2.2.1    Interest Rate. Subject to the provisions of this Section 2.2, interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan shall accrue from (and include) the Closing Date through the end of the last Interest Period at the Floating Interest Rate. Borrower shall pay to Lender on each Payment Date the interest accrued (or to be accrued) on the Loan for the related Interest Period.
2.2.2    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.
2.2.3    Determination of Interest Rate. 1.%2.%3.%4. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 2.2.3, the Loan shall bear interest at the Floating Interest Rate.

(a)    In the event that Lender shall have reasonably determined that by reason of circumstances affecting the interbank Eurodollar market LIBOR cannot be determined as provided in the definition of LIBOR as set forth herein, then Lender shall forthwith give notice thereof by telephone of such fact, confirmed in writing, to Borrower at least one (1) Business Day prior to the Determination Date.

be canceled forthwith and (ii) any outstanding Floating Interest Rate Loan shall be converted automatically to a Prime Rate Loan on the first day of the next succeeding Interest Period or within such earlier period as required by law. Borrower hereby agrees promptly to pay Lender, upon demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate Lender for any costs 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 Floating Interest Rate Loan hereunder. Lender’s notice of such costs, as certified to Borrower, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(e)    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 impose, modify 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 LIBOR hereunder;
(ii)    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;

(iv)    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 attributable to or otherwise arising in respect of, the Loan necessary to compensate Lender for such additional cost or reduced amount receivable which Lender deems to be material as determined by Lender in its reasonable discretion. If Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section (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 amount required to fully compensate Lender for such additional cost or reduced amount. A certificate as to any additional costs or amounts payable pursuant to the foregoing sentence submitted by Lender to Borrower shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. Subject to Section 2.7 hereof, this provision shall survive payment of the Note and the satisfaction of all other obligations of Borrower under this Agreement and the Loan Documents.

- 47 -


(f)    Borrower agrees to indemnify Lender and to hold Lender harmless from any loss or expense which Lender sustains or incurs as a consequence of (i) any default by Borrower in payment of the principal of or interest on a Floating Interest Rate 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 Floating Interest Rate Loan hereunder, (ii) any prepayment (whether voluntary or mandatory) of the Floating Interest Rate Loan on a day that (A) is not a Payment Date or (B) is a Payment Date 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 Floating Interest Rate Loan hereunder and (iii) the conversion pursuant to the terms hereof of the Floating Interest Rate Loan to the Prime Rate Loan on a date other than the Payment Date, 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 Floating Interest Rate Loan hereunder (the amounts referred to in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) are herein referred to collectively as the “Breakage Costs”); provided, however, Borrower shall not indemnify Lender from any loss or expense arising from Lender’s willful misconduct or gross negligence. This provision shall survive payment of the Note in full and the satisfaction of all other obligations (other than contingent obligations) of Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

Lender will use reasonable efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions) to maintain the availability of the Floating Interest Rate Loan and to avoid or reduce any increased or additional costs payable by Borrower under Section 2.2.3, including, if requested by Borrower, a transfer or assignment of the Loan to a branch, office or Affiliate of Lender in another jurisdiction, or a redesignation of its lending office with respect to the Loan, in order to maintain the availability of the Floating Interest Rate Loan or to avoid or reduce such increased or additional costs, provided that the transfer or assignment or redesignation (a) would not result in any additional costs, expenses or risk to Lender that are not reimbursed by Borrower and (b) would not be disadvantageous in any economic respect or other material respect to Lender (including the effect on any Securitization) as determined by Lender in its reasonable discretion.
2.2.5    Default Rate. 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 and, to the extent permitted by law, all accrued and unpaid interest in respect of the Loan and any other amounts due pursuant to the Loan Documents, shall accrue interest at the Default Rate, calculated from the date such payment was due without regard to any grace or cure periods contained herein.
2.2.6    Usury Savings. This Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents 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 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

- 48 -


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.
2.2.7    Interest Rate Cap Agreement. 2.%2.%3.%4. Prior to or contemporaneously with the Closing Date, Borrower shall enter into an Interest Rate Cap Agreement with a LIBOR strike price equal to the Strike Price. The Interest Rate Cap Agreement (i) shall at all times be in a form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender, (ii) shall at all times be with an Acceptable Counterparty, (iii) shall direct such Acceptable Counterparty to deposit directly into the Cash Management Account any amounts due Borrower under such Interest Rate Cap Agreement so long as any portion of the Debt exists, provided that the Debt shall be deemed to exist if the Property is transferred by judicial or non‑judicial foreclosure or deed-in-lieu thereof, (iv) shall be for a period equal to the term of the Loan and (v) shall at all times have a notional amount equal to or greater than the principal balance of the Loan and shall at all times provide for the applicable Strike Price. Borrower shall collaterally assign to Lender, pursuant to the Collateral Assignment of Interest Rate Cap Agreement (as the same may be amended, restated, replaced, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Assignment of Interest Rate Cap Agreement”), all of its right, title and interest to receive any and all payments under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, and shall deliver to Lender an executed counterpart of such Interest Rate Cap Agreement (which shall, by its terms, authorize the assignment to Lender and require that payments be deposited directly into the Cash Management Account) and shall notify the Acceptable Counterparty of such assignment.
(a)    Borrower shall comply with all of its obligations under the terms and provisions of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement. All amounts paid by the Acceptable Counterparty under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement to Borrower or Lender shall be deposited promptly (but, in the case of Borrower, in no event later than one (1) Business Day after receipt) into the Cash Management Account. Borrower shall take all actions reasonably requested by Lender to enforce Lender’s rights under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement in the event of a default by the Acceptable Counterparty and shall not waive, amend or otherwise modify any of its rights thereunder.
(b)    In the event of any downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the rating of the Acceptable Counterparty by any Approved Rating Agency, Borrower shall replace the Interest Rate Cap Agreement with a Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement not later than ten (10) Business Days following receipt of notice from Lender of such downgrade, withdrawal or qualification.
(c)    In the event that Borrower fails to purchase and deliver to Lender the Interest Rate Cap Agreement or fails to maintain the Interest Rate Cap Agreement in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement, Lender may purchase the Interest Rate Cap Agreement and the cost incurred by Lender in purchasing such Interest Rate Cap Agreement shall be paid by

