(a) Borrower has established and will maintain a segregated Eligible Account (the “Borrower Cash Management Account”) to be held by Agent in trust and for the benefit of Lender, which Borrower Cash Management Account shall be under the sole dominion and control of Lender. On or before the Operating Lease Effective Date, Operating Lessee will establish (and will thereafter maintain) a segregated Eligible Account (the “Operating Lessee Cash Management Account”; each of the Borrower Cash Management Account and the Operating Lessee Cash Management Account is sometimes referred to herein as a “Cash
-65-
Management Account” and, collectively, as the “Cash Management Accounts”) to be held by Agent in trust and for the benefit of Lender, which Operating Lessee Cash Management Account shall be under the sole dominion and control of Lender. Each Cash Management Account shall be entitled as set forth in the applicable Cash Management Agreement. Each of Borrower and Operating Lessee hereby grants to Lender a first priority security interest in the applicable Cash Management Account and all deposits at any time contained therein and the proceeds thereof and will take all actions necessary to maintain in favor of Lender a perfected first priority security interest in such Cash Management Account, including, without limitation, filing UCC-1 Financing Statements and continuations thereof. Neither Borrower nor Operating Lessee will in any way alter or modify the applicable Cash Management Account, and Borrower and Operating Lessee (as applicable) will notify Lender of the account number thereof. Lender and Servicer shall have the sole right to make withdrawals from each Cash Management Account and all costs and expenses for establishing and maintaining each such Cash Management Account shall be paid by Borrower.
(b) The insufficiency of funds on deposit in either Cash Management Account shall not relieve Borrower from the obligation to make any payments, as and when due pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and such obligations shall be separate and independent, and not conditioned on any event or circumstance whatsoever.
(c) All funds on deposit in each Cash Management Account following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default may be applied by Lender pursuant to the terms of any Loan Document in such order and priority as Lender shall determine, subject to the terms of Sections 2.6.2(e) and 7.10 of this Agreement and subject to payment of Priority Waterfall Payments.
(d) Borrower hereby agrees that Lender may modify either Cash Management Agreement (or both such Cash Management Agreements) for the purpose of establishing additional sub-accounts in connection with any payments otherwise required under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and Lender shall provide prior written notice thereof to Borrower and Operating Lessee no less than five (5) Business Days prior to such modification.
(e) Notwithstanding anything contained herein or in the other Loan Documents to the contrary, Lender agrees that, notwithstanding the existence of an Event of Default, Lender shall at all times (i) instruct Property Bank to transfer to each Operating Account (other than reasonable fees of the Property Bank as more particularly described in the applicable Property Account Agreement) in immediately available funds by federal wire transfer or ACH transfer all amounts on deposit in such Property Account (except for a reasonable peg balance established under the Property Account Agreement) not less than once every Business Day, (ii) intentionally omitted, (iii) instruct Operating Account Bank to (A) permit Manager, or prior to an R&A Manager Event, R&A Sub-Manager (without further notice or direction required from Lender) to access and draw upon the applicable Operating Account for the payment of Manager Required Payments and to maintain amounts in each such Operating Account equal to the then applicable Working Capital Peg Balance, (B) disburse funds from (1) prior to the consummation of the Restructuring, the Borrower Operating Account, and (2) from and after the consummation of the Restructuring, the Operating Lessee Operating Account to the FF&E Account in the amount of the Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposit, (C) intentionally omitted, and (D) transfer
-66-
to each Cash Management Account, on each Payment Date, all amounts on deposit in either Operating Account that is not otherwise disbursed in accordance with the foregoing clauses (A) through (C) and (iv) during a Cash Trap Period, instruct Agent to apply amounts on deposit in the Cash Management Accounts to payment of the Priority Waterfall Payments (but without duplication of any such payments). During a Cash Trap Period, any amounts remaining in each Cash Management Account after payment of the Priority Waterfall Payments shall be deposited in the corresponding Excess Cash Flow Reserve Account on each Payment Date and applied in accordance with Section 7.5 hereof. Notwithstanding the existence of an Event of Default or any remedies that are undertaken by Lender in connection with an Event of Default (including any foreclosure action), Lender shall not have any right to apply any funds on deposit in either Operating Account to the Debt (or direct the Operating Account Bank to deliver any such funds to Lender, including any transfer of the same to the applicable Cash Management Account, other than as expressly provided in this Agreement), provided that the foregoing shall not otherwise affect Lender’s right to apply funds that are properly transferred to either Cash Management Account to the Debt in accordance with Section 2.6.1(h). If no Debt Yield Trigger Period is then continuing, all amounts on deposit in (A) the Borrower Cash Management Account shall be disbursed to Borrower and (B) the Operating Lessee Cash Management Account shall be disbursed to Operating Lessee, in each case, on the Business Day immediately following the deposit thereof.
2.6.3 Payments Received Under the Cash Management Agreements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, and provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower’s obligations with respect to the payment of the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount and amounts required to be deposited into the Reserve Accounts, if any, shall be deemed satisfied to the extent sufficient amounts are deposited in either Cash Management Account to satisfy such obligations pursuant to this Agreement and such Cash Management Agreement on the dates each such payment is required, regardless of whether any of such amounts are so applied by Lender.
Section 2.7 Withholding Taxes.
(a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of Borrower under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Section 2.7 Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of Borrower) requires the deduction or withholding of any Section 2.7 Tax from any such payment by or on account of any obligation of Borrower, then Borrower shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Section 2.7 Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.7) the Lender or Servicer (as applicable) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made. For the purposes of this Section 2.7, the term “applicable law” shall include FATCA.
-67-
(c) Indemnification by Borrower. Borrower shall indemnify Lender and any Servicer, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Lender or Servicer or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Lender or Servicer and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Borrower by a Lender or the Servicer (either for its own account or for the account of a Lender) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(d) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Section 2.7 Taxes by Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.7, Borrower shall deliver to the Lender or any Servicer the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Lender or any Servicer.
(e) Status of Lenders. (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Section 2.7 Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to Borrower and any Servicer, at the time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or the Servicer (as applicable), such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by Borrower or the Servicer (as applicable) as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by Borrower, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by Borrower or any Servicer as will enable Borrower or the Servicer (as applicable) to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.7(e)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.
(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to Borrower and any Servicer on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower or the Servicer (as applicable)), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;
(B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrower and any Servicer (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower or the Servicer (as applicable)), whichever of the following is applicable:
-68-
(1) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (as applicable) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Section 2.7 Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (as applicable) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Section 2.7 Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;
(2) executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;
(3) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit A-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (as applicable); or
(4) to the extent a Foreign Lender is a partnership or is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (as applicable), a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit A-2 or Exhibit A-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit A 4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;
(C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrower and any Servicer (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower or the Servicer (as applicable)), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Section 2.7 Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit Borrower or the Servicer (as applicable) to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and
-69-
(D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Section 2.7 Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to Borrower and any Servicer at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or the Servicer (as applicable) such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by Borrower or the Servicer (as applicable) as may be necessary for Borrower or the Servicer (as applicable) to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify Borrower in writing of its legal inability to do so. If a Servicer is appointed pursuant to Section 9.5, such Servicer shall be subject to the requirements of this Section 2.7(e) as if it were a Lender.
(f) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Section 2.7 Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.7 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.7), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Section 2.7 Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Section 2.7 Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (f) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (f), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (f) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Section 2.7 Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Section 2.7 Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its Section 2.7 Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.
(g) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.7 shall survive any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender or Servicer and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.
-70-
(h) Lender hereby agrees that, upon the occurrence of any circumstances entitling Lender to additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.7, Lender shall use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate a different applicable lending office for the receipt of payments with respect to, or the funding or booking of, its Loan hereunder, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation (i) would eliminate or reduce such additional amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.7 in the future, and (ii) would not subject such lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with such designation.
Section 2.8 Defeasance.
2.8.1 Voluntary Defeasance.
(a) Provided no Event of Default shall then exist, Borrower shall have the right, on any Payment Date occurring at any time after the Permitted Release Date and prior to the Yield Maintenance End Date, to voluntarily defease all, but not part, of the then remaining principal balance of the Loan by and upon satisfaction of the following conditions (such event being a “Defeasance Event”):
(i) Borrower shall provide not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice to Lender specifying the Payment Date (the “Defeasance Date”) on which the Defeasance Event is to occur;
(ii) Borrower shall pay to Lender all accrued and unpaid interest on the principal balance of the Loan to and including the Defeasance Date. If Lender agrees to accept a Defeasance Date that is not a Payment Date notwithstanding the requirement in this Section 2.8.1(a) that a Defeasance Event occur on a Payment Date, Borrower shall also pay interest that would have accrued on the Note through and including the next Payment Date, provided, however, if the Defeasance Deposit shall include (or if the U.S. Obligations purchased with such Defeasance Deposit shall provide for payment of) all principal and interest computed from the Payment Date prior to the Defeasance Date through the next succeeding Payment Date, Borrower shall not be required to pay such short term interest pursuant to this sentence;
(iii) Borrower shall pay to Lender all other sums, not including scheduled interest or principal payments, then due under the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents;
(iv) Borrower shall pay to Lender the required Defeasance Deposit for the Defeasance Event;
(v) Borrower shall execute and deliver a pledge and security agreement, in form and substance that would be reasonably satisfactory to a prudent lender creating a first priority lien on the Defeasance Deposit and the U.S. Obligations purchased with the Defeasance Deposit in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.8.1 (the “Security Agreement”);
-71-
(vi) Borrower shall deliver an opinion from counsel reasonably satisfactory to Lender that is standard in commercial lending transactions and subject only to customary qualifications, assumptions and exceptions opining, among other things, that Borrower has legally and validly transferred and assigned the U.S. Obligations and all obligations, rights and duties under and to the Note to the Successor Borrower, that Lender has a perfected first priority security interest in the Defeasance Deposit and the U.S. Obligations delivered by Borrower and that any REMIC Trust formed pursuant to a Securitization will not fail to maintain its status as a “real estate mortgage investment conduit” within the meaning of Section 860D of the Code as a result of such Defeasance Event;
(vii) Borrower shall deliver a Rating Agency Confirmation, and, if required by the applicable Approved Rating Agencies, Borrower shall also deliver or cause to be delivered an Additional Insolvency Opinion with respect to the Successor Borrower;
(viii) Borrower shall deliver an Officer’s Certificate certifying that the requirements set forth in this Section 2.8.1(a) have been satisfied;
(ix) Borrower shall deliver a certificate of Borrower’s independent certified public accountant or another national recognized accounting firm acceptable to Lender in its reasonable discretion, certifying that the U.S. Obligations purchased with the Defeasance Deposit generate monthly amounts equal to or greater than the Scheduled Defeasance Payments;
(x) Borrower shall deliver such other certificates, documents or instruments as Lender may reasonably request; and
(xi) Borrower shall pay all reasonable, actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses of Lender incurred in connection with the Defeasance Event, including (A) any costs and expenses associated with a release of the Lien of the Mortgage(s) as provided in Section 2.5.1 hereof, (B) reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Defeasance Event, (C) the costs and expenses of the Approved Rating Agencies, (D) any revenue, documentary stamp or intangible taxes or any other tax or charge due in connection with the transfer of the Note, or otherwise required to accomplish the defeasance and (E) the costs and expenses of Servicer and any trustee, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses.
(b) In connection with the Defeasance Event, Lender shall, at Borrower’s direction use the Defeasance Deposit on behalf of Borrower (and Borrower authorizes Lender to so use the Defeasance Deposit) to purchase U.S. Obligations which provide payments on or prior to, but as close as possible to, all successive scheduled Payment Dates after the Defeasance Date upon which interest and, if applicable, principal payments are required under this Agreement and the Note, and in amounts equal to or more than the scheduled payments due on such Payment Dates under this Agreement and the Note (including, without limitation, scheduled payments of interest, servicing fees (if any), and any other amounts due under the Loan Documents on such Payment Dates) and assuming the outstanding principal balance of the Note is prepaid in full on the Yield Maintenance End Date (the “Scheduled Defeasance Payments”). Borrower, pursuant
-72-
to the Security Agreement or other appropriate document, shall authorize and direct that the payments received from the U.S. Obligations shall be made directly to the Operating Lessee Cash Management Account or, if the Operating Lessee Cash Management Account is not yet opened, the Borrower Cash Management Account (in each case, unless otherwise directed by Lender), and applied to satisfy the Debt Service obligations of Borrower under this Agreement and the Note. Any portion of the Defeasance Deposit in excess of the amount necessary to purchase the U.S. Obligations required by this Section 2.8.1 and satisfy Borrower’s other obligations under this Section 2.8.1 shall be remitted to Borrower.
2.8.2 Collateral. Each of the U.S. Obligations that are part of the defeasance collateral shall be duly endorsed by the holder thereof as directed by Lender or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form and substance that would be satisfactory to a prudent lender (including, without limitation, such instruments as may be required by the depository institution holding such securities or by the issuer thereof, as the case may be, to effectuate book-entry transfers and pledges through the book-entry facilities of such institution) in order to perfect upon the delivery of the defeasance collateral a first priority security interest therein in favor of Lender in conformity with all applicable state and federal laws governing the granting of such security interests.
2.8.3 Successor Borrower. In connection with any Defeasance Event, Borrower shall establish or designate a successor entity (the “Successor Borrower”) acceptable to Lender in its reasonable discretion, which shall be a Special Purpose Entity, which shall not own any other assets or have any other liabilities or operate other property (except in connection with other defeased loans held in the same securitized loan pool with the Loan). Borrower shall transfer and assign all obligations, rights and duties under and to the Note, together with the pledged U.S. Obligations to such Successor Borrower. Such Successor Borrower shall assume the obligations under the Note and the Security Agreement and Borrower shall be relieved of its obligations under such documents. Borrower shall pay $1,000 to any such Successor Borrower as consideration for assuming the obligations under the Note and the Security Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no other assumption fee shall be payable upon a transfer of the Note in accordance with this Section 2.8.3.
Section 2.9 Reconstitution of Legal Description of Property. Upon the written request of Borrower, Lender will reasonably cooperate with Borrower in connection with any reconstitution of the legal description of the Property (including a consolidation and re-subdivision of all or any part of the Property) requested by Borrower, provided that Lender may impose such reasonable conditions with respect thereto as shall be necessary in order to maintain and confirm the first priority Lien of the Mortgage upon the Property, after giving effect to such reconstitution, including, without limitation, (i) the execution and recording or filing (as applicable), at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, of such amendments to the Mortgage and any UCC financing statements with respect to the Property as shall be required in order to so maintain the first priority Lien of the Mortgage upon the Property after giving effect to such reconstitution and (ii) the delivery by Borrower, at its sole cost and expense, of (A) an endorsement to the Title Insurance Policy, insuring that the Mortgage creates a valid first priority lien on the Property (after giving effect to such reconstitution) and that the Property shall not be subject to any additional exceptions or liens other than those contained in the Title Insurance Policy and any other Permitted Encumbrances (B) an update of the Survey of the Property
-73-
reflecting that Property subject to the Lien of the Mortgage, after giving effect to such reconstitution, is identical to the Property subject to the Lien of the Mortgage as of the Closing Date (after taking into account any prior release of the Taran Outparcel or Release Parcels).
ARTICLE III
Section 3.1 Conditions Precedent to Closing. The obligation of Lender to make the Loan hereunder is subject to the fulfillment by Borrower or waiver by Lender of all of the conditions precedent to closing set forth in the application or term sheet for the Loan delivered by Borrower to Lender and the commitment or commitment rider, if any, to the application or term sheet for the Loan issued by Lender, and each such condition precedent shall be deemed to have been so satisfied or waived upon the making of the Loan by Lender to Borrower.
ARTICLE IV
Section 4.1 Borrower Representations. Each of Borrower and Operating Lessee, where applicable, represents and warrants as of the Closing Date that:
4.1.2 Proceedings. Each of Borrower and Operating Lessee has taken all necessary action to authorize its execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party. This Agreement and such other applicable Loan Documents have been duly executed and delivered by or on behalf of Borrower and Operating Lessee and constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of Borrower and Operating Lessee, enforceable against Borrower and Operating Lessee in accordance with their respective terms, subject only to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting rights of creditors generally, and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law).
-74-
4.1.3 No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other applicable Loan Documents by Borrower and Operating Lessee will not conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance (other than pursuant to the Loan Documents) upon any of the property or assets of Borrower or Operating Lessee pursuant to the terms of any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, partnership agreement, management agreement or other agreement or instrument to which Borrower or Operating Lessee is a party or by which any of Borrower’s or Operating Lessee’s property or assets are subject (unless consents from all applicable parties thereto have been obtained), nor will such action, to Borrower’s knowledge, result in any violation of the provisions of any statute or any order, rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over Borrower or Operating Lessee or any of Borrower’s or Operating Lessee’s properties or assets, and any consent, approval, authorization, order, registration or qualification of or with any court or any such Governmental Authority required for the execution, delivery and performance by Borrower or Operating Lessee of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents has been obtained and is in full force and effect.
4.1.4 Litigation. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.1.4 attached hereto, there are no actions, suits or proceedings at law or in equity by or before any Governmental Authority or other agency now pending or to Borrower’s knowledge, threatened against or affecting Borrower, Operating Lessee, any Principal or the Property, which actions, suits or proceedings, if determined against Borrower, Operating Lessee, Principal or the Property, would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
4.1.5 Agreements. Neither Borrower nor Operating Lessee is a party to any agreement or instrument or subject to any restriction which has, or would reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect. Neither Borrower nor Operating Lessee is in default in any material respect in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions contained in any material agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which Borrower, Operating Lessee or the Property is bound. Neither Borrower nor Operating Lessee has any material financial obligation under any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement or other agreement or instrument to which Borrower or Operating Lessee is a party or by which Borrower, Operating Lessee or the Property is otherwise bound, other than (a) obligations incurred in the ordinary course of the operation of the Property as permitted pursuant to clause (xxiii) of the definition of “Special Purpose Entity” set forth in Section 1.1 hereof, (b) obligations under the Loan Documents and (c) Permitted Encumbrances.
4.1.6 Title. Borrower has good, marketable and insurable title to the real property (or a leasehold estate as it relates to the Ground Leased Property) comprising part of the Property and good title to the personal property and Improvements that constitute the balance of the Property, free and clear of all Liens whatsoever except the Permitted Encumbrances, such other Liens as are permitted pursuant to the Loan Documents and the Liens created by the Loan Documents. As of the Operating Lease Effective Date, Operating Lessee will have good and marketable title to the leasehold interest with respect the real property comprising part of the Leased Property and good title to the personal property and Improvements that constitute the balance of the Leased Property and that are not otherwise owned by Borrower. The Permitted Encumbrances in the aggregate do not have a Material Adverse Effect. The Mortgage, when
-75-
properly recorded in the appropriate records, together with any Uniform Commercial Code financing statements required to be filed in connection therewith, will create (a) a valid, perfected first priority lien on Borrower’s and Operating Lessee’s respective interests in the Property, subject only to Permitted Encumbrances and the Liens created by the Loan Documents and (b) perfected security interests in and to, and perfected collateral assignments of, all personalty (including the Leases), to the extent a security interest may be perfected therein by the recording of the Mortgage or the filing of financing statements under the Uniform Commercial Code, all in accordance with the terms thereof, in each case subject only to any applicable Permitted Encumbrances, such other Liens as are permitted pursuant to the Loan Documents and the Liens created by the Loan Documents. To Borrower’s knowledge, there are no claims for payment for work, labor or materials affecting the Property which are a Lien prior to, or of equal priority with, the Liens created by the Loan Documents and as to which Lender has not otherwise received affirmative insurance in the applicable Title Insurance Policy (in form and substance satisfactory to Lender in all respects).
4.1.7 Solvency. Neither Borrower nor Operating Lessee has entered into this transaction or executed this Agreement or any other applicable Loan Document with the actual intent to hinder, delay or defraud any creditor and Borrower and Operating Lessee has received reasonably equivalent value in exchange for its obligations under such Loan Documents. After giving effect to the Loan, the fair saleable value of the assets of Borrower and Operating Lessee, in the aggregate exceed and will, immediately following the making of the Loan, exceed the total liabilities of Borrower and Operating Lessee, in the aggregate, including, without limitation, subordinated, unliquidated, disputed and contingent liabilities. The fair saleable value of the assets of Borrower and Operating Lessee is and will, immediately following the making of the Loan, be greater than the probable liabilities of Borrower and Operating Lessee, in the aggregate, including the maximum amount of its contingent liabilities on its debts as such debts become absolute and matured. The assets of Borrower and Operating Lessee do not and, immediately following the making of the Loan will not, constitute unreasonably small capital to carry out its business as conducted or as proposed to be conducted. Neither Borrower nor Operating Lessee intends to, nor does it believe that it will, incur debt and liabilities (including contingent liabilities and other commitments) beyond its ability to pay such debt and liabilities as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be received by Borrower or Operating Lessee and the amounts to be payable on or in respect of obligations of Borrower or Operating Lessee). No petition in bankruptcy has been filed against Borrower, Operating Lessee or any of their respective constituent Persons in the last seven (7) years, and none of Borrower, Operating Lessee or any constituent Person in the last seven (7) years has ever made an assignment for the benefit of creditors or taken advantage of any insolvency act for the benefit of debtors. None of Borrower, Operating Lessee, or any of their respective constituent Persons are contemplating either the filing of a petition by it under any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency laws or the liquidation of all or a major portion of Borrower’s or Operating Lessee’s assets or property, and Borrower has no knowledge of any Person contemplating the filing of any such petition against it, Operating Lessee or such constituent Persons.
4.1.8 Full and Accurate Disclosure. No statement of fact made by Borrower or Operating Lessee in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make statements contained herein or therein not misleading. There is no material fact presently known to Borrower which has not been disclosed to Lender which has, nor as far as Borrower can reasonably foresee, would be reasonably likely to have, a Material Adverse Effect.
-76-
4.1.9 No Plan Assets.

