itself a Substitute Property, on the date that such Property

     became a Property hereunder all as set forth in a Physical Conditions

     Report delivered to Lender;

 

          (iv) be in compliance, in all material respects, with Legal

     Requirements which shall be certified in an Officer's Certificate;

 

          (v) as evidenced by an Approved Appraisal performed at Borrower's

     expense and delivered to Lender, have a fair market value no less than the

     greater of (y) the fair market value of the Replaced Property on the

     Closing Date or (z) the fair market value of the Replaced Property

     immediately prior to the Substitution;

 

          (vi) be used primarily for self-service storage and related uses; and

 

          (vii) after giving effect to the Substitution, the Debt Service

     Coverage Ratio for all of the Properties (including the Substitute

     Property, but excluding the Replaced Property) shall be at least equal to

     the Debt Service Coverage Ratio for all of the Properties (including the

     Replaced Property) for the twelve (12) full calendar months immediately

     preceding the release and substitution of such Individual Property.

 

     (c) Conditions to Substitution. In addition to the requirements in Section

2.7(b) above, substitution of any Property pursuant to this Section 2.7 shall be

subject to the satisfaction of the following, all of which shall be prepared or

obtained at Borrower's expense:

 

          (i) simultaneously with the Substitution, Borrower shall convey fee

     simple title to the Replaced Property to a Person other than Borrower;

 

          (ii) Intentionally Deleted;

 

          (iii) Intentionally Deleted;

 

          (iv) receipt by Lender and the Rating Agencies of written notice

     thereof from Borrower at least thirty (30) days before the date of the

     proposed Substitution (the "SUBSTITUTION DATE"), together with (1) written

     evidence that the property proposed to be a Substitute Property complies

     with Section 2.7(b) above and (2) such other information, including

     financial information, as Lender or the Rating Agencies may request;

 

 

                                       29

 

<PAGE>

 

          (v) Lender's receipt of written affirmation from the Rating Agencies

     that the ratings of the Securities immediately prior to such Substitution

     will not be qualified, downgraded or withdrawn as a result of such

     Substitution, which affirmation may be granted or withheld in the Rating

     Agencies' sole and absolute discretion;

 

          (vi) delivery to Lender of an opinion of counsel opining as to the

     enforceability of the Substitute Security Instrument with respect to the

     Substitute Property in substantially the same form and substance as the

     opinion of counsel concerning enforceability originally delivered at the

     Closing Date in connection with the Replaced Property, with reasonable

     allowance for variations in applicable State law, and a Nondisqualification

     Opinion and a Tax Opinion;

 

          (vii) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;

 

          (viii) the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement,

     in the Security Instrument and the Loan Documents applicable to the

     Replaced Property shall be true and correct (except as to title exceptions)

     as to the Substitute Property on the Substitution Date in all material

     respects;

 

          (ix) delivery to Lender of a copy of the organizational documents of

     Borrower and all amendments thereto, certified as true, complete and

     correct as of the date of delivery by an Officer's Certificate; a

     certificate from the secretary of the State or other applicable State

     duly formed and in good standing (with tax clearance, if applicable), if

     available, and certificates from the Secretary of State of the State in

     which the Substitute Property is located (if such certificates are issued),

     certifying as to Borrower's good standing as a limited liability company in

     such State (with tax clearance, if applicable); delivery of an Officer's

     Certificate, dated the Substitution Date and signed on behalf of its

     Secretary or Assistant Secretary, certifying the names of the officers of

     the general partner of the sole member of Borrower authorized to execute

     and deliver, in the name and on behalf of Borrower, the Security

     Instrument, Assignment of Leases, UCC Financing Statements, and the other

     Loan Documents pertaining to such Substitute Property to which Borrower is

     a party, together with the original (not photocopied) signatures of such

     officers;

 

          (x) delivery to Lender of an Officer's Certificate certifying to the

     veracity of the statements in Subsections 2.7(b)(ii), 2.7(b)(iii),

     2.7(b)(iv), 2.7(b)(vii), 2.7(c)(viii), and 2.7(c)(ix) hereof;

 

          (xi) delivery to Lender of originals of the following:

                    acknowledgment are required) with respect to the Substitute

                     Property, together with a letter from Borrower countersigned

                    by a title insurance company acknowledging receipt of such

                    Security Instrument,

 

 

                                       30

 

<PAGE>

 

