(b) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 2.2.3, the Loan shall be a LIBOR Loan and Borrower shall pay interest on the Outstanding Principal Balance at LIBOR plus the Spread for the applicable Interest Period. Any change in the rate of interest hereunder due to a change in the Applicable Interest Rate shall become effective as of the opening of business on the first day on which such change in the Applicable Interest Rate shall become effective. Each determination by Lender of the Applicable Interest Rate shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
(c) In the event that Lender shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower absent manifest error) that by reason of circumstances affecting the interbank Eurodollar market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR, then Lender shall forthwith give notice by telephone of such determination, confirmed in writing, to Borrower at least one (1) day prior to the last day of the related Interest Period. If such notice is given, the related outstanding LIBOR Loan shall be converted, on the last day of the then current Interest Period, to a Prime Rate Loan.
(d) If, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, any portion of the Loan has been converted to a Prime Rate Loan and Lender shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower absent manifest error) that the event(s) or circumstance(s) which resulted in such conversion shall no longer be applicable, Lender shall give notice by telephone of such determination, confirmed in writing, to Borrower at least one (1) day prior to the last day of the related Interest Period. If such notice is given, the related outstanding Prime Rate Loan shall be converted to a LIBOR Loan on the last day of the then current Interest Period.
(e) With respect to a LIBOR Loan, all payments made by Borrower hereunder shall be made free and clear of, and without reduction for or on account of, income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions, reserves or withholdings imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority, which are imposed, enacted or become effective after the date hereof (such non-excluded taxes being referred to collectively as “Foreign Taxes”), excluding income and franchise taxes of the United States of America or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (including Puerto Rico). If any Foreign Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to Lender hereunder, the amounts so payable to Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to Lender (after payment of all Foreign Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rate or in the amounts specified hereunder. Whenever any Foreign Tax is payable pursuant to applicable law by Borrower, as promptly as possible thereafter, Borrower shall send to Lender an original official receipt, if available, or certified copy thereof showing payment of such Foreign Tax. Borrower hereby indemnifies Lender for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by Lender which may result from any failure by Borrower to pay any such Foreign Tax when due to the appropriate taxing authority or any failure by Borrower to remit to Lender the required receipts or other required documentary evidence.
(f) If any requirement of law or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof, shall hereafter make it unlawful for Lender to make or maintain a LIBOR Loan as contemplated hereunder (i) the obligation of Lender hereunder to make a LIBOR Loan or to convert a Prime Rate Loan to a LIBOR Loan shall be canceled forthwith, and (ii) any
26
outstanding LIBOR Loan shall be converted automatically to a Prime Rate Loan on the next succeeding Payment Date or within such earlier period as required by law. Borrower hereby agrees promptly to pay Lender, upon demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate Lender for any costs incurred by Lender in making any conversion in accordance with this Agreement, including, without limitation, any interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to make or maintain the LIBOR Loan hereunder. Lender’s notice of such costs, as certified to Borrower, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(g) In the event that any change in any requirement of law or in the interpretation or application thereof, or compliance by Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) hereafter issued from any central bank or other Governmental Authority:
(i) | shall hereafter impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of Lender which is not otherwise included in the determination of LIBOR hereunder; |
(ii) | shall hereafter have the effect of reducing the rate of return on Lender’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which Lender could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration Lender’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by any amount deemed by Lender to be material; or |
(iii) | shall hereafter impose on Lender any other condition and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Lender of making, renewing or maintaining loans or extensions of credit or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder; |
then, in any such case, Borrower shall promptly pay Lender, upon demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate Lender for such additional cost or reduced amount receivable which Lender deems to be material as determined by Lender. If Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.2.3(g), Lender shall provide Borrower with not less than ninety (90) days notice specifying in reasonable detail the event by reason of which it has become so entitled and the additional amount required to fully compensate Lender for such additional cost or reduced amount. A certificate as to any additional costs or amounts payable pursuant to the foregoing sentence submitted by Lender to Borrower shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. This provision shall survive payment of the Note and the satisfaction of all other obligations of Borrower under this Agreement and the Loan Documents.
(h) Borrower agrees to indemnify Lender and to hold Lender harmless from any loss or expense which Lender sustains or incurs as a consequence of (i) any default by Borrower resulting in a loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain a LIBOR Loan hereunder, (ii) any prepayment
27
(whether voluntary or mandatory) of the LIBOR Loan on a day that is not a Payment Date unless Borrower did not give the prior notice of such prepayment required pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, such loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain the LIBOR Loan hereunder, and (iii) the conversion (if such conversion is caused by any act or omission of Borrower) of the Applicable Interest Rate from LIBOR plus the Spread to the Prime Rate plus the Prime Rate Spread with respect to any portion of the Outstanding Principal Balance then bearing interest at LIBOR plus the Spread on a date other than the Payment Date immediately following the last day of an Interest Period, including, without limitation, such loss or expenses arising from interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain a LIBOR Loan hereunder (the amounts referred to in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) are herein referred to collectively as the “Breakage Costs”); provided, however, Borrower shall not indemnify Lender from any loss or expense arising from Lender’s willful misconduct or gross negligence. This provision shall survive payment of the Note in full and the satisfaction of all other obligations of Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
(i) Lender shall not be entitled to claim compensation pursuant to this Section 2.2.3 for any Foreign Taxes, increased cost or reduction in amounts received or receivable hereunder, or any reduced rate of return, which was incurred or which accrued more than ninety (90) days before the date Lender notified Borrower of the change in law or other circumstance on which such claim of compensation is based and delivered to Borrower a written statement setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for calculating the additional amounts owed to Lender under this Section 2.2.3, which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error.
2.2.4 Additional Costs. Lender will use reasonable efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions) to maintain the availability of the LIBOR Loan and to avoid or reduce any increased or additional costs payable by Borrower under Section 2.2.3, including, if requested by Borrower, a transfer or assignment of the Loan to a branch, office or Affiliate of Lender in another jurisdiction, or a redesignation of its lending office with respect to the Loan, in order to maintain the availability of the LIBOR Loan or to avoid or reduce such increased or additional costs, provided that the transfer or assignment or redesignation (a) would not result in any additional costs, expenses or risk to Lender that are not reimbursed by Borrower and (b) would not be disadvantageous in any other respect to Lender as determined by Lender in its sole discretion.
2.2.5 Default Rate. In the event that, and for so long as, any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Outstanding Principal Balance and, to the extent permitted by law, all accrued and unpaid interest in respect of the Loan and any other amounts due pursuant to the Loan Documents, shall accrue interest at the Default Rate, calculated from the date such payment was due without regard to any grace or cure periods contained herein.
2.2.6 Usury Savings. This Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents are subject to the express condition that at no time shall Borrower be obligated or required to pay interest on the principal balance of the Loan at a rate which could subject Lender to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate. If, by the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Borrower is at any time required or obligated to
28
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 of interest from time to time in effect and applicable to the Loan for so long as the Loan is outstanding.
2.2.7 Interest Rate Cap Agreement.
(a) On or before the earlier to occur of (y) September 1, 2004 or (z) the date which is two (2) weeks prior to the printing of the preliminary prospectus in connection with a Securitization (which date shall be provided to Borrower at least five (5) Business Days in advance thereof), Borrower shall enter into an Interest Rate Cap Agreement with a LIBOR strike price equal to the Strike Price. The Interest Rate Cap Agreement (i) shall be in a form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender, (ii) shall be with an Acceptable Counterparty, (iii) shall direct such Acceptable Counterparty to deposit directly into the Property Account any amounts due Borrower under such Interest Rate Cap Agreement so long as any portion of the Debt exists, provided, that, the Debt shall be deemed to exist if the Property is transferred by judicial or non-judicial foreclosure or deed-in-lieu thereof, (iv) shall be for a period equal to the term of the Loan, and (v) shall have an initial notional amount equal to the principal balance of the Loan. Borrower shall collaterally assign to Lender, pursuant to the Collateral Assignment of Interest Rate Cap Agreement, all of its right, title and interest to receive any and all payments under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, and shall deliver to Lender an executed counterpart of such Interest Rate Cap Agreement (which shall, by its terms, authorize the assignment to Lender and require that payments be deposited directly into the Property Account).
(b) Borrower shall comply with all of its obligations under the terms and provisions of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement. All amounts paid by the Counterparty under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement to Borrower or Lender shall be deposited immediately into the Property Account. Borrower shall take all actions reasonably requested by Lender to enforce Lender’s rights under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement in the event of a default by the Counterparty and shall not waive, amend or otherwise modify any of its rights thereunder.
(c) In the event of any downgrade below “A+” (or its equivalent), withdrawal or qualification of the rating of the Counterparty by S&P or Xxxxx’x, Borrower shall replace the Interest Rate Cap Agreement with a Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement not later than ten (10) Business Days following receipt of notice from Lender of such downgrade, withdrawal or qualification.
(d) In the event that Borrower fails to purchase and deliver to Lender the Interest Rate Cap Agreement or fails to maintain the Interest Rate Cap Agreement in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement, Lender may purchase the Interest Rate Cap Agreement and the cost incurred by Lender in purchasing such Interest Rate Cap Agreement
29
shall be paid by Borrower to Lender with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date such cost was incurred by Lender until such cost is reimbursed by Borrower to Lender.
(e) In connection with the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, Borrower shall obtain and deliver to Lender an opinion from counsel (which counsel may be in-house counsel for the Counterparty) for the Counterparty (upon which Lender and its successors and assigns may rely) which shall provide, in relevant part, that:
(i) | the Counterparty is duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation and has the organizational power and authority to execute and deliver, and to perform its obligations under, the Interest Rate Cap Agreement; |
(ii) | the execution and delivery of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement by the Counterparty, and any other agreement which the Counterparty has executed and delivered pursuant thereto, and the performance of its obligations thereunder have been and remain duly authorized by all necessary action and do not contravene any provision of its certificate of incorporation or by-laws (or equivalent organizational documents) or any law, regulation or contractual restriction binding on or affecting it or its property; |
(iii) | all consents, authorizations and approvals required for the execution and delivery by the Counterparty of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, and any other agreement which the Counterparty has executed and delivered pursuant thereto, and the performance of its obligations thereunder have been obtained and remain in full force and effect, all conditions thereof have been duly complied with, and no other action by, and no notice to or filing with any Governmental Authority or regulatory body is required for such execution, delivery or performance; and |
(iv) | the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, and any other agreement which the Counterparty has executed and delivered pursuant thereto, has been duly executed and delivered by the Counterparty and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Counterparty, enforceable against the Counterparty in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law). |
Section 2.3 Loan Payment.
2.3.1 Payments Generally. Borrower shall pay to Lender on each Payment Date the interest accrued on the Loan for the preceding Interest Period (the “Monthly Interest Payment”). The first interest accrual period hereunder shall commence on and include the
30
Closing Date and end on July 8, 2004. Each interest accrual period thereafter shall commence on the ninth (9th) day of each calendar month during the term of the Loan and shall end on and include the eighth (8th) day of the next occurring calendar month. For purposes of making payments hereunder, but not for purposes of calculating interest accrual periods, if the day on which such payment is due is not a Business Day, then amounts due on such date shall be due on the immediately preceding Business Day. With respect to payments of principal due on the Maturity Date, interest shall be payable at the Applicable Interest Rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, through and including the day immediately preceding such Maturity Date. All amounts due pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be payable without setoff, counterclaim, defense or any other deduction whatsoever.
2.3.2 Payment on Maturity Date. Borrower shall pay to Lender on the Maturity Date the Outstanding Principal Balance, all accrued and unpaid interest and all other amounts due hereunder and under the Note, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents.
2.3.3 Late Payment Charge. If any principal, interest or any other sums due under the Loan Documents, excluding the payment of principal due on the Maturity Date, is not paid by Borrower by the date on which it is due, Borrower shall pay to Lender upon demand an amount equal to the lesser of (a) two percent (2%) of such unpaid sum, and (b) 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; provided, however, that with respect to two (2) delinquent payments during the term of the Loan, as the same may be extended, no such late charge shall be payable provided such payment is made within five (5) days after the due date therefor and interest on such delinquent payments shall accrue at the Applicable Interest Rate calculated from the date such payment was due. Any such amount shall be secured by the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents to the extent permitted by applicable law.
2.3.4 Method and Place of Payment. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all payments and prepayments under this Agreement and the Note shall be made to Lender not later than 1:00 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 Lender’s office or as otherwise directed by Lender, and any funds received by Lender after such time shall, for all purposes hereof, be deemed to have been paid on the next succeeding Business Day. Any prepayments required to be made hereunder or under the Cash Management Agreement shall be deemed to have been timely made for the purposes of this Section 2.3.4.
Section 2.4 Prepayments.
2.4.1 Voluntary Prepayments. (a) The Loan may be prepaid in whole only (but not in part) on any Payment Date, provided, that, with respect to any such prepayment (i) the Borrower shall give Lender thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of the Borrower’s intention to prepay the Loan in full, (ii) subject to the terms of Section 2.4.1(b) below, all outstanding Other Loans together with all Other Borrower Obligations shall simultaneously be repaid in full subject to and in accordance with the applicable Other Borrower Loan Documents and (iii) Borrower pays Lender, in addition to the Outstanding Principal Balance, (A) all interest as required herein; and (B) all other Debt payable under this Agreement, the Note, and the other Loan Documents,
31
including, but not limited to the Breakage Costs and all of Lender’s costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by Lender in connection with such prepayment. Borrower shall have the right to withdraw any prepayment notice at any time prior to such prepayment provided that Borrower shall pay to Lender all of Lender’s reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with the receipt of such notices.
(b) Notwithstanding the terms of clause (ii) of Section 2.4.1(a) above, the Loan may be prepaid in whole only (but not in part) if the Property is sold in a bona fide arms-length, all-cash sale to a Person which is not a Related Party, provided, that:
(i) | the Borrower complies with the terms of Section 2.4.1(a) above (excluding clause (ii) thereof) in respect of such prepayment; |
(ii) | the amount of such prepayment shall equal the Adjusted Release Amount; |
(iii) | no Release Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing hereunder or under any other Loan Document; |
(iv) | after giving effect to such release (including the amount prepaid in Section 2.4.1(a) above), the Aggregate Debt Service Coverage Ratio of the remaining Other Properties shall equal or exceed the greater of (i) the Aggregate Debt Service Coverage Ratio for the twelve (12) full calendar months immediately preceding the Closing Date, or (ii) the Aggregate Debt Service Coverage Ratio for the twelve (12) full calendar months immediately preceding the release of the Property for which financial statements are available; |
(v) | In the event Borrower is the owner of an Other Property, the Property shall be conveyed to a Person other than Borrower; |
(vi) | The Adjusted Release Amount paid to Lender in connection with any such release shall be applied (i) first, to reduce the Debt to zero, and (ii) second, pro rata to the Other Loans, immediately following such release. In connection with the release of the Mortgage and Second Mortgage as permitted by this Section 2.5, Borrower shall submit to Lender, not less than ten (10) days prior to the date on which Borrower intends to pay the Loan in full, a release of Lien (and related Loan Documents), for the Property for execution by Lender. Such release shall be in a form appropriate in the jurisdiction in which the Property is located and that would be satisfactory to a prudent lender; and |
(vii) | Borrower shall have delivered to Lender an Officer’s Certificate in form reasonably acceptable to Lender certifying that no Release Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing hereunder, under the Other Loan Documents or under the Other Borrower Loan Documents. |
32
In the event any sums payable pursuant to Section 2.4 of the Other Loan Agreements are applied to reduce the Outstanding Principal Balance of this Loan, no Prepayment Premium shall be payable in connection therewith.
2.4.2 Mandatory Prepayments. On the next occurring Payment Date following the date on which Lender actually receives any Net Proceeds, if Lender is not obligated to make such Net Proceeds available to Borrower for Restoration, Borrower shall prepay, or authorize Lender to apply Net Proceeds as a prepayment of, the Outstanding Principal Balance in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of such Net Proceeds. So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no Prepayment Premium shall be due in connection with any prepayment made pursuant to this Section 2.4.2 (such fee being expressly waived).
2.4.3 Prepayments After Default. If after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, payment of all or any part of the Debt is tendered by Borrower or otherwise recovered by Lender (including through application of any Reserve Funds), such tender or recovery shall be deemed (a) to have been made on the next occurring Payment Date together with the Monthly Interest Payment, and (b) to be a voluntary prepayment by Borrower and Borrower shall pay, in addition to the Debt, an amount equal to the greater of (i) five percent (5%) of the Outstanding Principal Balance or the portion thereof being prepaid or satisfied, and (ii) the Prepayment Premium, if any.
Section 2.5 Release of Property. (a) Except as set forth in this Section 2.5, no repayment or prepayment of all or any portion of the Loan shall cause, give rise to a right to require, or otherwise result in, the release of the Liens of the Mortgage or the Second Mortgage.
(b) Lender shall promptly, upon the written request and at the sole cost and expense of Borrower, upon payment in full of all of the Debt in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Note, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and subject to and upon compliance with the terms of Section 2.4.1(b) hereof, release the Lien of the Mortgage and the Second Mortgage on the Property.
(c) In connection with the release of the Mortgage and the Second Mortgage as permitted by this Section 2.5, Borrower shall submit to Lender, not less than ten (10) days prior to the Payment Date on which Borrower intends to pay the Loan in full, releases of Lien (and related Loan Documents), for the Property for execution by Lender. Such releases shall be in a form appropriate in the jurisdiction in which the Property is located and that would be satisfactory to a prudent lender.
Section 2.6 Cash Management.
2.6.1 Property Account.
(a) Borrower shall establish and maintain a segregated Eligible Account (the “Property Account”) with the Property Account Bank maintained under Borrower’s control and direction during any period other than while a Sweep Event continues. Borrower (i) hereby grants to Lender a first priority security interest in the Property Account and all deposits at any time contained therein and the proceeds thereof, and (ii) following and during any Sweep Event will take all actions necessary to maintain in favor of Lender a perfected first priority security
33

In addition, on or before the Closing Date, Borrower shall, or shall cause Manager to, deliver irrevocable written instructions (each a “Payment Direction Letter”) to each of the credit card companies or credit card clearing banks with which Borrower or Manager has entered into merchant’s agreements and to each account debtor of Borrower to deliver all Rents payable with respect to the Property directly to the Property Account.
(c) During any Sweep Event, the Property Account shall be maintained under Lender’s sole control, dominion and direction.

(d) Upon request of Lender, Borrower shall deliver to Lender such evidence as Lender may reasonably request to evidence that Borrower is complying with the provisions of Section 2.6.1.

(e) There are no accounts, other than the Property Account, maintained by Borrower or Manager or any other Person into which Rents from the Property are initially deposited.

(f) Borrower shall cause all payments made under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement or any Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement with respect to the Loan to be deposited into the Property Account.

34
2.6.3 Cash Management Account.
(a) Borrower shall cooperate with Lender and Servicer in connection with the establishment and maintenance of a segregated Eligible Account (the “Cash Management Account”) to be held by Servicer in trust for the benefit of Lender, which Cash Management Account shall be under the sole dominion and control of Lender. The Cash Management Account shall be entitled “Column Financial, Inc., as Lender, pursuant to Loan Agreement dated as of June 21, 2004—Cash Management Account.” Borrower hereby (i) grants to Lender a first priority security interest in the Cash Management Account and all deposits at any time contained therein and the proceeds thereof, and (ii) will take all actions necessary to maintain in favor of Lender a perfected first priority security interest in the Cash Management Account, including, without limitation, authorizing the filing of UCC-1 Financing Statements and continuations thereof. Borrower will not in any way alter or modify the Cash Management Account and will notify Lender of the account number thereof. Lender and Servicer shall have the sole right to make withdrawals from the Cash Management Account and all costs and expenses for establishing and maintaining the Cash Management Account shall be paid by Borrower.
(b) After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Sweep Event, on each Payment Date (or, if such Payment Date is not a Business Day, on the immediately preceding Business Day) all funds on deposit in the Cash Management Account shall be applied by Lender to the payment of the following items in the order indicated:
(i) | First, payments in respect of the Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 7.2 hereof; |
(ii) | Second, payment of the Monthly Interest Payment computed at the Applicable Interest Rate; |

(v) | Fifth, to the extent that, in respect of any Other Loan, there is, or Lender reasonably determines that there will be, a shortfall (each an “Other Loan Shortfall”) during the relevant calendar month in the items referred to (x) in clauses (i)-(vi) of Section 2.6.3(b) of the applicable Other Loan Agreements, funds sufficient to pay such Other Loan Shortfall; |

35
(viii) | Eighth, funds sufficient to pay Operating Expenses paid, or to be paid to, an Affiliated Manager for the next calendar month pursuant to the Approved Annual Budget; and |
(ix) | Lastly, and so long as an Event of Default does not exist, payment of any excess amounts (“Excess Cash Flow”) to Borrower. |
(c) The insufficiency of funds on deposit in the Cash Management Account shall not relieve Borrower of 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.
(d) All funds on deposit in the Cash Management Account following the occurrence of an Event of Default may be applied by Lender in such order and priority as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion.
2.6.4 Payments Received Under the Cash Management Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower’s obligations with respect to the monthly payment of Debt Service and amounts due for the Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds, FF&E Reserve Funds, Required Repair Funds and any other payment reserves established pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be deemed satisfied to the extent sufficient amounts are deposited in the Cash Management Account to satisfy such obligations on the dates each such payment is required, regardless of whether any of such amounts are so applied by Lender.
2.6.5 Application After Event of Default. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.6, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender, at its option, may withdraw the Reserve Funds and any other funds of Borrower then in the possession of Lender, Servicer or Property Account Bank and apply such funds to the items for which the Reserve Funds were established or to the payment of the Obligations and the Other Borrower Obligations in such order, proportion and priority as Lender may determine in its sole discretion. Lender’s right to withdraw and apply any of the foregoing funds shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies provided to Lender under the Loan Documents.
2.6.6 Quarterly Net Cash Flow Tests. In order to ascertain whether or not a Net Cash Flow Failure has occurred or has terminated, Lender shall determine the Net Cash Flow as of the last day of each calendar quarter throughout the term of the Loan (each, a “Quarterly Net Cash Flow Test”), beginning September, 2004, each of which Quarterly Net Cash Flow Tests and the determinations made with respect thereto shall be based on the information delivered in accordance with Section 5.1.11 hereof, together with any other evidence which Lender may reasonably require to substantiate or explain the calculation of Net Cash Flow. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the information required under Section 5.1.11 hereof is not delivered, the Net Cash Flow shall be determined in Lender’s sole discretion.

(h) The liens created by the Substitute Loan Documents shall be first liens and prior security interests on the Substitute Property and the personal property related thereto (other than the Second Mortgage), subject only to such exceptions as Lender shall approve in its sole discretion.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower shall, in connection with, and as a condition to, a Substitution, pay the reasonable fees and expenses of Lender’s attorneys, the reasonable fees and expenses of Lender’s engineers, appraisers, construction consultants, insurance consultants and other due diligence consultants and contractors, recording charges, title insurance charges, and stamp and/or mortgage or similar taxes, transfer taxes.
39
(o) Lender shall have received such assurances and confirmations from the Rating Agencies that the Substitution shall not result in a downgrading, withdrawal or qualification of any rating assigned or the preliminary or indicative rating to be assigned to any securities issued in connection with any Securitization.
(p) Lender shall be satisfied that the Substitution shall not constitute a preference or fraudulent conveyance or that the Substitution is structured in such a manner as to avoid said risks.
(q) A Net Cash Flow Failure shall not be in effect on the Substitution Date.
(r) On or before the Substitution Date, all conditions precedent with respect to the Replaced Loan shall be satisfied with respect to the Substitute Loan, including, without limitation, delivery of Title Policies with respect to the Substitute Property.

Borrower is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction where it is required to be so qualified in connection with its properties, businesses and operations.

4.1.2 Proceedings. Borrower has taken all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents have been duly executed and delivered by or on behalf of Borrower and constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of Borrower enforceable against Borrower in accordance with their respective terms, subject only to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting rights of creditors generally, and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law).
4.1.3 No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by any Significant Party, as applicable, 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 pursuant to the terms of any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, partnership agreement, management agreement or other agreement or instrument to which Borrower is a party or by which any of Borrower’s property or assets is subject, nor will such action result in any violation of the provisions of any statute or any order, rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over Borrower or any of Borrower’s properties or assets, and any consent, approval, authorization, order, registration or qualification of or with any such Governmental Authority required for the execution, delivery and performance by any Significant Party, as applicable, of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents has been obtained and is in full force and effect.
4.1.4 Litigation. There are no actions, suits or proceedings at law or in equity by or before any Governmental Authority or other agency now pending or, to Borrower’s knowledge, threatened against or affecting any Significant Party or the Property, which actions, suits or proceedings, if determined against such Significant Party or the Property, are reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.
4.1.5 Agreements. Borrower is not a party to any agreement or instrument or subject to any restriction which might materially and adversely affect Borrower or the Property, or Borrower’s business, properties or assets, operations or condition, financial or otherwise. Borrower is not in default in any material respect in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions contained in any agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which Borrower or the Property are bound. Borrower has no material financial obligation under any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement or other agreement or instrument to which Borrower is a party or by which Borrower or the Property is otherwise bound, other than (a) any obligations incurred in the ordinary course of the operation of the Property as permitted pursuant to clause (s) of the definition of “Special Purpose Entity” set forth in Section 1.1 hereof, (b) the obligations under the Loan Documents.
4.1.6 Title. (a) Borrower has good, marketable and insurable fee title to 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
44
Documents. The Permitted Encumbrances in the aggregate do not materially and adversely affect the value, operation or use of the Property (as currently used) or Borrower’s ability to repay the Loan. The Mortgage and the Assignment of Leases, when 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 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), 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. There are no claims for payment for work, labor or materials affecting the Property which are or may become a Lien prior to, or of equal priority with, the Liens created by the Loan Documents.
(b) The Second Mortgage, when properly recorded in the appropriate public records, together with any Uniform Commercial Code financing statements required to be filed in connection therewith, will create (i) a valid, perfected second priority Lien on the Property, subject only to Permitted Encumbrances and the Lien of the Mortgage and (ii) perfected security interests in and to, and perfected collateral assignments of, all Personal Property (including the Leases), all in accordance with the terms thereof, in each case subject only to the Mortgage and any applicable Permitted Encumbrances to the extent that perfection occurs through the recording of a Mortgage or the filing of a financing statement.
4.1.7 Solvency. Borrower has (a) not entered into the transaction contemplated by this Agreement or executed the Note, this Agreement or any other Loan Documents with the actual intent to hinder, delay or defraud any creditor and (b) received reasonably equivalent value in exchange for its obligations under such Loan Documents. After giving effect to the Loan, the fair saleable value of Borrower’s assets exceeds and will, immediately following the making of the Loan, exceed Borrower’s total liabilities, including, without limitation, subordinated, unliquidated, disputed and contingent liabilities. The fair saleable value of Borrower’s assets is and will, immediately following the making of the Loan, be greater than Borrower’s probable liabilities, including the maximum amount of its contingent liabilities on its debts as such debts become absolute and matured. Borrower’s assets do not and, immediately following the making of the Loan will not, constitute unreasonably small capital to carry out its business as conducted or as proposed to be conducted. Borrower does not intend to, and does not believe that it will, incur debts and liabilities (including contingent liabilities and other commitments) beyond its ability to pay such debts and liabilities as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be received by Borrower and the amounts to be payable on or in respect of the obligations of Borrower). No petition in bankruptcy has been filed against Borrower or any of its constituent Persons, and neither Borrower nor any of its constituent Persons has ever made an assignment for the benefit of creditors or taken advantage of any insolvency act for the benefit of debtors. Neither Borrower nor any of its 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 assets or properties, and Borrower has no knowledge of any Person contemplating the filing of any such petition against it or any of its constituent Persons.
45
4.1.8 Full and Accurate Disclosure. No statement of fact made by Borrower in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make statements contained herein or therein not misleading.

Borrower is not an “employee benefit plan,” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, subject to Title I of ERISA, and none of the assets of Borrower constitutes or will constitute “plan assets” of one or more such plans within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101.

Except for Permitted Encumbrances, Borrower does not have any contingent liabilities, liabilities for taxes, unusual forward or long-term commitments or unrealized or anticipated losses from any unfavorable commitments that are known to Borrower and reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Property or the operation thereof as a hotel, except as referred to or reflected in said financial statements.

4.1.18 Enforceability. The Loan Documents are not subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense by Borrower, Principal or Guarantor, including the defense of usury, nor would the operation of any of the terms of the Loan Documents, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render the Loan Documents unenforceable (subject to principles of equity and bankruptcy, insolvency and other laws generally affecting creditors’ rights and the enforcement of debtors’ obligations), and Borrower, Principal and Guarantor have not asserted any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense with respect thereto.
4.1.19 No Prior Assignment. There are no prior assignments of the Leases or any portion of the Rents due and payable or to become due and payable which are presently outstanding.

Other than as disclosed in the “Engineering Report,” there exists no structural or other material defects or damages in the Property, whether latent or otherwise, and Borrower has not received notice from any insurance company or bonding company of any defects or inadequacies in the Property, or any part thereof, which would adversely affect the insurability of the same or cause the imposition of extraordinary premiums or charges thereon or of any termination or threatened termination of any policy of insurance or bond.
4.1.25 Boundaries. All of the Improvements which were included in determining the appraised value of the Property lie wholly within the boundaries and building restriction lines of the Property, and no improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon the Property, and no easements or other encumbrances upon the Property encroach upon any of the Improvements, so as to affect the value or marketability of the Property except those which are insured against by the Title Insurance Policy.

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, Borrower hereby covenants and agrees with Lender that:
5.1.1 Existence; Compliance with Legal Requirements. Borrower 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 and the Property. There shall never be committed by Borrower, and Borrower shall not permit any other Person in occupancy of or involved with the 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. Borrower hereby covenants and agrees not to commit, permit or suffer to exist any act or omission affording such right of forfeiture. Borrower shall at all times reasonably maintain, preserve and protect all material franchises and material trade names, preserve all the remainder of its property used or useful in the conduct of its business, and shall keep the Property in reasonably 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 Mortgage. Borrower 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 notice to Lender, Borrower, 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 Borrower or the Property or any alleged violation of any Legal Requirement, provided, that: (a) no Release Default or Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured; (b) Borrower is permitted to do so under the provisions of any mortgage or deed of trust superior in lien to the Mortgage; (c) such proceeding shall be permitted under and be conducted in accordance with the provisions of any instrument to which Borrower is subject and shall not constitute a default thereunder and such proceeding shall be conducted in accordance with all applicable statutes, laws and ordinances; (d) neither the Property nor any part thereof or interest therein will be in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost; (e) Borrower shall, upon final determination thereof, promptly comply with any such Legal Requirement determined to be valid or applicable or cure any violation of any Legal Requirement; (f) such proceeding shall suspend the enforcement of the contested Legal Requirement against Borrower and/or the Property; and (g) Borrower 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 imminent danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost.
5.1.2 Taxes and Other Charges. Borrower 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 obligation to directly pay Taxes shall be suspended for so long as adequate reserves for same are maintained pursuant to Section 7.2 hereof. Borrower shall furnish to Lender receipts for the payment of the Taxes and the Other Charges prior to the date the same shall become delinquent provided, however, Borrower is not required to furnish such receipts for payment of Taxes in the event that such Taxes have been paid by Lender pursuant to Section 7.2 hereof. Borrower shall not suffer and shall promptly
52
cause to be paid and discharged any Lien or charge whatsoever which may be or become a Lien or charge against the Property and that is prohibited in accordance with Section 5.2.2 hereof, and shall pay for all utility services provided to the Property prior to delinquency. After prior notice to Lender, Borrower, 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, Other Charges or other Liens, provided, that: (a) no Release Default or Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured; (b) Borrower is permitted to contest same under the provisions of any mortgage or deed of trust superior in lien to the Mortgage; (c) such proceeding shall be permitted under and be conducted in accordance with the provisions of any other instrument to which Borrower is subject and shall not constitute a default thereunder and such proceeding shall be conducted in accordance with all applicable statutes, laws and ordinances; (d) neither the Property nor any part thereof or interest therein will be in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost; (e) Borrower 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; (f) such proceeding shall suspend the collection of such contested Taxes or Other Charges from the Property; and (g) Borrower 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. Lender may pay over any such other security or part thereof held by Lender to the claimant entitled thereto at any time when, in the judgment of Lender, the entitlement of such claimant is established or the Property (or any 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 or the Second Mortgage being primed by any related Lien.

