(a) Subordinate Lender shall not assert, foreclose, enforce, realize upon or bring a legal action with respect to the Mezzanine Loan Obligations, or any part thereof, the Mezzanine Deed of Trust, any of the other Mezzanine Loan Documents; provided, however, that (i) upon the occurrence of any default under the Mezzanine Loan Documents and so long as no Default exists under the Senior Loan Documents, Subordinate Lender may seek collection from or otherwise pursue Guarantors under the guaranty of the Mezzanine Loan described in Exhibit B attached hereto; and/or (ii) Subordinate Lender may seek collection from or otherwise pursue Guarantors under the applicable provisions of the Partnership Agreement and the joinder page thereto. Subordinate Lender shall, prior to commencing any action to enforce any rights against the Guarantors, give Administrative Agent written notice of the default which would permit Subordinate Lender to commence such enforcement action, and Subordinate Lender shall promptly provide Administrative Agent with copies of any and all material notices, pleadings, agreements, motions and briefs served upon, delivered to or with any party to any such enforcement action and otherwise keep Administrative Agent reasonably apprised as to the status of any enforcement action.
(b) In addition, the Mezzanine Deed of Trust shall, by its terms, be deemed to have been released and discharged and Subordinate Lender shall have no further rights, claims or interests in the Property or any other property, rights or interests encumbered by the Mezzanine Deed of Trust and Subordinate Lender shall, if requested by Administrative Agent or any title company, immediately deliver to Administrative Agent a written release or reconveyance of lien confirming the release and termination of the Mezzanine Deed of Trust upon the occurrence of any one or more of the following events (each, a “Termination Event”):
(i) the occurrence or commencement of any Proceeding with respect to Borrower, Mezzanine Borrower or the Investment Partnership, or any other owner of any interest, direct or indirect in Borrower, Mezzanine Borrower or the Investment Partnership;
(ii) the conveyance of the Property to Administrative Agent, any Senior Lender, or their designees in connection with a deed in lieu of foreclosure transaction; or
(iii) a Default resulting from a Monetary Default which is not cured by Subordinate Lender within the cure period specified in Section 10 of this Agreement and following which the Senior Loan Obligations are accelerated pursuant to the Senior Loan Documents.
13
To induce Administrative Agent and Senior Lender to consent to the Mezzanine Deed of Trust, Subordinate Lender hereby covenants and agrees that until the Senior Loan Obligations have been paid in full and all preconditions to the release and discharge of the Senior Deed of Trust have been satisfied (i) the Mezzanine Deed of Trust shall not be amended, modified or supplemented without the prior written consent of the Required Lenders, (ii) the Senior Deed of Trust shall govern and control over any contrary provision of the Mezzanine Deed of Trust with respect to casualty and condemnation and the distribution of insurance proceeds and condemnation awards, and (iii) Subordinate Lender hereby appoints Administrative Agent as its attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, to execute, deliver and record such releases and discharges as may be necessary to fully release the Mezzanine Deed of Trust from the Property and all other property, rights and interests encumbered by the Mezzanine Deed of Trust, which such power may be exercised only after a Termination Event.
(c) Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Senior Construction Lenders, hereby consents to Subordinate Lender’s right, pursuant to the Mezzanine Loan Documents, under certain circumstances, to cause the termination of the Property Manager. If both Subordinate Lender and Administrative Agent shall have such rights at any time, and Administrative Agent shall fail to exercise such rights on behalf of the Senior Construction Lenders, Subordinate Lender may exercise such rights, provided such exercise may be superseded by any subsequent exercise of such rights by Administrative Agent pursuant to the Senior Loan Documents. Upon the occurrence of any event which would entitle Subordinate Lender to cause the termination of the Property Manager pursuant to the Mezzanine Loan Documents, Subordinate Lender shall have the right to select, or cause the selection, of a replacement property manager (including any asset manager) or leasing agent for the Property, which replacement manager, asset manager and/or leasing agent shall (i) be a Qualified Manager and (ii) be subject to the reasonable approval of Administrative Agent (or the Required Lenders if the consent of the Required Lenders is necessary). Notwithstanding anything in this Section to the contrary, if a Default under the Senior Loan then exists or any other event shall have occurred pursuant to which Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Senior Construction Lenders, has the right to select any replacement manager, asset manager and/or leasing agent pursuant to the Senior Loan Documents, Administrative Agent shall have the sole right to select any replacement manager, asset manager and/or leasing agent, whether or not a new manager or leasing agent was retained by Subordinate Lender.
8. Default under Senior Loan Documents.
(a) Default Notice. Prior to commencing any Enforcement Action under the Senior Loan Documents, Senior Lender shall provide Subordinate Lender with a copy of any written notice (the “Default Notice”) sent by Senior Lender to Borrower regarding the occurrence of a Default.
