2.2.4 Additional Costs. (a) If interest is based on a LIBOR Rate, Borrower shall pay to Lender from time to time, within ten (10) days after written demand therefor by Lender, such amounts as Lender may reasonably determine to be sufficient to compensate Lender for any actual costs that Lender reasonably determines are attributable to its making or maintaining of any portion of the Loan as a LIBOR Loan or its obligation to make any portion of the Loan as a LIBOR Loan hereunder, or any reduction in any amount receivable by Lender hereunder in respect of a LIBOR Loan or such obligation (such increases in costs and reductions in amounts receivable being herein called “Additional Costs”), in each case resulting from and limited to the amounts necessary to compensate Lender for any Regulatory Change (I) which affects similarly situated banks or financial institutions generally with respect to LIBOR loans
-29-
and is not applicable to Lender primarily by reason of Lender’s particular conduct or condition and (II) which:
(i) changes the basis of taxation of any amounts payable to Lender under this Agreement or the Note (other than Excluded Taxes); or
(ii) imposes or modifies any reserve, special deposit or similar requirements relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with or other liabilities of, Lender (including, without limitation, any such deposits referred to in the definition of “LIBOR Base Rate”), or any commitment of Lender (including, without limitation, the commitment of Lender hereunder); or
(iii) imposes any other condition affecting this Agreement or the Note (or any of such extensions of credit or liabilities referred to in subdivision (ii) above).
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.2.4, Additional Costs may be imposed on Borrower by Lender only if such Additional Costs are generally being imposed by Lender on similarly situated borrowers (as reasonably determined by Lender).
(b) Without limiting the effect of the provisions of clause (a) of this Section 2.2.4 (but without duplication), in the event that, by reason of any Regulatory Change which affects similarly situated banks or financial institutions generally and is not applicable to Lender primarily by reason of Lender’s particular conduct or condition, Lender incurs Additional Costs based on or measured by the excess above a specified level of the amount of a category of deposits or other liabilities of Lender that includes deposits by reference to which the LIBOR Rate is determined as provided in this Agreement or a category of extensions of credit or other assets of Lender that includes any portion of the Loan based on the LIBOR Rate hereunder, then, if Lender so elects by notice to Borrower, the obligation of such Lender to make or continue the portion of the Loan based on the LIBOR Rate hereunder shall be suspended effective on the last day of the then current Interest Period, until such Regulatory Change ceases to be in effect and the portion of the Loan based on the LIBOR Rate hereunder shall, during such suspension, bear interest at the Reference Rate plus the Applicable Spread.
(c) Without limiting the effect of the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.2.4 (but without duplication), Borrower shall pay to Lender from time to time on request such amounts as Lender may reasonably determine to be necessary to compensate Lender (or, without duplication, the bank holding company of which Lender is a subsidiary) for any costs that it determines are attributable to the maintenance by Lender (or such bank holding company of Lender), pursuant to any law or regulation or any interpretation, directive or request (whether or not having the force of law) of any Governmental Authority (i) following any Regulatory Change or (ii) implementing any risk-based capital guideline or other requirement (whether or not having the force of law) applying to a class of banks including Lender, hereafter issued by any government or governmental or supervisory authority implementing at the national level the Basle Accord (including, without limitation, the Final Risk-Based Capital Guidelines of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (12 C.F.R. Part 208, Appendix A; 00 X.X.X. Xxxx 000, Xxxxxxxx X) and the Final Risk-Based Capital Guidelines of the office of the Comptroller of the Currency (12 C.F.R. Part 3, Appendix A)), of capital in respect of the
-30-
commitment to lend or the Loan (such compensation to include, without limitation, an amount equal to any reduction of the rate of return on assets or equity of Lender (or such bank holding company of Lender) to a level below that which Lender (or such bank holding company of Lender) could have achieved but for such law, regulation, interpretation, directive or request). For purposes of this Section 2.2.4(c), “Basle Accord” shall mean the proposals for risk-based capital framework described by the Basle Committee on Banking Regulations and Supervisory Practices in its paper entitled “International Convergence of Capital Measurement and Capital Standards” dated July 1988, as amended, modified and supplemented and in effect from time to time or any replacement thereof.
(d) Lender shall notify Borrower of any event occurring after the date of this Agreement of which Borrower has knowledge entitling Lender to compensation under clause (a) or (c) of this Section 2.2.4 as promptly as practicable, and shall designate a different lending office for the Loan if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in the reasonable opinion of Lender, be materially disadvantageous to Lender. Lender shall furnish to Borrower a certificate setting forth the basis and amount of each request by Lender for compensation under clause (a) or (c) of this Section 2.2.4. Determinations and allocations by Lender for purposes of this Section 2.2.4 of the effect of any Regulatory Change pursuant to clause (a) or (b) of this Section 2.2.4, or of the effect of capital maintained pursuant to clause (c) of this Section 2.2.4, on its costs or rate of return of maintaining the Loan or its obligation to make such Loan, or on amounts receivable by it in respect of the Loan, and of the amounts required to compensate Lender under this Section 2.2.4, shall constitute prima facie evidence thereof absent manifest error. Lender shall confirm to Borrower at the time it makes any claim under this Section 2.2.4 that the methods of determination and allocation used by it in determining the amount of such claim are reasonably consistent with Lender’s treatment of customers similar to Borrower (as reasonably determined by Lender). In the event Lender makes a request for compensation under clause (a) or (c) of this Section 2.2.4, Borrower shall, upon payment of the amount of compensation so requested, have the right to prepay the Loan in full (without any prepayment penalty or fee or exit fee) on the last day of any then current Interest Period or the next two succeeding Interest Periods with respect to which such compensation has been requested.