(ix) | if the Property is or becomes a legal “non-conforming” use, ordinance or law coverage and insurance coverage to compensate for the cost of demolition or rebuilding of the undamaged portion of the Property along with any reduced value and the increased cost of construction in amounts as requested by Lender; |
(x) | at all times during the term of the Loan, the commercial property and business income insurance required under Sections 6.1(a)(i) and (iii) above shall cover perils of foreign terrorism and acts of foreign terrorism and Borrower shall maintain commercial property and business income insurance for loss resulting from perils and acts of foreign terrorism on terms (including amounts) reasonably acceptable to Lender for so long as such coverage is (A) commercially available and (B) provided that such insurance does not exceed $100,000.00 in the aggregate for the Property and the Other Properties. If the cost of such terrorism insurance exceeds $100,000.00 in the aggregate for the Property and the Other Properties, Borrower shall obtain the maximum amount of acceptable insurance possible for an amount equal to $100,000.00 in the aggregate for the Property and the Other Properties; and |
(xi) | upon sixty (60) days’ 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 properties 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) shall be obtained under valid and enforceable policies (collectively, the “Policies” or in the singular, the “Policy”), 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 authorized to do business in the State and having a claims paying ability rating of “A” or better. The Policies described in Section 6.1(a) (other than those strictly limited to liability protection) shall designate Lender as loss payee. Not less than ten (10) days prior to the expiration dates of the Policies theretofore furnished to Lender, certificates of insurance evidencing the Policies accompanied by evidence satisfactory to Lender of payment of the premiums due thereunder (the “Insurance Premiums”), shall be delivered by Borrower to Lender.
(c) Any blanket insurance Policy shall specifically allocate to the Property the amount of coverage from time to time required hereunder and shall otherwise provide the same protection as would a separate Policy insuring only the Property in compliance with the provisions of Section 6.1(a).
(d) All Policies provided for or contemplated by Section 6.1(a), except for the Policy referenced in Section 6.1(a)(v), shall name Borrower as the insured and Lender (and its
72
affiliates) as the additional insured, as its interests may appear, and in the case of property damage, boiler and machinery, flood and earthquake insurance, shall contain a so-called New York standard non-contributing mortgagee clause in favor of Lender providing that the loss thereunder shall be payable to Lender.
(e) All Policies provided for in Section 6.1 shall contain clauses or endorsements to the effect that:
(i) | no act or negligence of Borrower, or anyone acting for Borrower, or of any tenant or other occupant, or failure to comply with the provisions of any Policy, which might otherwise result in a forfeiture of the insurance or any part thereof, shall in any way affect the validity or enforceability of the insurance insofar as Lender is concerned; |
(ii) | the Policies shall not be materially changed (other than to increase the coverage provided thereby) or canceled without at least thirty (30) days’ notice (or ten (10) days’ notice with respect to non-payment) to Lender and any other party named therein as an additional insured; |
(iii) | the issuers thereof shall give notice to Lender if the Policies have not been renewed fifteen (15) days prior to its expiration; and |
(iv) | Lender shall not be liable for any Insurance Premiums thereon or subject to any assessments thereunder. |
(f) If at any time Lender is not in receipt of written evidence that all Policies are in full force and effect, Lender shall give notice (which notice may be oral) thereof to Borrower and Borrower shall within two (2) Business Days of such notice, deliver such written evidence as Lender shall reasonably require that all policies are in full force and effect. If Borrower does not provide Lender with such evidence that all Policies are in full force and effect within two (2) Business Days of Lender’s notice, Lender shall have the right, without further notice to Borrower, 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. 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 shall (a) give prompt notice of such damage to Lender, and (b) promptly commence and diligently prosecute the completion of the Restoration so that the Property resembles, as nearly as possible, the condition the Property was in immediately prior to such Casualty, with such alterations as may be reasonably approved by Lender and otherwise in accordance with Section 6.4. Borrower shall pay all costs of such Restoration whether or not such costs are covered by insurance. Lender may, but shall not be
73
obligated to make proof of loss if not made promptly by Borrower. In addition, Lender may approve (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) any settlement 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 Five Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($500,000.00) and Borrower shall deliver to Lender all instruments required by Lender to permit such participation.
Section 6.3 Condemnation. Borrower shall promptly give Lender notice of the actual or threatened commencement of any proceeding in respect of Condemnation and shall deliver to Lender copies of any and all papers served in connection with such proceedings. Lender may participate in any such proceedings, and Borrower shall from time to time deliver to Lender all instruments requested by Lender to permit such participation. Borrower shall, at its expense, diligently prosecute any such proceedings, and shall consult with Lender, its attorneys and experts, and cooperate with them in the carrying on or defense of any such proceedings. Notwithstanding any taking by any public or quasi-public authority through Condemnation or otherwise (including, but not limited to, any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of the exercise of such taking), Borrower shall continue to perform the Obligations at the time and in the manner provided in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the Outstanding Principal Balance shall not be reduced until any Award shall have been actually received and applied by Lender, after the deduction of expenses of collection, to the reduction or discharge of the Obligations. Lender shall not be limited to the interest paid on the Award by the applicable Governmental Authority but shall be entitled to receive out of the Award interest at the rate or rates provided herein or in the Note. If the Property or any portion thereof is taken by a Governmental Authority, Borrower shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute Restoration and otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 6.4. If the Property is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Lender of the Award, Lender shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Note shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive the Award, or a portion thereof sufficient to pay the Debt.
Section 6.4 Restoration. The following provisions shall apply in connection with the Restoration:
(a) If the Net Proceeds shall be less than Five Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($500,000.00) and the costs of completing the Restoration shall be less than Five Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($500,000.00), 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) 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 Five Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($500,000.00) or the costs of completing the Restoration is equal to or greater than One Million and No/100 Dollars ($1,000,000.00), the Net Proceeds will be held by Lender and 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), (vi), (ix) and (x) as a result of such damage or destruction, after deduction
74
of its 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 Lender’s reasonable costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable counsel costs and fees), if any, in collecting same (“Condemnation Proceeds”), whichever the case may be.
(i) | The Net Proceeds shall be made available to Borrower for Restoration upon the approval of Lender in its sole discretion that 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 twenty-five percent (25%) 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 ten percent (10%) of the land constituting the Property is taken, and such land is located along the perimeter or periphery of the Property, and no material portion of the Improvements is located on such land;
(C) Borrower shall commence Restoration as soon as reasonably practicable (but in no event later than sixty (60) days after such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, occurs) and shall diligently pursue the same to satisfactory completion (it being agreed that the development of Building Plans shall constitute commencement of the 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)(iii), if applicable, or (3) by other funds of Borrower;
(E) Lender shall be satisfied that Restoration will be completed on or before the earliest to occur of (1) three (3) months prior to the Maturity Date as the same is extended pursuant to Section 2.7 hereof (and if necessary to satisfy this requirement, the period set forth in Section 2.7 during which Borrower may exercise any option to extend the term of the Loan shall be extended to permit Borrower to exercise such extension option, but in no event more than twelve (12) months prior to the then Maturity Date, (2) such time as may be required under applicable Legal Requirements, or (3) the expiration of the insurance coverage referred to in Section 6.1(a)(iii) unless Borrower has deposited with Lender prior to the commencement of the Restoration sums sufficient after the expiration of such insurance to (x) operate the Property in a manner consistent with the manner in which the Property was operated immediately prior to such Casualty or
75
Condemnation and (y) pay all sums as they become due under the Loan in a timely manner;
(F) the Property and the use thereof after Restoration will be in compliance with and permitted under all applicable Legal Requirements;
(G) Restoration shall be done and completed by Borrower 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) upon completion of the Restoration, the projected Net Operating Income for the following twelve (12) month period as reasonably estimated by Lender, shall be sufficient to achieve a Debt Service Coverage Ratio of at least 1.50 to 1.00 (and for purposes of this clause (I) only, the Debt Service Coverage Ratio shall be calculated at the interest rate computed in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement at a deemed annual rate of 8.20%);
(J) Borrower shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Lender a signed detailed budget approved in writing by Borrower’s architect or engineer stating the entire cost of completing the Restoration; and
(K) the Net Proceeds together with any cash or cash equivalent deposited by Borrower with Lender are sufficient in Lender’s reasonable discretion to cover the cost of Restoration.
(ii) | The Net Proceeds shall be paid directly to Lender for deposit in an interest-bearing account and, until disbursed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4(b), shall constitute additional security for the Debt and the Other Obligations. The Net Proceeds shall be disbursed by Lender to, or as directed by, Borrower from time to time during the course of 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 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; provided, however, Lender shall disburse to, or as directed by, Borrower up to ten percent (10%) of the Net Proceeds received by Lender to fund deposits to contractors, subcontractors and/or materialmen when |
76
necessary, to secure timely performance of the Restoration, due to the occurrence of a catastrophic event such as a hurricane or earthquake, upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to Lender that such deposits are required to be paid. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender shall have no obligation under this paragraph unless and until Net Proceeds have been received by it and Borrower has complied with the provisions of the preceding sentence. |
(iii) | All plans and specifications required in connection with the Restoration shall be subject to prior review and reasonable acceptance in all respects by Lender and by an independent consulting engineer selected by Lender (the “Casualty Consultant”). In connection with the delivery of the plans and specifications to Lender and/or Casualty Consultant by Borrower, if Borrower marks such delivery with a legend marked in not less than fourteen (14) point bold face type, underlined, in all capital letters “ATTACHED PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS DEEMED APPROVED IF NO RESPONSE WITHIN FIFTEEN (15) BUSINESS DAYS”, and Lender and/or the Casualty Consultant fails to respond to the delivery of such plans and specifications within such fifteen (15) Business Day period, Lender shall be deemed to have approved such Plans and Specifications. 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 Restoration including, without limitation, reasonable counsel fees and disbursements and the reasonable Casualty Consultant’s fees, shall be paid by 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 work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, minus the Casualty Retainage. The term “Casualty Retainage” shall mean, as to each contractor, subcontractor or materialman engaged in the Restoration, 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 Restoration has been fifty percent (50%) completed, at which point no additional Retainage shall be required (i.e., upon completion of the Restoration the Retainage shall equal 5% of the cost of the work). |
77
The Casualty Retainage shall in no event, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above in this Section 6.4(b), be less than the amount actually held back by Borrower from contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration. The Casualty Retainage shall not be released until the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that 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 Authorities, and Lender receives evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that the costs of 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, and, provided that the State in which the Property is located is a jurisdiction in which the priority of the Lien of the Mortgage will not be affected by intervening mechanic’s liens, the Lender receives an update to the Title Insurance Policy indicating the continued priority of the Lien of the Mortgage. 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 reasonably estimated by the Casualty Consultant to be incurred in connection with the completion of the Restoration, Borrower shall deposit the deficiency (the “Net Proceeds Deficiency”) with Lender before any further disbursement of the Net Proceeds shall be made. The Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender shall be held by Lender and shall be disbursed for costs actually incurred in connection with the Restoration on the same conditions applicable to the disbursement |
78
of the Net Proceeds, and until so disbursed pursuant to this Section 6.4(b) shall constitute additional security for the Debt and the Other Obligations. |
(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 Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4(b), and the receipt by Lender of evidence satisfactory to Lender that all costs incurred in connection with the Restoration have been paid in full, shall be remitted by Lender to Borrower, provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and shall be continuing. |
(c) All Net Proceeds not required (i) to be made available for Restoration, or (ii) to be returned to Borrower as excess Net Proceeds pursuant to Section 6.4(b)(vii) may be retained and applied by Lender in accordance with Section 2.4.2 hereof toward the payment of the Outstanding Principal Balance whether or not then due and payable in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall deem proper, or, in the sole 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 sole discretion.
(d) In the event of foreclosure of the Mortgage, or other transfer of title to the Property in extinguishment in whole or in part of the Debt, all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to the Policies that are not blanket Policies then in force concerning 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) Intentionally Omitted.
ARTICLE 7
RESERVE FUNDS
Section 7.1 Required Repair Funds.
7.1.1 Deposits. Borrower shall perform the repairs at the Property as more particularly set forth on Schedule II hereto (such repairs hereinafter collectively referred to as “Required Repairs”). Borrower shall complete the Required Repairs on or before the required deadline for each repair as set forth on Schedule II hereto, as the same may be extended due to Unavoidable Delays. It shall be an Event of Default under this Agreement if (a) Borrower does not complete the Required Repairs by the required deadline for each repair as set forth on Schedule II (as the same may be extended by Unavoidable Delays), or (b) Borrower does not satisfy each condition contained in Section 7.1.2 hereof. Upon the occurrence of such an Event of Default, Lender, at its option, may withdraw all Required Repair Funds from the Required Repair Account and Lender may apply such funds either to completion of the Required Repairs. Lender’s right to withdraw and apply Required Repair Funds shall be in addition to all other
79
rights and remedies provided to Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. On the Closing Date, Borrower shall deposit with Lender the amount set forth on such Schedule II hereto to perform the Required Repairs multiplied by one hundred twenty-five percent (125%). Amounts so deposited with Lender shall be held by Lender in accordance with Section 7.5 hereof. Amounts so deposited shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrower’s “Required Repair Funds” and the account in which such amounts are held shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrower’s “Required Repair Account.”
7.1.2 Release of Required Repair Funds. (a) Lender shall disburse to Borrower the Required Repair Funds from the Required Repair Account from time to time, but not more frequently than once in any thirty (30) day period, upon satisfaction by Borrower of each of the following conditions with respect to each disbursement: (i) Borrower shall submit a written request for payment to Lender at least fifteen (15) days prior to the date on which Borrower requests such payment be made, which request specifies the Required Repairs to be paid, (ii) on the date such request is received by Lender and on the date such payment is to be made, no Release Default or Event of Default shall exist and remain uncured, (iii) Lender shall have received an Officer’s Certificate (A) stating that all Required Repairs to be funded by the requested disbursement have been completed in a good and workmanlike manner and in accordance with all applicable federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations, such Officer’s Certificate to be accompanied by a copy of any license, permit or other approval by any Governmental Authority required to commence and/or complete the Required Repairs, (B) identifying each Person that supplied materials or labor in connection with the Required Repairs to be funded by the requested disbursement, and (C) stating that each such Person has been paid in full or will be paid in full upon such disbursement for work completed and/or materials furnished to date, and, if the request for disbursement exceeds $100,000 such Officer’s Certificate to be accompanied by lien waivers or other evidence of payment satisfactory to Lender and the Title Company, (iv) Lender shall have received a title search indicating that the Property is free from all liens, claims and other encumbrances not previously approved by Lender, (v) Lender shall have received such other evidence as Lender shall reasonably request that the Required Repairs to be funded by the requested disbursement have been completed and are paid for or will be paid upon such disbursement to Borrower. Lender shall not be required to make disbursements from the Required Repair Account unless such requested disbursement is in an amount greater than $5,000 (or a lesser amount if the total amount in the Required Repair Account is less than $5,000, 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 7.1.2.
(b) Nothing in this Section 7.1.2 shall (i) make Lender responsible for performing or completing any Required Repairs; (ii) require Lender to expend funds in addition to the Required Repairs Funds to complete any Required Repairs; (iii) obligate Lender to proceed with any Required Repairs; or (iv) obligate Lender to demand from Borrower additional sums to complete any Required Repairs.
(c) Borrower shall permit Lender and Lender’s agents and representatives (including Lender’s engineer, architect or inspector) or third parties to enter onto the Property during normal business hours (subject to the rights of tenants under their Leases) to inspect the progress of any Required Repairs and all materials being used in connection therewith and to
80
examine all plans and shop drawings relating to such Required Repairs, such inspections to be made with minimal interference with the conduct of Tenant’s business. Borrower shall cause all contractors and subcontractors to cooperate with Lender or Lender’s representatives or such other Persons described above in connection with inspections described in this Section 7.1.2(c).
(d) If a disbursement will exceed $100,000.00, Lender may require an inspection of the Property at Borrower’s expense prior to making a disbursement of Required Repairs Funds in order to verify completion of the Required Repairs for which reimbursement is sought. Lender may require that such inspection be conducted by an appropriate independent qualified professional selected by Lender and may require a certificate of completion by an independent qualified professional architect acceptable to Lender prior to the disbursement of Required Repairs Funds. Borrower shall pay the reasonable expense of the inspection as required hereunder, whether such inspection is conducted by Lender or by an independent qualified professional architect.
(e) In addition to any insurance required under the Loan Documents, Borrower shall provide or cause to be provided worker’s compensation insurance, builder’s risk, and public liability insurance and other insurance to the extent required under applicable law in connection with the Required Repairs. All such policies shall be in form and amount reasonably satisfactory to Lender.
7.1.3 Balance in Required Repair Account. The insufficiency of any balance in the Required Repair Account shall not relieve Borrower from its obligation to perform the Required Repairs in a good and workmanlike manner and in accordance with all Legal Requirements.
Section 7.2 Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds. On the date hereof, Borrower shall deposit with Lender $288,821.12 on account of the Taxes next coming due and $167,865.73 on account of the Insurance Premiums next coming due. Additionally, Borrower shall pay to Lender on each Payment Date (a) one-twelfth of the Taxes that Lender estimates will be payable during the next ensuing twelve (12) months in order to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Taxes at least thirty (30) days prior to their respective due dates, and (b) one-twelfth 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 (the foregoing amounts deposited with Lender on the date hereof and in clauses (a) and (b) above are hereinafter called the “Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds”). The Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds and the payment of the monthly Debt Service, shall be added together and shall be paid as an aggregate sum by Borrower to Lender. Lender will apply the Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds to payments of Taxes and Insurance Premiums required to be made by Borrower pursuant to Section 5.1.2 hereof 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) 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. If the amount of the Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds shall exceed the amounts due for Taxes and Insurance Premiums pursuant to Section 5.1.2 hereof, Lender shall,
81
following written request by Borrower, promptly return any excess to Borrower. Any amount remaining in the Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds after the Debt has been paid in full shall be returned to Borrower. In allocating such excess, Lender may deal with the Person shown on the records of Lender to be the owner of the Property. If at any time Lender reasonably determines that the Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds are not or will not be sufficient to pay Taxes and Insurance Premiums by the dates set forth in (a) and (b) above, Lender shall notify Borrower of such determination and Borrower shall increase its monthly payments to Lender by the amount that Lender estimates is sufficient to make up the deficiency at least thirty (30) days prior to the due date of the Taxes and/or thirty (30) days prior to expiration of the Policies, as the case may be.
Section 7.3 FF&E Reserve.
7.3.1 FF&E Reserve Funds. Borrower shall deposit with Lender on the Closing Date one-twelfth of the amount of the Approved FF&E Budget (the “FF&E Reserve Deposit”). The amount of the FF&E Reserve Deposit shall be recalculated annually during the term of the Loan, as of January 1 of each year (or as soon thereafter as Gross Income from Operations for the preceding year shall be determined to Lender’s reasonable satisfaction) such that the FF&E Reserve Deposit shall be equal to four (4%) percent of the prior year’s Gross Income from Operations divided by twelve (12). Amounts so deposited shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrower’s “FF&E Reserve Funds” and the account in which such amounts are held shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrower’s “FF&E Reserve Account.” Within thirty (30) days following the end of each calendar quarter, Borrower shall provide to Lender a preliminary report with respect to the expenditures made by or on behalf of Borrower with respect to the Property for FF&E during such calendar quarter. In the event that the lesser of (a) the Approved Annual FF&E Budget for such calendar quarter (provided such Approved Annual FF&E Budget is not less than four (4%) percent of the Gross Income from Operations for such quarter) or (b) four (4%) percent of the actual Gross Income from Operations for such quarter, exceeds the actual expenditures made by Borrower for FF&E for such quarter, Borrower shall deposit an amount equal to any such difference in the FF&E Reserve Account to be held as FF&E Reserve Funds to be disbursed pursuant to the provisions of this Section 7.3. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the amount of any such deposit required to be made by Borrower shall be reduced by the amount of any actual expenditure made by Borrower for any FF&E completed prior to the calendar quarter in which such FF&E was scheduled to be made pursuant to the Approved Annual FF&E Budget. If the actual expenditures made by Borrower for FF&E exceeds the lesser of (x) the Approved Annual FF&E Budget for such calendar quarter (provided such Approved Annual FF&E Budget is not less than four (4%) percent of the Gross Income from Operations for such quarter) or (b) four (4%) percent of the actual Gross Income from Operations for such quarter, Lender shall reimburse Borrower for such excess to the extent that funds are available from the FF&E Reserve Account within fifteen (15) days from Borrower’s request. To the extent there are not sufficient funds in the FF&E Reserve Account to reimburse Borrower for any excess actual expenditures during such calendar quarter, such excess expenditures shall be added to the actual expenditures for the next calendar quarter in the determination of any amounts required to be deposited in the FF&E Reserve Account for such calendar quarter. In lieu of making any required deposits to the FF&E Reserve Account (other than the FF&E Reserve Deposit), Borrower may deliver to Lender a Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the amount that is required to be deposited into the FF&E Reserve Account.
82
Such Letter of Credit shall constitute additional collateral for the Loan and Lender shall have the right to draw down upon such Letter of Credit and apply the proceeds thereof for the purposes set forth in the Approved FF&E Budget if Borrower fails to do so within a reasonable time after notice from Lender, or Lender may apply such sums as otherwise provided in this Agreement following an Event of Default. All earnings or interest on the FF&E Reserve Funds shall be and become part of the FF&E Reserve Funds and shall be disbursed as provided in this Section 7.3.
7.3.2 Disbursements from FF&E Reserve Account. Lender shall make disbursements from the FF&E Reserve Account as provided in Section 7.3.1 following request by Borrower, and, if required by Lender for disbursements in excess of $100,000.00 for a single item, lien waivers and releases from all parties furnishing materials and/or services in connection with the requested payment. Lender may require an inspection of the Property at Borrower’s expense prior to making a monthly disbursement in order to verify completion of replacements and repairs of items in excess of $100,000.00 for which reimbursement is sought.
7.3.3 Balance in the FF&E Account. The insufficiency of any balance in the FF&E Reserve Account shall not relieve Borrower from its obligation to fulfill all preservation and maintenance covenants in the Loan Documents.
Section 7.4 Intentionally Omitted.
Section 7.5 Debt Service Reserve.
7.5.1 Debt Service Reserve Funds. Borrower shall deposit with Lender on the Closing Date the sum of $246,000.00 (the “Debt Service Reserve”). Amounts so deposited shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Debt Service Reserve Funds” and the account in which such amounts are held shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Debt Service Reserve Account.” The Debt Service Reserve will be available for use by Borrower in the event that Net Cash Flow from the Property for any month shall be less than Debt Service for such month. In lieu of making any required deposits to the Debt Service Reserve Account, Borrower may deliver to Lender a Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the amount that is required to be deposited into the Debt Service Reserve Account. All earnings or interest on the Debt Service Reserve Fund shall be and become part of such Debt Service Reserve Fund and shall be disbursed as provided in this Section 7.5.
In the event Net Cash Flow equals or exceeds $8,000,000.00 for the preceding twelve (12) consecutive month period, the Debt Service Reserve Funds will be released to Borrower following Borrower’s written request therefor.
7.5.2 Disbursements from Debt Service Reserve Account. Provided no Release Default or Event of Default exists, Lender shall make disbursements from the Debt Service Reserve Account as requested by Borrower to the extent such funds are available, no more frequently than once in any thirty (30) day period in the event that Net Cash Flow is less than Debt Service for such month.
7.5.3 Balance in the Debt Service Account. The insufficiency of any balance in the Debt Service Reserve Account shall not relieve Borrower from its obligation to pay the Monthly Interest Payment when due hereunder.

Section 7.6 Reserve Funds, Generally.
(a) Borrower grants to Lender a first-priority perfected security interest in all of the Reserve Funds and any and all monies now or hereafter deposited in each Reserve Fund as additional security for the Obligations. Until expended or applied in accordance herewith, the Reserve Funds shall constitute additional security for payment of the Obligations. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender may, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies available to Lender, apply any sums then present in any or all of the Reserve Funds to the reduction of the Outstanding Principal Balance 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.
(b) Borrower shall not, without obtaining the prior consent of Lender, further pledge, assign or grant any security interest in any Reserve Fund or the monies deposited therein or permit any lien or encumbrance to attach thereto, or any levy to be made thereon, or any UCC-1 Financing Statements, except those naming Lender as the secured party, to be filed with respect thereto.
(c) The Reserve Funds shall be held in an Eligible Account and shall bear interest at a money market rate selected by Lender. All interest or other earnings on a Reserve Fund shall be added to and become a part of such Reserve Fund and shall be disbursed in the same manner as other monies deposited in such Reserve Fund. Borrower shall have the right to direct Lender to invest sums on deposit in the Eligible Account in Permitted Investments provided (a) such investments are then regularly offered by Lender for accounts of this size, category and type, (b) such investments are permitted by applicable federal, state and local rules, regulations and laws, (c) the maturity date of the Permitted Investment is not later than the date on which the applicable Reserve Funds are required for payment of an obligation for which such Reserve Fund was created, and (d) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. Borrower shall be responsible for payment of any federal, state or local income or other tax applicable to the interest or income earned on the Reserve Funds. No other investments of the sums on deposit in the Reserve Funds shall be permitted except as set forth in this Section 7.5. Borrower shall bear all reasonable costs associated with the investment of the sums in the account in Permitted Investments. Such costs shall be deducted from the income or earnings on such investment, if any, and to the extent such income or earnings shall not be sufficient to pay such costs, such costs shall be paid by Borrower promptly on demand by Lender. Lender shall have no liability for the rate of return earned or losses incurred on the investment of the sums in Permitted Investments.
(d) Borrower shall indemnify Lender and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all actions, suits, claims, demands, liabilities, losses, damages, obligations and costs and expenses (including litigation costs and reasonable attorneys fees and expenses) arising from or in any way connected with the Reserve Funds or the performance of the obligations for which the Reserve Funds were established. Borrower shall assign to Lender all rights and claims Borrower may have against all Persons supplying labor, materials or other services which are to be paid from or secured by the Reserve Funds; provided, however, that Lender may not pursue any such right or claim unless an Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured.
84
(e) After payment in full of all sums evidenced by the Note and secured by the Mortgage and release or assignment by Lender of the lien of the Mortgage, Lender shall disburse to Borrower all amounts remaining in the Reserves.

(b) Upon the occurrence 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 and in and to the Property, including, without limitation, declaring the Obligations 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 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 all Other Obligations of Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall immediately and automatically become due and payable, without notice or demand, and Borrower hereby expressly waives 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 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. 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
87
in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower agrees that if an Event of Default is continuing (i) Lender shall not be 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 Obligations have been paid in full.
(b) Lender shall have the right from time to time to sever the Note and the other Loan Documents into one or more separate notes, mortgages and other security documents (the “Severed Loan Documents”) in such denominations as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion for purposes of evidencing and enforcing its rights and remedies provided hereunder. Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender from time to time, promptly after the request of Lender, a severance agreement and such other documents as Lender shall request in order to effect the severance described in the preceding sentence, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender. Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints Lender as its true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in its name and stead to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect the aforesaid severance, Borrower ratifying all that its said attorney shall do by virtue thereof; provided, however, Lender shall not make or execute any such documents under such power until three (3) days after notice has been given to Borrower by Lender of Lender’s intent to exercise its rights under such power. 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. Further, the Severed Loan Documents shall not contain any representations, warranties or covenants not contained in the Loan Documents and any such representations and warranties contained in the Severed Loan Documents will be given by Borrower only as of the Closing Date.
(c) 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 by Lender in its sole discretion, including 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 and/or 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, Lender may foreclose the Mortgage to recover so much of the Debt as Lender may accelerate and such other sums secured by the Mortgage as Lender may elect. Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, the Property shall remain subject to the Mortgage to secure payment of sums secured by the Mortgage and not previously recovered.
(d) Any amounts recovered from the Property or any other collateral for the Loan after 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) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing or otherwise impairing or 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, Borrower agrees that if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing Lender shall have the right to immediately draw down in full upon any Letter of Credit delivered by, or on behalf of Borrower pursuant to the terms of this
88
Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and apply the proceeds of such draw towards 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.
(f) Remedies Cumulative; Waivers. The rights, powers and remedies of Lender under this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which Lender may have against Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or existing at law or in equity or otherwise. Lender’s rights, powers and remedies may be pursued singularly, concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in Lender’s sole discretion. No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of Default shall impair any such remedy, right or power or shall be construed as a waiver thereof, but any such remedy, right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. A waiver of one Default or Event of Default with respect to Borrower shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default by Borrower or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon.
ARTICLE 9
SPECIAL PROVISIONS
Section 9.1 Sale of Note and Securitization. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that Lender may sell all or any portion of the Loan and the Loan Documents, or issue one or more participations therein, or consummate one or more private or public securitizations of rated single- or multi-class securities (the “Securities”) secured by or evidencing ownership interests in all or any portion of the Loan and the Loan Documents or a pool of assets that include the Loan and the Loan Documents (such sales, participations and/or securitizations, collectively, a “Securitization”). At the request of Lender, and to the extent not already required to be provided by Borrower under this Agreement, Borrower shall use reasonable efforts to provide information not in the possession of Lender or which may be reasonably required by Lender in order to satisfy the market standards to which Lender customarily adheres or which may be reasonably required by prospective investors and/or the Rating Agencies in connection with any such Securitization including, without limitation, to:
(a) provide additional and/or updated Provided Information, together with appropriate verification and/or consents related to the Provided Information through letters of auditors or opinions of counsel of independent attorneys reasonably acceptable to Lender and the Rating Agencies;
(b) assist in preparing descriptive materials for presentations to any or all of the Rating Agencies, and work with, and if requested, supervise, third-party service providers engaged by Borrower, Principal and their respective affiliates to obtain, collect, and deliver information requested or required by Lender or the Rating Agencies;
(c) if required by the Rating Agencies, deliver (i) updated opinions of counsel as to non-consolidation, due execution and enforceability with respect to the Property, Borrower,
89
Principal and their respective Affiliates and the Loan Documents, and (ii) revised organizational documents for Borrower, which counsel opinions and organizational documents shall be reasonably satisfactory to Lender and the Rating Agencies;
(d) if required by any Rating Agency, use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver such additional tenant estoppel letters, subordination agreements or other agreements from parties to agreements that affect the Property, which estoppel letters, subordination agreements or other agreements shall be reasonably satisfactory to Lender and the Rating Agencies;
(e) make such representations and warranties as of the closing date of the Securitization with respect to the Property, Borrower, Principal and the Loan Documents as may be reasonably requested by Lender or the Rating Agencies and consistent with the facts covered by such representations and warranties as they exist on the date thereof, including the representations and warranties made in the Loan Documents;
(f) execute such non-material amendments to the Loan Documents as may be requested by Lender or the Rating Agencies to effect the Securitization;
(g) if requested by Lender, review any information regarding the Property, Borrower, Principal, the Manager and the Loan which is contained in a preliminary or final private placement memorandum, prospectus, prospectus supplement (including any amendment or supplement to either thereof), or other disclosure document to be used by Lender or any affiliate thereof; and
(h) supply to Lender such documentation, financial statements and reports concerning Borrower, Principal, Guarantor, the Loan and/or the Property in form and substance required in order to comply with any applicable securities laws.
All reasonable third party costs and expenses incurred by Borrower or Lender in connection with Borrower’s complying with requests made under this Section 9.1 (including, without limitation, the fees and expenses of the Rating Agencies) shall be paid by Lender.
Section 9.2 Securitization Indemnification.
(a) Borrower understands that certain of the Provided Information may be included in Disclosure Documents in connection with the Securitization and may also be included in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or provided or made available to investors or prospective investors in the Securities, the Rating Agencies, and service providers relating to the Securitization. In the event that the Disclosure Document is required to be revised prior to the sale of all Securities, Borrower will cooperate with the holder of the Note in updating the Disclosure Document by providing all current information necessary to keep the Disclosure Document accurate and complete in all material respects.
(b) The Indemnifying Persons agree to provide, in connection with the Securitization, an indemnification agreement (i) certifying that (A) the Indemnifying Persons
90
have carefully examined the Disclosure Documents, including, without limitation, the sections entitled “Risk Factors,” “Special Considerations,” “Description of the Mortgages,” “Description of the Mortgage Loans and Mortgaged Property,” “The Manager,” “The Borrower” and “Certain Legal Aspects of the Mortgage Loan,” and (B) such sections and such other information in the Disclosure Documents (to the extent such information relates to or includes any Provided Information or any information regarding the Property, Borrower, Manager and/or the Loan) (collectively with the Provided Information, the “Covered Disclosure Information”) do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, (ii) jointly and severally indemnifying Lender, CSFB (whether or not it is Lender), any Affiliate of CSFB that has filed any registration statement relating to the Securitization or has acted as the sponsor or depositor in connection with the Securitization, any Affiliate of CSFB that acts as an underwriter, placement agent or initial purchaser of Securities issued in the Securitization, any other co-underwriters, co-placement agents or co-initial purchasers of Securities issued in the Securitization, and each of their respective officers, directors, partners, employees, representatives, agents and Affiliates and each Person or entity who controls any such Person within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively, the “Indemnified Persons”), for any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs or expenses (including without limitation legal fees and expenses for enforcement of these obligations (collectively, the “Liabilities”)) to which any such Indemnified Person may become subject insofar as the Liabilities arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Covered Disclosure Information or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state in the Covered Disclosure Information a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements in the Covered Disclosure Information, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and (iii) agreeing to reimburse each Indemnified Person for any legal or other expenses incurred by such Indemnified Person, as they are incurred, in connection with investigating or defending the Liabilities. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which Borrower may otherwise have. Moreover, the indemnification 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, 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
91
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 any 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 any Indemnifying Person.
(e) Without the prior consent of CSFB (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), 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 CSFB 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 proceeding. 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).
(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: (x) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits to the Indemnifying
92
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 (by underwriting discount or otherwise) actually received by the Indemnified Persons in connection with the closing of the Loan or the 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 rights, 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 Obligations.
(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 [RESERVED]
Section 9.4 Exculpation. Subject to the qualifications below, Lender shall not enforce the liability and obligation of Borrower to perform and observe the obligations contained in the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage or the other Loan Documents by any action or proceeding wherein a money judgment shall be sought against Borrower, except that Lender may bring a foreclosure action, an action for specific performance or any other appropriate action or proceeding to enable Lender to enforce and realize upon its interest under the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage, 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 only to the extent of Borrower’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 in any such action or proceeding under, or by reason of, or in connection with, the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage or the other Loan Documents. The provisions of this Section shall not, however, (a) constitute a waiver, release or impairment of any obligation evidenced or secured by any of the Loan Documents; (b) impair the right of Lender to name Borrower as a party defendant in any action or suit for foreclosure and sale under the Mortgage or the Second Mortgage; (c) affect the validity or enforceability of any
93
guaranty or indemnity, including without limitation, the Guaranty, the Borrower Guaranty and/or the Environmental Indemnity, made in connection with the Loan or any of the rights and remedies of Lender thereunder; (d) impair the right of Lender to obtain the appointment of a receiver; (e) impair the enforcement of the Assignment of Leases; (f) constitute a prohibition against Lender to seek a deficiency judgment against Borrower in order to fully realize the security granted by the Mortgage and/or the other Loan Documents or to commence any other appropriate action or proceeding in order for Lender to exercise its remedies against the Property; or (g) constitute a waiver of the right of Lender to enforce the liability and obligation of Borrower, by money judgment or otherwise, to the extent of any actual loss, damage, cost, expense, liability, claim or other obligation incurred by Lender (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs reasonably incurred) arising out of or in connection with the following:
(i) | fraud or intentional misrepresentation by any Significant Party in connection with the Loan, including by reason of any claim under RICO; |
(ii) | the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Borrower; |
(iii) | the breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or indemnification provision in the Environmental Indemnity Agreement or in the Mortgage concerning environmental laws, hazardous substances or asbestos and any indemnification of Lender with respect thereto in either document; |
(iv) | the intentional removal or destruction of any portion of the Property by Borrower or any party acting on behalf of Borrower after an Event of Default; |
(v) | any Legal Requirement (including RICO) mandating the forfeiture by Borrower of the Property, or any portion thereof, because of the conduct or purported conduct of criminal activity by Borrower or any Significant Party in connection therewith; |
(vi) | the misappropriation or conversion by or on behalf of Borrower of (A) any Insurance Proceeds paid by reason of any Casualty, (B) any Awards received in connection with a Condemnation, (C) any Rents following an Event of Default, or (D) any Rents paid more than one (1) month in advance; |
(vii) | failure to pay, when funds are available from the Property or Reserves, charges for labor or materials or other charges which become Liens on of the Property which were prior to the Lien of the Mortgage; |
(viii) | any security deposits, advance deposits or any other deposits collected with respect to the Property which are not delivered to Lender upon a foreclosure of the Property or action in lieu thereof, except to the extent any such security deposits were applied in |
94
accordance with the terms and conditions of any of the Leases prior to the occurrence of the Event of Default that gave rise to such foreclosure or action in lieu thereof; and |
(ix) | failure of Borrower to direct the payment of or, pay any, Rents or other Receipts to the Property Account as required by the Loan Documents; and |
(x) | the failure of Borrower to apply monies disbursed to it from the Cash Management Account (or any sub-account thereof) for the purpose which such disbursement is made. |
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Note or any of the Loan Documents, (A) Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any right which Lender may have under Section 506(a), 506(b), 1111(b) or any other provisions of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code to file a claim for the full amount of the Debt secured by the Mortgage or to require that all collateral shall continue to secure all of the Obligations in accordance with the Loan Documents, and (B) the Debt shall be fully recourse to Borrower (i) in the event of: (a) Borrower filing a voluntary petition under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law; (b) Borrower, or any Person acting on behalf of Borrower, soliciting or causing to be solicited petitioning creditors for any involuntary petition against Borrower from any Person; (c) Borrower filing an answer consenting to or otherwise acquiescing in or joining in any involuntary petition filed against it, by any other Person under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law, or soliciting or causing to be solicited petitioning creditors for any involuntary petition from any Person; (d) Borrower consenting to or acquiescing in or joining in an application for the appointment of a custodian, receiver, trustee, or examiner for Borrower or any portion of the Property; (e) Borrower making an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or admitting, in writing or in any legal proceeding, its insolvency or inability to pay its debts as they become due; (ii) if Borrower fails to maintain its status as a Single Purpose Entity; (iii) if Borrower fails to obtain Lender’s prior consent to any Indebtedness or voluntary Lien encumbering the Property as required by this Agreement or the Mortgage; (iv) if any Restricted Party fails to obtain Lender’s prior consent to any Transfer as required by this Agreement or the Mortgage; or (v) an act or omission of Borrower, Principal, Guarantor or any Affiliate of Borrower, Principal, or Guarantor which hinders, delays or interferes with Lender’s enforcement of its rights hereunder or the realization of the Collateral, including the assertion by Borrower, Principal, Guarantor or such Affiliate of defenses or counterclaims.
Further, if any Significant Party fails to provide financial information in accordance with Section 5.1.11 hereof within a reasonable time following request by Lender therefor, Borrower shall pay an amount equal to $10,000 in order to defray the expense incurred by Lender as a result of such delay and to compensate Lender for any losses suffered as a result of such delay.
Section 9.5 Matters Concerning Manager. If (a) the Manager shall become bankrupt or insolvent or (b) a material default occurs under the Management Agreement beyond any applicable grace and cure periods, Borrower shall, at the request of Lender, terminate the Management Agreement and replace the Manager with a Qualified Manager pursuant to a
95
Replacement Management Agreement, it being understood and agreed that the management fee for such replacement manager shall not exceed then prevailing market rates.
Section 9.6 Servicer. At the option of Lender, the Loan may be serviced by a servicer/trustee (the “Servicer”) selected by Lender and Lender may delegate all or any portion of its responsibilities under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to the Servicer pursuant to a servicing agreement (the “Servicing Agreement”) between Lender and Servicer. Borrower shall not be responsible for any set-up fees or any other costs relating to or arising under the Servicing Agreement; including the monthly servicing fee due to the Servicer under the Servicing Agreement.
Section 9.7 Severance of Loan Documents. Lender shall have the right, at any time (whether prior to or after any sale or participation of all or any portion of the Loan), to modify the Loan in order to create one or more senior and subordinate notes (i.e., an A/B or A/B/C structure) and/or one or more additional components of the Note or Notes, reduce the number of components of the Note or Notes, revise the interest rate for each component, reallocate the principal balances of the Notes and/or the components, increase or decrease the monthly debt service payments for each component or eliminate the component structure and/or the multiple note structure of the Loan (including the elimination of the related allocations of principal and interest payments), provided that the Outstanding Principal Balance of all components immediately after the effective date of such modification equals the Outstanding Principal Balance immediately prior to such modification and the weighted average of the interest rates for all components immediately after the effective date of such modification equals the interest rate of the original Note immediately prior to such modification and modify the Cash Management Agreement with respect to the newly created components such that the pricing and marketability of the Securities and the size of each class of Securities and the rating assigned to each such class by the Rating Agencies shall provide the most favorable rating levels and achieve the optimum rating levels for the Loan. Lender shall have the right to modify the Note and/or Notes and any components in accordance with this Section 9.7 and, provided that such modification shall comply with the terms of this Section 9.7, it shall become immediately effective. If requested by Lender, Borrower shall promptly execute an amendment to the Loan Documents to evidence any such modification. In the event Borrower fails to deliver said amendment to Lender within fifteen (15) Business Days after request, Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints Lender as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact (with full power of substitution), coupled with an interest, in its name and stead to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect the aforesaid severance, Borrower ratifying all that its said attorney shall do by virtue thereof; provided, that, Lender shall not make or execute any such documents under such power until three (3) Business Days after notice has been given to Borrower by Lender of Lender’s intent to exercise its rights under such power. Lender shall be obligated to pay any reasonable costs or expenses incurred by Lender or Borrower in connection with the preparation, execution, recording or filing of the Severed Loan Documents. Except as may be required in connection with a securitization, the Severed Loan Documents shall not contain any representations, warranties or covenants not contained in the Loan Documents.
9.8 Mezzanine Loan Option. Lender shall have the right, on or before the date which is one (1) year following the Closing Date, to divide the Loan into two parts (the “Mezzanine Option”): a mortgage loan (the “Mortgage Loan”) and a mezzanine loan (the “Mezzanine
96
Loan”). In such event, Borrower agrees to cause the formation of the Mezzanine Borrower. The principal amount of the Mortgage Loan plus the principal amount of the Mezzanine Loan shall equal the outstanding principal balance of the Loan immediately prior to the creation of the Mortgage Loan and the Mezzanine Loan. In effectuating the foregoing, Mezzanine Lender will make a loan to Mezzanine Borrower; Mezzanine Borrower will contribute the amount of the Mezzanine Loan to Borrower (in its capacity as Borrower under the Mortgage Loan, “Mortgage Borrower”) and Mortgage Borrower will apply the contribution to pay down the Loan to its Mortgage Loan amount. The Mortgage Loan and the Mezzanine Loan will be on the same terms and subject to the same conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Note, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents except as follows:
(a) Lender (in its capacity as the lender under the Mortgage Loan, the “Mortgage Lender”) shall have the right to establish different interest rates and debt service payments for the Mortgage Loan and the Mezzanine Loan and to require the payment of the Mortgage Loan and the Mezzanine Loan in such order of priority as may be designated by Lender; provided, that (i) the total loan amounts for the Mortgage Loan and the Mezzanine Loan shall equal the amount of the Loan immediately prior to the creation of the Mortgage Loan and the Mezzanine Loan, (ii) the weighted average interest rate of the Mortgage Loan and the Mezzanine Loan shall on the date created equal the interest rate which was applicable to the Loan immediately prior to creation of a Mortgage Loan and a Mezzanine Loan and (iii) prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, the debt service payments on the Mortgage Loan note and the Mezzanine Loan note shall equal the debt service payment which are due under the Loan as if no Mezzanine Loan had been created.
(b) Mezzanine Borrower shall be a special purpose, bankruptcy remote entity pursuant to applicable Rating Agency criteria and shall own directly or indirectly one hundred percent (100%) of Mortgage Borrower. The security for the Mezzanine Loan shall be a pledge of one hundred percent (100%) of the direct and indirect ownership interests in Mortgage Borrower.
(c) Mezzanine Borrower and Mortgage Borrower shall cooperate with all reasonable requests of Lender in order to convert the Loan into a Mortgage Loan and a Mezzanine Loan and shall execute and deliver such documents as shall reasonably be required by Lender and any Rating Agency in connection therewith, including, without limitation, the delivery of non-consolidation opinions and the modification of organizational documents and loan documents. In the event Mortgage Borrower and/or Mezzanine Borrower fail to execute and deliver such documents to Lender within five (5) Business Days following such request by Lender, Mortgage Borrower and/or Mezzanine Borrower, as applicable, hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoint Lender as their true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in their name and xxxxx to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect such transactions, Mortgage Borrower and/or Mezzanine Borrower, as applicable, ratifying all that such attorney shall do by virtue thereof. Lender shall pay all costs and expenses in connection with the creation of the Mortgage Loan and the Mezzanine Loan and all requirements relating thereto, including, without limitation, the cost of any UCC lien insurance policy.
(d) It shall be an Event of Default under this Agreement, the Note, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents if Borrower or Mezzanine Borrower fails to comply with any of the
97
terms, covenants or conditions of this Section 9.8 after expiration of ten (10) Business Days after notice thereof.

