(b) 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 by telephone of such fact, confirmed in writing, to Borrower at least one (1) Business Day prior to the last day of the Interest Period in which such fact shall be determined. If such notice is given, the Loan shall be converted, from and after the first day of the next succeeding Interest Period, to a Prime Rate Loan.
(c) If, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, any portion of the Loan has been converted to a Prime Rate Loan and Lender shall determine that the event(s) or circumstance(s) which resulted in such conversion shall no longer be applicable, Lender may give notice thereof to Borrower and convert the Prime Rate Loan back to a Floating Interest Rate Loan by delivering to Borrower notice of such conversion no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City Time), three (3) Business Days prior to the first day of the next succeeding Interest Period, in which event the Prime Rate Loan shall be converted to a Floating Interest Rate Loan from, after and including the first day of the next succeeding Interest Period. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall Borrower have the right to elect to convert a Floating Interest Rate Loan to a Prime Rate Loan.
(d) With respect to a Floating Interest Rate Loan, all payments made by Borrower to a Lender hereunder shall be made free and clear of, and without reduction for or on account of, income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions,
-35-
reserves or withholdings imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority, which are imposed, enacted or become effective after the date such Lender acquires its interest in the Loan (or designates a new lending office in a different jurisdiction), excluding (i) income and franchise taxes of the United States of America or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (including Puerto Rico), or of the jurisdiction under the laws of which such Lender is organized or in which its principal office or lending office is located; (ii) any branch profits taxes imposed by the United States of America, or any similar tax imposed by any other jurisdiction described in clause (i) above; and (iii) in the case of a Foreign Lender, any withholding tax that is in effect and would apply to amounts payable to such Foreign Lender at the time such Foreign Lender acquires its interest in the Loan (or designates a new lending office in a different jurisdiction) and any withholding tax that would not be due but for such Foreign Lender’s failure to comply with the requirements of Section 2.2.3(e) hereof (all such non-excluded taxes being referred to collectively as “Foreign Taxes”). If any Foreign Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to Lender hereunder, the amounts so payable to such Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to such Lender (after payment of all Foreign Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rate or in the amounts such Lender would have received had no such Foreign Taxes been withheld. Whenever any Foreign Tax is payable pursuant to applicable law by Borrower, as promptly as possible thereafter, Borrower shall send to Lender an original official receipt, if available, or certified copy thereof showing payment of such Foreign Tax. Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify Lender for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by Lender which may result from any failure by Borrower to pay any such Foreign Tax when due to the appropriate taxing authority or any failure by Borrower to remit to Lender the required receipts or other required documentary evidence.
(e) Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of any jurisdiction that imposes any Foreign Tax with respect to payments under this Agreement, or under any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party shall deliver to Borrower, at Borrower’s cost, at the time or times prescribed by applicable law, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by Borrower as will permit any payments with respect to the Floating Interest Rate Loan to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate.
(f) If any requirement of law or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof, shall hereafter make it unlawful for Lender to make or maintain a Floating Interest Rate Loan as contemplated hereunder, (i) the obligation of Lender hereunder to make a Floating Interest Rate Loan or to convert a Prime Rate Loan to a Floating Interest Rate Loan shall 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.
-36-
(g) 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; 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;
then, in any such case, Borrower shall promptly pay Lender, upon demand, any additional amounts 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; provided, however, this Section 2.2.3(g) shall not apply to any additional cost or reduced amount receivable related to any income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions, reserves or withholdings, which shall be covered solely under Section 2.2.3(d) above. If Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.2.3(g), Lender shall provide Borrower with not less than sixty (60) 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 2.2.3(i) 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.
(h) 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
-37-
(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 actually obtained by it in order to maintain a Floating Interest Rate Loan hereunder, including “prepayment interest shortfalls” in a Securitization (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 of Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
(i) Lender shall not be entitled to claim compensation pursuant to this Section 2.2.3 for any Foreign Taxes, increased cost or reduction in amounts received or receivable hereunder, or any reduced rate of return, which was incurred or which accrued more than ninety (90) days before the date Lender notified Borrower of the change in law or other 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 additional amounts owed to Lender under this Section 2.2.3, which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error.
2.2.4 Additional Costs. 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 other 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 overdue 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 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
-38-
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. (a) Prior to or contemporaneously with the Closing Date, Borrower shall enter into an Interest Rate Cap Agreement with respect to each Component of the Loan, which Interest Rate Cap Agreement shall have components corresponding to each Component of the Loan each with a LIBOR strike price equal to the Strike Price of its related Component of the Loan. 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 remains outstanding, provided that the Debt shall be deemed to be outstanding if the Properties are 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) each component of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement shall at all times have a notional amount equal to or greater than the principal balance of the related Component of the Loan; provided, however, that the notional amount of each component of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement may be reduced from time to time to equal the outstanding principal balance of the related Component in connection with any prepayment of the principal of any of the Components of the Loan in accordance with Section 2.4.1 hereof. Borrower shall collaterally assign to Lender, pursuant to the Collateral Assignment of Interest Rate Cap Agreement (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. At such time as the Loan is repaid in full, all of Lender’s right, title and interest in the Interest Rate Cap Agreement shall terminate and Lender shall execute and deliver such documents as may be required to evidence Lender’s release of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement and to notify the Counterparty of such release.
(b) 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 immediately 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.
(c) In the event of any downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the rating of the Acceptable Counterparty by any 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.
-39-
(d) 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 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.
(e) 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 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).