ARTICLE V
Section 5.1 Affirmative Covenants. From the date hereof and until payment and performance in full of all obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents or the earlier release of the Lien of the Mortgage (and all related obligations) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, each of Borrower and Operating Lessee hereby covenants and agrees with Lender to comply with the following covenants:
5.1.1 Existence; Compliance with Legal Requirements. Each of Borrower and Operating Lessee shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve, renew and keep in full force and effect its existence, rights, licenses, permits and franchises and comply in all material respects with all Legal Requirements applicable to Borrower or Operating Lessee and the Property, including, without limitation, building and zoning codes and certificates of occupancy and the procurement of all necessary and required hospitality, liquor or innkeeper’s licenses, other than to the extent the failure to do so would not result in a Material Adverse Effect. There shall never be committed by Borrower or Operating Lessee, and neither Borrower nor Operating Lessee shall permit any other Person in occupancy of or involved with the
-90-
operation or use of the Property to commit any act or omission affording the federal government or any state or local government the right of forfeiture against the Property or any part thereof or any monies paid in performance of Borrower’s obligations under any of the Loan Documents. Each of Borrower and Operating Lessee hereby covenants and agrees not to commit, permit or suffer to exist any act or omission affording such right of forfeiture. Each of Borrower and Operating Lessee shall at all times maintain, preserve and protect all rights it has in necessary franchises and trade names and preserve all the remainder of its property used or useful in the conduct of its business and shall keep the Property in good working order and repair, and from time to time make, or cause to be made, all reasonably necessary repairs, renewals, replacements, betterments and improvements thereto, all as more fully provided in the Loan Documents. Borrower and/or Operating Lessee shall keep the Property insured at all times by financially sound and reputable insurers, to such extent and against such risks, and maintain liability and such other insurance, as is more fully provided in this Agreement. After prior written notice to Lender, Borrower or Operating Lessee, at its own expense, may contest by appropriate legal proceeding promptly initiated and conducted in good faith and with due diligence, the validity of any Legal Requirement, the applicability of any Legal Requirement to itself or the other such Person (i.e., Borrower may so contest such matter as to Operating Lessee and vice versa), as applicable, or the Property or any alleged violation of any Legal Requirement, provided that (i) no Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured; (ii) such proceeding shall be permitted under and be conducted in accordance with the provisions of any instrument to which Borrower or Operating Lessee is subject and shall not constitute a default thereunder and such proceeding shall be conducted in accordance with all applicable statutes, laws and ordinances; (iii) neither the Property nor any part thereof or interest therein will be in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost during the pendency of such dispute; (iv) Borrower or Operating Lessee shall promptly upon final determination thereof comply with any such Legal Requirement determined to be valid or applicable or cure any violation of any Legal Requirement; (v) such proceeding shall suspend the enforcement of the contested Legal Requirement against it or the other such Person (as applicable) and the Property during the pendency of such dispute; and (vi) Borrower or Operating Lessee shall furnish such security as may be required in the proceeding, or as may be reasonably requested by Lender, to insure compliance with such Legal Requirement, together with all interest and penalties payable in connection therewith. Lender may apply any such security, as necessary to cause compliance with such Legal Requirement at any time when, in the reasonable judgment of Lender, the validity, applicability or violation of such Legal Requirement is finally established or the Property (or any part thereof or interest therein) shall be in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost.
5.1.2 Taxes and Other Charges. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 5.1.2, Borrower and/or Operating Lessee shall pay all Taxes and Other Charges now or hereafter levied or assessed or imposed against the Property or any part thereof prior to delinquency; provided, however, Borrower’s and/or Operating Lessee’s obligation to directly pay Taxes and Other Charges shall be suspended for so long as Borrower complies with the terms and provisions of Section 7.2 hereof. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 5.1.2, Borrower shall, or shall cause Operating Lessee to, not later than five (5) Business Days after receipt of a written request from Lender, deliver to Lender receipts for payment or other evidence satisfactory to Lender that the Taxes and Other Charges with respect to the Property have been so paid or are not then delinquent no later than ten (10) days prior to the date on which the Taxes and/or Other Charges would otherwise be delinquent if not paid (provided, however,
-91-
neither Borrower nor Operating Lessee shall be required to furnish such receipts for payment of such Taxes and Other Charges during any period that Taxes and Other Charges have been paid by Lender pursuant to Section 7.2 hereof or by Manager or, prior to an R&A Manager Event, R&A Sub-Manager pursuant to the Management Agreement or the R&A Management Agreement). Except as otherwise provided in the following sentence, neither Borrower nor Operating Lessee shall suffer, and Borrower and Operating Lessee shall promptly cause to be paid and discharged, any Lien (other than Permitted Encumbrances) or charge whatsoever which may be or become a Lien or charge against the Property (other than Permitted Encumbrances), and shall promptly pay for all utility services provided to the Property. Borrower or Operating Lessee, at its own expense, may contest, by appropriate legal proceeding, promptly initiated and conducted in good faith and with due diligence, the amount or validity or application in whole or in part of any Taxes or Other Charges, provided that (i) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured; (ii) such proceeding shall be permitted under and be conducted in accordance with the provisions of any other instrument to which Borrower or Operating Lessee is subject and shall not constitute a default thereunder and such proceeding shall be conducted in accordance with all applicable statutes, laws and ordinances; (iii) neither the Property nor any part thereof or interest therein will be in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost during the pendency thereof; (iv) Borrower or Operating Lessee shall promptly upon final determination thereof pay the amount of any such Taxes or Other Charges, together with all costs, interest and penalties which may be payable in connection therewith; (v) such proceeding shall suspend the collection of such contested Taxes or Other Charges from the Property during the pendency thereof; (vi) Borrower or Operating Lessee shall furnish such security as may be required in the proceeding, or as may be reasonably requested by Lender, to insure the payment of any such Taxes or Other Charges, together with all interest and penalties thereon; and (vii) Borrower or Operating Lessee shall deliver written notice of such contest to Lender. Lender may pay over any such cash deposit or part thereof held by Lender to the claimant entitled thereto at any time when, in the reasonable judgment of Lender, the entitlement of such claimant is established or the Property (or part thereof or interest therein) shall be in imminent danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost or there shall be any danger of the Lien of the Mortgage being primed by any related Lien.
5.1.4 Access to Property. Subject to the rights of Tenants, guests, patrons and the rights of Ground Lessor under the Ground Lease, Borrower and Operating Lessee shall permit agents, representatives and employees of Lender to inspect the Property or any part thereof at reasonable hours upon reasonable advance notice.
5.1.5 Notice of Default. Borrower and/or Operating Lessee shall promptly advise Lender of any material adverse change in Borrower’s, Operating Lessee’s or Guarantor’s condition, financial or otherwise, or of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default of which Borrower or Operating Lessee has knowledge.
5.1.6 Cooperate in Legal Proceedings. Borrower and Operating Lessee shall cooperate fully with Lender with respect to any proceedings before any court, board or other
-92-
Governmental Authority which may in any way materially and adversely affect the rights of Lender hereunder or any rights obtained by Lender under any of the other Loan Documents and, in connection therewith, permit Lender, at its election, to participate in any such proceedings.
5.1.7 Perform Loan Documents. Borrower and Operating Lessee shall in a timely manner observe, perform and satisfy all the terms, provisions, covenants and conditions of, and shall pay when due all costs, fees and expenses to the extent required under the Loan Documents executed and delivered by, or applicable to, Borrower or Operating Lessee. Neither Borrower nor Operating Lessee shall enter into or otherwise suffer or permit any amendment, waiver, supplement, termination or other modification of any Loan Document executed and delivered by, or applicable to, Borrower or Operating Lessee without the prior written consent of Lender.
5.1.8 Award and Insurance Benefits. Borrower and Operating Lessee shall cooperate with Lender in obtaining for Lender the benefits of any Awards or Insurance Proceeds lawfully or equitably payable in connection with the Property, and Lender shall be reimbursed for any expenses incurred in connection therewith (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, and the payment by Borrower of the expense of an appraisal on behalf of Lender in case of Casualty or Condemnation affecting the Property or any part thereof) out of such Insurance Proceeds.
5.1.9 Further Assurances. Borrower and Operating Lessee shall, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense:
(a) without limiting any other obligation of Borrower or Operating Lessee hereunder, upon the written request of Lender, furnish to Lender all instruments, documents, boundary surveys, footing or foundation surveys, certificates, plans and specifications, appraisals, title and other insurance reports and agreements, and each and every other document, certificate, agreement and instrument required to be furnished by Borrower or Operating Lessee pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents or which are reasonably requested by Lender in connection therewith, provided, that, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the foregoing shall not require Borrower or Operating Lessee to obtain updated appraisals after the Closing Date, unless specifically required by the terms of this Agreement;
(b) execute and deliver to Lender such documents, instruments, certificates, assignments and other writings, and do such other acts reasonably necessary, to evidence, preserve and/or protect the collateral at any time securing or intended to secure the obligations of Borrower and Operating Lessee under the Loan Documents, as Lender may reasonably require including, without limitation, the execution and delivery of all writings necessary to transfer any hospitality, liquor and other licenses required for the continued operation of the Property into the name of Lender or its designee after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default to the extent such transfer is permitted by applicable law or, to the extent such transfer is not permitted by applicable law, reasonably cooperate with Lender in obtaining new hospitality, liquor or other licenses required for the continued operation of the Property and terminating existing licenses, in each case solely at the direction of Lender; and
-93-
(c) do and execute all and such further lawful and reasonable acts, conveyances and assurances for the better and more effective carrying out of the intents and purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, as Lender shall reasonably require from time to time.
5.1.10 Principal Place of Business, State of Organization. Neither Borrower nor Operating Lessee shall cause or permit any change to be made in its name or identity (including its trade name or names) unless Borrower or Operating Lessee shall have first notified Lender in writing of such change at least thirty (30) days prior to the effective date of such change, and shall have first taken all action required by Lender for the purpose of perfecting or protecting the lien and security interests of Lender pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Neither Borrower nor Operating Lessee shall change its organizational structure or place of organization or formation (as set forth in Section 4.1.36 hereof) except as permitted pursuant to Section 5.2 hereof, without first obtaining the prior written consent of Lender and delivery of a Rating Agency Confirmation. Upon Lender’s request, Borrower or Operating Lessee shall, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, execute and deliver additional financing statements, security agreements and other instruments which may be necessary to effectively evidence or perfect Lender’s security interest in the Property as a result of such change of principal place of business or place of organization (in the case of a change of place of organization, if approved in accordance with the foregoing sentence). Borrower’s and Operating Lessee’s principal place of business and chief executive office has been for the preceding four months (or, if less, the entire period of the existence of Borrower or Operating Lessee) and will continue to be the address of Borrower and Operating Lessee set forth at the introductory paragraph of this Agreement unless Borrower notifies Lender in writing at least thirty (30) days prior to the date of the change and Borrower authorizes Lender to file UCC-3 financing statements as necessary or desirable to maintain the priority of liens granted hereunder (provided that Lender acknowledges that, in connection with the Restructuring, the principal place of business of Borrower and Operating Lessee will be changed to 0000 Xxxxxx Xxxx., Xxxxx 0000, XxXxxx, Xxxxxxxx, and within a reasonable time thereafter, again to 0000 Xxxxxx Xxxx., Xxxxx 0000, XxXxxx, Xxxxxxxx, and notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall only be required to provide written notice thereof promptly upon each such change, provided that, in connection therewith, Borrower and Operating Lessee shall, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, execute and deliver additional financing statements, security agreements and other instruments which may be necessary to effectively evidence or perfect Lender’s security interest in the Property as a result of such change of principal place of business or place of organization). Neither Borrower nor Operating Lessee shall change its organizational identification number without the prior written consent of Lender. Upon receipt of a written request from Lender, Borrower shall execute a certificate in form satisfactory to Lender listing the trade names under which either Borrower or Operating Lessee intends to operate the Property, and representing and warranting that each of Borrower and Operating Lessee does business under no other trade name with respect to the Property.
5.1.11 Financial Reporting. (a) Each of Borrower and Operating Lessee will keep and maintain or will cause to be kept and maintained on a Fiscal Year basis in accordance with GAAP (or such other accounting basis acceptable to Lender) as interpreted by the Uniform System of Accounts, proper and accurate books, records and accounts reflecting all of its financial affairs and all items of income and expense in connection with the operation on an individual basis of the Property. Lender shall have the right from time to time at all times during
-94-
normal business hours upon reasonable notice (and, in any event, not more than two (2) times in any calendar year unless an Event of Default is continuing, in which case no such restriction shall apply) to examine such books, records and accounts at the office of Borrower, Operating Lessee or any other Person maintaining such books, records and accounts and to make such copies or extracts thereof as Lender shall desire. After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower shall pay any reasonable and actual costs and expenses incurred by Lender to examine Borrower’s or Operating Lessee’s accounting records with respect to the Property, as Lender shall reasonably determine to be necessary or appropriate in the protection of Lender’s interest.
(b) Borrower will furnish to Lender annually, within seventy-five (75) days following the end of each Fiscal Year, a copy of Borrower’s and Operating Lessee’s unaudited financial statements covering the Property for such Fiscal Year and containing statements of profit and loss for Borrower, Operating Lessee and the Property and a balance sheet for Borrower and Operating Lessee. Such statements shall set forth the financial condition and the results of operations for the Property for such Fiscal Year, and shall include, but not be limited to, amounts representing annual Net Operating Income, Gross Income from Operations and Operating Expenses (not including any contributions to the Replacement Reserve Account). Borrower’s and Operating Lessee’s annual financial statements shall be accompanied by (i) an Officer’s Certificate stating that each such annual financial statement presents fairly the financial condition and the results of operations of Borrower, Operating Lessee and the Property being reported upon as of such date and has been prepared in accordance with GAAP (or such other accounting basis acceptable to Lender), as interpreted by the Uniform System of Accounts and (ii) occupancy statistics including revenue per available room and average daily rates for the Property. Together with Borrower’s and Operating Lessee’s annual financial statements, Borrower shall furnish to Lender an Officer’s Certificate certifying as of the date thereof whether there exists, to Borrower’s knowledge, an event or circumstance which constitutes a Default or Event of Default under the Loan Documents executed and delivered by, or applicable to, Borrower or Operating Lessee, and if such Default or Event of Default exists, the nature thereof, the period of time it has existed and the action then being taken to remedy the same.
(c) Within one hundred twenty (120) days following the end of each Fiscal Year, Borrower shall provide a complete copy of Guarantor’s (or its publicly traded parent) annual financial statements audited by a “Big Four” accounting firm or other independent certified public accountant acceptable to Lender in accordance with GAAP as interpreted by the Uniform System of Accounts (or such other accounting basis acceptable to Lender). The financial information for the Property, Borrower and Operating Lessee shall be included as part of Guarantor’s (or its publicly traded parent’s) annual audited financial statements.
(d) Borrower will furnish, or cause to be furnished, to Lender on or before forty (40) days after the end of (i) prior to a Securitization, each calendar month and (ii) after a Securitization, each calendar quarter, each the following items, accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate stating that (A) such items are true, correct, accurate, and complete and fairly present the financial condition and results of the operations of Borrower, Operating Lessee and the Property (subject to normal year-end adjustments) as of the relevant date, as applicable, and (B) the representations and warranties of Borrower and Operating Lessee set forth in subsection (xxiii) of the definition of “Special Purpose Entity” are true and correct as of the date
-95-
of such certificate: (i) an occupancy report for the subject month, including an average daily rate and revenue per available room; (ii) monthly or quarterly (as applicable) and year to date operating statements prepared for each calendar month or quarter (as applicable), noting EBITDA, Gross Income from Operations, and Operating Expenses (not including any contributions to the Replacement Reserve Account), and other information necessary and sufficient to fairly represent the financial position and results of operation of the Property during such calendar month or quarter (as applicable), and containing a comparison of budgeted income and expenses and the actual income and expenses, all in form satisfactory to Lender, (iii) during a Cash Trap Period, upon the written request of Lender, a detailed explanation of any variances of ten percent (10%) or more between budgeted and actual amounts for such periods, (iv) the most current Xxxxx Travel Research Reports then available to Borrower or Operating Lessee reflecting market penetration and relevant hotel properties competing with the Property and (v) a certified rent roll for the Retail Component in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B.
(e) Lender hereby acknowledges receipt of the forecasted Annual Budget for the remainder of the Fiscal Year-ending on December 31, 2016. Borrower or Operating Lessee shall submit to Lender an Annual Budget upon the earlier to occur of (i) the date which is five (5) Business Days after receipt by Borrower or Operating Lessee, as applicable, of such Annual Budget from Manager and (ii) December 31 of then-current calendar year (which, subject to the immediately succeeding sentence shall be for informational purposes only). If a Cash Trap Period is continuing, the Annual Budget shall be subject to Lender’s reasonable written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed (each such Annual Budget, an “Approved Annual Budget”); provided, however, that Lender shall not withhold its consent with respect to (i) expenditures necessary to comply with life, health or safety matters and (ii) Employment Costs (as such term is defined in the Management Agreement). So long as no Cash Trap Period is continuing, any Annual Budget and any amendments or modifications thereto shall be deemed an Approved Annual Budget and Lender shall have no approval right with respect thereto. In the event that Borrower is required to submit an Annual Budget for approval pursuant to this Section 5.1.11(e), each such request for approval of an Annual Budget shall contain the following legend in prominently displayed in bold, all caps and fourteen (14) point or larger font in the transmittal letter requesting approval: “THIS IS A REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF AN ANNUAL BUDGET. LENDER’S RESPONSE IS REQUESTED WITHIN TEN (10) DAYS.” In the event that Lender fails to grant or withhold its approval to such Annual Budget within such ten (10) day period, Borrower shall deliver to Lender a second request for approval containing the following legend in prominently displayed in bold, all caps and fourteen (14) point or larger font in the transmittal letter requesting approval: “THIS IS A SECOND REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF AN ANNUAL BUDGET. LENDER’S RESPONSE IS REQUESTED WITHIN TEN (10) DAYS. LENDER’S FAILURE TO RESPOND WITHIN SUCH TIME PERIOD SHALL RESULT IN LENDER’S APPROVAL BEING DEEMED TO HAVE BEEN GRANTED.” In the event that Lender fails to grant or withhold its approval to such Annual Budget within such ten (10) day period, then Lender’s approval shall be deemed to have been granted. In the event that Lender timely disapproves a proposed Annual Budget in accordance with the foregoing, Borrower or Operating Lessee shall promptly revise such Annual Budget and resubmit the same to Lender (and each such resubmittal shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 5.1.11(e) as if the applicable proposed Annual Budget were being submitted to Lender for its initial review of the same, provided that the aforesaid ten (10) day periods shall each be five (5) days in connection with
-96-
any such resubmittal). Borrower or Operating Lessee shall promptly revise each proposed Annual Budget and resubmit the same to Lender in accordance with the foregoing until Lender approves the proposed Annual Budget. Until such time that Lender approves a proposed Annual Budget, the most recently Approved Annual Budget shall apply; provided that, each line item of such Approved Annual Budget shall be increased by the amount of the increase, if any, in the Consumer Price Index for the immediately preceding calendar year (other than the line items in respect of Taxes, Insurance Premiums, union wages, utilities expenses and Other Charges, which line items shall be adjusted to reflect actual increases in such expenses).
(f) In the event that, during any Cash Trap Period, Borrower or Operating Lessee must incur a capital expense not set forth in the Approved Annual Budget (each an “Extraordinary Expense”), then Borrower shall promptly deliver to Lender a reasonably detailed explanation of such proposed Extraordinary Expense for Lender’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed; provided, that Lender’s consent shall not be required in connection with: capital expenditures (i) necessary to comply with life, health or safety matters and Legal Requirements and (ii) for which Borrower and/or Operating Lessee is permitted to use Excess Cash Flow Reserve Funds, to the extent that there are sufficient funds available. For the avoidance of doubt, from and after the date of the Restructuring, nothing in this clause (f) shall be deemed to limit Manager’s, or prior to any R&A Manager Event, R&A Sub-Manager’s rights set forth elsewhere with respect to the Operating Accounts and the FF&E Account.
(g) During the continuance of a Cash Trap Period, neither Borrower nor Operating Lessee (as applicable) shall approve (to the extent either Borrower or Operating Lessee is permitted to approve or reject such operating budget pursuant to the terms of the Management Agreement or any Replacement R&A Management Agreement affecting any portion of the Property from time to time subject to the Mortgage) any operating budget pursuant to the Management Agreement or any Replacement R&A Management Agreement affecting any portion of the Property from time to time subject to the Mortgage without the prior written consent of Lender (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Lender shall cooperate with Borrower and/or Operating Lessee (as applicable) to follow the procedures for budget approval set forth in the Management Agreement or any such Replacement R&A Management Agreement to the extent Borrower or Operating Lessee notifies Lender thereof.
(h) Any reports, statements or other information required to be delivered under this Agreement may be delivered via email or on a diskette and/or, if requested by Lender and within the capabilities of Borrower’s data systems without change or modification thereto, with report files in electronic form of Microsoft Word or Microsoft Excel (which files may be prepared using a spreadsheet program and saved as word processing files). Borrower agrees that Lender may disclose information regarding the Property and Borrower that is provided to Lender pursuant to this Section 5.1.11(h) in connection with the Securitization to such parties requesting such information in connection with such Securitization.
5.1.12 Business and Operations. Each of Borrower and Operating Lessee shall continue to engage in the businesses presently conducted by it (or, with respect to Operating Lessee, contemplated to be conducted by it pursuant to the Operating Lease) as and to the extent
-97-
the same are necessary for the ownership or leasing (as applicable), maintenance, management, leasing and operation of the Property. Each of Borrower and Operating Lessee shall qualify to do business and will remain in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its formation as and to the extent the same are required for the ownership, maintenance, management and operation of the Property. Each of Borrower and Operating Lessee shall at all times during the term of the Loan, continue to own or lease all of Equipment, Fixtures and Personal Property which are necessary to operate the Property in the manner required hereunder and in the manner in which it is currently operated.
5.1.13 Title to the Property. Each of Borrower and Operating Lessee shall warrant and defend (a) the title to the Property and every part thereof, subject only to Liens permitted hereunder (including Permitted Encumbrances) and (b) the validity and priority of the Lien of the Mortgage on the Property, subject only to Liens permitted hereunder (including Permitted Encumbrances), in each case against the claims of all Persons whomsoever. Borrower shall reimburse Lender for any losses, costs, damages or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs) incurred by Lender if an interest in the Property, other than as permitted hereunder, is claimed by another Person.
5.1.14 Costs of Enforcement. In the event (a) that the Mortgage is foreclosed in whole or in part or that the Mortgage is put into the hands of an attorney for collection, suit, action or foreclosure, (b) of the foreclosure of any mortgage encumbering the Property prior to or subsequent to the Mortgage in which proceeding Lender is made a party, or (c) of the bankruptcy, insolvency, rehabilitation or other similar proceeding in respect of Borrower or any of its constituent Persons or an assignment by Borrower or any of its constituent Persons for the benefit of its creditors, Borrower and its successors or assigns, shall be chargeable with and agrees to pay all out-of-pocket costs of collection and defense, including reasonable third party attorneys’ fees and expenses, incurred by Lender or Borrower in connection therewith, but excluding regular servicing fees and in connection with any appellate proceeding or post judgment action involved therein, together with all required service or use taxes.
5.1.15 Estoppel Statement. (a) After request by Lender, Borrower shall within ten (10) Business Days furnish Lender with a statement, duly acknowledged and certified, setting forth (i) the original principal amount of each Note, (ii) the unpaid principal amount of each Note, (iii) the Interest Rate of each Note, (iv) the date installments of interest and/or principal were last paid, (v) any offsets or defenses to the payment of the Debt, if any, claimed by Borrower, and (vi) that the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents are valid, legal and binding obligations of Borrower, Operating Lessee and/or Guarantor (as applicable), subject to bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar laws and general principles of equity and have not been modified or if modified, giving particulars of such modification; provided, however, that so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower shall not be required to provide such statement more than one (1) time in any calendar year.
(b) Borrower and Operating Lessee shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver to Lender upon request, (i) a tenant estoppel certificate from each commercial Tenant party to a Material Lease at the Property, (ii) an estoppel certificate from any board with respect to the Condominium and (iii) an estoppel certificate from each counterparty under any Material Property Agreement, in each case, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender;
-98-
provided, however, that so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower shall not be required to seek such statement more than one (1) time in any calendar year.
5.1.16 Loan Proceeds. Borrower shall use the proceeds of the Loan received by it on the Closing Date only for the purposes set forth in Section 2.1.4 hereof.
5.1.17 Intentionally Omitted.
5.1.18 Confirmation of Representations.