Any cost and expenses due and payable to Lender may be paid, at Lender’s option, from any amounts in the Property Account.
(b) Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Lender from and against any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for Lender in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding commenced or threatened, whether or not Lender shall be designated a party thereto), that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against Lender in any manner relating to or arising out of (i) any breach by Borrower of its obligations under, or any material misrepresentation by Borrower contained in, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or (ii) the use or intended use of the proceeds of the Loan (collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided, however, that Borrower shall not have any obligation to Lender hereunder to the extent that such Indemnified Liabilities arise from the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct of Lender. 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
103
portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by Lender.
(c) Borrower covenants and agrees to pay for or, if Borrower fails to pay, to reimburse Lender for, any fees and expenses incurred by any Rating Agency in connection with any Rating Agency review of the Loan, the Loan Documents or any transaction contemplated thereby up to a maximum sum of $20,000.00 or any consent, approval, waiver or confirmation obtained from such Rating Agency pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document and Lender shall be entitled to require payment of such fees and expenses as a condition precedent to the obtaining of any such consent, approval, waiver or confirmation.

Section 10.15 Offsets, Counterclaims and Defenses. Any assignee of Lender’s interest in and to this Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents shall take the same free and clear of all offsets, counterclaims or defenses which are unrelated to such documents which Borrower may otherwise have against any assignor of such documents, and no such unrelated counterclaim or defense shall be interposed or asserted by Borrower in any action or proceeding brought by any such assignee upon such documents and any such right to interpose or assert any such unrelated offset, counterclaim or defense in any such action or proceeding is hereby expressly waived by Borrower.
Section 10.16 No Joint Venture or Partnership; No Third Party Beneficiaries.

(b) This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are solely for the benefit of Lender and Borrower and nothing contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to confer upon anyone other than Lender and Borrower any right to insist upon or to enforce the performance or observance of any of the obligations contained herein or therein. All conditions to the obligations of Lender to make the Loan hereunder are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of Lender and no other Person shall have standing to require satisfaction of such conditions in accordance with their terms or be entitled to assume that Lender will refuse to make the Loan (or any disbursement of Reserve Funds) in the absence of strict compliance with any or all thereof and no other Person shall under any circumstances be deemed to be a beneficiary of such conditions, any or all of which may be freely waived in whole or in part by Lender if, in Lender’s sole discretion, Lender deems it advisable or desirable to do so.
104

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives all rights to a marshalling of the assets of Borrower, Borrower’s partners and others with interests in Borrower, and of the Property, or to a sale in inverse order of alienation in the event of foreclosure of the Mortgage, and agrees not to assert any right under any laws pertaining to the marshalling of assets, the sale in inverse order of alienation, homestead exemption, the administration of estates of decedents, or any other matters whatsoever to defeat, reduce or affect the right of Lender under the Loan Documents to a sale of the Property for the collection of the Debt and/or the Other Borrower Obligations without any prior or different resort for collection or of the right of Lender to the payment of the Debt and/or the Other Borrower Obligations out of the net proceeds of the Property in preference to every other claimant whatsoever.
Section 10.19 Waiver of Offsets/Defenses/Counterclaims. Borrower hereby waives the right to assert a counterclaim, other than a compulsory counterclaim, in any action or proceeding brought against it by Lender or its agents or otherwise to offset any Obligations under the Loan Documents. No failure by Lender to perform any of its obligations hereunder shall be a valid defense to, or result in any offset against, any payments which Borrower is obligated to make under any of the Loan Documents.
Section 10.20 Conflict; Construction of Documents; Reliance. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Agreement shall control. The parties hereto acknowledge that they were represented by competent counsel in connection with the negotiation, drafting and execution of the Loan Documents and that such Loan Documents shall not be subject to the principle of construing their meaning against the party which drafted same. Borrower acknowledges that, with respect to the Loan, Borrower shall rely solely on its own judgment and advisors in entering into the Loan without relying in any manner on any statements, representations or recommendations of Lender or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender. Lender shall not be subject to any limitation whatsoever in the exercise of any rights or remedies available to it under any of the Loan Documents or any other agreements or instruments which govern the Loan or the Other Loans by virtue of the ownership by it or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender of any equity interest any of them may acquire in Borrower, and Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to raise any defense or take any action on the basis of the foregoing with respect to Lender’s exercise of any such rights or remedies. Borrower acknowledges that Lender engages in the business of real estate financings and other real estate transactions and investments which may be viewed as adverse to or competitive with the business of Borrower or its Affiliates.
Section 10.21 Brokers and Financial Advisors. Borrower hereby represents that it has dealt with no financial advisors, brokers, underwriters, placement agents, agents or finders in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Borrower hereby agrees to
105
indemnify, defend and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, costs and expenses of any kind (including Lender’s attorneys’ fees and expenses) in any way relating to or arising from a claim by any Person that such Person acted on behalf of Borrower or Lender in connection with the transactions contemplated herein. The provisions of this Section 10.21 shall survive the expiration and termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Debt.
Section 10.22 Prior Agreements. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents contain the entire agreement of the parties hereto and thereto in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and all prior agreements among or between such parties, whether oral or written, between Borrower and Lender are superseded by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

Section 2.2 Interest Rate.
2.2.1 Interest Generally. Interest on the Outstanding Principal Balance shall accrue from the Closing Date to but excluding the Maturity Date at the Applicable Interest Rate.
2.2.2 Interest Calculation. Interest on the Outstanding Principal Balance shall be calculated by multiplying (a) the actual number of days elapsed in the period for which the calculation is being made by (b) a daily rate based on a three hundred sixty (360) day year by (c) the Outstanding Principal Balance.
2.2.3 Determination of Interest Rate.
(a) The Applicable Interest Rate with respect to the Loan shall be: (i) LIBOR plus the Spread with respect to the applicable Interest Period for a LIBOR Loan; or (ii) the Prime Rate plus the Prime Rate Spread for a Prime Rate Loan if the Loan is converted to a Prime Rate Loan pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.2.3 (c) or (f).
(b) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 2.2.3, the Loan shall be a LIBOR Loan and Borrower shall pay interest on the Outstanding Principal Balance at LIBOR plus the Spread for the applicable Interest Period. Any change in the rate of interest hereunder due to a change in the Applicable Interest Rate shall become effective as of the opening of business on the first day on which such change in the Applicable Interest Rate shall become effective. Each determination by Lender of the Applicable Interest Rate shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
(c) In the event that Lender shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower absent manifest error) that by reason of circumstances affecting the interbank Eurodollar market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR, then Lender shall forthwith give notice by telephone of such determination, confirmed in writing, to Borrower at least one (1) day prior to the last day of the related Interest Period. If such notice is given, the related outstanding LIBOR Loan shall be converted, on the last day of the then current Interest Period, to a Prime Rate Loan.
(d) If, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, any portion of the Loan has been converted to a Prime Rate Loan and Lender shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower absent manifest error) that the event(s) or circumstance(s) which resulted in such conversion shall no longer be applicable, Lender shall give notice by telephone of such determination, confirmed in writing, to Borrower at least one (1) day prior to the last day of the related Interest Period. If such notice is given, the related outstanding Prime Rate Loan shall be converted to a LIBOR Loan on the last day of the then current Interest Period.
(e) With respect to a LIBOR Loan, all payments made by Borrower hereunder shall be made free and clear of, and without reduction for or on account of, income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions, reserves or withholdings imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority, which are imposed, enacted or become effective after the date hereof (such non-excluded taxes being referred to collectively as “Foreign Taxes”), excluding income and franchise taxes of the United States of America or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (including Puerto
26
Rico). If any Foreign Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to Lender hereunder, the amounts so payable to Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to Lender (after payment of all Foreign Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rate or in the amounts specified hereunder. Whenever any Foreign Tax is payable pursuant to applicable law by Borrower, as promptly as possible thereafter, Borrower shall send to Lender an original official receipt, if available, or certified copy thereof showing payment of such Foreign Tax. Borrower hereby indemnifies Lender for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by Lender which may result from any failure by Borrower to pay any such Foreign Tax when due to the appropriate taxing authority or any failure by Borrower to remit to Lender the required receipts or other required documentary evidence.
(f) If any requirement of law or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof, shall hereafter make it unlawful for Lender to make or maintain a LIBOR Loan as contemplated hereunder (i) the obligation of Lender hereunder to make a LIBOR Loan or to convert a Prime Rate Loan to a LIBOR Loan shall be canceled forthwith, and (ii) any outstanding LIBOR Loan shall be converted automatically to a Prime Rate Loan on the next succeeding Payment Date or within such earlier period as required by law. Borrower hereby agrees promptly to pay Lender, upon demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate Lender for any costs incurred by Lender in making any conversion in accordance with this Agreement, including, without limitation, any interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to make or maintain the LIBOR Loan hereunder. Lender’s notice of such costs, as certified to Borrower, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(g) In the event that any change in any requirement of law or in the interpretation or application thereof, or compliance by Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) hereafter issued from any central bank or other Governmental Authority:
(i) | shall hereafter impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of Lender which is not otherwise included in the determination of LIBOR hereunder; |
(ii) | shall hereafter have the effect of reducing the rate of return on Lender’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which Lender could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration Lender’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by any amount deemed by Lender to be material; or |
(iii) | shall hereafter impose on Lender any other condition and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Lender of making, renewing or maintaining loans or extensions of credit or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder; |
27
then, in any such case, Borrower shall promptly pay Lender, upon demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate Lender for such additional cost or reduced amount receivable which Lender deems to be material as determined by Lender. If Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.2.3(g), Lender shall provide Borrower with not less than ninety (90) days notice specifying in reasonable detail the event by reason of which it has become so entitled and the additional amount required to fully compensate Lender for such additional cost or reduced amount. A certificate as to any additional costs or amounts payable pursuant to the foregoing sentence submitted by Lender to Borrower shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. This provision shall survive payment of the Note and the satisfaction of all other obligations of Borrower under this Agreement and the Loan Documents.
(h) Borrower agrees to indemnify Lender and to hold Lender harmless from any loss or expense which Lender sustains or incurs as a consequence of (i) any default by Borrower resulting in a loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain a LIBOR Loan hereunder, (ii) any prepayment (whether voluntary or mandatory) of the LIBOR Loan on a day that is not a Payment Date unless Borrower did not give the prior notice of such prepayment required pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, such loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain the LIBOR Loan hereunder, and (iii) the conversion (if such conversion is caused by any act or omission of Borrower) of the Applicable Interest Rate from LIBOR plus the Spread to the Prime Rate plus the Prime Rate Spread with respect to any portion of the Outstanding Principal Balance then bearing interest at LIBOR plus the Spread on a date other than the Payment Date immediately following the last day of an Interest Period, including, without limitation, such loss or expenses arising from interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain a LIBOR Loan hereunder (the amounts referred to in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) are herein referred to collectively as the “Breakage Costs”); provided, however, Borrower shall not indemnify Lender from any loss or expense arising from Lender’s willful misconduct or gross negligence. This provision shall survive payment of the Note in full and the satisfaction of all other obligations of Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
(i) Lender shall not be entitled to claim compensation pursuant to this Section 2.2.3 for any Foreign Taxes, increased cost or reduction in amounts received or receivable hereunder, or any reduced rate of return, which was incurred or which accrued more than ninety (90) days before the date Lender notified Borrower of the change in law or other circumstance on which such claim of compensation is based and delivered to Borrower a written statement setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for calculating the additional amounts owed to Lender under this Section 2.2.3, which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error.
2.2.4 Additional Costs. Lender will use reasonable efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions) to maintain the availability of the LIBOR Loan and to avoid or reduce any increased or additional costs payable by Borrower under Section 2.2.3, including, if requested by Borrower, a transfer or assignment of the Loan to a branch, office or Affiliate of Lender in another jurisdiction, or a redesignation of its lending office with respect to the Loan, in order to maintain the availability of the LIBOR Loan or to avoid or reduce such increased or additional costs, provided that the transfer or assignment or redesignation (a) would not result in
28
any additional costs, expenses or risk to Lender that are not reimbursed by Borrower and (b) would not be disadvantageous in any other respect to Lender as determined by Lender in its sole discretion.
2.2.5 Default Rate. In the event that, and for so long as, any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Outstanding Principal Balance and, to the extent permitted by law, all accrued and unpaid interest in respect of the Loan and any other amounts due pursuant to the Loan Documents, shall accrue interest at the Default Rate, calculated from the date such payment was due without regard to any grace or cure periods contained herein.
2.2.6 Usury Savings. This Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents are subject to the express condition that at no time shall Borrower be obligated or required to pay interest on the principal balance of the Loan at a rate which could subject Lender to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate. If, by the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the principal balance due hereunder at a rate in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate, the 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 of interest from time to time in effect and applicable to the Loan for so long as the Loan is outstanding.
2.2.7 Interest Rate Cap Agreement.
(a) On or before the earlier to occur of (y) September 1, 2004 or (z) the date which is two (2) weeks prior to the printing of the preliminary prospectus in connection with a Securitization (which date shall be provided to Borrower at least five (5) Business Days in advance thereof), Borrower shall enter into an Interest Rate Cap Agreement with a LIBOR strike price equal to the Strike Price. The Interest Rate Cap Agreement (i) shall be in a form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender, (ii) shall be with an Acceptable Counterparty, (iii) shall direct such Acceptable Counterparty to deposit directly into the Property Account any amounts due Borrower under such Interest Rate Cap Agreement so long as any portion of the Debt exists, provided, that, the Debt shall be deemed to exist if the Property is transferred by judicial or non-judicial foreclosure or deed-in-lieu thereof, (iv) shall be for a period equal to the term of the Loan, and (v) shall have an initial notional amount equal to the principal balance of the Loan. Borrower shall collaterally assign to Lender, pursuant to the Collateral Assignment of Interest Rate Cap Agreement, all of its right, title and interest to receive any and all payments under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, and shall deliver to Lender an executed counterpart of such Interest Rate Cap Agreement (which shall, by its terms, authorize the assignment to Lender and require that payments be deposited directly into the Property Account).
(b) Borrower shall comply with all of its obligations under the terms and provisions of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement. All amounts paid by the Counterparty under the
29
Interest Rate Cap Agreement to Borrower or Lender shall be deposited immediately into the Property Account. Borrower shall take all actions reasonably requested by Lender to enforce Lender’s rights under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement in the event of a default by the Counterparty and shall not waive, amend or otherwise modify any of its rights thereunder.
(c) In the event of any downgrade below “A+” (or its equivalent), withdrawal or qualification of the rating of the Counterparty by S&P or Xxxxx’x, Borrower shall replace the Interest Rate Cap Agreement with a Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement not later than ten (10) Business Days following receipt of notice from Lender of such downgrade, withdrawal or qualification.
(d) In the event that Borrower fails to purchase and deliver to Lender the Interest Rate Cap Agreement or fails to maintain the Interest Rate Cap Agreement in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement, Lender may purchase the Interest Rate Cap Agreement and the cost incurred by Lender in purchasing such Interest Rate Cap Agreement shall be paid by Borrower to Lender with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date such cost was incurred by Lender until such cost is reimbursed by Borrower to Lender.
(e) In connection with the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, Borrower shall obtain and deliver to Lender an opinion from counsel (which counsel may be in-house counsel for the Counterparty) for the Counterparty (upon which Lender and its successors and assigns may rely) which shall provide, in relevant part, that:
(i) | the Counterparty is duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation and has the organizational power and authority to execute and deliver, and to perform its obligations under, the Interest Rate Cap Agreement; |
(ii) | the execution and delivery of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement by the Counterparty, and any other agreement which the Counterparty has executed and delivered pursuant thereto, and the performance of its obligations thereunder have been and remain duly authorized by all necessary action and do not contravene any provision of its certificate of incorporation or by-laws (or equivalent organizational documents) or any law, regulation or contractual restriction binding on or affecting it or its property; |
(iii) | all consents, authorizations and approvals required for the execution and delivery by the Counterparty of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, and any other agreement which the Counterparty has executed and delivered pursuant thereto, and the performance of its obligations thereunder have been obtained and remain in full force and effect, all conditions thereof have been duly complied with, and no other action by, and no notice to or filing with any Governmental Authority or regulatory body is required for such execution, delivery or performance; and |
30
(iv) | the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, and any other agreement which the Counterparty has executed and delivered pursuant thereto, has been duly executed and delivered by the Counterparty and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Counterparty, enforceable against the Counterparty in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law). |

The first interest accrual period hereunder shall commence on and include the Closing Date and end on July 8, 2004. Each interest accrual period thereafter shall commence on the ninth (9th) day of each calendar month during the term of the Loan and shall end on and include the eighth (8th) day of the next occurring calendar month. For purposes of making payments hereunder, but not for purposes of calculating interest accrual periods, if the day on which such payment is due is not a Business Day, then amounts due on such date shall be due on the immediately preceding Business Day. With respect to payments of principal due on the Maturity Date, interest shall be payable at the Applicable Interest Rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, through and including the day immediately preceding such Maturity Date. All amounts due pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be payable without setoff, counterclaim, defense or any other deduction whatsoever.

2.3.3 Late Payment Charge. If any principal, interest or any other sums due under the Loan Documents, excluding the payment of principal due on the Maturity Date, is not paid by Borrower by the date on which it is due, Borrower shall pay to Lender upon demand an amount equal to the lesser of (a) two percent (2%) of such unpaid sum, and (b) 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; provided, however, that with respect to two (2) delinquent payments during the term of the Loan, as the same may be extended, no such late charge shall be payable provided such payment is made within five (5) days after the due date therefor and interest on such delinquent payments shall accrue at the Applicable Interest Rate calculated from the date such payment was due. Any such amount shall be secured by the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents to the extent permitted by applicable law.
2.3.4 Method and Place of Payment. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all payments and prepayments under this Agreement and the Note shall be made to Lender not later than 1:00 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 Lender’s office
31
or as otherwise directed by Lender, and any funds received by Lender after such time shall, for all purposes hereof, be deemed to have been paid on the next succeeding Business Day. Any prepayments required to be made hereunder or under the Cash Management Agreement shall be deemed to have been timely made for the purposes of this Section 2.3.4.
Section 2.4 Prepayments.
2.4.1 Voluntary Prepayments. (a) The Loan may be prepaid in whole only (but not in part) on any Payment Date, provided, that, with respect to any such prepayment (i) the Borrower shall give Lender thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of the Borrower’s intention to prepay the Loan in full, (ii) subject to the terms of Section 2.4.1(b) below, all outstanding Other Loans together with all Other Borrower Obligations shall simultaneously be repaid in full subject to and in accordance with the applicable Other Borrower Loan Documents and (iii) Borrower pays Lender, in addition to the Outstanding Principal Balance, (A) all interest as required herein; and (B) all other Debt payable under this Agreement, the Note, and the other Loan Documents, including, but not limited to the Breakage Costs and all of Lender’s costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by Lender in connection with such prepayment. Borrower shall have the right to withdraw any prepayment notice at any time prior to such prepayment provided that Borrower shall pay to Lender all of Lender’s reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with the receipt of such notices.
(b) Notwithstanding the terms of clause (ii) of Section 2.4.1(a) above, the Loan may be prepaid in whole only (but not in part) if the Property is sold in a bona fide arms-length, all-cash sale to a Person which is not a Related Party, provided, that:
(i) | the Borrower complies with the terms of Section 2.4.1(a) above (excluding clause (ii) thereof) in respect of such prepayment; |
(ii) | the amount of such prepayment shall equal the Adjusted Release Amount; |
(iii) | no Release Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing hereunder or under any other Loan Document; |
(iv) | after giving effect to such release (including the amount prepaid in Section 2.4.1(a) above), the Aggregate Debt Service Coverage Ratio of the remaining Other Properties shall equal or exceed the greater of (i) the Aggregate Debt Service Coverage Ratio for the twelve (12) full calendar months immediately preceding the Closing Date, or (ii) the Aggregate Debt Service Coverage Ratio for the twelve (12) full calendar months immediately preceding the release of the Property for which financial statements are available; |
(v) | In the event Borrower is the owner of an Other Property, the Property shall be conveyed to a Person other than Borrower; |
(vi) | The Adjusted Release Amount paid to Lender in connection with any such release shall be applied (i) first, to reduce the Debt to |
32
zero, and (ii) second, pro rata to the Other Loans, immediately following such release. In connection with the release of the Mortgage and Second Mortgage as permitted by this Section 2.5, Borrower shall submit to Lender, not less than ten (10) days prior to the date on which Borrower intends to pay the Loan in full, a release of Lien (and related Loan Documents), for the Property for execution by Lender. Such release shall be in a form appropriate in the jurisdiction in which the Property is located and that would be satisfactory to a prudent lender; and |
(vii) | Borrower shall have delivered to Lender an Officer’s Certificate in form reasonably acceptable to Lender certifying that no Release Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing hereunder, under the Other Loan Documents or under the Other Borrower Loan Documents. |
In the event any sums payable pursuant to Section 2.4 of the Other Loan Agreements are applied to reduce the Outstanding Principal Balance of this Loan, no Prepayment Premium shall be payable in connection therewith.
2.4.2 Mandatory Prepayments. On the next occurring Payment Date following the date on which Lender actually receives any Net Proceeds, if Lender is not obligated to make such Net Proceeds available to Borrower for Restoration, Borrower shall prepay, or authorize Lender to apply Net Proceeds as a prepayment of, the Outstanding Principal Balance in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of such Net Proceeds. So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no Prepayment Premium shall be due in connection with any prepayment made pursuant to this Section 2.4.2 (such fee being expressly waived).
2.4.3 Prepayments After Default. If after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, payment of all or any part of the Debt is tendered by Borrower or otherwise recovered by Lender (including through application of any Reserve Funds), such tender or recovery shall be deemed (a) to have been made on the next occurring Payment Date together with the Monthly Interest Payment, and (b) to be a voluntary prepayment by Borrower and Borrower shall pay, in addition to the Debt, an amount equal to the greater of (i) five percent (5%) of the Outstanding Principal Balance or the portion thereof being prepaid or satisfied, and (ii) the Prepayment Premium, if any.
Section 2.5 Release of Property. (a) Except as set forth in this Section 2.5, no repayment or prepayment of all or any portion of the Loan shall cause, give rise to a right to require, or otherwise result in, the release of the Liens of the Mortgage or the Second Mortgage.
(b) Lender shall promptly, upon the written request and at the sole cost and expense of Borrower, upon payment in full of all of the Debt in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Note, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and subject to and upon compliance with the terms of Section 2.4.1(b) hereof, release the Lien of the Mortgage and the Second Mortgage on the Property.
33
(c) In connection with the release of the Mortgage and the Second Mortgage as permitted by this Section 2.5, Borrower shall submit to Lender, not less than ten (10) days prior to the Payment Date on which Borrower intends to pay the Loan in full, releases of Lien (and related Loan Documents), for the Property for execution by Lender.

In addition, on or before the Closing Date, Borrower shall, or shall cause Manager to, deliver irrevocable written instructions (each a “Payment Direction Letter”) to each of the credit card companies or credit card clearing banks with which Borrower or Manager has entered into merchant’s agreements and to each account debtor of Borrower to deliver all Rents payable with respect to the Property directly to the Property Account.

(d) Upon request of Lender, Borrower shall deliver to Lender such evidence as Lender may reasonably request to evidence that Borrower is complying with the provisions of Section 2.6.1.

34
shall (i) terminate, amend, revoke or modify any Payment Direction Letter in any manner or (ii) direct or cause any credit card company, credit card clearing bank or account debtor to pay any amount in any manner other than as provided specifically in the related Payment Direction Letter.
(e) There are no accounts, other than the Property Account, maintained by Borrower or Manager or any other Person into which Rents from the Property are initially deposited.

Lender and Servicer shall have the sole right to make withdrawals from the Cash Management Account and all costs and expenses for establishing and maintaining the Cash Management Account shall be paid by Borrower.

(c) The insufficiency of funds on deposit in the Cash Management Account shall not relieve Borrower of 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.
(d) All funds on deposit in the Cash Management Account following the occurrence of an Event of Default may be applied by Lender in such order and priority as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion.
2.6.4 Payments Received Under the Cash Management Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower’s obligations with respect to the monthly payment of Debt Service and amounts due for the Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds, FF&E Reserve Funds, Ground Rent Reserve Funds, and any other payment reserves established pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be deemed satisfied to the extent sufficient amounts are deposited in the Cash Management Account to satisfy such obligations on the dates each such payment is required, regardless of whether any of such amounts are so applied by Lender.
2.6.5 Application After Event of Default. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.6, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender, at its
36
option, may withdraw the Reserve Funds and any other funds of Borrower then in the possession of Lender, Servicer or Property Account Bank and apply such funds to the items for which the Reserve Funds were established or to the payment of the Obligations and the Other Borrower Obligations in such order, proportion and priority as Lender may determine in its sole discretion.

(o) Lender shall have received such assurances and confirmations from the Rating Agencies that the Substitution shall not result in a downgrading, withdrawal or qualification of any rating assigned or the preliminary or indicative rating to be assigned to any securities issued in connection with any Securitization.
(p) Lender shall be satisfied that the Substitution shall not constitute a preference or fraudulent conveyance or that the Substitution is structured in such a manner as to avoid said risks.

Borrower is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction where it is required to be so qualified in connection with its properties, businesses and operations. Borrower possesses all rights, licenses, permits and authorizations, governmental or otherwise, necessary to entitle it to own its properties and to transact the businesses in which it is now engaged, and the sole business of Borrower is the ownership, management and operation of the Property.

4.1.2 Proceedings. Borrower has taken all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents have been duly executed and delivered by or on behalf of Borrower and constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of Borrower enforceable against Borrower in accordance with their respective terms, subject only to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting rights of creditors generally, and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law).
4.1.3 No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by any Significant Party, as applicable, 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 pursuant to the terms of any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, partnership agreement, management agreement or other agreement or instrument to which Borrower is a party or by which any of Borrower’s property or assets is subject, nor will such action result in any violation of the provisions of any statute or any order, rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over Borrower or any of Borrower’s properties or assets, and any consent, approval, authorization, order, registration or qualification of or with any such Governmental Authority required for the execution, delivery and performance by any Significant Party, as applicable, of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents has been obtained and is in full force and effect.
4.1.4 Litigation. There are no actions, suits or proceedings at law or in equity by or before any Governmental Authority or other agency now pending or, to Borrower’s knowledge, threatened against or affecting any Significant Party or the Property, which actions,
44
suits or proceedings, if determined against such Significant Party or the Property, are reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.
4.1.5 Agreements. Borrower is not a party to any agreement or instrument or subject to any restriction which might materially and adversely affect Borrower or the Property, or Borrower’s business, properties or assets, operations or condition, financial or otherwise. Borrower is not in default in any material respect in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions contained in any agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which Borrower or the Property are bound. Borrower has no material financial obligation under any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement or other agreement or instrument to which Borrower is a party or by which Borrower or the Property is otherwise bound, other than (a) any obligations incurred in the ordinary course of the operation of the Property as permitted pursuant to clause (s) of the definition of “Special Purpose Entity” set forth in Section 1.1 hereof, (b) the obligations under the Loan Documents.
4.1.6 Title. (a) Borrower has good, marketable and insurable leasehold title to 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. The Permitted Encumbrances in the aggregate do not materially and adversely affect the value, operation or use of the Property (as currently used) or Borrower’s ability to repay the Loan. The Mortgage and the Assignment of Leases, when 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 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), 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. There are no claims for payment for work, labor or materials affecting the Property which are or may become a Lien prior to, or of equal priority with, the Liens created by the Loan Documents.
(b) The Second Mortgage, when properly recorded in the appropriate public records, together with any Uniform Commercial Code financing statements required to be filed in connection therewith, will create (i) a valid, perfected second priority Lien on the Property, subject only to Permitted Encumbrances and the Lien of the Mortgage and (ii) perfected security interests in and to, and perfected collateral assignments of, all Personal Property (including the Leases), all in accordance with the terms thereof, in each case subject only to the Mortgage and any applicable Permitted Encumbrances to the extent that perfection occurs through the recording of a Mortgage or the filing of a financing statement.
4.1.7 Solvency. Borrower has (a) not entered into the transaction contemplated by this Agreement or executed the Note, this Agreement or any other Loan Documents with the actual intent to hinder, delay or defraud any creditor and (b) received reasonably equivalent value in exchange for its obligations under such Loan Documents. After giving effect to the Loan, the fair saleable value of Borrower’s assets exceeds and will, immediately following the making of the Loan, exceed Borrower’s total liabilities, including, without limitation, subordinated, unliquidated, disputed and contingent liabilities. The fair saleable value of
45
Borrower’s assets is and will, immediately following the making of the Loan, be greater than Borrower’s probable liabilities, including the maximum amount of its contingent liabilities on its debts as such debts become absolute and matured. Borrower’s assets do not and, immediately following the making of the Loan will not, constitute unreasonably small capital to carry out its business as conducted or as proposed to be conducted. Borrower does not intend to, and does not believe that it will, incur debts and liabilities (including contingent liabilities and other commitments) beyond its ability to pay such debts and liabilities as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be received by Borrower and the amounts to be payable on or in respect of the obligations of Borrower). No petition in bankruptcy has been filed against Borrower or any of its constituent Persons, and neither Borrower nor any of its constituent Persons has ever made an assignment for the benefit of creditors or taken advantage of any insolvency act for the benefit of debtors. Neither Borrower nor any of its 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 assets or properties, and Borrower has no knowledge of any Person contemplating the filing of any such petition against it or any of its constituent Persons.
4.1.8 Full and Accurate Disclosure. No statement of fact made by Borrower in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make statements contained herein or therein not misleading. There is no material fact presently known to Borrower which has not been disclosed to Lender which adversely affects, nor as far as Borrower can foresee, might adversely affect, the Property or the business, operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of Borrower.

Section 2510.3-101. In addition, (a) Borrower is not a “governmental plan” within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA, and (b) transactions by or with Borrower are not subject to any state statute regulating investments of, or fiduciary obligations with respect to, governmental plans similar to the provisions of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code currently in effect, which prohibit or otherwise restrict the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
4.1.10 Compliance. Borrower and the Property (including the use thereof) comply in all material respects with all applicable Legal Requirements, including, without limitation, building and zoning ordinances and codes. Borrower is not in default or violation of any order, writ, injunction, decree or demand of any Governmental Authority. There has not been committed by Borrower, to Borrower’s knowledge, or any other Person in occupancy of or involved with the operation or use of the Property any act or omission affording any Governmental Authority the right of forfeiture as against the Property or any part thereof or any monies paid in performance of Borrower’s obligations under any of the Loan Documents.

46
audited by an independent certified public accounting firm, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP throughout the periods covered, except as disclosed therein. Except for Permitted Encumbrances, Borrower does not have any contingent liabilities, liabilities for taxes, unusual forward or long-term commitments or unrealized or anticipated losses from any unfavorable commitments that are known to Borrower and reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Property or the operation thereof as a hotel, except as referred to or reflected in said financial statements. Since the date of such financial statements, there has been no material adverse change in the financial condition, operation or business of Borrower from that set forth in said financial statements.

4.1.18 Enforceability. The Loan Documents are not subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense by Borrower, Principal or Guarantor, including the defense of usury, nor would the operation of any of the terms of the Loan Documents, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render the Loan Documents unenforceable (subject to principles of equity and bankruptcy, insolvency and other laws generally affecting creditors’ rights and the
47
enforcement of debtors’ obligations), and Borrower, Principal and Guarantor have not asserted any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense with respect thereto.

4.1.38 Ground Lease. Borrower hereby represents and warrants to Lender the following with respect to the Ground Lease:
(a) Recording; Modification. A memorandum of the Ground Lease has been duly recorded. The Ground Lease permits the interest of Borrower to be encumbered by a mortgage in accordance with the terms thereof. There have not been amendments or modifications to the terms of the Ground Lease since its recordation, with the exception of written instruments which have been recorded. Ground Lessor’s right to cancel, terminate, or surrender the Ground Lease is subject to Lender’s right to cure Borrower’s defaults thereunder and Lender’s right to commence a foreclosure, as more fully set forth in Section 8.5 of the Ground Lease. The Ground Lease may not be amended without the prior written consent of Lender.
(b) No Liens. Except for the Permitted Encumbrances, Borrower’s interest in the Ground Lease is not subject to any Liens or encumbrances superior to, or of equal priority with, the Mortgage other than Ground Lessor’s related fee interest.
(c) Ground Lease Assignable. Borrower’s interest in the Ground Lease is assignable to Lender without the consent of Ground Lessor (or, if any such consent is required, it has been obtained prior to the Closing Date).
(d) Default. As of the date hereof, the Ground Lease is in full force and effect and no default is continuing under the Ground Lease and there is no existing condition which, but for the passage of time and/or the giving of notice, is reasonably likely to result in a default under the terms of the Ground Lease. All Ground Rent has been paid in full. Neither Borrower nor, to Borrower’s knowledge, Ground Lessor under the Ground Lease has commenced any action or given or received any notice for the purpose of terminating the Ground Lease.
(e) Notice. The Ground Lease requires Ground Lessor to give Lender a duplicate copy of any written notice of default or other written notice given to Borrower under the Ground Lease, and any such notice is not effective against Lender unless a copy of such notice has been delivered to Lender in the manner described in the Ground Lease.
(f) Cure. Lender is permitted the opportunity (including, where necessary, sufficient time to gain possession of the interest of Borrower under the Ground Lease) to cure any default under the Ground Lease which is curable, after the receipt of notice of the default, before Ground Lessor may terminate the Ground Lease.
(g) Term. The Ground Lease has a term which extends not less than twenty (20) years beyond the Stated Maturity Date.
(h) New Lease. The Ground Lease requires Ground Lessor to enter into a new lease with Lender upon termination of the Ground Lease for any reason (including rejection of the Ground Lease in a bankruptcy proceeding) other than (i) expiration of the term or (ii) as a result of eminent domain or casualty or destruction or the exercise of Borrower’s rights under Article 21 of the Ground Lease.
(i) Insurance Proceeds. Under the terms of the Ground Lease and the Mortgage, taken together, any related insurance and condemnation proceeds will be applied to the repair or restoration of all or part of the Property, with an insurance trustee (which may be Lender) having the right to hold and disburse the proceeds as the repair or restoration progresses.
52
(j) Subleasing. The Ground Lease imposes certain restrictions on subleasing, provided that subleasing of less than all of the Property is permitted without Ground Lessor’s consent if the term of the sublease does not expire later than the term of the Ground Lease and the sublessee meets certain standards regarding experience, reputation and financial responsibility, as described in Section 12.2 of the Ground Lease.
Section 4.2 Survival of Representations. Borrower agrees that all of the representations and warranties of Borrower set forth in Section 4.1 hereof and elsewhere in this Agreement and in the other Loan Documents shall survive for so long as any amount remains owing to Lender under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents by Borrower.

ARTICLE 5
BORROWER COVENANTS
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, Borrower hereby covenants and agrees with Lender that:
5.1.1 Existence; Compliance with Legal Requirements. Borrower 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 and the Property. There shall never be committed by Borrower, and Borrower shall not permit any other Person in occupancy of or involved with the 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. Borrower hereby covenants and agrees not to commit, permit or suffer to exist any act or omission affording such right of forfeiture. Borrower shall at all times reasonably maintain, preserve and protect all material franchises and material trade names, preserve all the remainder of its property used or useful in the conduct of its business, and shall keep the Property in reasonably 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 Mortgage. Borrower 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 notice to Lender, Borrower, 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 Borrower or the Property or any alleged violation of any Legal Requirement, provided, that: (a) no Release Default or Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured; (b) Borrower is permitted to do so under the provisions of any mortgage or deed of trust superior in lien to the
53
Mortgage; (c) such proceeding shall be permitted under and be conducted in accordance with the provisions of any instrument to which Borrower is subject and shall not constitute a default thereunder and such proceeding shall be conducted in accordance with all applicable statutes, laws and ordinances; (d) neither the Property nor any part thereof or interest therein will be in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost; (e) Borrower shall, upon final determination thereof, promptly comply with any such Legal Requirement determined to be valid or applicable or cure any violation of any Legal Requirement; (f) such proceeding shall suspend the enforcement of the contested Legal Requirement against Borrower and/or the Property; and (g) Borrower 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 imminent danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost.
5.1.2 Taxes and Other Charges. Borrower 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 obligation to directly pay Taxes shall be suspended for so long as adequate reserves for same are maintained pursuant to Section 7.2 hereof. Borrower shall furnish to Lender receipts for the payment of the Taxes and the Other Charges prior to the date the same shall become delinquent provided, however, Borrower is not required to furnish such receipts for payment of Taxes in the event that such Taxes have been paid by Lender pursuant to Section 7.2 hereof. Borrower shall not suffer and shall promptly cause to be paid and discharged any Lien or charge whatsoever which may be or become a Lien or charge against the Property and that is prohibited in accordance with Section 5.2.2 hereof, and shall pay for all utility services provided to the Property prior to delinquency. After prior notice to Lender, Borrower, 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, Other Charges or other Liens, provided, that: (a) no Release Default or Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured; (b) Borrower is permitted to contest same under the provisions of any mortgage or deed of trust superior in lien to the Mortgage; (c) such proceeding shall be permitted under and be conducted in accordance with the provisions of any other instrument to which Borrower is subject and shall not constitute a default thereunder and such proceeding shall be conducted in accordance with all applicable statutes, laws and ordinances; (d) neither the Property nor any part thereof or interest therein will be in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost; (e) Borrower 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; (f) such proceeding shall suspend the collection of such contested Taxes or Other Charges from the Property; and (g) Borrower 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. Lender may pay over any such other security or part thereof held by Lender to the claimant entitled thereto at any time when, in the judgment of Lender, the entitlement of such claimant is established or the Property (or any part thereof or interest therein) shall be in imminent danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated,
54
cancelled or lost or there shall be any danger of the Lien of the Mortgage or the Second Mortgage being primed by any related Lien.
5.1.3 Litigation. Borrower shall give prompt notice to Lender of any litigation or governmental proceedings pending or threatened in writing against Borrower, Principal and/or Guarantor which is reasonably likely to cause a Material Adverse Effect.

