This Junior Loan Agreement (as the same may be amended or supplemented from time to time, this “Agreement”) is made as of the 14th day of August, 2009, by and between Rest Easy LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (together with its successors and assigns, the “Borrower”), and Behringer Harvard PAL I, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (together with its successors and assigns, the “Lender” or “Junior Lender”).
Recitals
Borrower has applied to Lender for a Loan (the “Junior Loan”) to finance certain costs related to the construction, revitalization, renovation and development of improvements on real property located or to be located at various United States Army (the “Army”) installations, specifically, Fort Hood, Texas, Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, Fort Xxxx, Virginia, Fort Polk, Louisiana, Fort Xxxxx, Kansas, Fort Xxxxxx, Alabama, Fort Xxx Houston, Texas, Tripler Army Medical Center and Fort Shafter, Hawaii, Fort Sill, Oklahoma, and Yuma Proving Ground, Arizona, through the Privatization of Army Lodging (“PAL”) pursuant to Xxxxx 00, Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Code, Section 2871 et. seq. In connection with the implementation of the PAL, the Army has agreed, among other things, to transfer the use of a portion of the installations’ lands under a long-term ground lease and several shorter term support leases and licenses and to convey the existing lodging and certain other improvements on the respective installations to the Borrower. The rentals, profits and income from such improvements will serve, together with the Mortgages and other Collateral, as security for the Junior Loan. Lender has agreed to make the Junior Loan on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and in the other documents evidencing and securing the Junior Loan.
Now, therefore, in consideration of the premises, and in further consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements herein set forth, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties covenant and agree as follows:
Agreements
Article I
General Information
Section 1.1 Conditions to Closing; Fees.
(a) The conditions precedent to closing the Junior Loan and recording the Mortgages set forth in the Letter of Intent are satisfied, subject to Borrower’s payment of the commitment fee as provided in Section 1.1(c) below and the delivery of the Guaranty as provided in Section 1.1(f) below.
(b) On or prior to the Closing, Borrower shall (i) pay to Lender an initial commitment fee for Lender’s commitment to fund the Junior Loan equal to $500,000, payable in immediately available funds, and (ii) pay, or provide funds for payment of, all reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with the Junior Loan, including, but

Article II
Advances of the Junior Loan
Section 2.1 Junior Loan Advances, Requisitions and Drawings.
(a) Borrower agrees to borrow the Junior Loan from Lender, and Lender agrees to lend the Junior Loan to Borrower, subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, in incremental advances which will not exceed, in the aggregate, the Junior Loan Amount. Interest shall accrue and be payable in arrears only on sums advanced hereunder for the period of time outstanding. The Junior Loan is not a revolving loan; amounts repaid may not be re-borrowed.
(b) Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, Lender will advance and Borrower will accept the Junior Loan installments as follows:
The Initial Advance will be made upon the satisfaction of the applicable conditions and upon payment of the then-due fees set forth in Section 1.1 and this Article II hereof, and all subsequent Advances shall be made periodically thereafter, upon the satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth herein, in amounts which shall be equal to the aggregate of the unpaid and unreimbursed Direct Costs and Indirect Costs specified in the Draw Request, less any costs covered by the Draw Request not approved, certified or verified as provided in Section 2.2 hereof, any Indirect Costs covered by a previous Draw Request for which any requested proof of payment or payment receipts have not been received by Lender, and/or any Direct Costs covered by a previous Draw Request for which any requested proof of payment or payment receipts or Lien Waivers have not been received by Lender and the Construction Consultant.
(c) Subsequent to the Initial Advance, Advances shall be made not more frequently than monthly based on Draw Requests signed by an Authorized Signer in the form attached hereto as Schedule 2 or in another form reasonably approved by Lender, each of which Draw Request shall include the applicable Payment Certificate issued by the Construction Consultant. Unless otherwise agreed to between Borrower and Lender, in accordance with the Lock Box Agreement, all Advances shall be deposited into the Loan Proceeds Sub-subaccount of the Construction Escrow Reserve Subaccount (as defined in the Lock Box Agreement) for application by the Cash Management Agent in accordance with the terms of the Lock Box Agreement. Each Draw Request for Direct Costs shall be set forth on AIA Forms G702 and G703 or another form reasonably approved by Lender, and shall be approved by the Construction Consultant and signed by the Design/Build Contractor. Draw Requests for Direct Costs shall show the percentage of completion of construction and shall set forth on a Component basis and in such detail as may be reasonably required by Construction Consultant or Lender the amounts expended and/or costs incurred for work done and materials incorporated in the Improvements. Each Draw Request shall be supported by such information and documentation (such as paid receipts, invoices, statements of accounts, lien releases, etc.) as Lender may reasonably require to assure that amounts requested are to be used to reimburse Borrower for costs previously paid by Borrower or to pay costs incurred by Borrower that are to be paid from proceeds of the Junior Loan, as set forth in the Xxxx
0
Xxx Xxxxxxxxx, the Design/Build Agreement and the applicable Component Budgets. If so required by the Lender, a request for an Advance shall also be accompanied by (i) a certificate of Borrower, signed by an officer of Borrower, to the effect that Borrower has paid or actually incurred costs in the amount of the requested Advance, that such costs have not been made the basis for any other request for an advance of Junior Loan proceeds under this Agreement or any other agreement between Borrower and Lender, that all representations and warranties of Borrower herein are true as of the time of such request, and that no material adverse change in Borrower’s financial condition has occurred since the immediately preceding Advance and (ii) a notice of title continuation or an endorsement to the title policy (or such other comparable clause or affirmative insurance or endorsement to title policy as is available in such jurisdiction) indicating that, since the date of the last preceding Advance, there has been no change in the state of title not approved by Lender and no survey exception not theretofore approved by Lender, which endorsement shall have the effect of increasing the coverage of the policy by the amount of the Advance then being made. Borrower shall only be entitled to payment in the amount and for such items as are approved in respect of each Draw Request.
(d) The Junior Loan shall be advanced from time to time as provided herein for the payment of costs described in Section 4.3 and Article V of the Lock Box Agreement. Lender shall not be obligated to make any advance unless all conditions to the making of an Advance under this Agreement have been and continue to be satisfied unless waived in writing by Lender.
(e) No subsequent Advances of the Junior Loan shall be advanced until the satisfaction of the following conditions:
(i) There shall be (1) no default by Borrower beyond applicable periods of notice and grace under this Agreement, the Junior Note, the Mortgages, or any other Junior Loan Document, (2) no Default (as defined in the PAL Lease) under the PAL Lease that Lender determines cannot be cured before the end of any applicable notice and cure period, (3) no Termination Default (as defined in the PAL Lease) under the PAL Lease, (4) no default that Lender determines cannot be cured before the end of any applicable notice and cure period under any Project Document (other than the PAL Lease), and (5) no “Event of Default” (as defined therein) under any Senior Loan Document or under any Subordinate Loan Document, unless in each instance waived in writing by Lender; and
(ii) Lender shall have received: (a) executed copies of this Agreement, the Junior Note, the Mortgages and the Environmental Agreement, which must be satisfactory to Lender in all respects, and the financing statements, (b) insurance policies or certificates of insurers evidencing the insurance required by the Mortgages, (c) paid title insurance policies in ALTA 1990 form or such other form acceptable to Lender, in the amount of the Junior Note, insuring the Mortgages to be valid liens on the Property free and clear of all defects and encumbrances not previously approved by Lender or its counsel, which shall contain no survey exceptions other than those previously approved by Lender, full coverage against
4
mechanics’ and materialmen’s liens, an undertaking by the issuer thereof to provide the notice of title continuation or endorsement above and a pending disbursements clause, (d) an opinion of counsel for Borrower in form and substance satisfactory to Lender, (e) all other conditions to receiving an Advance under this Agreement have been met, and (f) such other standard and customary documents, instruments, opinions or assurances as Lender or its counsel may reasonably request.
(f) If at the time of an Advance following the Initial Advance there are incurred costs which shall be paid by Borrower from such Advance and which have not been paid by Borrower, then prior to and as a condition to the next advance, Borrower shall submit to Lender proof reasonably satisfactory to Lender that such incurred costs have been paid in full.
(g) The Lender shall have the right to approve all material amendments to the Design/Build Agreement (except for Change Orders not requiring the consent of the Lender pursuant to the Design/Build Agreement).
(h) Borrower shall comply with the Project Schedule set forth in Schedule 4, unless the Lender approves a modification of such Schedule 4 in writing (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). The Lender shall not be obligated to fund any Advance after the Final Project Completion Date.
(i) Notwithstanding the foregoing, other than the Initial Advance made on the date hereof, no subsequent Advance shall be made hereunder unless and until (i) all amounts have been advanced by the Subordinate Lender pursuant to the Subordinate Loan; (ii) the amount to be funded by Lender in connection with such Draw Request shall not be greater than the amount necessary to satisfy the Draw Request taking into account the amount of the balance in the Excess NOI Sub-subaccount (as such capitalized term is defined in the Lock Box Agreement) as of the date of such Draw Request (except for any amount less than $10,000 retained in the Excess NOI subaccount); and (iii) the Control Agreements have been fully executed and delivered and are in full force and effect; provided, however, that the Borrower shall have three months from the date hereof to have all Control Agreements in place.
(j) Other than the Initial Advance made on the date hereof, subsequent Advances made by the Lender hereunder are subject to the conditions in Schedule 5 hereto.
(k) All disbursements from the Construction Escrow Reserve Subaccount shall be made in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Lock Box Agreement.
Section 2.2 Direct Costs Verification.
All Direct Costs shall be certified by the Design/Build Contractor and must be in accordance with the Direct Cost Statement (as the same may be updated and amended by the Borrower as necessary). Verification of the monthly progress and Direct Costs which have been
5
incurred by Borrower from time to time, and the estimated total Direct Costs, shall be conclusively determined by the Construction Consultant (absent manifest error).
Section 2.3 Office for Advances.
All advances to Borrower are to be made at such place as Lender may designate. Draw Requests together with all attachments thereto shall be received by Lender at least seven (7) Business Days prior to the date of the requested Advance and Borrower shall schedule a site inspection with Construction Consultant with respect to each such Advance on or before the date of the submission to the Lender of such Draw Request.
Section 2.4 Advances After Construction; Monthly Advances.
Amounts of the Direct Costs not advanced pursuant to this Section 2.4 or Section 2.1 hereof during the course of construction of the Improvements may be advanced by Lender in its sole discretion upon the satisfaction of the conditions set forth herein. Advances for Indirect Costs not advanced prior to completion of construction of the Improvements shall be advanced until exhausted, not more frequently than once a month, for Indirect Costs as incurred after such completion, upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth herein.
Section 2.5 Notice of Lender’s Rights to Make Advances.
(a) Lender may, in its absolute discretion, accelerate all or any portion of the amounts requested by Borrower to be advanced hereunder without regard to Borrower’s satisfaction of the conditions to its entitlement to Junior Loan proceeds and no person dealing with Borrower or the Design/Build Contractor and any Subcontractor or any other person shall have standing to demand any different performance from Lender.
(b) CONTRACTORS, SUBCONTRACTORS, LABORERS, and SUPPLIERS are cautioned that if Junior Loan advances are made under the alternative set forth in paragraph (a) above, proceeds of the Junior Loan remaining to be advanced at the time of the actual completion date, or at any time prior thereto, may be inadequate to pay all lienable claims incurred by Borrower and unpaid at that time.