(b) Subordinate Lender’s Cure Right. Subordinate Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cure any Default under any of the Senior Loan Documents within the later of the (i) the expiration of Borrower’s cure period under the Senior Loan
14
Documents with respect to such Default or (ii) five (5) Business Days after the giving of the Default Notice if such cure can be accomplished by the payment of a liquidated sum of money (herein, a “Monetary Default”). In addition, if the Default Notice relates to a Default other than a Monetary Default (herein, a “Non-Monetary Default”), Subordinate Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation to cure such Non-Monetary Default provided that if such Non Monetary Default is susceptible of cure but cannot reasonably be cured within thirty (30) days and if curative action was promptly commenced and is being continuously and diligently pursued by Subordinate Lender, Subordinate Lender shall be given an additional period of time as is reasonably necessary for Subordinate Lender in the exercise of due diligence to cure such Non-Monetary Default for so long as (i) Subordinate Lender makes or causes to be made timely payment of Borrower’s regularly scheduled monthly principal and/or interest and/or other payments under the Senior Loan Documents and any other amounts due under the Senior Loan Documents, (ii) such additional period of time does not exceed thirty (30) days, unless such Non-Monetary Default is of a nature that it cannot be cured within such thirty (30) days, in which case, Subordinate Lender shall have such additional time as is reasonably necessary to cure such Non-Monetary Default not to exceed one hundred twenty (120) days from the Default Notice so long as Subordinate Lender is diligently pursuing same, (iii) such Non-Monetary Default is not caused by a Proceeding, and (iv) during such cure period, there is (1) no material impairment to the value, use or operation of the Property, and (2) no violations of any applicable law, regulation or ordinance having jurisdiction over the Property. Subordinate Lender acknowledges and agrees that Senior Lender’s failure to provide Subordinate Lender with a copy of any Default Notice delivered to Borrower shall not defeat or impair the subordination and other agreements herein made, nor shall it defeat, impair or prevent Senior Lender from exercising any of its rights or remedies as a result of such Default in whole or in part subject to Subordinate Lender’s right to cure upon Senior Lender’s delivery to Subordinate Lender of the applicable Default Notice. The foregoing cure periods shall automatically terminate upon the occurrence of a Proceeding. During any cure period granted herein to Subordinate Lender, Senior Lender shall be entitled to begin exercising any rights and remedies it has under the Senior Loan Documents and under applicable law as a result of such Default, and such Default shall not be cured unless and until the particular Default under the Senior Loan Documents has been remedied and Senior Lender has been fully reimbursed for all costs and expenses incurred by Senior Lender in so exercising its rights (including attorneys’ fees and costs and foreclosure costs).
(c) Subordinate Lender’s Right to Purchase Senior Loan. Upon delivery of a copy of the Default Notice to Subordinate Lender, Subordinate Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, to purchase the Senior Loan at par for a purchase price equal to the sum of (i) all amounts, if any, due and payable to Swap Bank in connection with the termination of any Swap Transactions and the early termination and acceleration of all Swap Transactions executed by Borrower, (ii) the outstanding principal balance of the Senior Loan, together with all accrued interest and other amounts due thereon (including, without limitation, any late charges, default interest, breakage fees, exit fees, advances and post petition interest), and (iii) any Protective Advances made by Administrative Agent, on behalf of Senior Lender, and any interest charged by Senior Lender on any advances for monthly payments of principal and/or interest on the Senior Loan
15
Obligations and/or on any Protective Advances), including all costs and expenses (including legal fees and expenses) actually incurred by Administrative Agent and Senior Lender in enforcing the terms of the Senior Loan Documents (the “Loan Purchase Price”). If Subordinate Lender elects in writing to purchase the Senior Loan (the “Purchase”), the Purchase shall close (“Purchase Closing Date”) on a date selected by Subordinate Lender that is no later than (30) days after the delivery of a copy of the Default Notice to Subordinate Lender. Concurrently with payment to Senior Lender of the Loan Purchase Price, Senior Lender shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Subordinate Lender all Senior Loan Documents held by or on behalf of Senior Lender and will execute in favor of Subordinate Lender or its designee assignment documentation, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Subordinate Lender, Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders, at the sole cost and expense of Subordinate Lender, to assign the Senior Loan and the rights of Senior Lender under the Senior Loan Documents (without recourse, representations or warranties, except for representations as to the outstanding balance of the Senior Loan and as to Senior Lender’s not having assigned or encumbered its rights in the Senior Loan). Upon consummation of the Purchase, Subordinate Lender shall be subrogated to the rights of Senior Lender under the Senior Loan Documents.