Borrower shall cooperate fully with Lender with respect to any proceedings before any court, board or other Governmental Authority which may in any way 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 shall 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.

5.1.8 Award and Insurance Benefits. Borrower 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 reasonably 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 shall, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense:
(a) 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 pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents or which are reasonably requested by Lender in connection therewith;

Lender shall have the right from time to time at all times during normal business hours upon reasonable notice (which may be verbal) to examine such books, records and accounts at the office of Borrower 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 of an Event of Default, Borrower shall pay any costs and expenses incurred by Lender to examine Borrower’s accounting records with respect to the Property, as Lender shall determine to be necessary or appropriate in the protection of Lender’s interest.

56
that such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and as of the date thereof whether there exists an event or circumstance which constitutes a Default or Event of Default under the Loan Documents executed and delivered by, or applicable to, Borrower, the Other Borrowers or Guarantor, and if such Default or an Event of Default exists, the nature thereof, the period of time it has existed and the action then being taken to remedy the same.

The Annual FF&E Budget shall provide for FF&E expenditures equal to at least four (4%) percent of the Gross Income from Operations derived from the operation of the Property during the preceding calendar year. The Annual Budget shall be subject to Lender’s reasonable written approval (each such Annual Budget as so approved in writing by Lender, is herein referred to as an “Approved Annual Budget”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, variances between budgeted and actual amounts in the Approved Annual Budget may vary by up to the greater of ten percent (10%) or $10,000.00 with respect to any one (1) line item and up to five percent (5%) in the aggregate for the entire Approved Annual Budget without the consent of Lender. The Annual FF&E Budget shall likewise be subject to Lender’s reasonable written approval (each such Annual FF&E Budget as so approved in writing by Lender, is herein referred to as an “Approved Annual FF&E Budget”).

Until such time that Lender approves a proposed Annual Budget and/or Annual FF&E Budget (or approval is deemed given), the most recently Approved Annual Budget and/or Annual Approved FF&E Budget shall apply; provided, that, such Approved Annual Budget shall be adjusted to reflect actual increase in utility costs, Taxes, Insurance Premiums and Other Charges.
(k) In the event that, Borrower must incur an extraordinary Operating Expense or Capital Expenditure 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 together with all invoices or other backup reasonably required by Lender to substitute such proposed Extraordinary Expense and the amount thereof; provided, that, in the event Borrower is required to incur Extraordinary Expenses before Lender’s consent is granted due to emergencies involving imminent danger to person or property Lender’s consent shall not be required with respect to such emergency only provided that Borrower shall promptly provide Lender with a reasonably detailed description of such expenditures and the emergency following same. No Rents may be used to pay an Extraordinary Expense unless and until Lender has reasonably approved same in writing, which approval will not by unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, however, Lender shall be deemed to have consented to such Extraordinary Expense if Lender has not provided Borrower
58
with a written notice of denial within ten (10) Business Days of Lender’s receipt of such request so long as Borrower’s request is submitted with the words “IMMEDIATE RESPONSE REQUIRED, DEEMED APPROVED IF NO RESPONSE RECEIVED WITHIN TEN (10) BUSINESS DAYS” in bold print, all capital letters, in 14 point or larger and prominently displayed at the top of any correspondence and on any envelope containing the request. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender’s consent shall not be required for the payment of Taxes, Insurance Premiums or utilities with respect to the Property in excess of the amounts provided for in the Approved Annual Budget for such items provided that Borrower shall provide prompt notice to Lender of such increases following Borrower’s knowledge of such increase.
(l) Any reports, statements or other information required to be delivered under this Agreement shall be delivered (i) in paper form, (ii) on a diskette, and (iii) if requested by Lender and within the capabilities of Borrower’s data systems without change or modification thereto, in electronic form and prepared using a Microsoft Word for Windows or WordPerfect for Windows files (which files may be prepared using a spreadsheet program and saved as word processing files).

Borrower shall not, without the prior consent of Lender, surrender the leasehold estate created by the Ground Lease or terminate or cancel the Ground Lease or modify, change, supplement, alter or amend the Ground Lease, in any material respect, either orally or in writing, and Borrower hereby assigns to Lender, as further security for the payment and performance of the Obligations and for the performance and observance of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Mortgage, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, all of the rights, privileges and prerogatives of Borrower, as tenant under the Ground Lease, to surrender the leasehold estate created by the Ground Lease or to terminate, cancel, modify, change, supplement, alter or amend the Ground Lease in any material respect, and any such surrender of the leasehold estate created by the Ground Lease or termination, cancellation, modification, change, supplement, alteration or amendment of the Ground Lease in any material respect without the prior consent of Lender shall be void and of no force and effect. If Borrower shall default in the performance or observance of any material term, covenant or condition of the Ground Lease on the part of Borrower, as tenant thereunder, to be performed or observed, then, without limiting the generality of the other provisions of the Mortgage, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and without waiving or releasing Borrower from any of its Obligations hereunder, Lender shall have the right, but shall be under no obligation, to pay any sums and to perform any act or take any action as may be appropriate to cause all of the material terms, covenants and conditions of the Ground Lease on the part of Borrower, as tenant thereunder, to be performed or observed or to be promptly performed or observed on behalf of Borrower, to the end that the rights of Borrower in, to and under the Ground Lease shall be kept unimpaired as a result thereof and free from default, even though the existence of such event of default or the nature thereof be questioned or denied by Borrower or by any party on behalf of Borrower. If Lender shall make any payment or perform any act or take action in accordance with the preceding sentence, Lender will notify Borrower three (3) days after the making of any such payment, the performance of any such act or the taking of any such action, unless a shorter period is required to preserve the Ground Lease. In any such event, subject to the rights of Tenants, subtenants and other occupants under the Leases, Lender and any Person designated as Lender’s agent by Lender shall have, and are hereby granted, the right to enter upon the Property at any reasonable time, on reasonable notice (which may be given verbally) and from time to time for the purpose of taking any such action. Lender may pay and expend such sums of money as Lender reasonably deems necessary for any such purpose and upon so doing shall be subrogated to any and all rights of the landlord under the Ground Lease. Borrower hereby agrees to pay to Lender within five (5) Business Days after demand, all such sums so paid and expended by Lender, together with interest thereon from the day of such payment at the Default Rate. All sums so paid and
69
expended by Lender and the interest thereon shall be secured by the legal operation and effect of the Mortgage. If Ground Lessor shall deliver to Lender a copy of any notice of default sent by said lessor to Borrower, as tenant under the Ground Lease, such notice shall constitute full protection to Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken by Lender, in good faith, in reliance thereon. Borrower shall exercise each individual option, if any, to extend or renew the term of the Ground Lease upon demand by Lender made at any time within one (1) year prior to the last day upon which any such option may be exercised, and if Borrower shall fail to do so, Borrower hereby expressly authorizes and appoints Lender its attorney-in-fact to exercise any such option in the name of and upon behalf of the Borrower, which power of attorney shall be irrevocable, shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest with full power of substitution. Borrower will not subordinate or consent to the subordination of the Ground Lease to any mortgage, security deed, lease or other interest on or in Ground Lessor’s interest in all or any part of the Property, unless, in each such case, the written consent of Lender shall have been first had and obtained.

Borrower shall obtain the approval of Lender, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed by Lender, before entering into any franchise agreement (the “Franchise Agreement”) with any franchisor (the “Franchisor”) that provides for, or permits, the operation of the Property under such Franchisor’s brand or “flag”. Any Franchise Agreement must include, among other things, rights in the Franchisor’s reservation system and a term of not less than the remaining term of the Loan. Borrower shall deliver to Lender any such Franchise Agreement for Lender’s review and approval.
(b) If Borrower shall enter into any Franchise Agreement, Lender shall receive within thirty (30) days following the execution of such Franchise Agreement a comfort letter from the Franchisor, in which Franchisor shall agree (i) that Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cure any defaults under the Franchise Agreement, (ii) to give Lender written notice of, and a reasonable time to cure, any default of Borrower under the Franchise Agreement; (iii) not to assert against Lender any defaults which by their nature are personal to Borrower and are not curable by Lender; (iv) to allow Lender to change managers of the Property; (v) that, if Lender or its affiliate shall acquire title to the Property, Lender or its affiliate shall have an option to succeed to the interest of Borrower under the Franchise Agreement (or to be granted a new Franchise Agreement on the same terms as the Franchise Agreement) without payment of any fees to Franchisor (other than nominal, processing fees); (vi) that the Franchise Agreement will remain in effect during any foreclosure proceedings by Lender provided Lender cures all monetary defaults under the Franchise Agreement; (vii) not to modify, cancel, surrender or otherwise terminate the Franchise Agreement during the Term without the consent of Lender; and (viii) that if Lender or its Affiliate succeeds to Borrower’s interest under the Franchise Agreement, Lender may assign its rights therein to any entity which acquires the Property from Lender or its Affiliate (subject to Franchisor’s reasonable approval).
70
The foregoing to the contrary notwithstanding, Lender will not unreasonably withhold approval of Franchisor’s standard form of “comfort letter”.
(c) Borrower shall not, and Borrower shall not permit any Affiliate to, modify, cancel, surrender or otherwise terminate the Franchise Agreement during the Term without the consent of Lender, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided that, in connection with a cancellation, surrender or termination, such Franchise Agreement shall be replaced with a substitute franchise agreement reasonably approved by Lender or such other arrangement for the operation of the Property, reasonably approved by Lender. Borrower shall promptly deliver to Lender copies of any notices of default sent or received by or on behalf of Borrower or any of its Affiliates under the Franchise Agreement.
(d) Borrower shall at all times that the Debt is outstanding cause the hotel located on the Property to be operated as (i) a “Wyndham” or a “Summerfield Suites” hotel (or in the name of any successor entity), or (ii) a hotel franchise of a first class, reputable hotel franchise reasonably acceptable to Lender pursuant to a franchise agreement and management agreement reasonably acceptable to Lender.
(e) Borrower 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 Franchise Agreement and do all things necessary to preserve and to keep unimpaired its material rights thereunder; |
(ii) | promptly notify Lender of any default under the Franchise Agreement of which it is aware; |
(iii) | promptly deliver to Lender a copy of each financial statement, business plan, capital expenditures plan, notice, report and estimate received by it under the Franchise Agreement; |
(iv) | promptly enforce the performance and observance in all material respects of all of the covenants and agreements required to be performed and/or observed by the franchisor under the Franchise Agreement; and |
(v) | exercise all rights of renewals or extension of the Franchise Agreement (and Borrower hereby appoints Lender as its attorney-in-fact to exercise such options in the name of and on behalf of Borrower, which power of attorney shall be irrevocable and shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest). |

INSURANCE; CASUALTY; CONDEMNATION;
Section 6.1 Insurance.
(a) Borrower shall obtain and maintain, or cause to be maintained, insurance for Borrower and the Property providing at least the following coverages:
(i) | comprehensive all risk insurance on the Improvements and the Personal Property, including contingent liability from Operation of Building Laws, Demolition Costs and Increased Cost of Construction Endorsements, in each case (A) in an amount equal to 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) with a waiver of depreciation, but the amount shall in no event be less than the Outstanding Principal Balance; (B) containing an agreed amount endorsement with respect to the Improvements and Personal Property waiving all co-insurance provisions; (C) for all such insurance coverage, providing for no deductible in excess of One Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($100,000); and (D) containing an “Ordinance or Law Coverage” or “Enforcement” endorsement if any of the Improvements or the use of the Property shall at any time constitute legal non-conforming structures or uses. In addition, Borrower shall obtain: (x) if any portion of the Improvements is currently or at any time in the future located in a federally designated “special flood hazard area”, flood hazard insurance in an amount equal to the lesser of (1) the Outstanding Principal Balance or (2) 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 or such greater amount as Lender shall require; (y) earthquake insurance in amounts and in form and substance satisfactory to Lender in the event the Property is located in an area with a high degree of seismic activity and (z) coastal windstorm insurance in amounts and in form and substance satisfactory to Lender (and with deductibles of 3% of the insured value) in the event the Property is located in any coastal region, provided that the insurance pursuant to clauses (x), (y) and (z) hereof shall be on terms consistent with the comprehensive all risk insurance policy required under this subsection (i). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the insurance coverage required herein is maintained by Wyndham through a blanket policy of insurance and the deductible for such insurance coverage is greater than $100,000.00, Borrower may satisfy the |
72
deductible requirements herein by delivering to Lender a Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the difference between such deductible, as the same may be adjusted during the term of this Loan, as extended, and $100,000.00, and Lender shall, in the event of a casualty, apply such security from time to time if requested to do so by Borrower to pay for any Restoration or, if an Event of Default occurs, such Letter of Credit shall constitute additional collateral for the Loan and Lender may apply such sums as otherwise provided in this Agreement. |
(ii) | commercial general liability insurance, including a broad form comprehensive general liability endorsement and coverages 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 Two Million and No/100 Dollars ($2,000,000) in the aggregate and One Million and No/100 Dollars ($1,000,000) per occurrence (and, if on a blanket policy, containing an “Aggregate Per Location” endorsement); (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) blanket contractual liability for all legal contracts; and (5) contractual liability covering the indemnities contained in Article 8 of the Mortgage to the extent the same is available; |
(iii) | rental loss and/or business income interruption 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) 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 twelve (12) 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; and (D) in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the projected Gross Income from Operations for a period of eighteen (18) months from the date of such Casualty (assuming such Casualty had not occurred) and notwithstanding that the policy may expire at the end of such period. The amount of such business income insurance shall be determined prior to the date hereof and at least once each year thereafter based on Borrower’s reasonable estimate of the Gross Income from Operations for the |
73
succeeding eighteen (18) month period. Nothing set forth in this Agreement 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 the Note and the other Loan Documents except to the extent such amounts are actually paid out of the proceeds of such business income insurance; |
(iv) | 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 covering claims not covered by or under the terms or provisions of the above 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; |
(v) | if the Property includes commercial property, worker’s compensation insurance with respect to any employees of Borrower, as required by any Governmental Authority or Legal Requirement; |
(vi) | comprehensive boiler and machinery insurance, if applicable, in amounts as shall be reasonably required by Lender on terms consistent with the commercial property insurance policy required under subsection (i) above; |
(vii) | umbrella liability insurance in an amount not less than Twenty Million and No/100 Dollars ($20,000,000.00) per occurrence on terms consistent with the commercial general liability insurance policy required under subsection (ii) above; |
(viii) | motor vehicle liability coverage for all owned and non-owned vehicles, including rented and leased vehicles containing minimum limits per occurrence, including umbrella coverage, of One Million and No/100 Dollars ($1,000,000.00); |
(ix) | if the Property is or becomes a legal “non-conforming” use, ordinance or law coverage and insurance coverage to compensate for the cost of demolition or rebuilding of the undamaged portion of the Property along with any reduced value and the increased cost of construction in amounts as requested by Lender; |
74
(x) | at all times during the term of the Loan, the commercial property and business income insurance required under Sections 6.1(a)(i) and (iii) above shall cover perils of foreign terrorism and acts of foreign terrorism and Borrower shall maintain commercial property and business income insurance for loss resulting from perils and acts of foreign terrorism on terms (including amounts) reasonably acceptable to Lender for so long as such coverage is (A) commercially available and (B) provided that such insurance does not exceed $100,000.00 in the aggregate for the Property and the Other Properties. If the cost of such terrorism insurance exceeds $100,000.00 in the aggregate for the Property and the Other Properties, Borrower shall obtain the maximum amount of acceptable insurance possible for an amount equal to $100,000.00 in the aggregate for the Property and the Other Properties; and |
(xi) | upon sixty (60) days’ 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 properties 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) shall be obtained under valid and enforceable policies (collectively, the “Policies” or in the singular, the “Policy”), 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 authorized to do business in the State and having a claims paying ability rating of “A” or better. The Policies described in Section 6.1(a) (other than those strictly limited to liability protection) shall designate Lender as loss payee. Not less than ten (10) days prior to the expiration dates of the Policies theretofore furnished to Lender, certificates of insurance evidencing the Policies accompanied by evidence satisfactory to Lender of payment of the premiums due thereunder (the “Insurance Premiums”), shall be delivered by Borrower to Lender.
(c) Any blanket insurance Policy shall specifically allocate to the Property the amount of coverage from time to time required hereunder and shall otherwise provide the same protection as would a separate Policy insuring only the Property in compliance with the provisions of Section 6.1(a).
(d) All Policies provided for or contemplated by Section 6.1(a), except for the Policy referenced in Section 6.1(a)(v), shall name Borrower as the insured and Lender (and its affiliates) as the additional insured, as its interests may appear, and in the case of property damage, boiler and machinery, flood and earthquake insurance, shall contain a so-called New York standard non-contributing mortgagee clause in favor of Lender providing that the loss thereunder shall be payable to Lender.
75
(e) All Policies provided for in Section 6.1 shall contain clauses or endorsements to the effect that:
(i) | no act or negligence of Borrower, or anyone acting for Borrower, or of any tenant or other occupant, or failure to comply with the provisions of any Policy, which might otherwise result in a forfeiture of the insurance or any part thereof, shall in any way affect the validity or enforceability of the insurance insofar as Lender is concerned; |
(ii) | the Policies shall not be materially changed (other than to increase the coverage provided thereby) or canceled without at least thirty (30) days’ notice (or ten (10) days’ notice with respect to non-payment) to Lender and any other party named therein as an additional insured; |
(iii) | the issuers thereof shall give notice to Lender if the Policies have not been renewed fifteen (15) days prior to its expiration; and |
(iv) | Lender shall not be liable for any Insurance Premiums thereon or subject to any assessments thereunder. |
(f) If at any time Lender is not in receipt of written evidence that all Policies are in full force and effect, Lender shall give notice (which notice may be oral) thereof to Borrower and Borrower shall within two (2) Business Days of such notice, deliver such written evidence as Lender shall reasonably require that all policies are in full force and effect. If Borrower does not provide Lender with such evidence that all Policies are in full force and effect within two (2) Business Days of Lender’s notice, Lender shall have the right, without further notice to Borrower, 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. 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 shall (a) give prompt notice of such damage to Lender, and (b) promptly commence and diligently prosecute the completion of the Restoration so that the Property resembles, as nearly as possible, the condition the Property was in immediately prior to such Casualty, with such alterations as may be reasonably approved by Lender and otherwise in accordance with Section 6.4. Borrower shall pay all costs of such Restoration whether or not such costs are covered by insurance. Lender may, but shall not be obligated to make proof of loss if not made promptly by Borrower. In addition, Lender may approve (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) any settlement 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 Five Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars
76
($500,000.00) and Borrower shall deliver to Lender all instruments required by Lender to permit such participation.
Section 6.3 Condemnation. Borrower shall promptly give Lender notice of the actual or threatened commencement of any proceeding in respect of Condemnation and shall deliver to Lender copies of any and all papers served in connection with such proceedings. Lender may participate in any such proceedings, and Borrower shall from time to time deliver to Lender all instruments requested by Lender to permit such participation. Borrower shall, at its expense, diligently prosecute any such proceedings, and shall consult with Lender, its attorneys and experts, and cooperate with them in the carrying on or defense of any such proceedings. Notwithstanding any taking by any public or quasi-public authority through Condemnation or otherwise (including, but not limited to, any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of the exercise of such taking), Borrower shall continue to perform the Obligations at the time and in the manner provided in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the Outstanding Principal Balance shall not be reduced until any Award shall have been actually received and applied by Lender, after the deduction of expenses of collection, to the reduction or discharge of the Obligations. Lender shall not be limited to the interest paid on the Award by the applicable Governmental Authority but shall be entitled to receive out of the Award interest at the rate or rates provided herein or in the Note. If the Property or any portion thereof is taken by a Governmental Authority, Borrower shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute Restoration and otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 6.4. If the Property is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Lender of the Award, Lender shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Note shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive the Award, or a portion thereof sufficient to pay the Debt. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 6.3 or the Deed of Trust to the contrary, Lender may, in its sole discretion, elect to (y) apply the net proceeds of any condemnation award (after deduction of Lender’s reasonable costs and expenses, if any, in collecting the same) in reduction of the Debt in such order and manner as Lender may elect, whether due or not, or (z) make the proceeds available to Borrower for the Restoration or repair of the Property. Any implied covenant in this Deed of Trust restricting the right of Lender to make such an election is waived by Borrower. In addition, Borrower hereby waives the provisions of any law prohibiting Lender from making such an election, including, without limitation, the provisions of California Code of Civil Procedure commencing with Section 1265.210. If the net proceeds of the condemnation award are made available to Borrower for restoration or repair, the net proceeds of the condemnation award shall be disbursed upon satisfaction of and in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 6.3.
Section 6.4 Restoration. The following provisions shall apply in connection with the Restoration:
(a) If the Net Proceeds shall be less than Five Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($500,000.00) and the costs of completing the Restoration shall be less than Five Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($500,000.00), 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) 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.
77
(b) If the Net Proceeds are equal to or greater than Five Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($500,000.00) or the costs of completing the Restoration is equal to or greater than One Million and No/100 Dollars ($1,000,000.00), the Net Proceeds will be held by Lender and 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), (vi), (ix) and (x) as a result of such damage or destruction, after deduction of its 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 Lender’s reasonable costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable counsel costs and fees), if any, in collecting same (“Condemnation Proceeds”), whichever the case may be.
(i) | The Net Proceeds shall be made available to Borrower for Restoration upon the approval of Lender in its sole discretion that 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 twenty-five percent (25%) 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 ten percent (10%) of the land constituting the Property is taken, and such land is located along the perimeter or periphery of the Property, and no material portion of the Improvements is located on such land;
(C) Borrower shall commence Restoration as soon as reasonably practicable (but in no event later than sixty (60) days after such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, occurs) and shall diligently pursue the same to satisfactory completion (it being agreed that the development of Building Plans shall constitute commencement of the 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)(iii), if applicable, or (3) by other funds of Borrower;
(E) Lender shall be satisfied that Restoration will be completed on or before the earliest to occur of (1) three (3) months prior to the Maturity Date as the same is extended pursuant to Section 2.7 hereof (and if necessary to satisfy this requirement, the period set forth in Section 2.7 during which Borrower may exercise any option to extend the term of the Loan shall be extended to permit Borrower to exercise such extension option, but in no event more than twelve (12)
78
months prior to the then Maturity Date, (2) such time as may be required under applicable Legal Requirements, or (3) the expiration of the insurance coverage referred to in Section 6.1(a)(iii) unless Borrower has deposited with Lender prior to the commencement of the Restoration sums sufficient after the expiration of such insurance to (x) operate the Property in a manner consistent with the manner in which the Property was operated immediately prior to such Casualty or Condemnation and (y) pay all sums as they become due under the Loan in a timely manner;
(F) the Property and the use thereof after Restoration will be in compliance with and permitted under all applicable Legal Requirements;
(G) Restoration shall be done and completed by Borrower 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) upon completion of the Restoration, the projected Net Operating Income for the following twelve (12) month period as reasonably estimated by Lender, shall be sufficient to achieve a Debt Service Coverage Ratio of at least 1.50 to 1.00 (and for purposes of this clause (I) only, the Debt Service Coverage Ratio shall be calculated at the interest rate computed in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement at a deemed annual rate of 8.20%);
(J) Borrower shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Lender a signed detailed budget approved in writing by Borrower’s architect or engineer stating the entire cost of completing the Restoration; and
(K) the Net Proceeds together with any cash or cash equivalent deposited by Borrower with Lender are sufficient in Lender’s reasonable discretion to cover the cost of Restoration.
(ii) | The Net Proceeds shall be paid directly to Lender for deposit in an interest-bearing account and, until disbursed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4(b), shall constitute additional security for the Debt and the Other Obligations. The Net Proceeds shall be disbursed by Lender to, or as directed by, Borrower from time to time during the course of 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 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 |
79
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; provided, however, Lender shall disburse to, or as directed by, Borrower up to ten percent (10%) of the Net Proceeds received by Lender to fund deposits to contractors, subcontractors and/or materialmen when necessary, to secure timely performance of the Restoration, due to the occurrence of a catastrophic event such as a hurricane or earthquake, upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to Lender that such deposits are required to be paid. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender shall have no obligation under this paragraph unless and until Net Proceeds have been received by it and Borrower has complied with the provisions of the preceding sentence. |
(iii) | All plans and specifications required in connection with the Restoration shall be subject to prior review and reasonable acceptance in all respects by Lender and by an independent consulting engineer selected by Lender (the “Casualty Consultant”). In connection with the delivery of the plans and specifications to Lender and/or Casualty Consultant by Borrower, if Borrower marks such delivery with a legend marked in not less than fourteen (14) point bold face type, underlined, in all capital letters “ATTACHED PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS DEEMED APPROVED IF NO RESPONSE WITHIN FIFTEEN (15) BUSINESS DAYS”, and Lender and/or the Casualty Consultant fails to respond to the delivery of such plans and specifications within such fifteen (15) Business Day period, Lender shall be deemed to have approved such Plans and Specifications. 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 Restoration including, without limitation, reasonable counsel fees and disbursements and the reasonable Casualty Consultant’s fees, shall be paid by 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 work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, minus the Casualty Retainage. The term “Casualty Retainage” shall mean, as to each contractor, subcontractor or materialman engaged in the |
80
Restoration, 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 Restoration has been fifty percent (50%) completed, at which point no additional Retainage shall be required (i.e., upon completion of the Restoration the Retainage shall equal 5% of the cost of the work). The Casualty Retainage shall in no event, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above in this Section 6.4(b), be less than the amount actually held back by Borrower from contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration. The Casualty Retainage shall not be released until the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that 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 Authorities, and Lender receives evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that the costs of 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, and, provided that the State in which the Property is located is a jurisdiction in which the priority of the Lien of the Mortgage will not be affected by intervening mechanic’s liens, the Lender receives an update to the Title Insurance Policy indicating the continued priority of the Lien of the Mortgage. 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 reasonably estimated by the Casualty Consultant to be incurred in connection with the completion of the Restoration, |
81
Borrower shall deposit the deficiency (the “Net Proceeds Deficiency”) with Lender before any further disbursement of the Net Proceeds shall be made. The Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender shall be held by Lender and shall be disbursed for costs actually incurred in connection with the Restoration on the same conditions applicable to the disbursement of the Net Proceeds, and until so disbursed pursuant to this Section 6.4(b) shall constitute additional security for the Debt and the Other Obligations. |
(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 Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4(b), and the receipt by Lender of evidence satisfactory to Lender that all costs incurred in connection with the Restoration have been paid in full, shall be remitted by Lender to Borrower, provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and shall be continuing. |
(c) All Net Proceeds not required (i) to be made available for Restoration, or (ii) to be returned to Borrower as excess Net Proceeds pursuant to Section 6.4(b)(vii) may be retained and applied by Lender in accordance with Section 2.4.2 hereof toward the payment of the Outstanding Principal Balance whether or not then due and payable in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall deem proper, or, in the sole 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 sole discretion.
(d) In the event of foreclosure of the Mortgage, or other transfer of title to the Property in extinguishment in whole or in part of the Debt, all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to the Policies that are not blanket Policies then in force concerning 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 any provision to the contrary contained herein, in the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document and the terms of the Ground Lease, the terms of the Ground Lease shall control.

Section 7.1 Intentionally Omitted.
Section 7.2 Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds. On the date hereof, Borrower shall deposit with Lender $71,280.09 on account of the Taxes next coming due and $30,732.31 on account of the Insurance Premiums next coming due. Additionally, Borrower shall pay to
82
Lender on each Payment Date (a) one-twelfth of the Taxes that Lender estimates will be payable during the next ensuing twelve (12) months in order to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Taxes at least thirty (30) days prior to their respective due dates, and (b) one-twelfth 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 (the foregoing amounts deposited with Lender on the date hereof and in clauses (a) and (b) above are hereinafter called the “Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds”). The Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds and the payment of the monthly Debt Service, shall be added together and shall be paid as an aggregate sum by Borrower to Lender. Lender will apply the Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds to payments of Taxes and Insurance Premiums required to be made by Borrower pursuant to Section 5.1.2 hereof 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) 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. If the amount of the Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds shall exceed the amounts due for Taxes and Insurance Premiums pursuant to Section 5.1.2 hereof, Lender shall, following written request by Borrower, promptly return any excess to Borrower. Any amount remaining in the Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds after the Debt has been paid in full shall be returned to Borrower. In allocating such excess, Lender may deal with the Person shown on the records of Lender to be the owner of the Property. If at any time Lender reasonably determines that the Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds are not or will not be sufficient to pay Taxes and Insurance Premiums by the dates set forth in (a) and (b) above, Lender shall notify Borrower of such determination and Borrower shall increase its monthly payments to Lender by the amount that Lender estimates is sufficient to make up the deficiency at least thirty (30) days prior to the due date of the Taxes and/or thirty (30) days prior to expiration of the Policies, as the case may be.
Section 7.3 FF&E Reserve.
7.3.1 FF&E Reserve Funds. Borrower shall deposit with Lender on the Closing Date one-twelfth of the amount of the Approved FF&E Budget (the “FF&E Reserve Deposit”). The amount of the FF&E Reserve Deposit shall be recalculated annually during the term of the Loan, as of January 1 of each year (or as soon thereafter as Gross Income from Operations for the preceding year shall be determined to Lender’s reasonable satisfaction) such that the FF&E Reserve Deposit shall be equal to four (4%) percent of the prior year’s Gross Income from Operations divided by twelve (12). Amounts so deposited shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrower’s “FF&E Reserve Funds” and the account in which such amounts are held shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrower’s “FF&E Reserve Account.” Within thirty (30) days following the end of each calendar quarter, Borrower shall provide to Lender a preliminary report with respect to the expenditures made by or on behalf of Borrower with respect to the Property for FF&E during such calendar quarter. In the event that the lesser of (a) the Approved Annual FF&E Budget for such calendar quarter (provided such Approved Annual FF&E Budget is not less than four (4%) percent of the Gross Income from Operations for such quarter) or (b) four (4%) percent of the actual Gross Income from Operations for such quarter, exceeds the actual expenditures made by Borrower for FF&E for such quarter, Borrower shall deposit an
83
amount equal to any such difference in the FF&E Reserve Account to be held as FF&E Reserve Funds to be disbursed pursuant to the provisions of this Section 7.3. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the amount of any such deposit required to be made by Borrower shall be reduced by the amount of any actual expenditure made by Borrower for any FF&E completed prior to the calendar quarter in which such FF&E was scheduled to be made pursuant to the Approved Annual FF&E Budget. If the actual expenditures made by Borrower for FF&E exceeds the lesser of (x) the Approved Annual FF&E Budget for such calendar quarter (provided such Approved Annual FF&E Budget is not less than four (4%) percent of the Gross Income from Operations for such quarter) or (b) four (4%) percent of the actual Gross Income from Operations for such quarter, Lender shall reimburse Borrower for such excess to the extent that funds are available from the FF&E Reserve Account within fifteen (15) days from Borrower’s request. To the extent there are not sufficient funds in the FF&E Reserve Account to reimburse Borrower for any excess actual expenditures during such calendar quarter, such excess expenditures shall be added to the actual expenditures for the next calendar quarter in the determination of any amounts required to be deposited in the FF&E Reserve Account for such calendar quarter. In lieu of making any required deposits to the FF&E Reserve Account (other than the FF&E Reserve Deposit), Borrower may deliver to Lender a Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the amount that is required to be deposited into the FF&E Reserve Account. Such Letter of Credit shall constitute additional collateral for the Loan and Lender shall have the right to draw down upon such Letter of Credit and apply the proceeds thereof for purposes set forth in the Approved FF&E Budget if Borrower fails to do so within a reasonable time after notice from Lender, or Lender may apply such sums as otherwise provided in this Agreement following an Event of Default. All earnings or interest on the FF&E Reserve Funds shall be and become part of the FF&E Reserve Funds and shall be disbursed as provided in this Section 7.3.
7.3.2 Disbursements from FF&E Reserve Account. Lender shall make disbursements from the FF&E Reserve Account as provided in Section 7.3.1 following request by Borrower, and, if required by Lender for disbursements in excess of $100,000.00 for a single item, lien waivers and releases from all parties furnishing materials and/or services in connection with the requested payment. Lender may require an inspection of the Property at Borrower’s expense prior to making a monthly disbursement in order to verify completion of replacements and repairs of items in excess of $100,000.00 for which reimbursement is sought.
7.3.3 Balance in the FF&E Account. The insufficiency of any balance in the FF&E Reserve Account shall not relieve Borrower from its obligation to fulfill all preservation and maintenance covenants in the Loan Documents.
Section 7.4 Ground Rent Reserve Funds.
7.4.1 Deposits of Ground Rent Reserve Funds. From and after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Sweep Event, Borrower shall deposit with or on behalf of Lender, on each Monthly Payment Date, an amount equal to the Ground Rent that will be payable under the Ground Lease for the month in which such Monthly Payment Date occurs, which amounts shall be transferred into an Account established with Servicer to hold such funds (the “Ground Rent Account”). Such deposit may be increased from time to time by Lender in such amount as Lender shall deem to be necessary in its reasonable discretion to reflect any increases in the Ground Rent. Amounts deposited from time to time into the Ground Rent
84
Account pursuant to this Section 6.8.1 are referred to herein as the “Ground Rent Reserve Funds”.
7.4.2 Release of Ground Rent Reserve Funds. Provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender shall apply the Ground Rent Reserve Funds to payments of Ground Rent. In making any payment relating to Ground Rent, Lender may do so according to any xxxx or statement given by or on behalf of Ground Lessor without inquiry into the accuracy of such xxxx or statement or into the validity of any rent, additional rent or other charge thereof. If the amount of the Ground Rent Reserve Funds shall exceed the amounts due for Ground Rent, Lender shall, in its sole discretion, either (a) return any excess to Borrower or (b) credit such excess against future payments to be made to the Ground Rent Reserve Funds. Any Ground Rent Reserve Funds remaining after the Obligations have been paid in full shall be returned to Borrower.
Section 7.5 Debt Service Reserve.
7.5.1 Debt Service Reserve Funds. Borrower shall deposit with Lender on the Closing Date the sum of $79,950.00 (the “Debt Service Reserve”). Amounts so deposited shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Debt Service Reserve Funds” and the account in which such amounts are held shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Debt Service Reserve Account.” The Debt Service Reserve will be available for use by Borrower in the event that Net Cash Flow from the Property for any month shall be less than Debt Service for such month. In lieu of making any required deposits to the Debt Service Reserve Account, Borrower may deliver to Lender a Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the amount that is required to be deposited into the Debt Service Reserve Account. All earnings or interest on the Debt Service Reserve Fund shall be and become part of such Debt Service Reserve Fund and shall be disbursed as provided in this Section 7.5.
In the event Net Cash Flow equals or exceeds $8,000,000.00 for the preceding twelve (12) consecutive month period, the Debt Service Reserve Funds will be released to Borrower following Borrower’s written request therefor.
7.5.2 Disbursements from Debt Service Reserve Account. Provided no Release Default or Event of Default exists, Lender shall make disbursements from the Debt Service Reserve Account as requested by Borrower to the extent such funds are available, no more frequently than once in any thirty (30) day period in the event that Net Cash Flow is less than Debt Service for such month.
7.5.3 Balance in the Debt Service Account. The insufficiency of any balance in the Debt Service Reserve Account shall not relieve Borrower from its obligation to pay the Monthly Interest Payment when due hereunder.
Section 7.6 Reserve Funds, Generally.
(a) Borrower grants to Lender a first-priority perfected security interest in all of the Reserve Funds and any and all monies now or hereafter deposited in each Reserve Fund as additional security for the Obligations. Until expended or applied in accordance herewith, the Reserve Funds shall constitute additional security for payment of the Obligations. Upon the
85
occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender may, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies available to Lender, apply any sums then present in any or all of the Reserve Funds to the reduction of the Outstanding Principal Balance 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.
(b) Borrower shall not, without obtaining the prior consent of Lender, further pledge, assign or grant any security interest in any Reserve Fund or the monies deposited therein or permit any lien or encumbrance to attach thereto, or any levy to be made thereon, or any UCC-1 Financing Statements, except those naming Lender as the secured party, to be filed with respect thereto.
(c) The Reserve Funds shall be held in an Eligible Account and shall bear interest at a money market rate selected by Lender. All interest or other earnings on a Reserve Fund shall be added to and become a part of such Reserve Fund and shall be disbursed in the same manner as other monies deposited in such Reserve Fund. Borrower shall have the right to direct Lender to invest sums on deposit in the Eligible Account in Permitted Investments provided (a) such investments are then regularly offered by Lender for accounts of this size, category and type, (b) such investments are permitted by applicable federal, state and local rules, regulations and laws, (c) the maturity date of the Permitted Investment is not later than the date on which the applicable Reserve Funds are required for payment of an obligation for which such Reserve Fund was created, and (d) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. Borrower shall be responsible for payment of any federal, state or local income or other tax applicable to the interest or income earned on the Reserve Funds. No other investments of the sums on deposit in the Reserve Funds shall be permitted except as set forth in this Section 7.5. Borrower shall bear all reasonable costs associated with the investment of the sums in the account in Permitted Investments. Such costs shall be deducted from the income or earnings on such investment, if any, and to the extent such income or earnings shall not be sufficient to pay such costs, such costs shall be paid by Borrower promptly on demand by Lender. Lender shall have no liability for the rate of return earned or losses incurred on the investment of the sums in Permitted Investments.
(d) Borrower shall indemnify Lender and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all actions, suits, claims, demands, liabilities, losses, damages, obligations and costs and expenses (including litigation costs and reasonable attorneys fees and expenses) arising from or in any way connected with the Reserve Funds or the performance of the obligations for which the Reserve Funds were established. Borrower shall assign to Lender all rights and claims Borrower may have against all Persons supplying labor, materials or other services which are to be paid from or secured by the Reserve Funds; provided, however, that Lender may not pursue any such right or claim unless an Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured.
(e) After payment in full of all sums evidenced by the Note and secured by the Mortgage and release or assignment by Lender of the lien of the Mortgage, Lender shall disburse to Borrower all amounts remaining in the Reserves.