- 49 -


Borrower to Lender with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date such cost was incurred by Lender until such cost is reimbursed by Borrower to Lender.
(d)    In connection with the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, Borrower shall obtain and deliver to Lender (a) a resolution/consent, as applicable, of the Acceptable Counterparty authorizing the delivery of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement acceptable to Lender, and (b) an opinion from counsel (which counsel may be in‑house counsel for the Acceptable Counterparty) for the Acceptable Counterparty (upon which Lender and its successors and assigns may rely) which shall provide, in relevant part, that:
(i)    the Acceptable Counterparty is duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation or formation and has the organizational power and authority to execute and deliver, and to perform its obligations under, the Interest Rate Cap Agreement;
(ii)    the execution and delivery of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement by the Acceptable Counterparty, and any other agreement which the Acceptable Counterparty has executed and delivered pursuant thereto, and the performance of its obligations thereunder have been and remain duly authorized by all necessary action and do not contravene any provision of its certificate of incorporation or by‑laws (or equivalent organizational documents) or any law, regulation or contractual restriction binding on or affecting it or its property;
(iii)    all consents, authorizations and approvals required for the execution and delivery by the Acceptable Counterparty of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, and any other agreement which the Acceptable Counterparty has executed and delivered pursuant thereto, and the performance of its obligations thereunder have been obtained and remain in full force and effect, all conditions thereof have been duly complied with, and no other action by, and no notice to or filing with any governmental authority or regulatory body is required for such execution, delivery or performance; and
(iv)    the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, and any other agreement which the Acceptable Counterparty has executed and delivered pursuant thereto, has been duly executed and delivered by the Acceptable Counterparty and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Acceptable Counterparty, enforceable against the Acceptable Counterparty in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights 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).

If a notice of prepayment is given by Borrower to Lender pursuant to this Section 2.4.5, the amount designated for prepayment and all other sums required under this Section 2.4.5 shall be due and payable on the proposed prepayment date unless such prepayment is revoked or modified by Borrower upon two (2) Business Days’ prior written notice to Lender, provided that Borrower shall pay all of Lender’s reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with such revocation or modification.
2.4.6    Debt Yield Cure Actions.
(a)    Debt Yield Cure Payment. In order to achieve the applicable Required Cash Sweep Cure Debt Yield to effect a Cash Sweep Event Cure, Borrower may prepay a portion of the outstanding principal balance of the Loan in the amount (taking into account the prepayment of the Mezzanine Loan as required under Section 2.4.1(b)) necessary to cause the Debt Yield to equal or exceed the applicable Required Cash Sweep Cure Debt Yield (each such prepayment, a “Debt Yield Cure Payment”), provided that (A) such prepayment occurs on or after the Prepayment Release Date, (B)  no other Cash Sweep Event is then continuing, (C)  all other conditions to such prepayment set forth in Section 2.4.1(b), are satisfied on or prior to the date of such prepayment, and (D) in each case, Borrower pays Lender, in addition to the outstanding principal amount of the Loan to be prepaid, (I) all interest which would have accrued on the amount of the Loan to be paid through and including the last day of the Interest Period related to the Payment Date next occurring following the date of such prepayment, or, if such prepayment occurs on a Payment Date, through and including

- 54 -


the last day of the Interest Period related to such Payment Date; (II) all other sums then due and payable under this Agreement, the Note, and the other Loan Documents, including, but not limited to the Breakage Costs and all of Lender’s reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees and disbursements) incurred by Lender in connection with such prepayment; and (III) if such prepayment is made prior to the Spread Maintenance End Date, any applicable Spread Maintenance Payment. If a notice of prepayment is given by Borrower to Lender pursuant to this Section 2.4.6(a), the amount designated for prepayment and all other sums required under this Section 2.4.6(a) shall be due and payable on the proposed prepayment date unless such prepayment is revoked or modified by Borrower upon two (2) Business Days’ prior written notice to Lender, provided that Borrower shall pay all of Lender’s costs and expenses incurred in connection with such revocation or modification.
(b)    Debt Yield Cure Fund. In addition to and not in limitation of any of Borrower’s other rights under this Section 2.4.6, at any time during a Cash Sweep Period that shall have occurred as a result of a Debt Yield Trigger Event, provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower may establish and maintain an escrow fund (the “Debt Yield Cure Fund”) in an account controlled by Lender, into which Borrower shall have the right to deposit the amount which, if deemed to be applied to the then-outstanding principal balance of the Loan, would cause the Debt Yield to equal or exceed the applicable Required Cash Sweep Cure Debt Yield, provided that, no other Cash Sweep Event is then continuing. All funds held in the Debt Yield Cure Fund shall be treated as a “Reserve Fund” for purposes of Section 7.6 hereof. If at any time no Event of Default is continuing and the Required Cash Sweep Cure Debt Yield has been achieved for two (2) consecutive quarters (without taking into account any sums on deposit in the Debt Yield Cure Fund or the amount of any Debt Yield Cure LOC held by Lender), provided that a Mezzanine Cash Sweep Period has not occurred and is continuing (in the event a Mezzanine Cash Sweep Period does exist, all of the funds remaining in the Debt Yield Cure Fund shall be disbursed first, if a Senior Mezzanine Loan Cash Sweep Period exists, to Senior Mezzanine Lender or, if a Senior Mezzanine Loan Cash Sweep Period does not exist but a Junior Mezzanine Cash Sweep Period then exists, to Junior Mezzanine Lender), Lender shall return all of the funds remaining in the Debt Yield Cure Fund to Borrower. If at any time the Debt has been repaid in full, Lender shall pay funds, if any, remaining in the Debt Yield Cure Fund, (A) if any portion of the Senior Mezzanine Loan Debt (other than any contingent liabilities under the Senior Mezzanine Loan Documents) is then outstanding, to Senior Mezzanine Lender, (B) if no portion of the Senior Mezzanine Loan Debt (other than any contingent liabilities under the Senior Mezzanine Loan Documents) is then outstanding, but any portion of the Junior Mezzanine Loan Debt (other than any contingent liabilities under the Junior Mezzanine Loan Documents) is then outstanding, to Junior Mezzanine Lender, (C) if no portion of the Senior Mezzanine Loan Debt or the Junior Mezzanine Loan Debt (other than any contingent liabilities under the Senior Mezzanine Loan Documents or Junior Mezzanine Loan Documents, as applicable) is then outstanding, to Borrower.
(c)    Debt Yield Cure LOC.
(v)    In addition to and not in limitation of any of Borrower’s other rights under this Section 2.4.6, at any time during a Cash Sweep Period that shall have occurred as a result of a Debt Yield Trigger Event, provided no Event of Default has occurred and is