(d) Failure to Elect to Purchase Senior Loan. If Subordinate Lender has the right to purchase the Senior Loan under Section 8(c), and the Subordinate Lender does not elect to purchase the Senior Loan and close the Purchase by the Purchase Closing Date, then Senior Lender thereafter shall have the right to amend, modify, restructure or extend the Senior Deed of Trust or any other Senior Loan Documents (including without limitation any and all Special Modification Terms) without notice to or the consent of Subordinate Lender. In such event, the Mezzanine Loan, the Mezzanine Deed of Trust and the other Mezzanine Loan Documents and all indebtedness, obligations, liens and security interests evidenced or secured thereby or from time to time outstanding thereunder shall continue to be junior, subject, and subordinate in all respects to the Senior Loan, the Senior Deed of Trust and the Senior Loan Documents, as so amended, modified, extended, or restructured (including without limitation any and all Special Modification Terms). Third parties including title insurance companies insuring the priority of the Senior Deed of Trust are hereby authorized to rely on this provision as to the priority of the Senior Loan Documents, as so amended, modified, extended or restructured, without any requirement to confirm such senior position from Subordinate Lender.
(e) No Sale to Borrower Affiliate. Senior Lender covenants not to sell any of the Senior Loan Obligations to Borrower or any Borrower Affiliate without the prior written consent of Subordinate Lender. Subordinate Lender covenants not to sell any of the Mezzanine Loan Obligations to Borrower or any Borrower Affiliate without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders.
9. Changes in Special Modification Terms. Except as otherwise provided in Section 8(d), Senior Lender shall not modify any of the Special Modification Terms in the Senior Loan Documents without the prior written approval of Subordinate Lender. In addition and notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 9, any amounts funded by Senior
16
Lender under the Senior Loan Documents as a result of (A) the making of any Protective Advances by Senior Lender, or (B) interest accruals (including default interest and late charges), shall not be deemed to contravene this Section 9. Administrative Agent shall deliver to Subordinate Lender copies of any and all modifications, amendments, extensions, consolidations, spreaders, restatements, alterations, changes or revisions to any one or more of the Senior Loan Documents (including, without limitation, any side letters, waivers or consents entered into, executed or delivered by Administrative Agent, on behalf of Senior Lender) within a reasonable time after any of such applicable instruments have been executed by Administrative Agent.
10. Senior Lender’s Freedom of Action. Subordinate Lender agrees that Senior Lender may at any time and from time to time, without notice to or the consent of Subordinate Lender, and without affecting the subordination and other agreements herein made by Subordinate Lender, do any one or more of the following in Senior Lender’s sole and absolute discretion (subject, however, to the restriction on Special Modification Terms set forth herein):
(a) Extend, renew, modify, amend, increase, diminish or waive any of the terms of any of the Senior Loan Documents, including, without limitation, payment provisions under any of the Senior Loan Documents and provisions relating to the Property or grant any other indulgence to Borrower or any other Person in respect of any or all of the Senior Loan Obligations or any other matter;
(b) Make such Protective Advances as Senior Lender may deem appropriate (it being understood that Senior Lender has not in any way committed to make any such Protective Advances);
(c) At any time after Subordinate Lender’s Outside Date, add or substitute, or take any action or omit to take any action which results in the release of any endorser, guarantor or any collateral or security;
(d) Apply any sums received from Borrower, any guarantor, endorser, or cosigner, or from the disposition of any Senior Loan Collateral or security, to any indebtedness whatsoever owing from such Person or secured by such Senior Loan Collateral or security, in such manner and order as Senior Lender determines in its sole discretion, and regardless of whether such indebtedness is part of the Senior Loan Obligations, is secured, or is due and payable;
(e) Make loans or advances to Borrower secured in whole or in part by the Senior Loan Collateral or refrain from making any such loans or advances;
(f) Accept partial payments of, compromise or settle, refuse to enforce, or release all or any parties to, any or all of the Senior Loan Obligations;
(g) Settle, release (with or without receipt of consideration therefor, and whether by operation of law or otherwise), compound, compromise, collect or liquidate any of the Senior Loan Obligations in any manner permitted by applicable law; provided, however, Senior Lender shall not release any of the Senior Loan Collateral or any guarantor of the Senior Loan Obligations prior to Subordinate Lender’s Outside Date; and
17
(h) Accept, release (with or without receipt of consideration), waive, surrender, enforce, exchange, modify, impair or extend the time for the performance, discharge or payment of, any and all property of any kind securing any or all of the Senior Loan Obligations or any guaranty of any or all of the Senior Loan Obligations, or on which Senior Lender at any time may have a lien, or refuse to enforce its rights or make any compromise or settlement or agreement therefor in respect of any or all of such property; Senior Lender is not under and shall not hereafter be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of Subordinate Lender, or against or in payment of any or all of the Senior Loan Obligations, and may proceed against any of the Senior Loan Collateral in such order and manner as it elects; provided, however, Senior Lender shall not release any of the Senior Loan Collateral or any guarantor of the Senior Loan Obligations prior to Subordinate Lender’s Outside Date.