Section 2.3 Loan Payment.
2.3.1 Monthly Debt Service Payments. Borrower shall pay to Lender (a) on the Closing Date, an amount equal to interest only on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan from the Closing Date up to and including December, 31, 2002, which interest shall be calculated in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.2 hereof and (b) on each Payment Date commencing on February 1, 2003 and on each Payment Date thereafter up to and including the Maturity Date, Borrower shall make a payment to Lender equal to the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount, which payments shall be applied first to interest due for the related Interest Period at the Floating Interest Rate or Prime Rate plus the Prime Rate Spread, as applicable, for such related Interest Period and then to the principal amount of the Loan due in accordance with this Agreement, and lastly, to any other amounts due and unpaid pursuant to the Loan Documents hereto.
2.3.2 Payments Generally. The first Interest Period hereunder shall commence on and include the Closing Date and shall end on and include December 31, 2002. Thereafter, each Interest Period shall commence on the first day of each calendar month during the term of this Agreement and shall end on and include the final calendar date of such calendar month. For purposes of making payments hereunder, but not for purposes of calculating Interest Periods, if the day on which such payment is due is not a Business Day, then amounts due on such date shall be due on the immediately preceding Business Day and with respect to payments of principal due on the Maturity Date, interest shall be payable at the Interest Rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, through and including the last day of the related Interest Period. All amounts due under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be payable without setoff, counterclaim, defense or any other deduction whatsoever.
2.3.3 Payment on Maturity Date. Borrower shall pay to Lender on the Maturity Date the outstanding principal balance of the Loan, all accrued and unpaid interest and all other amounts due hereunder and under the Note, the Mortgages and the other Loan Documents.
2.3.4 Late Payment Charge. If any principal, interest or any other sums due under the Loan Documents (including the amounts due on the Maturity Date) are not paid by Borrower on or prior to the date on which it is due, Borrower shall pay to Lender upon demand an amount equal to the lesser of three percent (3%) of such unpaid sum or the Maximum Legal Rate in order to defray the expense incurred by Lender in handling and processing such delinquent payment and to compensate Lender for the loss of the use of such delinquent payment. Any such amount shall be secured by the Mortgages and the other Loan Documents to the extent permitted by applicable law.
2.3.5 Method and Place of Payment. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all payments and prepayments under this Agreement and the Note shall be made to Lender not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date when due and shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately available funds at Lender’s office or as otherwise directed in writing by Lender at least three (3) Business Days prior to such date by Lender, and any funds received by Lender after such time shall, for all purposes hereof, be deemed to have been paid on the next succeeding Business Day.
-41-
Section 2.4 Prepayments.
2.4.1 Voluntary Prepayments. (a) Except (i) in connection with a Deleveraging Prepayment and/or a CSFB Assets Prepayment, and (ii) as otherwise provided in Section 2.4.2, Borrower shall not have the right to prepay the Loan in whole or in part prior to the Prepayment Release Date.
(b) Borrower may voluntarily prepay the Loan in whole or in part if prepayment is made in connection with either (x) a Deleveraging Prepayment, (y) on and after the Prepayment Release Date, Section 2.6.2(e)(ii)(A) hereof, or (z) on and after the Prepayment Release Date, the release of any Individual Property as provided in Section 2.5.2 hereof, provided that (i) no Event of Default exists; (ii) Lender has received from Borrower all information reasonably requested by Lender relating to any such prepayment, (iii) Borrower gives Lender not less than fifteen (15) days prior written notice of the amount of the Loan that Borrower intends to prepay and such notice is delivered to Lender after Lender’s receipt of the information required pursuant to subsection (ii) above; and (iv) Borrower pays Lender, in addition to the outstanding principal amount of the Loan to be prepaid, (A) 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 the last day of the Interest Period related to such Payment Date; (B) all other sums 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 costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees and disbursements) incurred by Lender in connection with such prepayment; and (C) if such prepayment is made prior to January 1, 2006, the Prepayment Premium or the Deleveraging Premium, as applicable; provided that if the Deleveraging Premium is required to be paid, Borrower shall not be required to pay the additional Prepayment Premium. If a notice of prepayment is given by Borrower to Lender pursuant to this Section 2.4.1(b), the amount designated for prepayment and all other sums required under this Section 2.4 shall be due and payable on the proposed prepayment date. Upon such a prepayment, the amount of principal due each month shall be recomputed based upon a level payment of principal and interest based upon the aggregate outstanding principal balances of the Loan, the Mezzanine Loan and the Junior Mezzanine Loan remaining following such prepayment, a debt service constant equal to seven and one-quarter percent (7.25%) and an amortization schedule of three hundred (300) months less the number of months (a) from the first (1st) day of the calendar month following the Closing Date to the date of such prepayment or (b) if the Closing Date is the first (1st) day of a calendar month, from the Closing Date to the date of such prepayment. Amortization shall be calculated based on a thirty (30) day month and a three hundred sixty (360) day year accrual period. Such level payment of principal and interest shall be used only for purpose of recalculating the amortization schedule. Lender’s determination of such recalculated payment shall be binding and conclusive on Borrower.
2.4.2 Mandatory Prepayments. On the next occurring Payment Date following the date on which Lender actually receives any Net Proceeds, if Lender is not obligated to make such Net Proceeds available to Borrower for the Restoration of any Individual Property or otherwise remit such Net Proceeds to Borrower pursuant to Section 6.4 hereof, Borrower shall prepay or authorize Lender to apply such Net Proceeds as a prepayment of all or
-42-
a portion of the outstanding principal balance of the Loan together with accrued interest and any other sums due hereunder in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of such Net Proceeds; provided, however, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender may apply such Net Proceeds to the Debt (until paid in full) in any order or priority in its sole discretion. Other than following an Event of Default, no Spread Maintenance Payment or Prepayment Premium shall be due in connection with any prepayment made pursuant to this Section 2.4.2. The Release Amount with respect to the affected Individual Property shall be reduced in an amount equal to the principal portion of such prepayment. Upon such a prepayment, the amount of principal due each month shall be recomputed based upon a level payment of principal and interest based upon the aggregate outstanding principal balances of the Loan, the Mezzanine Loan and the Junior Mezzanine Loan remaining following such prepayment, a debt service constant equal to seven and one-quarter percent (7.25%) and an amortization schedule of three hundred (300) months less the number of months from the first (1st) day of the calendar month following the Closing Date to the date of such prepayment. Amortization shall be calculated based on a thirty (30) day month and a three hundred sixty (360) day year accrual period.
2.4.3 Prepayments After Default. If, following an Event of Default, payment of all or any part of the Debt is tendered by Borrower or otherwise recovered by Lender (including, without limitation, through application of any Reserve Funds), such tender or recovery shall (a) include interest at the Default Rate on the outstanding principal amount of the Loan through the last calendar day of the Interest Period within which such tender or recovery occurs and (b) be deemed a voluntary prepayment by Borrower (and if such tender or recovery occurs prior to the Prepayment Release Date, it shall be in violation of the prohibition against prepayment set forth in Section 2.4.1 hereof) and shall in all instances include (i) an amount equal to the applicable Prepayment Premium if such tender or recovery occurs prior to January 1, 2006 plus (ii) an amount equal to the Spread Maintenance Payment if such tender or recovery occurs prior to the Prepayment Release Date.
2.4.4 Application of Amortization and Prepayment to Components. With the exception of a Deleveraging Prepayment and a CSFB Assets Prepayment, any prepayment of the principal of the Loan, in whole or in part, and all amortization shall be applied (i) first, to the reduction of the outstanding principal balance of Component A-1 until reduced to zero, (ii) second, to the reduction of the outstanding principal balance of Component A-2 until reduced to zero, (iii) third, to the reduction of the outstanding principal balance of Component B until reduced to zero, (iv) fourth, to the reduction of the outstanding principal balance of Component C until reduced to zero, (v) fifth, to the reduction of the outstanding principal balance of Component D until reduced to zero, (vi) sixth, to the reduction of the outstanding principal balance of Component E until reduced to zero, (vii) seventh, to the reduction of the outstanding principal balance of Component F until reduced to zero, and (viii) eighth, to the reduction of the outstanding principal balance of Component G until reduced to zero; provided, however, notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to a Securitization, Lender reserves the right to change the sequence of such application among the Components. Once the Mezzanine Loan and the Junior Mezzanine Loan have been paid in full, a Deleveraging Prepayment shall be applied (i) first, to the reduction of the outstanding principal balance of Component G until reduced to zero, (ii) second, to the reduction of the outstanding principal balance of Component F until reduced to zero, (iii) third, to the reduction of the outstanding principal balance of Component E
-43-
until reduced to zero, (iv) fourth, to the reduction of the outstanding principal balance of Component D until reduced to zero, (v) fifth, to the reduction of the outstanding principal balance of Component C until reduced to zero, (vi) sixth, to the reduction of the outstanding principal balance of Component B until reduced to zero, (vii) seventh, to the reduction of the outstanding principal balance of Component A-2 until reduced to zero, and (viii) eighth, to the reduction of the outstanding principal balance of Component A-1 until reduced to zero. A CSFB Assets Prepayment shall be applied on a pro-rata basis to each of the Junior Mezzanine Loan, the Mezzanine Loan and each of the Components of the Loan.
Section 2.5 Release of 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 any Lien of any Mortgage on any Individual Property.
2.5.1 Release of All Properties Upon Payment in Full.
(a) If Borrower has elected to prepay the entire Loan and the requirements of Section 2.4 and this Section 2.5 have been satisfied, all of the Properties shall be released from the Liens of their respective Mortgages and the Collateral shall be released from the Lien of the Pledge Agreements.
(b) In connection with the release of the Mortgages, 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 Collateral and for each Individual Property for execution by Lender. Such release shall be in a form appropriate in each jurisdiction in which the Collateral and each Individual 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, to such officer’s knowledge after diligent inquiry, such documentation (i) is in compliance with all Legal Requirements, and (ii) will effect such releases in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
2.5.2 Release of Individual Property. If Borrower has elected to prepay a portion of the Loan and (x) the requirements of Section 2.4 and this Section 2.5 have been satisfied, (y) such prepayment was not a Deleveraging Prepayment, and (z) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower may obtain the release of an Individual Property from the Lien of the Mortgage thereon (and related Loan Documents) and the release of Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Documents with respect to such Individual Property (other than those expressly stated to survive), upon the satisfaction of each of the following conditions:
(a) The amount of the outstanding principal balance of the Loan to be prepaid shall equal or exceed the Adjusted Release Amount for the applicable Individual Property, and such prepayment shall be deemed a voluntary prepayment for all purposes hereunder;
(b) Borrower shall submit to Lender, not less than thirty (30) days prior to the Payment Date on which the prepayment will be made, a release of Lien (and related Loan
-44-
Documents) for such Individual Property for execution by Lender. Such release shall be in a form appropriate in each jurisdiction in which the Individual 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, to such officer’s knowledge after diligent inquiry, such documentation (i) is in compliance with all Legal Requirements, (ii) will effect such release in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and (iii) will not impair or otherwise adversely affect the Liens, security interests and other rights of Lender under the Loan Documents not being released (or as to the parties to the Loan Documents and Properties subject to the Loan Documents not being released);
(c) After giving effect to such release (including the amount prepaid pursuant to Section 2.5.2(a) above), the Debt Service Coverage Ratio for the Properties then remaining subject to the Liens of the Mortgages shall be equal to the greater of (i) 1.20 to 1.0, and (ii) the Debt Service Coverage Ratio for all of the Properties securing the Loan immediately prior to such release (including any Individual Property to be released) for the twelve (12) full calendar months immediately preceding the release of the Individual Property;
(d) Borrower shall deliver to Lender evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that the single purpose nature and bankruptcy remoteness of Borrower following such release are not materially adversely affected by the release (which requirement may include an Additional Insolvency Opinion or a reaffirmation of the Insolvency Opinion satisfactory to Lender and the Rating Agencies);
(e) If requested by Lender, a “bring-down” or endorsement to each of the Title Insurance Policies insuring the continued priority of the Lien of each of the related Mortgages without any additional exceptions or conditions to any Title Insurance Policy not set forth therein as of the Closing Date unless otherwise approved by Lender;
(f) Borrower shall pay Lender a release fee of $10,000 and shall reimburse Lender for all legal fees and expenses incurred in connection with the release of the applicable Individual Property from the Lien of the related Mortgage;
(g) The Individual Property to be released shall be conveyed on market terms to a Person other than Borrower or any of its Affiliates pursuant to an arm’s-length transaction; and
(h) Concurrently with the payment of the Adjusted Release Amount, (i) Mezzanine Borrower shall make a partial prepayment of the Mezzanine Loan equal to the Mezzanine Release Amount applicable to such Individual Property, together with any related interest, fees or other amounts payable under the Mezzanine Loan Documents in connection with such prepayment, including, to the extent such prepayment is made on a date other than a Payment Date, interest which would have accrued on the outstanding principal balance of the Mezzanine Loan to the next Payment Date and (ii) Junior Mezzanine Borrower shall make a partial prepayment of the Junior Mezzanine Loan equal to the Junior Mezzanine Release Amount applicable to such Individual Property, together with any related interest, fees or other amounts
-45-
payable under the Junior Mezzanine Loan Documents in connection with such prepayment, including, to the extent such prepayment is made on a date other than a Payment Date, interest which would have accrued on the outstanding principal balance of the Junior Mezzanine Loan to the next Payment Date.
2.5.3 Release of Out Parcel.

(g) Borrower shall not further pledge, assign or grant any security interest in any Lockbox Account or the monies deposited therein or permit any lien or encumbrance to attach thereto, or any levy to be made thereon, or any UCC-1 Financing Statements, except those naming Lender as the secured party, to be filed with respect thereto.
(h) Borrower shall indemnify Lender and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all actions, suits, claims, demands, liabilities, losses, damages, obligations and costs and expenses (including litigation costs and reasonable attorneys fees and expenses) arising

2.6.2 Cash Management Account. (a) During the term of the Loan, Borrower shall establish and maintain a segregated Eligible Account (the “Cash Management Account”) to be held by Agent in trust and for the benefit of Lender, which Cash Management Account shall be under the sole dominion and control of Lender.

(b) The insufficiency of funds on deposit in the Cash Management Account shall not relieve Borrower from the obligation to make any payments, as and when due pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and such obligations shall be separate and independent, and not conditioned on any event or circumstance whatsoever. All funds on deposit in the Cash Management Account following the occurrence of an Event of Default may be applied by Lender in such order and priority as Lender shall determine.
(c) Borrower shall, or shall cause Operating Lessee to, require each Manager of each Individual Property that is not a Lockbox Property to promptly transfer all amounts payable to Borrower or Operating Lessee under the related Management Agreement and/or Franchise Agreement into the Cash Management Account throughout the term of the Loan.

-49-
Sweep Event”), Borrower shall (i) deposit with Lender all Excess Cash Flow in the Cash Management Account, or (ii) either (A) prepay the Loan in accordance with Section 2.4.1 hereof, or (B) deposit with Lender (1) a cash escrow (which cash escrow shall be held in the Cash Management Account) or (2) a Letter of Credit in the case of either (A) or (B) in an amount that would result in the achievement of the Default Determination Ratio for the preceding twelve (12) months based on the aggregate principal balances of the Loan, the Mezzanine Loan and the Junior Mezzanine Loan as reduced by an amount equal to such prepayment, Letter of Credit or cash escrow. Provided that no Event of Default, Mezzanine Loan Default or Junior Mezzanine Loan Default shall have occurred and be continuing, any funds escrowed in accordance with (i) or (ii)(B) of the preceding sentence or Letter of Credit delivered in accordance with clause (ii)(B)(2) of the preceding sentence shall be returned to Borrower if the Default Determination Ratio is achieved for two (2) consecutive DSCR Determination Dates without giving effect to any Letter of Credit or escrowed amounts; provided, however, such funds shall be so returned to Borrower no more than four (4) times during the term of the Loan. No Event of Default shall occur by reason of this Section 2.6.2(e) so long as Borrower deposits into the Cash Management Account the additional amounts required by this Section 2.6.2(e) and, provided that either of (A) or (B) of clause (ii) above is satisfied and no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no DSCR Excess Cash Sweep Event shall be deemed to have occurred. All such deposit amounts shall be treated as a “Reserve Fund” for purposes of Section 7.7 hereof. All additional amounts deposited under this Section 2.6.2(e) shall be additional security for the repayment of the Debt and may be withdrawn by Lender upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and applied by Lender in such order and priority as Lender may determine. All calculations of Debt Service Coverage Ratio shall be subject to verification by Lender.
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 the Cash Management Agreement (but exclusive of the amounts described in Section 2.6.2(e) above) on the dates each such payment is required, regardless of whether any of such amounts are so applied by Lender.
Section 2.7 Extension of the Initial Maturity Date. Borrower shall have the option to extend the term of the Loan beyond the Initial Maturity Date for two (2) successive terms (each, an “Extension Option”) of one (1) year each (the Initial Maturity Date following the exercise of each such option is hereinafter the “Extended Maturity Date”) upon satisfaction of the following terms and conditions:

4.1.1 Organization. Borrower has been duly organized and is validly existing and in good standing with requisite power and authority to own its properties and to transact the businesses in which it is now engaged. Borrower is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction where it is required to be so qualified in connection with its properties, businesses and operations. Borrower possesses all rights, licenses, permits and authorizations, governmental or otherwise, necessary to entitle it to own its properties and to transact the businesses in which it is now engaged, and the sole business of Borrower is the ownership, management and operation of the Properties. The ownership interests in Borrower are as set forth on the organizational chart attached hereto as Schedule IV.
4.1.2 Proceedings. Borrower has taken all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. This Agreement and such other Loan Documents have been duly executed and delivered by or on behalf of Borrower and constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of Borrower enforceable against Borrower in accordance with their respective terms, subject only to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting rights of creditors generally, and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law).
4.1.3 No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by Borrower will not conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of
-55-
any lien, charge or encumbrance (other than pursuant to the Loan Documents) upon any of the property or assets of Borrower pursuant to the terms of any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, partnership agreement, management agreement or other agreement or instrument to which Borrower is a party or by which any of Borrower’s property or assets is subject, nor will such action result in any violation of the provisions of any statute or any order, rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over Borrower or any of Borrower’s properties or assets, and any consent, approval, authorization, order, registration or qualification of or with any court or any such Governmental Authority required for the execution, delivery and performance by Borrower of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents has been obtained and is in full force and effect.
4.1.4 Litigation. There are no actions, suits or proceedings at law or in equity by or before any Governmental Authority now pending or threatened against or affecting Borrower, Guarantor or Operating Lessee, or, to Borrower’s knowledge, the Collateral or any Individual Property, which actions, suits or proceedings, if determined against Borrower, Guarantor, Operating Lessee, the Collateral or any Individual Property, would have a Material Adverse Effect.
4.1.5 Agreements. Borrower is not a party to any agreement or instrument or subject to any restriction which would have a Material Adverse Effect. Borrower is not in default in any material respect in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions contained in any agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which Borrower or any of the Properties is bound which default would have a Material Adverse Effect. Borrower has no material financial obligation under any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement or other agreement or instrument to which Borrower is a party or by which Borrower or the Properties are otherwise bound, other than (a) obligations incurred in the ordinary course of the operation of the Properties in accordance with the Loan Documents and (b) obligations under the Loan Documents.
4.1.6 Title. (a) Borrower has good, marketable and insurable fee simple title to the real property comprising part of each Individual Property and good title to the balance of such Individual Property, free and clear of all Liens whatsoever except the Permitted Encumbrances, such other Liens as are permitted pursuant to the Loan Documents and the Liens created by the Loan Documents. The Permitted Encumbrances in the aggregate do not have a Material Adverse Effect on the applicable Individual Property (as currently used) nor do they materially and adversely affect Borrower’s ability to repay the Loan. Each 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 (i) a valid, perfected first priority lien on the applicable Individual Property, subject only to Permitted Encumbrances and the Liens created by the Loan Documents and (ii) perfected security interests in and to, and perfected collateral assignments of, all personalty (including the Leases), all in accordance with the terms thereof, in each case subject only to any applicable Permitted Encumbrances, such other Liens as are permitted pursuant to the Loan Documents and the Liens created by the Loan Documents. Except as otherwise set forth in the Title Insurance Policies, there are no claims for payment for work, labor or materials affecting the Properties which are or, to Borrower’s knowledge, may become a Lien.
-56-
(b) The Pledgor under each Pledge Agreement is the record and beneficial owner of, and has good and marketable title to, the related Collateral, free and clear of all Liens whatsoever. Each Pledge Agreement, together with the UCC Financing Statements relating to the Collateral when properly filed in the appropriate records, will create a valid, perfected first priority security interest in and to the related Collateral, all in accordance with the terms thereof for which a Lien can be perfected by filing a UCC Financing Statement. The delivery of the certificates to Lender as set forth in Section 3 of each Pledge Agreement creates a first priority valid and perfected security interest in the related Collateral.
4.1.7 Solvency. Borrower has (a) not 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, the fair saleable value of Borrower’s assets exceeds and will, immediately following the making of the Loan, exceed Borrower’s total liabilities, including, without limitation, subordinated, unliquidated, disputed and contingent liabilities. The fair saleable value of Borrower’s assets is and will, immediately following the making of the Loan, be greater than Borrower’s probable liabilities, including the maximum amount of its contingent liabilities on its debts as such debts become absolute and matured. Borrower’s assets do not and, immediately following the making of the Loan will not, constitute unreasonably small capital to carry out its business as conducted or as proposed to be conducted. Borrower does not intend to, and does not believe that it will, incur debt and liabilities (including contingent liabilities and other commitments) beyond its ability to pay such debt and liabilities as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be received by Borrower and the amounts to be payable on or in respect of obligations of Borrower). No petition in bankruptcy has been filed against Borrower or any Affiliate in the last seven (7) years, and neither Borrower nor any Affiliate in the last seven (7) years has ever made an assignment for the benefit of creditors or taken advantage of any insolvency act for the benefit of debtors. Neither Borrower nor any of its Affiliates 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 assets or property, and, to Borrower’s knowledge, no Person is contemplating the filing of any such petition against it or such Affiliates.
4.1.8 Full and Accurate Disclosure. No statement of fact made by Borrower in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make statements contained herein or therein accurate, complete and correct in all material respects and not materially misleading. There is no material fact presently known to Borrower which has not been disclosed to Lender which would result in a Material Adverse Effect.

-81-
exercise by Lender of any of its rights under the Note, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents) to (i) be a non-exempt (under a statutory or administrative class exemption) prohibited transaction under ERISA or (ii) violate any state statute regulating investment of, or fiduciary obligations with respect to, “governmental plans” within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA.

Borrower acknowledges that Lender has a valid interest in maintaining the value of the Properties and the Collateral so as to ensure that, should Borrower default in the repayment of the Debt or the performance of the Other Obligations, Lender can recover the Debt by a sale of the Properties and the Collateral.
(b) Without the prior written consent of Lender, and except to the extent otherwise set forth in this Section 5.2.10, Borrower shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Party to do any of the following (collectively, a “Transfer”): (i) sell, convey, mortgage, grant, bargain, encumber, pledge, assign, grant options with respect to, or otherwise transfer or dispose of (directly or indirectly, voluntarily or involuntarily, by operation of law or otherwise, and whether or not for consideration or of record) the Collateral or the Properties or any part thereof or any legal or beneficial interest therein, or (ii) permit a Sale or Pledge of an interest in any Restricted Party, other than (A) pursuant to Leases of space in the Improvements to tenants in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.1.20, (B) Permitted Transfers pursuant to Section 5.2.10(d) below, and (c) any Transfers permitted pursuant to Section 5.2.10(d) below.

-83-
Rating Agencies.

(x) Transferee and the Transfer shall be approved by the Rating Agencies selected by Lender (one (1) of which shall be S&P if they are rating the Securities and one (1) of which will be Xxxxx’x if they are rating the Securities), which approval shall take the form of a confirmation in writing from such Rating Agencies to the effect that such Transfer will not result in a requalification, reduction, downgrade or withdrawal of the ratings in effect immediately prior to such assumption or transfer for the Securities or any class thereof issued in connection with a Securitization which are then outstanding;
(xi) Borrower or Transferee, at its sole cost and expense, shall deliver to Lender an Additional Insolvency Opinion reflecting such Transfer satisfactory in form and substance to Lender;

The foregoing release shall be effective upon the date of such Transfer, but Lender agrees to provide written evidence thereof reasonably requested by Borrower.
(f) Lender shall not be required to demonstrate any actual impairment of its security or any increased risk of default hereunder in order to declare the Debt immediately due and payable upon Borrower’s Transfer without Lender’s consent. This provision shall apply to every Transfer regardless of whether voluntary or not, or whether or not Lender has consented to any previous Transfer.

-88-
(including, without limitation, investment banks) to such owners are requiring that such owners maintain such coverage. Borrower shall not be required to purchase any “terrorism” insurance coverage against acts of nuclear, biological or chemical terrorism;
(x) upon sixty (60) days written notice, such other reasonable insurance, including, but not limited to, sinkhole or land subsidence insurance, and in such reasonable amounts as Lender from time to time may reasonably request against such other insurable hazards which at the time are commonly insured against for property similar to the Individual Property located in or around the region in which the Individual Property is located; and
(xi) environmental insurance consistent with the terms, coverage and deductible as currently maintained by Borrower as of the Closing Date as provided by Zurich, or otherwise consistent with the requirements of this Section 6.1, provided, however, in no event shall the coverage required pursuant to this subsection (xi) provide less than Fifty Million Dollars ($50,000,000) in the aggregate and Fifteen Million Dollars ($15,000,000) per occurrence or have a deductible in excess of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000).
(b) All insurance provided for in Section 6.1(a) hereof, shall be obtained under valid and enforceable policies (collectively, the “Policies” or, in the singular, the “Policy”), and shall be (to the extent not specified in Section 6.1(a) above) subject to the reasonable approval of Lender as to insurance companies, amounts, deductibles, loss payees and insureds. The Policies shall be issued by financially sound and responsible insurance companies authorized to do business in the State and having a claims paying ability rating by at least two (2) of the Rating Agencies rating the Securities (one (1) of which shall be S&P if they are rating the Securities and one (1) of which will be Moody’s if they are rating the Securities) of “AA” or better by S&P and Fitch and “Aa2” by Moody’s, or if only one (1) Rating Agency is rating the Securities, then only by such Rating Agency. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the claims paying ability rating may be less than “AA” or “Aa2”, as applicable, provided that Borrower shall have obtained prior written confirmation from the applicable Rating Agencies that such lesser claims paying ability rating for the providers of the Policies shall not cause a downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the then current rating of the Securities or any class thereof. The Policies described in Section 6.1 hereof (other than those strictly limited to liability protection) shall designate Lender as loss payee as its interests may appear. Not less than ten (10) days prior to the expiration dates of the Policies theretofore furnished to Lender, certificates of insurance (or a binder issued by a broker of record) evidencing the Policies accompanied by evidence satisfactory to Lender of payment of the premiums due thereunder (the “Insurance Premiums”), shall be delivered by Borrower to Lender and the Policies shall be delivered by Borrower to Lender within thirty (30) days after the renewal thereof.
(c) Any blanket insurance Policy shall specifically allocate to the Individual Property the amount of coverage from time to time required hereunder and shall otherwise provide the same protection as would a separate Policy insuring only the Properties in compliance with the provisions of Section 6.1(a) hereof.
-89-
(d) All Policies provided for or contemplated by Section 6.1(a) hereof, except for the Policy referenced in Section 6.1(a)(vii) of this Agreement, shall name Borrower as the insured and Lender as the additional insured, as its interests may appear, and in the case of property damage, boiler and machinery, flood and earthquake insurance, shall contain a so-called New York standard non-contributing mortgagee clause in favor of Lender providing that the loss thereunder shall be payable to Lender.
(e) All Policies shall contain clauses or endorsements to the effect that:
(i) Except as prohibited by applicable law, 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, shall in any way affect the validity or enforceability of the insurance insofar as Lender is concerned;
(ii) the Policy shall not be materially changed (other than to increase the coverage provided thereby) or canceled without at least thirty (30) days written notice to Lender and any other party named therein as an additional insured;
(iii) the issuers thereof shall give written notice to Lender if the Policy has not been renewed fifteen (15) days prior to its expiration; and
(iv) Lender shall not be liable for any Insurance Premiums thereon or subject to any assessments thereunder.
(f) 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 to take such action as Lender deems necessary to protect its interest in the Properties, including, without limitation, the obtaining of such insurance coverage as Lender in its sole discretion deems appropriate (i) after three (3) Business Days notice to Borrower if prior to the date upon which any such coverage will lapse, or (ii) 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 Mortgages and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.
Section 6.2 Casualty. If any Individual Property shall be damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty (a “Casualty”), Borrower shall give prompt notice of such damage to Lender and shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the completion of the Restoration of the Individual 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) with respect to any Casualty in which the Net Proceeds or the costs of completing the Restoration are equal to or
-90-

Borrower shall, 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.