89
Section 8.2 Remedies.
(a) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, all or any one or more of the rights, powers, privileges and other remedies available to Lender against Borrower under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents executed and delivered by, or applicable to, Borrower or at law or in equity may be exercised by Lender at any time and from time to time, whether or not all or any of the Debt shall be declared due and payable, and whether or not Lender shall have commenced any foreclosure proceeding or other action for the enforcement of its rights and remedies under any of the Loan Documents. Any such actions taken by Lender shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singularly, successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in its sole discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender permitted by law, equity or contract or as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower agrees that if an Event of Default is continuing (i) Lender shall not be 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 Obligations have been paid in full.
(b) Lender shall have the right from time to time to sever the Note and the other Loan Documents into one or more separate notes, mortgages and other security documents (the “Severed Loan Documents”) in such denominations as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion for purposes of evidencing and enforcing its rights and remedies provided hereunder. Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender from time to time, promptly after the request of Lender, a severance agreement and such other documents as Lender shall request in order to effect the severance described in the preceding sentence, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender. Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints Lender as its true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in its name and stead to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect the aforesaid severance, Borrower ratifying all that its said attorney shall do by virtue thereof; provided, however, Lender shall not make or execute any such documents under such power until three (3) days after notice has been given to Borrower by Lender of Lender’s intent to exercise its rights under such power. 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. Further, the Severed Loan Documents shall not contain any representations, warranties or covenants not contained in the Loan Documents and any such representations and warranties contained in the Severed Loan Documents will be given by Borrower only as of the Closing Date.
(c) 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 by Lender in its sole discretion, including 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 and/or 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, Lender may foreclose the Mortgage to recover so much of the Debt as Lender may accelerate and such other sums secured by the Mortgage as Lender may
90
elect. Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, the Property shall remain subject to the Mortgage to secure payment of sums secured by the Mortgage and not previously recovered.
(d) Any amounts recovered from the Property or any other collateral for the Loan after 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) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing or otherwise impairing or 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, Borrower agrees that if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing Lender shall have the right to immediately draw down in full upon any Letter of Credit delivered by, or on behalf of Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and apply the proceeds of such draw towards 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.
(f) Remedies Cumulative; Waivers. The rights, powers and remedies of Lender under this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which Lender may have against Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or existing at law or in equity or otherwise. Lender’s rights, powers and remedies may be pursued singularly, concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in Lender’s sole discretion. No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of Default shall impair any such remedy, right or power or shall be construed as a waiver thereof, but any such remedy, right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. A waiver of one Default or Event of Default with respect to Borrower shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default by Borrower or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon.
ARTICLE 9
SPECIAL PROVISIONS
Section 9.1 Sale of Note and Securitization. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that Lender may sell all or any portion of the Loan and the Loan Documents, or issue one or more participations therein, or consummate one or more private or public securitizations of rated single- or multi-class securities (the “Securities”) secured by or evidencing ownership interests in all or any portion of the Loan and the Loan Documents or a pool of assets that include the Loan and the Loan Documents (such sales, participations and/or securitizations, collectively, a “Securitization”). At the request of Lender, and to the extent not already required to be provided by Borrower under this Agreement, Borrower shall use reasonable efforts to provide information not in the possession of Lender or which may be reasonably required by Lender in order to satisfy the market standards to which Lender customarily adheres or which may be reasonably required by prospective investors and/or the Rating Agencies in connection with any such Securitization including, without limitation, to:
(a) provide additional and/or updated Provided Information, together with appropriate verification and/or consents related to the Provided Information through letters of auditors or opinions of counsel of independent attorneys reasonably acceptable to Lender and the Rating Agencies;
91
(b) assist in preparing descriptive materials for presentations to any or all of the Rating Agencies, and work with, and if requested, supervise, third-party service providers engaged by Borrower, Principal and their respective affiliates to obtain, collect, and deliver information requested or required by Lender or the Rating Agencies;
(c) if required by the Rating Agencies, deliver (i) updated opinions of counsel as to non-consolidation, due execution and enforceability with respect to the Property, Borrower, Principal and their respective Affiliates and the Loan Documents, and (ii) revised organizational documents for Borrower, which counsel opinions and organizational documents shall be reasonably satisfactory to Lender and the Rating Agencies;
(d) if required by any Rating Agency, use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver such additional tenant estoppel letters, subordination agreements or other agreements from parties to agreements that affect the Property, which estoppel letters, subordination agreements or other agreements shall be reasonably satisfactory to Lender and the Rating Agencies;
(e) make such representations and warranties as of the closing date of the Securitization with respect to the Property, Borrower, Principal and the Loan Documents as may be reasonably requested by Lender or the Rating Agencies and consistent with the facts covered by such representations and warranties as they exist on the date thereof, including the representations and warranties made in the Loan Documents;
(f) execute such non-material amendments to the Loan Documents as may be requested by Lender or the Rating Agencies to effect the Securitization;
(g) if requested by Lender, review any information regarding the Property, Borrower, Principal, the Manager and the Loan which is contained in a preliminary or final private placement memorandum, prospectus, prospectus supplement (including any amendment or supplement to either thereof), or other disclosure document to be used by Lender or any affiliate thereof; and
(h) supply to Lender such documentation, financial statements and reports concerning Borrower, Principal, Guarantor, the Loan and/or the Property in form and substance required in order to comply with any applicable securities laws.
All reasonable third party costs and expenses incurred by Borrower or Lender in connection with Borrower’s complying with requests made under this Section 9.1 (including, without limitation, the fees and expenses of the Rating Agencies) shall be paid by Lender.
92
Section 9.2 Securitization Indemnification.
(a) Borrower understands that certain of the Provided Information may be included in Disclosure Documents in connection with the Securitization and may also be included in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or provided or made available to investors or prospective investors in the Securities, the Rating Agencies, and service providers relating to the Securitization. In the event that the Disclosure Document is required to be revised prior to the sale of all Securities, Borrower will cooperate with the holder of the Note in updating the Disclosure Document by providing all current information necessary to keep the Disclosure Document accurate and complete in all material respects.
(b) The Indemnifying Persons agree to provide, in connection with the Securitization, an indemnification agreement (i) certifying that (A) the Indemnifying Persons have carefully examined the Disclosure Documents, including, without limitation, the sections entitled “Risk Factors,” “Special Considerations,” “Description of the Mortgages,” “Description of the Mortgage Loans and Mortgaged Property,” “The Manager,” “The Borrower” and “Certain Legal Aspects of the Mortgage Loan,” and (B) such sections and such other information in the Disclosure Documents (to the extent such information relates to or includes any Provided Information or any information regarding the Property, Borrower, Manager and/or the Loan) (collectively with the Provided Information, the “Covered Disclosure Information”) do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, (ii) jointly and severally indemnifying Lender, CSFB (whether or not it is Lender), any Affiliate of CSFB that has filed any registration statement relating to the Securitization or has acted as the sponsor or depositor in connection with the Securitization, any Affiliate of CSFB that acts as an underwriter, placement agent or initial purchaser of Securities issued in the Securitization, any other co-underwriters, co-placement agents or co-initial purchasers of Securities issued in the Securitization, and each of their respective officers, directors, partners, employees, representatives, agents and Affiliates and each Person or entity who controls any such Person within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively, the “Indemnified Persons”), for any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs or expenses (including without limitation legal fees and expenses for enforcement of these obligations (collectively, the “Liabilities”)) to which any such Indemnified Person may become subject insofar as the Liabilities arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Covered Disclosure Information or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state in the Covered Disclosure Information a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements in the Covered Disclosure Information, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and (iii) agreeing to reimburse each Indemnified Person for any legal or other expenses incurred by such Indemnified Person, as they are incurred, in connection with investigating or defending the Liabilities. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which Borrower may otherwise have. Moreover, the indemnification provided for in clauses (ii) and (iii) above shall be effective whether or not an indemnification agreement described in clause (i) above is provided.
93
(c) In connection with filings under the Exchange Act, 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 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 any 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 any Indemnifying Person.
(e) Without the prior consent of CSFB (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), 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
94
actual or potential party to such claim, action, suit or proceeding) unless the Indemnifying Person shall have given CSFB 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 proceeding. 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).
(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: (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 (by underwriting discount or otherwise) actually received by the Indemnified Persons in connection with the closing of the Loan or the 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 rights, 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 Obligations.
(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.

The provisions of this Section shall not, however, (a) constitute a waiver, release or impairment of any obligation evidenced or secured by any of the Loan Documents; (b) impair the right of Lender to name Borrower as a party defendant in any action or suit for foreclosure and sale under the Mortgage or the Second Mortgage; (c) affect the validity or enforceability of any guaranty or indemnity, including without limitation, the Guaranty, the Borrower Guaranty and/or the Environmental Indemnity, made in connection with the Loan or any of the rights and remedies of Lender thereunder; (d) impair the right of Lender to obtain the appointment of a receiver; (e) impair the enforcement of the Assignment of Leases; (f) constitute a prohibition against Lender to seek a deficiency judgment against Borrower in order to fully realize the security granted by the Mortgage and/or the other Loan Documents or to commence any other appropriate action or proceeding in order for Lender to exercise its remedies against the Property; or (g) constitute a waiver of the right of Lender to enforce the liability and obligation of Borrower, by money judgment or otherwise, to the extent of any actual loss, damage, cost, expense, liability, claim or other obligation incurred by Lender (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs reasonably incurred) arising out of or in connection with the following:
(i) | fraud or intentional misrepresentation by any Significant Party in connection with the Loan, including by reason of any claim under RICO; |

(iv) | the intentional removal or destruction of any portion of the Property by Borrower or any party acting on behalf of Borrower after an Event of Default; |
(v) | any Legal Requirement (including RICO) mandating the forfeiture by Borrower of the Property, or any portion thereof, because of the conduct or purported conduct of criminal activity by Borrower or any Significant Party in connection therewith; |

(vii) | failure to pay, when funds are available from the Property or Reserves, charges for labor or materials or other charges which become Liens on of the Property which were prior to the Lien of the Mortgage; |
(viii) | any security deposits, advance deposits or any other deposits collected with respect to the Property which are not delivered to Lender upon a foreclosure of the Property or action in lieu thereof, except to the extent any such security deposits were applied in accordance with the terms and conditions of any of the Leases prior to the occurrence of the Event of Default that gave rise to such foreclosure or action in lieu thereof; and |
(ix) | failure of Borrower to direct the payment of or, pay any, Rents or other Receipts to the Property Account as required by the Loan Documents; and |
(x) | the failure of Borrower to apply monies disbursed to it from the Cash Management Account (or any sub-account thereof) for the purpose which such disbursement is made. |
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Note or any of the Loan Documents, (A) Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any right which Lender may have under Section 506(a), 506(b), 1111(b) or any other provisions of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code to file a claim for the full amount of the Debt secured by the Mortgage or to require that all collateral shall continue to secure all of the Obligations in accordance with the Loan Documents, and (B) the Debt shall be fully recourse to Borrower (i) in the event of: (a) Borrower filing a voluntary petition under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law; (b) Borrower, or any Person acting on behalf of Borrower, soliciting or causing to be solicited petitioning creditors for any involuntary petition against Borrower from any Person; (c) Borrower filing an answer consenting to or otherwise acquiescing in or joining in any involuntary petition filed against it, by any other Person under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law, or soliciting or causing to be solicited petitioning creditors for any involuntary petition from any Person; (d) Borrower consenting to or acquiescing in or joining in an application for the appointment of a custodian, receiver, trustee, or examiner for Borrower or any portion of the Property; (e) Borrower making an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or admitting, in writing or in any legal proceeding, its insolvency or inability to pay its debts as they become due; (ii) if Borrower fails to maintain its status as a Single Purpose Entity; (iii) if Borrower fails to obtain Lender’s prior consent to any Indebtedness or voluntary Lien encumbering the Property as required by this Agreement or the Mortgage; (iv) if any Restricted Party fails to obtain Lender’s prior consent to any Transfer as required by this
97
Agreement or the Mortgage; or (v) an act or omission of Borrower, Principal, Guarantor or any Affiliate of Borrower, Principal, or Guarantor which hinders, delays or interferes with Lender’s enforcement of its rights hereunder or the realization of the Collateral, including the assertion by Borrower, Principal, Guarantor or such Affiliate of defenses or counterclaims.
Further, if any Significant Party fails to provide financial information in accordance with Section 5.1.11 hereof within a reasonable time following request by Lender therefor, Borrower shall pay an amount equal to $10,000 in order to defray the expense incurred by Lender as a result of such delay and to compensate Lender for any losses suffered as a result of such delay.
Section 9.5 Matters Concerning Manager. If (a) the Manager shall become bankrupt or insolvent or (b) a material default occurs under the Management Agreement beyond any applicable grace and cure periods, Borrower shall, at the request of Lender, terminate the Management Agreement and replace the Manager with a Qualified Manager pursuant to a Replacement Management Agreement, it being understood and agreed that the management fee for such replacement manager shall not exceed then prevailing market rates.
Section 9.6 Servicer. At the option of Lender, the Loan may be serviced by a servicer/trustee (the “Servicer”) selected by Lender and Lender may delegate all or any portion of its responsibilities under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to the Servicer pursuant to a servicing agreement (the “Servicing Agreement”) between Lender and Servicer. Borrower shall not be responsible for any set-up fees or any other costs relating to or arising under the Servicing Agreement; including the monthly servicing fee due to the Servicer under the Servicing Agreement.
Section 9.7 Severance of Loan Documents. Lender shall have the right, at any time (whether prior to or after any sale or participation of all or any portion of the Loan), to modify the Loan in order to create one or more senior and subordinate notes (i.e., an A/B or A/B/C structure) and/or one or more additional components of the Note or Notes, reduce the number of components of the Note or Notes, revise the interest rate for each component, reallocate the principal balances of the Notes and/or the components, increase or decrease the monthly debt service payments for each component or eliminate the component structure and/or the multiple note structure of the Loan (including the elimination of the related allocations of principal and interest payments), provided that the Outstanding Principal Balance of all components immediately after the effective date of such modification equals the Outstanding Principal Balance immediately prior to such modification and the weighted average of the interest rates for all components immediately after the effective date of such modification equals the interest rate of the original Note immediately prior to such modification and modify the Cash Management Agreement with respect to the newly created components such that the pricing and marketability of the Securities and the size of each class of Securities and the rating assigned to each such class by the Rating Agencies shall provide the most favorable rating levels and achieve the optimum rating levels for the Loan. Lender shall have the right to modify the Note and/or Notes and any components in accordance with this Section 9.7 and, provided that such modification shall comply with the terms of this Section 9.7, it shall become immediately effective. If requested by Lender, Borrower shall promptly execute an amendment to the Loan Documents to evidence any such modification. In the event Borrower fails to deliver said amendment to Lender within fifteen (15) Business Days after request, Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints
98
Lender as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact (with full power of substitution), coupled with an interest, in its name and stead to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect the aforesaid severance, Borrower ratifying all that its said attorney shall do by virtue thereof; provided, that, Lender shall not make or execute any such documents under such power until three (3) Business Days after notice has been given to Borrower by Lender of Lender’s intent to exercise its rights under such power. Lender shall be obligated to pay any reasonable costs or expenses incurred by Lender or Borrower in connection with the preparation, execution, recording or filing of the Severed Loan Documents. Except as may be required in connection with a securitization, the Severed Loan Documents shall not contain any representations, warranties or covenants not contained in the Loan Documents.
9.8 Mezzanine Loan Option. Lender shall have the right, on or before the date which is one (1) year following the Closing Date, to divide the Loan into two parts (the “Mezzanine Option”): a mortgage loan (the “Mortgage Loan”) and a mezzanine loan (the “Mezzanine Loan”). In such event, Borrower agrees to cause the formation of the Mezzanine Borrower. The principal amount of the Mortgage Loan plus the principal amount of the Mezzanine Loan shall equal the outstanding principal balance of the Loan immediately prior to the creation of the Mortgage Loan and the Mezzanine Loan. In effectuating the foregoing, Mezzanine Lender will make a loan to Mezzanine Borrower; Mezzanine Borrower will contribute the amount of the Mezzanine Loan to Borrower (in its capacity as Borrower under the Mortgage Loan, “Mortgage Borrower”) and Mortgage Borrower will apply the contribution to pay down the Loan to its Mortgage Loan amount. The Mortgage Loan and the Mezzanine Loan will be on the same terms and subject to the same conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Note, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents except as follows:
(a) Lender (in its capacity as the lender under the Mortgage Loan, the “Mortgage Lender”) shall have the right to establish different interest rates and debt service payments for the Mortgage Loan and the Mezzanine Loan and to require the payment of the Mortgage Loan and the Mezzanine Loan in such order of priority as may be designated by Lender; provided, that (i) the total loan amounts for the Mortgage Loan and the Mezzanine Loan shall equal the amount of the Loan immediately prior to the creation of the Mortgage Loan and the Mezzanine Loan, (ii) the weighted average interest rate of the Mortgage Loan and the Mezzanine Loan shall on the date created equal the interest rate which was applicable to the Loan immediately prior to creation of a Mortgage Loan and a Mezzanine Loan and (iii) prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, the debt service payments on the Mortgage Loan note and the Mezzanine Loan note shall equal the debt service payment which are due under the Loan as if no Mezzanine Loan had been created.
(b) Mezzanine Borrower shall be a special purpose, bankruptcy remote entity pursuant to applicable Rating Agency criteria and shall own directly or indirectly one hundred percent (100%) of Mortgage Borrower. The security for the Mezzanine Loan shall be a pledge of one hundred percent (100%) of the direct and indirect ownership interests in Mortgage Borrower.
(c) Mezzanine Borrower and Mortgage Borrower shall cooperate with all reasonable requests of Lender in order to convert the Loan into a Mortgage Loan and a Mezzanine Loan and shall execute and deliver such documents as shall reasonably be required by Lender and any
99
Rating Agency in connection therewith, including, without limitation, the delivery of non-consolidation opinions and the modification of organizational documents and loan documents. In the event Mortgage Borrower and/or Mezzanine Borrower fail to execute and deliver such documents to Lender within five (5) Business Days following such request by Lender, Mortgage Borrower and/or Mezzanine Borrower, as applicable, hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoint Lender as their true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in their name and xxxxx to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect such transactions, Mortgage Borrower and/or Mezzanine Borrower, as applicable, ratifying all that such attorney shall do by virtue thereof. Lender shall pay all costs and expenses in connection with the creation of the Mortgage Loan and the Mezzanine Loan and all requirements relating thereto, including, without limitation, the cost of any UCC lien insurance policy.
(d) It shall be an Event of Default under this Agreement, the Note, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents if Borrower or Mezzanine Borrower fails to comply with any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Section 9.8 after expiration of ten (10) Business Days after notice thereof.

Section 10.13 Expenses; Indemnity.

Any cost and expenses due and payable to Lender may be paid, at Lender’s option, from any amounts in the Property Account.
105
(b) Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Lender from and against any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for Lender in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding commenced or threatened, whether or not Lender shall be designated a party thereto), that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against Lender in any manner relating to or arising out of (i) any breach by Borrower of its obligations under, or any material misrepresentation by Borrower contained in, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or (ii) the use or intended use of the proceeds of the Loan (collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided, however, that Borrower shall not have any obligation to Lender hereunder to the extent that such Indemnified Liabilities arise from the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct of Lender. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, defend and hold harmless set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it violates any law or public policy, Borrower shall pay the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by Lender.

(b) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 2.2.3, the Loan shall be a LIBOR Loan and Borrower shall pay interest on the Outstanding Principal Balance at LIBOR plus the Spread for the applicable Interest Period. Any change in the rate of interest hereunder due to a change in the Applicable Interest Rate shall become effective as of the opening of business on the first day on which such change in the Applicable Interest Rate shall become effective. Each determination by Lender of the Applicable Interest Rate shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
(c) In the event that Lender shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower absent manifest error) that by reason of circumstances affecting the interbank Eurodollar market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR, then Lender shall forthwith give notice by telephone of such determination, confirmed in writing, to Borrower at least one (1) day prior to the last day of the related Interest Period. If such notice is given, the related outstanding LIBOR Loan shall be converted, on the last day of the then current Interest Period, to a Prime Rate Loan.
(d) If, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, any portion of the Loan has been converted to a Prime Rate Loan and Lender shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower absent manifest error) that the event(s) or circumstance(s) which resulted in such conversion shall no longer be applicable, Lender shall give notice by telephone of such determination, confirmed in writing, to Borrower at least one (1) day prior to the last day of the related Interest Period. If such notice is given, the related outstanding Prime Rate Loan shall be converted to a LIBOR Loan on the last day of the then current Interest Period.

If any Foreign Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to Lender hereunder, the amounts so payable to Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to Lender (after payment of all Foreign Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rate or in the amounts specified hereunder. Whenever any Foreign Tax is payable pursuant to applicable law by Borrower, as promptly as possible thereafter, Borrower shall send to Lender an original official receipt, if available, or certified copy thereof showing payment of such Foreign Tax. Borrower hereby indemnifies Lender for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by Lender which may result from any failure by Borrower to pay any such Foreign Tax when due to the appropriate taxing authority or any failure by Borrower to remit to Lender the required receipts or other required documentary evidence.
26
(f) If any requirement of law or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof, shall hereafter make it unlawful for Lender to make or maintain a LIBOR Loan as contemplated hereunder (i) the obligation of Lender hereunder to make a LIBOR Loan or to convert a Prime Rate Loan to a LIBOR Loan shall be canceled forthwith, and (ii) any outstanding LIBOR Loan shall be converted automatically to a Prime Rate Loan on the next succeeding Payment Date or within such earlier period as required by law. Borrower hereby agrees promptly to pay Lender, upon demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate Lender for any costs incurred by Lender in making any conversion in accordance with this Agreement, including, without limitation, any interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to make or maintain the LIBOR Loan hereunder. Lender’s notice of such costs, as certified to Borrower, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(g) In the event that any change in any requirement of law or in the interpretation or application thereof, or compliance by Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) hereafter issued from any central bank or other Governmental Authority:
(i) | shall hereafter impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of Lender which is not otherwise included in the determination of LIBOR hereunder; |
(ii) | shall hereafter have the effect of reducing the rate of return on Lender’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which Lender could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration Lender’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by any amount deemed by Lender to be material; or |
(iii) | shall hereafter impose on Lender any other condition and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Lender of making, renewing or maintaining loans or extensions of credit or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder; |
then, in any such case, Borrower shall promptly pay Lender, upon demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate Lender for such additional cost or reduced amount receivable which Lender deems to be material as determined by Lender. If Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.2.3(g), Lender shall provide Borrower with not less than ninety (90) days notice specifying in reasonable detail the event by reason of which it has become so entitled and the additional amount required to fully compensate Lender for such additional cost or reduced amount. A certificate as to any additional costs or amounts payable pursuant to the foregoing sentence submitted by Lender to Borrower shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. This provision shall survive payment of the Note and the satisfaction of all other obligations of Borrower under this Agreement and the Loan Documents.
27
(h) Borrower agrees to indemnify Lender and to hold Lender harmless from any loss or expense which Lender sustains or incurs as a consequence of (i) any default by Borrower resulting in a loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain a LIBOR Loan hereunder, (ii) any prepayment (whether voluntary or mandatory) of the LIBOR Loan on a day that is not a Payment Date unless Borrower did not give the prior notice of such prepayment required pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, such loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain the LIBOR Loan hereunder, and (iii) the conversion (if such conversion is caused by any act or omission of Borrower) of the Applicable Interest Rate from LIBOR plus the Spread to the Prime Rate plus the Prime Rate Spread with respect to any portion of the Outstanding Principal Balance then bearing interest at LIBOR plus the Spread on a date other than the Payment Date immediately following the last day of an Interest Period, including, without limitation, such loss or expenses arising from interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain a LIBOR Loan hereunder (the amounts referred to in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) are herein referred to collectively as the “Breakage Costs”); provided, however, Borrower shall not indemnify Lender from any loss or expense arising from Lender’s willful misconduct or gross negligence. This provision shall survive payment of the Note in full and the satisfaction of all other obligations of Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
(i) Lender shall not be entitled to claim compensation pursuant to this Section 2.2.3 for any Foreign Taxes, increased cost or reduction in amounts received or receivable hereunder, or any reduced rate of return, which was incurred or which accrued more than ninety (90) days before the date Lender notified Borrower of the change in law or other circumstance on which such claim of compensation is based and delivered to Borrower a written statement setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for calculating the additional amounts owed to Lender under this Section 2.2.3, which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error.
2.2.4 Additional Costs. Lender will use reasonable efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions) to maintain the availability of the LIBOR Loan and to avoid or reduce any increased or additional costs payable by Borrower under Section 2.2.3, including, if requested by Borrower, a transfer or assignment of the Loan to a branch, office or Affiliate of Lender in another jurisdiction, or a redesignation of its lending office with respect to the Loan, in order to maintain the availability of the LIBOR Loan or to avoid or reduce such increased or additional costs, provided that the transfer or assignment or redesignation (a) would not result in any additional costs, expenses or risk to Lender that are not reimbursed by Borrower and (b) would not be disadvantageous in any other respect to Lender as determined by Lender in its sole discretion.
2.2.5 Default Rate. In the event that, and for so long as, any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Outstanding Principal Balance and, to the extent permitted by law, all accrued and unpaid interest in respect of the Loan and any other amounts due pursuant to the Loan Documents, shall accrue interest at the Default Rate, calculated from the date such payment was due without regard to any grace or cure periods contained herein.
28
2.2.6 Usury Savings. This Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents are subject to the express condition that at no time shall Borrower be obligated or required to pay interest on the principal balance of the Loan at a rate which could subject Lender to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate. If, by the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the principal balance due hereunder at a rate in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate, the 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 of interest from time to time in effect and applicable to the Loan for so long as the Loan is outstanding.

The Interest Rate Cap Agreement (i) shall be in a form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender, (ii) shall be with an Acceptable Counterparty, (iii) shall direct such Acceptable Counterparty to deposit directly into the Property Account any amounts due Borrower under such Interest Rate Cap Agreement so long as any portion of the Debt exists, provided, that, the Debt shall be deemed to exist if the Property is transferred by judicial or non-judicial foreclosure or deed-in-lieu thereof, (iv) shall be for a period equal to the term of the Loan, and (v) shall have an initial notional amount equal to the principal balance of the Loan. Borrower shall collaterally assign to Lender, pursuant to the Collateral Assignment of Interest Rate Cap Agreement, all of its right, title and interest to receive any and all payments under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, and shall deliver to Lender an executed counterpart of such Interest Rate Cap Agreement (which shall, by its terms, authorize the assignment to Lender and require that payments be deposited directly into the Property Account).
(b) Borrower shall comply with all of its obligations under the terms and provisions of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement. All amounts paid by the Counterparty under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement to Borrower or Lender shall be deposited immediately into the Property Account.

(ii) | the execution and delivery of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement by the Counterparty, and any other agreement which the Counterparty has executed and delivered pursuant thereto, and the performance of its obligations thereunder have been and remain duly authorized by all necessary action and do not contravene any provision of its certificate of incorporation or by-laws (or equivalent organizational documents) or any law, regulation or contractual restriction binding on or affecting it or its property; |
(iii) | all consents, authorizations and approvals required for the execution and delivery by the Counterparty of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, and any other agreement which the Counterparty has executed and delivered pursuant thereto, and the performance of its obligations thereunder have been obtained and remain in full force and effect, all conditions thereof have been duly complied with, and no other action by, and no notice to or filing with any Governmental Authority or regulatory body is required for such execution, delivery or performance; and |

(d) All funds on deposit in the Cash Management Account following the occurrence of an Event of Default may be applied by Lender in such order and priority as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion.
2.6.4 Payments Received Under the Cash Management Agreement.

2.6.5 Application After Event of Default. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.6, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender, at its option, may withdraw the Reserve Funds and any other funds of Borrower then in the possession of Lender, Servicer or Property Account Bank and apply such funds to the items for which the Reserve Funds were established or to the payment of the Obligations and the Other Borrower Obligations in such order, proportion and priority as Lender may determine in its sole discretion.

Borrower has no material financial obligation under any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement or other agreement or instrument to which Borrower is a party or by which Borrower or the Property is otherwise bound, other than (a) any obligations incurred in the ordinary course of the operation of the Property as permitted pursuant to clause (s) of the definition of “Special Purpose Entity” set forth in Section 1.1 hereof, (b) the obligations under the Loan Documents.
4.1.6 Title. (a) Borrower has good, marketable and insurable fee title to 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. The Permitted Encumbrances in the aggregate do not materially and adversely affect the value, operation or use of the Property (as currently used) or Borrower’s ability to repay the Loan. The Mortgage and the Assignment of Leases, when 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 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), 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. There are no claims for payment for work, labor or materials affecting the Property which are or may become a Lien prior to, or of equal priority with, the Liens created by the Loan Documents.
(b) The Second Mortgage, when properly recorded in the appropriate public records, together with any Uniform Commercial Code financing statements required to be filed in connection therewith, will create (i) a valid, perfected second priority Lien on the Property, subject only to Permitted Encumbrances and the Lien of the Mortgage and (ii) perfected security interests in and to, and perfected collateral assignments of, all Personal Property (including the Leases), all in accordance with the terms thereof, in each case subject only to the Mortgage and any applicable Permitted Encumbrances to the extent that perfection occurs through the recording of a Mortgage or the filing of a financing statement.
4.1.7 Solvency. Borrower has (a) not entered into the transaction contemplated by this Agreement or executed the Note, this Agreement or any other Loan Documents with the actual intent to hinder, delay or defraud any creditor and (b) received reasonably equivalent value in exchange for its obligations under such Loan Documents. After giving effect to the Loan, the fair saleable value of Borrower’s assets exceeds and will, immediately following the making of the Loan, exceed Borrower’s total liabilities, including, without limitation, subordinated, unliquidated, disputed and contingent liabilities. The fair saleable value of Borrower’s assets is and will, immediately following the making of the Loan, be greater than Borrower’s probable liabilities, including the maximum amount of its contingent liabilities on its debts as such debts become absolute and matured. Borrower’s assets do not and, immediately
45
following the making of the Loan will not, constitute unreasonably small capital to carry out its business as conducted or as proposed to be conducted. Borrower does not intend to, and does not believe that it will, incur debts and liabilities (including contingent liabilities and other commitments) beyond its ability to pay such debts and liabilities as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be received by Borrower and the amounts to be payable on or in respect of the obligations of Borrower). No petition in bankruptcy has been filed against Borrower or any of its constituent Persons, and neither Borrower nor any of its constituent Persons has ever made an assignment for the benefit of creditors or taken advantage of any insolvency act for the benefit of debtors. Neither Borrower nor any of its 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 assets or properties, and Borrower has no knowledge of any Person contemplating the filing of any such petition against it or any of its constituent Persons.
4.1.8 Full and Accurate Disclosure. No statement of fact made by Borrower in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make statements contained herein or therein not misleading. There is no material fact presently known to Borrower which has not been disclosed to Lender which adversely affects, nor as far as Borrower can foresee, might adversely affect, the Property or the business, operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of Borrower.
4.1.9 No Plan Assets. Borrower is not an “employee benefit plan,” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, subject to Title I of ERISA, and none of the assets of Borrower constitutes or will constitute “plan assets” of one or more such plans within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101. In addition, (a) Borrower is not a “governmental plan” within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA, and (b) transactions by or with Borrower are not subject to any state statute regulating investments of, or fiduciary obligations with respect to, governmental plans similar to the provisions of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code currently in effect, which prohibit or otherwise restrict the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
4.1.10 Compliance. Borrower and the Property (including the use thereof) comply in all material respects with all applicable Legal Requirements, including, without limitation, building and zoning ordinances and codes. Borrower is not in default or violation of any order, writ, injunction, decree or demand of any Governmental Authority. There has not been committed by Borrower, to Borrower’s knowledge, or any other Person in occupancy of or involved with the operation or use of the Property any act or omission affording any Governmental Authority the right of forfeiture as against the Property or any part thereof or any monies paid in performance of Borrower’s obligations under any of the Loan Documents.

Except for Permitted Encumbrances, Borrower does not have any contingent liabilities, liabilities for taxes, unusual
46
forward or long-term commitments or unrealized or anticipated losses from any unfavorable commitments that are known to Borrower and reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Property or the operation thereof as a hotel, except as referred to or reflected in said financial statements. Since the date of such financial statements, there has been no material adverse change in the financial condition, operation or business of Borrower from that set forth in said financial statements.

4.1.13 Federal Reserve Regulations. No part of the proceeds of the Loan will be used for the purpose of purchasing or acquiring any “margin stock” within the meaning of Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or for any other purpose which would be inconsistent with such Regulation U or any other Regulations of such Board of Governors, or for any purposes prohibited by any Legal Requirements or by the terms and conditions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.
4.1.14 Utilities and Public Access. The Property has rights of access to public ways and is served by water, sewer, sanitary sewer and storm drain facilities adequate to service the Property for its intended uses. All public utilities necessary or convenient to the full use and enjoyment of the Property are located either in the public right-of-way abutting the Property (which are connected so as to serve the Property without passing over other property) or in recorded easements serving the Property and such easements are set forth in and insured by the Title Insurance Policy. All roads necessary for the use of the Property for its current purpose have been completed and dedicated to public use and accepted by all Governmental Authorities.

4.1.18 Enforceability. The Loan Documents are not subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense by Borrower, Principal or Guarantor, including the defense of usury, nor would the operation of any of the terms of the Loan Documents, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render the Loan Documents unenforceable (subject to principles of equity and bankruptcy, insolvency and other laws generally affecting creditors’ rights and the enforcement of debtors’ obligations), and Borrower, Principal and Guarantor have not asserted any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense with respect thereto.
47

Other than as disclosed in the “Engineering Report,” there exists no structural or other material defects or damages in the Property, whether latent or otherwise, and Borrower has not received notice from any insurance company or bonding company of any defects or inadequacies in the Property, or any part thereof, which would adversely affect the insurability of the same or cause the imposition of extraordinary premiums or charges thereon or of any termination or threatened termination of any policy of insurance or bond.
4.1.25 Boundaries. All of the Improvements which were included in determining the appraised value of the Property lie wholly within the boundaries and building restriction lines of the Property, and no improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon the Property, and no easements or other encumbrances upon the Property encroach upon any of the Improvements, so as to affect the value or marketability of the Property except those which are insured against by the Title Insurance Policy.

BORROWER 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, Borrower hereby covenants and agrees with Lender that:
5.1.1 Existence; Compliance with Legal Requirements. Borrower 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 and the Property. There shall never be committed by Borrower, and Borrower shall not permit any other Person in occupancy of or involved with the 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. Borrower hereby covenants and agrees not to commit, permit or suffer to exist any act or omission affording such right of forfeiture. Borrower shall at all times reasonably maintain, preserve and protect all material franchises and material trade names, preserve all the remainder of its property used or useful in the conduct of its business, and shall keep the Property in reasonably 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 Mortgage. Borrower 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 notice to Lender, Borrower, 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 Borrower or the Property or any alleged violation of any Legal Requirement, provided, that: (a) no Release Default or Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured; (b) Borrower is permitted to do so under the provisions of any mortgage or deed of trust superior in lien to the Mortgage; (c) such proceeding shall be permitted under and be conducted in accordance with the provisions of any instrument to which Borrower is subject and shall not constitute a default thereunder and such proceeding shall be conducted in accordance with all applicable statutes, laws and ordinances; (d) neither the Property nor any part thereof or interest therein will be in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost; (e) Borrower shall, upon final determination thereof, promptly comply with any such Legal Requirement determined to be

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 imminent danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost.
5.1.2 Taxes and Other Charges. Borrower 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 obligation to directly pay Taxes shall be suspended for so long as adequate reserves for same are maintained pursuant to Section 7.2 hereof. Borrower shall furnish to Lender receipts for the payment of the Taxes and the Other Charges prior to the date the same shall become delinquent provided, however, Borrower is not required to furnish such receipts for payment of Taxes in the event that such Taxes have been paid by Lender pursuant to Section 7.2 hereof. Borrower shall not suffer and shall promptly cause to be paid and discharged any Lien or charge whatsoever which may be or become a Lien or charge against the Property and that is prohibited in accordance with Section 5.2.2 hereof, and shall pay for all utility services provided to the Property prior to delinquency. After prior notice to Lender, Borrower, 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, Other Charges or other Liens, provided, that: (a) no Release Default or Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured; (b) Borrower is permitted to contest same under the provisions of any mortgage or deed of trust superior in lien to the Mortgage; (c) such proceeding shall be permitted under and be conducted in accordance with the provisions of any other instrument to which Borrower is subject and shall not constitute a default thereunder and such proceeding shall be conducted in accordance with all applicable statutes, laws and ordinances; (d) neither the Property nor any part thereof or interest therein will be in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost; (e) Borrower 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; (f) such proceeding shall suspend the collection of such contested Taxes or Other Charges from the Property; and (g) Borrower 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. Lender may pay over any such other security or part thereof held by Lender to the claimant entitled thereto at any time when, in the judgment of Lender, the entitlement of such claimant is established or the Property (or any 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 or the Second Mortgage being primed by any related Lien.