Upon written request of Lender, Borrower or Operating Lessee shall furnish Lender with executed copies of all Leases; provided that so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, neither Borrower nor Operating Lessee shall be required to deliver copies of all Leases more frequently than two (2) times per calendar year and, where Leases have been previously delivered to Lender, Borrower or Operating Lessee may, in lieu of delivering new copies thereof to Lender, deliver an Officer’s Certificate stating that such Leases remain unchanged (or, if terminated or expired, that such Leases have been terminated or expired, or, where Leases have been modified, supplemented or extended, deliver copies of the documents modifying, supplementing or extending the Leases without delivering copies of the documents previously provided). All renewals of Leases (other than with respect to renewal or extension rights set forth in the Lease in effect as of the Closing Date) and all proposed Leases shall provide for rental rates comparable to existing local market rates in all material respects, provided, however, so long as no Cash Trap Period is in effect, a Lease of commercial space demising less than 5,000 square feet, with a term of less than five (5) years may be made on materially lower than local market rate terms with a tenant who is not an Affiliate of Borrower or Operating Lessee if Borrower or Operating Lessee reasonably determines in its prudent business judgment that such Lease will provide additional incremental revenue to the applicable Property in excess of its stated rent. Borrower or Operating Lessee, as applicable, (i) shall observe and perform the obligations imposed upon the lessor under each Lease to which it is a party in a commercially reasonable manner; (ii) shall enforce the terms, covenants and conditions contained in the Leases upon the part of the lessee under each such Lease to be observed or performed in a commercially reasonable manner and in a manner not to impair the value of the Property involved except that no termination by Borrower or Operating Lessee or acceptance of surrender by a Tenant of any Material Lease (regardless of when any such Material Lease was entered into) shall be permitted unless by reason of (A) a Tenant default and then only in a commercially reasonable manner to preserve and protect the Property; or (B) the exercise by a Tenant of any termination right expressly provided in any existing Material Lease or any Material Lease hereafter entered into in compliance with the conditions set forth in this Section 5.1.21; (iii) shall not collect any of the rents more than one (1) month in advance (other than security deposits, payments of the first month’s rent upon signing of the Lease, and rent for providing rooms and banquet and meeting space and services in the ordinary course of business); (iv) shall not execute any other assignment of lessor’s interest in the Leases or the Rents (except as contemplated by the Loan Documents); (v) shall not alter, modify or change the terms of the Leases in a manner inconsistent with the provisions of the Loan Documents; (vi) shall not alter, modify or change the terms of any Material Lease (regardless of when any such Material Lease was entered into) without the prior written consent of Lender, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, which consent shall be subject to the deemed approval provisions set forth in this Section; and (vii) shall execute and deliver at the request of Lender all such further assurances, confirmations and assignments in connection with the Leases
-100-
as Lender shall from time to time reasonably require. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, neither Borrower nor Operating Lessee shall enter into a lease of all or substantially all of the Property (except for the execution of the Operating Lease in accordance with the terms of this Agreement) without Lender’s prior written consent. Each such request for approval of a Lease shall contain the following legend in prominently displayed in bold, all caps and fourteen (14) point or larger font in the transmittal letter requesting approval: “THIS IS A REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF A LEASE. LENDER’S RESPONSE IS REQUESTED WITHIN TEN (10) DAYS.” In the event that Lender fails to grant or withhold its approval to such Lease within such ten (10) day period, Borrower shall deliver to Lender a second request for approval containing the following legend in prominently displayed in bold, all caps and fourteen (14) point or larger font in the transmittal letter requesting approval: “THIS IS A SECOND REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF A LEASE. LENDER’S RESPONSE IS REQUESTED WITHIN FIVE (5) DAYS. LENDER’S FAILURE TO RESPOND WITHIN SUCH TIME PERIOD SHALL RESULT IN LENDER’S APPROVAL BEING DEEMED TO HAVE BEEN GRANTED.” In the event that Lender fails to grant or withhold its approval to such Lease within such five (5) day period, then Lender’s approval shall be deemed to have been granted. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender consent shall not be required in connection with (i) any Lease (or amendment, modification or termination thereof) that is not a Material Lease, (ii) renewals, expansions or extensions of any Lease (including a Material Lease) by a tenant that is a party to such lease as of the Closing Date so long as the rental terms are on market terms (or on terms contemplated in the Lease in place on the Closing Date or any new Lease entered into in accordance with this Agreement), (iii) any de minimis modifications of any Material Lease, (iv) a commercially reasonable termination of any Material Lease arising from a default by the tenant thereunder or (v) an assignment of any Lease by the tenant thereunder for which Borrower has a consent right which is not to be unreasonably withheld, pursuant to the terms of such Lease.
5.1.22 Alterations. Borrower or Operating Lessee, as applicable, shall obtain Lender’s prior written consent to any alterations to any Improvements, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed except with respect to alterations that would be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender’s consent shall not be required in connection with any alterations to the Property that (a) intentionally omitted, (b) upon completion of same, will not have a Material Adverse Effect and provided that the cost thereof, when aggregated with the cost of all other alterations undertaken at the Property in the applicable calendar year is less than $35,000,000 (the “Threshold Consent Amount”), provided, that any amounts expended for alterations pursuant to clauses (a), (c)(ii), (c)(iii), and (d) through (g) of this Section 5.1.22 shall not be included toward the calculation of the aggregate annual costs of such alterations for purposes of the Threshold Consent Amount, (c) are (i) specifically provided for in the Approved Annual Budget, (ii) a permitted variance for health, life and safety items under the Management Agreement or (iii) otherwise consented to by Lender and to be funded from the Reserve Funds or either the Borrower Remainder Account or the Operating Lessee Remainder Account (as each are defined in the applicable Cash Management Agreement) in accordance with this Agreement, (d) constitute a tenant improvement required to be made under a Lease existing on the Closing Date or a Lease entered into after the Closing

The Alterations Deposit shall be disbursed from time to time by Lender to Borrower or Operating Lessee for completion of the alterations at the Property upon the satisfaction of the following conditions: (1) Borrower shall submit a request for payment to Lender at least five (5) Business Days prior to the date on which Borrower requests that such payment be made, which request for payment shall specify the alterations for which payment is requested, (2) on the date such request is received by Lender and on the date such payment is to be made, no Event of Default shall be continuing, and (3) such request shall be accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate (x) stating that the applicable portion of the alterations at the Property to be funded by the requested disbursement have been completed in good and workmanlike manner and in accordance with all applicable Legal Requirements, such Officer’s Certificate to be accompanied by copies of paid invoices or copies of invoices to be paid, and with respect to any invoices in excess of $25,000, copies of any licenses, permits or other approvals by any Governmental Authority required in connection with the applicable portion of the alterations, (y) identifying each contractor that supplied materials or labor in connection with the applicable portion of the alterations to be funded by the requested disbursement and (z) stating that, upon such disbursement, each such contractor has been paid or will have been paid in full for all amounts then due and owing to such contractor. Each Alterations Deposit shall be held by Lender in an interest-bearing account and, until disbursed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.1.22, shall constitute additional security for the Debt and other obligations under the Loan Documents. Upon the completion of the alterations in respect of which any Alteration Deposit is being held, Lender shall promptly return to Borrower any remaining portion of the Alterations Deposit upon the request of Borrower, provided that (1) on the date such request is received by Lender and on the date such disbursement is to be made, no Event of Default shall be continuing, and (2) such request shall be accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate stating that the alterations have been fully completed in good and workmanlike manner and in accordance with all applicable Legal Requirements, such Officer’s Certificate to be accompanied by copies of paid invoices or copies of invoices to be paid, as applicable, and, with respect to any invoices in excess of $25,000, copies of any licenses, permits

5.1.23 Operation of Property. (a) Each of Borrower and Operating Lessee shall (and shall, if necessary, exercise its rights under the Management Agreement or under the R&A Management Agreement or any Replacement R&A Management Agreement to cause the Manager and any R&A Manager to) cause the Property to be operated, in all material respects, in accordance with the Management Agreement or applicable Replacement Management Agreement and in accordance with all applicable Legal Requirements. In the event that the Management Agreement, the R&A Management Agreement or any Replacement R&A Management Agreement expires or is terminated (without limiting any obligation of Borrower or Operating Lessee to obtain Lender’s consent to any termination or modification thereof in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement), Borrower or Operating Lessee shall promptly enter into a Replacement Management Agreement with Manager or another Qualified Manager or a Replacement R&A Management Agreement with R&A Manager or another Qualified Manager, as applicable.
(b) Each of Borrower and Operating Lessee, as applicable, shall: (i) promptly perform and/or observe, in all material respects, all of the covenants and agreements required to be performed and observed by it under the Management Agreement, the R&A Management Agreement and any Replacement R&A Management Agreement and do all things necessary to preserve and to keep unimpaired its material rights thereunder; (ii) promptly after they become aware, notify Lender of any material default under the Management Agreement, R&A Management Agreement or any Replacement R&A Management Agreement; (iii) promptly deliver to Lender a copy of each financial statement, business plan, capital expenditures plan, any material written notice, material written report and material written estimate received by it under any such Management Agreement; and (iv) enforce the performance and observance of all of the covenants and agreements required to be performed and/or observed by Manager or R&A Manager under any such Management Agreement in a commercially reasonable manner.

Neither Borrower nor Operating Lessee shall permit Manager or any Affiliate of HWHI to rebrand the Property (other than any portion of the Borrower Retained Property that is not managed pursuant to the Management Agreement, as to which the concept of branding is inapplicable) to a lower category based on the annual chain scale published by Xxxxx Travel Reports without the consent of Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. At no time shall the Property (other than the Borrower Retained Property, as to which the concept of branding is inapplicable) be operated as an unbranded hotel.
-103-
(d) Borrower shall have the right, at any time and without the consent of Lender, to sever the management of all or any portion of the Borrower Retained Property from the Management Agreement (an “R&A Management Severance”), provided that (i) in connection therewith, the Management Agreement shall be amended as necessary to reflect the R&A Management Severance (unless no such amendment is required to effect such R&A Management Severance), (ii) the R&A Management Agreement shall be amended or terminated as necessary to reflect the R&A Management Severance (unless no such amendment or termination is required to effect such R&A Management Severance), and (iii) Borrower shall enter into Replacement R&A Management Agreement with a Qualified R&A Manager and such Replacement R&A Management Agreement shall be subject to the review and approval of the Lender (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), provided that the management fees under such Replacement R&A Management Agreement shall not exceed the then prevailing market rates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower agrees that it shall not be unreasonable for Lender to condition its consent to a Replacement R&A Management Agreement on the Qualified R&A Manager that is party thereto and Borrower executing and delivering to Lender a collateral assignment of the Replacement R&A Management Agreement and subordination of management fees payable thereunder, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender.
(e) R&A Manager shall, as long as the Loan is outstanding and it is the manager under the R&A Management Agreement, irrevocably delegate all rights and obligations under the R&A Management Agreement to the R&A Sub Manager pursuant to the Management Agreement.