(C) Borrower shall commence the Restoration as soon as reasonably practicable (but in no event later than one hundred eighty (180) days after such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, occurs) and shall diligently pursue the same to satisfactory completion;
(D) Lender shall be satisfied that any operating deficits, including all scheduled payments of principal and interest under the Note, which will be incurred with respect to the Individual 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(a)(ii) hereof, if applicable, or (3) by other funds of Borrower;
(E) 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, (2) such time as may be required under all applicable Legal Requirements in order to repair and restore the applicable Individual 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 (3) the expiration of the insurance coverage referred to in Section 6.1(a)(ii) hereof;

(K) 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 account and, until disbursed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4(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 Individual 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.
(iii) All plans and specifications required in connection with the Restoration shall be subject to prior review and acceptance in all respects by Lender and by an independent consulting engineer selected by Lender (the “Casualty Consultant”).

(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 6.4(b), be less than the amount actually held back by Borrower 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 6.4(b) and that all approvals necessary for the re-occupancy and use of the Individual 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 an endorsement to the Title Insurance Policy insuring the continued priority of the lien of the related 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.
(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
-94-
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 6.4(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 6.4(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 the Cash Management 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.
(c) 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 6.4(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.
(d) In the event of foreclosure of the Mortgage with respect to an Individual Property, or other transfer of title of an Individual 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 such Individual 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.

Section 7.2 Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund. Borrower shall pay to Lender on each Payment Date occurring during the months of May through and including October and on each Payment Date occurring during the month of December (a) one-seventh (1/7th) of the Taxes and Other Charges that Lender reasonably estimates will be payable during the next ensuing twelve (12) months (or such other amount as shall be agreed to by Borrower and Lender) in order to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Taxes and Other Charges at least thirty (30) days prior to their respective due dates, and (b) one-seventh (1/7th) of the Insurance Premiums that Lender reasonably estimates will be payable for the renewal of the coverage afforded by the Policies upon the expiration thereof in order to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Insurance Premiums at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Policies (said amounts in (a) and (b) above hereinafter called the “Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund”). The Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund and the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount, shall be added together and shall be paid as an aggregate sum by Borrower to Lender. Lender will apply the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund to payments of Taxes and Insurance Premiums required to be made by Borrower pursuant to Section 5.1.2 hereof and under the Mortgages. In making any payment relating to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund, Lender may do so according to any xxxx, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office (with respect to Taxes) or insurer or agent (with respect to Insurance Premiums), without inquiry into the accuracy of such xxxx, statement or estimate or into the validity of any tax, assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim thereof, unless Borrower is contesting the Taxes in accordance with Section 5.1.2 and Borrower has so notified Lender. If the amount of the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund shall exceed the amounts due for Taxes, Other Charges and Insurance Premiums pursuant to Section 5.1.2 hereof, Lender shall, in its sole discretion, return any excess to Borrower or credit such excess against future payments to be made to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund. Any amount remaining in the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund after the Debt has been paid in full shall be returned to Borrower. In allocating such excess, Lender may deal with the Person shown on the records of Lender to be the Owner of the Properties. If at any time Lender reasonably determines that the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund is not or will not be sufficient to pay Taxes, Other Charges and Insurance Premiums by the dates set forth in (a) and (b) above, Lender shall notify Borrower of such determination and Borrower shall increase its monthly payments to Lender by the amount that Lender estimates is sufficient to make up the deficiency at least thirty (30) days prior to the due date of the Taxes and Other Charges and/or thirty (30) days prior to expiration of the Policies, as the case may be.

Amounts so deposited shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrower’s “Replacement Reserve Fund” and the account in which such amounts are held shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrower’s “Replacement Reserve Account”. Based on the terms and provisions of the Management Agreements and the Franchise Agreements, Lender may reassess its estimate of the amount necessary for the Replacement Reserve Fund from time to time, and may increase the monthly amounts required to be deposited into the Replacement Reserve Fund upon thirty (30) days notice to Borrower. In the event any Individual Property is released from the Lien of its related Mortgage in accordance with Section 2.5 hereof, any Required PIP Amount held in the Replacement Reserve Account and allocated for such Individual Property shall be released to Borrower, provided, that any such Required PIP Amounts shall no longer be released to Borrower once the aggregate Adjusted Release Amounts under the Loan, the Mezzanine Loan and the Junior Mezzanine Loan for each Individual Property released in accordance with Section 2.5 hereof equals Seventy-Five Million Dollars ($75,000,000) and any such Required PIP Amounts shall instead be retained by Lender and credited toward the future Required PIP Amounts required pursuant to this Section 7.3.

7.3.2 Disbursements from Replacement Reserve Account. (a) Lender shall make disbursements from the Replacement Reserve Account to pay Borrower (or Operating Lessee, if so directed by Borrower) only for the costs of the Replacements. Lender shall not be obligated to make disbursements from the Replacement Reserve Account to reimburse Borrower for the costs of routine maintenance to an Individual Property, replacements of inventory or for costs which are to be reimbursed from the Required Repair Fund.
(b) Lender shall, upon written request from Borrower and satisfaction of the requirements set forth in this Section 7.3.2, disburse to Borrower (or Operating Lessee, if so directed by Borrower) amounts from the Replacement Reserve Account necessary to pay for the actual costs of Replacements or to reimburse Borrower (or Operating Lessee, if so directed by Borrower) therefor, upon completion of such Replacements (or, upon partial completion in the case of Replacements made pursuant to Section 7.3.2(e) hereof) as determined by Lender. In no event shall Lender be obligated to disburse funds from the Replacement Reserve Account if a Default or an Event of Default exists.
(c) Each request for disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account shall be in a form specified or approved by Lender and shall specify (i) the specific Replacements for which the disbursement is requested, (ii) the quantity and price of each item purchased, if the Replacement includes the purchase or replacement of specific items, (iii) the price of all materials (grouped by type or category) used in any Replacement other than the purchase or replacement of specific items, and (iv) the cost of all contracted labor or other services applicable to each Replacement for which such request for disbursement is made.

Each request for disbursement shall include copies of invoices for all items or materials purchased and all contracted labor or services provided and, unless Lender has agreed to issue joint checks as described below in connection with a particular Replacement, each request shall include evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender of payment of all such amounts. Except as provided in Section 7.3.2(e) hereof, each request for disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account shall be made only after completion of the Replacement for which disbursement is requested. Borrower shall provide Lender evidence of completion of the subject Replacement satisfactory to Lender in its reasonable judgment.
(d) Borrower shall pay all invoices in connection with the Replacements with respect to which a disbursement is requested prior to submitting such request for disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account or, at the request of Borrower, Lender will issue joint checks, payable to Borrower and the contractor, supplier, materialman, mechanic, subcontractor or other party to whom payment is due in connection with a Replacement. In the case of payments made by joint check, Lender may require a waiver of lien from each Person receiving payment prior to Lender’s disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account. In addition, as a condition to any disbursement, Lender may require Borrower to obtain lien waivers from each contractor, supplier, materialman, mechanic or subcontractor who receives payment in an amount equal to or greater than Twenty-five Thousand Dollars ($25,000) for completion of its work or delivery of its materials. Any lien waiver delivered hereunder shall conform to the requirements of applicable law and shall cover all work performed and materials supplied
-99-
(including equipment and fixtures) for the applicable Individual Property by that contractor, supplier, subcontractor, mechanic or materialman through the date covered by the current reimbursement request (or, in the event that payment to such contractor, supplier, subcontractor, mechanic or materialmen is to be made by a joint check, the release of lien shall be effective through the date covered by the previous release of funds request).
(e) If (i) the cost of a Replacement exceeds Twenty-five Thousand Dollars ($25,000), (ii) the contractor performing such Replacement requires periodic payments pursuant to terms of a written contract, and (iii) Lender has approved in writing in advance such periodic payments (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld), a request for reimbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account may be made after completion of a portion of the work under such contract, provided (A) such contract requires payment upon completion of such portion of the work, (B) the materials for which the request is made are on site at the applicable Individual Property and are properly secured or have been installed in such Individual Property, (C) all other conditions in this Agreement for disbursement have been satisfied, (D) funds remaining in the Replacement Reserve Account are, in Lender’s reasonable judgment, sufficient to complete such Replacement and other Replacements when required, and (E) if required by Lender, each contractor or subcontractor receiving payments under such contract shall provide a waiver of lien with respect to amounts which have been paid to that contractor or subcontractor.
(f) Borrower shall not make a request for disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account more frequently than once in any calendar month and (except in connection with the final disbursement) the total cost of all Replacements in any request shall not be less than Twenty-five Thousand Dollars ($25,000).
(g) At the end of each calendar year during the term of the Loan, provided that Borrower has completed all PIP Requirements required to be performed during such calendar year to Lender’s reasonable satisfaction, if the cost of completion of such PIP Requirements (the “PIP Completion Amount”) was less than the Required PIP Amount, then the positive difference between the Required PIP Amount and the PIP Completion Amount, if any (the “Excess PIP Amount”) shall be applied by Lender as follows: (i) an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the Excess PIP Amount shall be retained in the Replacement Reserve Account but accounted for as a credit to reduce Borrower’s payment obligation in respect to the aggregate Required PIP Amount to be deposited by Borrower during the immediately succeeding calendar year, and (ii) any remaining Excess PIP Amount shall in Lender’s sole discretion be either (A) applied to the outstanding principal amount of the Loan, the Mezzanine Loan or the Junior Mezzanine Loan (without the requirement of any Spread Maintenance Payment, Prepayment Premium or any other penalty or premium) or (B) provided that no Event of Default, Mezzanine Loan Default or Junior Mezzanine Loan Default shall have occurred and be continuing, returned to Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the amount calculated as the Excess PIP Amount shall not include any amounts in the Manager Accounts unless the unspent portion of such amounts was released to Borrower and deposited by Borrower with Lender as required herein. If any amounts on deposit in the Manager Accounts are released, refunded or returned to Borrower or Operating Lessee, Borrower shall, or shall cause Operating Lessee to, deposit such amounts in the Replacement Reserve Fund.