                     Assignment of Leases and UCC-1 Financing Statements and

                    agreeing to record or file, as applicable, such Security

                    Instrument, Assignment of Leases and Rents and, with regard

                    to the UCC-1 Financing Statements, if recordation or a

                    system of filing is accepted or established in the

                    applicable jurisdiction, one of the UCC-1 Financing

                    Statements in the real estate records for the county in

                    which the Substitute Property is located and, subject to

                    local law, rule or custom, to file one of the UCC-1

                    Financing Statements in the office of the Secretary of State

                    of the State in which Borrower has been formed, so as to

                    effectively create upon such recording and filing valid and

                    enforceable Liens upon the Substitute Property, of the

                    requisite priority, in favor of Lender (or such other

                    trustee as may be desired under local law), subject only to

                    the Permitted Encumbrances and such other Liens as are

                    permitted pursuant to the Loan Documents. The Security

                    Instrument, Assignment of Leases and UCC-1 Financing

                    Statements shall be the same in form and substance as the

                    counterparts of such documents executed and delivered with

                    respect to the related Replaced Property subject to

                    modifications reflecting the Substitute Property as the

                    Property that is the subject of such documents and such

                    modifications reflecting the laws of the State in which the

                    Substitute Property is located as shall be recommended by

                    the counsel admitted to practice in such State and

                     of such documents required pursuant to this Section. The

                    Security Instrument encumbering the Substitute Property

                    shall secure all amounts evidenced by the Note, provided

                    that in the event that the jurisdiction in which the

                    Substitute Property is located imposes a mortgage recording,

                    intangibles or similar tax and does not permit the

                    allocation of indebtedness for the purpose of determining

                    the amount of such tax payable, the principal amount secured

                    by such Security Instrument shall be equal to one hundred

                    fifty percent (150%) of the amount of the Loan allocated to

                    the Substitute Property;

 

               (2)   Lender shall have received (A) any "tie-in" or similar

                    endorsement to each Title Insurance Policy insuring the Lien

                    of the Security Instrument as of the date of the

                    substitution available with respect to the Title Insurance

                    Policy insuring the Lien of the Security Instrument with

                    respect to the Substitute Property and (B) a Title Insurance

                     Policy (or a marked, signed and redated commitment to issue

                    such Title Insurance Policy) insuring the Lien of the

 

 

                                       31

 

<PAGE>

 

                    Security Instrument encumbering the Substitute Property,

                    issued by the title company that issued the Title Insurance

                    Policies insuring the Lien of the Security Instrument and

                    and direct access agreements that replace such agreements

                    issued in connection with the Title Insurance Policy

                    insuring the Lien of the Security Instrument encumbering the

                     Replaced Property. The Title Insurance Policy issued with

                    respect to the Substitute Property shall (1) provide

                    coverage in the amount of the Release Amount applicable to

                    the Substitute Property if the "tie-in" or similar

                    endorsement described above is available or, if such

                    endorsement is not available, in an amount equal to one

                    hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Release Amount

                     applicable for the Substitute Property, (2) insure Lender

                    that the relevant Security Instrument creates a valid first

                    lien on the Substitute Property encumbered thereby, free and

                    clear of all exceptions from coverage other than Permitted

                    Encumbrances and standard exceptions and exclusions from

                    coverage (as modified by the terms of any endorsements), (3)

                    contain such legally available endorsements and affirmative

                    coverages as are contained in the Title Insurance Policies

                    insuring the Liens of the existing Security Instrument, and

                    (4) name Lender as the insured. Lender also shall have

                    received copies of paid receipts showing that all costs of

                    or premiums for such endorsements and Title Insurance

                    Policies have been paid;

 

               (3)   a current as-built land title Survey and a certificate from

                    a professional licensed land surveyor with respect to such

                    Substitute Property, certified to the Title Company and

                    Lender, and prepared in accordance with the 1999 Minimum

                    Standard Detail Requirements for ALTA/ACSM Land Title

                    Surveys meeting the classification of an "Urban Survey" and

                    the following additional items from the list of "Optional

                     Survey Responsibilities and Specifications" (Table A) shall

                    be added to each survey 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11(a) (as to

                    utilities, surface matters only) and 13, and showing the

                    location, dimensions and area of each parcel of the

                    Substitute Property, including all existing buildings and

                    improvements, utilities, parking areas and spaces, internal

                    streets, if any, external streets, rights-of-way, as well as

                    Substitute Property and identifying each item with its

                    corresponding exception, if any, in the title policy

                     relating thereto. Each survey shall contain the original

                    by the Title Company. In addition, Borrower shall provide

                    with respect to each Substitute Property a certificate of a

                    professional land surveyor to the effect that the

qualified to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction where it

is required to be so qualified in connection with its properties, businesses and

operations. Borrower possesses all rights, licenses, permits and authorizations,

governmental or otherwise, necessary to entitle it to own its properties and to

transact the businesses in which it is now engaged, and the sole business of

Borrower is the ownership, management and operation of the Properties. Schedule

4.1.1 attached hereto accurately depicts the organizational structure of

Borrower.

 

     .1.2 PROCEEDINGS. Borrower has taken all necessary action to authorize the

execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan

Documents. This Agreement and such other Loan Documents have been duly executed

and delivered by or on behalf of Borrower and constitute legal, valid and

binding obligations of Borrower enforceable against Borrower in accordance with

their respective terms, subject only to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and

similar laws affecting rights of creditors generally, and subject, as to

enforceability, to general principles of equity (regardless of whether

enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law).