All such actions, rights and matters set forth in (a) through (h) above shall be senior in all respects to the Mezzanine Loan Obligations and the Mezzanine Loan Documents which shall automatically be subordinate to such actions, rights and matters set forth in (a) through (h) above. Third parties including title insurance companies insuring the priority of the Senior Loan Documents are hereby authorized to rely upon this provision as to the priority of such matters without requirement to confirm such senior position from Subordinate Lender.
11. Buy-Sell Rights. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, Subordinate Lender shall have the right, without the consent of Senior Lender in each instance, to exercise the Buy-Sell Rights after the Completion Date (as defined in the Senior Loan Documents).
12. No Transfer of Mezzanine Loan; Refinancing. Subordinate Lender agrees that it shall not sell, assign, pledge, encumber or otherwise transfer any portion of its interest in the Mezzanine Loan Documents without the prior written consent of the Required Lenders, which consent shall be given or withheld in the good faith business judgment of Required Lenders; provided, that Subordinate Lender shall have the right to transfer its interest in the Mezzanine Loan (or any part thereof or interest therein) to an Affiliate upon fifteen (15) days’ prior written notice to Administrative Agent and delivery to Administrative Agent by such affiliate of an assumption agreement whereby it assumes all of Subordinate Lender’s obligations hereunder. Any such transferee must assume in writing the obligations of Subordinate Lender hereunder and agree to be bound by the terms and provisions of this Agreement. Such transferee shall also reaffirm, in writing, in all material respects each of the representations and warranties contained herein for the benefit of Administrative Agent and Senior Lender. Subordinate Lender shall provide Administrative Agent, for the benefit of and distribution to Senior Lender, such financial and other information on the proposed assignee as Administrative Agent or Senior Lender reasonably requests. In addition, so long as any of the Senior Loan Obligations remains outstanding, any refinance of the Mezzanine Loan Obligations shall be subject to the prior written approval of the Required Lenders as to the terms thereof and the refinance lender, which approval may be granted or withheld by Required Lenders in their sole discretion.
13. Modification of Mezzanine Loan Documents. Subordinate Lender shall have the right, without the consent of Senior Lender in each instance, to enter into any amendment, deferral, extension, modification, increase, renewal, replacement, consolidation, supplement or
18
waiver (collectively, a “Mezzanine Loan Modification”) of the Mezzanine Loan or the Mezzanine Loan Documents; provided that no such Mezzanine Loan Modification shall (a) increase the interest rate or principal amount of the Mezzanine Loan; (b) increase in any other material respect any monetary obligations of Mezzanine Borrower under the Mezzanine Loan Documents; (c) shorten the scheduled maturity date of the Mezzanine Loan; (d) cross default the Mezzanine Loan with any other indebtedness; or (e) amend the payment provisions of the Mezzanine Note (or the definition of “Net Cash Flow” in the Mezzanine Note) or otherwise modify the amount or timing of the payments on the Mezzanine Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, any amounts funded by the Subordinate Lender under the Mezzanine Loan Documents as a result of (i) the making of any Protective Advances or other advances by the Subordinate Lender, or (ii) interest accruals or accretions and any compounding thereof (including default interest), shall not be deemed to contravene this Section 13. Subordinate Lender shall deliver to Administrative Agent, for distribution to Senior Lender, copies of any and all modifications, amendments, extensions, consolidations, spreaders, restatements, alterations, changes or revisions to any one or more of the Mezzanine Loan Documents (including, without limitation, any side letters, waivers or consents entered into, executed or delivered by Subordinate Lender) within a reasonable time after any of such applicable instruments have been executed by Subordinate Lender.
14. Dealings with Borrower.
(a) In making disbursements under any of the Senior Loan Documents, Senior Lender has no duty to, nor has Senior Lender represented that it will, see to the application of any proceeds by the Person or Persons to whom Senior Lender disburses such proceeds. Any application or use of such proceeds for purposes other than those provided for in the Senior Loan Documents does not and shall not defeat the subordination herein made, in whole or in part.
(b) In making disbursements under any of the Senior Loan Documents, Senior Lender may waive any and all conditions to a disbursement contained in the Senior Loan Documents. No such waiver shall defeat the subordination herein made, in whole or in part.