(vii) Environmental Impairment Liability Insurance in such amounts as required by Lender at or prior to the Closing.
(viii) Such other and further insurance as may be required from time to time by Lender in order to comply with regular requirements and practices of Lender in similar transactions, so long as any such insurance is generally available at commercially reasonable premiums as mutually agreed upon by Lender and Borrower from time to time.

18
compensation insurance for all employees of the Design/Build Contractor meeting, respectively, the requirements of Subsections (a)(ii) and (iv), above.

Borrower shall promptly pay all premiums when due on such insurance and, not less than fifteen (15) days prior to the expiration dates of each such policy, Borrower will deliver to Lender acceptable evidence of insurance, such as a certificate of insurance, a renewal policy or policies marked “premium paid” or other evidence satisfactory to Lender reflecting that all required insurance is current and in force.

Lender shall not, because of accepting, rejecting, approving or obtaining insurance, incur any liability for (x) the existence, nonexistence, form or legal sufficiency thereof, (y) the solvency of any insurer, or (z) the payment of losses. Borrower may satisfy any insurance requirement hereunder by providing one or more “blanket” insurance policies covering other projects, subject to Lender’s approval in each instance as to limits, coverages, forms, deductibles, inception and expiration dates, and cancellation provisions. During any period of construction, the Borrower may provide the commercial general liability and workers’ compensation required in Subsections (a)(ii) and (a)(iv) of this Section 4.9 through the purchase of a wrap up contractor controlled insurance program sponsored by the Design/Builder.

Section 4.10 Adjustment of Condemnation and Insurance Claims.
Borrower shall give prompt Notice to Lender of any Casualty or any Condemnation or threatened Condemnation which is threatened in writing. Lender is authorized, at its sole and absolute option, to commence, appear in and prosecute, in its own or Borrower’s name, any action or proceeding relating to any Condemnation or Casualty, and to make proof of loss for and to settle or compromise any Claim in connection therewith. In such case, Lender shall, subject to the provisions of the Lease, have the right to receive all Condemnation Awards and Insurance Proceeds, and may deduct therefrom any or all of its Expenses. However, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and Borrower is diligently pursuing its rights and remedies with respect to a Claim, Borrower will obtain Lender’s written consent (which consent
19
shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) before making proof of loss for or settling or compromising each Claim if Lender is not exercising any of its rights pursuant to this Section, except Borrower shall have the right to make proof of loss for all covered property insurance claims without Lender’s written consent if less than $2,000,000. Borrower agrees to diligently assert its rights and remedies with respect to each Claim and to promptly pursue the settlement and compromise of each Claim subject to Lender’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, except approval is granted herein for covered property insurance claims less than $2,000,000. If, prior to the receipt by Lender of any Condemnation Award or Insurance Proceeds, the Property shall have been sold pursuant to the provisions of the applicable Mortgage, Lender shall have the right to receive such funds (a) to the extent of any deficiency found to be due upon such sale with interest thereon (whether or not a deficiency judgment on the applicable Mortgage shall have been sought or recovered or denied), and (b) to the extent necessary to reimburse Lender for its Expenses. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, all Condemnation Awards and Casualty Proceeds shall be applied in accordance with the Lease and the Lock Box Agreement. If any Condemnation Awards or Casualty Proceeds are paid to Borrower, Borrower shall immediately (and no later than ten (10) days after Borrower’s receipt thereof) deposit the same in accordance with the Lock Box Agreement, except to the extent already distributed to Borrower in accordance with the preceding sentence. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section to the contrary, so long as any Obligations remain outstanding, no Condemnation Awards or Casualty Proceeds shall be distributed to Borrower or on behalf of Borrower other than pursuant to the provisions of the Lock Box Agreement if Borrower elects not to repair, rebuild or restore the portion of the Project subject to any such Casualty or Condemnation. Borrower agrees to execute and deliver from time to time, upon the request of Lender, such further instruments or documents as may be reasonably requested by Lender to confirm the grant and assignment to Lender of any Condemnation Awards or Insurance Proceeds.
Section 4.11 Utilization of Net Award.
Net Award must be applied in accordance with the Lock Box Agreement.
Section 4.12 Management.
(a) Borrower at all times shall provide for the competent and responsible maintenance, management and operation of the Property in accordance with the requirements of the Lease.

Any management contract or contracts affecting the Property must be approved in writing by Lender (not to be unreasonably withheld conditioned or delayed) prior to the execution of the same and must be subordinate to the Mortgages (provided that Lender provides such contractor with customary non-disturbance rights which are in no event less expansive than the non-disturbance rights offered to InterContinental Hotel Group, Inc., or its affiliate, at the Closing). Any such management

All management, maintenance and/or operation contracts with such assignees must be approved in writing by Lender prior to the execution of the same, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. All such contracts must be collaterally assigned by Borrower to Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender acknowledges that Borrower will engage the Asset Manager, Hotel Operator and Development Manager to provide certain asset management, business management, property management, hotel management, development management and property maintenance services with respect to the Project and hereby consents to Borrower’s agreements with such Persons dated as of the date hereof.