7.3.3 Performance of Replacements. (a) Borrower shall make Replacements when required in order to keep each Individual Property in condition and repair consistent with other hotels with the same class of service in the same market segment in the metropolitan area in which the respective Individual Property is located, and to keep each Individual Property or any portion thereof from deteriorating. Borrower shall complete all Replacements in a good and workmanlike manner as soon as practicable following the commencement of making each such Replacement.
(b) Lender reserves the right, at its option, to approve all contracts or work orders with materialmen, mechanics, suppliers, subcontractors, contractors or other parties providing labor or materials in connection with the Replacements. Upon Lender’s request, Borrower shall assign any contract or subcontract to Lender.
(c) In the event Lender determines in its reasonable discretion that any Replacement is not being performed in a workmanlike or timely manner or that any Replacement has not been completed in a workmanlike or timely manner, Lender shall have the option to withhold disbursement for such unsatisfactory Replacement and to proceed under existing contracts or to contract with third parties to complete such Replacement and to apply the Replacement Reserve Fund toward the labor and materials necessary to complete such Replacement, provided, that Lender shall provide thirty (30) days prior written notice to Borrower before taking any such action.
(d) In order to facilitate Lender’s completion or making of such Replacements pursuant to Section 7.3.3(c) above, Borrower grants Lender the right to enter onto any Individual Property and perform any and all work and labor necessary to complete or make such Replacements and/or employ watchmen to protect such Individual Property from damage. All sums so expended by Lender, to the extent not from the Replacement Reserve Fund, shall be deemed to have been advanced under the Loan to Borrower and secured by the Mortgages. For this purpose Borrower constitutes and appoints Lender its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution to complete or undertake such Replacements in the name of Borrower. Such power of attorney shall be deemed to be a power coupled with an interest and cannot be revoked. Borrower empowers said attorney-in-fact as follows: (i) to use any funds in the Replacement Reserve Account for the purpose of making or completing such Replacements; (ii) to make such additions, changes and corrections to such Replacements as shall be necessary or desirable to complete such Replacements; (iii) to employ such contractors, subcontractors, agents, architects and inspectors as shall be required for such purposes; (iv) to pay, settle or compromise all existing bills and claims which are or may become Liens against any Individual Property, or as may be necessary or desirable for the completion of such Replacements, or for clearance of title; (v) to execute all applications and certificates in the name of Borrower which may be required by any of the contract documents; (vi) to prosecute and defend all actions or proceedings in connection with any Individual Property or the rehabilitation and repair of any Individual Property; and (vii) to do any and every act which Borrower might do in its own behalf to fulfill the terms of this Agreement.
(e) Nothing in this Section 7.3.3 shall: (i) make Lender responsible for making or completing any Replacements; (ii) require Lender to expend funds in addition to the Replacement Reserve Fund to make or complete any Replacement; (iii) obligate Lender to
-101-
proceed with any Replacements; or (iv) obligate Lender to demand from Borrower additional sums to make or complete any Replacement.
(f) Borrower shall permit Lender and Lender’s agents and representatives (including, without limitation, Lender’s engineer, architect, or inspector) or third parties making Replacements pursuant to this Section 7.3.3 to enter onto each Individual Property during normal business hours (subject to the rights of tenants under their Leases) to inspect the progress of any Replacements and all materials being used in connection therewith, to examine all plans and shop drawings relating to such Replacements which are or may be kept at each Individual Property, and to complete any Replacements made pursuant to this Section 7.3.3. Borrower shall cause all contractors and subcontractors to cooperate with Lender or Lender’s representatives or such other persons described above in connection with inspections described in this Section 7.3.3(f) or the completion of Replacements pursuant to this Section 7.3.3.
(g) Lender may require an inspection of the Individual Property at Borrower’s expense prior to making a monthly disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account in order to verify completion of the Replacements for which reimbursement is sought. Lender may require that such inspection be conducted by an appropriate independent qualified professional selected by Lender (after consultation with Borrower) and/or may require a copy of a certificate of completion by an independent qualified professional reasonably acceptable to Lender prior to the disbursement of any amounts from the Replacement Reserve Account. Borrower shall pay the expense of the inspection as required hereunder, whether such inspection is conducted by Lender or by an independent qualified professional.
(h) The Replacements and all materials, equipment, fixtures, or any other item comprising a part of any Replacement shall be constructed, installed or completed, as applicable, free and clear of all mechanic’s, materialmen’s or other liens (except for those Liens existing on the date of this Agreement which have been approved in writing by Lender).
(i) Before each disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account, Lender may require Borrower to provide Lender with a search of title to the applicable Individual Property effective to the date of the disbursement, which search shows that no mechanic’s or materialmen’s liens or other liens of any nature have been placed against the applicable Individual Property since the date of recordation of the related Mortgage and that title to such Individual Property is free and clear of all Liens (other than the lien of the related Mortgage and any other Liens previously approved in writing by Lender, if any).

standard mortgagee clauses making loss payable to Lender or its assigns shall be so endorsed. Certified copies of such policies shall be delivered to Lender.
7.3.4 Failure to Make Replacements. (a) It shall be an Event of Default under this Agreement if Borrower fails to comply with any provision of this Section 7.3 and such failure is not cured within thirty (30) days after notice from Lender. Upon the occurrence of such an Event of Default, Lender may use the Replacement Reserve Fund (or any portion thereof) for any purpose, including but not limited to completion of the Replacements as provided in Section 7.3.3, or for any other repair or replacement to any Individual Property or toward payment of the Debt in such order, proportion and priority as Lender may determine in its sole discretion. Lender’s right to withdraw and apply the Replacement Reserve Funds shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies provided to Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
(b) Nothing in this Agreement shall obligate Lender to apply all or any portion of the Replacement Reserve Fund on account of an Event of Default to payment of the Debt or in any specific order or priority.
7.3.5 Balance in the Replacement Reserve Account. The insufficiency of any balance in the Replacement Reserve Account shall not relieve Borrower from its obligation to fulfill all preservation and maintenance covenants in the Loan Documents.
Section 7.4 Ground Lease Reserve.
7.4.1 Deposits to Ground Lease Reserve Fund. On each Payment Date occurring during the months of May through and including October and on each Payment Date occurring during the month of December one-seventh (1/7th) of the rents (including both base and additional rents) and other charges due under the Ground Lease that Lender reasonably estimates will be payable by Borrower as lessee under the Ground Lease (collectively, the “Ground Rent”) during the next ensuing twelve (12) months in order to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Ground Rent at least thirty (30) days prior to the respective due dates. Amounts so deposited shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Ground Lease Reserve Fund” and the account in which such amounts are held shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Ground Lease Reserve Account.”
7.4.2 Release of Ground Lease Reserve Fund. Lender shall have the right to apply amounts in the Ground Lease Reserve Fund to the payment of the Ground Rent. In making any payment relating to the Ground Rent, Lender may do so according to any xxxx, statement or estimate procured from the lessor under the Ground Lease, without inquiry into the accuracy of such xxxx, statement or estimate. If the amount of Ground Lease Reserve Funds shall exceed the amounts due for the Ground Rent under the Ground Lease for the immediately succeeding twelve (12) months as determined by Lender, Lender shall, in its sole discretion, return any excess to Borrower or credit such excess against future payments to be made to the Ground Lease Reserve Fund. Any amounts remaining in the Ground Lease Reserve Fund after the Debt has been paid in full shall be returned to Borrower. If at any time Lender reasonably determines that the Ground Lease Reserve Fund is not or will not be sufficient to pay the Ground Rent by the dates set forth above, Lender shall notify Borrower of such determination and
-103-
Borrower shall increase its monthly payments to Lender by the amount that Lender reasonably estimates is sufficient to make up the deficiency at least thirty (30) days prior to the due date of the Ground Rent.
Section 7.5 Debt Service Reserve. On the Closing Date, Borrower shall deposit with Lender an amount equal to Five Million Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($5,250,000) (said amount, hereinafter, the “Debt Service Reserve Fund,” and the account in which such amount is held, hereinafter, the “Debt Service Reserve Account”) for the purpose of funding an escrow fund for the payment of Debt Service and any other amounts due under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. On each Payment Date occurring on and after the first (1st) anniversary of the first (1st) Payment Date, Lender shall apply the Debt Service Reserve Fund in an amount equal to the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount, which amount shall be deposited into the Cash Management Account for disbursement in accordance therewith, provided that, as of each such Payment Date, the Debt Service Coverage Ratio for the Properties for the immediately preceding twelve (12) month period shall be equal to or greater than 1.65 to 1.0. The insufficiency of any balance in the Debt Service Reserve Account shall not relieve Borrower from its obligation to pay Debt Service and any other amounts as required under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. In lieu of making the deposit (or any portion thereof) to the Debt Service Reserve Account required pursuant to this Section 7.5, Borrower may deliver to Lender an irrevocable letter of credit (payable on sight draft only) in an amount equal to the amount that is otherwise required to be deposited into the Debt Service Reserve Account issued by a domestic financial institution having a rating by S&P and Fitch of not less than “AA” and “Aa2” by Xxxxx’x if the term of such letter of credit is no longer than three (3) months or, if such term is in excess of three (3) months, issued by a financial institution having a rating that the Rating Agencies have confirmed in writing will not, in and of itself, result in a downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the initial, or, if higher, the highest then current ratings assigned in connection with any Securitization, which letter of credit shall be otherwise acceptable in form and substance to Lender and Borrower shall pay to Lender all of Lender’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses in connection therewith, including any fee charged by the Rating Agencies. Prior to the return of any such letter of credit, Borrower shall deposit with Lender an amount equal to the amount that would have accumulated in the Debt Service Reserve Account and not been disbursed in accordance with this Section 7.5 if the letter of credit had not been delivered. Any such letter of credit shall be additional security for Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Documents. Lender shall have the right to draw in full upon any letter of credit: (i) if Lender has not received at least fifteen (15) Business Days prior to the date on which the then outstanding letter of credit is scheduled to expire, a notice from the issuing financial institution that it has renewed the applicable letter of credit; (ii) upon receipt of notice from the issuing financial institution that the applicable letter of credit will be terminated; (iii) ten (10) days after Lender has given notice to Borrower that the financial institution issuing the applicable letter of credit ceases to meet the rating requirement set forth in this Section 7.5; and (iv) upon the occurrence of an Event of Default.
Section 7.6 CSFB Assets Escrow Fund. On the Closing Date, Borrower shall deposit with Lender an amount equal to Two Million Seven Hundred Thousand Dollars ($2,700,000) (said amount, hereinafter, the “CSFB Assets Escrow Fund”). The CSFB Escrow Fund shall be either (a) disbursed to Borrower in its entirety upon the acquisition by an Affiliate of Borrower of those certain CSFB Assets pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement,
-104-
provided that such acquisition occurs on or before December 31, 2002, or (b) applied by Lender on the Payment Date occurring in January 2003 in accordance with Section 2.4.4 hereof without any Prepayment Premium or Spread Maintenance Payment (a “CSFB Assets Prepayment”) if such acquisition of the CSFB Assets has not occurred on or before December 31, 2002. Upon any such prepayment pursuant to this Section 7.6, the amount of principal due each month shall be recomputed based upon a level payment of principal and interest based upon the aggregate outstanding principal balances of the Loan, the Mezzanine Loan and the Junior Mezzanine Loan remaining following such prepayment, a debt service constant equal to seven and one quarter percent (7.25%) and an amortization schedule of three hundred (300) months less the number of months from the first (1st) day of the calendar month following the Closing Date to the date of such prepayment. Amortization shall be calculated based on a thirty (30) day month and a three hundred sixty (360) day year accrual period.
Section 7.7 Liquidity Reserve. On the Closing Date, Borrower shall deposit with Lender an amount equal to Four Hundred Fifty-Four Thousand Nine Hundred Seventeen Dollars ($454,917) and Borrower shall deposit with Lender an amount equal to Two Hundred Fifteen Thousand Dollars ($215,000) on each Payment Date occurring during the months of August through and including December (said amounts, hereinafter, the “Liquidity Reserve Fund”) for the purpose of funding a liquidity reserve fund for the payment of Debt Service and any other amounts due under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and for debt service and other amounts due under the Mezzanine Loan and the Junior Mezzanine Loan. If on any Payment Date, there is a shortfall in any of the amounts due under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or any amounts due under the Mezzanine Loan or the Junior Mezzanine Loan, then Lender shall withdraw an amount equal to such shortfall amount from the amounts on deposit in the Liquidity Reserve Fund and deposit such amount into the Cash Management Account to be applied in accordance with the Cash Management Agreement in order to pay such shortfall amount. No Event of Default shall occur by reason of Borrower’s failure to deposit into the Liquidity Reserve Fund the amounts required under this Section 7.7, provided that the insufficiency of any balance in the Liquidity Reserve Fund shall not relieve Borrower from its obligation to pay Debt Service and any other amounts as required under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and debt service and any other amounts as required under the Mezzanine Loan and the Junior Mezzanine Loan.
Section 7.8 Reserve Funds, Generally. Borrower grants to Lender a first-priority perfected security interest in each of the Reserve Funds and any and all monies now or hereafter deposited in each Reserve Fund as additional security for payment of the Debt. Until expended or applied in accordance herewith, the Reserve Funds shall constitute additional security for the Debt. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender may, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies available to Lender, apply any sums then present in any or all of the Reserve Funds to the payment of the Debt in any order in its sole discretion. The Reserve Funds shall not constitute trust funds and may be commingled with other monies held by Lender. The Reserve Funds shall be held in an Eligible Account in Permitted Investments in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Cash Management Agreement. All interest on a Reserve Fund (with the exception of the Required Repair Fund) shall not be added to or become a part thereof and shall be the sole property of and shall be paid to Lender. All interest earned on the Required Repair Fund shall be added to and become a part of such Required Repair Fund and shall be disbursed in the same manner as other monies deposited in the Required Repair Fund.
-105-
Borrower shall be responsible for payment of any federal, state or local income or other tax applicable to the interest earned on the Reserve Funds. Borrower shall not, without obtaining the prior written consent of Lender, further pledge, assign or grant any security interest in any Reserve Fund or the monies deposited therein or permit any lien or encumbrance to attach thereto, or any levy to be made thereon, or any UCC-1 Financing Statements, except those naming Lender as the secured party, to be filed with respect thereto. Lender shall not be liable for any loss sustained on the investment of any funds constituting the Reserve Funds. Borrower shall indemnify Lender and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all actions, suits, claims, demands, liabilities, losses, damages, obligations and costs and expenses (including litigation costs and reasonable attorneys fees and expenses) arising from or in any way connected with the Reserve Funds or the performance of the obligations for which the Reserve Funds were established. Borrower shall assign to Lender all rights and claims Borrower may have against all persons or entities supplying labor, materials or other services which are to be paid from or secured by the Reserve Funds; provided, however, that Lender may not pursue any such right or claim unless an Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any amounts remaining in the Reserve Funds after the Debt has been paid in full shall be deposited either (a) into the Mezzanine Debt Service Account to be disbursed in accordance with the terms of the Mezzanine Loan Documents, or (b) if the Mezzanine Loan has been satisfied in full, into the Junior Mezzanine Debt Service Account to be disbursed in accordance with the terms of the Junior Mezzanine Loan Documents.