2.2.5 LIBOR Rate. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if, on or prior to the determination of any LIBOR Base Rate for any Interest Period, Lender reasonably determines that quotations of interest rates for the relevant deposits referred to in the definition of “LIBOR Base Rate” are not available then Lender shall give Borrower prompt notice thereof and, so long as such condition remains in effect, Lender shall be under no obligation to make any such LIBOR Loan, or if any portion of the Loan is already outstanding as a LIBOR Loan, such portion shall, commencing immediately after the end of the then current Interest Period, bear interest at the Reference Rate plus the Applicable Spread. Lender shall promptly notify Borrower upon the cessation of any facts and circumstances which resulted in suspension under this Section 2.2.5, whereupon the Loan or any portion thereof shall be reinstalled as a LIBOR Loan.
2.2.6 Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event that it becomes unlawful for Lender to honor its obligation to make or maintain the Loan, then Lender shall promptly notify Borrower thereof and Lender’s obligation to make the Loan
-31-
shall be suspended until such time as Lender may again make the Loan and Borrower shall, if required by applicable law, upon the request of Lender, prepay any outstanding portion of the Loan together with accrued interest thereon, but without any prepayment premium or fee or Exit Fee or other compensation to Lender pursuant to Section 2.2.7. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender shall, as promptly as practicable, designate a different lending office for the Loan if doing so would enable it to lawfully honor its obligation to make or maintain the Loan.
2.2.7 Compensation. Borrower shall pay to Lender, upon the written request of Lender, such amount or amounts as shall be sufficient (in the reasonable opinion of Lender) to compensate it for any loss, cost or expense that Lender reasonably determines is attributable to:
(a) any payment or prepayment (mandatory or optional) of the principal of a LIBOR Loan for any reason (including, without limitation, the acceleration of the maturity of the Loan pursuant to Section 9.1) on a date other than a Monthly Payment Date; or
(b) any failure by Borrower for any reason to borrow or to prepay a LIBOR Loan on the date for such borrowing or prepayment specified in the relevant notice of borrowing or notice of prepayment under any provision hereof.
Lender will furnish to Borrower a certificate setting forth the basis and amount of each request by Lender for compensation under this Section 2.2.7, which certificate shall provide reasonable detail as to the calculation of such loss, cost or expense. Absent manifest error, such certificate shall constitute prima facie evidence of the amount of such loss, cost or expense, which shall be calculated by Lender on a reasonable and customary basis, consistent with the basis on which such calculations are then being made by similarly situated banks or financial institutions generally.
2.2.8 Withholding Taxes. Borrower agrees to pay to Lender such additional amounts (collectively, the “Gross-up Amounts”) as are necessary in order that the net payment of any amount due hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents to Lender, after deduction for or withholding of any present or future tax imposed by the United States (subject to the provisions of this Section 2.2.8), excluding Excluded Taxes of Lender, will be the amount that would have been required to be paid hereunder in the absence of such deduction or withholding. Any assignee of Lender and any Participant shall provide Borrower, on the effective date of the applicable assignment or participation with a form prescribed by the United States Internal Revenue Service (currently, Form W-9, Form W-8ECI or Form W-8BEN) certifying an exemption from United States withholding taxes with respect to all payments to be made to it under this Agreement and any other Loan Document at the date of such certificate, and if any assignee of Lender or any Participant, fails to provide Borrower with the prescribed form referred to in the preceding sentence, indicating that such payments are not subject to United States withholding tax or are subject to such tax at a rate reduced to zero by an applicable tax treaty, Borrower may withhold taxes from payments to or for the account of such assignee or Participant at the applicable statutory rate and shall not be obligated to pay any additional amounts described in the first sentence of this Section in respect of the Loan; provided, that this sentence shall be inapplicable to Lender, any assignee of Lender and any Participant in the event that Lender, any assignee of Lender and any Participant is not able to make the certification set forth in such prescribed form as a result of a change in United States federal income tax law,
-32-
regulation or judicial or administrative interpretation occurring after the date hereof, or, as to any assignee of any Lender or Participant, after the effective date of the applicable assignment or participation, or of an amendment, modification or revocation of an applicable tax treaty or a change in any official position regarding the application or interpretation thereof, in each case, occurring after the date hereof or, as to any assignee of any Lender or Participant, after the effective date of the applicable assignment or participation; provided, however, that if Lender, any assignee of Lender and any Participant, as applicable, has knowledge of such change, Lender, any assignee of Lender and any Participant, as applicable, shall make reasonable efforts to provide Borrower with any form that reduces the applicable withholding tax rate below the statutory rate. In addition, Lender, any assignee of Lender and any Participant agrees that, when a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders the previous certification obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, and it has knowledge that the previous certification is obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, it will make reasonable efforts to provide Borrower with a new form to confirm or establish a continued exemption from or, if the last proviso of the preceding sentence applies, reduction in withholding tax with respect to payments made to it under this Agreement. In the event that Borrower is obligated to pay any additional amounts described in the first sentence of this Section in respect of the Loan, Lender shall make commercially reasonable efforts to change the jurisdiction of its lending office if, in the reasonable judgment of Lender, doing so would eliminate or reduce Borrower’s obligation to pay such additional amounts and would not be disadvantageous to Lender.
