Effects on Loan Documents Except as specifically amended herein or contemplated hereby, all Loan Documents shall continue to be in full force and effect and are hereby in all respects ratified and confirmed. The execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Amendment shall not operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of any Lender or the Administrative Agent under any of the Loan Documents, nor constitute a waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents or in any way limit, impair or otherwise affect the rights and remedies of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents. Holdings, the Borrowers and each of the Subsidiary Guarantors acknowledges and agrees that, on and after the First Amendment Effective Date, this Amendment shall constitute a Loan Document for all purposes of the Amended Credit Agreement.

Management Agreements (i) Each Individual Property shall be operated under the terms and conditions of the applicable Management Agreement. Each Borrower shall or shall cause the applicable Operating Lessee to (x) pay all sums required to be paid by the owner under each Management Agreement, (y) diligently perform, observe and enforce all of the terms, covenants and conditions of each Management Agreement on the part of the owner thereunder to be performed, observed and enforced to the end that all things shall be done which are necessary to keep unimpaired the rights of said owner under each Management Agreement, (z) promptly notify Lender of the giving of any written notice to any Borrower and/or Operating Lessee of any default by the owner in the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of any Management Agreement on the part of the owner thereunder to be performed and observed (which Borrower or Operating Lessee may contest in accordance with the terms of the Management Agreement) and deliver to Lender a true copy of each such notice, and (aa) promptly deliver to Lender a copy of each financial statement, business plan, capital expenditure plan, notice of a default under the Management Agreement, report regarding operations at the related Individual Property, estimates of any monetary nature and any other items reasonably requested by Lender, in each case received by any Borrower or Operating Lessee under any Management Agreement.
(ii) No Borrower shall (and shall not cause or permit any Operating Lessee to), without the prior consent of the Lender (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), surrender any Management Agreement or terminate or cancel any Management Agreement or modify, change, supplement, alter or amend, in any material respect, any Management Agreement, either orally or in writing, and each Borrower hereby assigns to Lender as further security for the payment of the Indebtedness and for the performance and observance of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Loan Agreement, any and all rights, privileges and prerogatives of each Borrower to surrender any Management Agreement or to terminate, cancel, modify, change, supplement, alter or amend, in any material respect, any Management Agreement, and any such surrender of any Management Agreement or termination, cancellation, modification, change, supplement, alteration or amendment of any Management Agreement without the prior consent of Lender (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) shall be void and of no force and effect.
(iii) If any Borrower or Operating Lessee shall default in the performance or observance of any material term, covenant or condition of any Management Agreement on the part of the Borrower or Operating Lessee thereunder to be performed or observed beyond any applicable notice and cure periods contained therein, and Borrower or Operating Lessee is not contesting the validity of such default in good faith in accordance with the terms of the Management Agreement, then, without limiting the generality of the other provisions of this Agreement, and without waiving or releasing any Borrower from any of its obligations hereunder, Lender shall have the right, but shall be under no obligation, to pay any sums and to perform any act or take any action as may be appropriate to cause all the terms, covenants and conditions of such Management Agreement on the part of the owner to be performed or observed to be promptly performed or observed on behalf of such Borrower, to the end that the rights of said Borrower and/or Operating Lessee in, to and under such Management Agreement shall be kept unimpaired and free from default. Any such amounts so advanced by Lender together with interest thereon from the date expended by Lender of the Default Rate shall be part of the Indebtedness and Borrower shall immediately repay such amounts to Lender upon demand. Pursuant to the terms of the applicable Subordination, Attornment and Security Agreement and/or Assignment of Management Agreement, Lender and any person designated by Lender shall have, and are hereby granted, the right to enter upon the applicable Individual Property at any time and from time to time for the purpose of taking any such action. If any Manager shall deliver to Lender a copy of any notice sent to any Borrower and/or Operating Lessee of any default under any Management Agreement, and Borrower or Operating Lessee is not contesting said default in good faith in accordance with the terms of the Management Agreement, such notice shall constitute full protection to Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken by Lender in good faith, in reliance thereon.
(iv) Each Borrower shall (or shall cause the applicable Operating Lessee to) exercise each individual option, if any, to extend or renew the term of each Management Agreement upon demand by Lender made at any time within ninety (90) days prior to the last day upon which any such option may be exercised, and each Borrower hereby expressly authorizes and appoints Lender as its attorney-in-fact to exercise (or cause the applicable Operating Lessee to exercise) any such option in the name of and upon behalf of such Borrower should such Borrower fail to do so, which power of attorney shall be irrevocable and shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest.
(v) Any sums expended by Lender pursuant to this Section shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date such cost is incurred to the date of payment to Lender, shall be deemed to constitute a portion of the Indebtedness, shall be secured by the lien of the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents and shall be immediately due and payable within two (2) Business Days after demand by Lender therefor.
(vi) Each Borrower shall, promptly upon request of Lender, but no more than two (2) times in any calendar year during the term of the Loan (unless (x) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or (y) such request is occasioned in connection with a Secondary Market Transaction) use its diligent best efforts to obtain and deliver (or cause to be delivered) an estoppel certificate from each Manager (A) certifying (1) that the Management Agreement is unmodified and in full force and effect (or if there have been modifications, that the same, as modified, is in full force and effect and stating the modifications), and (2) the date through which the management fees due under the Management Agreement have been paid; (B) stating whether or not to the best knowledge of Manager (1) there is a continuing default by Borrower or Operating Lessee in the performance or observance of any covenant, agreement or condition contained in the Management Agreement or the Operating Lease, or (2) there shall have occurred any event that, with the giving of notice or passage of time or both, would become such a default, and, if so, specifying each such default or occurrence of which Manager may have knowledge; and (C) stating such other information as Lender may reasonably request. Such statement shall be binding upon Manager and may be relied upon by Lender and/or such third party specified by Lender.
(vii) Upon the termination of any Management Agreement, subject to Section 5.1(P), each Borrower shall (or shall cause Operating Lessee to) promptly enter into a new Management Agreement with a replacement Manager, which shall deliver a comfort or similar letter and/or a Manager’s Subordination to and in favor of Lender, all upon terms and conditions acceptable to Lender in its discretion.