(c) The rights granted to Senior Lender hereunder are solely for its protection and nothing herein contained shall impose on Senior Lender any duties with respect to Borrower.
15. Assignment of the Senior Loan Obligations. Senior Lender may assign or transfer any or all of the Senior Loan Obligations and/or any interest therein or herein, subject to this Agreement, and, notwithstanding any such assignment or transfer or any subsequent assignment or transfer thereof, such Senior Loan Obligations shall be and remain senior to the Mezzanine Loan Obligations, and the Mezzanine Loan Obligations shall be and remain subject and subordinate to the Senior Loan Obligations for the purposes of this Agreement, and every immediate and successive assignee or transferee of any of the Senior Loan Obligations or of any interest therein or herein shall, to the extent of the interest of such assignee or transferee in the Senior Loan Obligations, be entitled to the benefits of this Agreement and subject to the burdens of this Agreement to the same extent as if such assignee or transferee were Senior Lender;
19
provided, however, that, unless Senior Lender shall otherwise consent in writing, Senior Lender shall have an unimpaired right, prior and superior to that of any such assignee or transferee, to enforce this Agreement, as to those portions of the Senior Loan Obligations which Senior Lender has not assigned or transferred.
16. Casualty. In the event of a casualty to the Improvements or a condemnation or taking under a power of eminent domain of all or any portion of the Property, Senior Lender shall have a first and prior interest in and to any payments, awards, proceeds, distributions, or consideration arising from any such event (the “Award”). However, if the amount of the Award is in excess of all amounts owed to Administrative Agent and Senior Lender under the Senior Loan Documents, then upon payment in full of the Senior Loan Obligations, such excess Award shall be paid to or at the direction of Subordinate Lender, unless other Persons have claims to such awards or proceeds, in which case Administrative Agent shall only be required to provide notice to Subordinate Lender of such excess Award and of any such claims thereto. In the event of any competing claims for any such excess Award other than claims by Borrower, Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such excess Award until Administrative Agent receives an agreement signed by all Persons making a claim to the excess Award or a final order of a court of competent jurisdiction directing Administrative Agent as to how and to which Persons, the excess Award is to be distributed. Alternatively, Administrative Agent may tender such excess Award to the registry of any state or federal court sitting in Dallas, Texas, pending resolution of all competing claims thereto, whereupon Administrative Agent shall have no further obligations with respect to such excess Award. If Administrative Agent shall release any Award or portion thereof to Borrower pursuant to the Senior Loan Documents in order to repair and restore the Property in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Senior Loan Documents, such Award or portion thereof made available to Borrower for the repair or restoration of the Property shall not be subject to attachment by Subordinate Lender
17. Bankruptcy.
(a) Upon any distribution of the assets or properties of Borrower or upon any dissolution, winding up, liquidation, bankruptcy or reorganization involving Borrower (whether in bankruptcy, insolvency or receivership proceedings or any other Proceeding, or upon an assignment for the benefit of creditors or otherwise):
(i) Senior Lender shall first be entitled to receive payment in full of the principal of and interest on the Senior Loan Obligations and all fees and any other payments (including post-petition interest and all costs and expenses) due pursuant to the terms of the Senior Loan Documents, before Subordinate Lender is entitled to receive any payment on account of the Mezzanine Loan Obligations; and
(ii) any payment or distribution of the assets or properties of Borrower of any kind or character, whether in cash, property, or securities, to which Subordinate Lender would be entitled except for the provisions of this Agreement, shall be paid by the debtor in possession, liquidating trustee or agent or other person making such payment or distribution directly to Senior Lender; and
20
(iii) in the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment or distribution of the assets or properties of Borrower of any kind or character, whether in cash, property, or securities, shall be received by Subordinate Lender on account of principal, interest, fees, or other amounts on or with respect to the Mezzanine Loan Obligations before all of the Senior Loan Obligations are paid in full, such payments or distribution shall be received and held in trust for and shall be paid over to Senior Lender forthwith, for application to the payment of the Senior Loan Obligations until all such Senior Loan Obligations shall have been paid in full in accordance with the terms of the Senior Loan Documents.