5.2.12 Franchise Provisions.
(a) Lender acknowledges and agrees that, as of the Closing Date, (i) Borrower is indirectly owned in whole by Wyndham; (ii) the Property is operated as a “Wyndham” or “Summerfield Suites” hotel and is not subject to a franchise agreement or other agreement in connection with such operation other than the Management Agreement. Borrower shall obtain
67
the approval of Lender, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed by Lender, before entering into any franchise agreement (the “Franchise Agreement”) with any franchisor (the “Franchisor”) that provides for, or permits, the operation of the Property under such Franchisor’s brand or “flag”. Any Franchise Agreement must include, among other things, rights in the Franchisor’s reservation system and a term of not less than the remaining term of the Loan. Borrower shall deliver to Lender any such Franchise Agreement for Lender’s review and approval.
(b) If Borrower shall enter into any Franchise Agreement, Lender shall receive within thirty (30) days following the execution of such Franchise Agreement a comfort letter from the Franchisor, in which Franchisor shall agree (i) that Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cure any defaults under the Franchise Agreement, (ii) to give Lender written notice of, and a reasonable time to cure, any default of Borrower under the Franchise Agreement; (iii) not to assert against Lender any defaults which by their nature are personal to Borrower and are not curable by Lender; (iv) to allow Lender to change managers of the Property; (v) that, if Lender or its affiliate shall acquire title to the Property, Lender or its affiliate shall have an option to succeed to the interest of Borrower under the Franchise Agreement (or to be granted a new Franchise Agreement on the same terms as the Franchise Agreement) without payment of any fees to Franchisor (other than nominal, processing fees); (vi) that the Franchise Agreement will remain in effect during any foreclosure proceedings by Lender provided Lender cures all monetary defaults under the Franchise Agreement; (vii) not to modify, cancel, surrender or otherwise terminate the Franchise Agreement during the Term without the consent of Lender; and (viii) that if Lender or its Affiliate succeeds to Borrower’s interest under the Franchise Agreement, Lender may assign its rights therein to any entity which acquires the Property from Lender or its Affiliate (subject to Franchisor’s reasonable approval). The foregoing to the contrary notwithstanding, Lender will not unreasonably withhold approval of Franchisor’s standard form of “comfort letter”.
(c) Borrower shall not, and Borrower shall not permit any Affiliate to, modify, cancel, surrender or otherwise terminate the Franchise Agreement during the Term without the consent of Lender, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided that, in connection with a cancellation, surrender or termination, such Franchise Agreement shall be replaced with a substitute franchise agreement reasonably approved by Lender or such other arrangement for the operation of the Property, reasonably approved by Lender. Borrower shall promptly deliver to Lender copies of any notices of default sent or received by or on behalf of Borrower or any of its Affiliates under the Franchise Agreement.
(d) Borrower shall at all times that the Debt is outstanding cause the hotel located on the Property to be operated as (i) a “Wyndham” or a “Summerfield Suites” hotel (or in the name of any successor entity), or (ii) a hotel franchise of a first class, reputable hotel franchise reasonably acceptable to Lender pursuant to a franchise agreement and management agreement reasonably acceptable to Lender.
(e) Borrower shall:
(i) | promptly perform and/or observe in all material respects all of the covenants and agreements required to be performed and observed |
68
by it under the Franchise Agreement and do all things necessary to preserve and to keep unimpaired its material rights thereunder; |

In addition, Borrower shall obtain: (x) if any portion of the Improvements is |
69
currently or at any time in the future located in a federally designated “special flood hazard area”, flood hazard insurance in an amount equal to the lesser of (1) the Outstanding Principal Balance or (2) 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 or such greater amount as Lender shall require; (y) earthquake insurance in amounts and in form and substance satisfactory to Lender in the event the Property is located in an area with a high degree of seismic activity and (z) coastal windstorm insurance in amounts and in form and substance satisfactory to Lender (and with deductibles of 3% of the insured value) in the event the Property is located in any coastal region, provided that the insurance pursuant to clauses (x), (y) and (z) hereof shall be on terms consistent with the comprehensive all risk insurance policy required under this subsection (i). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the insurance coverage required herein is maintained by Wyndham through a blanket policy of insurance and the deductible for such insurance coverage is greater than $100,000.00, Borrower may satisfy the deductible requirements herein by delivering to Lender a Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the difference between such deductible, as the same may be adjusted during the term of this Loan, as extended, and $100,000.00, and Lender shall, in the event of a casualty, apply such security from time to time if requested to do so by Borrower to pay for any Restoration or, if an Event of Default occurs, such Letter of Credit shall constitute additional collateral for the Loan and Lender may apply such sums as otherwise provided in this Agreement. |
(ii) | commercial general liability insurance, including a broad form comprehensive general liability endorsement and coverages 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 Two Million and No/100 Dollars ($2,000,000) in the aggregate and One Million and No/100 Dollars ($1,000,000) per occurrence (and, if on a blanket policy, containing an “Aggregate Per Location” endorsement); (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) blanket contractual liability for all legal contracts; and (5) contractual liability covering the indemnities contained in Article 8 of the Mortgage to the extent the same is available; |
70
(iii) | rental loss and/or business income interruption 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) 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 twelve (12) 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; and (D) in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the projected Gross Income from Operations for a period of eighteen (18) months from the date of such Casualty (assuming such Casualty had not occurred) and notwithstanding that the policy may expire at the end of such period. The amount of such business income insurance shall be determined prior to the date hereof and at least once each year thereafter based on Borrower’s reasonable estimate of the Gross Income from Operations for the succeeding eighteen (18) month period. Nothing set forth in this Agreement 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 the Note and the other Loan Documents except to the extent such amounts are actually paid out of the proceeds of such business income insurance; |
(iv) | 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 covering claims not covered by or under the terms or provisions of the above 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; |
(v) | if the Property includes commercial property, worker’s compensation insurance with respect to any employees of Borrower, as required by any Governmental Authority or Legal Requirement; |
(vi) | comprehensive boiler and machinery insurance, if applicable, in amounts as shall be reasonably required by Lender on terms |
71
consistent with the commercial property insurance policy required under subsection (i) above; |
(vii) | umbrella liability insurance in an amount not less than Twenty Million and No/100 Dollars ($20,000,000.00) per occurrence on terms consistent with the commercial general liability insurance policy required under subsection (ii) above; |
(viii) | motor vehicle liability coverage for all owned and non-owned vehicles, including rented and leased vehicles containing minimum limits per occurrence, including umbrella coverage, of One Million and No/100 Dollars ($1,000,000.00); |
(ix) | if the Property is or becomes a legal “non-conforming” use, ordinance or law coverage and insurance coverage to compensate for the cost of demolition or rebuilding of the undamaged portion of the Property along with any reduced value and the increased cost of construction in amounts as requested by Lender; |
(x) | at all times during the term of the Loan, the commercial property and business income insurance required under Sections 6.1(a)(i) and (iii) above shall cover perils of foreign terrorism and acts of foreign terrorism and Borrower shall maintain commercial property and business income insurance for loss resulting from perils and acts of foreign terrorism on terms (including amounts) reasonably acceptable to Lender for so long as such coverage is (A) commercially available and (B) provided that such insurance does not exceed $100,000.00 in the aggregate for the Property and the Other Properties. If the cost of such terrorism insurance exceeds $100,000.00 in the aggregate for the Property and the Other Properties, Borrower shall obtain the maximum amount of acceptable insurance possible for an amount equal to $100,000.00 in the aggregate for the Property and the Other Properties; and |
(xi) | upon sixty (60) days’ 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 properties 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) shall be obtained under valid and enforceable policies (collectively, the “Policies” or in the singular, the “Policy”), 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 authorized to do business in the State and having a claims paying ability rating of “A” or better. The Policies described in Section 6.1(a) (other than those strictly limited to liability
72
protection) shall designate Lender as loss payee. Not less than ten (10) days prior to the expiration dates of the Policies theretofore furnished to Lender, certificates of insurance evidencing the Policies accompanied by evidence satisfactory to Lender of payment of the premiums due thereunder (the “Insurance Premiums”), shall be delivered by Borrower to Lender.
(c) Any blanket insurance Policy shall specifically allocate to the Property the amount of coverage from time to time required hereunder and shall otherwise provide the same protection as would a separate Policy insuring only the Property in compliance with the provisions of Section 6.1(a).
(d) All Policies provided for or contemplated by Section 6.1(a), except for the Policy referenced in Section 6.1(a)(v), shall name Borrower as the insured and Lender (and its affiliates) as the additional insured, as its interests may appear, and in the case of property damage, boiler and machinery, flood and earthquake insurance, shall contain a so-called New York standard non-contributing mortgagee clause in favor of Lender providing that the loss thereunder shall be payable to Lender.
(e) All Policies provided for in Section 6.1 shall contain clauses or endorsements to the effect that:
(i) | no act or negligence of Borrower, or anyone acting for Borrower, or of any tenant or other occupant, or failure to comply with the provisions of any Policy, which might otherwise result in a forfeiture of the insurance or any part thereof, shall in any way affect the validity or enforceability of the insurance insofar as Lender is concerned; |
(ii) | the Policies shall not be materially changed (other than to increase the coverage provided thereby) or canceled without at least thirty (30) days’ notice (or ten (10) days’ notice with respect to non-payment) to Lender and any other party named therein as an additional insured; |
(iii) | the issuers thereof shall give notice to Lender if the Policies have not been renewed fifteen (15) days prior to its expiration; and |
(iv) | Lender shall not be liable for any Insurance Premiums thereon or subject to any assessments thereunder. |
(f) If at any time Lender is not in receipt of written evidence that all Policies are in full force and effect, Lender shall give notice (which notice may be oral) thereof to Borrower and Borrower shall within two (2) Business Days of such notice, deliver such written evidence as Lender shall reasonably require that all policies are in full force and effect. If Borrower does not provide Lender with such evidence that all Policies are in full force and effect within two (2) Business Days of Lender’s notice, Lender shall have the right, without further notice to Borrower, 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
73
sole discretion deems appropriate. 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 shall (a) give prompt notice of such damage to Lender, and (b) promptly commence and diligently prosecute the completion of the Restoration so that the Property resembles, as nearly as possible, the condition the Property was in immediately prior to such Casualty, with such alterations as may be reasonably approved by Lender and otherwise in accordance with Section 6.4. Borrower shall pay all costs of such Restoration whether or not such costs are covered by insurance. Lender may, but shall not be obligated to make proof of loss if not made promptly by Borrower. In addition, Lender may approve (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) any settlement 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 Five Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($500,000.00) and Borrower shall deliver to Lender all instruments required by Lender to permit such participation.
Section 6.3 Condemnation. Borrower shall promptly give Lender notice of the actual or threatened commencement of any proceeding in respect of Condemnation and shall deliver to Lender copies of any and all papers served in connection with such proceedings. Lender may participate in any such proceedings, and Borrower shall from time to time deliver to Lender all instruments requested by Lender to permit such participation. Borrower shall, at its expense, diligently prosecute any such proceedings, and shall consult with Lender, its attorneys and experts, and cooperate with them in the carrying on or defense of any such proceedings. Notwithstanding any taking by any public or quasi-public authority through Condemnation or otherwise (including, but not limited to, any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of the exercise of such taking), Borrower shall continue to perform the Obligations at the time and in the manner provided in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the Outstanding Principal Balance shall not be reduced until any Award shall have been actually received and applied by Lender, after the deduction of expenses of collection, to the reduction or discharge of the Obligations. Lender shall not be limited to the interest paid on the Award by the applicable Governmental Authority but shall be entitled to receive out of the Award interest at the rate or rates provided herein or in the Note. If the Property or any portion thereof is taken by a Governmental Authority, Borrower shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute Restoration and otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 6.4. If the Property is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Lender of the Award, Lender shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Note shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive the Award, or a portion thereof sufficient to pay the Debt.
Section 6.4 Restoration. The following provisions shall apply in connection with the Restoration:
(a) If the Net Proceeds shall be less than Five Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($500,000.00) and the costs of completing the Restoration shall be less than Five Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($500,000.00), the Net Proceeds will be disbursed by
74
Lender to Borrower upon receipt, provided that all of the conditions set forth in Section 6.4(b)(i) 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 Five Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($500,000.00) or the costs of completing the Restoration is equal to or greater than One Million and No/100 Dollars ($1,000,000.00), the Net Proceeds will be held by Lender and 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), (vi), (ix) and (x) as a result of such damage or destruction, after deduction of its 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 Lender’s reasonable costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable counsel costs and fees), if any, in collecting same (“Condemnation Proceeds”), whichever the case may be.
(i) | The Net Proceeds shall be made available to Borrower for Restoration upon the approval of Lender in its sole discretion that 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 twenty-five percent (25%) 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 ten percent (10%) of the land constituting the Property is taken, and such land is located along the perimeter or periphery of the Property, and no material portion of the Improvements is located on such land;
(C) Borrower shall commence Restoration as soon as reasonably practicable (but in no event later than sixty (60) days after such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, occurs) and shall diligently pursue the same to satisfactory completion (it being agreed that the development of Building Plans shall constitute commencement of the 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)(iii), if applicable, or (3) by other funds of Borrower;
75
(E) Lender shall be satisfied that Restoration will be completed on or before the earliest to occur of (1) three (3) months prior to the Maturity Date as the same is extended pursuant to Section 2.7 hereof (and if necessary to satisfy this requirement, the period set forth in Section 2.7 during which Borrower may exercise any option to extend the term of the Loan shall be extended to permit Borrower to exercise such extension option, but in no event more than twelve (12) months prior to the then Maturity Date, (2) such time as may be required under applicable Legal Requirements, or (3) the expiration of the insurance coverage referred to in Section 6.1(a)(iii) unless Borrower has deposited with Lender prior to the commencement of the Restoration sums sufficient after the expiration of such insurance to (x) operate the Property in a manner consistent with the manner in which the Property was operated immediately prior to such Casualty or Condemnation and (y) pay all sums as they become due under the Loan in a timely manner;
(F) the Property and the use thereof after Restoration will be in compliance with and permitted under all applicable Legal Requirements;
(G) Restoration shall be done and completed by Borrower 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) upon completion of the Restoration, the projected Net Operating Income for the following twelve (12) month period as reasonably estimated by Lender, shall be sufficient to achieve a Debt Service Coverage Ratio of at least 1.50 to 1.00 (and for purposes of this clause (I) only, the Debt Service Coverage Ratio shall be calculated at the interest rate computed in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement at a deemed annual rate of 8.20%);
(J) Borrower shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Lender a signed detailed budget approved in writing by Borrower’s architect or engineer stating the entire cost of completing the Restoration; and
(K) the Net Proceeds together with any cash or cash equivalent deposited by Borrower with Lender are sufficient in Lender’s reasonable discretion to cover the cost of Restoration.
(ii) | The Net Proceeds shall be paid directly to Lender for deposit in an interest-bearing account and, until disbursed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4(b), shall constitute additional security for the Debt and the Other Obligations. The Net Proceeds shall be disbursed by Lender to, or as directed by, Borrower from time to time during the course of Restoration, upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to Lender that (A) all materials installed and |
76
work and labor performed (except to the extent that they are to be paid for out of the requested disbursement) in connection with 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; provided, however, Lender shall disburse to, or as directed by, Borrower up to ten percent (10%) of the Net Proceeds received by Lender to fund deposits to contractors, subcontractors and/or materialmen when necessary, to secure timely performance of the Restoration, due to the occurrence of a catastrophic event such as a hurricane or earthquake, upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to Lender that such deposits are required to be paid. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender shall have no obligation under this paragraph unless and until Net Proceeds have been received by it and Borrower has complied with the provisions of the preceding sentence. |
(iii) | All plans and specifications required in connection with the Restoration shall be subject to prior review and reasonable acceptance in all respects by Lender and by an independent consulting engineer selected by Lender (the “Casualty Consultant”). In connection with the delivery of the plans and specifications to Lender and/or Casualty Consultant by Borrower, if Borrower marks such delivery with a legend marked in not less than fourteen (14) point bold face type, underlined, in all capital letters “ATTACHED PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS DEEMED APPROVED IF NO RESPONSE WITHIN FIFTEEN (15) BUSINESS DAYS”, and Lender and/or the Casualty Consultant fails to respond to the delivery of such plans and specifications within such fifteen (15) Business Day period, Lender shall be deemed to have approved such Plans and Specifications. 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 Restoration including, without limitation, reasonable counsel fees and disbursements and the reasonable Casualty Consultant’s fees, shall be paid by Borrower. |
77
(iv) | In no event shall Lender be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds in excess of an amount equal to the costs actually incurred from time to time for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, minus the Casualty Retainage. The term “Casualty Retainage” shall mean, as to each contractor, subcontractor or materialman engaged in the Restoration, 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 Restoration has been fifty percent (50%) completed, at which point no additional Retainage shall be required (i.e., upon completion of the Restoration the Retainage shall equal 5% of the cost of the work). The Casualty Retainage shall in no event, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above in this Section 6.4(b), be less than the amount actually held back by Borrower from contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration. The Casualty Retainage shall not be released until the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that 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 Authorities, and Lender receives evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that the costs of 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, and, provided that the State in which the Property is located is a jurisdiction in which the priority of the Lien of the Mortgage will not be affected by intervening mechanic’s liens, the Lender receives an update to the Title Insurance Policy indicating the continued priority of the Lien of the Mortgage. 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. |
78
(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 reasonably estimated by the Casualty Consultant to be incurred in connection with the completion of the Restoration, Borrower shall deposit the deficiency (the “Net Proceeds Deficiency”) with Lender before any further disbursement of the Net Proceeds shall be made. The Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender shall be held by Lender and shall be disbursed for costs actually incurred in connection with the Restoration on the same conditions applicable to the disbursement of the Net Proceeds, and until so disbursed pursuant to this Section 6.4(b) shall constitute additional security for the Debt and the Other Obligations. |
(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 Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4(b), and the receipt by Lender of evidence satisfactory to Lender that all costs incurred in connection with the Restoration have been paid in full, shall be remitted by Lender to Borrower, provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and shall be continuing. |

RESERVE FUNDS
Section 7.1 Required Repair Funds.
7.1.1 Deposits. Borrower shall perform the repairs at the Property as more particularly set forth on Schedule II hereto (such repairs hereinafter collectively referred to as “Required Repairs”). Borrower shall complete the Required Repairs on or before the required deadline for each repair as set forth on Schedule II hereto, as the same may be extended due to Unavoidable Delays. It shall be an Event of Default under this Agreement if (a) Borrower does not complete the Required Repairs by the required deadline for each repair as set forth on Schedule II (as the same may be extended by Unavoidable Delays), or (b) Borrower does not satisfy each condition contained in Section 7.1.2 hereof. Upon the occurrence of such an Event of Default, Lender, at its option, may withdraw all Required Repair Funds from the Required Repair Account and Lender may apply such funds either to completion of the Required Repairs. Lender’s right to withdraw and apply Required Repair Funds shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies provided to Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. On the Closing Date, Borrower shall deposit with Lender the amount set forth on such Schedule II hereto to perform the Required Repairs multiplied by one hundred twenty-five percent (125%). Amounts so deposited with Lender shall be held by Lender in accordance with Section 7.5 hereof. Amounts so deposited shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrower’s “Required Repair Funds” and the account in which such amounts are held shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrower’s “Required Repair Account.”
7.1.2 Release of Required Repair Funds. (a) Lender shall disburse to Borrower the Required Repair Funds from the Required Repair Account from time to time, but not more frequently than once in any thirty (30) day period, upon satisfaction by Borrower of each of the following conditions with respect to each disbursement: (i) Borrower shall submit a written request for payment to Lender at least fifteen (15) days prior to the date on which Borrower requests such payment be made, which request specifies the Required Repairs to be paid, (ii) on the date such request is received by Lender and on the date such payment is to be made, no Release Default or Event of Default shall exist and remain uncured, (iii) Lender shall have received an Officer’s Certificate (A) stating that all Required Repairs to be funded by the requested disbursement have been completed in a good and workmanlike manner and in accordance with all applicable federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations, such Officer’s Certificate to be accompanied by a copy of any license, permit or other approval by any Governmental Authority required to commence and/or complete the Required Repairs, (B) identifying each Person that supplied materials or labor in connection with the Required Repairs to be funded by the requested disbursement, and (C) stating that each such Person has been paid in full or will be paid in full upon such disbursement for work completed and/or materials furnished to date, and, if the request for disbursement exceeds $100,000 such Officer’s Certificate to be accompanied by lien waivers or other evidence of payment satisfactory to Lender and the Title Company, (iv) Lender shall have received a title search indicating that the Property is free from all liens, claims and other encumbrances not previously approved by Lender, (v) Lender shall have received such other evidence as Lender shall reasonably request that the Required Repairs to be funded by the requested disbursement have been completed and
80
are paid for or will be paid upon such disbursement to Borrower. Lender shall not be required to make disbursements from the Required Repair Account unless such requested disbursement is in an amount greater than $5,000 (or a lesser amount if the total amount in the Required Repair Account is less than $5,000, 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 7.1.2.
(b) Nothing in this Section 7.1.2 shall (i) make Lender responsible for performing or completing any Required Repairs; (ii) require Lender to expend funds in addition to the Required Repairs Funds to complete any Required Repairs; (iii) obligate Lender to proceed with any Required Repairs; or (iv) obligate Lender to demand from Borrower additional sums to complete any Required Repairs.
(c) Borrower shall permit Lender and Lender’s agents and representatives (including Lender’s engineer, architect or inspector) or third parties to enter onto the Property during normal business hours (subject to the rights of tenants under their Leases) to inspect the progress of any Required Repairs and all materials being used in connection therewith and to examine all plans and shop drawings relating to such Required Repairs, such inspections to be made with minimal interference with the conduct of Tenant’s business. Borrower shall cause all contractors and subcontractors to cooperate with Lender or Lender’s representatives or such other Persons described above in connection with inspections described in this Section 7.1.2(c).
(d) If a disbursement will exceed $100,000.00, Lender may require an inspection of the Property at Borrower’s expense prior to making a disbursement of Required Repairs Funds in order to verify completion of the Required Repairs for which reimbursement is sought. Lender may require that such inspection be conducted by an appropriate independent qualified professional selected by Lender and may require a certificate of completion by an independent qualified professional architect acceptable to Lender prior to the disbursement of Required Repairs Funds. Borrower shall pay the reasonable expense of the inspection as required hereunder, whether such inspection is conducted by Lender or by an independent qualified professional architect.
(e) In addition to any insurance required under the Loan Documents, Borrower shall provide or cause to be provided worker’s compensation insurance, builder’s risk, and public liability insurance and other insurance to the extent required under applicable law in connection with the Required Repairs. All such policies shall be in form and amount reasonably satisfactory to Lender.
7.1.3 Balance in Required Repair Account. The insufficiency of any balance in the Required Repair Account shall not relieve Borrower from its obligation to perform the Required Repairs in a good and workmanlike manner and in accordance with all Legal Requirements.
Section 7.2 Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds. On the date hereof, Borrower shall deposit with Lender $270,510.83 on account of the Taxes next coming due and $90,111.90 on account of the Insurance Premiums next coming due. Additionally, Borrower shall pay to Lender on each Payment Date (a) one-twelfth of the Taxes that Lender estimates will be payable
81
during the next ensuing twelve (12) months in order to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Taxes at least thirty (30) days prior to their respective due dates, and (b) one-twelfth 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 (the foregoing amounts deposited with Lender on the date hereof and in clauses (a) and (b) above are hereinafter called the “Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds”). The Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds and the payment of the monthly Debt Service, shall be added together and shall be paid as an aggregate sum by Borrower to Lender. Lender will apply the Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds to payments of Taxes and Insurance Premiums required to be made by Borrower pursuant to Section 5.1.2 hereof 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) 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. If the amount of the Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds shall exceed the amounts due for Taxes and Insurance Premiums pursuant to Section 5.1.2 hereof, Lender shall, following written request by Borrower, promptly return any excess to Borrower. Any amount remaining in the Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds after the Debt has been paid in full shall be returned to Borrower. In allocating such excess, Lender may deal with the Person shown on the records of Lender to be the owner of the Property. If at any time Lender reasonably determines that the Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds are not or will not be sufficient to pay Taxes and Insurance Premiums by the dates set forth in (a) and (b) above, Lender shall notify Borrower of such determination and Borrower shall increase its monthly payments to Lender by the amount that Lender estimates is sufficient to make up the deficiency at least thirty (30) days prior to the due date of the Taxes and/or thirty (30) days prior to expiration of the Policies, as the case may be.
Section 7.3 FF&E Reserve.
7.3.1 FF&E Reserve Funds. Borrower shall deposit with Lender on the Closing Date one-twelfth of the amount of the Approved FF&E Budget (the “FF&E Reserve Deposit”). The amount of the FF&E Reserve Deposit shall be recalculated annually during the term of the Loan, as of January 1 of each year (or as soon thereafter as Gross Income from Operations for the preceding year shall be determined to Lender’s reasonable satisfaction) such that the FF&E Reserve Deposit shall be equal to four (4%) percent of the prior year’s Gross Income from Operations divided by twelve (12). Amounts so deposited shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrower’s “FF&E Reserve Funds” and the account in which such amounts are held shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrower’s “FF&E Reserve Account.” Within thirty (30) days following the end of each calendar quarter, Borrower shall provide to Lender a preliminary report with respect to the expenditures made by or on behalf of Borrower with respect to the Property for FF&E during such calendar quarter. In the event that the lesser of (a) the Approved Annual FF&E Budget for such calendar quarter (provided such Approved Annual FF&E Budget is not less than four (4%) percent of the Gross Income from Operations for such quarter) or (b) four (4%) percent of the actual Gross Income from Operations for such quarter, exceeds the actual expenditures made by Borrower for FF&E for such quarter, Borrower shall deposit an amount equal to any such difference in the FF&E Reserve Account to be held as FF&E Reserve
82
Funds to be disbursed pursuant to the provisions of this Section 7.3. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the amount of any such deposit required to be made by Borrower shall be reduced by the amount of any actual expenditure made by Borrower for any FF&E completed prior to the calendar quarter in which such FF&E was scheduled to be made pursuant to the Approved Annual FF&E Budget. If the actual expenditures made by Borrower for FF&E exceeds the lesser of (x) the Approved Annual FF&E Budget for such calendar quarter (provided such Approved Annual FF&E Budget is not less than four (4%) percent of the Gross Income from Operations for such quarter) or (b) four (4%) percent of the actual Gross Income from Operations for such quarter, Lender shall reimburse Borrower for such excess to the extent that funds are available from the FF&E Reserve Account within fifteen (15) days from Borrower’s request. To the extent there are not sufficient funds in the FF&E Reserve Account to reimburse Borrower for any excess actual expenditures during such calendar quarter, such excess expenditures shall be added to the actual expenditures for the next calendar quarter in the determination of any amounts required to be deposited in the FF&E Reserve Account for such calendar quarter. In lieu of making any required deposits to the FF&E Reserve Account (other than the FF&E Reserve Deposit), Borrower may deliver to Lender a Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the amount that is required to be deposited into the FF&E Reserve Account. Such Letter of Credit shall constitute additional collateral for the Loan and Lender shall have the right to draw down upon such Letter of Credit and apply the proceeds thereof for the purposes set forth in the Approved FF&E Budget if Borrower fails to do so within a reasonable time after notice from Lender, or Lender shall have the right to draw down upon such Letter of Credit and apply the proceeds thereof as otherwise provided in this Agreement following an Event of Default. All earnings or interest on the FF&E Reserve Funds shall be and become part of the FF&E Reserve Funds and shall be disbursed as provided in this Section 7.3.
7.3.2 Disbursements from FF&E Reserve Account. Lender shall make disbursements from the FF&E Reserve Account as provided in Section 7.3.1 following request by Borrower, and, if required by Lender for disbursements in excess of $100,000.00 for a single item, lien waivers and releases from all parties furnishing materials and/or services in connection with the requested payment. Lender may require an inspection of the Property at Borrower’s expense prior to making a monthly disbursement in order to verify completion of replacements and repairs of items in excess of $100,000.00 for which reimbursement is sought.
7.3.3 Balance in the FF&E Account. The insufficiency of any balance in the FF&E Reserve Account shall not relieve Borrower from its obligation to fulfill all preservation and maintenance covenants in the Loan Documents.
Section 7.4 Intentionally Omitted.
Section 7.5 Debt Service Reserve.
7.5.1 Debt Service Reserve Funds. Borrower shall deposit with Lender on the Closing Date the sum of $272,650.00 (the “Debt Service Reserve”). Amounts so deposited shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Debt Service Reserve Funds” and the account in which such amounts are held shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Debt Service Reserve Account.” The Debt Service Reserve will be available for use by Borrower in the event that Net Cash Flow from the Property for any month shall be less than Debt Service for such month. In lieu of
83
making any required deposits to the Debt Service Reserve Account, Borrower may deliver to Lender a Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the amount that is required to be deposited into the Debt Service Reserve Account. All earnings or interest on the Debt Service Reserve Fund shall be and become part of such Debt Service Reserve Fund and shall be disbursed as provided in this Section 7.5.
In the event Net Cash Flow equals or exceeds $8,000,000.00 for the preceding twelve (12) consecutive month period, the Debt Service Reserve Funds will be released to Borrower following Borrower’s written request therefor.
7.5.2 Disbursements from Debt Service Reserve Account. Provided no Release Default or Event of Default exists, Lender shall make disbursements from the Debt Service Reserve Account as requested by Borrower to the extent such funds are available, no more frequently than once in any thirty (30) day period in the event that Net Cash Flow is less than Debt Service for such month.
7.5.3 Balance in the Debt Service Account. The insufficiency of any balance in the Debt Service Reserve Account shall not relieve Borrower from its obligation to pay the Monthly Interest Payment when due hereunder.
Section 7.6 Reserve Funds, Generally.
(a) Borrower grants to Lender a first-priority perfected security interest in all of the Reserve Funds and any and all monies now or hereafter deposited in each Reserve Fund as additional security for the Obligations. Until expended or applied in accordance herewith, the Reserve Funds shall constitute additional security for payment of the Obligations. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender may, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies available to Lender, apply any sums then present in any or all of the Reserve Funds to the reduction of the Outstanding Principal Balance 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.
(b) Borrower shall not, without obtaining the prior consent of Lender, further pledge, assign or grant any security interest in any Reserve Fund or the monies deposited therein or permit any lien or encumbrance to attach thereto, or any levy to be made thereon, or any UCC-1 Financing Statements, except those naming Lender as the secured party, to be filed with respect thereto.
(c) The Reserve Funds shall be held in an Eligible Account and shall bear interest at a money market rate selected by Lender. All interest or other earnings on a Reserve Fund shall be added to and become a part of such Reserve Fund and shall be disbursed in the same manner as other monies deposited in such Reserve Fund. Borrower shall have the right to direct Lender to invest sums on deposit in the Eligible Account in Permitted Investments provided (a) such investments are then regularly offered by Lender for accounts of this size, category and type, (b) such investments are permitted by applicable federal, state and local rules, regulations and laws, (c) the maturity date of the Permitted Investment is not later than the date on which the applicable Reserve Funds are required for payment of an obligation for which such
84
Reserve Fund was created, and (d) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. Borrower shall be responsible for payment of any federal, state or local income or other tax applicable to the interest or income earned on the Reserve Funds. No other investments of the sums on deposit in the Reserve Funds shall be permitted except as set forth in this Section 7.5. Borrower shall bear all reasonable costs associated with the investment of the sums in the account in Permitted Investments. Such costs shall be deducted from the income or earnings on such investment, if any, and to the extent such income or earnings shall not be sufficient to pay such costs, such costs shall be paid by Borrower promptly on demand by Lender. Lender shall have no liability for the rate of return earned or losses incurred on the investment of the sums in Permitted Investments.
(d) Borrower shall indemnify Lender and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all actions, suits, claims, demands, liabilities, losses, damages, obligations and costs and expenses (including litigation costs and reasonable attorneys fees and expenses) arising from or in any way connected with the Reserve Funds or the performance of the obligations for which the Reserve Funds were established. Borrower shall assign to Lender all rights and claims Borrower may have against all Persons supplying labor, materials or other services which are to be paid from or secured by the Reserve Funds; provided, however, that Lender may not pursue any such right or claim unless an Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured.
(e) After payment in full of all sums evidenced by the Note and secured by the Mortgage and release or assignment by Lender of the lien of the Mortgage, Lender shall disburse to Borrower all amounts remaining in the Reserves.

(a) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, all or any one or more of the rights, powers, privileges and other remedies available to Lender against Borrower under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents executed and delivered by, or applicable to, Borrower or at law or in equity may be exercised by Lender at any time and from time to time, whether or not all or any of the Debt shall be declared due and payable, and whether or not Lender shall have commenced any foreclosure proceeding or other action for the enforcement of its rights and remedies under any of the Loan Documents. Any such actions taken by Lender shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singularly, successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in its sole discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender permitted by law, equity or contract or as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower agrees that if an Event of Default is continuing (i) Lender shall not be 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 Obligations have been paid in full.

Further, the Severed Loan Documents shall not contain any representations, warranties or covenants not contained in the Loan Documents and any such representations and warranties contained in the Severed Loan Documents will be given by Borrower only as of the Closing Date.

(c) 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 by Lender in its sole discretion, including 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 and/or 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, Lender may foreclose the Mortgage to recover so much of the Debt as Lender may accelerate and such other sums secured by the Mortgage as Lender may elect. Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, the Property shall remain subject to the Mortgage to secure payment of sums secured by the Mortgage and not previously recovered.
(d) Any amounts recovered from the Property or any other collateral for the Loan after 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) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing or otherwise impairing or 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, Borrower agrees that if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing Lender shall have the right to immediately draw down in full upon any Letter of Credit delivered by, or on behalf of Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and apply the proceeds of such draw towards 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.
(f) Remedies Cumulative; Waivers. The rights, powers and remedies of Lender under this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which Lender may have against Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or existing at law or in equity or otherwise. Lender’s rights, powers and remedies may be pursued singularly, concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in Lender’s sole discretion. No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of Default shall impair any such remedy, right or power or shall be construed as a waiver thereof, but any such remedy, right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. A waiver of one Default or Event of Default with respect to Borrower shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default by Borrower or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon.