All financial statements must be in form and detail acceptable to Lender and must be certified as to accuracy by Borrower, and the annual financial statements must be audited with an opinion satisfactory to Lender by an independent certified public accountant satisfactory to Lender. Borrower shall provide, upon Lender’s reasonable request, convenient facilities for the audit and verification of any such statement.
(b) Borrower shall provide Lender with certified quarterly profit and loss statements related to Project operations (including, without limitation, property operating statements of revenue and expenses and a balance sheet prepared in accordance with

GAAP and a statement of liabilities), within sixty (60) days following the end of each fiscal quarter of Borrower, in form and detail reasonably acceptable to Lender.

Section 4.15 Taxes.
Borrower shall pay and discharge (or cause to be paid and discharged) all Taxes prior to the date on which penalties are attached thereto unless and to the extent only that such Taxes are contested in accordance with the terms of the Mortgages.

22
satisfactory evidence of such compliance and notify Lender of the information reported in connection with such compliance.
Section 4.16 Lender’s Rights to Pay and Perform.
If, after any required notice, Borrower fails to promptly pay or perform any of the Obligations within any applicable grace or cure periods, Lender, without Notice to or demand upon Borrower, and without waiving or releasing any Obligation or Default, may (but shall be under no obligation to) at any time thereafter make such payment or perform such act for the account and at the expense of Borrower. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may enter upon the Property for that purpose and take all action thereon as Lender reasonably considers necessary or appropriate. At the option of Lender, following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may apply any undisbursed Junior Loan proceeds to the satisfaction of such Event of Default. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may pay directly from the undisbursed proceeds of the Junior Loan all interest bills rendered by Lender in connection with the Junior Loan, and make advances directly to the Design/Build Contractor, the title insurance company, any subcontractor or material supplier, the lessor under the Lease, any manager or supplier of the Project, any provider of utility services, or to any of them jointly. The execution hereof by Borrower shall, and hereby does, constitute an irrevocable authorization so to advance the undisbursed proceeds of the Junior Loan following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default. No further direction or authorization from Borrower shall be necessary to warrant such direct advances. Each Advance shall be secured by the Mortgages and shall satisfy the obligations of Lender hereunder to the extent of the amount of the advance.
Section 4.17 Reimbursement; Interest.
If Lender shall incur any Expenses or pay any Claims by reason of the Junior Loan or the rights and remedies provided under the Junior Loan Documents (regardless of whether or not any of the Junior Loan Documents expressly provide for an indemnification by Borrower against such Claims), Lender’s payment of such Expenses and Claims shall constitute advances to Borrower which shall be paid by Borrower to Lender on demand, together with interest thereon from the date incurred until paid in full at the rate of interest then applicable to the Junior Loan under the terms of the Junior Note. Each Advance shall be secured by the Mortgages and the other Junior Loan Documents as fully as if made to Borrower, regardless of the disposition thereof by the party or parties to whom such Advance is made. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, in any action or proceeding to foreclose the Mortgages or to recover or collect the Obligations, the provisions of Law governing the recovery of costs, disbursements and allowances shall prevail unaffected by this Section.
Section 4.18 Notification by Borrower.
Borrower will promptly give Notice to Lender of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder or under any of the other Junior Loan Documents or any event of default by Borrower after applicable notice and cure periods under the Project Documents or any material default under the Project Documents (except for the PAL Lease) and any Default or Termination
23
Default (as such capitalized terms are defined in the PAL Lease) under the PAL Lease.

The agreements and indemnifications contained in this Section shall apply to Claims arising both before and after the repayment of the Junior Loan and shall survive the repayment of the Junior Loan, any foreclosure or deed, assignment or conveyance in lieu thereof and any other action by Lender to enforce the rights and remedies of Lender hereunder or under the other Junior Loan Documents. Borrower shall employ suitable means to protect from theft or vandalism all portions of the Improvements and all tools and building materials stored on the Land. Upon demand by an Indemnified Party, Borrower shall diligently defend any Environmental Claim which relates to the Project or is threatened or commenced against such Indemnified Party, all at Borrower’s own cost and expense and by counsel to be approved by Lender in the exercise of its reasonable judgment. In the alternative, Lender may elect, at any time and for any reason, to conduct its own defense through counsel selected by Lender and at the reasonable cost and expense of Borrower.

Borrower shall provide reasonable access to the Property to any such appraiser as reasonably necessary to complete the appraisal; provided, however, that in connection with any such access, such third-party appraiser shall use reasonable efforts not to interfere with the Project and/or the operation of Borrower’s and its agents’ and representatives’ business during any such inspection.