Section 2.3 Usury Savings.
2.3.1 Usury Savings. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are subject to the express condition that at no time shall Borrower be required to pay interest on the principal balance of the Loan at a rate which could subject Lender to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate. If by the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the principal balance due hereunder at a rate in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate, the Applicable Interest Rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to the Maximum Legal Rate and all previous payments in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of principal and not on account of the interest due hereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the sums due under the Loan, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of the Loan until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Loan does not exceed the Maximum Legal Rate from time to time in effect and applicable to the Loan for so long as the Loan is outstanding.
Section 2.4 Loan Payments.
2.4.1 Payment Before Maturity Date. Borrower shall make a payment to Lender of interest only at the Applicable Interest Rate accruing on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan (a) on the date hereof for the Interest Period ending on March 1, 2006, and (b) on each Monthly Payment Date thereafter for each related Interest Period to and including the Maturity Date; each payment to be calculated in the manner set forth in Section 2.2.2. Borrower’s obligations with respect to the interest payment due on each Monthly Payment Date
-33-
shall be deemed satisfied to the extent sufficient Debt Service Funds are on deposit to satisfy such obligations (and all other obligations to be satisfied from the Debt Service Funds) on each Monthly Payment Date.
2.4.2 Payment on Maturity Date. Borrower shall pay to Lender the outstanding principal balance of the Loan, all accrued and unpaid interest and all other amounts due hereunder and under the Note, the Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents on the Maturity Date.
2.4.3 Late Payment Charge. If any principal, interest or any other sum due under the Loan Documents is not paid by Borrower within five (5) days of the date on which such payment is due (other than a payment due on the Maturity Date, Borrower shall pay to Lender upon demand an amount equal to the lesser of four percent (4%) of such unpaid sum or the maximum amount permitted by applicable law in order to defray the expense incurred by Lender in handling and processing such delinquent payment and to compensate Lender for the loss of the use of such delinquent payment. Any such amount shall be secured by the Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
2.4.4 Interest Rate and Payment After Default. In the event that, and for so long as, any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the outstanding principal balance of the Loan shall accrue interest at the Default Rate, calculated with respect to any monetary Default from the date the Default occurred which led to such an Event of Default without regard to any grace or cure periods contained herein and with respect to any other Default from the date that the same became an Event of Default.
2.4.5 Method and Place of Payment. (a) Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all payments and prepayments under this Agreement and the Note shall be made to Lender not later than 2:00 P.M., New York City time, on the date when due and shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately available funds at the Lender’s officer set forth above, and any funds received by Lender after such time shall, for all purposes hereof, be deemed to have been paid on the next succeeding Business Day.
(b) Whenever any payment to be made hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be the immediately succeeding Business Day.
2.4.6 IRR Lookback Payment. Prior to the satisfaction of the Loan, Borrower shall be required to pay to Lender the IRR Lookback Payment.
Section 2.5 Prepayment.
2.5.1 Permitted Prepayments. (a) The principal balance of the Note may not be prepaid in whole or in part except as otherwise expressly permitted in this Agreement.
(b) Borrower shall partially prepay the Loan in connection with the sale of Units and/or grants of parking licenses as provided in Section 4.1.40(i) hereafter and Borrower shall be required to pay all other sums due hereunder with respect to the sale of Units and/or grant of parking licenses.
-34-
(c) No principal amount repaid may be reborrowed.
(d) Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold Lender harmless from and against all actual loss, cost or expense which Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (i) default by Borrower in prepayment of the Loan and accrued interest thereon after having given notice that prepayment will occur on a Monthly Payment Date, including, but not limited to, any such actual loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to make or maintain the Loan, and all such sums shall be deemed Obligations secured by said mortgage; or (ii) payment upon acceleration or otherwise of any portion of the Loan on a date which is not the last day of an Interest Period. This indemnification shall survive the payment of the outstanding principal sum of the Loan. The certificate of Lender as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this clause (d) shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding upon Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Net Sale Proceeds are received by Lender on a date other than a Monthly Payment Date such Net Sale Proceeds shall be held by Lender as collateral security for the Loan in an interest bearing account, with such interest accruing to the benefit of Borrower, and shall be applied by Lender on the next Monthly Payment Date.