-104-
5.1.26 Ground Lease.

(b) If Borrower shall be in default under the Ground Lease, then, subject to the terms of the Ground Lease, Borrower shall grant Lender the right (but not the obligation), subject to the terms of the Ground Lease, to cause the default or defaults under the Ground Lease to be remedied and otherwise exercise any and all rights of Borrower under the Ground Lease, as may be necessary to prevent or cure any default, provided such actions are necessary to protect Lender’s interest in the Property under the Loan Documents and Lender shall, subject to the rights of Tenants, Permitted Encumbrances and hotel guests and patrons, have the right to enter all or any portion of the Ground Lease Property at such times and in such manner as Lender deems necessary, to prevent or to cure any such default, provided that in each case, such actions are necessary to protect Lender’s interest in the Property under the Loan Documents.

All sums expended by Lender to cure any such default shall be paid by Borrower to Lender, upon demand, with interest on such sum at the rate set forth in this Agreement from the date such sum is expended to and including the date the reimbursement payment is made to Lender. All such indebtedness shall be deemed to be secured by the Mortgage.
(d) Borrower shall notify Lender promptly in writing of the occurrence of any material default by Ground Lessor under the Ground Lease or following the receipt by Borrower of any written notice from Ground Lessor under the Ground Lease noting or claiming the occurrence of any default by Borrower under the Ground Lease or the occurrence of any event that, with the passage of time or service of notice, or both, would constitute a default by Borrower under the Ground Lease. Borrower shall promptly deliver to Lender a copy of any such written notice of default.
(e) Upon the written request of Lender, Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain from Ground Lessor under the Ground Lease and furnish to Lender the estoppel certificate of Ground Lessor stating the date through which rent has been paid and whether or not there are any defaults thereunder and specifying the nature of such claimed defaults, if any, but in no event (so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) more than one (1) time in any Fiscal Year.
(f) Borrower shall promptly execute, acknowledge and deliver to Lender such instruments as may reasonably be required to permit Lender to cure any default under the Ground Lease or permit Lender to take such other action required to enable Lender to cure or remedy the matter in default and preserve the security interest of Lender under the Loan Documents with respect to the Ground Lease Property. Borrower irrevocably appoints Lender as
-105-
its true and lawful attorney-in-fact to do, in its name or otherwise, after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, any and all acts and to execute any and all documents that are necessary to preserve any rights of Borrower under or with respect to the Ground Lease, including, without limitation, the right to effectuate any extension or renewal of the Ground Lease, or to preserve any rights of Borrower whatsoever in respect of any part of the Ground Lease (and the above powers granted to Lender are coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable).

This assignment constitutes a present, irrevocable and unconditional assignment of the foregoing claims, rights and remedies, and shall continue in effect until all of the Debt shall have been satisfied and discharged in full. Any amounts received by Lender or Borrower as damages arising out of the rejection of the Ground Lease as aforesaid shall be applied to all costs and expenses of Lender (including, without limitation, attorney’s fees and costs) incurred in connection with the exercise of any of its rights or remedies in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement.
(iv) If, pursuant to Subsection 365(h) of the Bankruptcy Code, Borrower seeks to offset, against the rent reserved in the Ground Lease, the amount of any damages caused by the nonperformance by the lessor of any of its obligations thereunder after the rejection by lessor of the Ground Lease under the Bankruptcy Code, then Borrower shall not effect any offset of such amounts unless it shall have provided written notice to Lender of its intent to do so and Lender shall have consented thereto (provided Lender shall be deemed to have consented thereto if it shall fail to object to the same in written notice to Borrower within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the aforementioned notice, in which case Borrower may proceed to offset the amounts set forth in Borrower’s notice.

Borrower shall, upon demand, pay to Lender all reasonable actual out of pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs) actually paid or actually incurred by Lender in connection with the cooperative prosecution or conduct of any such proceedings. All such costs and expenses shall be secured by the lien of the Mortgage.

Borrower shall deliver to Lender any and all notices, summonses, pleadings, applications and other documents received by Borrower in connection with any such petition and any proceedings relating to such petition.
(h) if Lender, its nominee, designee, successor, or assignee acquires title and/or rights of Borrower under the Ground Lease by reason of foreclosure of the Mortgage, deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, such party shall (x) succeed to all of the rights of and benefits accruing to Borrower under the Ground Lease, and (y) be entitled to exercise all of the rights and benefits accruing to Borrower under the Ground Lease. At such time as Lender shall request, Borrower agrees to execute and deliver and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any third party to execute and deliver to Lender such documents as Lender and its counsel may reasonably require in order to insure that the provisions of this section will be validly and legally enforceable and effective against Borrower and all parties claiming by, through, under or against Borrower.

the Operating Lease. In the event that it shall be determined that the Operating Lease is not a lease under applicable real property laws or under laws governing bankruptcy, insolvency and creditors’ rights generally, and that the interest of Operating Lessee thereunder in the Property is other than that of tenant under an operating lease, Borrower hereby covenants and agrees that it shall cause Operating Lessee’s interest in the Property, however characterized, to continue to be subject and subordinate to the lien of the Mortgage and subordinate to Borrower’s fee estate interest in the Property, on all the same terms and conditions as contained, respectively, in the Mortgage and the Operating Lease.
5.2.1 Operation of Property. (a) Neither Borrower nor Operating Lessee shall, without Lender’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld): (i) surrender, terminate, or cancel the Management Agreement or any Replacement R&A Management Agreement; provided, that Borrower or Operating Lessee may, without Lender’s consent, (x) replace the Manager thereunder so long as (1) the replacement manager is a Qualified Manager pursuant to a Replacement Management Agreement or a Qualified R&A Manager pursuant to a Replacement R&A Management Agreement, as applicable, (2) if an R&A Manager Event occurs as a result thereof, the R&A Management Agreement is terminated in connection therewith, and (3) with respect to any replacement of the Manager with respect to the Retail Component (or any related termination of the Management Agreement with respect thereto), Lender shall have received evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Lender that any related termination fees payable to Manager in connection therewith have been paid in full, or (y) terminate the Management Agreement in connection with the Restructuring, provided that the Restructuring Conditions are satisfied prior to or concurrently therewith; (ii) reduce or consent to the reduction of the term of the Management Agreement or any Replacement R&A Management Agreement (except in connection with a replacement permitted under clause (i) that continues the term); (iii) increase or consent to the increase of the amount of any charges or fees under the Management Agreement or any Replacement R&A Management Agreement; or (iv) otherwise modify, change, supplement, alter or amend, or waive or release any of its rights and remedies under, the Management Agreement or any Replacement R&A Management Agreement in any material adverse respect.
(b) Upon receipt of written notice from Lender of the occurrence of an Event of Default and thereafter during the continuance of such Event of Default, neither Borrower nor Operating Lessee shall exercise any rights, make any material decisions, grant any material approvals or otherwise take any material action under any Management Agreement or Replacement R&A Management Agreement to which it is a party without the prior written consent of Lender, which consent may be granted, conditioned or withheld in Lender’s sole discretion.
-111-
(c) Borrower and Operating Lessee shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any Manager Account to be an Eligible Account.
5.2.2 Liens. Neither Borrower nor Operating Lessee shall create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien on any portion of the Property or permit any such action to be taken, except for Permitted Encumbrances. Borrower or Operating Lessee, at its own expense, may contest, by appropriate legal proceeding, promptly initiated and conducted in good faith and with due diligence, any such Lien on any portion of the Property, provided that (i) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured; (ii) such proceeding shall be permitted under and be conducted in accordance with the provisions of any other instrument to which Borrower or Operating Lessee is subject and shall not constitute a default thereunder and such proceeding shall be conducted in accordance with all applicable statutes, laws and ordinances; (iii) neither the Property nor any part thereof or interest therein will be in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost during the pendency thereof; (iv) Borrower or Operating Lessee shall promptly upon final determination thereof pay any amounts that secure such Lien, together with all costs, interest and penalties which may be payable in connection therewith; (v) such proceeding shall suspend the collection of the amounts secured by such Lien from the Property during the pendency thereof; (vi) Borrower or Operating Lessee shall furnish such security as may be required in the proceeding, or as may be reasonably requested by Lender, to insure the payment of any such amounts secured by such Lien, together with all interest and penalties thereon; and (vii) Borrower or Operating Lessee shall deliver written notice of such contest to Lender. Lender may pay over any such cash deposit or part thereof held by Lender to the claimant entitled thereto at any time when, in the reasonable judgment of Lender, the entitlement of such claimant is established or the Property (or part thereof or interest therein) shall be in imminent danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost or there shall be any danger of the Lien of the Mortgage being primed by any related Lien.
5.2.3 Dissolution. Neither Borrower nor Operating Lessee shall (a) engage in any dissolution, liquidation or consolidation or merger with or into any other business entity, (b) engage in any business activity not related to the ownership or leasing (as applicable) and operation of the Property, (c) transfer, lease or sell, in one transaction or any combination of transactions, all or substantially all of its properties or assets except to the extent permitted by the Loan Documents, (d) modify or amend in any material respect, waive or terminate its Organizational Documents or its qualification and good standing in any jurisdiction, in each case, without obtaining the prior written consent of Lender or Lender’s designee or (e) cause the Principal with respect to it to (i) dissolve, wind up or liquidate or take any action, or omit to take an action, as a result of which the Principal would be dissolved, wound up or liquidated in whole or in part, or (ii) amend, modify, waive or terminate the organizational documents of the Principal, in each case, without obtaining the prior written consent of Lender or Lender’s designee.
5.2.4 Change in Business. Neither Borrower nor Operating Lessee shall enter into any line of business other than the ownership or leasing (as applicable), management, maintenance and operation of the Property (and any ancillary business related to such ownership or leasing (as applicable), management, maintenance and operation), or make any material change in the scope or nature of its business objectives, purposes or operations, or undertake or participate in activities other than the continuance of its present business. Nothing contained in
-112-
this Section 5.2.4 is intended to expand the rights of Borrower contained in Section 5.2.10 hereof, and for the avoidance of doubt, the rights of Borrower to effectuate Transfers is governed solely by Section 5.2.10 hereof.
5.2.5 Debt Cancellation. Neither Borrower nor Operating Lessee shall cancel or otherwise forgive or release any claim or debt which is in excess of $100,000 (other than termination of Leases in accordance herewith or the forgiveness in the ordinary course of Borrower’s or Operating Lessee’s business of Rent in arrears in connection with a settlement with a Tenant under a Lease, provided that in the case of a Material Lease, the amount of Rent so forgiven is less than the aggregate amount of two (2) months’ basic Rent under such Material Lease) owed to Borrower or Operating Lessee by any Person, except for adequate consideration and in the ordinary course of Borrower’s or Operating Lessee’s business.
5.2.7 No Joint Assessment. Neither Borrower nor Operating Lessee shall suffer, permit or initiate the joint assessment of the Property (a) with any other real property constituting a tax lot separate from the Property, and (b) which constitutes real property with any portion of the Property which may be deemed to constitute personal property, or any other procedure whereby the lien of any taxes which may be levied against such personal property shall be assessed or levied or charged to such real property portion of the Property.
5.2.8 Intercompany Loans. Borrower and Operating Lessee each hereby acknowledges and agrees that for so long as the Loan remains outstanding with respect to each Intercompany Loan:
(a) such Intercompany Loan shall be fully subordinate to the Loan;
(b) such Intercompany Loan shall be non-recourse to Borrower and any of its assets, including all of its right, title and interest in the Property, and amounts payable pursuant to such Intercompany Loan shall be only permitted to the extent there is net cash flow available after those payments required pursuant to the Loan Documents;
(c) any vote on account of a claim arising from such Intercompany Loan with respect to any plan of reorganization in a bankruptcy proceeding involving Borrower with respect thereto is hereby irrevocably assigned to the Lender;
(d) Operating Lessee shall not take any action to enforce any of its rights or remedies to collect all or a portion of such Intercompany Loan while the Loan remains outstanding;
(e) such Intercompany Loan shall not constitute a claim against Borrower, except to the extent funds are available to pay such amount as provided herein;
-113-
(f) such Intercompany Loan shall be made on arms’ length terms;
(g) any payment from Borrower to Operating Lessee under such Intercompany Loan shall be made by Borrower to the Operating Lessee Operating Account.
In the event of a conflict between any provision set forth in this Section 5.2.8 and any other provision in this Agreement, the former shall govern and control.
5.2.9 ERISA. (a) Assuming compliance by the Lender with paragraph (d) of this Section 5.2.9, Borrower shall not engage in any transactions contemplated under this Agreement which would cause any obligation, or action taken or to be taken, hereunder (or the exercise by Lender of any of its rights under the Note, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents) to be a non-exempt (under a statutory or administrative class exemption) prohibited transaction under Section 406(a) of ERISA.
(c) Borrower further covenants and agrees if any “employee benefit plan”, whether or not subject to Title I of ERISA, holds an equity investment in Borrower or Guarantor, Borrower shall deliver to Lender such certifications from time to time throughout the term of the Loan, as requested by Lender in its sole discretion, but not more frequently than once per calendar year, and on no less than thirty (30) Business Days’ advance written notice (but in no event shall Borrower’s failure to perform this Section 5.2.9(c) constitute an Event of Default), that Borrower is not subject to any state statutes regulating investments and fiduciary obligations with respect to governmental plans and that one or more of the following circumstances with respect to Borrower is true:
(i) Equity interests in Borrower or Borrower’s applicable corporate parent are publicly offered securities, within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. §2510.3-101(b)(2);
(ii) Less than twenty-five percent (25%) of each outstanding class of equity interests in Borrower or Borrower’s applicable corporate parent are held by “benefit plan investors” within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. §2510.3-101(b)(2), as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA; or
(iii) Borrower or Borrower’s applicable corporate parent qualifies as an “operating company” or a “real estate operating company” within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. §2510.3-101(c) or (e) or another exception to ERISA applies such that Borrower’s assets or Borrower’s applicable corporate parent’s assets should not constitute “plan assets” of any “benefit plan investor” within the meaning of Section 3(42) of ERISA and the regulations promulgated thereunder.
(d) Lender represents and warrants that, throughout the term of the Loan, no portion of the assets used by any Lender in connection with the transactions contemplated under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitutes assets of a (i) “benefit plan investor” within the meaning of the Plan Asset Regulations unless the applicable Lender is relying on an available prohibited transaction exemption, all of the conditions of which are and continue to be satisfied or (ii) governmental plan (as defined in Section 3(32) of ERISA) which is subject to any
-114-
provision which is substantially similar to the prohibited transaction provisions of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (“Applicable Similar Law”), unless the acquisition and holding of the Loan or any interest therein will not give rise to a violation of any such Applicable Similar Law.
(e) Borrower, Operating Lessee and Guarantor will fund or cause to be funded any Plan established or maintained by Borrower, Operating Lessee, Guarantor, or any ERISA Affiliate, as the case may be, in amounts necessary to satisfy the applicable minimum funding standards, within the meaning of Sections 412 or 430 of the Internal Revenue Code or Section 302 of ERISA (whether or not such standards are waived). As soon as possible and in any event within ten (10) days after Borrower or Operating Lessee knows that any ERISA Event has occurred with respect to any Plan, Lender will be provided with a statement, signed by an Authorized Representative of Borrower, Operating Lessee and/or Guarantor, describing said ERISA Event and the action which Borrower, Operating Lessee and/or Guarantor proposes to take with respect thereto.
5.2.10 Transfers. (a) Each of Borrower and Operating Lessee acknowledges that Lender has examined and relied on the experience of Borrower, Operating Lessee and their respective stockholders, general partners, members, principals and (if Borrower or Operating Lessee is a trust) beneficial owners in owning and operating properties such as the Property in agreeing to make the Loan, and will continue to rely on Borrower’s ownership of the Property as a means of maintaining the value of the Property as security for repayment of the Debt and the performance of the Other Obligations. Borrower acknowledges that Lender has a valid interest in maintaining the value of the Property so as to ensure that, should Borrower default in the repayment of the Debt or the performance of the Other Obligations, Lender can recover the Debt by a sale of the Property.
(b) Without the prior written consent of Lender, Borrower and Operating Lessee shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Party to do any of the following (collectively, a “Transfer”): (i) sell, convey, mortgage, grant, bargain, encumber, pledge, assign, grant options with respect to, or otherwise transfer or dispose of (directly or indirectly, voluntarily or involuntarily, by operation of law or otherwise, and whether or not for consideration or of record) the Property or any part thereof or any legal or beneficial interest therein or (ii) permit a Sale or Pledge of an interest in any Restricted Party, in each case, other than any Transfer which constitutes a Permitted Transfer.
(c) A Transfer shall include, but not be limited to, (i) an installment sales agreement wherein Borrower agrees to sell the Property or any part thereof for a price to be paid in installments; (ii) an agreement by Borrower or Operating Lessee leasing all or a substantial part of the Property for other than actual occupancy by a space Tenant thereunder or a sale, assignment or other transfer of, or the grant of a security interest in, Borrower’s or Operating Lessee’s right, title and interest in and to any Leases or any Rents; (iii) if a Restricted Party is a corporation, any merger, consolidation or Sale or Pledge of such corporation’s stock or the creation or issuance of new stock; (iv) if a Restricted Party is a limited or general partnership or joint venture, any merger or consolidation or the change, removal, resignation or addition of a general partner or the Sale or Pledge of the partnership interest of any general partner or any profits or proceeds relating to such partnership interest, or the Sale or Pledge of limited
-115-
partnership interests or any profits or proceeds relating to such limited partnership interest or the creation or issuance of new limited partnership interests; (v) if a Restricted Party is a limited liability company, any merger or consolidation or the change, removal, resignation or addition of a managing member or non-member manager (or if no managing member, any member) or the Sale or Pledge of the membership interest of a managing member (or if no managing member, any member) or any profits or proceeds relating to such membership interest, or the Sale or Pledge of non-managing membership interests or the creation or issuance of new non-managing membership interests or (vi) if a Restricted Party is a trust or nominee trust, any merger, consolidation or the Sale or Pledge of the legal or beneficial interest in a Restricted Party or the creation or issuance of new legal or beneficial interests.
(d) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5.2.10, the following shall not be deemed to be a Transfer (and, as such, may be consummated without the prior consent of Lender, any Rating Agency Confirmation (other than, with respect to subsection (i) below, as set forth in the Restructuring Conditions) or the payment of any fee in connection therewith, but subject to the satisfaction of any conditions and requirements expressly set forth herein with respect thereto):
(i) The Restructuring, provided that the Restructuring Conditions are satisfied prior to or substantially concurrently therewith or Borrower otherwise receives the consent of Lender and a Rating Agency Confirmation.
(ii) The Sale or Pledge, in one or a series of transactions, of the direct or indirect equity interests in Borrower or any other Restricted Party; provided, that, (A) after giving effect to such Sale or Pledge, Guarantor shall (x) own not less than fifty and one tenths percent (50.1%) of the economic and direct or indirect legal and beneficial interests in Borrower and Operating Lessee (on a look-through basis) and (y) Control Borrower and Operating Lessee, (B) upon the written request of Lender, Borrower shall deliver to Lender notice of each Sale or Pledge described in this Section 5.2.10(d)(ii) not less than ten (10) days following such request, (C) no Sale or Pledge of any direct equity interest in Borrower, Operating Lessee or Principal shall be permitted, (D) no pledge of any direct equity interest of any Restricted Party that is not Borrower, Operating Lessee or Principal (such entities being subject to the prohibition set forth in the foregoing clause (C)) shall be permitted unless such Restricted Party has material other assets (including equity interests owned by such Restricted Party directly and/or through its subsidiaries) that are in addition to its direct or indirect ownership interests in Borrower, Operating Lessee or Principal (i.e., no such pledge shall be permitted unless the Restricted Party being pledged directly or indirectly owns material assets in excess of its indirect interests in the Property), (E) after giving effect to such Sale or Pledge, Borrower and Operating Lessee shall continue to be a Special Purpose Entity, and (F) the proposed transferee(s) in connection with such Sale or Pledge shall satisfy Lender’s then current “know your customer” requirements (provided that such requirement shall be applied consistent with the requirements that are then applied by Lender to all prospective borrowers of similar size and type and relating to similar transactions) and Lender shall have received Satisfactory Search Results with respect to each such proposed transferee (and owners of its direct or indirect equity interests) which will own, following the consummation of the Sale or Pledge, a ten percent (10%) or greater equity interest (directly or indirectly) in
-116-
Borrower or Operating Lessee after giving effect to such Transfer. If after giving effect to any such Sale or Pledge, more than forty-nine percent (49%) in the aggregate of direct or indirect interests in a Restricted Party are owned by any Person and its Affiliates that owned less than forty-nine percent (49%) direct or indirect interest in such Restricted Party as of the Closing Date, Borrower shall deliver to Lender an Additional Insolvency Opinion.
(iii) Any Sale or Pledge of any direct or indirect legal or beneficial ownership interest in any Excluded Entity.
(e) No Transfer of the Property or any portion thereof or any direct or indirect legal or beneficial direct or indirect interest in Borrower or Operating Lessee (in each case, other than a Permitted Transfer) shall occur during the period that is one hundred twenty (120) days prior to, and sixty (60) days after, a Securitization. After such period and without limitation to the right to consummate any Permitted Transfer (which, for the avoidance of doubt shall not be governed or restricted by this Section 5.2.10(e)), a Transfer of (i) the Property or (ii) all of the direct interests in Borrower and Operating Lessee (unless the Operating Lease is terminated in connection with such Transfer), or, if applicable to Borrower or Operating Lessee or the Principal with respect thereto, including any such Transfer effectuated pursuant to a merger (any Transfer referenced in the foregoing clause (i) or clause (ii), a “Permitted Assumption”), shall be permitted without Lender’s consent, provided that Lender receives not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of such Permitted Assumption and no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time such Permitted Assumption is consummated, and further provided that the following additional requirements are satisfied:
(i) Borrower shall pay Lender a transfer fee equal to $250,000.00;
(ii) Borrower shall pay any and all reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred by Lender in connection with such Permitted Assumption (including, without limitation, Lender’s reasonable counsel fees and disbursements and all recording fees, title insurance premiums and mortgage and intangible taxes and the fees and expenses of the Approved Rating Agencies);
(iii) Each proposed transferee (individually and/or collectively, as the context may dictate, the “Transferee”) must be (A) a Qualified Transferee or (B) at least fifty-one percent (51%) owned (directly or indirectly) and Controlled by a Qualified Transferee;
(iv) With respect to a Transfer of the Property rather than by Transfer of the legal or beneficial direct or indirect interests in Borrower and Operating Lessee (unless the Operating Lease is terminated in connection with such Transfer), if applicable, the Transferee to which the Property is conveyed shall assume all of the obligations of Borrower and Operating Lessee (unless the Operating Lease is terminated in connection therewith) under the Loan Documents in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Lender, including, without limitation, by entering into an assumption agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender;
-117-
(v) The Transferee and the Transferee’s principals that Control the Transferee (the “Related Entities”) must be able to satisfy all the representations and covenants set forth in Sections 4.1.35, 5.1.25 and 5.2.9 of this Agreement, and the Transferee and the Related Entities shall deliver (A) all organizational documentation reasonably requested by Lender, which shall be reasonably satisfactory to Lender and, following a Securitization, satisfactory to the Approved Rating Agencies, and (B) all certificates and agreements necessary to evidence the Permitted Assumption and a due authority, execution and enforceability opinion reasonably acceptable to Lender;
(vi) The Transferee and each owner of an equity interest (directly or indirectly) in the Transferee which will, following the consummation of the Permitted Assumption, own a ten percent (10%) or greater equity interest (directly or indirectly) in Borrower or Operating Lessee (unless the Operating Lease is terminated in connection with such Permitted Assumption) shall satisfy Lender’s then current “know your customer” requirements (provided that such requirement shall be applied consistent with the requirements that are then applied by Lender to all prospective borrowers of similar size and type and relating to similar transactions) and Lender shall have received Satisfactory Search Results with respect to Transferee (and owners of its direct or indirect equity interests) which will own, following the consummation of the Permitted Assumption, a ten percent (10%) or greater equity interest (directly or indirectly) in Borrower or Operating Lessee (unless the Operating Lease is terminated in connection with such Permitted Assumption) after giving effect to such Permitted Assumption;
(vii) Borrower or Transferee, at its sole cost and expense, shall deliver to Lender an Additional Insolvency Opinion reflecting such Transfer;
(viii) There shall be no material litigation relating to the creditworthiness of the Transferee or any Related Entity thereof or any regulatory action pending against Transferee or any Related Entities, in each case, which could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of such Transferee or such Related Entity;
(ix) If, in connection with the Permitted Assumption, Guarantor no longer owns a direct or indirect interest in Borrower or Operating Lessee (unless the Operating Lease is terminated in connection with such Transfer), one (1) or more Qualified Transferees (as applicable, the “Replacement Guarantor”) shall have assumed all of the liabilities and obligations of Guarantor arising under the Guaranty after the date of such Transfer (but not any which may have accrued prior thereto) or execute a Replacement Guaranty;
(x) If the Permitted Assumption is accomplished by deed or conveyance of the Property rather than by a Transfer of the legal or beneficial direct or indirect interests in Borrower and Operating Lessee (unless the Operating Lease is terminated in connection with such Transfer), if applicable, Borrower shall deliver, at its sole cost and expense, an endorsement to the Title Insurance Policy, as modified by the assumption agreement, as a valid first lien on the Property and naming the Transferee as owner of the Property, which endorsement shall insure that, as of the date of the recording of the
-118-
assumption agreement, the Property shall not be subject to any additional exceptions or liens other than those contained in the Title Insurance Policy and any other Permitted Encumbrances;
(xi) The receipt by Lender of a Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to such Permitted Assumption; and
(xii) The Property shall be managed by a Qualified Manager pursuant to the Management Agreement and a Qualified R&A Manager pursuant to any Replacement R&A Management Agreement.
Immediately upon a Transfer of the Property and the satisfaction of all of the above requirements, Borrower and Operating Lessee shall be released from all liability under this Agreement, the Note, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents for acts or omissions occurring after such Transfer. The foregoing release shall be effective upon the date such Permitted Assumption is consummated, but Lender agrees to provide written evidence thereof reasonably requested by Borrower.
(f) In the case of a Transfer that is a Permitted Assumption pursuant to Section 5.2.10(e), Guarantor shall be released from the Guaranty for all liability arising after the date of such Transfer upon (i) an assumption of the Guaranty by the Replacement Guarantor pursuant to Section 5.2.10(e)(ix) or (ii) the execution by the Replacement Guarantor of a replacement guaranty, in form and substance that is the same as the Guaranty, covering all liability arising after the date of such Transfer (but not any which may have accrued prior thereto) (a “Replacement Guaranty”).
(g) Lender shall not be required to demonstrate any actual impairment of its security or any increased risk of default hereunder in order to declare the Debt immediately due and payable upon the consummation of any Transfer in violation of this Section 5.2.10. This provision shall apply to every Transfer regardless of whether voluntary or not, or whether or not Lender has consented to any previous Transfer.
5.2.11 Ground Lease. (a) Intentionally omitted.
(b) Borrower shall not waive, excuse, condone or in any way release or discharge Ground Lessor under the Ground Lease of or from Ground Lessor’s material obligations, covenant and/or conditions under the Ground Lease without the prior written consent of Lender (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned).
(c) For so long as the Ground Lease Parcel is part of the Property that is subject to the Mortgage, Borrower shall not, without Lender’s prior written consent, surrender, terminate, forfeit, or suffer or permit the surrender, termination or forfeiture of, or change, modify or amend in a material adverse manner, the Ground Lease, other than an expiration of the Ground Lease pursuant to its terms. Consent to one amendment, change, agreement or modification shall not be deemed to be a waiver of the right to require consent to other, future or successive amendments, changes, agreements or modifications. Any acquisition of Ground Lessor’s interest in the Ground Lease by Borrower or any Affiliate of Borrower shall be accomplished by Borrower in such a manner so as to avoid a merger of the interests of lessor and lessee in the Ground Lease, unless consent to such merger is granted by Lender.
-119-
5.2.12 Condominium Documents. Borrower shall not, without Lender’s prior written consent, vote to amend, modify, supplement or terminate, or consent to (a) the termination of any of the Condominium Documents or (b) the amendment, modification or supplementation of any of the Condominium Documents in any material respect which would have a Material Adverse Effect or materially and adversely affect Lender’s rights under the Condominium Documents. Without the prior written consent of the Lender, Borrower shall not vote to approve any of the following matters in connection with the Condominium (unless expressly required under the Condominium Documents): (i) any material and adverse change in the nature and amount of any insurance covering all or a part of the Condominium and the disposition of any proceeds thereof, but only to the extent any of the foregoing violates the Loan Documents; (ii) the manner in which any condemnation or threat of condemnation of all or a part of the Property shall be defended or settled and the disposition of any award or settlement in connection therewith, but only to the extent the foregoing violates the Loan Documents; (iii) any amendment to the Condominium Documents which by their terms requires the consent of Lender and any removal of any portion of the Property from the provisions of the Condominium Law; (iv) the creation of, or any change in, any private restrictive covenant, zoning ordinance, or other public or private restrictions, now or hereafter limiting or defining the uses which may be made of the Property or any part thereof or (v) any material relocation of the boundaries of the Property.
5.2.13 Affiliate Transactions. None of Borrower, Operating Lessee or Principal may enter into or be a party to, and will not enter into or be a party to, any transaction with its partners, members, shareholders or Affiliates except in the ordinary course of its business and on terms which are commercially reasonable and are no less favorable to it than would be obtained in a comparable arm’s length transaction with an unrelated third party. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in the foregoing shall be deemed to apply to (i) the R&A Management Agreement or (ii) Transfers between Affiliates of any direct or indirect ownership interest in Borrower or Operating Lessee, which Transfers shall governed solely by Section 5.2.10.
5.2.14 Operating Lease. Without Lender’s prior written consent, neither Borrower nor Operating Lessee shall (a) surrender, terminate or cancel the Operating Lease, (b) release any of its respective material rights and remedies under the Operating Lease if the same would have a Material Adverse Effect, (c) modify, change, supplement, alter or amend the Operating Lease if the same would have, or reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect or (d) waive, excuse, condone or in any way release or discharge the other party of or from its material obligations, covenants and/or conditions under the Operating Lease if the same would have a Material Adverse Effect.