- 55 -


continuing, Borrower may deliver to Lender one or more Letters of Credit (each, a “Debt Yield Cure LOC”) in an aggregate amount not to exceed ten percent (10%) of the then-outstanding principal amount of the Loan. Following the delivery of any such Debt Yield Cure LOC, the full amount thereof shall, solely for the purposes of calculating the Debt Yield in connection with determining whether a Cash Sweep Event Cure shall have occurred with respect to such Debt Yield Trigger Event, be deducted from the amount described in clause (b) of the definition of “Debt Yield” set forth in Section 1.1 hereof (and the amount described in clause (b) of such definition shall be deemed, solely for such purposes, to have been so reduced as of the last day of the last full calendar quarter preceding such delivery), provided that in no event shall the Required Cash Sweep Cure Debt Yield be deemed to have been achieved solely as a result of the delivery of a Debt Yield Cure LOC if the full amount thereof, when so deducted, shall not be sufficient actually to achieve the Required Cash Sweep Cure Debt Yield.
(vi)    Each Debt Yield LOC delivered under this Agreement shall be additional security for the payment of the Debt. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, at its option, to draw on any Debt Yield LOC and to apply the proceeds of all or any part thereof to payment of the Debt in such order, proportion or priority as Lender may determine in its sole and absolute discretion. Any such application to the Debt shall be subject to the applicable Spread Maintenance Payment, if any, applicable thereto. On the Maturity Date, any such Debt Yield LOC shall, at Borrower’s option, be applied to reduce the Debt or, if the Debt is paid in full on or before such date, be (i) if any portion of the Mezzanine Loan Debt (other than any contingent liabilities under the Mezzanine Loan Documents) is then outstanding, assigned (A) if any portion of the Senior Mezzanine Loan Debt (other than any contingent liabilities under the Senior Mezzanine Loan Documents) is then outstanding, to Senior Mezzanine Lender, or (B) if no portion of the Senior Mezzanine Loan Debt (other than any contingent liabilities under the Senior Mezzanine Loan Documents) is then outstanding, but any portion of the Junior Mezzanine Loan Debt (other than any contingent liabilities under the Junior Mezzanine Loan Documents) is then outstanding, to Junior Mezzanine Lender, or (C) if no portion of the Senior Mezzanine Loan Debt or the Junior Mezzanine Loan Debt (other than any contingent liabilities under the Senior Mezzanine Loan Documents or Junior Mezzanine Loan Documents, as applicable) is then outstanding, (ii) if no portion of the Mezzanine Loan Debt (other than any contingent liabilities under the Mezzanine Loan Documents) is then outstanding, to Borrower.
(vii)    In addition to any other right Lender may have to draw upon a Debt Yield LOC pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Lender shall have the additional rights to draw in full any Letter of Credit: (A) with respect to any evergreen Debt Yield LOC, if Lender has received a notice from the issuing bank that the Debt Yield LOC will not be renewed and one or more substitute Debt Yield LOC’s are not provided at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the date on which the outstanding Debt Yield LOC is scheduled to expire; (B) with respect to any Debt Yield LOC with a stated expiration date, if Lender has not received a notice from the issuing bank that it has renewed the Debt Yield LOC at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the date on which such Debt Yield LOC is scheduled

- 56 -


to expire and one or more substitute Debt Yield LOC’s are not provided at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the date on which the outstanding Debt Yield LOC is scheduled to expire; (C) upon receipt of notice from the issuing bank that the Debt Yield LOC will be terminated; or (D) if Lender has received notice that the bank issuing the Debt Yield LOC shall cease to be satisfy the requirements of the definition of “Letter of Credit” and Borrower shall not have replaced such Debt Yield LOC with a Debt Yield LOC issued by a bank that satisfies such requirements within five (5) Business Days after notice thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the above, Lender is not obligated to draw any Debt Yield LOC upon the happening of any of the events specified in subclause (A), (B), (C) or (D) above and shall not be liable for any losses sustained by Borrower due to the insolvency of the bank issuing the Debt Yield LOC if Lender has not drawn the Debt Yield LOC.
Section 2.5    Release of the Property. Except as set forth in this Section 2.5, no repayment or prepayment of all or any portion of the Loan shall cause, give rise to a right to require, or otherwise result in, the release of the Lien of the Mortgage on the Property.
2.5.1    Release of the Property Upon Payment in Full. 5.%2.%3.%4. If Borrower has elected to prepay, or otherwise prepays the entire Loan and the requirements of Section 2.4 and this Section 2.5 have been satisfied, the Property shall be released from the Lien of the Mortgage, and Lender shall remit (or cause to be remitted) or relinquish (or cause to be relinquished) any Letters of Credit theretofore delivered to Lender in connection with the Loan and not previously returned by Lender (i) if any portion of the Senior Mezzanine Loan Debt (other than any contingent liabilities under the Senior Mezzanine Loan Documents) is then outstanding, to Senior Mezzanine Lender to hold upon the same terms and conditions set forth herein with respect to such Letter of Credit, (ii) if no portion of the Senior Mezzanine Loan Debt (other than any contingent liabilities under the Senior Mezzanine Loan Documents) is then outstanding, but any portion of the Junior Mezzanine Loan Debt (other than any contingent liabilities under the Junior Mezzanine Loan Documents) is then outstanding, to Junior Mezzanine Lender to hold upon the same terms and conditions set forth herein with respect to such Letter of Credit, or (iii) if no portion of the Mezzanine Loan Debt (other than any contingent liabilities under the Mezzanine Loan Documents) is then outstanding, to Borrower.
(b)    In connection with the release of the Mortgage, Borrower shall submit to Lender, not less than thirty (30) days prior to the Payment Date on which Borrower intends to prepay the Loan in full, a release of Lien (and related Loan Documents) for the Property for execution by Lender, together with a release of Borrower from the Obligations (other than those, if any, expressly stated to survive). Such release shall be in a form appropriate in the jurisdiction in which the Property is located and that would be satisfactory to a prudent lender and contains standard provisions, if any, protecting the rights of the releasing 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 Legal Requirements, and (ii) will effect such releases in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(b)    If the Property is managed by an Affiliated Manager, so long as (i) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, or (ii) no Cash Sweep Event that has been caused by the occurrence of any Bankruptcy Action of Manager has occurred, Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes Manager to withdraw funds from the Lockbox Account to pay Operating Expenses and other amounts payable to Manager under the Management Agreement. Manager will transfer on a monthly basis to the Cash Management Account any Rents remaining after giving effect to such withdrawals. Pursuant to the Operating Lease, Operating Rent then due and payable from Operating Company to Borrower pursuant to the Operating Lease shall be deemed to be paid pursuant to transfers of funds made pursuant to this Section 2.6.1(c).