(e) If the Loan shall become payable in full due to the occurrence of an Event of Default or any other event giving rise to the Lender’s right to accelerate payment pursuant to the Loan Documents, then Borrower shall pay Lender a prepayment charge as calculated below with respect to that portion of the indebtedness being prepaid or paid, as the case may be: (1) a prepayment charge equal to an amount representing the present value (if such sum was invested in United States Treasury obligations) of the difference between (A) the yield which would have resulted through the last day of the then current Interest Period had the indebtedness not been prepaid and (B) the yield which would have resulted through the last day of the then current Interest Period if the amount prepaid were invested in United States Treasury obligations selected by the holder of the Loan having maturity dates closest to the last day of the then current Interest Period, (2) all accrued and unpaid interest on the Loan, and (3) all other charges, fees, costs and expenses owed by Borrower under the Loan Documents. Borrower acknowledges that imposing a prepayment charge which is, in fact, the present value of the difference between the interest which would have been earned under the Loan and the interest which may be earned on certain United States Treasury obligations is reasonable because the availability to Lender of investments comparable to the Loan (taking into account the quality of the security and of Borrower) is highly speculative.
2.5.2 Liquidation Events. (a) In the event of (i) any Casualty to all or any portion of the Property, (ii) any Condemnation of all or any portion of the Property, (iii) a Transfer of the Property or the First Mezzanine Collateral, (iv) any refinancing of the Property or the Mortgage Loan or the First Mezzanine Loan or (v) the receipt by Mortgage Borrower of any excess proceeds realized under its owner’s title insurance policy after application of such proceeds by Mortgage Borrower to cure any title defect (each, a “Liquidation Event”), Borrower shall cause the related Net Liquidation Proceeds After Debt Service to be deposited with Lender. On each date on which Lender actually receives a distribution of Net Liquidation Proceeds After Debt Service, Borrower shall prepay the outstanding principal balance of the Note in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of such Net Liquidation Proceeds After Debt Service. Any amounts of Net Liquidation Proceeds After Debt Service in excess of the
-35-
Debt shall be paid to Borrower. Any prepayment received by Lender pursuant to this Section 2.5.2 on a date other than a Monthly Payment Date shall be held by Lender as collateral security for the Loan in an interest bearing account, with such interest accruing to the benefit of Borrower, and shall be applied by Lender on the next Monthly Payment Date.
(b) Borrower shall promptly notify Lender of any Liquidation Event once Borrower has knowledge of such event. Borrower shall be deemed to have knowledge of (i) a sale (other than a foreclosure sale) of the Property on the date on which a contract of sale for such sale is entered into by Mortgage Borrower, and a foreclosure sale, on the date notice of such foreclosure sale is given to Mortgage Borrower, and (ii) a refinancing of the Property or the First Mezzanine Loan, on the date on which a commitment for such refinancing has been entered into by Mortgage Borrower or First Mezzanine Borrower, as applicable. The provisions of this Section 2.5.2 shall not be construed to contravene in any manner the restrictions and other provisions regarding refinancing of the Mortgage Loan, the First Mezzanine Loan or Transfer of the Property set forth in this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the First Mezzanine Loan Documents and the Mortgage Loan Documents.
(c) In each instance of prepayment under this Section 2.5.2, Borrower shall be required to pay all other amounts then due hereunder and no principal amount repaid may be reborrowed.
2.5.3 Prepayments Generally. In connection with any prepayment pursuant to Section 2.5.1 or Section 2.5.2 Borrower shall pay to Lender, simultaneously with such prepayments all interest which would have accrued on the amount of the Loan to be paid through and including the last day of the Interest Period ending prior to the Monthly Payment Date next occurring following the date of such prepayment.
2.5.4 Intentionally Deleted.
2.5.5 Miscellaneous. (a) The making of an Advance by Lender shall not constitute Lender’s approval or acceptance of the construction theretofore completed. Lender’s inspection and approval of the Plans and Specifications, the construction and renovation of the Project Improvements, or the workmanship and materials used therein, shall impose no liability of any kind on Lender, the sole obligation of Lender as the result of such inspection and approval being to make the Advances if and to the extent, required by this Agreement.
Section 2.6 Payments Not Conditional.
2.6.1 Payments Not Conditional. All payments required to be made by Borrower hereunder or under the Note or the other Loan Documents shall be made irrespective of, and without deduction for, any setoff, claim or counterclaim and shall be made irrespective of any defense thereto.

Section 9.2 Rights and Remedies of Lender.