(a) 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 under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents executed and delivered by, or applicable to, Borrower 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 any Individual Property or the Collateral. 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 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 Properties and the Collateral and each Mortgage and the Collateral has been foreclosed, sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Debt or the Debt has been paid in full.

-109-
payments of principal and interest, Lender may foreclose upon the Collateral and/or one or more of the Mortgages 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 upon the Collateral and/or one or more of the Mortgages to recover so much of the principal balance of the Loan as Lender may accelerate and such other sums secured by the Collateral and/or one or more of the Mortgages as Lender may elect. Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, the Collateral shall remain subject to the Pledge Agreements and the Properties shall remain subject to the Mortgages to secure payment of sums secured by the Pledge Agreements and the Mortgages and not previously recovered.
(c) 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 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 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 by Lender of Lender’s intent to exercise its rights under such power. Provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Lender shall be obligated to pay any costs or expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, execution, recording or filing of the Severed Loan Documents. 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.
(d) Any amounts recovered from the Collateral and/or the Properties during the occurrence of an Event of Default may be applied by Lender toward the payment of any interest and/or principal of the Loan and/or any other amounts due under the Loan Documents in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall determine.
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 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.

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 9.1 to the contrary, but subject to Section 9.1.2(c), Borrower covenants and agrees that after the Closing Date and prior to a Securitization, Lender shall have the right to establish different interest rates and to reallocate the amortization and principal balances (including, without limitation, the reallocation of the Release Amounts on a pro-rata basis) of each of the Loan, the Mezzanine Loan and the Junior Mezzanine Loan amongst each other and to require the payment of the Loan, the Mezzanine Loan and the Junior Mezzanine Loan in such order of priority as may be designated by Lender; provided, that the (i) initial weighted average spread of the Loan, the Mezzanine Loan and the Junior Mezzanine Loan following any such reallocation or modification shall not be changed from the initial weighted average spread in effect immediately preceding such reallocation or modification, (ii) the amortization based on the aggregate principal balances of the Loan, the
-112-
Mezzanine Loan and the Junior Mezzanine Loan immediately preceding such reallocation or modification shall remain the same in the aggregate following any such reallocation or modification, but, provided further that such modifications may subsequently change the weighted average spread and apply principal, interest rates and amortization between and among the Loan, the Mezzanine Loan and the Junior Mezzanine Loan in a manner specified by Lender in its sole discretion, and (iii) in no event shall the principal balances of the Loan, the Mezzanine Loan and the Junior Mezzanine Loan be reallocated such that the sum of the aggregate principal balances of the Mezzanine Loan and the Junior Mezzanine Loan exceed $102,500,000.
(c) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 9.1 to the contrary, Lender agrees that any reallocation of the Release Amounts of the Properties associated with Section 9.1.2(b) will be made on a pro-rata basis across the Loan, the Mezzanine Loan and the Junior Mezzanine Loan. In addition, as set forth in the Junior Mezzanine Loan Documents and the Mezzanine Loan Documents, respectively, a Deleveraging Prepayment shall be applied first to the Junior Mezzanine Loan, until the Junior Mezzanine Loan is paid in full and then to the Mezzanine Loan, until the Mezzanine Loan is paid in full and then to the Loan.
(d) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 9.1 to the contrary, but subject to Section 9.1.2(c), Borrower covenants and agrees that if Junior Mezzanine Lender elects in its sole discretion to allocate a portion of the Payment Guaranty (as defined in the Junior Mezzanine Loan Agreement) so as to provide for a portion of the Mezzanine Loan and/or the Loan to be guaranteed pursuant to a payment guaranty with substantially the same terms and provisions as the Payment Guaranty, then Borrower shall cooperate with Lender in connection therewith, including, without limitation, with respect to the Mezzanine Loan, the Junior Mezzanine Loan and the Loan, revising or preparing and delivering new Insolvency Opinions and enforceability opinions and executing and delivering such other new or revised loan documents as may be necessary to evidence such reallocation of the Payment Guaranty.
(e) Borrower shall execute and deliver such documents as shall reasonably be required by Lender in connection with this Section 9.1.2, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender and the Rating Agencies. In the event Borrower fails to execute and deliver such documents to Lender within five (5) Business Days following such request by Lender, Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints 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 such transactions, Borrower ratifying all that such attorney shall do by virtue thereof. It shall be an Event of Default under this Agreement, the Note, the Mortgages and the other Loan Documents if Borrower fails to promptly comply with any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Section 9.1.2.
9.1.3 Securitization Costs. All reasonable third party costs and expenses incurred by Borrower (except any legal fees and expenses which shall be paid by Borrower) in connection with Borrower’s complying with requests made under this Section 9.1 (including, without limitation, the fees and expenses of the Rating Agencies) shall be paid by Lender.
9.1.4 Property Removal. If at any time following the Closing Date and in connection with a Securitization BSCMI shall elect to remove any Individual Property from such Securitization (the “Affected Property”), Lender shall have the right to (i) sever or divide the
-113-
Note and the other Loan Documents in order to allocate to such Affected Property a new note and other loan documents (collectively, the “New Note”), evidencing a separate loan in the amount of the Adjusted Release Amount applicable to such Affected Property, including the transfer of the applicable portion of each of the Reserve Funds relating to the Affected Property, and (ii) release any cross-default and/or cross-collateralization provisions applicable to such Affected Property; provided, that such New Note secured by such Affected Property, together with the Loan Documents secured by the remaining Properties, shall not increase in the aggregate (A) any monetary obligation of Borrower under the Loan Documents, or (B) any other obligation of Borrower under the Loan Documents in any material respect. In connection with the transfer of any such Affected Property as provided for in this Section 9.1.4, the Loan shall be reduced by an amount equal to the Adjusted Release Amount applicable to such Affected Property in accordance with Section 2.4.4 hereof and the new loan secured by such Affected Property and evidenced by the New Note shall be in an amount equal to such Adjusted Release Amount. Subsequent to the release of the Affected Property from the lien of the Loan pursuant to this Section 9.1.4, the balances of the Components of the Loan shall be the same as they would have been had a prepayment occurred in an amount equal to the Adjusted Release Amount of the Affected Property. The interest rate of the New Note shall be based on LIBOR, with a spread such that the aggregate interest payable on the Loan and the New Note in the Interest Period immediately following such release shall be the same as if such release had not occurred. At the request of Lender, Borrower shall transfer the Affected Property to a newly-created Special Purpose Entity and shall otherwise cooperate with BSCMI and Lender in their attempt to satisfy all requirements necessary in order for BSCMI to obtain written confirmation from the Rating Agencies that such transfer of the Affected Property from the Securitization and splitting of the Loan shall not cause a downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the then current ratings of the Securities or any class thereof, which requirements shall include, without limitation: (A) delivery of evidence that the single purpose nature and bankruptcy remoteness of Borrower following such release have not been adversely affected and are in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement (which evidence may include a “bring-down” of the Insolvency Opinion); and (B) the execution of such documents and instruments and delivery by BSCMI of such opinions of counsel as are typical for similar transactions, including an opinion of counsel that the release of the Affected Property will not be a “significant modification” of this Loan within the meaning of Section 1.1001-3 of the regulations of the United States Department of the Treasury and that all other requirements applicable, if any, to a REMIC Trust have been satisfied or have not otherwise been violated. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Borrower, in connection with the transfer of the Affected Property, the splitting of the Loan or BSCMI’s or Lender’s attempt to obtain written confirmation from the Rating Agencies that such transfer of the Affected Property and splitting of the Loan shall not cause a downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the then current ratings of the Securities or any class thereof, be obligated to satisfy any requirement of the Rating Agencies or enter into any amendment or modification of the Loan Documents which would, in the aggregate, increase any monetary or other material obligation of Borrower under the Loan Documents. Provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing under the Loan Documents, Lender shall cause all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Borrower in connection with this Section 9.1.4 (including, without limitation, any costs and expenses incurred by Borrower in connection with the transfer of the Affected Property to a Special Purpose Entity and the maintenance and operation of such Special Purpose Entity) to be paid by BSCMI.