ARTICLE VI
INSURANCE; CASUALTY; CONDEMNATION
Section 6.1 Insurance. (a) Borrower or Operating Lessee shall obtain and maintain, or cause to be maintained, insurance for Borrower, Operating Lessee and the Property providing at least the following coverages:
(i) comprehensive all risk “special form” insurance including, but not limited to, loss caused by any type of windstorm or hail, on the Improvements and the Personal Property, (A) in an amount equal to the lesser of (1) one hundred percent (100%) of the “Full Replacement Cost,” which for purposes of this Agreement shall mean actual replacement value (exclusive of costs of excavations, foundations, underground utilities and footings) and (2) $1,300,000,000 per occurrence, in each case, with a waiver of depreciation; (B) waiving all co insurance provisions or to be written on a no co insurance form; (C) providing no deductible greater than $500,000 per occurrence; Borrower and/or Operating Lessee may utilize a $5,000,000 aggregate deductible (basket aggregate) in conjunction with a per occurrence deductible which will not exceed $500,000 per occurrence except with respect to flood, windstorm and earthquake coverage, providing for a deductible not to exceed five percent (5%) of the total insurable value of the Property (the “Base Deductible”), subject to a $1,000,000 minimum; provided, however, that Borrower and/or Operating Lessee shall be permitted to maintain a maximum deductible with respect to flood, windstorm and earthquake coverage of fifteen percent (15%) of the total insurable value of the Property (the “Increased Deductible”) if Guarantor delivers the Deductible Guaranty, guaranteeing any failure by Borrower and/or Operating Lessee to pay its obligations (the “Guaranteed Excess Deductible Obligations”) actually incurred with respect to that portion of the Increased Deductible which exceeds the Base Deductible and not otherwise insured by a third-party provider (such difference, the “Excess Deductible”) and, except that, with respect to the Increased Deductible for flood coverage, Borrower shall not increase the amounts of such Increased Deductible or lower the positions of such Increased Deductible amounts below the current positions which are in place as of the Closing Date; and (D) if any of the Improvements or the use of the Property shall at any time constitute legal non-conforming structures or uses, coverage for loss to the undamaged portion in an amount equal to the amount required pursuant to clause (A) hereinabove for the undamaged portion and for coverage for demolition costs and coverage for increased costs of construction provide a combined minimum limit of $250,000,000 per occurrence. In addition, Borrower and/or Operating Lessee shall obtain: (y) flood insurance, including tsunami, in amounts acceptable to Lender, except that for the Property where any portion of the Improvements is currently or at any time in the future located in a federally designated “special flood hazard area,” flood insurance shall include the maximum amount of such insurance available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 or the National Flood Insurance Reform Act of 1994, as each may be amended. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the limits provided with respect to flood are eroded by five percent (5%) or more due to claims, Borrower and/or Operating Lessee shall reinstate the available flood limits within ninety (90) days to the limits in place as of the Closing Date, and (z) earthquake insurance,
-121-
including earth movement due to volcanic eruption, in an amount acceptable to Lender; provided that the insurance pursuant to clauses (y) and (z) hereof shall be on terms consistent with the comprehensive all risk insurance policy required under this subsection (i). Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject to Rating Agency approval, Borrower and/or Operating Lessee shall be permitted to provide coverage for named windstorm in an amount equal to the greater of (1) $500,000,000 per occurrence and (2) the 1,000-year Probable Maximum Loss as indicated in a risk analysis for all high risk locations under the Policy (such analysis to be approved by Lender and Rating Agencies and secured by Borrower and/or Operating Lessee utilizing a third-party engineering firm qualified to perform such risk analysis using the most current RMS software, or its equivalent, to include consideration of storm surge and loss amplification, at the expense of Borrower and/or Operating Lessee). The risk analyses for windstorm required pursuant to this subsection (i) shall be referred to herein as an “Acceptable Risk Analysis”;
(ii) business income or rental loss insurance (A) with loss payable to Lender; (B) covering all risks required to be covered by the insurance provided for in subsection (i) above; (C) in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the projected gross revenues from the operation of the Property (as reduced to reflect expenses not incurred during a period of Restoration) on an actual loss sustained basis for the entire period of Restoration or for a twenty-four (24) month period of indemnity; and (D) containing an extended period of indemnity endorsement which provides that after the physical loss to the Improvements and Personal Property has been repaired, the continued loss of income will be insured until such income either returns to the same level it was at prior to the loss, or the expiration of six (6) months from the date that the Property is repaired or replaced and operations are resumed, whichever first occurs, and notwithstanding that the policy may expire prior to the end of such period. The amount of such business income or rental loss insurance shall be determined prior to the date hereof and at least once each year thereafter based on Borrower’s and/or Operating Lessee’s reasonable estimate of the gross revenues from the Property (as reduced to reflect expenses not incurred during a period of Restoration) for the succeeding twelve (12) month period. All proceeds payable to Lender pursuant to this subsection shall be held by Lender and nothing herein contained shall be deemed to relieve Borrower of its obligations to pay the obligations secured by the Loan Documents on the respective dates of payment provided for in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents except to the extent such amounts are actually paid out of the proceeds of such business income insurance;
(iii) at all times during which structural construction, repairs or alterations are being made with respect to the Improvements, and only if the Property coverage form does not otherwise apply, (A) owner’s contingent or protective liability insurance (or an equivalent) covering claims not covered by or under the terms or provisions of the below mentioned commercial general liability insurance policy and (B) the insurance provided for in subsection (i) above written in a so called builder’s risk completed value form (1) on a non-reporting basis, (2) against all risks insured against pursuant to subsection (i) above, (3) including permission to occupy the Property and (4) with an agreed amount endorsement waiving co insurance provisions;
-122-
(iv) comprehensive boiler and machinery insurance, if steam boilers or other pressure fixed vessels are in operation, in an amount not less than $50,000,000 on terms consistent with the commercial property insurance policy required under subsection (i) above;
(v) commercial general liability insurance against claims for personal injury, bodily injury, death or property damage occurring upon, in or about the Property, such insurance (A) to be on the so called “occurrence” form with a combined limit of not less than $1,500,000.00 in the aggregate and $1,000,000.00 per occurrence; including a self-insured retention of not greater than $500,000.00; (B) to continue at not less than the aforesaid limit until required to be changed by Lender in writing by reason of changed economic conditions making such protection inadequate and (C) to cover at least the following hazards: (1) premises and operations; (2) products and completed operations on an “if any” basis; (3) independent contractors; (4) contractual liability for all insured contracts and (5) contractual liability covering the indemnities contained in Section 9 of the Mortgage to the extent the same is insurable;
(vi) if applicable, automobile liability coverage for all owned and non-owned vehicles, including rented and leased vehicles containing minimum limits per occurrence of $1,000,000.00;
(vii) if applicable, worker’s compensation and employer’s liability subject to the worker’s compensation laws of the applicable state;
(viii) umbrella/excess liability insurance in an amount not less than $100,000,000.00 per occurrence and in the aggregate on terms consistent with the commercial general liability insurance policy required under subsection (v) above, and including, but not limited to, supplemental coverage for employer’s liability, liquor liability and automobile liability, which umbrella liability coverage shall apply in excess of such supplemental coverage;
(ix) the insurance required under this Section 6.1(a)(i), (ii), (v) and (viii) above shall include Terrorism Coverage, or if excluded from the policies required above, coverage for the peril of terrorism and acts of terrorism shall be provided through a separate policy acceptable to Lender and Borrower and/or Operating Lessee shall maintain insurance for loss resulting from perils and acts of terrorism on terms (including amounts) consistent with those required under Section 6.1(a)(i), (ii), (v) and (viii) above at all times during the term of the Loan. For so long as TRIPRA or a subsequent statute, extension or reauthorization thereof, is in effect and continues to cover both foreign and domestic acts, Lender shall accept terrorism insurance with coverage against acts which are “certified” within the meaning of TRIPRA. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the amount of terrorism coverage that shall be required for the Policies required in Section 6.1(a)(i) and (ii) above shall be in an amount equal to the lesser of (1) the amounts required for the Property pursuant to Section 6.1(a)(i) and (2) $1,275,000,000 (provided that, in the event such limit is an annual aggregate and said limit is eroded by five percent (5%) or more due to claims, Borrower shall reinstate the available limits within ninety (90) days to the limits required herein). If (A) TRIPRA or a similar or
-123-
subsequent statute, extension or reauthorization thereof is not in effect, (B) TRIPRA or a similar or subsequent statute, extension or reauthorization is modified which results in a material increase in terrorism insurance premiums, or (C) there is a disruption in the terrorism insurance marketplace as the result of a terrorism event which results in a material increase in terrorism insurance premiums for properties located in the United States, then provided that terrorism insurance is commercially available, Borrower and/or Operating Lessee shall be required to carry terrorism insurance throughout the term of the Loan as required by the preceding sentence, but in such event Borrower and/or Operating Lessee shall not be required to spend on terrorism insurance coverage more than two times the amount of the insurance premium that is payable at such time in respect of the property and business interruption/rental loss insurance required hereunder (without giving effect to the cost of the terrorism, earthquake and windstorm components of such casualty and business interruption/rental loss insurance), and if the cost of terrorism insurance exceeds such amount, Borrower and/or Operating Lessee shall purchase the maximum amount of terrorism insurance available with funds equal to such amount;
(x) Employment Practices Liability, including third party coverage, in an amount not less than $5,000,000:
(xi) Crime coverage in amounts not less than $5,000,000;
(xii) Liquor Liability in amounts not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence and to be included in the umbrella/excess liability insurance required in subsection (viii) above;
(xiii) environmental insurance against claims for pollution and remediation legal liability related to the Property (“PLL Policy”) as follows: (A) to be a claims made and reported policy for an initial term of ten (10) years and such PLL Policy shall either be extended or replaced with an equivalent PLL Policy or Borrower shall purchase the optional extended reporting period of two (2) years in accordance with the terms and conditions of the PLL Policy such that, in either case, the PLL Policy shall be in effect until two (2) years past the Maturity Date; (B) with limits of liability of $10,000,000 for each Pollution Condition and $25,000,000 in the aggregate; (C) with a self-insured retention amount of $50,000 for each Pollution Condition; (D) shall name the Lender as an additional named insured per Mortgagee Assignment endorsements providing automatic rights of assignment in the event of defaults; (E) Borrower and/or Operating Lessee shall not be permitted to add any additional locations during the PLL Policy term; and (F) shall, throughout the PLL Policy term, include the same coverages, terms, conditions and endorsements (and shall not be amended in any way without the prior written consent of Lender) as the PLL Policy approved as of the Closing Date; and
(xiv) upon sixty (60) days written notice, such other reasonable insurance and in such reasonable amounts as Lender from time to time may reasonably request against such other insurable hazards which at the time are commonly insured against for property similar to the Property located in or around the region in which the Property is located.
(b) All insurance provided for in Section 6.1(a) hereof, shall be obtained under valid and enforceable policies (collectively, the “Policies” or in the singular, the “Policy”),
-124-
and shall be subject to the approval of Lender as to insurance companies, amounts, deductibles, loss payees and insureds. The Policies shall be issued by financially sound and responsible insurance companies having a rating of (1) “A” or better (or its equivalent) by S&P, Fitch (if Fitch is rating the Securitization and is rating the insurance company) and Moody’s (if Xxxxx’x is rating the Securitization and is rating the insurance company) provided, however, that if Borrower and/or Operating Lessee elects to have its insurance coverage provided by a syndicate of insurers, then, if such syndicate consists of five (5) or more members, (A) at least sixty percent (60%) of the insurance coverage (or seventy-five percent (75%) if such syndicate consists of four (4) or fewer members) and one hundred percent (100%) of the first layer of insurance coverage shall be provided by insurance companies having a claims paying ability rating of “A” or better (or its equivalent) by S&P, Fitch (if Fitch is rating the Securitization and is rating the insurance company) and Moody’s (if Xxxxx’x is rating the Securitization and is rating the insurance company) and (B) the remaining forty percent (40%) of the insurance coverage (or the remaining twenty-five percent (25%) if such syndicate consists of four (4) or fewer members) shall be provided by insurance companies having a claims paying ability rating of “BBB+” or better (or its equivalent) by S&P, Fitch (if Fitch is rating the Securitization and is rating the insurance company) and Moody’s (if Xxxxx’x is rating the Securitization and is rating the insurance company) and (2) “A VIII” or better by AM Best. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall be permitted to maintain a portion of the coverage with United Specialty Insurance Company (“United”) in their current participation amounts and positions within the syndicate provided that Borrower obtains reinsurance with a cut-through endorsement, acceptable to Lender and the Rating Agencies, with respect to United from an insurance company which shall be rated at least “A” with S&P and “A2” with Moody’s, to the extent Moody’s rates the Securities and rates the applicable insurance company, or such higher rating as may be required by a Rating Agency, not to exceed “A+” with S&P and “A1” with Moody’s, to the extent Moody’s rates the Securities and rates the applicable insurance company. The Policies described in Section 6.1 hereof (other than those strictly limited to liability protection) shall designate Lender as loss payee. Prior to the expiration dates of the Policies theretofore furnished to Lender, evidence that the Policies shall continue in force uninterrupted, to be followed by evidence satisfactory to Lender of payment of the premiums due thereunder (the “Insurance Premiums”) as such Insurance Premiums shall become due and payable, shall be delivered by Borrower to Lender.
(c) Any blanket insurance Policy shall specifically allocate to the Property the amount of coverage from time to time required hereunder or shall otherwise provide the same protection as would a separate Policy insuring only the Property in compliance with the provisions of Section 6.1(a) hereof. In the event Borrower and/or Operating Lessee adds any locations to the Policy that are subject to the perils of earthquake, flood or wind/named storm, Borrower shall notify Lender and provide updated Acceptable Risk Analyses as applicable and the limits provided for such perils shall be increased as necessary so as to be in compliance with the requirements of Section 6.1. In the event Borrower and/or Operating Lessee adds any locations to the Policy providing coverage for terrorism which is within a 1,000 foot radius (the “Radius”) of the Property, Borrower shall (1) increase the limits of any such Policy so that it shall be adequate to maintain the coverage set forth in this Section 6.1 for each property in the aggregate within the Radius that is covered by such blanket policy calculated on a total insured value basis or (2) provide the required coverage on a separate policy in compliance with the requirements of this Section 6.1.
-125-
(d) All Policies provided for or contemplated by Section 6.1(a) hereof shall name Borrower and Operating Lessee as named insureds and, in the case of liability policies, except for the Policy referenced in Section 6.1(a)(vii) of this Agreement, shall name Lender as the additional insured, as its interests may appear, and in the case of property damage, including but not limited to terrorism, boiler and machinery, flood and earthquake insurance, shall contain a standard non-contributing mortgagee clause in favor of Lender providing that the loss thereunder shall be payable to Lender and guaranteeing thirty (30) days’ notice of cancellation to Lender except ten (10) days’ notice for non-payment of premium.
(e) All Policies shall contain clauses or endorsements to the effect that:
(i) no act or negligence of Borrower or Operating Lessee, or anyone acting for Borrower or Operating Lessee, or of any Tenant or other occupant, or failure to comply with the provisions of any Policy, which might otherwise result in a forfeiture of the insurance or any part thereof, shall in any way affect the validity or enforceability of the insurance insofar as Lender is concerned;
(ii) the Policy shall not be materially changed (other than to increase the coverage provided thereby) or canceled without at least thirty (30) days written notice to Lender and any other party named therein as an additional insured; provided, that ten (10) days’ notice will be required for non-payment of premium or; if issuer will not or cannot provide the notices required herein, Borrower shall be obligated to provide such notice;
(iii) the issuers thereof shall give ten (10) days’ written notice to Lender if the issuers of such Policy elect not to renew the Policy prior to its expiration or, if the issuers will not or cannot provide the notices required herein, Borrower shall be obligated to provide such notice; and
(iv) Lender shall not be liable for any Insurance Premiums thereon or subject to any assessments thereunder.
If at any time Lender is not in receipt of written evidence that all insurance required hereunder is in full force and effect, Lender shall have the right to take such action as Lender deems necessary to protect its interest in the Property, including, without limitation, the obtaining of such insurance coverage as Lender in its sole discretion deems appropriate after ten (10) Business Days’ notice to Borrower if prior to the date upon which any such coverage will lapse or at any time Lender deems necessary (regardless of prior notice to Borrower) to avoid the lapse of any such coverage. All premiums incurred by Lender in connection with such action or in obtaining such insurance and keeping it in effect shall be paid by Borrower to Lender upon demand and, until paid, shall be secured by the Mortgage and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.
Section 6.2 Casualty. If the Property shall be damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty (a “Casualty”), Borrower or Operating Lessee shall give prompt written notice of such damage to Lender (provided that no notice shall be required in connection with a Casualty that is de minimis) and shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the completion of the Restoration of the Property pursuant to Section 6.4 hereof as nearly as possible to the condition the Property was in immediately prior to such Casualty, with
-126-
such alterations as may be reasonably approved by Lender and otherwise in accordance with Section 6.4 hereof. Borrower shall pay all costs of such Restoration whether or not such costs are covered by insurance. Lender may, but shall not be obligated to make proof of loss if not made promptly by Borrower or Operating Lessee. In addition, Lender may participate in any settlement discussions with any insurance companies with respect to any Casualty in which the Net Proceeds or the costs of completing the Restoration are equal to or greater than the Casualty/Condemnation Threshold Amount and Borrower or Operating Lessee, as applicable, shall deliver to Lender all instruments required by Lender to permit such participation.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, if the Loan or any portion thereof is included in a REMIC Trust and, immediately following a release of any portion of the Lien of the Mortgage in connection with a Condemnation of the Property (but taking into account any proposed Restoration on the remaining portion of the Property) (based solely on real property and excluding any personal property or going concern value), the Loan-to-Value Ratio is greater than 125% (such value to be determined, in Lender’s sole discretion, by any commercially reasonable method permitted to a
-127-
REMIC Trust), the principal balance of the Loan must prepaid down by an amount not less than the least of the following amounts: (i) the Condemnation Proceeds, (ii) the fair market value of the released property at the time of the release, or (iii) an amount such that the Loan-to-Value Ratio (as so determined by Lender) does not increase after the release, unless Lender receives an opinion of counsel that if such amount is not paid, the Securitization will not fail to maintain its status as a REMIC Trust as a result of the related release of such portion of the Lien of the Mortgage. Any such prepayment shall be deemed a voluntary prepayment and shall be subject to Section 2.4.1 hereof (other than the requirements to prepay the Debt in full and provide thirty (30) days’ notice to Lender).
Section 6.4 Restoration. The following provisions shall apply in connection with the Restoration of the Property:
(a) If the Net Proceeds shall be less than the Casualty/Condemnation Threshold Amount and the costs of completing the Restoration shall be less than the Casualty/Condemnation Threshold Amount, the Net Proceeds will be disbursed by Lender to Borrower upon receipt, provided that all of the conditions set forth in Section 6.4(b)(i) (A), (C), (F), (G) and (H) hereof are met and Borrower delivers to Lender a written undertaking to expeditiously commence and to satisfactorily complete with due diligence the Restoration in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(b) If the Net Proceeds are equal to or greater than the Casualty/Condemnation Threshold Amount or the costs of completing the Restoration is equal to or greater than the Casualty/Condemnation Threshold Amount, Lender shall make the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4. The term “Net Proceeds” for purposes of this Section 6.4 shall mean: (i) the net amount of all insurance proceeds received by Lender pursuant to Section 6.1(a)(i), (iv), (ix) and (x) as a result of such damage or destruction, after deduction of the reasonable costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable counsel fees), if any, in collecting same (“Insurance Proceeds”), or (ii) the net amount of the Award, after deduction of the reasonable costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable counsel fees), if any, in collecting same (“Condemnation Proceeds”), whichever the case may be.
(i) The Net Proceeds shall be made available to Borrower or Operating Lessee for Restoration provided that each of the following conditions are met:
(A) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;
(B) (1) in the event the Net Proceeds are Insurance Proceeds, less than thirty percent (30%) of the total floor area of the Improvements on the Property has been damaged, destroyed or rendered unusable as a result of such Casualty or (2) in the event the Net Proceeds are Condemnation Proceeds, less than twenty two and one half percent (22.5%) of the land constituting the Property is taken, and such land is located along the perimeter or periphery of the Property, and no portion of the Improvements is located on such land;
-128-
(C) Borrower or Operating Lessee shall commence the Restoration as soon as reasonably practicable (but in no event later than one hundred twenty (120) days after such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, occurs) and shall diligently pursue the same to satisfactory completion, provided, that for purposes of this clause the filing of an application for a building permit for the Restoration shall be deemed to be commencement of the Restoration provided Borrower or Operating Lessee promptly commences work thereafter and diligently proceeds to the completion of such Restoration;
(D) Lender shall be satisfied that any operating deficits, including all scheduled payments of principal and interest under the Note, which will be incurred with respect to the Property as a result of the occurrence of any such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, will be covered out of (1) the Net Proceeds, (2) the insurance coverage referred to in Section 6.1(a)(ii) hereof, if applicable, or (3) by other funds of Borrower or Operating Lessee;
(E) Lender shall be satisfied, subject to a force majeure delay, that the Restoration will be completed on or before the earliest to occur of (1) one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the Maturity Date, (2) such time as may be required under all applicable Legal Requirements in order to repair and restore the Property to the condition it was in immediately prior to such Casualty or to as nearly as possible the condition it was in immediately prior to such Condemnation, as applicable, or (3) the expiration of the insurance coverage referred to in Section 6.1(a)(ii) hereof;
(F) the Property and the use thereof after the Restoration will, in all material respects, be in compliance with and permitted under all applicable Legal Requirements (including as a legal non-conforming use);
(G) the Restoration shall be done and completed by Borrower or Operating Lessee in an expeditious and diligent fashion and in compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements;
(H) such Casualty or Condemnation, as applicable, does not result in the loss of access to the Property or the related Improvements;
(I) the Debt Yield immediately prior to such Casualty or Condemnation was equal to or greater than seven percent (7%);
(J) Borrower shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Lender a signed detailed budget approved in writing by Borrower’s or Operating Lessee’s architect or engineer stating the entire cost of completing the Restoration, which budget shall be reasonably approved by Lender in the same manner as each Annual Budget is to be approved by Lender during the continuance of a Cash Trap Period; and
-129-
(K) the Net Proceeds together with any cash or cash equivalent deposited by Borrower and/or Operating Lessee with Lender are sufficient in Lender’s reasonable discretion to cover the cost of the Restoration.
(ii) The Net Proceeds shall be held by Lender in an interest bearing Eligible Account and, until disbursed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4(b), shall constitute additional security for the Debt and Other Obligations under the Loan Documents. The Net Proceeds shall be disbursed by Lender to, or as directed by, Borrower or Operating Lessee from time to time during the course of the Restoration, upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to Lender that (A) all materials installed and work and labor performed (except to the extent that they are to be paid for out of the requested disbursement) in connection with the Restoration have been paid for in full, and (B) there exist no notices of pendency, stop orders, mechanic’s or materialman’s liens or notices of intention to file same, or any other liens or encumbrances of any nature whatsoever on the Property which have not either been fully bonded to the satisfaction of Lender and discharged of record or in the alternative fully insured to the satisfaction of Lender by the title company issuing the Title Insurance Policy.
(iii) All plans and specifications required in connection with the Restoration shall be subject to prior review and acceptance in all respects by Lender and by an independent consulting engineer selected by Lender (the “Casualty Consultant”). Lender shall have the use of the plans and specifications and all permits, licenses and approvals required or obtained in connection with the Restoration. The identity of the contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration, as well as the contracts under which they have been engaged, shall be subject to prior review and reasonable acceptance by Lender and the Casualty Consultant. All reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with making the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration including, without limitation, reasonable counsel fees and disbursements and the Casualty Consultant’s fees, shall be paid by Borrower. Lender shall grant or deny with a reasonable explanation any consent required hereunder within fourteen (14) days after the receipt of the applicable request and all documents in connection therewith. In the event that Lender fails to respond within said fourteen (14) day period, such failure shall be deemed to be the consent and approval of Lender if (A) Borrower has delivered to Lender the applicable documents, with the notation “IMMEDIATE RESPONSE REQUIRED, FAILURE TO RESPOND TO THIS APPROVAL REQUEST WITHIN FOURTEEN (14) DAYS FROM RECEIPT SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE LENDER’S APPROVAL” prominently displayed in bold, all caps and fourteen (14) point or larger font in the transmittal letter requesting approval and (B) Lender does not approve or reject (with a reasonable explanation) the applicable request within fourteen (14) days from the date Lender receives such request as evidenced by a certified mail return receipt or confirmation by a reputable national overnight delivery service that the same has been delivered to Borrower.
(iv) In no event shall Lender be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds in excess of an amount equal to the costs actually incurred from time to time for
-130-
work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, minus the Casualty Retainage. The term “Casualty Retainage” shall mean an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the costs actually incurred for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, until the Restoration has been completed. The Casualty Retainage shall in no event, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above in this Section 6.4(b), be less than the amount actually held back by Borrower or Operating Lessee from contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration. The Casualty Retainage shall not be released until the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4(b) and that all approvals necessary for the re-occupancy and use of the Property have been obtained from all appropriate governmental and quasi-governmental authorities, and Lender receives evidence satisfactory to Lender that the costs of the Restoration have been paid in full or will be paid in full out of the Casualty Retainage; provided, however, that Lender will release the portion of the Casualty Retainage being held with respect to any contractor, subcontractor or materialman engaged in the Restoration as of the date upon which the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the contractor, subcontractor or materialman has satisfactorily completed all work and has supplied all materials in accordance with the provisions of the contractor’s, subcontractor’s or materialman’s contract, the contractor, subcontractor or materialman delivers the lien waivers and evidence of payment in full of all sums due to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman as may be reasonably requested by Lender or by the title company issuing the Title Insurance Policy, and Lender receives an endorsement to the Title Insurance Policy insuring the continued priority of the lien of the Mortgage and evidence of payment of any premium payable for such endorsement. If required by Lender, the release of any such portion of the Casualty Retainage shall be approved by the surety company, if any, which has issued a payment or performance bond with respect to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman.
(v) Lender shall not be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds more frequently than once every calendar month.
(vi) If at any time the Net Proceeds or the undisbursed balance thereof shall not, in the opinion of Lender in consultation with the Casualty Consultant, be sufficient to pay in full the balance of the costs which are estimated by the Casualty Consultant to be incurred in connection with the completion of the Restoration, Borrower or Operating Lessee shall (A) deposit the deficiency (the “Net Proceeds Deficiency”) with Lender or (B) deliver a Letter of Credit reasonably satisfactory to Lender in an amount equal to the Net Proceeds Deficiency before any further disbursement of the Net Proceeds shall be made. The Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender shall be held by Lender and shall be disbursed for costs actually incurred in connection with the Restoration on the same conditions applicable to the disbursement of the Net Proceeds, and until so disbursed pursuant to this Section 6.4(b) shall constitute additional security for the Debt and Other Obligations under the Loan Documents.
(vii) The excess, if any, of the Net Proceeds (and the remaining balance, if any, of the Net Proceeds Deficiency) deposited with Lender after the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the
-131-
provisions of this Section 6.4(b), and the receipt by Lender of evidence satisfactory to Lender that all costs incurred in connection with the Restoration have been paid in full, shall be remitted by Lender to Borrower, provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and shall be continuing under the Note, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.
(c) Lender shall, with reasonable promptness following any Casualty or Condemnation, notify Borrower whether or not Net Proceeds are required to be made available to Borrower or Operating Lessee for a Restoration pursuant to this Section 6.4 (or, if the same are not required to be made available to Borrower or Operating Lessee for Restoration pursuant to this Section 6.4, whether Lender will nevertheless make the same available, which election Lender may make in its sole and absolute discretion). All Net Proceeds not required (i) to be made available for the Restoration or (ii) to be returned to Borrower as excess Net Proceeds pursuant to Section 6.4(b)(vii) hereof may be retained and applied by Lender toward the payment of the Debt in accordance with Section 2.4.2 hereof, whether or not then due and payable in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall deem proper, or, at the discretion of Lender, the same may be paid, either in whole or in part, to Borrower for such purposes as Lender shall approve, in its discretion.
(d) In the event of foreclosure of the Mortgage or other transfer of title of the Property in extinguishment in whole or in part of the Debt all right, title and interest of Borrower or Operating Lessee in and to the Policies that are not blanket Policies then in force concerning the Property and all proceeds payable thereunder shall thereupon vest in the purchaser at such foreclosure or Lender or other transferee in the event of such other transfer of title.
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Loan Documents (except Section 6.3(b) of this Agreement) with respect to the disbursement of Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds in respect of the Ground Lease, the express provisions set forth in the Ground Lease shall govern; provided, however, to the extent the compliance by Borrower with the terms and conditions of this Section 6.4 do not create a default under the terms and provisions of the Ground Lease, Borrower shall comply with the terms and provisions of this Section 6.4 and, provided, further, that Borrower shall not grant its consent, approval or waiver with respect to any disbursement of Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds in respect of the Ground Lease Property (if such disbursement would violate the terms and provisions of this Section 6.4) as may be requested or required in connection with the terms and provisions of the Ground Lease without first obtaining the written consent, approval, or waiver of Lender.