9.2.1 Remedies. (a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, all or any one or more of the rights, powers, privileges and other remedies available to Lender against Borrower under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents executed and delivered by, or applicable to, Borrower or at law or in equity may be exercised by Lender at any time and from time to time, whether or not all or any of the Debt shall be declared due and payable, and whether or not Lender shall have commenced any foreclosure proceeding or other action for the enforcement of its rights and remedies under any of the Loan Documents with respect to the Collateral. Any such actions taken by Lender shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singly, successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in its sole discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender permitted by law, equity or contract or as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower agrees that if an Event of Default is continuing (i) Lender is not subject to any “one action” or “election of remedies” law or rule, and (ii) all liens and other rights, remedies or privileges provided to Lender shall remain in full force and effect until Lender has exhausted all of its remedies against the Collateral and the Pledge Agreement has been foreclosed, sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Debt or the Debt has been paid in full.
(b) Lender shall have the right from time to time following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default to partially foreclose upon the Collateral in any manner and for any amounts secured by the Pledge Agreement then due and payable as determined by Lender in its sole discretion including, without limitation, the following circumstances: (i) in the event Borrower defaults beyond any applicable grace period in the payment of one or more scheduled payments of principal (if any) and interest, Lender may foreclose upon the Collateral to recover such delinquent payments, or (ii) in the event Lender elects to accelerate less than the entire outstanding principal balance of the Loan, Lender may foreclose upon the Collateral to recover so much of the principal balance of the Loan as Lender may accelerate and such other sums secured by the Pledge Agreement as Lender may elect. Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, the Collateral shall remain subject to the Pledge Agreement to secure payment of sums secured by the Pledge Agreement and not previously recovered.
(c) Lender shall have the right from time to time to sever the Note and the other Loan Documents into one or more separate notes, pledges and other security documents (the “Severed Loan Documents”) in such denominations as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion for purposes of evidencing and enforcing its rights and remedies provided hereunder. To that end, subject to the terms of this Agreement, Borrower, upon written request of Lender, shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Lender and/or its designee or designees substitute Notes and security instruments provided that (i) the aggregate principal amount of the substitute Notes is not more than the then unpaid principal amount of the Note, and (ii) the weighted average interest rate of all such component notes on the date created shall equal the interest rate which was applicable to the Loan immediately prior to the creation of the component notes and (iii) the other terms, provisions and clauses of each of the component notes shall be identical in substance and substantially similar in form to those contained herein and in the Note, and such
-91-
other documents and instruments as may be reasonably required by Lender; provided, however, that no such modification, new notes or new provisions, when considered in the aggregate with all other Loan Documents, shall result in no economic change and no more than a de minimis adverse change to Borrower with respect to any other provision of the Loan or increase Borrower’s obligations or liabilities (to more than a de minimis extent) or decrease Borrower’s right (to more than a de minimis extent) or expand Borrower’s representations and warranties under the Loan Documents (to more than a de minimis extent). Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints Lender as its true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in its name and stead to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect the aforesaid severance; provided, however, Lender shall not make or execute any such documents under such power until ten (10) days after notice has been given to Borrower by Lender of Lender’s intent to exercise its rights under such power and Borrower has failed to do so during such ten (10) day period. Except if an Event of Default is continuing or as may be required in connection with a Securitization pursuant to Section 12.1 hereof, Borrower shall not 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, covenants or other material provisions not contained in the Loan Documents and any such representations and warranties contained in the Severed Loan Documents will be given by Borrower only as of the Closing Date or as otherwise required pursuant to this Agreement. Lender agrees upon execution and delivery by Borrower of component Notes, Lender agrees to deliver the original Note to Borrower.
(d) Any amounts recovered from the Collateral or any other collateral for the Loan after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default may be applied by Lender toward the payment of any interest and/or principal of the Loan and/or any other amounts due under the Loan Documents in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall determine.
(e) Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Lender may declare its obligations to make Advances hereunder to be terminated, whereupon the same shall terminate, and/or declare all unpaid principal of and accrued interest on the Note, together with all other sums payable under the Loan Documents, to be immediately due and payable, whereupon same shall become and be immediately due and payable, anything in the Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, and without presentation, protest or further demand or notice of any kind, all of which are expressly hereby waived by Borrower; provided, however, that Lender may make Advances or parts of Advances thereafter without thereby waiving the right to demand payment of the Note, without becoming liable to make any other or further Advances, and without affecting the validity of or enforceability of the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding and without limiting the generality of the foregoing or anything else to the contrary contained in this Agreement, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Lender’s obligations to make Advances hereunder shall automatically terminate.