 

     .1.3 NO CONFLICTS. 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 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 court or governmental agency or

body 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 regulatory authority or other

governmental agency or body 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.

made a part hereof 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 or any Individual Property, which

actions, suits or proceedings, if determined against Borrower or any Individual

Property, might materially adversely affect the condition (financial or

otherwise) or business of Borrower or the condition or ownership of any

Individual Property.

 

     .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 any Individual 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

 

 

                                       39

 

<PAGE>

 

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 any of

the Properties are 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 Properties

is otherwise bound, other than (a) obligations incurred in the ordinary course

of the operation of the Properties and specifically permitted under this

Agreement and (b) obligations under the Loan Documents. Set forth on Schedule

4.1.5 attached hereto are the material agreements to which Borrower is a party

or by which Borrower or any of the Properties are bound. Each such material

agreement is cancellable without penalty or premium on no more than thirty (30)

days notice unless otherwise specifically set forth on such Schedule 4.1.5.

 

     .1.6 TITLE. Borrower has good, marketable and insurable fee simple title to

the real property comprising part of each Individual Property and good title to

the balance of such Individual 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. Each Security

Instrument, 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 lien on the applicable Individual

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. There are no claims for

payment for work, labor or materials affecting the Properties which are or may

become a lien prior to, or of equal priority with, the Liens created by the Loan

Documents.

 

     .1.7 SOLVENCY / NO BANKRUPTCY FILING. Borrower (a) has not entered into the

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) has

received reasonably equivalent value in exchange for its obligations under the

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,

unliquidated, disputed and contingent liabilities. The fair saleable value of

Borrower's assets is and will, immediately following the making of the Loan, be

greater than Borrower's probable liabilities, including the maximum amount of

its contingent liabilities on its debts as such debts become absolute and

matured. Borrower's assets do not and, immediately following the making of the

Loan will not, constitute unreasonably small capital to carry out its business

as conducted or as proposed to be conducted. Borrower does not intend to 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

under the Bankruptcy Code or similar State bankruptcy or insolvency law has been

filed against Borrower or any constituent Person in the last seven (7) years,

and neither Borrower nor any constituent Person 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 of its

constituent Persons are contemplating either the filing of a petition by it

under the Bankruptcy Code or similar State bankruptcy or insolvency law or the

liquidation of all or a major portion of

<PAGE>

 

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.

 

     .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,

any Individual Property or the business, operations or condition (financial or

otherwise) of Borrower.

 

     .1.9 NO PLAN ASSETS. Borrower is not a Plan and none of the assets of

Borrower constitute or will constitute "Plan Assets" of one or more Plans. In

addition, (a) Borrower is not a "governmental plan" within the meaning of

Section 3(32) of ERISA and (b) transactions by or with Borrower are not subject

to State statutes regulating investment of, and fiduciary obligations with

respect to, governmental plans similar to the provisions of Section 406 of ERISA

or Section 4975 of the Code currently in effect, which prohibit or otherwise

restrict the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

 

     .1.10 COMPLIANCE. Borrower and the Properties and the use thereof comply in

all material respects with all applicable Legal Requirements, including, without

limitation, Environmental Laws, building and zoning ordinances and codes.

Borrower is not in default or violation of any order, writ, injunction, decree

or demand of any Governmental Authority. There has not been committed by

Borrower or, to Borrower's actual knowledge, any other Person in occupancy of or

involved with the operation or use of the Properties any act or omission

affording the Federal government or any other Governmental Authority the right

of forfeiture as against any Individual Property or any part thereof or any

monies paid in performance of Borrower's obligations under any of the Loan

Documents. Borrower hereby covenants and agrees not to commit, permit or suffer

to exist any act or omission affording such right of forfeiture.

 

     .1.11 FINANCIAL INFORMATION. All financial data, including, without

limitation, the statements of cash flow and income and operating expense, that

have been delivered to Lender in respect of Borrower and the Properties (i) are

true, complete and correct in all material respects, (ii) accurately represent

the financial condition of Borrower and the Properties, as applicable, as of the

date of such reports, and (iii) to the extent prepared or audited by an

Acceptable Accountant, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP throughout the

periods covered, except as disclosed therein. Borrower does not have any

contingent liabilities, liabilities for taxes, unusual forward or long-term

commitments or unrealized or anticipated losses from any unfavorable commitments

that are known to Borrower and reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse

Effect on any Individual Property or the operation thereof in the manner

currently operated, except as referred to or reflected in said financial

statements. Since the date of such financial statements, there has been no

Material Adverse Effect on the financial condition, operations or business of

Borrower from that set forth in said financial statements.

 

     .1.12 CONDEMNATION. No Condemnation or other similar proceeding has been

storm drain facilities adequate to service such Individual Property for its

respective intended uses. All public utilities necessary or convenient to the

full use and enjoyment of each Individual Property are located either in the

public right-of-way abutting such Individual Property (which are connected so as

to serve such Individual Property without passing over other property) or in

recorded easements serving such Individual Property and such easements are set

forth in and insured by the Title Insurance Policies. All roads necessary for

the use of each Individual Property for their current respective purposes have

been completed, are physically open and are dedicated to public use and have

been accepted by all Governmental Authorities.