(a) Lender may terminate its obligation to advance any further principal of the Junior Loan pursuant to this Agreement by Notice to Borrower.
(b) Lender may accelerate all of Borrower’s Obligations under the Junior Loan Documents, whether or not matured and regardless of the adequacy of any other collateral securing the Junior Loan, whereupon such Obligations shall become immediately due and payable, without notice of default, acceleration or intention to accelerate, presentment or demand for payment, protest or notice of nonpayment or dishonor, or notices or demands of any kind or character (all of which are hereby waived by Borrower); it being acknowledged and agreed by Lender that any such acceleration shall be without the imposition of any prepayment fee or prepayment penalty of any kind.
(c) Lender may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for, and obtain appointment of, a receiver for the Property.
(d) Subject to the terms of the Lock Box Agreement, Lender may set off the amounts due Lender under the Junior Loan Documents against any and all accounts, credits, money, securities or other property of Borrower now or hereafter on deposit with, held by or in the possession of Lender to the credit or for the account of Borrower, without notice to or the consent of Borrower, and any and all funds in the funds and accounts established under the Lock Box Agreement will be applied to the payment of the Junior Loan pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Lock Box Agreement.
(e) Lender may make Protective Advances and any such Protective Advances shall bear interest at the Past Due Rate under the Junior Note.
(f) Lender may enter into possession of the Property and perform any and all work and labor necessary to complete the development of the Land and the Construction of the Improvements (whether or not in accordance with the Plans and Specifications) and to employ watchmen to protect the Property and the Improvements. All sums expended by Lender for such purposes shall be deemed to have been advanced to Borrower under the Junior Note and shall be secured by the Mortgages. For this purpose, Borrower hereby constitutes and appoints Lender its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with
35
full power of substitution, which power is coupled with an interest, to complete the work in the name of Borrower, and hereby empowers said attorney or attorneys, in the name of Borrower or Lender:
(i) To use any funds of Borrower including any balance which may be held by Lender and any funds which may remain unadvanced hereunder for the purpose of completing the development of the Land and the construction of the Improvements, whether or not in the manner called for in the Plans and Specifications;
(ii) To make such additions and changes and corrections to the Plans and Specifications as shall be necessary or desirable in the judgment of Lender to complete the development of the Land and the construction of the Improvements;
(iii) To employ such contractors, subcontractors, agents, architects and inspectors as shall be necessary or desirable for said purpose;
(iv) To pay, settle or compromise all existing bills and claims which are or may be liens against the Property, or may be necessary or desirable for the completion of the work or the clearance of title to the Property;
(v) To execute all applications and certificates which may be required in the name of Borrower;
(vi) To enter into, enforce, modify or cancel the Lease and to fix or modify Rents on such terms as Lender may consider proper;
(vii) To file for record, at Borrower’s cost and expense and in Borrower’s name, any notices of completion, notices of cessation of labor, or any other notices that Lender in its sole and absolute discretion may consider necessary or desirable to protect its security; and
(viii) To do any and every act with respect to the development of the Land and the construction of the Improvements which Borrower may do in its own behalf.
(g) It is understood and agreed that this power of attorney shall be deemed to be a power coupled with an interest which cannot be revoked. Said attorney-in-fact shall also have the power to prosecute and defend all actions or proceedings in connection with the development of the Land and the construction of the Improvements and to take such actions and to require such performance as Lender may deem reasonably necessary.
(h) Borrower hereby constitutes and appoints Lender its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution, which power is coupled with an interest, and hereby empowers said attorney or attorneys, in the name of Borrower or Lender, to exercise any remedies available to Lender under the Collateral Assignment; provided, however, such power of attorney shall be exercisable only during the continuation of an Event of Default.
36
Section 7.2 No Release or Waiver; Remedies Cumulative and Concurrent.
Borrower shall not be relieved of any Obligation by reason of the failure of Lender to comply with any request of Borrower or of any other Person to take action to foreclose on the Property under the Mortgages or otherwise to enforce any provision of the Junior Loan Documents, or by reason of the release, regardless of consideration, of all or any part of the Property. No delay or omission of Lender to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing upon the happening of an Event of Default shall impair any such right, power or remedy or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such Event of Default or any acquiescence therein. No delay or omission on the part of Lender to exercise any option for acceleration of the maturity of the Obligations, or for foreclosure of any of the Mortgages following any Event of Default as aforesaid, or any other option granted to Lender hereunder in any one or more instances, or the acceptance by Lender of any partial payment on account of the Obligations shall constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default and each such option shall remain continuously in full force and effect. No remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to Lender is intended to be exclusive of any other remedies provided for in the Junior Loan Documents, and each and every such remedy shall be cumulative, and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder, or under the Junior Loan Documents, or now or hereafter existing at Law or in equity or by statute. Every right, power and remedy given by the Junior Loan Documents to Lender shall be concurrent and may be pursued separately, successively or together against Borrower or the Property or any part thereof, and every right, power and remedy given by the Junior Loan Documents may be exercised from time to time as often as may be deemed expedient by Lender.
Article VIII
Miscellaneous
Section 8.1 Further Assurances; Authorization to File Documents.
At any time, and from time to time, upon request by Lender, Borrower will, at Borrower’s expense, (a) correct any defect, error or omission which may be discovered in the form or content of any of the Junior Loan Documents, and (b) make, execute, deliver and record, or cause to be made, executed, delivered and recorded, any and all further instruments, certificates and other documents as may, in the opinion of Lender, be reasonably necessary or desirable in order to complete, perfect or continue and preserve the lien of the Mortgages; provided, however, that the foregoing shall in no event be deemed to require Borrower to take any action that would increase its obligations or decrease its rights under this Agreement and the Junior Loan Documents. Upon any failure by Borrower to do so, Lender may make, execute and record any and all such instruments, certificates and other documents for and in the name of Borrower, all at the sole expense of Borrower, and Borrower hereby appoints Lender the agent and attorney-in-fact of Borrower to do so, this appointment being coupled with an interest and being irrevocable. Without limitation of the foregoing, Borrower irrevocably authorizes Lender at any time and from time to time to file any initial financing statements, amendments thereto and continuation statements reasonably deemed necessary or desirable by Lender to establish or maintain the validity, perfection and priority of the security interests granted in the Mortgages, and Borrower ratifies any such filings made by Lender prior to the date hereof. In addition, at any time, and from time to time, upon reasonable request by Lender, Borrower will, at Borrower’s expense, provide any and all further instruments, certificates and other documents as
37
may, in the reasonable opinion of Lender, be necessary or desirable in order to verify the Borrower’s identity and background in a manner satisfactory to Lender.
Section 8.2 No Warranty by Lender.
By accepting or approving anything required to be observed, performed or fulfilled by Borrower or to be given to Lender pursuant to this Agreement, including any certificate, Survey, receipt, appraisal or insurance policy, Lender shall not be deemed to have warranted or represented the sufficiency, legality, effectiveness or legal effect of the same, or of any term, provision or condition thereof and any such acceptance or approval thereof shall not be or constitute any warranty or representation with respect thereto by Lender.
Section 8.3 Standard of Conduct of Lender.
Unless otherwise set forth in this Agreement or any other Junior Loan Document or Project Document, nothing contained in this Agreement or any other Junior Loan Document shall limit the right of Lender to exercise its business judgment or to act, in the context of the granting or withholding of any Advance or consent under this Agreement or any other Junior Loan Document or Project Document, in a subjective manner, whether or not objectively reasonable under the circumstances, so long as Lender’s exercise of its business judgment or action is made or undertaken reasonably and in good faith. Borrower and Lender intend by the foregoing to set forth and affirm their entire understanding with respect to the standard pursuant to which Lender’s duties and obligations are to be judged and the parameters within which Lender’s discretion may be exercised hereunder and under the other Junior Loan Documents and Project Documents, except as otherwise set forth therein. As used herein, “good faith” means honesty in fact in the conduct and transaction concerned.
Section 8.4 No Partnership.
Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed in a manner to create any relationship between Borrower and Lender other than the relationship of borrower and lender and Borrower and Lender shall not be considered partners or co-venturers for any purpose on account of this Agreement.
Section 8.5 Severability.
In the event any one or more of the provisions of this Agreement or any of the other Junior Loan Documents shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, in whole or in part or in any other respect, or in the event any one or more of the provisions of any of the Junior Loan Documents operates or would prospectively operate to invalidate this Agreement or any of the other Junior Loan Documents, then and in either of those events, at the option of Lender, such provision or provisions only shall be deemed null and void and shall not affect the validity of the remaining Obligations, and the remaining provisions of the Junior Loan Documents shall remain operative and in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, prejudiced or disturbed thereby.
38
Section 8.6 Notices.
All Notices required or which any party desires to give hereunder or under any other Junior Loan Document shall be in writing and, unless otherwise specifically provided in such other Junior Loan Document, shall be deemed sufficiently given or furnished if delivered by personal delivery, by nationally recognized overnight courier service or by certified United States mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, addressed to the party to whom directed at the applicable address set forth below (unless changed by similar notice in writing given by the particular party whose address is to be changed) or by facsimile. Any Notice shall be deemed to have been given either at the time of personal delivery or, in the case of courier or mail, as of the date of first attempted delivery at the address and in the manner provided herein, or, in the case of facsimile, upon receipt; provided that service of a Notice required by any applicable statute shall be considered complete when the requirements of that statute are met. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no notice of change of address shall be effective except upon actual receipt. This Section shall not be construed in any way to affect or impair any waiver of notice or demand provided in this Agreement or in any other Junior Loan Document or to require giving of notice or demand to or upon any Person in any situation or for any reason.

Section 8.7 Permitted Successors and Assigns; Disclosure of Information.
(a) Each and every one of the covenants, terms, provisions and conditions of this Agreement and the Junior Loan Documents shall apply to, bind and inure to the benefit of Borrower, its successors and those assigns of Borrower consented to in writing by Lender, and shall apply to, bind and inure to the benefit of Lender and the endorsees, transferees, successors and assigns of Lender, and all Persons claiming under or through any of them.
(b) Borrower agrees not to transfer, assign, pledge or hypothecate any right or interest in any payment or advance due pursuant to this Agreement, or any of the other benefits of this Agreement, without the prior written consent of Lender, which consent may be withheld by Lender in its sole and absolute discretion. Any such transfer, assignment, pledge or hypothecation made or attempted by Borrower without the prior written consent of Lender shall be void and of no effect. No consent by Lender to an assignment shall be deemed to be a waiver of the requirement of prior written consent by Lender with respect to each and every further assignment and as a condition precedent to the effectiveness of such assignment.
(c) Lender may sell or offer to sell the Junior Loan or interests therein to one or more assignees or participants. Borrower shall execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all instruments reasonably requested by Lender in connection therewith, and to the
40
extent, if any, specified in any such assignment or participation, such assignee(s) or participant(s) shall have the same rights and benefits with respect to the Junior Loan Documents as such Person(s) would have if such Person(s) were Lender hereunder. Lender may disseminate any information it now has or hereafter obtains pertaining to the Junior Loan, including any security for the Junior Loan, any credit or other information on the Property (including environmental reports and assessments), Borrower or any of Borrower’s principals, to any actual or prospective assignee or participant, to Lender’s Affiliates, to any regulatory body having jurisdiction over Lender, to any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to Borrower and the Junior Loan, or to any other party as necessary or appropriate in Lender’s reasonable judgment, provided all such parties (other than regulatory bodies) agree to use best efforts to keep any such information so provided confidential (subject to any requirements to disclose such information to governmental or regulatory authorities and subject to the ability to provide such information to their respective legal counsel or accountants).
Section 8.8 Amendment; Modification; Waiver.
None of the terms or provisions of this Agreement may be amended, changed, waived, modified, discharged or terminated except by instrument in writing executed by the party or parties against whom enforcement of the amendment, change, waiver, modification, discharge or termination is asserted. None of the terms or provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been abrogated or waived by reason of any failure or failures to enforce the same. No failure or delay by Lender in exercising any right or privilege hereunder or under any other instrument contemplated hereby shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.
Section 8.9 Third Parties; Benefit.
All conditions to the obligation of Lender to make advances hereunder are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of Lender and its assigns and no other Persons 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 advances in the absence of strict compliance with any or all thereof and no other Person shall, under any circumstances, be deemed to be the beneficiary of such conditions, any or all of which may be freely waived in whole or in part by Lender at any time in the sole and absolute exercise of its discretion. The terms and provisions of this Agreement are for the benefit of the parties hereto and, except as herein specifically provided, no other Person shall have any right or cause of action on account thereof.