(f) Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Lender may, but without any obligation to do so and without notice to or demand on Borrower and without releasing Borrower from any obligation hereunder or being deemed to have cured any Event of Default hereunder, make, do or perform any obligation of Borrower hereunder in
-92-
such manner and to such extent as Lender may deem necessary. In such case, Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower to permit Lender to enter upon the Property for such purposes, or appear in, defend, or bring any action or proceeding to protect its interest in the Property for such purposes, and the cost and expense thereof (including reasonable attorneys’ fees to the extent permitted by law), with interest as provided in the next sentence, shall constitute a portion of the Debt and shall be due and payable to Lender upon demand. All such costs and expenses incurred by Lender in remedying such Event of Default or such failed payment or act or in appearing in, defending, or bringing any action or proceeding shall bear interest at the Default Rate, for the period after such cost or expense was incurred until the date of payment to Lender. All such costs and expenses incurred by Lender together with interest thereon calculated at the Default Rate shall be deemed to constitute a portion of the Debt and be secured by the liens, claims and security interests provided to Lender under the Loan Documents and shall be immediately due and payable upon demand by Lender. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a First Mezzanine Loan Default, Lender may, but without any obligation to do so and without notice to or demand on Borrower or First Mezzanine Borrower and without releasing First Mezzanine Borrower from any obligation under the First Mezzanine Loan Documents or being deemed to have cured any First Mezzanine Loan Default, make, do or perform any obligation of First Mezzanine Borrower under the First Mezzanine Loan Documents in such manner and to such extent as Lender may deem necessary. All such costs and expenses incurred by Lender in remedying such First Mezzanine Loan Default or such failed payment or act shall bear interest at the Default Rate, for the period after such cost or expense was incurred until the date of payment to Lender. All such costs and expenses incurred by Lender together with interest thereon calculated at the Default Rate shall be deemed to constitute a portion of the Debt and be secured by the liens, claims and security interests provided to Lender under the Loan Documents and shall be immediately due and payable upon demand by Lender therefor.
9.2.2 Power of Attorney. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, for the purposes of carrying out the provisions and exercising the rights, powers and privileges granted by or referred to in this Agreement, Borrower hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Lender its true and lawful attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution, to execute, acknowledge and deliver any instruments and do and perform any acts which are referred to in this Agreement, in the name and on behalf of Borrower. The power vested in such attorney-in-fact is, and shall be deemed to be, coupled with an interest and irrevocable.
9.2.3 Intentionally Reserved.
9.2.4 Annulment of Defaults. An Event of Default shall not be deemed to be in existence for any purpose of this Agreement or any Loan Document if Lender shall have waived such Event of Default in writing or stated that the same has been cured to its reasonable satisfaction, but no such waiver shall extend to or affect any subsequent Event of Default or impair any of the rights of Lender upon the occurrence thereof.
9.2.5 Waivers. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, Borrower hereby waives to the extent not prohibited by applicable law (a) all presentments, demands for payment or performance, notices of nonperformance (except to the extent required by the provisions hereof or of any other Building Loan Documents), protests and notices of dishonor, (b) any
-93-
requirement of diligence or promptness on Lender’s part in the enforcement of its rights (but not fulfillment of its obligations) under the provisions of this Agreement or any other Building Loan Document, and (c) any and all notices of every kind and description which may be required to be given by any statute or rule of law and are not otherwise required to be given hereunder or under any other Loan Document, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
9.2.6 Course of Dealing, Etc. No course of dealing and no delay or omission by Lender or Borrower in exercising any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof or of any other right or remedy and no single or partial exercise thereof shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy. A waiver on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to or waiver of any right or remedy on any future occasion. No waiver or consent shall be binding upon Lender unless it is in writing and signed by Lender. Lender’s exercise of Lender’s right to remedy any default by Borrower to Lender or any other Person shall not constitute a waiver of the default remedied, a waiver of any other prior or subsequent default by Borrower or a waiver of the right to be reimbursed for any and all of its expenses in so remedying such default. The making of an Advance hereunder during the existence of an Event of Default shall not constitute a waiver thereof. All rights and remedies of Lender hereunder are cumulative. No Advance of Loan proceeds hereunder, no increase or decrease in the amount of any Advance, and no making of all or any part of an Advance prior to the due date thereof shall constitute an approval or acceptance by Lender of the work theretofore done or a waiver of any of the conditions of Lender’s obligation to make further Advances, nor in the event Borrower is unable to satisfy any such condition, shall any such failure to insist upon strict compliance have the effect of precluding Lender from thereafter refusing to make an Advance and/or declaring such inability to be an Event of Default as hereinabove provided. All Advances shall be deemed to have been made pursuant hereto and not in contravention of the terms of this Agreement.
Section 9.3 Remedies Cumulative. The rights, powers and remedies of Lender under this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which Lender may have against Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or existing at law or in equity or otherwise. Lender’s rights, powers and remedies may be pursued singly, 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 the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default shall impair any such remedy, right or power or shall be construed as a waiver thereof, but any such remedy, right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. A waiver of one Default or Event of Default with respect to Borrower shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default by Borrower or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon.
X. MISCELLANEOUS
Section 10.1 Successors and Assigns. All covenants, promises and agreements in this Agreement, by or on behalf of Borrower, shall inure to the benefit of the respective legal representatives, successors and assigns of Lender.