(b) The Indemnifying Persons agree to provide, in connection with the Securitization, an indemnification agreement (i) certifying that (A) the Indemnifying Persons have carefully examined the Disclosure Documents, including, without limitation, the sections entitled “Risk Factors,” “Special Considerations,” “Description of the Mortgages,” “Description of the Mortgage Loans and Mortgaged Property,” “The Manager,” “The Borrower” and “Certain Legal Aspects of the Mortgage Loan,” and (B) such sections and such other information in the Disclosure Documents (to the extent such information relates to or includes any Provided Information or any information regarding the Property, Borrower, Manager and/or the Loan) (collectively with the Provided Information, the “Covered Disclosure Information”) do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, (ii) jointly and severally indemnifying Lender, CSFB (whether or not it is Lender), any Affiliate of CSFB that has filed any registration statement relating to the Securitization or has acted as the sponsor or depositor in connection with the Securitization, any Affiliate of CSFB that acts as an underwriter, placement agent or initial purchaser of Securities issued in the Securitization, any other co-underwriters, co-placement agents or co-initial purchasers of Securities issued in the Securitization, and each of their respective officers, directors, partners, employees, representatives, agents and Affiliates and each Person or entity who controls any such Person within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively, the “Indemnified Persons”), for any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs or expenses (including without limitation legal fees and expenses for enforcement of these obligations (collectively, the “Liabilities”)) to which any such Indemnified Person may become subject insofar as the Liabilities arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Covered Disclosure Information or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state in the Covered Disclosure Information a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order
91
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 legal or other expenses incurred by such Indemnified Person, as they are incurred, in connection with investigating or defending the Liabilities. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which Borrower may otherwise have. Moreover, the indemnification 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, 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 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
92
(1) such separate counsel unless any 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 any Indemnifying Person.
(e) Without the prior consent of CSFB (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), 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 CSFB 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 proceeding. 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).
(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: (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 (by underwriting discount or otherwise) actually received by the Indemnified Persons in connection with the closing of the Loan or the 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 rights, 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 Obligations.
93
(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 [RESERVED]
Section 9.4 Exculpation. Subject to the qualifications below, Lender shall not enforce the liability and obligation of Borrower to perform and observe the obligations contained in the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage or the other Loan Documents by any action or proceeding wherein a money judgment shall be sought against Borrower, except that Lender may bring a foreclosure action, an action for specific performance or any other appropriate action or proceeding to enable Lender to enforce and realize upon its interest under the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage, 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 only to the extent of Borrower’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 in any such action or proceeding under, or by reason of, or in connection with, the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage or the other Loan Documents. The provisions of this Section shall not, however, (a) constitute a waiver, release or impairment of any obligation evidenced or secured by any of the Loan Documents; (b) impair the right of Lender to name Borrower as a party defendant in any action or suit for foreclosure and sale under the Mortgage or the Second Mortgage; (c) affect the validity or enforceability of any guaranty or indemnity, including without limitation, the Guaranty, the Borrower Guaranty and/or the Environmental Indemnity, made in connection with the Loan or any of the rights and remedies of Lender thereunder; (d) impair the right of Lender to obtain the appointment of a receiver; (e) impair the enforcement of the Assignment of Leases; (f) constitute a prohibition against Lender to seek a deficiency judgment against Borrower in order to fully realize the security granted by the Mortgage and/or the other Loan Documents or to commence any other appropriate action or proceeding in order for Lender to exercise its remedies against the Property; or (g) constitute a waiver of the right of Lender to enforce the liability and obligation of Borrower, by money judgment or otherwise, to the extent of any actual loss, damage, cost, expense, liability, claim or other obligation incurred by Lender (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs reasonably incurred) arising out of or in connection with the following:
(i) | fraud or intentional misrepresentation by any Significant Party in connection with the Loan, including by reason of any claim under RICO; |
(ii) | the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Borrower; |
(iii) | the breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or indemnification provision in the Environmental Indemnity Agreement or in the Mortgage concerning environmental laws, hazardous substances or asbestos and any indemnification of Lender with respect thereto in either document; |
94
(iv) | the intentional removal or destruction of any portion of the Property by Borrower or any party acting on behalf of Borrower after an Event of Default; |
(v) | any Legal Requirement (including RICO) mandating the forfeiture by Borrower of the Property, or any portion thereof, because of the conduct or purported conduct of criminal activity by Borrower or any Significant Party in connection therewith; |
(vi) | the misappropriation or conversion by or on behalf of Borrower of (A) any Insurance Proceeds paid by reason of any Casualty, (B) any Awards received in connection with a Condemnation, (C) any Rents following an Event of Default, or (D) any Rents paid more than one (1) month in advance; |
(vii) | failure to pay, when funds are available from the Property or Reserves, charges for labor or materials or other charges which become Liens on of the Property which were prior to the Lien of the Mortgage; |
(viii) | any security deposits, advance deposits or any other deposits collected with respect to the Property which are not delivered to Lender upon a foreclosure of the Property or action in lieu thereof, except to the extent any such security deposits were applied in accordance with the terms and conditions of any of the Leases prior to the occurrence of the Event of Default that gave rise to such foreclosure or action in lieu thereof; and |
(ix) | failure of Borrower to direct the payment of or, pay any, Rents or other Receipts to the Property Account as required by the Loan Documents; and |
(x) | the failure of Borrower to apply monies disbursed to it from the Cash Management Account (or any sub-account thereof) for the purpose which such disbursement is made. |
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Note or any of the Loan Documents, (A) Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any right which Lender may have under Section 506(a), 506(b), 1111(b) or any other provisions of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code to file a claim for the full amount of the Debt secured by the Mortgage or to require that all collateral shall continue to secure all of the Obligations in accordance with the Loan Documents, and (B) the Debt shall be fully recourse to Borrower (i) in the event of: (a) Borrower filing a voluntary petition under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law; (b) Borrower, or any Person acting on behalf of Borrower, soliciting or causing to be solicited petitioning creditors for any involuntary petition against Borrower from any Person; (c) Borrower filing an answer consenting to or otherwise acquiescing in or joining in any involuntary petition filed against it, by any other Person under the Bankruptcy Code or any other
95
Federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law, or soliciting or causing to be solicited petitioning creditors for any involuntary petition from any Person; (d) Borrower consenting to or acquiescing in or joining in an application for the appointment of a custodian, receiver, trustee, or examiner for Borrower or any portion of the Property; (e) Borrower making an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or admitting, in writing or in any legal proceeding, its insolvency or inability to pay its debts as they become due; (ii) if Borrower fails to maintain its status as a Single Purpose Entity; (iii) if Borrower fails to obtain Lender’s prior consent to any Indebtedness or voluntary Lien encumbering the Property as required by this Agreement or the Mortgage; (iv) if any Restricted Party fails to obtain Lender’s prior consent to any Transfer as required by this Agreement or the Mortgage; or (v) an act or omission of Borrower, Principal, Guarantor or any Affiliate of Borrower, Principal, or Guarantor which hinders, delays or interferes with Lender’s enforcement of its rights hereunder or the realization of the Collateral, including the assertion by Borrower, Principal, Guarantor or such Affiliate of defenses or counterclaims.
Further, if any Significant Party fails to provide financial information in accordance with Section 5.1.11 hereof within a reasonable time following request by Lender therefor, Borrower shall pay an amount equal to $10,000 in order to defray the expense incurred by Lender as a result of such delay and to compensate Lender for any losses suffered as a result of such delay.
Section 9.5 Matters Concerning Manager. If (a) the Manager shall become bankrupt or insolvent or (b) a material default occurs under the Management Agreement beyond any applicable grace and cure periods, Borrower shall, at the request of Lender, terminate the Management Agreement and replace the Manager with a Qualified Manager pursuant to a Replacement Management Agreement, it being understood and agreed that the management fee for such replacement manager shall not exceed then prevailing market rates.
Section 9.6 Servicer. At the option of Lender, the Loan may be serviced by a servicer/trustee (the “Servicer”) selected by Lender and Lender may delegate all or any portion of its responsibilities under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to the Servicer pursuant to a servicing agreement (the “Servicing Agreement”) between Lender and Servicer. Borrower shall not be responsible for any set-up fees or any other costs relating to or arising under the Servicing Agreement; including the monthly servicing fee due to the Servicer under the Servicing Agreement.
Section 9.7 Severance of Loan Documents. Lender shall have the right, at any time (whether prior to or after any sale or participation of all or any portion of the Loan), to modify the Loan in order to create one or more senior and subordinate notes (i.e., an A/B or A/B/C structure) and/or one or more additional components of the Note or Notes, reduce the number of components of the Note or Notes, revise the interest rate for each component, reallocate the principal balances of the Notes and/or the components, increase or decrease the monthly debt service payments for each component or eliminate the component structure and/or the multiple note structure of the Loan (including the elimination of the related allocations of principal and interest payments), provided that the Outstanding Principal Balance of all components immediately after the effective date of such modification equals the Outstanding Principal Balance immediately prior to such modification and the weighted average of the interest rates for all components immediately after the effective date of such modification equals the interest rate of the original Note immediately prior to such modification and modify the Cash Management
96
Agreement with respect to the newly created components such that the pricing and marketability of the Securities and the size of each class of Securities and the rating assigned to each such class by the Rating Agencies shall provide the most favorable rating levels and achieve the optimum rating levels for the Loan. Lender shall have the right to modify the Note and/or Notes and any components in accordance with this Section 9.7 and, provided that such modification shall comply with the terms of this Section 9.7, it shall become immediately effective. If requested by Lender, Borrower shall promptly execute an amendment to the Loan Documents to evidence any such modification. In the event Borrower fails to deliver said amendment to Lender within fifteen (15) Business Days after request, Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints Lender as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact (with full power of substitution), coupled with an interest, in its name and stead to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect the aforesaid severance, Borrower ratifying all that its said attorney shall do by virtue thereof; provided, that, Lender shall not make or execute any such documents under such power until three (3) Business Days after notice has been given to Borrower by Lender of Lender’s intent to exercise its rights under such power. Lender shall be obligated to pay any reasonable costs or expenses incurred by Lender or Borrower in connection with the preparation, execution, recording or filing of the Severed Loan Documents. Except as may be required in connection with a securitization, the Severed Loan Documents shall not contain any representations, warranties or covenants not contained in the Loan Documents.
9.8 Mezzanine Loan Option. Lender shall have the right, on or before the date which is one (1) year following the Closing Date, to divide the Loan into two parts (the “Mezzanine Option”): a mortgage loan (the “Mortgage Loan”) and a mezzanine loan (the “Mezzanine Loan”). In such event, Borrower agrees to cause the formation of the Mezzanine Borrower. The principal amount of the Mortgage Loan plus the principal amount of the Mezzanine Loan shall equal the outstanding principal balance of the Loan immediately prior to the creation of the Mortgage Loan and the Mezzanine Loan. In effectuating the foregoing, Mezzanine Lender will make a loan to Mezzanine Borrower; Mezzanine Borrower will contribute the amount of the Mezzanine Loan to Borrower (in its capacity as Borrower under the Mortgage Loan, “Mortgage Borrower”) and Mortgage Borrower will apply the contribution to pay down the Loan to its Mortgage Loan amount. The Mortgage Loan and the Mezzanine Loan will be on the same terms and subject to the same conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Note, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents except as follows:
(a) Lender (in its capacity as the lender under the Mortgage Loan, the “Mortgage Lender”) shall have the right to establish different interest rates and debt service payments for the Mortgage Loan and the Mezzanine Loan and to require the payment of the Mortgage Loan and the Mezzanine Loan in such order of priority as may be designated by Lender; provided, that (i) the total loan amounts for the Mortgage Loan and the Mezzanine Loan shall equal the amount of the Loan immediately prior to the creation of the Mortgage Loan and the Mezzanine Loan, (ii) the weighted average interest rate of the Mortgage Loan and the Mezzanine Loan shall on the date created equal the interest rate which was applicable to the Loan immediately prior to creation of a Mortgage Loan and a Mezzanine Loan and (iii) prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, the debt service payments on the Mortgage Loan note and the Mezzanine Loan note shall equal the debt service payment which are due under the Loan as if no Mezzanine Loan had been created.
97
(b) Mezzanine Borrower shall be a special purpose, bankruptcy remote entity pursuant to applicable Rating Agency criteria and shall own directly or indirectly one hundred percent (100%) of Mortgage Borrower. The security for the Mezzanine Loan shall be a pledge of one hundred percent (100%) of the direct and indirect ownership interests in Mortgage Borrower.
(c) Mezzanine Borrower and Mortgage Borrower shall cooperate with all reasonable requests of Lender in order to convert the Loan into a Mortgage Loan and a Mezzanine Loan and shall execute and deliver such documents as shall reasonably be required by Lender and any Rating Agency in connection therewith, including, without limitation, the delivery of non-consolidation opinions and the modification of organizational documents and loan documents. In the event Mortgage Borrower and/or Mezzanine Borrower fail to execute and deliver such documents to Lender within five (5) Business Days following such request by Lender, Mortgage Borrower and/or Mezzanine Borrower, as applicable, hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoint Lender as their true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in their name and xxxxx to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect such transactions, Mortgage Borrower and/or Mezzanine Borrower, as applicable, ratifying all that such attorney shall do by virtue thereof. Lender shall pay all costs and expenses in connection with the creation of the Mortgage Loan and the Mezzanine Loan and all requirements relating thereto, including, without limitation, the cost of any UCC lien insurance policy.
(d) It shall be an Event of Default under this Agreement, the Note, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents if Borrower or Mezzanine Borrower fails to comply with any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Section 9.8 after expiration of ten (10) Business Days after notice thereof.

The FAA has told the Broward County Department of Aviation (DOA) that it needs to expand the Broward County airport’s south runway based on estimates of future traffic growth. It is likely that the south runway must be expanded in the direction of Wyndham Ft. Lauderdale Airport Hotel due to environmental concerns in the opposite direction. However, the impact on the Wyndham property is unknown because this project is very preliminary and there are several remaining open issues including:
* | Length of the runway expansion |
* | Whether the runway will be elevated in whole or part |
* | Funding |
* | Environmental impact (including noise level impact on adjacent residential properties) |
The DOA expects to have updates on these subjects later this year.

Any change in the rate of interest hereunder due to a change in the Applicable Interest Rate shall become effective as of the opening of business on the first day on which such change in the Applicable Interest Rate shall become
25
effective. Each determination by Lender of the Applicable Interest Rate shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
(c) In the event that Lender shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower absent manifest error) that by reason of circumstances affecting the interbank Eurodollar market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR, then Lender shall forthwith give notice by telephone of such determination, confirmed in writing, to Borrower at least one (1) day prior to the last day of the related Interest Period. If such notice is given, the related outstanding LIBOR Loan shall be converted, on the last day of the then current Interest Period, to a Prime Rate Loan.
(d) If, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, any portion of the Loan has been converted to a Prime Rate Loan and Lender shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower absent manifest error) that the event(s) or circumstance(s) which resulted in such conversion shall no longer be applicable, Lender shall give notice by telephone of such determination, confirmed in writing, to Borrower at least one (1) day prior to the last day of the related Interest Period.

If any Foreign Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to Lender hereunder, the amounts so payable to Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to Lender (after payment of all Foreign Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rate or in the amounts specified hereunder. Whenever any Foreign Tax is payable pursuant to applicable law by Borrower, as promptly as possible thereafter, Borrower shall send to Lender an original official receipt, if available, or certified copy thereof showing payment of such Foreign Tax. Borrower hereby indemnifies Lender for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by Lender which may result from any failure by Borrower to pay any such Foreign Tax when due to the appropriate taxing authority or any failure by Borrower to remit to Lender the required receipts or other required documentary evidence.

Borrower hereby agrees promptly to pay Lender, upon demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate Lender for any costs incurred by Lender in making any conversion in accordance with this Agreement, including, without limitation, any interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of
26
funds obtained by it in order to make or maintain the LIBOR Loan hereunder. Lender’s notice of such costs, as certified to Borrower, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(g) In the event that any change in any requirement of law or in the interpretation or application thereof, or compliance by Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) hereafter issued from any central bank or other Governmental Authority:
(i) | shall hereafter impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of Lender which is not otherwise included in the determination of LIBOR hereunder; |
(ii) | shall hereafter have the effect of reducing the rate of return on Lender’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which Lender could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration Lender’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by any amount deemed by Lender to be material; or |
(iii) | shall hereafter impose on Lender any other condition and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Lender of making, renewing or maintaining loans or extensions of credit or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder; |
then, in any such case, Borrower shall promptly pay Lender, upon demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate Lender for such additional cost or reduced amount receivable which Lender deems to be material as determined by Lender. If Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.2.3(g), Lender shall provide Borrower with not less than ninety (90) days notice specifying in reasonable detail the event by reason of which it has become so entitled and the additional amount required to fully compensate Lender for such additional cost or reduced amount.

This provision shall survive payment of the Note and the satisfaction of all other obligations of Borrower under this Agreement and the Loan Documents.
(h) Borrower agrees to indemnify Lender and to hold Lender harmless from any loss or expense which Lender sustains or incurs as a consequence of (i) any default by Borrower resulting in a loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain a LIBOR Loan hereunder, (ii) any prepayment (whether voluntary or mandatory) of the LIBOR Loan on a day that is not a Payment Date unless Borrower did not give the prior notice of such prepayment required pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, such loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain the LIBOR Loan hereunder, and (iii) the conversion (if such conversion is caused by any act or omission of
27
Borrower) of the Applicable Interest Rate from LIBOR plus the Spread to the Prime Rate plus the Prime Rate Spread with respect to any portion of the Outstanding Principal Balance then bearing interest at LIBOR plus the Spread on a date other than the Payment Date immediately following the last day of an Interest Period, including, without limitation, such loss or expenses arising from interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain a LIBOR Loan hereunder (the amounts referred to in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) are herein referred to collectively as the “Breakage Costs”); provided, however, Borrower shall not indemnify Lender from any loss or expense arising from Lender’s willful misconduct or gross negligence. This provision shall survive payment of the Note in full and the satisfaction of all other obligations of Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
(i) Lender shall not be entitled to claim compensation pursuant to this Section 2.2.3 for any Foreign Taxes, increased cost or reduction in amounts received or receivable hereunder, or any reduced rate of return, which was incurred or which accrued more than ninety (90) days before the date Lender notified Borrower of the change in law or other circumstance on which such claim of compensation is based and delivered to Borrower a written statement setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for calculating the additional amounts owed to Lender under this Section 2.2.3, which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error.
2.2.4 Additional Costs. Lender will use reasonable efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions) to maintain the availability of the LIBOR Loan and to avoid or reduce any increased or additional costs payable by Borrower under Section 2.2.3, including, if requested by Borrower, a transfer or assignment of the Loan to a branch, office or Affiliate of Lender in another jurisdiction, or a redesignation of its lending office with respect to the Loan, in order to maintain the availability of the LIBOR Loan or to avoid or reduce such increased or additional costs, provided that the transfer or assignment or redesignation (a) would not result in any additional costs, expenses or risk to Lender that are not reimbursed by Borrower and (b) would not be disadvantageous in any other respect to Lender as determined by Lender in its sole discretion.
2.2.5 Default Rate. In the event that, and for so long as, any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Outstanding Principal Balance and, to the extent permitted by law, all accrued and unpaid interest in respect of the Loan and any other amounts due pursuant to the Loan Documents, shall accrue interest at the Default Rate, calculated from the date such payment was due without regard to any grace or cure periods contained herein.
2.2.6 Usury Savings. This Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents are subject to the express condition that at no time shall Borrower be obligated or required to pay interest on the principal balance of the Loan at a rate which could subject Lender to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate. If, by the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the principal balance due hereunder at a rate in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate, the 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
28
use, forbearance, or detention of the sums due under the Loan, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of the Loan until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Loan does not exceed the Maximum Legal Rate of interest from time to time in effect and applicable to the Loan for so long as the Loan is outstanding.

Each interest accrual period thereafter shall commence on the ninth (9th) day of each calendar month during the term of the Loan and shall end on and include the eighth (8th) day of the next occurring calendar month. For purposes of making payments hereunder, but not for purposes of calculating interest accrual periods, if the day on which such payment is due is not a Business Day, then amounts due on such date shall be due on
30
the immediately preceding Business Day. With respect to payments of principal due on the Maturity Date, interest shall be payable at the Applicable Interest Rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, through and including the day immediately preceding such Maturity Date. All amounts due pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be payable without setoff, counterclaim, defense or any other deduction whatsoever.

2.3.3 Late Payment Charge. If any principal, interest or any other sums due under the Loan Documents, excluding the payment of principal due on the Maturity Date, is not paid by Borrower by the date on which it is due, Borrower shall pay to Lender upon demand an amount equal to the lesser of (a) two percent (2%) of such unpaid sum, and (b) 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; provided, however, that with respect to two (2) delinquent payments during the term of the Loan, as the same may be extended, no such late charge shall be payable provided such payment is made within five (5) days after the due date therefor and interest on such delinquent payments shall accrue at the Applicable Interest Rate calculated from the date such payment was due. Any such amount shall be secured by the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents to the extent permitted by applicable law.
2.3.4 Method and Place of Payment. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all payments and prepayments under this Agreement and the Note shall be made to Lender not later than 1:00 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 Lender’s office or as otherwise directed by Lender, and any funds received by Lender after such time shall, for all purposes hereof, be deemed to have been paid on the next succeeding Business Day.

31
(b) Notwithstanding the terms of clause (ii) of Section 2.4.1(a) above, the Loan may be prepaid in whole only (but not in part) if the Property is sold in a bona fide arms-length, all-cash sale to a Person which is not a Related Party, provided, that:
(i) | the Borrower complies with the terms of Section 2.4.1(a) above (excluding clause (ii) thereof) in respect of such prepayment; |
(ii) | the amount of such prepayment shall equal the Adjusted Release Amount; |
(iii) | no Release Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing hereunder or under any other Loan Document; |

Such release shall be in a form appropriate in the jurisdiction in which the Property is located and that would be satisfactory to a prudent lender; and |
(vii) | Borrower shall have delivered to Lender an Officer’s Certificate in form reasonably acceptable to Lender certifying that no Release Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing hereunder, under the Other Loan Documents or under the Other Borrower Loan Documents. |

32
2.4.2 Mandatory Prepayments. On the next occurring Payment Date following the date on which Lender actually receives any Net Proceeds, if Lender is not obligated to make such Net Proceeds available to Borrower for Restoration, Borrower shall prepay, or authorize Lender to apply Net Proceeds as a prepayment of, the Outstanding Principal Balance in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of such Net Proceeds. So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no Prepayment Premium shall be due in connection with any prepayment made pursuant to this Section 2.4.2 (such fee being expressly waived).
2.4.3 Prepayments After Default. If after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, payment of all or any part of the Debt is tendered by Borrower or otherwise recovered by Lender (including through application of any Reserve Funds), such tender or recovery shall be deemed (a) to have been made on the next occurring Payment Date together with the Monthly Interest Payment, and (b) to be a voluntary prepayment by Borrower and Borrower shall pay, in addition to the Debt, an amount equal to the greater of (i) five percent (5%) of the Outstanding Principal Balance or the portion thereof being prepaid or satisfied, and (ii) the Prepayment Premium, if any.
Section 2.5 Release of Property. (a) Except as set forth in this Section 2.5, no repayment or prepayment of all or any portion of the Loan shall cause, give rise to a right to require, or otherwise result in, the release of the Liens of the Mortgage or the Second Mortgage.
(b) Lender shall promptly, upon the written request and at the sole cost and expense of Borrower, upon payment in full of all of the Debt in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Note, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and subject to and upon compliance with the terms of Section 2.4.1(b) hereof, release the Lien of the Mortgage and the Second Mortgage on the Property.

2.6.5 Application After Event of Default. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.6, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender, at its option, may withdraw the Reserve Funds and any other funds of Borrower then in the possession of Lender, Servicer or Property Account Bank and apply such funds to the items for which the Reserve Funds were established or to the payment of the Obligations and the Other Borrower Obligations in such order, proportion and priority as Lender may determine in its sole discretion.

Borrower is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction where it is required to be so qualified in connection with its properties, businesses and operations. Borrower possesses all rights, licenses, permits and authorizations, governmental or otherwise, necessary to entitle it to own its properties and to transact the businesses in which it is now engaged, and the sole business of Borrower is the ownership, management and operation of the Property.

4.1.2 Proceedings. Borrower has taken all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents have been duly executed and delivered by or on behalf of Borrower and constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of Borrower
43
enforceable against Borrower in accordance with their respective terms, subject only to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting rights of creditors generally, and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law).
4.1.3 No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by any Significant Party, as applicable, 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 pursuant to the terms of any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, partnership agreement, management agreement or other agreement or instrument to which Borrower is a party or by which any of Borrower’s property or assets is subject, nor will such action result in any violation of the provisions of any statute or any order, rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over Borrower or any of Borrower’s properties or assets, and any consent, approval, authorization, order, registration or qualification of or with any such Governmental Authority required for the execution, delivery and performance by any Significant Party, as applicable, of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents has been obtained and is in full force and effect.
4.1.4 Litigation. There are no actions, suits or proceedings at law or in equity by or before any Governmental Authority or other agency now pending or, to Borrower’s knowledge, threatened against or affecting any Significant Party or the Property, which actions, suits or proceedings, if determined against such Significant Party or the Property, are reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.
4.1.5 Agreements. Borrower is not a party to any agreement or instrument or subject to any restriction which might materially and adversely affect Borrower or the Property, or Borrower’s business, properties or assets, operations or condition, financial or otherwise. Borrower is not in default in any material respect in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions contained in any agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which Borrower or the Property are bound. Borrower has no material financial obligation under any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement or other agreement or instrument to which Borrower is a party or by which Borrower or the Property is otherwise bound, other than (a) any obligations incurred in the ordinary course of the operation of the Property as permitted pursuant to clause (s) of the definition of “Special Purpose Entity” set forth in Section 1.1 hereof, (b) the obligations under the Loan Documents.
4.1.6 Title. (a) Borrower has good, marketable and insurable fee title to 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. The Permitted Encumbrances in the aggregate do not materially and adversely affect the value, operation or use of the Property (as currently used) or Borrower’s ability to repay the Loan. The Mortgage and the Assignment of Leases, when 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 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
44
personalty (including the Leases), all in accordance with the terms thereof, in each case subject only to any applicable Permitted Encumbrances, such other Liens as are permitted pursuant to the Loan Documents and the Liens created by the Loan Documents. There are no claims for payment for work, labor or materials affecting the Property which are or may become a Lien prior to, or of equal priority with, the Liens created by the Loan Documents.
(b) The Second Mortgage, when properly recorded in the appropriate public records, together with any Uniform Commercial Code financing statements required to be filed in connection therewith, will create (i) a valid, perfected second priority Lien on the Property, subject only to Permitted Encumbrances and the Lien of the Mortgage and (ii) perfected security interests in and to, and perfected collateral assignments of, all Personal Property (including the Leases), all in accordance with the terms thereof, in each case subject only to the Mortgage and any applicable Permitted Encumbrances to the extent that perfection occurs through the recording of a Mortgage or the filing of a financing statement.
4.1.7 Solvency. Borrower has (a) not entered into the transaction contemplated by this Agreement or executed the Note, this Agreement or any other Loan Documents with the actual intent to hinder, delay or defraud any creditor and (b) received reasonably equivalent value in exchange for its obligations under such Loan Documents. After giving effect to the Loan, the fair saleable value of Borrower’s assets exceeds and will, immediately following the making of the Loan, exceed Borrower’s total liabilities, including, without limitation, subordinated, unliquidated, disputed and contingent liabilities. The fair saleable value of Borrower’s assets is and will, immediately following the making of the Loan, be greater than Borrower’s probable liabilities, including the maximum amount of its contingent liabilities on its debts as such debts become absolute and matured. Borrower’s assets do not and, immediately following the making of the Loan will not, constitute unreasonably small capital to carry out its business as conducted or as proposed to be conducted. Borrower does not intend to, and does not believe that it will, incur debts and liabilities (including contingent liabilities and other commitments) beyond its ability to pay such debts and liabilities as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be received by Borrower and the amounts to be payable on or in respect of the obligations of Borrower). No petition in bankruptcy has been filed against Borrower or any of its constituent Persons, and neither Borrower nor any of its constituent Persons has ever made an assignment for the benefit of creditors or taken advantage of any insolvency act for the benefit of debtors. Neither Borrower nor any of its 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 assets or properties, and Borrower has no knowledge of any Person contemplating the filing of any such petition against it or any of its constituent Persons.
4.1.8 Full and Accurate Disclosure. No statement of fact made by Borrower in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make statements contained herein or therein not misleading. There is no material fact presently known to Borrower which has not been disclosed to Lender which adversely affects, nor as far as Borrower can foresee, might adversely affect, the Property or the business, operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of Borrower.
45

Borrower is not an “employee benefit plan,” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, subject to Title I of ERISA, and none of the assets of Borrower constitutes or will constitute “plan assets” of one or more such plans within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101. In addition, (a) Borrower is not a “governmental plan” within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA, and (b) transactions by or with Borrower are not subject to any state statute regulating investments of, or fiduciary obligations with respect to, governmental plans similar to the provisions of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code currently in effect, which prohibit or otherwise restrict the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
4.1.10 Compliance.

Borrower is not in default or violation of any order, writ, injunction, decree or demand of any Governmental Authority. There has not been committed by Borrower, to Borrower’s knowledge, or any other Person in occupancy of or involved with the operation or use of the Property any act or omission affording any Governmental Authority the right of forfeiture as against the Property or any part thereof or any monies paid in performance of Borrower’s obligations under any of the Loan Documents.

Except for Permitted Encumbrances, Borrower does not have any contingent liabilities, liabilities for taxes, unusual forward or long-term commitments or unrealized or anticipated losses from any unfavorable commitments that are known to Borrower and reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Property or the operation thereof as a hotel, except as referred to or reflected in said financial statements. Since the date of such financial statements, there has been no material adverse change in the financial condition, operation or business of Borrower from that set forth in said financial statements.

4.1.18 Enforceability. The Loan Documents are not subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense by Borrower, Principal or Guarantor, including the defense of usury, nor would the operation of any of the terms of the Loan Documents, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render the Loan Documents unenforceable (subject to principles of equity and bankruptcy, insolvency and other laws generally affecting creditors’ rights and the enforcement of debtors’ obligations), and Borrower, Principal and Guarantor have not asserted any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense with respect thereto.

Other than as disclosed in the “Engineering Report,” there exists no structural or other material defects or damages in the Property, whether latent or otherwise, and Borrower has not received notice from any insurance company or bonding company of any defects or inadequacies in the Property, or any part thereof, which would adversely affect the insurability of the same or cause the imposition of extraordinary premiums or charges thereon or of any termination or threatened termination of any policy of insurance or bond.
4.1.25 Boundaries. All of the Improvements which were included in determining the appraised value of the Property lie wholly within the boundaries and building restriction lines of the Property, and no improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon the Property, and no easements or other encumbrances upon the Property encroach upon any of the Improvements, so as to affect the value or marketability of the Property except those which are insured against by the Title Insurance Policy.

BORROWER COVENANTS
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, Borrower hereby covenants and agrees with Lender that:
5.1.1 Existence; Compliance with Legal Requirements. Borrower 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 and the Property. There shall never be committed by Borrower, and Borrower shall not permit any other Person in occupancy of or involved with the 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
51
Documents. Borrower hereby covenants and agrees not to commit, permit or suffer to exist any act or omission affording such right of forfeiture. Borrower shall at all times reasonably maintain, preserve and protect all material franchises and material trade names, preserve all the remainder of its property used or useful in the conduct of its business, and shall keep the Property in reasonably 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 Mortgage. Borrower 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 notice to Lender, Borrower, 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 Borrower or the Property or any alleged violation of any Legal Requirement, provided, that: (a) no Release Default or Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured; (b) Borrower is permitted to do so under the provisions of any mortgage or deed of trust superior in lien to the Mortgage; (c) such proceeding shall be permitted under and be conducted in accordance with the provisions of any instrument to which Borrower is subject and shall not constitute a default thereunder and such proceeding shall be conducted in accordance with all applicable statutes, laws and ordinances; (d) neither the Property nor any part thereof or interest therein will be in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost; (e) Borrower shall, upon final determination thereof, promptly comply with any such Legal Requirement determined to be valid or applicable or cure any violation of any Legal Requirement; (f) such proceeding shall suspend the enforcement of the contested Legal Requirement against Borrower and/or the Property; and (g) Borrower 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 imminent danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost.
5.1.2 Taxes and Other Charges. Borrower 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 obligation to directly pay Taxes shall be suspended for so long as adequate reserves for same are maintained pursuant to Section 7.2 hereof. Borrower shall furnish to Lender receipts for the payment of the Taxes and the Other Charges prior to the date the same shall become delinquent provided, however, Borrower is not required to furnish such receipts for payment of Taxes in the event that such Taxes have been paid by Lender pursuant to Section 7.2 hereof. Borrower shall not suffer and shall promptly cause to be paid and discharged any Lien or charge whatsoever which may be or become a Lien or charge against the Property and that is prohibited in accordance with Section 5.2.2 hereof, and shall pay for all utility services provided to the Property prior to delinquency. After prior notice to Lender, Borrower, 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, Other Charges or other Liens, provided, that: (a) no Release Default or Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured; (b) Borrower is permitted to contest same under the provisions of any mortgage or deed of trust superior in lien
52
to the Mortgage; (c) such proceeding shall be permitted under and be conducted in accordance with the provisions of any other instrument to which Borrower is subject and shall not constitute a default thereunder and such proceeding shall be conducted in accordance with all applicable statutes, laws and ordinances; (d) neither the Property nor any part thereof or interest therein will be in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost; (e) Borrower 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; (f) such proceeding shall suspend the collection of such contested Taxes or Other Charges from the Property; and (g) Borrower 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. Lender may pay over any such other security or part thereof held by Lender to the claimant entitled thereto at any time when, in the judgment of Lender, the entitlement of such claimant is established or the Property (or any 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 or the Second Mortgage being primed by any related Lien.
5.1.3 Litigation. Borrower shall give prompt notice to Lender of any litigation or governmental proceedings pending or threatened in writing against Borrower, Principal and/or Guarantor which is reasonably likely to cause a Material Adverse Effect.

5.2.12 Franchise Provisions.
(a) Lender acknowledges and agrees that, as of the Closing Date, (i) Borrower is indirectly owned in whole by Wyndham; (ii) the Property is operated as a “Wyndham” or “Summerfield Suites” hotel and is not subject to a franchise agreement or other agreement in connection with such operation other than the Management Agreement. Borrower shall obtain the approval of Lender, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed by Lender, before entering into any franchise agreement (the “Franchise Agreement”) with any franchisor (the “Franchisor”) that provides for, or permits, the operation of the Property under such Franchisor’s brand or “flag”. Any Franchise Agreement must include, among other things, rights in the Franchisor’s reservation system and a term of not less than the remaining term of the Loan. Borrower shall deliver to Lender any such Franchise Agreement for Lender’s review and approval.
(b) If Borrower shall enter into any Franchise Agreement, Lender shall receive within thirty (30) days following the execution of such Franchise Agreement a comfort letter from the Franchisor, in which Franchisor shall agree (i) that Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cure any defaults under the Franchise Agreement, (ii) to give Lender written notice of, and a reasonable time to cure, any default of Borrower under the Franchise Agreement; (iii) not to assert against Lender any defaults which by their nature are personal to Borrower and are not curable by Lender; (iv) to allow Lender to change managers of the Property; (v) that, if Lender or its affiliate shall acquire title to the Property, Lender or its affiliate shall have an option to succeed to the interest of Borrower under the Franchise Agreement (or to be granted a new Franchise Agreement on the same terms as the Franchise Agreement) without payment of any fees to Franchisor (other than nominal, processing fees);
67
(vi) that the Franchise Agreement will remain in effect during any foreclosure proceedings by Lender provided Lender cures all monetary defaults under the Franchise Agreement; (vii) not to modify, cancel, surrender or otherwise terminate the Franchise Agreement during the Term without the consent of Lender; and (viii) that if Lender or its Affiliate succeeds to Borrower’s interest under the Franchise Agreement, Lender may assign its rights therein to any entity which acquires the Property from Lender or its Affiliate (subject to Franchisor’s reasonable approval). The foregoing to the contrary notwithstanding, Lender will not unreasonably withhold approval of Franchisor’s standard form of “comfort letter”.
(c) Borrower shall not, and Borrower shall not permit any Affiliate to, modify, cancel, surrender or otherwise terminate the Franchise Agreement during the Term without the consent of Lender, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided that, in connection with a cancellation, surrender or termination, such Franchise Agreement shall be replaced with a substitute franchise agreement reasonably approved by Lender or such other arrangement for the operation of the Property, reasonably approved by Lender. Borrower shall promptly deliver to Lender copies of any notices of default sent or received by or on behalf of Borrower or any of its Affiliates under the Franchise Agreement.
(d) Borrower shall at all times that the Debt is outstanding cause the hotel located on the Property to be operated as (i) a “Wyndham” or a “Summerfield Suites” hotel (or in the name of any successor entity), or (ii) a hotel franchise of a first class, reputable hotel franchise reasonably acceptable to Lender pursuant to a franchise agreement and management agreement reasonably acceptable to Lender.
(e) Borrower 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 Franchise Agreement and do all things necessary to preserve and to keep unimpaired its material rights thereunder; |
(ii) | promptly notify Lender of any default under the Franchise Agreement of which it is aware; |
(iii) | promptly deliver to Lender a copy of each financial statement, business plan, capital expenditures plan, notice, report and estimate received by it under the Franchise Agreement; |

Section 6.1 Insurance.
(a) Borrower shall obtain and maintain, or cause to be maintained, insurance for Borrower and the Property providing at least the following coverages:
(i) | comprehensive all risk insurance on the Improvements and the Personal Property, including contingent liability from Operation of Building Laws, Demolition Costs and Increased Cost of Construction Endorsements, in each case (A) in an amount equal to 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) with a waiver of depreciation, but the amount shall in no event be less than the Outstanding Principal Balance; (B) containing an agreed amount endorsement with respect to the Improvements and Personal Property waiving all co-insurance provisions; (C) for all such insurance coverage, providing for no deductible in excess of One Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($100,000); and (D) containing an “Ordinance or Law Coverage” or “Enforcement” endorsement if any of the Improvements or the use of the Property shall at any time constitute legal non-conforming structures or uses. In addition, Borrower shall obtain: (x) if any portion of the Improvements is currently or at any time in the future located in a federally designated “special flood hazard area”, flood hazard insurance in an amount equal to the lesser of (1) the Outstanding Principal Balance or (2) 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 or such greater amount as Lender shall require; (y) earthquake insurance in amounts and in form and substance satisfactory to Lender in the event the Property is located in an area with a high degree of seismic activity and (z) coastal windstorm insurance in amounts and in form and substance satisfactory to Lender (and with deductibles of 3% of the insured value) in the event the Property is located in any coastal region, provided that the insurance pursuant to clauses (x), (y) and (z) hereof shall be on terms consistent with the comprehensive all risk insurance policy required under this subsection (i). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the insurance coverage required herein is maintained by Wyndham through a blanket policy of insurance and the deductible for such insurance coverage is greater than $100,000.00, Borrower may satisfy the |
69
deductible requirements herein by delivering to Lender a Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the difference between such deductible, as the same may be adjusted during the term of this Loan, as extended, and $100,000.00, and Lender shall, in the event of a casualty, apply such security from time to time if requested to do so by Borrower to pay for any Restoration or, if an Event of Default occurs, such Letter of Credit shall constitute additional collateral for the Loan and Lender may apply such sums as otherwise provided in this Agreement. |
(ii) | commercial general liability insurance, including a broad form comprehensive general liability endorsement and coverages 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 Two Million and No/100 Dollars ($2,000,000) in the aggregate and One Million and No/100 Dollars ($1,000,000) per occurrence (and, if on a blanket policy, containing an “Aggregate Per Location” endorsement); (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) blanket contractual liability for all legal contracts; and (5) contractual liability covering the indemnities contained in Article 8 of the Mortgage to the extent the same is available; |
(iii) | rental loss and/or business income interruption 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) 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 twelve (12) 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; and (D) in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the projected Gross Income from Operations for a period of eighteen (18) months from the date of such Casualty (assuming such Casualty had not occurred) and notwithstanding that the policy may expire at the end of such period. The amount of such business income insurance shall be determined prior to the date hereof and at least once each year thereafter based on Borrower’s reasonable estimate of the Gross Income from Operations for the |
70
succeeding eighteen (18) month period. Nothing set forth in this Agreement 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 the Note and the other Loan Documents except to the extent such amounts are actually paid out of the proceeds of such business income insurance; |
(iv) | 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 covering claims not covered by or under the terms or provisions of the above 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; |
(v) | if the Property includes commercial property, worker’s compensation insurance with respect to any employees of Borrower, as required by any Governmental Authority or Legal Requirement; |
(vi) | comprehensive boiler and machinery insurance, if applicable, in amounts as shall be reasonably required by Lender on terms consistent with the commercial property insurance policy required under subsection (i) above; |

(viii) | motor vehicle liability coverage for all owned and non-owned vehicles, including rented and leased vehicles containing minimum limits per occurrence, including umbrella coverage, of One Million and No/100 Dollars ($1,000,000.00); |
(ix) | if the Property is or becomes a legal “non-conforming” use, ordinance or law coverage and insurance coverage to compensate for the cost of demolition or rebuilding of the undamaged portion of the Property along with any reduced value and the increased cost of construction in amounts as requested by Lender; |
71
(x) | at all times during the term of the Loan, the commercial property and business income insurance required under Sections 6.1(a)(i) and (iii) above shall cover perils of foreign terrorism and acts of foreign terrorism and Borrower shall maintain commercial property and business income insurance for loss resulting from perils and acts of foreign terrorism on terms (including amounts) reasonably acceptable to Lender for so long as such coverage is (A) commercially available and (B) provided that such insurance does not exceed $100,000.00 in the aggregate for the Property and the Other Properties. If the cost of such terrorism insurance exceeds $100,000.00 in the aggregate for the Property and the Other Properties, Borrower shall obtain the maximum amount of acceptable insurance possible for an amount equal to $100,000.00 in the aggregate for the Property and the Other Properties; and |
(xi) | upon sixty (60) days’ 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 properties 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) shall be obtained under valid and enforceable policies (collectively, the “Policies” or in the singular, the “Policy”), 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 authorized to do business in the State and having a claims paying ability rating of “A” or better. The Policies described in Section 6.1(a) (other than those strictly limited to liability protection) shall designate Lender as loss payee. Not less than ten (10) days prior to the expiration dates of the Policies theretofore furnished to Lender, certificates of insurance evidencing the Policies accompanied by evidence satisfactory to Lender of payment of the premiums due thereunder (the “Insurance Premiums”), shall be delivered by Borrower to Lender.
(c) Any blanket insurance Policy shall specifically allocate to the Property the amount of coverage from time to time required hereunder and shall otherwise provide the same protection as would a separate Policy insuring only the Property in compliance with the provisions of Section 6.1(a).
(d) All Policies provided for or contemplated by Section 6.1(a), except for the Policy referenced in Section 6.1(a)(v), shall name Borrower as the insured and Lender (and its affiliates) as the additional insured, as its interests may appear, and in the case of property damage, boiler and machinery, flood and earthquake insurance, shall contain a so-called New York standard non-contributing mortgagee clause in favor of Lender providing that the loss thereunder shall be payable to Lender.
72
(e) All Policies provided for in Section 6.1 shall contain clauses or endorsements to the effect that:
(i) | no act or negligence of Borrower, or anyone acting for Borrower, or of any tenant or other occupant, or failure to comply with the provisions of any Policy, which might otherwise result in a forfeiture of the insurance or any part thereof, shall in any way affect the validity or enforceability of the insurance insofar as Lender is concerned; |
(ii) | the Policies shall not be materially changed (other than to increase the coverage provided thereby) or canceled without at least thirty (30) days’ notice (or ten (10) days’ notice with respect to non-payment) to Lender and any other party named therein as an additional insured; |
(iii) | the issuers thereof shall give notice to Lender if the Policies have not been renewed fifteen (15) days prior to its expiration; and |
(iv) | Lender shall not be liable for any Insurance Premiums thereon or subject to any assessments thereunder. |
(f) If at any time Lender is not in receipt of written evidence that all Policies are in full force and effect, Lender shall give notice (which notice may be oral) thereof to Borrower and Borrower shall within two (2) Business Days of such notice, deliver such written evidence as Lender shall reasonably require that all policies are in full force and effect. If Borrower does not provide Lender with such evidence that all Policies are in full force and effect within two (2) Business Days of Lender’s notice, Lender shall have the right, without further notice to Borrower, 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. 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 shall (a) give prompt notice of such damage to Lender, and (b) promptly commence and diligently prosecute the completion of the Restoration so that the Property resembles, as nearly as possible, the condition the Property was in immediately prior to such Casualty, with such alterations as may be reasonably approved by Lender and otherwise in accordance with Section 6.4. Borrower shall pay all costs of such Restoration whether or not such costs are covered by insurance. Lender may, but shall not be obligated to make proof of loss if not made promptly by Borrower. In addition, Lender may approve (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) any settlement 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 Five Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars
73
($500,000.00) and Borrower shall deliver to Lender all instruments required by Lender to permit such participation.
Section 6.3 Condemnation. Borrower shall promptly give Lender notice of the actual or threatened commencement of any proceeding in respect of Condemnation and shall deliver to Lender copies of any and all papers served in connection with such proceedings. Lender may participate in any such proceedings, and Borrower shall from time to time deliver to Lender all instruments requested by Lender to permit such participation. Borrower shall, at its expense, diligently prosecute any such proceedings, and shall consult with Lender, its attorneys and experts, and cooperate with them in the carrying on or defense of any such proceedings. Notwithstanding any taking by any public or quasi-public authority through Condemnation or otherwise (including, but not limited to, any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of the exercise of such taking), Borrower shall continue to perform the Obligations at the time and in the manner provided in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the Outstanding Principal Balance shall not be reduced until any Award shall have been actually received and applied by Lender, after the deduction of expenses of collection, to the reduction or discharge of the Obligations. Lender shall not be limited to the interest paid on the Award by the applicable Governmental Authority but shall be entitled to receive out of the Award interest at the rate or rates provided herein or in the Note. If the Property or any portion thereof is taken by a Governmental Authority, Borrower shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute Restoration and otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 6.4. If the Property is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Lender of the Award, Lender shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Note shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive the Award, or a portion thereof sufficient to pay the Debt.
Section 6.4 Restoration. The following provisions shall apply in connection with the Restoration:
(a) If the Net Proceeds shall be less than Five Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($500,000.00) and the costs of completing the Restoration shall be less than Five Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($500,000.00), 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) 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.