(b) To effectuate the foregoing, Subordinate Lender does hereby irrevocably assign to Senior Lender all of Subordinate Lender’s rights as a secured or unsecured creditor in any Proceeding and authorizes Senior Lender to take, or refrain from taking, any action to assert, enforce, modify, waive, release or extend Subordinate Lender’s lien and/or claim in such Proceeding, including but not limited to (i) filing a proof of claim arising out of the Mezzanine Loan Obligations, (ii) voting or refraining from voting claims arising from the Mezzanine Loan Obligations, either in Administrative Agent’s name, on behalf of Senior Lender, or in the name of Administrative Agent as attorney-in-fact of Subordinate Lender including without limitation, the right to vote to accept or reject a plan, or to make any election under Section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, and no other parties other than Administrative Agent shall have the right to exercise such voting rights, (iii) accepting or rejecting any payment or distribution made with respect to any claim arising from the Mezzanine Loan Obligations and applying such payment and distribution to payment of Senior Lender’s claim until the Senior Loan Obligations are paid and satisfied in full in accordance with their terms, and (iv) taking any and all actions and executing any and all instruments necessary to effectuate the foregoing and, among other things, to establish Senior Lender’s entitlement to assert Subordinate Lender’s claim in such Proceeding. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, with respect to any plan of reorganization proposed in a Proceeding in respect of which creditors are voting, Administrative Agent may vote on behalf of Subordinate Lender only if the proposed plan would result in Senior Lender being “impaired” (as such term is defined in the Bankruptcy Code).
(c) Subordinate Lender agrees that Administrative Agent and Senior Lender owe no fiduciary duty to Subordinate Lender in connection with the administration of the Senior Loan Obligations and the Senior Loan Documents and Subordinate Lender agrees not to assert any such claim. Administrative Agent, on behalf of Senior Lender, agrees that Subordinate Lender owes no fiduciary duty to Administrative Agent and Senior Lender in connection with the administration of the Mezzanine Loan and the Mezzanine Loan Documents and each of Administrative Agent and Senior Lender agree not to assert any such claim.
(d) No payment or distribution to Administrative Agent or Senior Lender pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement and no Protective Advance by Subordinate Lender shall entitle Subordinate Lender to exercise any right of subrogation in respect thereof prior to the payment in full of the Senior Loan Obligations, and Subordinate Lender agrees that, except with respect to the enforcement of its remedies under the
21
Mezzanine Loan Documents permitted hereunder, prior to the satisfaction of all Senior Loan Obligations, Subordinate Lender shall not acquire, by subrogation or otherwise, any lien, security interest, estate, right or other interest in any portion of the Property or any other collateral now securing the Senior Loan Obligations or the proceeds therefrom, including without limitation, any lien, security interest, estate, right or other interest in any portion of the Property that is or may be prior to, or of equal priority to, any of the Senior Loan Documents or the liens, rights, estates and interests created thereby.
(e) The provisions of this Agreement shall be applicable both before and after the commencement, whether voluntary or involuntary, of any Proceeding involving Borrower, Mezzanine Borrower or Investment Partnership. For as long as the Senior Loan Obligations shall remain outstanding, Subordinate Lender shall not, and shall not solicit any person or entity to, and shall not direct or cause any Borrower Affiliate to: (i) commence any Proceeding; (ii) institute proceedings to have any Borrower Affiliate adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent; (iii) consent to, or acquiesce in, the institution of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings against any Borrower Affiliate; (iv) file a petition or consent to the filing of a petition seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, winding up, dissolution, composition, liquidation or other relief by or on behalf of any Borrower Affiliate; (v) seek or consent to the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator, custodian or any similar official for any Borrower Affiliate, the Property (or any portion thereof) or any other collateral securing the Senior Loan Obligations (or any portion thereof); (vi) make an assignment for the benefit of any creditor of any Borrower Affiliate; (vii) seek to consolidate the Property or any other assets of any Borrower Affiliate with the assets of any other Borrower Affiliate in any Proceeding; or (viii) take any action in furtherance of any of the foregoing.
18. Additional Waivers and Agreements.
(a) Subordinate Lender waives the right to require Senior Lender to proceed against Borrower or any other Person liable on any Senior Loan Obligation, to proceed against or exhaust any security held from Borrower or other Person, or to pursue any other remedy in Senior Lender’s power whatsoever, and Subordinate Lender waives the right to have the property of Borrower first applied to the discharge of any Senior Loan Obligation. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Senior Lender may, at its election, exercise any right or remedy Senior Lender may have against Borrower or any security held by Senior Lender, including, without limitation, the right to foreclose upon any such security by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, whether or not every aspect of any such sale is commercially reasonable, without affecting or impairing in any way the obligations of Subordinate Lender hereunder, except to the extent the Senior Loan Obligations have been paid, and Subordinate Lender waives any defense arising out of the absence, impairment or loss of any right of reimbursement, contribution or subrogation or any other right or remedy against Borrower or any such security, whether resulting from such election by Senior Lender or otherwise except to the extent expressly set forth in this Agreement.