Section 9.2 Securitization Indemnification. (a) Borrower understands that certain of the Provided Information may be included in Disclosure Documents in connection with the Securitization and may also be included in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or provided or made available to investors or prospective investors in the Securities, the Rating Agencies, and service providers relating to the Securitization. In the event that the Disclosure Document is required to be revised prior to the sale of all Securities, Borrower will cooperate with the holder of the Note in updating the Disclosure Document by providing all current information necessary to keep the Disclosure Document accurate and complete in all material respects.
(b) The Indemnifying Persons agree to provide, in connection with the Securitization, an indemnification agreement (A) certifying that (i) the Indemnifying Persons have carefully examined the Disclosure Documents, including without limitation, the sections entitled “Risk Factors,” “Special Considerations,” “Description of the Mortgages,” “Description of the Mortgage Loans and Mortgaged Properties,” “The Manager,” “The Borrower” and “Certain Legal Aspects of the Mortgage Loan,” and (ii) such sections and such other information in the Disclosure Documents (to the extent such information relates to or includes any Provided Information or any information regarding the Collateral, the Properties, Borrower, Manager and/or the Loan) (collectively with the Provided Information, the “Covered Disclosure Information”) do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, (B) jointly and severally indemnifying Lender, BSCMI (whether or not it is the Lender), any Affiliate of BSCMI that has filed any registration statement relating to the Securitization or has acted as the sponsor or depositor in connection with the Securitization, any Affiliate of BSCMI that acts as an underwriter, placement agent or initial purchaser of Securities issued in the Securitization, any other co-underwriters, co-placement agents or co-initial purchasers of Securities issued in the Securitization, and each of their respective officers, directors, partners, employees, representatives, agents and Affiliates and each Person or entity who controls any such Person within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively, the “Indemnified Persons”), for any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs or expenses (including without limitation legal fees and expenses for enforcement of these obligations (collectively, the “Liabilities”) to which any such Indemnified Person may become subject insofar as the Liabilities arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Covered Disclosure Information or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state in the Covered Disclosure Information a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements in the Covered Disclosure Information, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and (C) agreeing to reimburse each Indemnified Person for any legal or other expenses incurred by such Indemnified Person, as they are incurred, in connection with investigating or defending the Liabilities. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which Borrower may otherwise have. Moreover, the indemnification and reimbursement obligations provided for in clauses (B) and (C) above shall be effective, valid and binding obligations of the Indemnifying Persons whether or not an indemnification agreement described in clause (A) above is provided.
-115-
(c) In connection with filings under the Exchange Act, the Indemnifying Persons jointly and severally agree to (i) indemnify the Indemnified Persons for Liabilities to which any such Indemnified Person may become subject insofar as the Liabilities arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact in the Covered Disclosure Information, or the omission or alleged omission to state in the Covered Disclosure Information a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements in the Covered Disclosure Information, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and (ii) reimburse each Indemnified Person for any legal or other expenses incurred by such Indemnified Persons, as they are incurred, in connection with defending or investigating the Liabilities.
(d) Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person of notice of any claim or the commencement of any action, the Indemnified Person shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any Indemnifying Person, notify such Indemnifying Person in writing of the claim or the commencement of that action; provided, however, that the failure to notify such Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have under the indemnification provisions of this Section 9.2 except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced by such failure and, provided further that the failure to notify such Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to an Indemnified Person otherwise than under the provisions of this Section 9.2. If any such claim or action shall be brought against an Indemnified Person, and it shall notify any Indemnifying Person thereof, such Indemnifying Person shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it wishes, assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person. After notice from any Indemnifying Person to the Indemnified Person of its election to assume the defense of such claim or action, such Indemnifying Person shall not be liable to the Indemnified Person for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Person in connection with the defense thereof except as provided in the following sentence; provided, however, if the defendants in any such action include both an Indemnifying Person, on the one hand, and one or more Indemnified Persons on the other hand, and an Indemnified Person shall have reasonably concluded that there are any legal defenses available to it and/or other Indemnified Persons that are different or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Person, the Indemnified Person or Persons shall have the right to select separate counsel to assert such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such Indemnified Person or Persons. The Indemnified Person shall instruct its counsel to maintain reasonably detailed billing records for fees and disbursements for which such Indemnified Person is seeking reimbursement hereunder and shall submit copies of such detailed billing records to substantiate that such counsel’s fees and disbursements are solely related to the defense of a claim for which the Indemnifying Person is required hereunder to indemnify such Indemnified Person. No Indemnifying Person shall be liable for the expenses of more than one (1) such separate counsel unless such Indemnified Person shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those available to another Indemnified Person.
(e) Without the prior written consent of BSCMI (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), no Indemnifying Person shall settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder (whether or not any
-116-
Indemnified Person is an actual or potential party to such claim, action, suit or proceeding) unless the Indemnifying Person shall have given BSCMI reasonable prior written notice thereof and shall have obtained an unconditional release of each Indemnified Person hereunder from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceedings. As long as an Indemnifying Person has complied with its obligations to defend and indemnify hereunder, such Indemnifying Person shall not be liable for any settlement made by any Indemnified Person without the consent of such Indemnifying Person (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
(f) The Indemnifying Persons agree that if any indemnification or reimbursement sought pursuant to this Section 9.2 is finally judicially determined to be unavailable for any reason or is insufficient to hold any Indemnified Person harmless (with respect only to the Liabilities that are the subject of this Section 9.2), then the Indemnifying Persons, on the one hand, and such Indemnified Person, on the other hand, shall contribute to the Liabilities for which such indemnification or reimbursement is held unavailable or is insufficient: (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits to the Indemnifying Persons, on the one hand, and such Indemnified Person, on the other hand, from the transactions to which such indemnification or reimbursement relates; or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (ii) but also the relative faults of the Indemnifying Persons, on the one hand, and all Indemnified Persons, on the other hand, as well as any other equitable considerations. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 9.2, (A) no party found liable for a fraudulent misrepresentation shall be entitled to contribution from any other party who is not also found liable for such fraudulent misrepresentation, and (B) the Indemnifying Persons agree that in no event shall the amount to be contributed by the Indemnified Persons collectively pursuant to this paragraph exceed the amount of the fees actually received by the Indemnified Persons in connection with the closing of the Loan.
(g) The Indemnifying Persons agree that the indemnification, contribution and reimbursement obligations set forth in this Section 9.2 shall apply whether or not any Indemnified Person is a formal party to any lawsuits, claims or other proceedings. The Indemnifying Persons further agree that the Indemnified Persons are intended third party beneficiaries under this Section 9.2.
(h) The liabilities and obligations of the Indemnified Persons and the Indemnifying Persons under this Section 9.2 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the satisfaction and discharge of the Debt.
(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Borrower shall have no obligation to act as depositor with respect to the Loan or an issuer or registrant with respect to the Securities issued in any Securitization.
Section 9.3 Exculpation. Subject to the qualifications below, Lender shall not enforce the liability and obligation of Borrower to perform and observe the obligations contained in the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgages or the other Loan Documents by any action or proceeding wherein a money judgment shall be sought against Borrower, except that Lender may bring a foreclosure action, an action for specific performance or any other appropriate action or
-117-
proceeding to enable Lender to enforce and realize upon its interest under the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgages and the other Loan Documents, or in the Collateral, the Properties, the Rents, or any other collateral given to Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents; provided, however, that, except as specifically provided herein, any judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be enforceable against Borrower only to the extent of Borrower’s interest in the Collateral, the Properties, in the Rents and in any other collateral given to Lender, and Lender, by accepting the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgages and the other Loan Documents, agrees that it shall not xxx for, seek or demand any deficiency judgment against Borrower in any such action or proceeding under or by reason of or under or in connection with the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgages or the other Loan Documents. The provisions of this Section shall not, however, (a) constitute a waiver, release or impairment of any obligation evidenced or secured by any of the Loan Documents; (b) impair the right of Lender to name Borrower as a party defendant in any action or suit for foreclosure and sale under any of the Mortgages; (c) affect the validity or enforceability of or any guaranty made in connection with the Loan or any of the rights and remedies of Lender thereunder; (d) impair the right of Lender to obtain the appointment of a receiver; (e) impair the enforcement of any of the Assignments of Leases; (f) constitute a prohibition against Lender to seek a deficiency judgment against Borrower in order to fully realize the security granted by each of the Pledge Agreements and the Mortgages or to commence any other appropriate action or proceeding in order for Lender to exercise its remedies against all of the Properties and the Collateral; or (g) constitute a waiver of the right of Lender to enforce the liability and obligation of Borrower, by money judgment or otherwise, to the extent of any loss, damage, cost, expense, liability, claim or other obligation incurred by Lender (including attorneys’ fees and costs reasonably incurred) arising out of or in connection with the following:
(i) fraud or intentional misrepresentation by Borrower, Principal, Operating Lessee, Limited Guarantor or Guarantor in connection with the Loan;
(ii) the willful misconduct of Borrower or Operating Lessee;
(iii) the breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or indemnification provision in the Environmental Indemnity Agreement or in the Mortgages concerning environmental laws, hazardous substances and asbestos and any indemnification of Lender with respect thereto in either document;
(iv) the misappropriation or conversion in violation of the Loan Documents by Borrower or Operating Lessee of (A) any Insurance Proceeds paid by reason of any loss, damage or destruction to the Properties, (B) any Awards received in connection with a Condemnation of all or a portion of the Properties, or (C) any Rents while any Event of Default is continuing; and
(v) failure to obtain and/or maintain the Interest Rate Cap Agreement or Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement, as applicable, as required pursuant to Section 2.2.7 hereof.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Note or any of the Loan Documents, (A) Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any right which Lender
-118-
may have under Section 506(a), 506(b), 1111(b) or any other provisions of the Bankruptcy Code to file a claim for the full amount of the Debt secured by the Mortgages or to require that all collateral shall continue to secure all of the Debt owing to Lender in accordance with the Loan Documents, and (B) the Debt shall be fully recourse to Borrower (i) in the event of: (a) Borrower, Operating Lessee or Principal filing a voluntary petition under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law; (b) Borrower, Operating Lessee or Principal or any affiliate of Borrower, Operating Lessee or Principal solicits or causes to be solicited petitioning creditors for any involuntary petition against Borrower, Operating Lessee or Principal from any Person; (c) Borrower, Operating Lessee or Principal filing an answer consenting to or otherwise acquiescing in or joining in any involuntary petition filed against it, by any other Person under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law, or soliciting or causing to be solicited petitioning creditors for any involuntary petition from any Person; (d) Borrower, Operating Lessee or Principal consenting to or acquiescing in or joining in an application for the appointment of a custodian, receiver, trustee, or examiner for Borrower, Operating Lessee or Principal or any portion of any Individual Property; (e) Borrower, Operating Lessee or Principal making an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or admitting, in writing or in any legal proceeding, its insolvency or inability to pay its debts as they become due; (ii) if Borrower, Operating Lessee or Principal fails to obtain Lender’s prior written consent to any Indebtedness or voluntary Lien encumbering any of the Properties or the Collateral; or (iii) if Borrower, Operating Lessee or Principal fails to obtain Lender’s prior written consent to any Transfer as required by this Agreement or the Mortgages.