Section 7.1 Intentionally Omitted.
Section 7.2 Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds.
(a) To the extent Taxes, Other Charges and/or Insurance Premiums are not reserved for in a Manager Account maintained by Manager pursuant to the Management Agreement or previously paid by Manager pursuant to the Management Agreement (provided, that to the extent so reserved or paid, Borrower delivers to Lender the invoices and other evidence of payment required under Section 5.1.2 and Section 6.1 hereof in which case the required deposit will be reduced on a dollar-for-dollar basis by such amount), Borrower shall pay to Lender, on each Payment Date during a Cash Trap Period, (i) in any case in which Taxes and Other Charges are not so reserved or paid by the Manager, one twelfth (1/12) of the Taxes and Other Charges that Lender reasonably estimates will be payable during the next ensuing twelve (12) months in order to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Taxes and Other Charges at least thirty (30) days prior to the dates upon which such payments are required to be made and/or (ii) in any case in which Insurance Premiums are not so reserved or paid by the Manager, one twelfth (1/12) of the Insurance Premiums that Lender estimates will be payable for the renewal of the coverage afforded by the Policies upon the expiration thereof in order to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Insurance Premiums at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Policies (said amounts in clauses (i) and (ii) above hereinafter called the “Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds”). The account in which the Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds are held shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Tax and Insurance Reserve Account”. Lender will apply the Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds to payments of Taxes and Other Charges and Insurance Premiums required to be made by Borrower and/or Operating Lessee pursuant to Section 5.1.2 or Section 6.1 hereof (as applicable) and under the Mortgage. In making any payment relating to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds, Lender may do so according to any xxxx, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office (with respect to Taxes and Other Charges) or insurer or agent (with respect to Insurance Premiums), without inquiry into the accuracy of such xxxx, statement or estimate or into the validity of any tax, assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim thereof. Provided that sufficient amounts are on deposit in the Tax and Insurance Escrow Account, Lender shall, upon Borrower’s written request, reimburse Borrower or Operating Lessee (as applicable) from amounts on deposit in the Tax and Insurance Escrow Account for all real property Taxes, Other Charges and Insurance Premiums actually paid by Borrower or Operating Lessee. As a precondition to any such reimbursement, Borrower shall submit to Lender an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the amount of tax payments made and jurisdictions in which such payments were made (if applicable) and upon the written request of Lender receipts for payment or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that such real, property Taxes, Other Charges and Insurance Premiums have been paid. If the amount of the Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds shall exceed the amounts due for Taxes, Other Charges and Insurance Premiums pursuant to Section 5.1.2 hereof, Lender shall, in its sole discretion, return any excess to Borrower or credit such excess against future payments to be made to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds. If at any time Lender reasonably determines that the Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds are not or will