(b)    All funds on deposit in the Cash Management Account during the continuance of (i) an Event of Default, or (ii) a Cash Sweep Event that has been caused by the occurrence of any Bankruptcy Action of Manager, may be applied by Lender as set forth in Section 5.2 of the Cash Management Agreement.

2.6.3    Payments Received Under the Cash Management Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, and provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower’s obligations with respect to the payment of the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount and amounts required to be deposited into the Reserve Funds, if any, shall be deemed satisfied to the extent sufficient amounts are deposited in the Cash Management Account to satisfy such obligations pursuant to this Agreement on the dates each such payment is required, regardless of whether any of such amounts are so applied by Lender.

(d)    Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of Borrower under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Section 2.7 Taxes, except as required by applicable law.

In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by Borrower, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by Borrower as will enable Borrower to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.7(e)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.
(ii)    Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that Borrower is a U.S. Borrower,
(A)    any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to Borrower on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

(iii)    in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a

- 61 -


certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN; or
(iv)    to the extent a Foreign Lender is a partnership or is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;
(C)    any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrower (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit Borrower to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and
(D)    if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to Borrower at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Borrower such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by Borrower as may be necessary for Borrower to comply with its obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify Borrower in writing of its legal inability to do so.
(i)    Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Section 2.7 Taxes as to which it has

- 62 -


been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.7 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.7), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Section 2.7 Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Section 2.7 Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (f) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (f), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (f) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its Section 2.7 Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.
(j)    Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.7 shall survive any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 2.7, Borrower shall not be obligated to pay pursuant to this Section 2.7, and Lender shall not be entitled to claim compensation pursuant to this Section 2.7, for any amounts which were incurred or which accrued more than ninety (90) days before the date Lender notified Borrower of the circumstance on which such claim of compensation is based and delivered to Borrower a written statement setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for calculating the amounts payable by Borrower under this Section 2.7.

Neither Borrower nor Operating Company has any material financial obligation under any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement or other agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it or the Property is otherwise bound, other than (a) obligations incurred in the ordinary course of the operation of the Property as permitted pursuant to clause (xxiii) of the definition of “Special Purpose Entity” set forth in Section 1.1 hereof, (b) the Permitted Encumbrances and (c) obligations under the Loan Documents.
4.1.11    Title. Borrower has good, marketable and insurable fee simple title to the real property (or leasehold estate as it relates to the Submerged Land Lease) comprising part of the Property and good title to the balance of the 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. The Permitted Encumbrances in the aggregate do not materially and adversely affect the value, operation or use of the Property (as currently used) or Borrower’s ability to repay the Loan. Operating Company has good and marketable title to the Operating Lease. The Mortgage, 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 first priority lien on the Property and Operating Lease to the extent perfectable by such recording and filing, subject only to Permitted Encumbrances and the Liens created by the Loan Documents and (b) perfected security interests to the extent perfectable by such recording and filing 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 material claims or, to the knowledge of Borrower or any Affiliate thereof (including, without limitation, any Affiliated Manager), any other claims for payment for work, labor or materials affecting the Property which are or may become a Lien prior to, or of equal priority with, the Liens created by the Loan Documents.
4.1.12    Solvency. Neither Borrower nor Operating Company has (a)  entered into this 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) received reasonably equivalent value in exchange for its obligations under such Loan Documents. Giving effect to the Loan and the applicable Loan Documents, the fair saleable value of Borrower’s and Operating Company’s respective assets exceeds and will, immediately following the making of the Loan, exceed Borrower’s and Operating Company’s respective total liabilities, including, without limitation, subordinated, unliquidated, disputed and contingent liabilities. The fair saleable value of Borrower’s and Operating Company’s respective assets is and will, immediately following the making of the Loan and the entering into of the applicable Loan Documents, be greater than Borrower’s and Operating Company’s respective probable liabilities, including the maximum amount of its respective contingent liabilities on its respective debts as such debts become absolute and matured. Borrower’s and Operating Company’s respective assets do not and, immediately following the

- 65 -


making of the Loan and the entering into of the applicable Loan Documents will not, constitute unreasonably small capital to carry out its respective business as conducted or as proposed to be conducted. Neither Borrower nor Operating Company intends to, and does not believe that it will, incur respective debt and liabilities (including contingent liabilities and other commitments) beyond its respective ability to pay such debt and liabilities as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be received by it and the amounts to be payable on or in respect of its obligations). No petition in bankruptcy has been filed against Borrower or Operating Company or any respective constituent Person in the last seven (7) years, and neither Borrower, Operating Company, nor any respective 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. None of Borrower, Operating Company, nor any of their respective constituent Persons are contemplating either the filing of a petition by it under any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency laws or the liquidation of all or a major portion of Borrower’s or Operating Company’s, as applicable, assets or property, and Borrower has no knowledge of any Person contemplating the filing of any such petition against it, Operating Company, or such constituent Persons.
4.1.13    Full and Accurate Disclosure. No statement of fact made by Borrower or Operating Company, as applicable, 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 or its Affiliates which has not been disclosed to Lender which adversely affects, nor as far as Borrower or its Affiliates can foresee, is reasonably likely to adversely affect, the Property or the business, operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of Borrower or Operating Company.
4.1.14    No Plan Assets. Neither Borrower nor Operating Company sponsors, is obligated to contribute to, or is itself an “employee benefit plan,” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, subject to Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, and none of the assets of Borrower or Operating Company, as applicable, constitutes or will constitute “plan assets” of one or more such plans within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101. In addition, (a) neither Borrower nor Operating Company is a “governmental plan” within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA and (b) transactions by or with Borrower or Operating Company are not subject to any state or other statute, regulation or other restriction regulating investments of, or fiduciary obligations with respect to, governmental plans within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA which is similar to the provisions of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and which prohibit or otherwise restrict the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including but not limited to the exercise by Lender of any of its rights under the Loan Documents.
4.1.15    Compliance. Borrower, Operating Company, and the Property and the use thereof comply in all material respects with all applicable Legal Requirements, including, without limitation, building and zoning ordinances and codes (including, without limitation, to the extent each of the same apply in the case of renovation or construction activities being undertaken in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement). Neither Borrower nor Operating Company is in default or violation of any material order, writ, injunction, decree or demand of any Governmental Authority. There has not been committed by Borrower, Operating Company, or any other Person in occupancy of or involved with the operation or use of the Property any act or

- 66 -


omission affording the federal government or any other Governmental Authority the right of forfeiture as against the Property or any part thereof or any monies paid in performance of Borrower’s obligations under any of the Loan Documents. On the Closing Date, the Improvements at the Property were in material compliance with applicable law.