Section 10.2 Lender’s Discretion. Whenever, pursuant to this Agreement, Lender exercises any right given to it to approve or disapprove, or any arrangement or term is to be satisfactory to Lender, the decision of Lender to approve or disapprove or to decide whether arrangements or terms are satisfactory or not satisfactory shall (except as is otherwise specifically herein provided) be in the sole discretion of Lender and shall be final and conclusive.

Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no notice to, or demand on Borrower, shall entitle Borrower to any other or future notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances.

Section 10.8 Headings. The Article and/or Section headings and the Table of Contents in this Agreement are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purpose.
Section 10.9 Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.
Section 10.10 Preferences. Lender shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply or reverse and reapply any and all payments by Borrower to any portion of the Obligations of Borrower hereunder. To the extent Borrower makes a payment or payments to Lender, which payment or proceeds or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or proceeds received, the Obligations hereunder or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continue in full force and effect, as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by Lender.
Section 10.11 Waiver of Notice. Borrower shall not be entitled to any notices of any nature whatsoever from Lender except with respect to matters for which this Agreement or the other Loan Documents specifically and expressly provide for the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower and except with respect to matters for which Borrower is not, pursuant to applicable Legal Requirements, permitted to waive the giving of notice.

(b) Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Lender, each participant in the Loan, and their respective officers, directors, partners, employees and agents (each, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against, and shall reimburse the affected Indemnified Party for, any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for Lender in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding commenced or threatened, whether or not Lender shall be designated a party thereto) (collectively, “Losses”), that are actually imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against such Indemnified Party in any manner relating to or arising out of (i) any breach by Borrower of its Obligations under, or any material misrepresentation by Borrower contained in, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, (ii) the use or intended use of the proceeds of the Loan or (iii) any other matter arising from this Agreement or the Loan (collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided, however, that Borrower shall not have any obligation to such Indemnified Party hereunder to the extent that such Indemnified Liabilities arise from the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party or to the extent that such Indemnified Liabilities relate to the Collateral and arise after title to the Collateral has been transferred by foreclosure. 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 such Indemnified Party.
-99-
(c) In case any such claim, action or proceeding (a “Claim”) is brought against an Indemnified Party in respect of which indemnification may be sought by such Indemnified Party pursuant hereto, Lender shall give prompt written notice thereof to Borrower, which notice shall include all documents and information in the possession of or under the control of Lender and such Indemnified Party relating to such Claim and shall specifically state that indemnification for such Claim is being sought under this Section 10.13; provided, however, that the failure of Lender to so notify Borrower shall not limit or affect such Indemnified Party’s rights to be indemnified pursuant to this Section 10.13 except to the extent Borrower is materially prejudiced by such failure. Upon receipt of such notice of Claim (together with such documents and information from Lender and such Indemnified Party), Borrower shall, at its sole cost and expense, in good faith defend any such Claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to Lender and such Indemnified Party (it being understood that counsel selected by Borrower’s insurance carrier shall be deemed to be acceptable to Lender and such Indemnified Party, provided such insurer is an acceptable insurer under the Loan Documents or otherwise was accepted by Lender as an insurer), which counsel may, without limiting the rights of Lender and such Indemnified Party pursuant to the next succeeding sentence of this Section 10.13, also represent Borrower in such investigation, action or proceeding. In the alternative, such Indemnified Party may elect to conduct its own defense through counsel of its own choosing and at the reasonable expense of Borrower, if (A) such Indemnified Party reasonably determines that the conduct of its defense by Borrower would be reasonably expected to be materially prejudicial to its interests, (B) Borrower refuses to defend, or (C) Borrower shall have failed, in such Indemnified Party’s reasonable judgment, to defend the Claim in good faith (unless such Claim is being defended by Borrower’s insurance carrier, provided such insurer is an acceptable insurer under the Loan Documents or otherwise was accepted by Lender as an insurer). Borrower may settle any Claim against such Indemnified Party without such Indemnified Party’s consent, provided (i) such settlement is without any liability, cost or expense whatsoever to such Indemnified Party, (ii) the settlement does not include or require any admission of liability or culpability by such Indemnified Party under any federal, state or local statute or regulation, whether criminal or civil in nature and (iii) Borrower obtains an effective written release of liability for such Indemnified Party from the party to the Claim with whom such settlement is being made, which release must be reasonably acceptable to such Indemnified Party, and a dismissal with prejudice with respect to all claims made by the party against such Indemnified Party in connection with such Claim. Lender and such Indemnified Party shall reasonably cooperate with Borrower, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, in connection with the defense or settlement of any Claim in accordance with the terms hereof. If Borrower refuses to defend any Claim or fails to defend such Claim in good faith (other than a Claim that is being defended by Borrower’s carrier, provided such insurer is an acceptable insurer under the Loan Documents or otherwise was accepted by Lender as an insurer) and such Indemnified Party elects to defend such Claim by counsel of its own choosing Borrower shall be responsible for any good faith settlement of such Claim entered into by such Indemnified Party. If such Indemnified Party reasonably determines that the conduct of its defense by Borrower would be reasonably expected to be materially prejudicial to its interests and elects to defend such Claim by counsel of its own choosing, Borrower shall be responsible for any reasonable settlement of such Claim entered into by such Indemnified Party. Except as provided in the preceding two (2) sentences, no
-100-
Indemnified Party may pay or settle any Claim and seek reimbursement therefor under this Section 10.13. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as requiring Lender or any Indemnified Party to expend funds or incur costs to defend any Claim in connection with the matters for which Lender or any Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section 10.13. The Obligations of Borrower hereunder shall specifically include the obligation to expend its own funds, to incur costs in its own name and to perform all actions as may be necessary to protect Lender or any other Indemnified Party from the necessity of expending its own funds, incurring cost or performing any actions in connection with the matters for which Lender or such other Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification hereunder.