not be sufficient to pay Taxes, Other Charges and Insurance Premiums by the dates set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) above, Lender shall provide written notice to Borrower of such determination and Borrower shall, commencing with the first Payment Date following Borrower’s receipt of such written notice, increase its monthly payments to Lender by the amount that Lender estimates is sufficient to make up the deficiency at least thirty (30) days prior to the due date of the Taxes and Other Charges and/or thirty (30) days prior to expiration of the Policies, as the case may be. Any amounts remaining in the Tax and Insurance Escrow Account after the Debt has been paid in full or the Loan has been defeased shall be promptly returned to Borrower.
(b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to the extent that any of the insurance required to be maintained by Borrower or Operating Lessee under this Agreement and/or any other Loan Document is effected under a blanket policy reasonably acceptable to Lender insuring substantially all of the real property owned, directly or indirectly, by Guarantor, Borrower shall not be required to make deposits pursuant to the foregoing with respect to Insurance Premiums.
Section 7.3 Replacements and Replacement Reserve.
7.3.1 Replacement Reserve Funds. Borrower shall pay to Lender on each Payment Date an amount equal to the Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposit to fund the cost of Replacements; provided, however, that Replacements shall not include expense items that otherwise would be expensed in the operating statements of the Property pursuant to the Uniform System of Accounts and provided, further, that, for so long as Borrower and Operating Lessee maintain the Property in accordance with the Management Agreement, the Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposit shall be reduced on a dollar-for-dollar basis by any amounts either (x) deposited into the FF&E Account for the applicable calendar month as set forth in the Annual Budget and required pursuant to the terms of the Management Agreement if Borrower delivers evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that such deposit has been made or (y) otherwise accounted for pursuant to the Working Capital Peg Balance held in either Operating Account if Borrower delivers evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that the Working Capital Peg Balance sufficiently cover such amounts. Amounts so deposited shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Replacement Reserve Funds” and the account in which such amounts are held shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrower’s “Replacement Reserve Account”.
7.3.2 Disbursements from Replacement Reserve Account. (a) Lender shall make disbursements from the Replacement Reserve Account to pay Borrower or Operating Lessee only for the costs of the Replacements upon satisfaction of the requirements set forth in this Section 7.3.2.
(b) Lender shall disburse to Borrower or Operating Lessee the Replacement Reserve Funds from the Replacement Reserve Account from time to time upon satisfaction by Borrower or Operating Lessee of each of the following conditions: (i) Borrower or Operating Lessee shall submit a written request for payment to Lender at least five (5) days prior to the date on which Borrower requests such payment be made and specifies the Replacements to be paid, (ii) on the date such payment is to be made, no Event of Default shall exist and remain uncured and (iii) Lender shall have received an Officer’s Certificate: (A) stating that, to Borrower’s knowledge, all Replacements to be funded by the requested disbursement have been performed
-134-
in good and workmanlike manner and in accordance with all applicable federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations, in all material respects, (B) identifying each Person that supplied materials or labor in connection with such Replacements to be funded by the requested disbursement, and (C) stating that each such Person has been paid or will be paid the amounts then due and payable to such Person in connection with the Replacements with the proceeds of such disbursement, such Officer’s Certificate to be accompanied by lien waivers or other evidence of payment satisfactory to Lender. Lender shall not be required to make disbursements from the Replacement Reserve Account with respect to the Property unless such requested disbursement is in an amount greater than Twenty-Five Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($25,000.00) (or a lesser amount if the total amount in the Replacement Reserve Account is less than $25,000.00), in which case only one disbursement of the amount remaining in the account shall be made) and such disbursement shall be made only upon satisfaction of each condition contained in this Section 7.3.2. Subject to Section 7.3.2(c) below, in no event shall Lender be obligated to disburse funds to Borrower or Operating Lessee from the Replacement Reserve Account if an Event of Default exists.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, except during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall make disbursements from the Replacement Reserve Account at the request of Manager upon receipt of a certificate (i) setting forth the amount of the requested disbursement, (ii) certifying that the requested disbursement will be used for the costs of FF&E as required by, and provided in the Management Agreement and (iii) certifying that the amounts being requested are in accordance with the budget provided under the Management Agreement, subject to variances permitted thereby.
7.3.3 Performance of Replacements. (a) Borrower or Operating Lessee shall make Replacements to the Property when required in order to keep the Property in good condition and repair and to keep the Property or any portion thereof from deteriorating consistent with the requirements of the Management Agreement. Borrower or Operating Lessee shall complete all Replacements to the Property in a good and workmanlike manner as soon as practicable following the commencement of making each such Replacement.
(b) During a Cash Trap Period, Lender reserves the right, at its option, to approve all contracts or work orders for amounts in excess of One Million and No/100 Dollars ($1,000,000.00) (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) with materialmen, mechanics, suppliers, subcontractors, contractors or other parties providing labor or materials in connection with the Replacements. Upon Lender’s request, Borrower or Operating Lessee shall assign any contract or subcontract to Lender.
(c) During the continuance of an Event of Default, in the event Lender determines in its reasonable discretion that any Replacement is not being performed in a workmanlike or timely manner or that any Replacement has not been completed in a workmanlike or timely manner, upon three (3) Business Days written notice to Borrower, Lender shall have the option to withhold disbursement for such unsatisfactory Replacement and to proceed under existing contracts or to contract with third parties to complete such Replacement and to apply the Replacement Reserve Funds toward the labor and materials necessary to complete such Replacement and, without the requirement of providing any prior notice to Borrower, to exercise any and all other remedies available to Lender upon an Event of Default hereunder.
-135-
(d) During the continuance of an Event of Default, in order to facilitate Lender’s completion or making of such Replacements pursuant to Section 7.3.3(c) above, Borrower and Operating Lessee each grants Lender the right to enter onto the Property and perform any and all work and labor necessary to complete or make such Replacements and/or employ watchmen to protect the Property from damage (subject to the rights of Tenants and guests at the Property). All sums so expended by Lender, to the extent not from the Replacement Reserve Funds, shall be deemed to have been advanced under the Loan to Borrower and secured by the Mortgage. For this purpose each of Borrower and Operating Lessee constitutes and appoints Lender its true and lawful attorney in fact with full power of substitution to complete or undertake such Replacements in the name of Borrower or Operating Lessee. Such power of attorney shall be deemed to be a power coupled with an interest and cannot be revoked. Borrower and Operating Lessee each empowers said attorney in fact for this purpose as follows: (i) with respect to Borrower’s grant of power only, to use any funds in the Replacement Reserve Account for the purpose of making or completing such Replacements; (ii) to make such additions, changes and corrections to such Replacements as shall be necessary or desirable to complete such Replacements; (iii) to employ such contractors, subcontractors, agents, architects and inspectors as shall be required for such purposes; (iv) to pay, settle or compromise all existing bills and claims which are or may become Liens against the Property, or as may be necessary or desirable for the completion of such Replacements, or for clearance of title; (v) to execute all applications and certificates in the name of Borrower or Operating Lessee which may be reasonably required by any of the contract documents; (vi) to prosecute and defend all actions or proceedings in connection with the Property or the rehabilitation and repair of the Property; and (vii) to do any and every reasonable act which Borrower or Operating Lessee might do in its own behalf to fulfill the terms of this Agreement.
(e) Nothing in this Section 7.3.3 shall: (i) make Lender responsible for making or completing any Replacements; (ii) require Lender to expend funds in addition to the Replacement Reserve Funds to make or complete any Replacement; (iii) obligate Lender to proceed with any Replacements; or (iv) obligate Lender to demand from Borrower or Operating Lessee additional sums to make or complete any Replacement.
(f) If reasonably determined to be necessary, Borrower and Operating Lessee shall permit Lender and Lender’s agents and representatives (including, without limitation, Lender’s engineer, architect, or inspector) or third parties making Replacements pursuant to this Section 7.3.3 to enter onto the Property during normal business hours (subject to the rights of Tenants under their Leases) to inspect the progress of any Replacements and all materials being used in connection therewith, to examine all plans and shop drawings relating to such Replacements which are or may be kept at the Property, and, during the continuance of an Event of Default, to complete any Replacements made pursuant to this Section 7.3.3. Borrower and Operating Lessee shall cause all contractors and subcontractors to cooperate with Lender or Lender’s representatives or such other persons described above in connection with inspections described in this Section 7.3.3(f) or the completion of Replacements pursuant to this Section 7.3.3 with respect to the Property.
-136-
(g) During a Cash Trap Period, in connection with any single Replacement in excess of One Million and No/100 Dollars ($1,000,000.00), Lender may require an inspection of the Property at Borrower’s expense prior to making a monthly disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account in order to verify completion of the Replacements for which reimbursement is sought (or portion thereof in the case of periodic payments). Lender may require that such inspection be conducted by an appropriate independent qualified professional selected by Lender and reasonably approved by Borrower and/or may require a copy of a certificate of completion by an independent qualified professional reasonably acceptable to Lender prior to the disbursement of any amounts from the Replacement Reserve Account. Borrower shall pay the actual out-of-pocket expense of the inspection as required hereunder, whether such inspection is conducted by Lender or by an independent qualified professional.
(h) The Replacements and all materials, equipment, fixtures, or any other item comprising a part of any Replacement shall be constructed, installed or completed, as applicable, free and clear of all mechanic’s, materialmen’s or other Liens (except for Permitted Encumbrances).
(i) All Replacements shall comply in all material respects with all applicable Legal Requirements of all Governmental Authorities having jurisdiction over the Property and applicable insurance requirements including, without limitation, applicable building codes, special use permits, environmental regulations, and requirements of insurance underwriters.
(j) In addition to any insurance required under the Loan Documents, Borrower and Operating Lessee shall provide or cause to be provided workmen’s compensation insurance, builder’s risk, and public liability insurance and other insurance to the extent required under applicable law in connection with a particular Replacement at the Property. All such policies shall be in form and amount reasonably satisfactory to Lender. All such policies which can be endorsed with standard mortgagee clauses making loss payable to Lender or its assigns shall be so endorsed. Certified copies of such policies shall be delivered to Lender.
7.3.4 Failure to Make Replacements. (a) It shall be an Event of Default under this Agreement if Borrower or Operating Lessee fails to comply with any provision of this Section 7.3 and such failure is not cured within thirty (30) days after Borrower’s receipt of written notice from Lender. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of such an Event of Default, Lender may use the Replacement Reserve Funds (or any portion thereof) for any purpose, including but not limited to complete the Replacements as provided in Section 7.3.3, or for any other repair or replacement to the Property or toward payment of the Debt in such order, proportion and priority as Lender may determine in its sole discretion. Lender’s right to withdraw and apply the Replacement Reserve Funds shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies provided to Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
(b) Nothing in this Agreement shall obligate Lender to apply all or any portion of the Replacement Reserve Fund on account of an Event of Default to payment of the Debt or in any specific order or priority.
7.3.5 Balance in the Replacement Reserve Account. The insufficiency of any balance in the Replacement Reserve Account shall not relieve Borrower from its obligation to
-137-
fulfill all preservation and maintenance covenants in the Loan Documents. Any amount remaining in the Replacement Reserve Account after the Debt has been paid in full or the Loan has been defeased shall be returned to Borrower.
Section 7.4 Intentionally Omitted.
Section 7.5 Excess Cash Flow Reserve Accounts. During a Cash Trap Period, (i) all Excess Cash Flow on deposit in the Borrower Cash Management Account shall be transferred to an account (the “Borrower Excess Cash Flow Reserve Account” and amounts so held shall be hereinafter referred to as the “Borrower Excess Cash Flow Reserve Funds”) and (ii) all Excess Cash Flow on deposit in the Operating Lessee Cash Management Account shall be transferred to an account (the “Operating Lessee Excess Cash Flow Reserve Account” and, collectively with the Borrower Excess Cash Flow Reserve Account, the “Excess Cash Flow Reserve Accounts”; the amounts so held in the Operating Lessee Excess Cash Flow Reserve Account shall be hereinafter referred to as the “Operating Lessee Excess Cash Flow Reserve Funds” and, collectively with the Borrower Excess Cash Flow Reserve Funds, the “Excess Cash Flow Reserve Funds”), in each case, in accordance with Section 2.6.2(e) to be held by Lender as additional security for the Loan.
7.5.1 Release of Excess Cash Flow Reserve Funds. (a) During a Debt Yield Trigger Period, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, upon written request of Borrower or Operating Lessee (as applicable), Lender shall disburse within five (5) Business Days of Borrower’s or Operating Lessee’s request and no more frequently than bimonthly, (1) prior to the consummation of the Restructuring, Borrower Excess Cash Flow Reserve Funds, and (2) from and after the consummation of the Restructuring, Operating Lessee Excess Cash Flow Reserve Funds for (i) payment of any Operating Expenses (including management fees and other fees, charges or costs, payable to Manager or, prior to an R&A Manager Event, R&A Sub-Manager under the Management Agreement, (ii) emergency repairs and/or life safety issues (including any Capital Expenditures) at the Property, (iii) Capital Expenditures set forth in the Approved Annual Budget or otherwise reasonably approved by Lender (after application of amounts then on deposit in the Replacement Reserve), (iv) Hotel Taxes and Custodial Funds, (v) subject to Lender’s approval, payment of the cost of Replacements not otherwise paid for under Section 7.3 hereof, (vi) [reserved], (vii) any fees and costs payable by Borrower subject to and in compliance with the Loan Documents (including the payment of any Yield Maintenance Premium), (viii) voluntary prepayment of the Loan in accordance with Section 2.4.1 hereof, or (ix) legal fees arising in connection with the Property or Borrower’s or Operating Lessee’s ownership or leasing (as applicable) and operation of the Property; provided, that Excess Cash Flow shall not be used for legal fees in connection with (A) the enforcement of Borrower’s or Operating Lessee’s rights under the Loan Documents or (B) any defense of any enforcement by Lender of its rights under the Loan Documents, (x) audit, accounting and tax expenses arising in connection with the Property or Borrower’s or Operating Lessee’s ownership or leasing (as applicable) and operation thereof, (xi) payment of shortfalls in the payment of Debt Service and any other amounts due and owing to Lender under the Loan Documents, (xii) payments under the Ground Lease, (xiii) costs associated with existing Leases or any new Leases entered into pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including costs related to tenant improvement allowances, leasing commissions and Tenant-related Capital Expenditures (after application of amounts then on deposit in the Replacement Reserve Account), (xiv)

Section 7.10 Reserve Funds, Generally. Each of Borrower and/or Operating Lessee (as applicable) grants to Lender a first priority perfected security interest in each of the Reserve Accounts and any and all monies now or hereafter deposited in each Reserve Account as additional security for payment of the Debt. Until expended or applied in accordance herewith, the Reserve Funds shall constitute additional security for the Debt. Subject to Priority Waterfall Payments and payments made to Manager or any R&A Sub-Manager pursuant to Section 7.3.2(c) hereof, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies available to Lender, apply any sums then present in any or all of the Reserve Accounts to the payment of the Debt in any order in its sole discretion. The Reserve Funds shall not constitute trust funds and may be commingled with other monies held by Lender. The Reserve Funds shall be held in an Eligible Account in Permitted Investments in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Cash Management Agreement. All interest or other earnings on the Reserve Funds shall be added to and become a part of such Reserve Funds and shall be disbursed or applied, as applicable, in the same manner as other monies deposited in the related Reserve Account. Borrower shall be responsible for payment of any federal, state or local income or other tax applicable to the interest earned on the Reserve Funds credited or paid to Borrower. Neither Borrower nor Operating Lessee shall, without obtaining the prior written consent of Lender, further pledge, assign or grant any security interest in any Reserve Account or the monies deposited therein or permit any lien or encumbrance to attach thereto, or any levy to be made thereon, or any UCC-1 Financing Statements, except those naming Lender as the secured party, to be filed with respect thereto.
-139-
Lender shall not be liable for any loss sustained on the investment of any funds constituting the Reserve Funds, provided such Reserve Funds are held in an Eligible Account in Permitted Investments in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Cash Management Agreement. Borrower shall indemnify Lender and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all actions, suits, claims, demands, liabilities, losses, damages, obligations and costs and expenses (including litigation costs and reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses) arising from or in any way connected with the Reserve Accounts or the performance of the obligations for which the Reserve Accounts were established. Each of Borrower and Operating Lessee shall assign to Lender all rights and claims that it may have against all persons or entities supplying labor, materials or other services which are to be paid from or secured by the applicable Reserve Funds; provided, however, that Lender may not pursue any such right or claim unless an Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured. Any amount remaining in the Reserve Accounts after the Debt has been paid in full or the Loan has been defeased shall be returned to Borrower.