Except for Permitted Encumbrances, neither Borrower nor Operating Company 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 or Operating Company, as applicable, and reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Property or the current operation thereof, except as referred to or reflected in said financial statements.

No part of the proceeds of the Loan will be used for the purpose of purchasing or acquiring any “margin stock” within the meaning of Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or for any other purpose which would be inconsistent with such Regulation U or any other Regulations of such Board of Governors, or for any purposes prohibited by Legal Requirements or by the terms and conditions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

Borrower shall promptly forward to Lender a copy of each written notice received by Borrower of any modification, reduction or cancellation of any of the Policies or of any of the coverages afforded under any of the Policies.
(e)    Any blanket insurance Policy shall provide the same protection as would a separate Policy insuring only the Property in compliance with the provisions of Section (a) hereof.
(f)    All Policies provided for or contemplated by Section (a) hereof, shall name Borrower as a named insured and, in the case of liability policies, except for the Policy referenced in Section 6.1(a)(vi) and (vii) of this Agreement, shall name Lender as its successors and/or assigns as the additional insured, as its interests may appear, and in the case of property policies, including but not limited to terrorism, boiler and machinery, flood and earthquake insurance, shall contain a

- 101 -


so-called New York standard non-contributing mortgagee clause in favor of Lender providing that the loss thereunder shall be payable to Lender.
(g)    All property Policies shall contain clauses or endorsements to the effect that:
(i)    no act or negligence of Borrower, or anyone acting for Borrower, or of any Tenant or other occupant, or failure to comply with the provisions of any Policy, which might otherwise result in a forfeiture of the insurance or any part thereof, or foreclosure or similar action, shall in any way affect the validity or enforceability of the insurance insofar as Lender is concerned;
(ii)    the Policy shall not be canceled and, if commercially available, materially changed (other than to increase the coverage provided thereby) without at least thirty (30) days’ written notice to Lender , except ten (10) days’ notice for non-payment of premium;

(iv)    Lender shall not be liable for any Insurance Premiums thereon or subject to any assessments thereunder.
(h)    If at any time Lender is not in receipt of written evidence that all insurance required hereunder is in full force and effect, Lender shall have the right, without notice to Borrower, to take such action as Lender deems necessary to protect its interest in the Property, including, without limitation, the obtaining of such insurance coverage as Lender in its sole discretion deems appropriate after ten (10) days’ notice to Borrower if prior to the date upon which any such coverage will lapse or at any time Lender deems necessary (regardless of prior notice to Borrower) to avoid the lapse of any such coverage. All premiums incurred by Lender in connection with such action or in obtaining such insurance and keeping it in effect shall be paid by Borrower to Lender upon demand and, until paid, shall be secured by the Mortgage and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.
Section 6.2    Casualty. If the Property shall be damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty (a “Casualty”), Borrower shall give prompt written notice of damage in excess of the Threshold Amount to Lender and shall, or shall cause Operating Company to, promptly commence and diligently prosecute the completion of the Restoration of the Property pursuant to Section 6.4 hereof as nearly as possible to the condition the Property was in immediately prior to such Casualty, with such alterations as may be reasonably approved by Lender and otherwise in accordance with Section 6.4 hereof. Borrower shall pay all costs of such Restoration whether or not such costs are covered by insurance. Lender may, but shall not be obligated to make proof of loss if not made promptly by Borrower. In addition, Lender may participate in any settlement discussions with any insurance companies (and shall approve the final settlement, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) with respect to any Casualty in which the Net Proceeds or the costs of completing the Restoration are equal to or greater than the Threshold Amount and Borrower shall, or shall cause Operating Company to, deliver to Lender all instruments required by Lender to permit such participation.

- 102 -

Lender may participate in any such proceedings, and Borrower shall, or shall cause Operating Company to, from time to time deliver to Lender all instruments requested by it to permit such participation. Borrower shall, or shall cause Operating Company to, at its expense, diligently prosecute any such proceedings, and shall consult with Lender, its attorneys and experts, and cooperate with them in the carrying on or defense of any such proceedings. Notwithstanding any taking by any public or quasi-public authority through Condemnation or otherwise (including, but not limited to, any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of the exercise of such taking), Borrower shall continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided for its payment in the Note and in this Agreement and the Debt shall not be reduced until any Award shall have been actually received and applied by Lender, after the deduction of expenses of collection, to the reduction or discharge of the Debt. Lender shall not be limited to the interest paid on the Award by the condemning authority but shall be entitled to receive out of the Award interest at the rate or rates provided herein or in the Note. If the Property or any portion thereof is taken by a condemning authority, Borrower shall, or shall cause Operating Company to, promptly commence and diligently prosecute the Restoration of the Property pursuant to Section 6.4 hereof and otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 6.4 hereof. If the Property is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Lender of the Award, Lender shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Note shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive the Award, or a portion thereof sufficient to pay the Debt.
(l)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, if the Loan or any portion thereof is included in a REMIC Trust and, immediately following a release of any portion of the Lien of the Mortgage in connection with a Condemnation of the Property (but taking into account any proposed Restoration on the remaining portion of the Property) (based solely on real property and excluding any personal property or going concern value), the Loan-to-Value Ratio is greater than 125% (such value to be determined, in Lender’s sole discretion, by any commercially reasonable method permitted to a REMIC Trust), the principal balance of the Loan must prepaid down by an amount not less than the least of the following amounts: (i) the Condemnation Proceeds, (ii) the fair market value of the released property at the time of the release, or (iii) an amount such that the Loan-to-Value Ratio (as so determined by Lender) does not increase after the release, unless Lender receives an opinion of counsel that if such amount is not paid, the Securitization will not fail to maintain its status as a REMIC Trust as a result of the related release of such portion of the Lien of the Mortgage. Any such prepayment shall be deemed a voluntary prepayment and shall be subject to Section 2.4.1 hereof (other than the requirements to prepay the Debt in full and provide thirty (30) days’ notice to Lender).
Section 6.4    Restoration. The following provisions shall apply in connection with the Restoration of the Property:
(e)    If the Net Proceeds shall be less than the Threshold Amount and the costs of completing the Restoration shall be less than the Threshold Amount, the Net Proceeds will be