In addition, it is hereby further acknowledged and agreed that ALL ACTIONS OR PROCEEDINGS ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE TRIED AND LITIGATED IN STATE OR FEDERAL COURTS LOCATED IN THE STATE AND COUNTY OF NEW YORK AND EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY ACCEPTS FOR ITSELF AND IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY, GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY, THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE AFORESAID COURTS AND IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO THE JURISDICTION OF ANY OF THE AFOREMENTIONED COURTS IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING. THE PARTIES HERETO EACH HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ANY OBJECTION WHICH THEY MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY OF THE
42
AFORESAID ACTIONS OR PROCEEDINGS ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT BROUGHT IN THE COURTS REFERRED TO ABOVE AND HEREBY FURTHER IRREVOCABLY WAIVES AND AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM IN ANY SUCH COURT THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM OR LACKS JURISDICTION OVER SUCH PARTY. IT IS THE INTENT AND PURPOSE OF THE PARTIES HERETO THAT THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 5-1402 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SHALL APPLY TO THIS AGREEMENT.

Section 8.15 Electronic Transmission of Data.
Lender and Borrower agree that certain data related to the Junior Loan (including confidential information, documents, applications and reports) may be transmitted electronically, including transmission over the Internet. This data may be transmitted to, received from or circulated among agents and representatives of Borrower and/or Lender and their Affiliates and other Persons involved with the subject matter of this Agreement, including any servicer of the Junior Loan. Borrower and Lender acknowledge and agree that (a) there are risks associated with the use of electronic transmission and that neither Borrower nor Lender controls the method of transmittal or service providers, (b) Borrower and Lender have no obligation or responsibility whatsoever and assume no duty or obligation for the security, receipt or third-party interception of any such transmission, and (c) Borrower and Lender will release, hold harmless and indemnify each other from any claim, damage or loss, including that arising in whole or part from strict liability or sole, comparative or contributory negligence, which is related to the electronic transmission of data.
Section 8.16 Dispute Resolution.
(a) Arbitration. Except to the extent expressly provided below, any Dispute shall, upon the request of either party, be determined by binding arbitration in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act, Xxxxx 0, Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Code (or if not applicable, the applicable state law), the then-current rules for arbitration of financial services disputes of AAA and the “Special Rules” set forth below. In the event of any inconsistency, the Special Rules shall control. The filing of a court action is not intended to constitute a waiver of the right of Borrower or Lender, including the suing party, thereafter to require submittal of the Dispute to arbitration. Any party to this Agreement may bring an action, including a summary or expedited proceeding, to compel arbitration of any Dispute in any court having jurisdiction over such action. For the purposes of this Dispute Resolution Section only, the terms “party” and “parties” shall include any parent corporation, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender involved in the servicing, management or administration of any obligation described in or evidenced by this Agreement, together with the officers, employees, successors and assigns of each of the foregoing.
43
(b) Special Rules.
(i) If the arbitration relates to collateral, the arbitration shall be conducted in any U.S. state where real or tangible personal property collateral is located or, if it does not relate to collateral, in the State of New York.
(ii) The arbitration shall be administered by AAA, who will appoint an arbitrator; if AAA is unwilling or unable to administer the arbitration, or if AAA is unwilling or unable to enforce or legally precluded from enforcing any and all provisions of this Dispute Resolution Section, then any party to this Agreement may substitute another arbitration organization that has similar procedures to AAA and that will observe and enforce any and all provisions of this Dispute Resolution Section. All Disputes shall be determined by one arbitrator; however, if the amount in controversy in a Dispute exceeds Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000), upon the request of any party, the Dispute shall be decided by three arbitrators (for purposes of this Agreement, referred to collectively as the “arbitrator”).
(iii) All arbitration hearings will be commenced within ninety (90) days of the demand for arbitration and completed within ninety (90) days from the date of commencement; provided, however, that upon a showing of good cause, the arbitrator shall be permitted to extend the commencement of such hearing for up to an additional sixty (60) days.
(iv) The judgment and the award, if any, of the arbitrator shall be issued within thirty (30) days of the close of the hearing. The arbitrator shall provide a concise written statement setting forth the reasons for the judgment and for the award, if any. The arbitration award, if any, may be submitted to any court having jurisdiction to be confirmed and enforced, and such confirmation and enforcement shall not be subject to arbitration.
(v) The arbitrator will give effect to statutes of limitations and any waivers thereof in determining the disposition of any Dispute and may dismiss one or more claims in the arbitration on the basis that such claim or claims is or are barred. For purposes of the application of the statute of limitations, the service on AAA under applicable AAA rules of a notice of Dispute is the equivalent of the filing of a lawsuit.
(vi) Any dispute concerning this arbitration provision, including any such dispute as to the validity or enforceability of this provision, or whether a Dispute is arbitrable, shall be determined by the arbitrator; provided, however, that the arbitrator shall not be permitted to vary the express provisions of these Special Rules or the Reservations of Rights in subsection (c) below.
(vii) The arbitrator shall have the power to award legal fees and costs pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
44
(viii) The arbitration will take place on an individual basis with reference to, resort to, or consideration of any form of class or class action.
(c) Reservations of Rights. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to (i) limit the applicability of any otherwise applicable statutes of limitation and any waivers contained in this Agreement, or (ii) apply to or limit the right of Lender upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default (A) to exercise self help remedies such as (but not limited to) setoff, or (B) to foreclose judicially or nonjudicially against any real or personal property collateral, or to exercise judicial or nonjudicial power of sale rights in any jurisdiction in which the Collateral, or any part thereof, is located, (C) to obtain from a court provisional or ancillary remedies such as (but not limited to) injunctive relief, writ of possession, prejudgment attachment, or the appointment of a receiver, or (D) to pursue rights against a party to this Agreement in a third-party proceeding in any action brought against Lender in a state, federal or international court, tribunal or hearing body (including actions in specialty courts, such as bankruptcy and patent courts). Lender may exercise the rights set forth in clauses (A) through (D), inclusive, before, during or after the pendency of any arbitration proceeding brought pursuant to this Agreement. Neither the exercise of self help remedies nor the institution or maintenance of an action for foreclosure or provisional or ancillary remedies shall constitute a waiver of the right of any party, including the claimant in any such action, to arbitrate the merits of the Dispute occasioning resort to such remedies. No provision in the Junior Loan Documents regarding submission to jurisdiction and/or venue in any court is intended or shall be construed to be in derogation of the provisions in any Junior Loan Document for arbitration of any Dispute.
(d) Conflicting Provisions for Dispute Resolution. If there is any conflict between the terms, conditions and provisions of this Section and those of any other provision or agreement for arbitration or dispute resolution, the terms, conditions and provisions of this Section shall prevail as to any Dispute arising out of or relating to (i) this Agreement, (ii) any other Junior Loan Document, (iii) any related agreements or instruments, or (iv) the transaction contemplated herein or therein (including any claim based on or arising from an alleged personal injury or business tort). In any other situation, if the resolution of a given Dispute is specifically governed by another provision or agreement for arbitration or dispute resolution, the other provision or agreement shall prevail with respect to said Dispute.

