     (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;

-26-


 

claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.2.3(f) , Borrower shall not be required to pay same unless the requirement for such additional amounts is the result of requirements imposed generally on lenders 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 Note and the satisfaction of all other obligations of Borrower under this Agreement and the Loan Documents.

          (g) Borrower agrees to indemnify Lender and to hold Lender harmless from any loss or expense (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 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 and (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 (the amounts referred to in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) are herein referred to collectively as the “ Breakage Costs ”). Whenever in this Section 2.2.3 the term “interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it” is used and no such funds were actually obtained from such lenders, it shall include interest or fees which would have been payable by Lender if it had obtained funds from lenders in order to maintain a LIBOR Loan hereunder. Lender will provide to Borrower a statement detailing such Breakage Costs and the calculation thereof.

          (h) The provisions of this Section 2.2.3 shall survive payment of the Note in full and the satisfaction of all other obligations of Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

           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

-27-


 

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 from time to time in effect and applicable to the Loan for so long as the Loan is outstanding.

The Maturity Date shall be extended pursuant to Borrower’s notices as aforesaid, provided that the following conditions are satisfied: (i) no Event of Default shall be in existence either at the time of Borrower’s notice or at the then-current Maturity Date and (ii) Borrower shall enter into an Interest Rate Protection Agreement through the term of the applicable extension under the same terms and conditions of the initial Interest Rate Protection Agreement (including its LIBOR strike price) entered into in connection with the Loan and shall provide an Assignment of Protection Agreement with respect thereto in the form of Assignment of Protection Agreement, together with an opinion of counsel with respect thereto reasonably acceptable to Lender.

           2.3.3 Interest Rate and Payment after Default .

          (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 first Business Day that is immediately preceding such due date (notwithstanding such adjustment of due dates, Borrower shall not be entitled to any deduction of interest due under the Note, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents) and, with respect to payments of principal due on the Maturity Date, interest shall be payable at the Applicable Interest Rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, during such extension.

          (c) All payments required to be made by Borrower hereunder or under the Note 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.

If after an Event of Default, 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 (including, without limitation, (i) in the event that such prepayment is received on a Monthly Payment Date, interest accruing on such amount calculated through and including the end of the Interest Period in which such Monthly Payment Date occurs, or (ii) in the event that such prepayment is received on a date other than a Monthly Payment Date, interest accruing on such amount calculated through and including the end of the Interest Period in which the next Monthly Payment Date occurs), a prepayment fee equal to the Spread Maintenance Premium, if applicable, in addition to the outstanding principal balance, all accrued and unpaid interest and other amounts payable under the Loan Documents.