- 103 -

(f)    If the Net Proceeds are equal to or greater than the Threshold Amount or the costs of completing the Restoration is equal to or greater than the Threshold Amount, Lender shall make the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4. The term “Net Proceeds” for purposes of this Section 6.4 shall mean: (i) the net amount of all insurance proceeds received by Lender pursuant to Section 6.1(a)(i), (iv), (ix) and (x) as a result of such damage or destruction, after deduction of its reasonable costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable counsel fees), if any, in collecting same (“Insurance Proceeds”), or (ii) the net amount of the Award, after deduction of its reasonable costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable counsel fees), if any, in collecting same (“Condemnation Proceeds”), whichever the case may be.
(i)    The Net Proceeds shall be made available to Borrower for Restoration provided that each of the following conditions are met:
(A)    no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;
(B)    (1) in the event the Net Proceeds are Insurance Proceeds, less than twenty-five percent (25%) of the total floor area of the Improvements on the Property has been damaged, destroyed or rendered unusable as a result of such Casualty or (2) in the event the Net Proceeds are Condemnation Proceeds, less than ten percent (10%) of the land constituting the Property is taken, and such land is located along the perimeter or periphery of the Property, and no portion of the Improvements is located on such land;
(C)    Borrower shall cause the applicable Operating Lease to remain in full force and effect following any Casualty or Condemnation;
(D)    Borrower shall, or shall cause Operating Company to, commence the Restoration as soon as reasonably practicable (but in no event later than sixty (60) days after such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, occurs) and shall, or shall cause Operating Company to, diligently pursue the same to satisfactory completion and in accordance with the terms of the applicable Franchise Agreement;
(E)    Lender shall be satisfied that any operating deficits, including all scheduled payments of principal and interest under the Note and Mezzanine Debt Service, which will be incurred with respect to the Property as a result of the occurrence of any such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, will be covered out of (1) the Net Proceeds, (2) the insurance coverage referred to in Section 6.1(ii) hereof, if applicable, or (3) by other funds of Borrower;

- 104 -


(F)    Lender shall be satisfied that the Restoration will be completed on or before the earliest to occur of (1) six (6) months prior to the Maturity Date (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall include any Extension Option exercised in accordance with the terms of Section 2.3.3(b) prior to the date of the Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be), (2) the earliest date required for such completion under the terms of any Leases or the Submerged Land Lease, (3) such time as may be required under all applicable Legal Requirements in order to repair and restore the Property to the condition it was in immediately prior to such Casualty or to as nearly as possible the condition it was in immediately prior to such Condemnation, as applicable, or (4) the expiration of the insurance coverage referred to in Section 6.1(ii) hereof;
(G)    the Property and the use thereof after the Restoration will be in compliance with and permitted under all applicable Legal Requirements;
(H)    the Restoration shall be done and completed by Borrower in an expeditious and diligent fashion and in compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements;
(I)    such Casualty or Condemnation, as applicable, does not result in the loss of access to the Property or the Improvements;
(J)    the Debt Yield for the Property, after giving effect to the Restoration, shall be equal to or exceed eight and nine-tenths percent (8.9%);
(K)    Borrower shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Lender a signed detailed budget approved in writing by Borrower’s architect or engineer stating the entire cost of completing the Restoration, which budget shall be subject to Lender’s approval; and
(L)    the Net Proceeds together with any cash or cash equivalent deposited by Borrower with Lender are sufficient in Lender’s discretion to cover the cost of the Restoration.
(ii)    The Net Proceeds shall be held by Lender in an interest-bearing Eligible Account and, until disbursed in accordance with the provisions of this Section (b), shall constitute additional security for the Debt and Other Obligations under the Loan Documents. The Net Proceeds shall be disbursed by Lender to, or as directed by, Borrower from time to time during the course of the Restoration, upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to Lender that (A) all materials installed and work and labor performed (except to the extent that they are to be paid for out of the requested disbursement) in connection with the Restoration have been paid for in full, and (B) there exist no notices of pendency, stop orders, mechanic’s or materialman’s liens or notices of intention to file same, or any other liens or encumbrances of any nature whatsoever on the Property which have not either been fully bonded to the satisfaction of Lender and discharged of record or in the alternative fully insured to the satisfaction of Lender by the title company issuing the Title Insurance Policy.

- 105 -


(iii)    All plans and specifications required in connection with the Restoration shall be subject to prior review and acceptance in all respects by Lender in its reasonable discretion and by an independent consulting engineer selected by Lender (the “Casualty Consultant”). Lender shall have the use of the plans and specifications and all permits, licenses and approvals required or obtained in connection with the Restoration. The identity of the contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration, as well as the contracts under which they have been engaged, shall be subject to prior review and reasonable approval by Lender and the Casualty Consultant. All costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with making the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration including, without limitation, reasonable counsel fees and disbursements and the Casualty Consultant’s fees, shall be paid by Borrower.
(iv)    In no event shall Lender be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds in excess of an amount equal to the costs actually incurred from time to time for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, minus the Casualty Retainage. The term “Casualty Retainage” shall mean an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the costs actually incurred for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, until the Restoration has been completed. The Casualty Retainage shall in no event, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above in this Section (b), be less than the amount actually held back by Borrower, or Operating Company, as applicable, from contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration. The Casualty Retainage shall not be released until the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section (b) and that all approvals necessary for the re-occupancy and use of the Property have been obtained from all appropriate governmental and quasi-governmental authorities, and Lender receives evidence satisfactory to Lender that the costs of the Restoration have been paid in full or will be paid in full out of the Casualty Retainage; provided, however, that Lender will release the portion of the Casualty Retainage being held with respect to any contractor, subcontractor or materialman engaged in the Restoration as of the date upon which the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the contractor, subcontractor or materialman has satisfactorily completed all work and has supplied all materials in accordance with the provisions of the contractor’s, subcontractor’s or materialman’s contract, the contractor, subcontractor or materialman delivers the lien waivers and evidence of payment in full of all sums due to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman as may be reasonably requested by Lender or by the title company issuing the Title Insurance Policy, and Lender receives, to the extent available in the applicable jurisdiction, an endorsement to the Title Insurance Policy insuring the continued priority of the lien of the Mortgage and evidence of payment of any premium payable for such endorsement. If required by Lender, the release of any such portion of the Casualty Retainage shall be approved by the surety company, if any, which has issued a payment or performance bond with respect to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman.
(v)    Lender shall not be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds more frequently than once every calendar month.