(d) After a Securitization, Borrower covenants and agrees to pay for or to reimburse Lender for, any fees and expenses incurred by any Rating Agency in connection with any Rating Agency review of the Loan, the Loan Documents or any transaction contemplated thereby solely for the purpose of obtaining the consent, approval, waiver or confirmation of such Rating Agency pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document and Lender shall be entitled to require payment of such fees and expenses as a condition precedent to the obtaining of any such consent, approval, waiver or confirmation.

-110-
filed any registration statement relating to the Securitization or has acted as the sponsor or depositor in connection with the Securitization, any Affiliate of Lender that acts as an underwriter, placement agent or initial purchaser of Securities issued in the Securitization, any other co-underwriters, co-placement agents or co-initial purchasers of Securities issued in the Securitization, and each of their respective officers, directors, partners, employees, representatives, agents and Affiliates and each Person or entity who controls any such Person within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively, the “Indemnified Persons”), for any actual losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs or expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees and expenses for enforcement of these obligations (collectively, the “Liabilities”)) to which any such Indemnified Person may become subject insofar as the Liabilities arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Covered Disclosure Information or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state in the Covered Disclosure Information a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements in the Covered Disclosure Information, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and (iii) agreeing to reimburse each Indemnified Person for any reasonable legal or other actual, out-of-pocket expenses incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with defending the Liabilities. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which Borrower may otherwise have. Moreover, the indemnification provided for in clauses (ii) and (iii) above shall be effective whether or not an indemnification agreement described in clause (i) above is provided.
(c) In connection with filings under the Exchange Act, Borrower agrees 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 reasonable legal or other actual, out-of-pocket expenses incurred by such Indemnified Persons, as they are incurred, in connection with defending 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 Borrower, notify Borrower in writing of the claim or the commencement of that action; provided, however, that the failure to notify Borrower shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have under the indemnification provisions of this Section 12.1.6 except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced by such failure and, provided further that the failure to notify Borrower shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to an Indemnified Person otherwise than under the provisions of this Section 12.1.6. If any such claim or action shall be brought against an Indemnified Person, Borrower 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 Borrower to the Indemnified Person of its election to assume the defense of such claim or action, Borrower 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
-111-
following sentence; provided, however, if the defendants in any such action include both Borrower, 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 Borrower, 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 Borrower is required hereunder to indemnify such Indemnified Person. Borrower 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 consent of Lender (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, Borrower shall not 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 Borrower shall have given Lender reasonable prior 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 Borrower has complied with its obligations to defend and indemnify hereunder, Borrower shall not be liable for any settlement made by any Indemnified Person without the consent of Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).
(f) Borrower agrees that if any indemnification or reimbursement sought pursuant to this Section 12.1.6 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 12.1.6), then Borrower, 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: (x) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits to Borrower, 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 Borrower, 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 12.1.6, (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) Borrower agrees 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 (by underwriting discount or otherwise) actually received by the Indemnified Persons in connection with the closing of the Loan or the Securitization.
-112-
(g) Borrower agrees that the indemnification, contribution and reimbursement obligations set forth in this Section 12.1.6 shall apply whether or not any Indemnified Person is a formal party to any lawsuits, claims or other proceedings. Borrower further agrees that the Indemnified Persons are intended third party beneficiaries under this Section 12.1.6.
(h) The liabilities and obligations of the Indemnified Persons and Borrower under this Section 12.1.6 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 not any obligation to act as depositor with respect to the Loan or any portion thereof which is the subject of any Securitization or an issuer or registrant with respect to the Securities issued in any Securitization.

(iii) Net Sales Proceeds received by Lender under Section 4.1.40 shall be deposited as Debt Service Funds. In addition, any Rents or other income from the Property (“Operating Income”) shall become part of the Debt Service Funds. If, at any time, the amount of Debt Service Funds exceeds an amount equal to three (3) months of Total Debt Service and Mezzanine Debt Service, Lender shall apply the excess to the prepayment of the Loan and the Mezzanine Loans in the following order of priority without prepayment penalty or premium other than Additional Costs:
(i) first, to payment of the Exit Fee due with respect to the sale of such Unit or Units; and