(b) Subordinate Lender assumes all responsibility for keeping itself informed as to the condition (financial or otherwise), business, assets and operations of Borrower,
22
the condition of any Senior Loan Collateral and all other circumstances that might in any way affect Subordinate Lender’s risk under this Agreement (including, without limitation, the risk of nonpayment of the Senior Loan Obligations), and Senior Lender shall have no duty or obligation whatsoever to obtain or disclose to Subordinate Lender any information or documents relative to such condition, business, assets, or operations of Borrower or such risk, whether acquired by Senior Lender in the course of its relationship with Borrower or otherwise.
(c) Subordinate Lender acknowledges that Senior Lender has made no warranties or representations to it with respect to the due execution, legality, validity, completeness or enforceability of the Senior Loan Documents or the collectability of the Senior Loan Obligations evidenced thereby.
(d) If any of the Senior Loan Obligations or any lien securing same, should be invalidated, avoided or set aside, the subordination provided for herein nevertheless shall continue in full force and effect and, as between Senior Lender and Subordinate Lender, shall be and be deemed to remain in full force and effect.
(e) So long as Subordinate Lender receives a Default Notice as provided in this Agreement and fails to cure the applicable Default within the time period provide in Section 8(b) above, Subordinate Lender expressly waives the right to receive any additional notice from Senior Lender of any judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure or sale of any real property or interest therein subject to the Senior Deed of Trust or other instruments, and Subordinate Lender’s failure to receive any such additional notice shall not impair or affect Subordinate Lender’s obligations to Senior Lender or the enforceability of this Agreement or any lien or any liens created hereby, granted to or otherwise held by Senior Lender.
(f) Subordinate Lender hereby expressly, unconditionally and irrevocably waives all rights (i) under Sections 361 through 365, 502(e) and 509 of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar sections hereafter in effect under any other Federal or state laws or legal or equitable principles relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganizations, liquidations or otherwise for the relief of debtors or protection of creditors), and (ii) to seek or obtain conversion to a different type of proceeding or to seek or obtain dismissal of a proceeding, in each case in relation to a bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency or other proceeding under similar laws with respect to Borrower. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Subordinate Lender hereby expressly, unconditionally and irrevocably waives (A) the right to seek to provide credit (secured or otherwise) to Borrower in any way under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code unless the same is subordinated in right and time of payment in all aspects to the Senior Loan Obligations in a manner acceptable to Senior Lender in its sole and absolute discretion; (B) the right to take a position inconsistent with or contrary to that of Senior Lender (including a position by Senior Lender to take no action) if Borrower seeks to use, sell or lease Senior Loan Collateral (or the proceeds or products thereof) under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code; (C) the right to receive any Senior Loan Collateral security (including any “super priority” or equal or “priming” or replacement lien) for any Mezzanine Loan Obligation unless Senior Lender has received a senior position acceptable to Senior Lender in its
23
sole and absolute discretion to secure all Senior Loan Obligations (in the same Senior Loan Collateral to the extent Senior Loan Collateral is involved); and (D) the right to seek adequate protection in respect of Senior Loan Collateral (or the proceeds or products thereof) under Section 363 or 361 of the Bankruptcy Code.

(h) Subordinate Lender agrees that it shall not prohibit Borrower from performing any act that Borrower is permitted to perform under the Senior Loan Documents, subject to any restrictions contained in this Agreement.
(i) This Agreement shall bind all successors and permitted assigns of Subordinate Lender, Administrative Agent and Senior Lender and shall inure to the benefit of all successors and permitted assigns of Administrative Agent, Senior Lender and Subordinate Lender. The rights of Administrative Agent and Senior Lender hereunder may be exercised only by Administrative Agent and any successor to Administrative Agent appointed pursuant to the Senior Construction Loan Agreement, on behalf of Senior Lender; provided, however, that Subordinate Lender shall have no obligation to deal with or accept performance from any party other than Administrative Agent unless and until Subordinate Lender receives notice of the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent named herein. Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required to, at any time request instructions from the Required Lenders with respect to any actions or approvals which, by the terms of this Agreement or of any of the Senior Construction Loan Documents, Administrative Agent is permitted or required to take or to grant without instructions from the Required Lenders, and if such instructions are requested, Administrative Agent shall be absolutely entitled to refrain from taking any action or to withhold any approval and shall not be under any liability whatsoever for refraining from taking any action or withholding any approval under this Agreement until it shall have received such instructions from the Required Lenders.