- 106 -


(vi)    If at any time the Net Proceeds or the undisbursed balance thereof shall not, in the opinion of Lender in consultation with the Casualty Consultant, be sufficient to pay in full the balance of the costs which are estimated by the Casualty Consultant to be incurred in connection with the completion of the Restoration, Borrower shall deposit the deficiency (the “Net Proceeds Deficiency”) with Lender before any further disbursement of the Net Proceeds shall be made. The Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender shall be held by Lender and shall be disbursed for costs actually incurred in connection with the Restoration on the same conditions applicable to the disbursement of the Net Proceeds, and until so disbursed pursuant to this Section (b) shall constitute additional security for the Debt and Other Obligations under the Loan Documents.
(vii)    The excess, if any, of the Net Proceeds (and the remaining balance, if any, of the Net Proceeds Deficiency) deposited with Lender after the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section (b), and the receipt by Lender of evidence satisfactory to Lender that all costs incurred in connection with the Restoration have been paid in full, shall be deposited in the Cash Management Account to be disbursed in accordance with this Agreement, provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and shall be continuing under the Note, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents and no Mezzanine Loan Default shall have occurred and be continuing.
(g)    All Net Proceeds not required (i) to be made available for the Restoration or (ii) to be returned to Borrower as excess Net Proceeds pursuant to Section (b)(vii) hereof may be retained and applied by Lender toward the payment of the Debt in accordance with Section 2.4.2 hereof, whether or not then due and payable in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall deem proper, or, at the discretion of Lender, the same may be paid, either in whole or in part, to Borrower for such purposes as Lender shall approve, in its discretion.
(h)    In the event of foreclosure of the Mortgage, or other transfer of title of the Property in extinguishment in whole or in part of the Debt all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to the Policies that are not blanket Policies then in force concerning the Property and all proceeds payable thereunder shall thereupon vest in the purchaser at such foreclosure or Lender or other transferee in the event of such other transfer of title.
(i)    Following any Casualty or Condemnation, Lender shall notify Borrower whether or not Net Proceeds are required to be made available to Borrower for a Restoration pursuant to this Section 6.4 (or, if the same are not required to be made available to Borrower for Restoration pursuant to this Section 6.4, whether Lender will nevertheless make the same available, which election Lender may make in its sole discretion). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event Net Proceeds are applied to the Debt and such Net Proceeds are not sufficient to repay the Debt in its entirety, provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower shall have the right, to be exercised by Borrower, if at all, by written notice within fifteen (15) days after the date on which Borrower has knowledge of Lender’s application of the Net Proceeds to the Debt (or intent to do so), to prepay the Debt in full and obtain the release of the Property from the lien of the Mortgage and related Loan Documents, provided, that, (i) Borrower shall have satisfied

- 107 -


the requirements of Section 2.4.1 hereof (except with respect to any requirement to pay a Spread Maintenance Payment), and (ii) Borrower shall make such prepayment of the Debt in full on or before the date that is sixty (60) days after the date Borrower has knowledge of Lender’s application of the Net Proceeds to the Debt (or intent to do so).

Section 8.2    Remedies. 23.%2.%3.%4. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, all or any one or more of the rights, powers, privileges and other remedies available to Lender against Borrower and Operating Company under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents executed and delivered by, or applicable to, Borrower and Operating Company, as applicable, or at law or in equity may be exercised by Lender at any time and from time to time, whether or not all or any of the Debt shall be declared due and payable, and whether or not Lender shall have commenced any foreclosure proceeding or other action for the enforcement of its rights and remedies under any of the Loan Documents with respect to all or any part of the Property. Any such actions taken by Lender shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singularly, successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may

- 120 -


determine in its sole discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender permitted by law, equity or contract or as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower agrees that if an Event of Default is continuing (i) Lender is not subject to any “one action” or “election of remedies” law or rule, and (ii) all liens and other rights, remedies or privileges provided to Lender shall remain in full force and effect until Lender has exhausted all of its remedies against the Property and the Mortgage has been foreclosed, sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Debt or the Debt has been paid in full.
(a)    With respect to Borrower, Operating Company and the Property, nothing contained herein or in any other Loan Document shall be construed as requiring Lender to resort to the Property for the satisfaction of any of the Debt in any preference or priority, and Lender may seek satisfaction out of the Property, or any part thereof, in its absolute discretion in respect of the Debt. In addition, Lender shall have the right from time to time to partially foreclose the Mortgage in any manner and for any amounts secured by the Mortgage then due and payable as determined by Lender in its sole discretion including, without limitation, the following circumstances: (i) in the event Borrower defaults beyond any applicable grace period in the payment of one or more scheduled payments of principal and interest, Lender may foreclose the Mortgage to recover such delinquent payments or (ii) in the event Lender elects to accelerate less than the entire outstanding principal balance of the Loan, Lender may foreclose the Mortgage to recover so much of the principal balance of the Loan as Lender may accelerate and such other sums secured by the Mortgage as Lender may elect. Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, the Property shall remain subject to the Mortgage to secure payment of sums secured by the Mortgage and not previously recovered.
(b)    Lender shall have the right from time to time to sever the Note and the other Loan Documents into one or more separate notes, mortgages and other security documents (the “Severed Loan Documents”) in such denominations as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion for purposes of evidencing and enforcing its rights and remedies provided hereunder. Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender from time to time, promptly after the request of Lender, a severance agreement and such other documents as Lender shall request in order to effect the severance described in the preceding sentence, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender. Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints (and shall cause Operating Company so to appoint) Lender as its true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in its name and stead to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect the aforesaid severance, Borrower ratifying (and shall cause Operating Company so to ratify) all that its said attorney shall do by virtue thereof; provided, however, Lender shall not make or execute any such documents under such power until three (3) days after notice has been given to Borrower and Operating Company by Lender of Lender’s intent to exercise its rights under such power. Borrower shall be obligated to pay any costs or expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, execution, recording or filing of the Severed Loan Documents and the Severed Loan Documents shall not contain any representations, warranties or covenants not contained in the Loan Documents and any such representations and warranties contained in the Severed Loan Documents will be given by Borrower only as of the Closing Date.

- 121 -


(c)    As used in this Section 8.2, a “foreclosure” shall include, without limitation, any sale by power of sale.
Section 8.3    Remedies Cumulative; Waivers. The rights, powers and remedies of Lender under this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which Lender may have against Borrower or Operating Company pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or existing at law or in equity or otherwise. Lender’s rights, powers and remedies may be pursued singularly, concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in Lender’s sole discretion. No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of Default shall impair any such remedy, right or power or shall be construed as a waiver thereof, but any such remedy, right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. A waiver of one Default or Event of Default with respect to Borrower shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default by Borrower or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon.