(a) If (i) the Debt has been accelerated pursuant to Section 8.1(b) hereof, (ii) any Manager shall become bankrupt or insolvent, or (iii) a default by the related Manager occurs under any Management Agreement and, if such Manager is not an Affiliated Manager, the related Management Agreement provides for the termination of Manager thereunder upon such default without the payment of any termination fee, then Borrower shall, at the request of Lender (A) terminate such Management Agreement and replace such Manager with a Qualified Manager pursuant to a Replacement Management Agreement, and (B) if such Manager is an Affiliated Manager, terminate any and all of the Management Agreements to which such Affiliated Manager is a party and replace such Affiliated Manager under each related Management Agreement with a Qualified Manager pursuant to a Replacement Management Agreement.
(b) If any Manager shall become bankrupt or insolvent (a “Manager Excess Cash Sweep Event”), Borrower shall deposit all Excess Cash Flow in the Cash Management Account to be held by Lender until such Manager is replaced pursuant to Section 9.4(a) hereof. No Event of Default shall occur by reason of this Section 9.4(b) so long as Borrower deposits into the Cash Management Account the additional amounts required by this Section 9.4(b). All such deposit amounts shall be treated as a “Reserve Fund” for purposes of Section 7.7 hereof. All additional amounts deposited under this Section 9.4(b) shall be additional security for the repayment of the Debt and may be withdrawn by Lender upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and applied by Lender in such order and priority as Lender may determine.

-119-
portion of its responsibilities under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to Servicer pursuant to a servicing agreement (the “Servicing Agreement”) between Lender and Servicer. Lender shall be responsible for all set-up fees and other initial costs relating to or arising under the Servicing Agreement; including the payment of the monthly servicing fee due to Servicer thereunder.

To the extent Borrower makes a payment or payments to Lender, which payment or proceeds or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or proceeds received, the obligations hereunder or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continue in full force and effect, as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by Lender.
Section 10.11 Waiver of Notice. Borrower shall not be entitled to any notices of any nature whatsoever from Lender except with respect to matters for which this Agreement or the other Loan Documents specifically and expressly provide for the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower and except with respect to matters for which Borrower is not, pursuant to applicable Legal Requirements, permitted to waive the giving of notice. Borrower hereby expressly waives the right to receive any notice from Lender with respect to any matter for which this Agreement or the other Loan Documents do not specifically and expressly provide for the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower.
Section 10.12 Remedies of Borrower. In the event that a claim or adjudication is made that Lender or its agents have acted unreasonably or unreasonably delayed acting in any case where by law or under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Lender or such agent, as the case may be, has an obligation to act reasonably or promptly, Borrower agrees that neither Lender nor its agents shall be liable for any monetary damages, and Borrower’s sole remedies shall be limited to commencing an action seeking injunctive relief or declaratory judgment. The parties hereto agree that any action or proceeding to determine whether Lender has acted reasonably shall be determined by an action seeking declaratory judgment.
Section 10.13 Expenses; Indemnity. (a) Borrower covenants and agrees to pay or, if Borrower fails to pay, to reimburse, Lender upon receipt of written notice from Lender for all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by Lender in connection with (i) 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 (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 Properties); (ii) Borrower’s ongoing performance of and compliance with Borrower’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; (iii) 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; (iv) 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 other
-124-
documents or matters requested by Lender; (v) securing Borrower’s compliance with any requests made pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement; (vi) the filing and recording fees and expenses, title insurance and reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for providing to Lender all required legal opinions, and other similar expenses incurred in creating and perfecting the Liens in favor of Lender pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; (vii) enforcing or preserving any rights, in response to third party claims or the prosecuting or defending of any action or proceeding or other litigation, in each case against, under or affecting Borrower, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Collateral, the Properties, or any other security given for the Loan; and (viii) enforcing any obligations of or collecting any payments due from Borrower under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or with respect to the Properties or the Collateral (including any fees incurred by Servicer in connection with the transfer of the Loan to a special servicer prior to a Default or Event of Default) or in connection with any refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided under this Agreement in the nature of a “work-out” or of any insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be liable for the payment of any such costs and expenses to the extent the same arise by reason of the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct of Lender. 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.
(b) Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Lender 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 for Lender in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding commenced or threatened, whether or not Lender shall be designated a party thereto), that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against Lender 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 Lender hereunder to the extent that such Indemnified Liabilities arise from the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct of Lender. It is understood and agreed that, to the extent not precluded by a conflict of interest, Lender shall endeavor to work cooperatively with Borrower with a view toward minimizing the legal and other expenses associated with any defense and any potential settlement or judgment. To the extent reasonably practicable and not disadvantageous to Lender, it is anticipated that a single counsel selected by Borrower may be used. Settlement of any claim or litigation involving any material indemnified amount will require the approval of the Borrower (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). 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 Lender.
(c) Borrower covenants and agrees to pay for or, if Borrower fails to pay, to reimburse Lender for, any fees and expenses reasonably incurred by any Rating Agency in connection with any Rating Agency review of the Loan, the Loan Documents or any transaction contemplated thereby or any consent, approval, waiver or confirmation obtained from such Rating Agency pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement or any other Loan
-125-
Document and Lender shall be entitled 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. (a) Borrower and Lender intend that the relationships created hereunder and under the other Loan Documents be solely that of borrower and lender. Nothing herein or therein is intended to create a joint venture, partnership, tenancy-in-common, or joint tenancy relationship between Borrower and Lender nor to grant Lender any interest in the Properties other than that of mortgagee, beneficiary or 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, BSCMI, or any of their Affiliates shall be subject to the prior written approval of Lender.
Section 10.18 Cross-Default; Cross-Collateralization; Waiver of Marshalling of Assets. (a) Borrower acknowledges that Lender has made the Loan to Borrower upon the security of its collective interest in the Collateral and the Properties and in reliance upon the aggregate of the Collateral and the Properties taken together being of greater value as collateral security than the sum of each Individual Property taken separately. Borrower agrees that the Mortgages are and will be cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with each other so that (i) an Event of Default under any of the Mortgages shall constitute an Event of Default under each of
-126-
the other Mortgages which secure the Note; (ii) an Event of Default under the Note or this Agreement shall constitute an Event of Default under each Mortgage; (iii) each Mortgage shall constitute security for the Note as if a single blanket lien were placed on all of the Properties as security for the Note; (iv) each Pledge Agreement shall constitute security for the Note as if a single blanket lien were placed on all of the Collateral as security for the Note; and (v) such cross-collateralization shall in no event be deemed to constitute a fraudulent conveyance.
(b) To the fullest extent permitted by law, Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives all rights to a marshalling of the assets of Borrower, Borrower’s partners and others with interests in Borrower, Operating Lessee and of the Collateral and the Properties, or to a sale in inverse order of alienation in the event of foreclosure of all or any of the Mortgages or the Collateral, 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 Collateral and the Properties 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 Collateral and the Properties in preference to every other claimant whatsoever. In addition, Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives in the event of foreclosure of any or all of the Mortgages or the Collateral, any equitable right otherwise available to Borrower which would require the separate sale of the Properties the Collateral and or require Lender to exhaust its remedies against any Individual Property or any combination of the Properties before proceeding against any other Individual Property or combination of Properties; and further in the event of such foreclosure Borrower does hereby expressly consents to and authorizes, at the option of Lender, the foreclosure and sale either separately or together of any combination of the Properties. Furthermore, Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives in the event of foreclosure upon all of the Collateral, any equitable right otherwise available to Borrower which would require the separate sale of any part of the Collateral or require Lender to exhaust its remedies against any part of the Collateral or any combination of the Collateral before proceeding against any other part of the Collateral or combination of the Collateral; and further in the event of such foreclosure Borrower hereby expressly consents to and authorizes, at the option of Lender, the foreclosure and sale either separately or together of any combination of the Collateral.
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. The parties hereto acknowledge that they were represented by competent counsel in connection with the negotiation, drafting and execution of the Loan Documents and that such Loan Documents shall not be subject to the principle of construing their meaning against the party which drafted same. 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
-127-
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. Borrower acknowledges that Lender engages in the business of real estate financings and other real estate transactions and investments which may be viewed as adverse to or competitive with the business of Borrower or its Affiliates.
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 in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, costs and expenses of any kind (including Lender’s attorneys’ fees and expenses) in any way relating to or arising from a claim by any Person that such Person acted on behalf of Borrower or Lender in connection with the transactions contemplated herein. The provisions of this Section 10.21 shall survive the expiration and termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Debt.
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, including, without limitation, the Commitment Letter dated September 22, 2002 between Borrower and Lender, are superseded by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
Section 10.23 Joint and Several Liability. The parties hereto acknowledge that the defined term “Borrower” (as well as the defined term defining each other Collective Group) has been defined to collectively include each Individual Borrower (and in the case of each Collective Group, defined to collectively include each member of the same). It is the intent of the parties hereto in determining whether (a) a breach of a representation or a covenant has occurred, (b) there has occurred a Default or Event of Default, or (c) an event has occurred which would create recourse obligations under Section 9.3 of this Agreement, that any such breach, occurrence or event with respect to any Individual Borrower (or with respect to any single member of a Collective Group) shall be deemed to be such a breach, occurrence or event with respect to all Individual Borrowers (and in the case of each Collective Group, each member of the same) and that all Individual Borrowers need not have been involved with such breach, occurrence or event in order for the same to be deemed such a breach, occurrence or event with respect to every Individual Borrower (and likewise that each member of a Collective Group need not have been involved with such breach, occurrence or event in order for the same to be deemed such a breach, occurrence or event with respect to such Collective Group). The term “Collective Group” as used in this Agreement shall refer to each of the groups of entities represented in this Agreement by the following defined terms: Mezzanine Borrower, Junior Mezzanine Borrower, Limited Guarantor, Guarantor and Operating Lessee. The obligations and liabilities of each Individual Borrower shall be joint and several. Nothing in this Section 10.23 shall be deemed to create any liability (joint, several or otherwise) on the part of (i) any Individual Borrower in respect of any amounts outstanding under the Mezzanine Loan or the Junior Mezzanine Loan,
-128-
(ii) any Junior Mezzanine Borrower in respect of any amounts outstanding under the Mezzanine Loan or the Loan or (iii) any Mezzanine Borrower in respect of any amounts outstanding under the Loan or the Junior Mezzanine Loan.
Section 10.24 No Release or Novation. This Agreement constitutes an amendment and restatement of the Original Loan Agreement and is not intended to and shall not extinguish any of the indebtedness or obligations of Borrower under the Note, the Original Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document in such a manner as would constitute a release or novation of the original indebtedness or obligations of Borrower under the Note, the Original Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document, nor shall this Agreement affect or impair the priority of any liens created thereby or in connection therewith, it being the intention of the parties hereto to preserve all liens and security interests securing payment of the Note and the Debt, which liens and security interests are acknowledged by Borrower to be valid and subsisting against the Properties and any other security or collateral for the Debt.
Section 10.25 Effective Date. This Agreement shall be effective as of December 5, 2002. All references to the “Closing Date” shall refer to December 5, 2002.
Section 10.26 Confirmation of Guarantor and Limited Guarantor.