45
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, nothing herein shall be deemed to be a waiver of any right which Lender may have under Sections 506(a), 506(b), 1111(b) or any other provision of the Federal Bankruptcy Code or any similar federal or state statute to file a claim for the full amount of the Obligations secured hereby or to require that all Collateral shall continue to secure all Obligations owing to Lender in accordance with the Junior Note, this Agreement and the other Junior Loan Documents. The foregoing will in no way limit Lender’s recourse to the Collateral following an Event of Default or limit the liability under any Contract to which any Affiliate of Borrower is a party and which has been assigned to Junior Lender as Collateral for the Junior Loan, including but not limited to the Construction Guaranty of even date herewith and any Contract assigned as Collateral under the Assignment of Contracts, Permits and Approvals of even date herewith executed by Borrower and the other parties thereto and the Collateral Assignment of Lodging Management Agreement also of even date herewith executed by Borrower and the other parties thereto.

THIS PROVISION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE PARTIES ENTERING INTO THE JUNIOR LOAN DOCUMENTS. BORROWER AND LENDER ARE EACH HEREBY AUTHORIZED TO FILE A COPY OF THIS SECTION IN ANY PROCEEDING AS CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OF THIS WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. BORROWER FURTHER REPRESENTS AND WARRANTS THAT IT HAS BEEN REPRESENTED IN THE SIGNING OF THIS AGREEMENT AND IN THE MAKING OF THIS WAIVER BY INDEPENDENT LEGAL COUNSEL, OR HAS HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE REPRESENTED BY INDEPENDENT LEGAL COUNSEL SELECTED OF ITS OWN FREE WILL, AND THAT IT HAS HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO DISCUSS THIS WAIVER WITH COUNSEL.
Section 8.19 Additional Waivers.
BORROWER FURTHER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT BY OR ON BEHALF OF LENDER WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE JUNIOR NOTE OR OTHERWISE IN RESPECT OF THE JUNIOR LOAN, ANY AND EVERY RIGHT BORROWER MAY HAVE TO (X) INJUNCTIVE RELIEF, (Y) INTERPOSE ANY COUNTERCLAIM THEREIN, OTHER THAN A
46
COMPULSORY COUNTERCLAIM, AND (Z) HAVE THE SAME CONSOLIDATED WITH ANY OTHER OR SEPARATE SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING. NOTHING CONTAINED IN THE IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING SENTENCE SHALL PREVENT OR PROHIBIT BORROWER FROM INSTITUTING OR MAINTAINING A SEPARATE ACTION AGAINST LENDER WITH RESPECT TO ANY ASSERTED CLAIM. NOTWITHSTANDING ANY PROVISION TO THE CONTRARY IN ANY JUNIOR LOAN DOCUMENT, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, BORROWER AND LENDER SHALL NOT ASSERT, AND EACH HEREBY WAIVES, ANY CLAIM AGAINST THE OTHER ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY FOR SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES (AS OPPOSED TO DIRECT OR ACTUAL DAMAGES) ARISING OUT OF, IN CONNECTION WITH, OR AS A RESULT OF, ANY JUNIOR LOAN DOCUMENT OR ANY AGREEMENT OR INSTRUMENT CONTEMPLATED THEREBY, THE JUNIOR LOAN OR THE USE OF THE PROCEEDS THEREOF.
Section 8.20 Limitation on Liability.
Borrower waives any right to assert or make any claim against Lender (or to xxx Lender upon any claim for) any special, indirect, incidental, punitive or consequential damages in respect of any breach or wrongful conduct (whether the claim is based on contract, tort or duty imposed by law) in connection with, arising out of or in any way related to this Agreement, the other Junior Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby and/or thereby, or any act, omission or event in connection therewith.
Section 8.21 Entire Agreement.
The Junior Loan Documents constitute the entire understanding and agreement between Borrower and Lender with respect to the transactions arising in connection with the Junior Loan, and supersede all prior written or oral understandings and agreements between Borrower and Lender with respect to the matters addressed in the Junior Loan Documents. In particular, and without limitation, the terms of the Letter of Intent and any commitment by Lender to make the Junior Loan are merged into the Junior Loan Documents. Except as incorporated in writing into the Junior Loan Documents, there are no representations, understandings, stipulations, agreements or promises, oral or written, with respect to the matters addressed in the Junior Loan Documents.
Section 8.22 Lost Junior Note.
Upon receipt of an affidavit of an officer of Lender as to the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of the Junior Note or any other security document which is not of public record, and, in the case of any such loss, theft, destruction or mutilation, upon cancellation of the Junior Note or other security document, Borrower will, at Lender’s sole cost and expense, issue, in lieu thereof, a replacement note or other security document in the same principal amount thereof and otherwise of like tenor.
47
Section 8.23 Method of Payment.
All payments due hereunder and/or under the Junior Note shall be made by Borrower to Lender at the address and in the manner provided in the Junior Note or such other place as Lender may from time to time specify in writing in lawful currency of the United States of America in immediately available funds, without counterclaim or setoff and free and clear of, and without any deduction or withholding for, any taxes or other payments.
Section 8.24 Pledge to the Federal Reserve.
Lender may at any time pledge or assign all or any portion of its rights under the Junior Loan Documents which evidence and/or secure the Junior Loan to any of the twelve (12) Federal Reserve Banks organized under Section 4 of the Federal Reserve Act, 12 U.S.C.

Section 8.25 Right of Setoff.
Borrower hereby grants to Lender, a continuing lien, security interest and right of setoff as security for all liabilities and obligations to Lender whether now existing or hereafter arising, upon and against all deposits, credits, collateral and property, now or hereafter in the possession, custody, safekeeping or control of Lender or any entity under the control of Bank of America Corporation and its successors and/or assigns or in transit to any of them. At any time, without demand or notice (any such notice being expressly waived by Borrower), Lender may setoff the same or any part thereof and apply the same to any liability or obligation of Borrower even though unmatured and regardless of the adequacy of any other collateral security for the Junior Loan. ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO REQUIRE LENDER TO EXERCISE ITS RIGHTS OR REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO ANY OTHER COLLATERAL WHICH SECURES THE JUNIOR LOAN, PRIOR TO EXERCISING ITS RIGHT OF SETOFF WITH RESPECT TO SUCH DEPOSITS, CREDITS OR OTHER PROPERTY OF THE BORROWER, ARE HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVED.
Section 8.26 Usury.
All agreements between Borrower and Lender are hereby expressly limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever, whether by reason of acceleration of maturity of the indebtedness to be advanced hereby or otherwise, shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use or the forbearance of the indebtedness evidenced hereby exceed the maximum permissible under applicable law and shall be subject to Section 18 of the Junior Note. The provisions of Section 18 of the Junior Note shall control every other provision of all agreements between Borrower and Lender.
Section 8.27 Application of Payments.
All payments received by Lender hereunder shall be applied first to the payment of all fees, expenses and other amounts due to Lender (excluding principal and interest), then to

Section 8.28 Payment Date Adjustment for Non-Business Days.
If any payment under the Junior Note becomes due on a day which is not a Business Day (as defined below), the due date of the Junior Note or payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall be included in computing interest and fees in connection with such payment. As used herein, “Business Day” shall mean any day other than (i) a Saturday or a Sunday, [(ii) a day on which commercial banks in the city in which the Lock Box Account (as such capitalized term is defined in the Lock Box Agreement) are located, are authorized or obligated by law, government decree or executive order to be closed,] (iii) a day observed as a holiday by the federal government, or (iv) a day on which the New York Stock Exchange is closed.