Section 10.13    Expenses; Indemnity. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, 28.%2.%3.%4. Borrower covenants and agrees to pay or, if Borrower fails to pay, to reimburse, Lender upon receipt of written notice from Lender for all (i) reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by Lender in connection with (A) the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and all the costs of furnishing all opinions by counsel for Borrower and Operating Company (including without limitation any opinions requested by Lender as to any legal matters arising under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents with respect to the Property); (B) Borrower’s and Operating Company’s ongoing performance of and compliance with Borrower’s and Operating Company’s respective agreements and covenants contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on its part to be performed or complied with after the Closing Date, including, without limitation, confirming compliance with environmental and insurance requirements; (C) Lender’s ongoing performance and compliance with all agreements and conditions contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on its part to be performed or complied with after the Closing Date; (D) the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and administration of any consents, amendments, waivers or other modifications to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and

Any cost and expenses due and payable to Lender may be paid from any amounts in the Lockbox Account or Cash Management Account, as applicable.
(a)    Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Indemnified Parties from and against any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding commenced or threatened, whether or not an Indemnified Party shall be designated a party thereto), that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against any Indemnified Party in any manner relating to or arising out of (i) any breach by Borrower of its obligations under, or any material misrepresentation by Borrower contained in, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or (ii) the use or intended use of the proceeds of the Loan (collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided, however, that Borrower shall not have any obligation to any Indemnified Party hereunder to the extent that such Indemnified Liabilities arise from the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, defend and hold harmless set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it violates any law or public policy, Borrower shall pay the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by the Indemnified Parties.
(b)    Borrower covenants and agrees to pay for or, if Borrower fails to pay, to reimburse Lender for, any fees and expenses incurred by any Rating Agency in connection with any consent, approval, waiver or confirmation obtained from such Rating Agency pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document and Lender shall be entitled

- 134 -


to require payment of such fees and expenses as a condition precedent to the obtaining of any such consent, approval, waiver or confirmation.
Section 10.14    Schedules Incorporated. The Schedules annexed hereto are hereby incorporated herein as a part of this Agreement with the same effect as if set forth in the body hereof.
Section 10.15    Offsets, Counterclaims and Defenses. Any assignee of Lender’s interest in and to this Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents shall take the same free and clear of all offsets, counterclaims or defenses which are unrelated to such documents which Borrower may otherwise have against any assignor of such documents, and no such unrelated counterclaim or defense shall be interposed or asserted by Borrower in any action or proceeding brought by any such assignee upon such documents and any such right to interpose or assert any such unrelated offset, counterclaim or defense in any such action or proceeding is hereby expressly waived by Borrower.
Section 10.16    No Joint Venture or Partnership; No Third Party Beneficiaries. 29.%2.%3.%4. Borrower and Lender intend that the relationships created hereunder and under the other Loan Documents be solely that of borrower and lender.

(b)    This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are solely for the benefit of Lender and Borrower and nothing contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to confer upon anyone other than Lender and Borrower any right to insist upon or to enforce the performance or observance of any of the obligations contained herein or therein. All conditions to the obligations of Lender to make the Loan hereunder are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of Lender and no other Person shall have standing to require satisfaction of such conditions in accordance with their terms or be entitled to assume that Lender will refuse to make the Loan in the absence of strict compliance with any or all thereof and no other Person shall under any circumstances be deemed to be a beneficiary of such conditions, any or all of which may be freely waived in whole or in part by Lender if, in Lender’s sole discretion, Lender deems it advisable or desirable to do so.
Section 10.17    Publicity. All news releases, publicity or advertising by Borrower or its Affiliates through any media intended to reach the general public which refers to the Loan Documents or the financing evidenced by the Loan Documents, to Lender, JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, or any of their Affiliates shall be subject to the prior written approval of Lender and JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association in their sole discretion.

- 135 -


Borrower’s and Operating Company’s respective partners and others with interests in Borrower or Operating Company, as applicable, and of the Property, and agrees not to assert any right under any laws pertaining to the marshalling of assets, the sale in inverse order of alienation, homestead exemption, the administration of estates of decedents, or any other matters whatsoever to defeat, reduce or affect the right of Lender under the Loan Documents to a sale of the Property for the collection of the Debt without any prior or different resort for collection or of the right of Lender to the payment of the Debt out of the net proceeds of the Property in preference to every other claimant whatsoever.
Section 10.19    Waiver of Counterclaim. Borrower hereby waives the right to assert a counterclaim, other than a compulsory counterclaim, in any action or proceeding brought against it by Lender or its agents.
Section 10.20    Conflict; Construction of Documents; Reliance. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Agreement shall control.

Borrower acknowledges that, with respect to the Loan, Borrower shall rely solely on its own judgment and advisors in entering into the Loan without relying in any manner on any statements, representations or recommendations of Lender or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender. Lender shall not be subject to any limitation whatsoever in the exercise of any rights or remedies available to it under any of the Loan Documents or any other agreements or instruments which govern the Loan by virtue of the ownership by it or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender of any equity interest any of them may acquire in Borrower, and Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to raise any defense or take any action on the basis of the foregoing with respect to Lender’s exercise of any such rights or remedies.

Section 10.21    Brokers and Financial Advisors. Borrower hereby represents that it has dealt with no financial advisors, brokers, underwriters, placement agents, agents or finders other than Eastdil Secured (“Broker”) in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

The provisions of this Section 10.21 shall survive the expiration and termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Debt. Borrower acknowledges that Lender may be paying Broker, at its sole cost and expense, a servicing strip in connection with certain of the sub-servicing activities to be performed by Broker following the closing of the Loan.

- 136 -


Section 10.22    Prior Agreements. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents contain the entire agreement of the parties hereto and thereto in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and all prior agreements among or between such parties, whether oral or written, between Borrower and Lender are superseded by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
Section 10.23    Joint and Several Liability. If Borrower consists of more than one (1) Person the obligations and liabilities of each Person shall be joint and several.
Section 10.24    Certain Additional Rights of Lender (VCOC). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Lender shall have:
(a)    the right to routinely consult with and advise Borrower’s management regarding the significant business activities and business and financial developments of Borrower; provided, however, that such consultations shall not include discussions of environmental compliance programs or disposal of hazardous substances. Consultation meetings should occur on a regular basis (no less frequently than quarterly) with Lender having the right to call special meetings at any reasonable times and upon reasonable advance notice;
(b)    the right, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, to examine the books and records of Borrower and Operating Company at any reasonable times upon reasonable notice;