-142-
(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in clauses (vi), (vii) or (viii) above) and at any time thereafter, in addition to any other rights or remedies available to it pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or at law or in equity, Lender may take such action, without notice or demand, that Lender deems advisable to protect and enforce its rights against Borrower or Operating Lessee and in and to the Property or any portion thereof, including, without limitation, declaring the Debt to be immediately due and payable, and Lender may enforce or avail itself of any or all rights or remedies provided in the Loan Documents against Borrower and any or all of portions of the Property, including, without limitation, all rights or remedies available at law or in equity; and upon any Event of Default described in clauses (vi), (vii) or (viii) above, the Debt and Other Obligations of Borrower or Operating Lessee hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall immediately and automatically become due and payable, without notice or demand, and Borrower and Operating Lessee hereby expressly waive any such notice or demand, anything contained herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding.
Section 8.2 Remedies. (a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all or any one or more of the rights, powers, privileges and other remedies available to Lender against Borrower or Operating Lessee under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents executed and delivered by, or applicable to, Borrower or Operating Lessee or at law or in equity may be exercised by Lender at any time and from time to time, whether or not all or any of the Debt shall be declared due and payable, and whether or not Lender shall have commenced any foreclosure proceeding or other action for the enforcement of its rights and remedies under any of the Loan Documents with respect to the Property or any portion thereof. Any such actions taken by Lender shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singularly, successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in its sole discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender permitted by law, equity or contract or as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower and Operating Lessee agree that if an Event of Default is continuing (i) Lender is not subject to any “one action” or “election of remedies” law or rule, and (ii) all liens and other rights, remedies or privileges provided to Lender shall remain in full force and effect until Lender has exhausted all of its remedies against the Property and the Mortgage has been foreclosed, sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Debt or the Debt has been paid in full, including without limitation, any liquidation fees, workout fees, special servicing fees and interest payable on advances made by the Servicer with respect to delinquent debt service payments or expenses of curing Borrower’s or Operating Lessee’s defaults under the Loan Documents or other similar fees payable to Servicer or any special servicer in connection therewith.
(b) With respect to Borrower, Operating Lessee and the Property, nothing contained herein or in any other Loan Document shall be construed as requiring Lender to resort to any portion of the Property for the satisfaction of any of the Debt in any preference or priority to any other portion thereof, and Lender may seek satisfaction out of all or any portions of the Property, in its absolute discretion in respect of the Debt. In addition, to the extent permitted by applicable law, Lender shall have the right from time to time to partially foreclose the Mortgage in any manner and for any amounts secured by the Mortgage then due and payable as determined
-143-
by Lender in its sole discretion including, without limitation, the following circumstances: (i) in the event an Event of Default occurs in respect of the payment of one or more scheduled payments of interest, Lender may foreclose the Mortgage to recover such delinquent payments or (ii) in the event Lender elects to accelerate less than the entire outstanding principal balance of the Loan, Lender may partially foreclose the Mortgage to recover so much of the principal balance of the Loan as Lender may accelerate and such other sums secured by the Mortgage as Lender may elect. Notwithstanding one or more such partial foreclosures, the Property shall remain subject to the Mortgage to secure payment of sums secured by the Mortgage and not previously recovered.
(c) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right from time to time to sever the Note and the other Loan Documents into one or more separate notes, mortgages and other security documents in a manner consistent with Section 9.1.2 hereof (the “Severed Loan Documents”) in such denominations as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion for purposes of evidencing and enforcing its rights and remedies provided hereunder. Borrower and Operating Lessee shall execute and deliver to Lender from time to time, promptly after the request of Lender, a severance agreement and such other documents as Lender shall request in order to effect the severance described in the preceding sentence, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender. Borrower and Operating Lessee hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoint Lender as its respective true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in its name and stead to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect the aforesaid severance, Borrower and Operating Lessee ratifying all that its said attorney shall do by virtue thereof; provided, however, Lender shall not make or execute any such documents under such power until three (3) days after written notice has been given to Borrower or Operating Lessee by Lender of Lender’s intent to exercise its rights under such power. Borrower shall be obligated to pay any costs or expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, execution, recording or filing of the Severed Loan Documents and the Severed Loan Documents shall not contain any representations, warranties or covenants not contained in the Loan Documents and any such representations and warranties contained in the Severed Loan Documents will be given by Borrower and Operating Lessee only as of the Closing Date.
(d) As used in this Section 8.2, a “foreclosure” shall include, without limitation, any sale by power of sale.
Section 8.3 Remedies Cumulative; Waivers. The rights, powers and remedies of Lender under this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which Lender may have against Borrower or Operating Lessee pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or existing at law or in equity or otherwise. Lender’s rights, powers and remedies may be pursued singularly, concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in Lender’s sole discretion. No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of Default shall impair any such remedy, right or power or shall be construed as a waiver thereof, but any such remedy, right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. A waiver of one Default or Event of Default with respect to Borrower or Operating Lessee shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default by Borrower or Operating Lessee or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon.

This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which Borrower may otherwise have. Moreover, the indemnification and reimbursement obligations provided for in clauses (B) and (C) above shall be effective, valid and binding obligations of Indemnifying Persons, whether or not an indemnification agreement described in clause (A) above is provided.
(c) In connection with Exchange Act Filings, the Indemnifying Persons jointly and severally agree to indemnify (i) the Indemnified Persons for Liabilities to which any such Indemnified Person may become subject insofar as the Liabilities arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact in the Covered Disclosure Information, or the omission or alleged omission to state in the Covered Disclosure Information a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements in the Covered Disclosure Information, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and (ii) reimburse each Indemnified Person for any legal or other expenses incurred by such Indemnified Persons, as they are incurred, in connection with defending or investigating the Liabilities.
(d) Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person of notice of any claim or the commencement of any action, the Indemnified Person shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any Indemnifying Person, notify such Indemnifying Person in writing of the claim or the commencement of that action; provided, however, that the failure to notify such
-148-
Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have under the indemnification provisions of this Section 9.2 except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced by such failure and, provided, further, that the failure to notify such Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to an Indemnified Person otherwise than under the provisions of this Section 9.2. If any such claim or action shall be brought against an Indemnified Person, and it shall notify any Indemnifying Person thereof, such Indemnifying Person shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it wishes, assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person. After notice from any Indemnifying Person to the Indemnified Person of its election to assume the defense of such claim or action, such Indemnifying Person shall not be liable to the Indemnified Person for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Person in connection with the defense thereof except as provided in the following sentence; provided, however, if the defendants in any such action include both an Indemnifying Person, on the one hand, and one or more Indemnified Persons on the other hand, and an Indemnified Person shall have reasonably concluded that there are any legal defenses available to it and/or other Indemnified Persons that are different or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Person, the Indemnified Person or Persons shall have the right to select separate counsel to assert such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such Indemnified Person or Persons. The Indemnified Person shall instruct its counsel to maintain reasonably detailed billing records for fees and disbursements for which such Indemnified Person is seeking reimbursement hereunder and shall submit copies of such detailed billing records to substantiate that such counsel’s fees and disbursements are solely related to the defense of a claim for which the Indemnifying Person is required hereunder to indemnify such Indemnified Person. No Indemnifying Person shall be liable for the expenses of more than one (1) such separate counsel unless such Indemnified Person shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those available to another Indemnified Person.
(e) Without the prior written consent of Lender or its designee (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), no Indemnifying Person shall settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder (whether or not any Indemnified Person is an actual or potential party to such claim, action, suit or proceeding) unless the Indemnifying Person shall have given Lender or its designee reasonable prior written notice thereof and shall have obtained an unconditional release of each Indemnified Person hereunder from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceedings. As long as an Indemnifying Person has complied with its obligations to defend and indemnify hereunder, such Indemnifying Person shall not be liable for any settlement made by any Indemnified Person without the consent of such Indemnifying Person (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
(f) The Indemnifying Persons agree that if any indemnification or reimbursement sought pursuant to this Section 9.2 is finally judicially determined to be unavailable for any reason or is insufficient to hold any Indemnified Person harmless (with respect only to the Liabilities that are the subject of this Section 9.2), then the Indemnifying Persons, on the one hand, and such Indemnified Person, on the other hand, shall contribute to the Liabilities for which such indemnification or reimbursement is held unavailable or is insufficient:
-149-
(x) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits to the Indemnifying Persons, on the one hand, and such Indemnified Person, on the other hand, from the transactions to which such indemnification or reimbursement relates; or (y) if the allocation provided by clause (x) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (x) but also the relative faults of the Indemnifying Persons, on the one hand, and all Indemnified Persons, on the other hand, as well as any other equitable considerations. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 9.2, (A) no party found liable for a fraudulent misrepresentation shall be entitled to contribution from any other party who is not also found liable for such fraudulent misrepresentation, and (B) the Indemnifying Persons agree that in no event shall the amount to be contributed by the Indemnified Persons collectively pursuant to this paragraph exceed the amount of the fees actually received by the Indemnified Persons in connection with the closing of the Loan and Securitization.
(g) The Indemnifying Persons agree that the indemnification, contribution and reimbursement obligations set forth in this Section 9.2 shall apply whether or not any Indemnified Person is a formal party to any lawsuits, claims or other proceedings. The Indemnifying Persons further agree that the Indemnified Persons are intended third party beneficiaries under this Section 9.2.
(h) The liabilities and obligations of the Indemnified Persons and the Indemnifying Persons under this Section 9.2 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the satisfaction and discharge of the Debt.
(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Borrower shall have no obligation to act as depositor with respect to the Loan or an issuer or registrant with respect to the Securities issued in any Securitization.
Section 9.3 Exculpation. (a) Subject to the qualifications set forth in this Section 9.3, Lender shall not enforce the liability and obligation of Borrower or Operating Lessee to perform and observe its respective obligations contained in the Note (as to Borrower), this Agreement or any other Loan Document to which it is a party by any action or proceeding wherein a money judgment shall be sought against Borrower or Operating Lessee, except that Lender may bring a foreclosure action, an action for specific performance or any other appropriate action or proceeding to enable Lender to enforce and realize upon its interest under the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, or in the Property, the Rents, or any other collateral given to Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents; provided, however, that, except as specifically provided herein, any judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be enforceable against Borrower or Operating Lessee only to the extent of Borrower’s or Operating Lessee’s interest in the Property, in the Rents and in any other collateral given to Lender, and Lender, by accepting the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, agrees that it shall not xxx for, seek or demand any deficiency judgment against Borrower or Operating Lessee in any such action or proceeding under or by reason of or under or in connection with the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage or the other Loan Documents. The provisions of this Section shall not, however, (i) constitute a waiver, release or impairment of any obligation evidenced or secured by any of the Loan Documents; (ii) impair the right of Lender to name Borrower or Operating Lessee as a party defendant in any action or
-150-
suit for foreclosure and sale under the Mortgage; (iii) affect the validity or enforceability of or any guaranty made in connection with the Loan or any of the rights and remedies of Lender thereunder; (iv) impair the right of Lender to obtain the appointment of a receiver; (v) impair the enforcement of any assignment of leases contained in the Mortgage; or (vi) constitute a prohibition against Lender to seek a deficiency judgment against Borrower in order to fully realize the security granted by the Mortgage or to commence any other appropriate action or proceeding in order for Lender to exercise its remedies against the Property.
(b) Nothing contained herein shall in any manner or way release, affect or impair the right of Lender to enforce the liability and obligation of Borrower or Operating Lessee, by money judgment or otherwise, to the extent of any loss, damage, cost, expense, liability, claim or other obligation to the extent actually incurred by Lender (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs reasonably incurred) arising out of or incurred in connection with the following actions or omissions on the part of Guarantor, Borrower, Operating Lessee, any Affiliated Manager or any Affiliate of Guarantor, Borrower, Operating Lessee or any Affiliated Manager:

Section 9.7 Register. (a) The Servicer, or if no Servicer has been engaged, Lender, as non-fiduciary agent of Borrower, shall maintain a record that identifies each owner (including successors and assignees) of an interest in the Loan, including the name and address of the owner, and each owner’s rights to principal and stated interest (the “Register”), and shall record all transfers of an interest in the Loan, including each assignment, in the Register. Transfers of interests in the Loan (including assignments) shall be subject to the applicable conditions set forth in the Loan Documents with respect thereto and Servicer will update the Register to reflect the transfer. Furthermore, each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as agent of Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts and stated interest of each participant’s interest (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the U.S. Department of Treasury regulations. The entries in the Register and Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Borrower, the Lenders and the Servicer shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, and Borrower, the Lenders and the Servicer shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register pursuant to the terms hereof as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement. Failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, however, shall not affect Borrower’s obligations in respect of the Loan. Borrower and Lender acknowledge that the Notes are in registered form and may not be transferred except by register.
(b) Borrower agrees that each participant pursuant to Section 9.1.1(a) shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.7 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.7(e) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.7(e) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment; provided that such participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 2.7(h) as if it were an assignee hereunder; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.7, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a change in a requirement of law or in the interpretation or application thereof, or compliance by such participant or the participating Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) issued from any central bank or other Governmental Authority, in each case after the participant acquired the applicable participation.

To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, defend and hold harmless set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it violates any law or public policy, Borrower shall pay the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by the Indemnified Parties.

Ground Lease Exceptions
1. | The following exceptions hereby exist to the representations and warranties set forth in Section 4.1.39(d): |
Although the Ground Lease does not permit an assignment to Lender without consent, the Ground Lease Estoppel and Agreement, dated October 2, 2016 (the “Estoppel”), executed by Ground Lessor provides that Lender (and anyone whose title derives directly or indirectly from Lender or mortgagee, including a purchaser at any foreclosure sale or assignment in lieu of foreclosure) may, without Ground Lessor’s consent, acquire Borrower’s interest in the Ground Lease/Ground Leased Property through foreclosure or assignment in lieu of foreclosure and may transfer and assign the Ground Lease/Ground Leased Property and that the resulting tenant (and its assignees) shall thereafter be bound by all applicable terms of the Ground Lease (see Section 3(a) of the Estoppel for a complete description).
From and after the date that Lender (or anyone whose title derives directly or indirectly from Lender or mortgagee, including a purchaser at any foreclosure sale or assignment in lieu of foreclosure) acquires Borrower’s interest in the Ground Lease, Lender or such transferee shall be required to obtain the Ground Lessor’s consent to assign (see Section 6 of the Ground Lease).
2. | The following exceptions hereby exist to the representations and warranties set forth in Section 4.1.39(f): |
Insurance proceeds are disbursed to Mortgagee, to rebuild, provided that, if the damage occurs in the last ten years of the term (and if the proceeds are not sufficient to rebuild), Borrower has the right to cancel the Ground Lease (see Section 9 of the Ground Lease for a complete description). The Ground Lease is silent on whether Borrower can deliver insurance proceeds to a lender.
Condemnation proceeds that are attributable to the value of the building (as opposed to the land) shall be delivered by the Ground Lessor to Borrower (See Section 15 of the Ground Lease for a complete description). The Ground Lease is silent about whether condemnation proceeds can be payable to a lender.
3. | The following exception hereby exists to the representations and warranties set forth in Section 4.1.39(g) and (h): |
Pursuant to the Estoppel, Landlord shall not terminate the Ground Lease for a default by Borrower until Ground Lessor has given Lender notice of such default and the right to cure (see Section 3(b) of the Estoppel for a complete description).
SCHEDULE 4.1.39-1
4. | The following exception hereby exists to the representations and warranties set forth in Section 4.1.39(i): |
The term of the Ground Lease expires on July 31, 2035, without any right to further extend the same, and such term does not, therefore, extend at least twenty years beyond the Maturity Date.
5. | The following exception hereby exists to the representations and warranties set forth in Section 4.1.39(j): |
The Ground Lease is silent as to any obligation of Ground Lessor to enter into a new lease upon termination (prior to the expiration of the term thereof) of the Ground Lease.

Information as to Grievance:
UNITE HERE Local 5 (the “Union”) filed a grievance against Borrower alleging that Borrower failed to cause a subcontractor of Borrower to observe the CBA wage-rate requirement. The Union alleges that this subcontractor paid its employees less than the applicable CBA wage-rate. The Union seeks back pay in the gross amount of $1.8MM for all allegedly adversely-affected current and former employees of subcontractor. Borrower believes that the grievance is untimely, and therefore without merit. In addition, Borrower believes that the subcontractor would be required to indemnify Borrower for any liability related to this grievance. Settlement discussions are ongoing.