Section 8.30 [Reserved].
Section 8.31 Capital Adequacy.
If at any time Lender is a regulated financial institution such that the applicable regulatory authority may impose capital adequacy requirements, in the event the Lender shall have determined that any requirement of any law of the United States of America, any regulation, order, interpretation, ruling, official directive or guideline (whether or not having the force of law) of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the Comptroller of the Currency, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other board or governmental or administrative agency of the United States of America which shall impose, increase, modify or make applicable to the Junior Note or this Agreement or cause the Junior Note or this Agreement to be included in any reserve, special deposit, calculation used in the computation of regulatory capital standards, assessment or other requirement which imposes on the Lender any cost that is attributable to the maintenance thereof, then, and in each such event, the Borrower shall promptly pay the Lender, upon its demand, such amount as will compensate the Lender for any such cost, which determination may be based upon the Lender’s reasonable allocation of the aggregate of such
49
costs resulting from such events. In the event any such cost is a continuing cost, a fee payable to the Lender may be imposed upon the Borrower periodically for so long as any such cost is deemed applicable by the Lender, in an amount determined by the Lender to be necessary to compensate the Lender for any such cost, which determination may be based upon the Lender’s reasonable allocation of the aggregate of such costs resulting from such events. The determination by the Lender of the existence and amount of any such costs shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive. This section shall be available to Lender regardless of any possible contention of invalidity or inapplicability of the law, regulation or condition which shall have been imposed.
Section 8.32 Right to Sell Junior Loan to Participant.
Lender shall have the unrestricted right at any time and from time to time, and without the consent of or notice to Borrower, to grant to one or more banks or other financial institutions (each, a “Participant”) participating interests in Lender’s obligation to lend hereunder and/or any or all of the Junior Loan, provided that no such participation shall increase the obligations or decrease the rights of Borrower under any of the Junior Loan Documents. In the event of any such grant by Lender of a participating interest to a Participant, whether or not upon notice to Borrower, Lender shall remain responsible for the performance of its obligations hereunder (including, without limitation, the obligation to make future advances) and Borrower shall continue to deal solely and directly with Lender in connection with Lender’s rights and obligations hereunder. Lender may furnish any information concerning Borrower in its possession from time to time to prospective Participants, provided such Participants agree to keep such information confidential.
Section 8.33 Junior Loan Assignment.
Lender shall have the unrestricted right from time to time, and without Borrower’s or anyone else’s consent, to assign all or any portion of its rights and obligations hereunder to one or more banks or other financial institutions (each, an “Assignee”), which is an Eligible Assignee, and Borrower agrees that it shall, at Lender’s sole cost and expense, execute or cause to be executed, such documents, including without limitation, amendments to this Agreement and to any other documents, instruments and agreements executed in connection herewith as Lender shall reasonably deem necessary to effect the foregoing. In addition, at the request of Lender and any such Assignee, Borrower shall, at Lender’s sole cost and expense, issue one or more new promissory notes, as applicable, to any such Assignee, and if Lender has retained any of its rights and obligations hereunder following such assignment, to Lender, which new promissory notes shall be issued in replacement of, but not in discharge of, the liability evidenced by the promissory note held by Lender prior to such assignment and shall reflect the amount of the respective commitments and Loans held by such Assignee and Lender after giving effect to such assignment. Upon the execution and delivery of appropriate assignment documentation, amendments and any other documentation required by Lender in connection with such assignment, and the payment by Assignee of the purchase price agreed to by Lender and such Assignee, such Assignee shall be a party to this Agreement and shall have all of the rights and obligations of Lender hereunder (and under any and all other guaranties, documents, instruments and agreements executed in connection herewith) to the extent that such rights and obligations have been assigned by Lender pursuant to the assignment documentation between
50
Lender and such Assignee, and Lender shall be released from its obligations hereunder and thereunder to a corresponding extent. Borrower may furnish any information concerning Borrower in its possession from time to time to prospective Assignees, provided that Lender shall require any such prospective Assignees to agree in writing to maintain the confidentiality of such information.
Section 8.34 [Reserved].
Section 8.35 Integration.
This Agreement is intended by the parties as the final, complete and exclusive statement of the transactions evidenced by this Agreement.

Section 8.37 [Reserved].
Section 8.38 [Reserved].
Section 8.39 [Reserved].
Section 8.40 Administrative Agent.
(a) In connection with any assignment pursuant to Section 8.33 hereof, the Lender shall have the right to appoint, designate and authorize, or act as, an administrative agent (“Administrative Agent”) to take such action on its behalf and on behalf of any Assignees under the provisions of this Agreement and each other Junior Loan Document and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to it by the terms of this Agreement, any other Junior Loan Document or any agreement with respect to such assignment, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere herein or in any other Junior Loan Document, Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth in writing by the Lender, nor shall Administrative Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with the Lender or any Assignee, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Junior Loan Document or otherwise exist against Administrative Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” herein and in the other Junior Loan Documents with reference to Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency
51
doctrine of any applicable Law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.
(b) Lender shall be the initial Administrative Agent, if an Administrative Agent is deemed necessary or desirable by the Lender hereunder. Lender or any subsequent Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent upon 30 days’ notice to Assignees and Borrower subject to the prior written consent of the Borrower (unless Borrower is in Default, in which case consent of the Borrower is not required), which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed (unless the Lender shall retain 25% or less of the Junior Loan or during the existence and continuation of a Default, in which case Borrower consent shall not be required). If Administrative Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Lender shall appoint from among Lender and Assignees a successor administrative agent, which successor administrative agent shall be consented to by Borrower at all times other than during the existence of a Default (which consent of Borrower shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). If no successor administrative agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of Administrative Agent, subject to Borrower’s prior written consent (such consent not to be required if a Default is in existence and continuing), which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, Administrative Agent may appoint, after consulting with Lender, Assignees and Borrower, a successor administrative agent from among Assignees and the Lender. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor administrative agent hereunder, such successor administrative agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent and the respective term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor administrative agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Agreement shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent Issuer under this Agreement. If no successor administrative agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date which is 30 days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and Lender shall perform all of the duties of Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Lender or the Assignees appoint a successor agent acceptable to Borrower as provided for above.
(c) No Administrative Agent shall (i) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Junior Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct), or (ii) be responsible in any manner to any of Lender, Assignees or Borrower for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by Borrower or any subsidiary or Affiliate of Borrower, or any officer thereof, contained herein or in any other Junior Loan Document, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by Administrative Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Junior Loan Document, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Junior Loan
52
Document, or for any failure of Borrower or any other party to any Junior Loan Document to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. No Administrative Agent shall be under any obligation to the Lender, any Assignee or Borrower to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Junior Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of Borrower or any of its Affiliates.
(d) Without limiting the Junior Loan Documents and to the extent not prohibited by applicable Laws, Borrower shall pay when due, shall reimburse to Administrative Agent for the benefit of itself, the Lender and any Assignee on demand and shall indemnify (i) Administrative Agent, the Lender and any Assignee from, all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, costs, and expenses paid or incurred by Administrative Agent in connection with the negotiation, preparation and execution of this Agreement and the other Junior Loan Documents (and any amendments, approvals, consents, waivers and releases requested, required, proposed or done from time to time), and (ii) Administrative Agent, the Lender and any Assignee in connection with the disbursement, administration or collection of the Junior Loan or the enforcement of the obligations of Borrower or the exercise of any right or remedy of Administrative Agent, including (a) all fees and expenses of Administrative Agent’s legal counsel; (b) fees and charges of each Construction Consultant, inspector and engineer; (c) appraisal, re-appraisal obtained in accordance with Section 8.41 hereof, and survey costs; (d) title insurance charges and premiums; (e) title search or examination costs, including abstracts, abstractors’ certificates and uniform commercial code searches; (f) judgment and tax lien searches for Borrower; (g) escrow fees; (h) fees and costs of environmental investigations, site assessments and remediations; (i) recordation taxes, documentary taxes, transfer taxes and mortgage taxes; (j) filing and recording fees; and (k) loan brokerage fees for which Borrower has specifically agreed to pay. Borrower shall pay all costs and expenses incurred by Administrative Agent, including attorneys’ fees, if the obligations or any part thereof are sought to be collected by or through an attorney at Law, whether or not involving probate, appellate, administrative or bankruptcy proceedings. Borrower shall pay all costs and expenses of complying with the Junior Loan Documents, whether or not such costs and expenses are included in the Component Budget. Borrower’s obligations under this Section shall survive the delivery of the Junior Loan Documents, the making of Advances, the payment in full of the Obligations, the release or reconveyance of any of the Junior Loan Documents, the foreclosure of the Mortgages or conveyance in lieu of foreclosure, any bankruptcy or other debtor relief proceeding, and any other event whatsoever (other than an enforceable waiver of Borrower’s obligations under this Section by Administrative Agent).
Section 8.41 Appraisal.
Lender may obtain from time to time an appraisal of all or any part of the Property prepared in accordance with written instructions from Lender by a third-party appraiser engaged directly by Lender (i) after the occurrence and during the continuation of a Default; (ii) if a Governmental Authority requests, or a governmental regulation requires, an appraisal; (iii) upon any action under the Junior Loan Documents or Project Documents which would affect the Obligations; and (iv) if Lender has received written confirmation from the Construction
53
Consultant confirming that an event has occurred or condition exists at the Property which is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each such appraiser and appraisal shall be satisfactory to Lender (including satisfaction of applicable regulatory requirements). The reasonable cost of any such appraisal shall be borne by Borrower. Such cost is due and payable by the Borrower on demand and shall be secured by the Junior Loan Documents. Lender shall provide a copy of such appraisal to the Borrower upon receipt.
Section 8.42 USA Patriot Act Notice.
Lender hereby notifies Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the Act, Lender is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies Borrower, which information includes the name and address of Borrower and other information that will allow Lender to identify Borrower in accordance with the Act.
Section 8.43 [Reserved]