(k) Nothing herein contained shall operate to release (i) Borrower from its obligation to keep and perform all of the terms, conditions, obligations, covenants and agreements contained in the Senior Loan Documents, or any liability of Borrower under the Senior Loan Documents, or (ii) Mezzanine Borrower from its obligation to keep and
24
perform all of the terms, conditions, obligations, covenants and agreements contained in the Mezzanine Loan Documents or any liability of Mezzanine Borrower under the Mezzanine Loan Documents. This Agreement is a continuing agreement and shall remain in full force and effect until the earliest of (i) payment in full of the Senior Loan Obligations, or (ii) transfer of the Property by foreclosure of the Senior Deed of Trust or the exercise of the power of sale contained therein or by deed in lieu of foreclosure; provided, however, that any rights or remedies of either party hereto arising out of any breach of any provision hereof occurring prior to such date of termination shall survive such termination.
(l) In the event that any provision of this Agreement or the application hereof to any party hereto shall, to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable under any applicable statute, regulation, or rule of law, then such provision shall be deemed inoperative to the extent that it may conflict therewith and shall be deemed modified to conform to such statute, regulation or rule of law, and the remainder of this Agreement and the application of any such invalid or unenforceable provisions to parties, jurisdictions or circumstances other than to whom or to which it is held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby nor shall same affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement.
(m) Time is of the essence of this Agreement.
(n) Each of Administrative Agent and Senior Lender and Subordinate Lender are sophisticated lenders and/or investors in real estate and their respective decision to enter into the Senior Loan Obligations and the Mezzanine Loan Obligations, respectively, is based upon their own independent expert evaluation of the terms, covenants, conditions and provisions of, respectively, the Senior Loan Documents and the Mezzanine Loan Documents and such other matters, materials and market conditions and criteria which each of Administrative Agent, Senior Lender, and Subordinate Lender deem relevant. Each of Administrative Agent and Subordinate Lender has not relied in entering into this Agreement, and respectively, the Senior Loan Obligations, the Senior Loan Documents, the Mezzanine Loan or the Mezzanine Loan Documents, upon any oral or written information, representation, warranty or covenant from the other, or any of the other’s representatives, employees, Affiliates or agents other than the representations and warranties of the other contained herein. Each of Administrative Agent and Subordinate Lender further acknowledges that no employee, agent or representative of the other has been authorized to make, and that each of Administrative Agent and Subordinate Lender have not relied upon, any statements, representations, warranties or covenants other than those specifically contained in this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, each of Administrative Agent and Subordinate Lender acknowledges that the other has made no representations or warranties as to the Senior Loan Obligations or the Mezzanine Loan or the Property (including, without limitation, the cash flow of the Property, the value, marketability, condition or future performance thereof, the existence, status, adequacy or sufficiency of the leases, the tenancies or occupancies of the Property, or the sufficiency of the cash flow of the Property, to pay all amounts which may become due from time to time pursuant to the Senior Loan Documents or the Mezzanine Loan Documents).

19. Continuing Benefits. No right of Senior Lender or any present or future holder of the Senior Loan Obligations to enforce the subordination as provided herein shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of Borrower or any other party, whether borrower, guarantor or otherwise, or by any noncompliance by Borrower or any borrower, guarantor or otherwise with the terms of the Senior Note or any other of the Senior Loan Documents regardless of any knowledge thereof which such holder may have or be otherwise charged with.
20. No Waiver; Modification. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, neither this Agreement nor the transactions herein contemplated shall operate to waive the enforcement after the date hereof of any due on sale, due on encumbrance or accelerating transfer provision contained in the Senior Loan Documents or the Mezzanine Loan Documents. No delay on the part of Senior Lender or Subordinate Lender in the exercise of any right or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof, and no single or partial exercise by Senior Lender or Subordinate Lender of any right or remedy shall preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any right or remedy; nor shall any modification or waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement be binding upon Senior Lender or Subordinate Lender except as expressly set forth in a writing duly signed and delivered by or on behalf of Senior Lender or Subordinate Lender. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts.
21. Reinstatement of Agreement. The provisions of this Agreement shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Senior Loan Obligations or the Mezzanine Loan Obligations is invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, rescinded or must otherwise be returned by Senior Lender or Subordinate Lender, as the case may be, under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, all as though such payment had not been made.
22. Borrower’s Waiver. Each of Borrower and Mezzanine Borrower hereby waives (a) notice of acceptance of this Agreement by Senior Lender and Subordinate Lender, (b) notice of the existence or creation or nonpayment of all or any of the Senior Loan Obligations and the Mezzanine Loan Obligations, and (c) all diligence in the collection or protection of or realization upon the Senior Loan Obligations or the collateral therefor or the Mezzanine Loan Obligations.
23. Book Entry. Subordinate Lender will make appropriate entries in the books and records of Subordinate Lender to indicate that the Mezzanine Loan Obligations are subject to the Senior Loan Obligations.