(a) to Lender, the Cash Management Agent, the Construction Consultant, proposed transferees or assignees of Lender and the respective investors, auditors, agents, attorneys, consultants, legal representatives, successors and assigns of the foregoing to the extent commercially reasonable in connection with Lender providing banking, lending and other financial services for Borrower or with respect to administration, enforcement, management and disposition of the Junior Loan and the rights and interest of Lender in the Collateral;
(b) made with the prior agreement of Borrower;
(c) to the extent such Information is otherwise already available in the public domain other than as a result of a disclosure by others in violation of this Section;
(d) to the extent required to be disclosed by court order in a legal proceeding or by applicable laws; provided, however, that if possible, before such disclosure, the Person so required to disclose the Information shall give Borrower prompt written notice
54

(e) that were known to Lender or any of its affiliates at the time of its initial receipt;

(k) as may be required by Law upon the advice of legal counsel in order to comply with all financial reporting, securities laws and other legal requirements applicable to Lender, including any required disclosures to the Securities and Exchange Commission, any applicable state agency involved in securities regulation and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority.
Section 8.45 Termination.
The terms, provisions and undertakings in this Agreement and all other Junior Loan Documents shall terminate and cease to be effective upon the indefeasible payment in full of the Junior Loan and the full and final discharge of any other Obligations and except for any indemnification provisions that expressly survive the payment in full of the Loan. Lender agrees, at Borrower’s reasonable expense, to take such actions as may be necessary to evidence such termination and the release of any liens created hereunder or under any other Junior Loan Document, including (without limitation) the filing of Uniform Commercial Code termination statements, releases of mortgages/deeds of trust and other lien releases. Borrower may request in writing an extension of the maturity date of the Junior Loan from Lender in accordance with the Junior Note.

55
Lender and its counsel. All persons or entities responsible for the preparation and/or execution of the instruments specifically required hereby and all obligors thereunder shall be reasonably satisfactory to Lender.
Section 8.47 Factual Matters.
Any condition of this Agreement which requires the submission of evidence of the existence or non-existence of a specified fact or facts implies as a condition of the existence or non-existence, as the case may be, of such fact or facts that Lender shall, at all times, be free independently to establish to its satisfaction and in its absolute discretion such existence or non-existence.
Section 8.48 Modification of Junior Loan in Accordance With Lease.
Lender agrees, subject to the satisfaction of the requirements of this Section 8.48 and any other applicable requirements of the Debt Documents, as defined in the Lock Box Agreement, to consent to the amendment of the PAL Lease to reflect the inclusion of Parcel C at Fort Shafter and Parcel B at TAMC (collectively, the “Hawaii Parcels”) in the Site (as defined in the PAL Lease) and the conveyance of the improvements thereon to the Borrower in accordance with Section 1.e. and 1.f. of the PAL Lease. The Lender’s obligation to provide any such consent, however, is conditioned on (i) execution, delivery and/or recordation of such documents as are reasonably required by the Lender to confirm and/or provide a second priority leasehold mortgage lien for the benefit of the Lender on the Hawaii Parcels, including, without limitation, such additional real estate, environmental, title insurance and survey documents, reports and materials as are customarily required by the Lender for real estate transactions of the type contemplated hereby and such consents and estoppels from the Government as are required or authorized under the PAL Lease, (ii) execution and delivery by the Borrower of such other modifications to the Debt Documents as reasonably required by the Lender to reflect the addition of the Hawaii Parcels to the PAL Lease, and (iii) delivery to the Lender of such legal opinions relating to documents executed by the Borrower in connection with the amendment of the PAL Lease and any related amendments to the Debt Documents as the Lender shall reasonably request.
Section 8.49 Not Government Obligations.
The obligations of Borrower under this Agreement are not obligations of the U.S Government.
Section 8.50 Refinancing of Senior Loan.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Borrower agrees that if the Senior Loan is refinanced with a new loan secured by the Collateral or any part thereof (a “Replacement Senior Loan”), it is the intent of such parties that the lender of the Replacement Senior Loan shall not be subrogated to the rights or priority of the Senior Lender and that the Replacement Senior Loan (including, without limitation, all mortgages, liens, assignments, security interests and obligations created by the documents evidencing and securing the Replacement Senior Loan) will in all respects be subordinate and inferior to the Junior Loan (including, without limitation, all mortgages, liens, assignments, security interests and
56
obligations created by the documents evidencing and securing the Junior Loan) and the Junior Loan Documents, unless Junior Lender executes a written instrument to the contrary. Accordingly, in the event a Replacement Senior Loan is obtained, Borrower shall execute, and shall cause the lender of the Replacement Senior Loan to execute, such documents as Junior Lender may reasonably require in order to evidence the subordination of the Replacement Senior Loan to the Junior Loan.
Section 8.51 Guarantor Controlled Person.
Subordinate Lender is executing this Agreement for the sole purpose of acknowledging and agreeing that it is a Guarantor Controlled Person.
Section 8.52 New York Contacts.
As stated in Section 8.13 above, Lender and Borrower have agreed that the laws of the State of New York shall govern this Agreement. This Agreement is being entered into as part of a transaction whereby, among other things, the Army is granting a leasehold estate in the Property to Borrower and concurrently therewith Borrower is obtaining the Junior Loan, the Senior Loan and the Subordinate Loan to perform improvements on the Property. Borrower and Lender acknowledge and agree that their selection of the laws of the State of New York to govern this Agreement is appropriate because, among other things: (a) Senior Lender has multiple offices in New York; (b) the title company that is a party to the transaction of which the Senior Loan, the Junior Loan and the Subordinate Loan are a part has its chief executive office in New York; (d) substantive negotiations regarding the transaction occurred in New York; (e) the Junior Lender, the Senior Lender and the Subordinate Lender will fund the initial advances of their respective loans through the offices of the title insurer and escrow agent in New York; (f) one or more of the agreements relating to the transaction have been signed in New York and (g) all of the Closing documents related to this transaction have been delivered into escrow with the title insurer at its office in New York.

Section 8.54 Payment in Full of Senior Loan/Purchase of Senior Loan.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in the Project Documents or any other document, Borrower agrees that at such time as all obligations owed to Senior Lender under the Senior Loan Documents have been paid in full, Lender shall automatically succeed to all approval, consent, participation, and similar rights of Senior Lender set forth in the Project Documents and all rights of Senior Lender to receive notices, reports and other information pursuant to the Project Documents, as if such rights were validly assigned by Senior Lender to Lender prior to payment of the obligations owed to the Senior Lender under the Senior Loan Documents; provided, however that Lender shall have the right to reject such assignment in whole or in part by sending written notice to Borrower. Borrower agrees to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with Lender in causing any third party to recognize the transfer of rights from