(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)(iii), if applicable, or (3) by other funds of Borrower;
(E) Lender shall be satisfied that Restoration will be completed on or before the earliest to occur of (1) three (3) months prior to the Maturity Date as the same is extended pursuant to Section 2.7 hereof (and if necessary to satisfy this requirement, the period set forth in Section 2.7 during which Borrower may exercise any option to extend the term of the Loan shall be extended to permit Borrower to exercise such extension option, but in no event more than twelve (12) months prior to the then Maturity Date, (2) such time as may be required under applicable Legal Requirements, or (3) the expiration of the insurance coverage referred to in Section 6.1(a)(iii) unless Borrower has deposited with Lender prior to the commencement of the Restoration sums sufficient after the expiration of such insurance to (x) operate the Property in a manner consistent with the manner in which the Property was operated immediately prior to such Casualty or Condemnation and (y) pay all sums as they become due under the Loan in a timely manner;

(K) the Net Proceeds together with any cash or cash equivalent deposited by Borrower with Lender are sufficient in Lender’s reasonable discretion to cover the cost of Restoration.
(ii) | The Net Proceeds shall be paid directly to Lender for deposit in an interest-bearing account and, until disbursed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4(b), shall constitute additional security for the Debt and the Other Obligations. The Net Proceeds shall be disbursed by Lender to, or as directed by, Borrower from time to time during the course of 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 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; provided, however, Lender shall disburse to, or as directed by, Borrower up to ten percent (10%) of the Net Proceeds received by Lender to fund deposits to contractors, subcontractors and/or materialmen when necessary, to secure timely performance of the Restoration, due to the occurrence of a catastrophic event such as a hurricane or earthquake, upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to Lender that |
76
such deposits are required to be paid. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender shall have no obligation under this paragraph unless and until Net Proceeds have been received by it and Borrower has complied with the provisions of the preceding sentence. |
(iii) | All plans and specifications required in connection with the Restoration shall be subject to prior review and reasonable acceptance in all respects by Lender and by an independent consulting engineer selected by Lender (the “Casualty Consultant”). In connection with the delivery of the plans and specifications to Lender and/or Casualty Consultant by Borrower, if Borrower marks such delivery with a legend marked in not less than fourteen (14) point bold face type, underlined, in all capital letters “ATTACHED PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS DEEMED APPROVED IF NO RESPONSE WITHIN FIFTEEN (15) BUSINESS DAYS”, and Lender and/or the Casualty Consultant fails to respond to the delivery of such plans and specifications within such fifteen (15) Business Day period, Lender shall be deemed to have approved such Plans and Specifications. 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 Restoration including, without limitation, reasonable counsel fees and disbursements and the reasonable Casualty Consultant’s fees, shall be paid by 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 work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, minus the Casualty Retainage. The term “Casualty Retainage” shall mean, as to each contractor, subcontractor or materialman engaged in the Restoration, 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 Restoration has been fifty percent (50%) completed, at which point no additional Retainage shall be required (i.e., upon completion of the Restoration the Retainage shall equal 5% of the cost of the work). The Casualty Retainage shall in no event, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above in this Section 6.4(b), be less than the amount actually held back by Borrower from |
77
contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration. The Casualty Retainage shall not be released until the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that 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 Authorities, and Lender receives evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that the costs of 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, and, provided that the State in which the Property is located is a jurisdiction in which the priority of the Lien of the Mortgage will not be affected by intervening mechanic’s liens, the Lender receives an update to the Title Insurance Policy indicating the continued priority of the Lien of the Mortgage. 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 reasonably estimated by the Casualty Consultant to be incurred in connection with the completion of the Restoration, Borrower shall deposit the deficiency (the “Net Proceeds Deficiency”) with Lender before any further disbursement of the Net Proceeds shall be made. The Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender shall be held by Lender and shall be disbursed for costs actually incurred in connection with the Restoration on the same conditions applicable to the disbursement of the Net Proceeds, and until so disbursed pursuant to this Section 6.4(b) shall constitute additional security for the Debt and the Other Obligations. |
78
(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 Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4(b), and the receipt by Lender of evidence satisfactory to Lender that all costs incurred in connection with the Restoration have been paid in full, shall be remitted by Lender to Borrower, provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and shall be continuing. |
(c) All Net Proceeds not required (i) to be made available for Restoration, or (ii) to be returned to Borrower as excess Net Proceeds pursuant to Section 6.4(b)(vii) may be retained and applied by Lender in accordance with Section 2.4.2 hereof toward the payment of the Outstanding Principal Balance whether or not then due and payable in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall deem proper, or, in the sole 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 sole discretion.
(d) In the event of foreclosure of the Mortgage, or other transfer of title to the Property in extinguishment in whole or in part of the Debt, all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to the Policies that are not blanket Policies then in force concerning 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) Intentionally Omitted.

Section 7.1 Intentionally Omitted.
Section 7.2 Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds. On the date hereof, Borrower shall deposit with Lender $146,666.67 on account of the Taxes next coming due and $33,384.76 on account of the Insurance Premiums next coming due. Additionally, Borrower shall pay to Lender on each Payment Date (a) one-twelfth of the Taxes that Lender estimates will be payable during the next ensuing twelve (12) months in order to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Taxes at least thirty (30) days prior to their respective due dates, and (b) one-twelfth 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 (the foregoing amounts deposited with Lender on the date hereof and in clauses (a) and (b) above are hereinafter called the “Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds”). The Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds and the payment of the monthly Debt Service, shall be added together and shall be paid as an aggregate sum by Borrower to Lender. Lender will apply the Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds to payments of Taxes and Insurance Premiums required to be made by Borrower pursuant to Section 5.1.2 hereof and under the Mortgage. In making any
79
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) 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. If the amount of the Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds shall exceed the amounts due for Taxes and Insurance Premiums pursuant to Section 5.1.2 hereof, Lender shall, following written request by Borrower, promptly return any excess to Borrower. Any amount remaining in the Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds after the Debt has been paid in full shall be returned to Borrower. In allocating such excess, Lender may deal with the Person shown on the records of Lender to be the owner of the Property. If at any time Lender reasonably determines that the Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds are not or will not be sufficient to pay Taxes and Insurance Premiums by the dates set forth in (a) and (b) above, Lender shall notify Borrower of such determination and Borrower shall increase its monthly payments to Lender by the amount that Lender estimates is sufficient to make up the deficiency at least thirty (30) days prior to the due date of the Taxes and/or thirty (30) days prior to expiration of the Policies, as the case may be.
Section 7.3 FF&E Reserve.
7.3.1 FF&E Reserve Funds. Borrower shall deposit with Lender on the Closing Date one-twelfth of the amount of the Approved FF&E Budget (the “FF&E Reserve Deposit”). The amount of the FF&E Reserve Deposit shall be recalculated annually during the term of the Loan, as of January 1 of each year (or as soon thereafter as Gross Income from Operations for the preceding year shall be determined to Lender’s reasonable satisfaction) such that the FF&E Reserve Deposit shall be equal to four (4%) percent of the prior year’s Gross Income from Operations divided by twelve (12). Amounts so deposited shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrower’s “FF&E Reserve Funds” and the account in which such amounts are held shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrower’s “FF&E Reserve Account.” Within thirty (30) days following the end of each calendar quarter, Borrower shall provide to Lender a preliminary report with respect to the expenditures made by or on behalf of Borrower with respect to the Property for FF&E during such calendar quarter. In the event that the lesser of (a) the Approved Annual FF&E Budget for such calendar quarter (provided such Approved Annual FF&E Budget is not less than four (4%) percent of the Gross Income from Operations for such quarter) or (b) four (4%) percent of the actual Gross Income from Operations for such quarter, exceeds the actual expenditures made by Borrower for FF&E for such quarter, Borrower shall deposit an amount equal to any such difference in the FF&E Reserve Account to be held as FF&E Reserve Funds to be disbursed pursuant to the provisions of this Section 7.3. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the amount of any such deposit required to be made by Borrower shall be reduced by the amount of any actual expenditure made by Borrower for any FF&E completed prior to the calendar quarter in which such FF&E was scheduled to be made pursuant to the Approved Annual FF&E Budget. If the actual expenditures made by Borrower for FF&E exceeds the lesser of (x) the Approved Annual FF&E Budget for such calendar quarter (provided such Approved Annual FF&E Budget is not less than four (4%) percent of the Gross Income from Operations for such quarter) or (b) four (4%) percent of the actual Gross Income from Operations for such quarter, Lender shall reimburse Borrower for such excess to the extent that funds are available from the FF&E Reserve Account within fifteen (15) days from Borrower’s request. To the extent there are not sufficient funds in the FF&E Reserve Account to reimburse
80
Borrower for any excess actual expenditures during such calendar quarter, such excess expenditures shall be added to the actual expenditures for the next calendar quarter in the determination of any amounts required to be deposited in the FF&E Reserve Account for such calendar quarter. In lieu of making any required deposits to the FF&E Reserve Account (other than the FF&E Reserve Deposit), Borrower may deliver to Lender a Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the amount that is required to be deposited into the FF&E Reserve Account. Such Letter of Credit shall constitute additional collateral for the Loan and Lender shall have the right to draw down upon such Letter of Credit and apply the proceeds thereof for the purposes set forth in the Approved FF&E Budget if Borrower fails to do so within a reasonable time after notice from Lender, or Lender may apply such sums as otherwise provided in this Agreement following an Event of Default. All earnings or interest on the FF&E Reserve Funds shall be and become part of the FF&E Reserve Funds and shall be disbursed as provided in this Section 7.3.
7.3.2 Disbursements from FF&E Reserve Account. Lender shall make disbursements from the FF&E Reserve Account as provided in Section 7.3.1 following request by Borrower, and, if required by Lender for disbursements in excess of $100,000.00 for a single item, lien waivers and releases from all parties furnishing materials and/or services in connection with the requested payment. Lender may require an inspection of the Property at Borrower’s expense prior to making a monthly disbursement in order to verify completion of replacements and repairs of items in excess of $100,000.00 for which reimbursement is sought.
7.3.3 Balance in the FF&E Account. The insufficiency of any balance in the FF&E Reserve Account shall not relieve Borrower from its obligation to fulfill all preservation and maintenance covenants in the Loan Documents.
Section 7.4 Intentionally Omitted.
Section 7.5 Debt Service Reserve.
7.5.1 Debt Service Reserve Funds. Borrower shall deposit with Lender on the Closing Date the sum of $118,900.00 (the “Debt Service Reserve”). Amounts so deposited shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Debt Service Reserve Funds” and the account in which such amounts are held shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Debt Service Reserve Account.” The Debt Service Reserve will be available for use by Borrower in the event that Net Cash Flow from the Property for any month shall be less than Debt Service for such month. In lieu of making any required deposits to the Debt Service Reserve Account, Borrower may deliver to Lender a Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the amount that is required to be deposited into the Debt Service Reserve Account. All earnings or interest on the Debt Service Reserve Fund shall be and become part of such Debt Service Reserve Fund and shall be disbursed as provided in this Section 7.5.
In the event Net Cash Flow equals or exceeds $8,000,000.00 for the preceding twelve (12) consecutive month period, the Debt Service Reserve Funds will be released to Borrower following Borrower’s written request therefor.
7.5.2 Disbursements from Debt Service Reserve Account. Provided no Release Default or Event of Default exists, Lender shall make disbursements from the Debt Service
81
Reserve Account as requested by Borrower to the extent such funds are available, no more frequently than once in any thirty (30) day period in the event that Net Cash Flow is less than Debt Service for such month.
7.5.3 Balance in the Debt Service Account. The insufficiency of any balance in the Debt Service Reserve Account shall not relieve Borrower from its obligation to pay the Monthly Interest Payment when due hereunder.
Section 7.6 Reserve Funds, Generally.
(a) Borrower grants to Lender a first-priority perfected security interest in all of the Reserve Funds and any and all monies now or hereafter deposited in each Reserve Fund as additional security for the Obligations. Until expended or applied in accordance herewith, the Reserve Funds shall constitute additional security for payment of the Obligations. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender may, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies available to Lender, apply any sums then present in any or all of the Reserve Funds to the reduction of the Outstanding Principal Balance 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.
(b) Borrower shall not, without obtaining the prior consent of Lender, further pledge, assign or grant any security interest in any Reserve Fund or the monies deposited therein or permit any lien or encumbrance to attach thereto, or any levy to be made thereon, or any UCC-1 Financing Statements, except those naming Lender as the secured party, to be filed with respect thereto.
(c) The Reserve Funds shall be held in an Eligible Account and shall bear interest at a money market rate selected by Lender. All interest or other earnings on a Reserve Fund shall be added to and become a part of such Reserve Fund and shall be disbursed in the same manner as other monies deposited in such Reserve Fund. Borrower shall have the right to direct Lender to invest sums on deposit in the Eligible Account in Permitted Investments provided (a) such investments are then regularly offered by Lender for accounts of this size, category and type, (b) such investments are permitted by applicable federal, state and local rules, regulations and laws, (c) the maturity date of the Permitted Investment is not later than the date on which the applicable Reserve Funds are required for payment of an obligation for which such Reserve Fund was created, and (d) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. Borrower shall be responsible for payment of any federal, state or local income or other tax applicable to the interest or income earned on the Reserve Funds. No other investments of the sums on deposit in the Reserve Funds shall be permitted except as set forth in this Section 7.5. Borrower shall bear all reasonable costs associated with the investment of the sums in the account in Permitted Investments. Such costs shall be deducted from the income or earnings on such investment, if any, and to the extent such income or earnings shall not be sufficient to pay such costs, such costs shall be paid by Borrower promptly on demand by Lender. Lender shall have no liability for the rate of return earned or losses incurred on the investment of the sums in Permitted Investments.
82
(d) Borrower shall indemnify Lender and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all actions, suits, claims, demands, liabilities, losses, damages, obligations and costs and expenses (including litigation costs and reasonable attorneys fees and expenses) arising from or in any way connected with the Reserve Funds or the performance of the obligations for which the Reserve Funds were established. Borrower shall assign to Lender all rights and claims Borrower may have against all Persons supplying labor, materials or other services which are to be paid from or secured by the Reserve Funds; provided, however, that Lender may not pursue any such right or claim unless an Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured.
(e) After payment in full of all sums evidenced by the Note and secured by the Mortgage and release or assignment by Lender of the lien of the Mortgage, Lender shall disburse to Borrower all amounts remaining in the Reserves.

Section 8.2 Remedies.
(a) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, all or any one or more of the rights, powers, privileges and other remedies available to Lender against Borrower under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents executed and delivered by, or applicable to,
85
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. Any such actions taken by Lender shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singularly, successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in its sole discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender permitted by law, equity or contract or as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower agrees that if an Event of Default is continuing (i) Lender shall not be 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 Obligations have been paid in full.
(b) Lender shall have the right from time to time to sever the Note and the other Loan Documents into one or more separate notes, mortgages and other security documents (the “Severed Loan Documents”) in such denominations as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion for purposes of evidencing and enforcing its rights and remedies provided hereunder. Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender from time to time, promptly after the request of Lender, a severance agreement and such other documents as Lender shall request in order to effect the severance described in the preceding sentence, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender. Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints Lender as its true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in its name and stead to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect the aforesaid severance, Borrower ratifying all that its said attorney shall do by virtue thereof; provided, however, Lender shall not make or execute any such documents under such power until three (3) days after notice has been given to Borrower by Lender of Lender’s intent to exercise its rights under such power. 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. Further, the Severed Loan Documents shall not contain any representations, warranties or covenants not contained in the Loan Documents and any such representations and warranties contained in the Severed Loan Documents will be given by Borrower only as of the Closing Date.
(c) 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 by Lender in its sole discretion, including 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 and/or 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, Lender may foreclose the Mortgage to recover so much of the Debt as Lender may accelerate and such other sums secured by the Mortgage as Lender may elect. Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, the Property shall remain subject to the Mortgage to secure payment of sums secured by the Mortgage and not previously recovered.
(d) Any amounts recovered from the Property or any other collateral for the Loan after an Event of Default may be applied by Lender toward the payment of any interest
86
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) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing or otherwise impairing or 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, Borrower agrees that if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing Lender shall have the right to immediately draw down in full upon any Letter of Credit delivered by, or on behalf of Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and apply the proceeds of such draw towards 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.
(f) Remedies Cumulative; Waivers. The rights, powers and remedies of Lender under this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which Lender may have against Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or existing at law or in equity or otherwise. Lender’s rights, powers and remedies may be pursued singularly, concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in Lender’s sole discretion. No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of Default shall impair any such remedy, right or power or shall be construed as a waiver thereof, but any such remedy, right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. A waiver of one Default or Event of Default with respect to Borrower shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default by Borrower or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon.

SPECIAL PROVISIONS
Section 9.1 Sale of Note and Securitization. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that Lender may sell all or any portion of the Loan and the Loan Documents, or issue one or more participations therein, or consummate one or more private or public securitizations of rated single- or multi-class securities (the “Securities”) secured by or evidencing ownership interests in all or any portion of the Loan and the Loan Documents or a pool of assets that include the Loan and the Loan Documents (such sales, participations and/or securitizations, collectively, a “Securitization”). At the request of Lender, and to the extent not already required to be provided by Borrower under this Agreement, Borrower shall use reasonable efforts to provide information not in the possession of Lender or which may be reasonably required by Lender in order to satisfy the market standards to which Lender customarily adheres or which may be reasonably required by prospective investors and/or the Rating Agencies in connection with any such Securitization including, without limitation, to:
(a) provide additional and/or updated Provided Information, together with appropriate verification and/or consents related to the Provided Information through letters of auditors or opinions of counsel of independent attorneys reasonably acceptable to Lender and the Rating Agencies;
87

(h) supply to Lender such documentation, financial statements and reports concerning Borrower, Principal, Guarantor, the Loan and/or the Property in form and substance required in order to comply with any applicable securities laws.
All reasonable third party costs and expenses incurred by Borrower or Lender in connection with Borrower’s complying with requests made under this Section 9.1 (including, without limitation, the fees and expenses of the Rating Agencies) shall be paid by Lender.
Section 9.2 Securitization Indemnification.
(a) Borrower understands that certain of the Provided Information may be included in Disclosure Documents in connection with the Securitization and may also be included in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or provided or made available to investors or prospective investors in the Securities, the Rating Agencies, and service providers relating to the

Securitization. In the event that the Disclosure Document is required to be revised prior to the sale of all Securities, Borrower will cooperate with the holder of the Note in updating the Disclosure Document by providing all current information necessary to keep the Disclosure Document accurate and complete in all material respects.
(b) The Indemnifying Persons agree to provide, in connection with the Securitization, an indemnification agreement (i) certifying that (A) the Indemnifying Persons have carefully examined the Disclosure Documents, including, without limitation, the sections entitled “Risk Factors,” “Special Considerations,” “Description of the Mortgages,” “Description of the Mortgage Loans and Mortgaged Property,” “The Manager,” “The Borrower” and “Certain Legal Aspects of the Mortgage Loan,” and (B) such sections and such other information in the Disclosure Documents (to the extent such information relates to or includes any Provided Information or any information regarding the Property, Borrower, Manager and/or the Loan) (collectively with the Provided Information, the “Covered Disclosure Information”) do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, (ii) jointly and severally indemnifying Lender, CSFB (whether or not it is Lender), any Affiliate of CSFB that has filed any registration statement relating to the Securitization or has acted as the sponsor or depositor in connection with the Securitization, any Affiliate of CSFB that acts as an underwriter, placement agent or initial purchaser of Securities issued in the Securitization, any other co-underwriters, co-placement agents or co-initial purchasers of Securities issued in the Securitization, and each of their respective officers, directors, partners, employees, representatives, agents and Affiliates and each Person or entity who controls any such Person within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively, the “Indemnified Persons”), for any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs or expenses (including without limitation legal fees and expenses for enforcement of these obligations (collectively, the “Liabilities”)) to which any such Indemnified Person may become subject insofar as the Liabilities arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Covered Disclosure Information or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state in the Covered Disclosure Information a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements in the Covered Disclosure Information, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and (iii) agreeing to reimburse each Indemnified Person for any legal or other expenses incurred by such Indemnified Person, as they are incurred, in connection with investigating or defending the Liabilities. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which Borrower may otherwise have. Moreover, the indemnification 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, 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
89
other expenses incurred by such Indemnified Persons, as they are incurred, in connection with defending or investigating the Liabilities.
(d) Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person of notice of any claim or the commencement of any action, the Indemnified Person shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any Indemnifying Person, notify such Indemnifying Person in writing of the claim or the commencement of that action; provided, however, that the failure to notify such Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have under the indemnification provisions of this Section 9.2 except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced by such failure and, provided further that the failure to notify such Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to an Indemnified Person otherwise than under the provisions of this Section 9.2. If any such claim or action shall be brought against an Indemnified Person, and it shall notify any Indemnifying Person thereof, such Indemnifying Person shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it wishes, assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person. After notice from any Indemnifying Person to the Indemnified Person of its election to assume the defense of such claim or action, such Indemnifying Person shall not be liable to the Indemnified Person for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Person in connection with the defense thereof except as provided in the following sentence; provided, however, if the defendants in any such action include both an Indemnifying Person, on the one hand, and one or more Indemnified Persons on the other hand, and an Indemnified Person shall have reasonably concluded that there are any legal defenses available to it and/or other Indemnified Persons that are different or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Person, the Indemnified Person or Persons shall have the right to select separate counsel to assert such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such Indemnified Person or Persons. The Indemnified Person shall instruct its counsel to maintain reasonably detailed billing records for fees and disbursements for which such Indemnified Person is seeking reimbursement hereunder and shall submit copies of such detailed billing records to substantiate that such counsel’s fees and disbursements are solely related to the defense of a claim for which the Indemnifying Person is required hereunder to indemnify such Indemnified Person. No Indemnifying Person shall be liable for the expenses of more than one (1) such separate counsel unless any 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 any Indemnifying Person.
(e) Without the prior consent of CSFB (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), 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 CSFB 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 proceeding. 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).
90
(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: (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 (by underwriting discount or otherwise) actually received by the Indemnified Persons in connection with the closing of the Loan or the 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 rights, 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 Obligations.
(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 [RESERVED]
Section 9.4 Exculpation. Subject to the qualifications below, Lender shall not enforce the liability and obligation of Borrower to perform and observe the obligations contained in the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage or the other Loan Documents by any action or proceeding wherein a money judgment shall be sought against Borrower, except that Lender may bring a foreclosure action, an action for specific performance or any other appropriate action or proceeding to enable Lender to enforce and realize upon its interest under the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage, 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 only to the extent of Borrower’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
91
Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, agrees that it shall not xxx for, seek or demand any deficiency judgment against Borrower in any such action or proceeding under, or by reason of, or in connection with, the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage or the other Loan Documents. The provisions of this Section shall not, however, (a) constitute a waiver, release or impairment of any obligation evidenced or secured by any of the Loan Documents; (b) impair the right of Lender to name Borrower as a party defendant in any action or suit for foreclosure and sale under the Mortgage or the Second Mortgage; (c) affect the validity or enforceability of any guaranty or indemnity, including without limitation, the Guaranty, the Borrower Guaranty and/or the Environmental Indemnity, made in connection with the Loan or any of the rights and remedies of Lender thereunder; (d) impair the right of Lender to obtain the appointment of a receiver; (e) impair the enforcement of the Assignment of Leases; (f) constitute a prohibition against Lender to seek a deficiency judgment against Borrower in order to fully realize the security granted by the Mortgage and/or the other Loan Documents or to commence any other appropriate action or proceeding in order for Lender to exercise its remedies against the Property; or (g) constitute a waiver of the right of Lender to enforce the liability and obligation of Borrower, by money judgment or otherwise, to the extent of any actual loss, damage, cost, expense, liability, claim or other obligation incurred by Lender (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs reasonably incurred) arising out of or in connection with the following:
(i) | fraud or intentional misrepresentation by any Significant Party in connection with the Loan, including by reason of any claim under RICO; |
(ii) | the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Borrower; |
(iii) | the breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or indemnification provision in the Environmental Indemnity Agreement or in the Mortgage concerning environmental laws, hazardous substances or asbestos and any indemnification of Lender with respect thereto in either document; |
(iv) | the intentional removal or destruction of any portion of the Property by Borrower or any party acting on behalf of Borrower after an Event of Default; |
(v) | any Legal Requirement (including RICO) mandating the forfeiture by Borrower of the Property, or any portion thereof, because of the conduct or purported conduct of criminal activity by Borrower or any Significant Party in connection therewith; |

92
(vii) | failure to pay, when funds are available from the Property or Reserves, charges for labor or materials or other charges which become Liens on of the Property which were prior to the Lien of the Mortgage; |
(viii) | any security deposits, advance deposits or any other deposits collected with respect to the Property which are not delivered to Lender upon a foreclosure of the Property or action in lieu thereof, except to the extent any such security deposits were applied in accordance with the terms and conditions of any of the Leases prior to the occurrence of the Event of Default that gave rise to such foreclosure or action in lieu thereof; and |
(ix) | failure of Borrower to direct the payment of or, pay any, Rents or other Receipts to the Property Account as required by the Loan Documents; and |
(x) | the failure of Borrower to apply monies disbursed to it from the Cash Management Account (or any sub-account thereof) for the purpose which such disbursement is made. |
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Note or any of the Loan Documents, (A) Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any right which Lender may have under Section 506(a), 506(b), 1111(b) or any other provisions of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code to file a claim for the full amount of the Debt secured by the Mortgage or to require that all collateral shall continue to secure all of the Obligations in accordance with the Loan Documents, and (B) the Debt shall be fully recourse to Borrower (i) in the event of: (a) Borrower filing a voluntary petition under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law; (b) Borrower, or any Person acting on behalf of Borrower, soliciting or causing to be solicited petitioning creditors for any involuntary petition against Borrower from any Person; (c) Borrower filing an answer consenting to or otherwise acquiescing in or joining in any involuntary petition filed against it, by any other Person under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law, or soliciting or causing to be solicited petitioning creditors for any involuntary petition from any Person; (d) Borrower consenting to or acquiescing in or joining in an application for the appointment of a custodian, receiver, trustee, or examiner for Borrower or any portion of the Property; (e) Borrower making an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or admitting, in writing or in any legal proceeding, its insolvency or inability to pay its debts as they become due; (ii) if Borrower fails to maintain its status as a Single Purpose Entity; (iii) if Borrower fails to obtain Lender’s prior consent to any Indebtedness or voluntary Lien encumbering the Property as required by this Agreement or the Mortgage; (iv) if any Restricted Party fails to obtain Lender’s prior consent to any Transfer as required by this Agreement or the Mortgage; or (v) an act or omission of Borrower, Principal, Guarantor or any Affiliate of Borrower, Principal, or Guarantor which hinders, delays or interferes with Lender’s enforcement of its rights hereunder or the realization of the Collateral, including the assertion by Borrower, Principal, Guarantor or such Affiliate of defenses or counterclaims.
93
Further, if any Significant Party fails to provide financial information in accordance with Section 5.1.11 hereof within a reasonable time following request by Lender therefor, Borrower shall pay an amount equal to $10,000 in order to defray the expense incurred by Lender as a result of such delay and to compensate Lender for any losses suffered as a result of such delay.
Section 9.5 Matters Concerning Manager. If (a) the Manager shall become bankrupt or insolvent or (b) a material default occurs under the Management Agreement beyond any applicable grace and cure periods, Borrower shall, at the request of Lender, terminate the Management Agreement and replace the Manager with a Qualified Manager pursuant to a Replacement Management Agreement, it being understood and agreed that the management fee for such replacement manager shall not exceed then prevailing market rates.
Section 9.6 Servicer. At the option of Lender, the Loan may be serviced by a servicer/trustee (the “Servicer”) selected by Lender and Lender may delegate all or any portion of its responsibilities under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to the Servicer pursuant to a servicing agreement (the “Servicing Agreement”) between Lender and Servicer. Borrower shall not be responsible for any set-up fees or any other costs relating to or arising under the Servicing Agreement; including the monthly servicing fee due to the Servicer under the Servicing Agreement.
Section 9.7 Severance of Loan Documents. Lender shall have the right, at any time (whether prior to or after any sale or participation of all or any portion of the Loan), to modify the Loan in order to create one or more senior and subordinate notes (i.e., an A/B or A/B/C structure) and/or one or more additional components of the Note or Notes, reduce the number of components of the Note or Notes, revise the interest rate for each component, reallocate the principal balances of the Notes and/or the components, increase or decrease the monthly debt service payments for each component or eliminate the component structure and/or the multiple note structure of the Loan (including the elimination of the related allocations of principal and interest payments), provided that the Outstanding Principal Balance of all components immediately after the effective date of such modification equals the Outstanding Principal Balance immediately prior to such modification and the weighted average of the interest rates for all components immediately after the effective date of such modification equals the interest rate of the original Note immediately prior to such modification and modify the Cash Management Agreement with respect to the newly created components such that the pricing and marketability of the Securities and the size of each class of Securities and the rating assigned to each such class by the Rating Agencies shall provide the most favorable rating levels and achieve the optimum rating levels for the Loan. Lender shall have the right to modify the Note and/or Notes and any components in accordance with this Section 9.7 and, provided that such modification shall comply with the terms of this Section 9.7, it shall become immediately effective. If requested by Lender, Borrower shall promptly execute an amendment to the Loan Documents to evidence any such modification. In the event Borrower fails to deliver said amendment to Lender within fifteen (15) Business Days after request, Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints Lender as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact (with full power of substitution), coupled with an interest, in its name and stead to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect the aforesaid severance, Borrower ratifying all that its said attorney shall do by virtue thereof; provided, that, Lender shall not make or execute any such documents under such power until three (3) Business Days after notice has been given to Borrower by Lender of Lender’s intent to
94
exercise its rights under such power. Lender shall be obligated to pay any reasonable costs or expenses incurred by Lender or Borrower in connection with the preparation, execution, recording or filing of the Severed Loan Documents. Except as may be required in connection with a securitization, the Severed Loan Documents shall not contain any representations, warranties or covenants not contained in the Loan Documents.
9.8 Mezzanine Loan Option. Lender shall have the right, on or before the date which is one (1) year following the Closing Date, to divide the Loan into two parts (the “Mezzanine Option”): a mortgage loan (the “Mortgage Loan”) and a mezzanine loan (the “Mezzanine Loan”). In such event, Borrower agrees to cause the formation of the Mezzanine Borrower. The principal amount of the Mortgage Loan plus the principal amount of the Mezzanine Loan shall equal the outstanding principal balance of the Loan immediately prior to the creation of the Mortgage Loan and the Mezzanine Loan. In effectuating the foregoing, Mezzanine Lender will make a loan to Mezzanine Borrower; Mezzanine Borrower will contribute the amount of the Mezzanine Loan to Borrower (in its capacity as Borrower under the Mortgage Loan, “Mortgage Borrower”) and Mortgage Borrower will apply the contribution to pay down the Loan to its Mortgage Loan amount. The Mortgage Loan and the Mezzanine Loan will be on the same terms and subject to the same conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Note, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents except as follows:
(a) Lender (in its capacity as the lender under the Mortgage Loan, the “Mortgage Lender”) shall have the right to establish different interest rates and debt service payments for the Mortgage Loan and the Mezzanine Loan and to require the payment of the Mortgage Loan and the Mezzanine Loan in such order of priority as may be designated by Lender; provided, that (i) the total loan amounts for the Mortgage Loan and the Mezzanine Loan shall equal the amount of the Loan immediately prior to the creation of the Mortgage Loan and the Mezzanine Loan, (ii) the weighted average interest rate of the Mortgage Loan and the Mezzanine Loan shall on the date created equal the interest rate which was applicable to the Loan immediately prior to creation of a Mortgage Loan and a Mezzanine Loan and (iii) prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, the debt service payments on the Mortgage Loan note and the Mezzanine Loan note shall equal the debt service payment which are due under the Loan as if no Mezzanine Loan had been created.
(b) Mezzanine Borrower shall be a special purpose, bankruptcy remote entity pursuant to applicable Rating Agency criteria and shall own directly or indirectly one hundred percent (100%) of Mortgage Borrower. The security for the Mezzanine Loan shall be a pledge of one hundred percent (100%) of the direct and indirect ownership interests in Mortgage Borrower.
(c) Mezzanine Borrower and Mortgage Borrower shall cooperate with all reasonable requests of Lender in order to convert the Loan into a Mortgage Loan and a Mezzanine Loan and shall execute and deliver such documents as shall reasonably be required by Lender and any Rating Agency in connection therewith, including, without limitation, the delivery of non-consolidation opinions and the modification of organizational documents and loan documents. In the event Mortgage Borrower and/or Mezzanine Borrower fail to execute and deliver such documents to Lender within five (5) Business Days following such request by Lender, Mortgage Borrower and/or Mezzanine Borrower, as applicable, hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoint
95
Lender as their true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in their name and xxxxx to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect such transactions, Mortgage Borrower and/or Mezzanine Borrower, as applicable, ratifying all that such attorney shall do by virtue thereof. Lender shall pay all costs and expenses in connection with the creation of the Mortgage Loan and the Mezzanine Loan and all requirements relating thereto, including, without limitation, the cost of any UCC lien insurance policy.
(d) It shall be an Event of Default under this Agreement, the Note, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents if Borrower or Mezzanine Borrower fails to comply with any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Section 9.8 after expiration of ten (10) Business Days after notice thereof.

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 hereby expressly waives, and 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.
Section 10.12 Remedies of Borrower. In the event that a claim or adjudication is made that Lender or its agents have acted unreasonably or unreasonably delayed acting in any case
100
where by law or under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Lender or such agent, as the case may be, has an obligation to act reasonably or promptly, Borrower agrees that neither Lender nor its agents shall be liable for any monetary damages, and Borrower’s sole remedies shall be limited to commencing an action seeking injunctive relief or declaratory judgment. The parties hereto agree that any action or proceeding to determine whether Lender has acted reasonably shall be determined by an action seeking declaratory judgment.
Section 10.13 Expenses; Indemnity.
(a) Borrower covenants and agrees to pay or, if Borrower fails to pay, to reimburse, Lender within five (5) days after receipt of notice from Lender for all reasonable third-party, out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by Lender in connection with (i) the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and all the costs of furnishing all opinions by counsel for Borrower (including without limitation any opinions requested by Lender as to any legal matters arising under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents with respect to the Property); (ii) Borrower’s ongoing performance of and compliance with Borrower’s respective agreements and covenants contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on its part to be performed or complied with after the Closing Date, including, without limitation, confirming compliance with environmental and insurance requirements; (iii) Lender’s ongoing performance and compliance with all agreements and conditions contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on its part to be performed or complied with after the Closing Date; (iv) the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and administration of any consents, amendments, waivers or other modifications to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other documents or matters requested by Lender; (v) securing Borrower’s compliance with any requests made pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement; (vi) the filing and recording fees and expenses, title insurance and reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for providing to Lender all required legal opinions, and other similar expenses incurred in creating and perfecting the Liens in favor of Lender pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; (vii) enforcing or preserving any rights, either in response to third party claims or in prosecuting or defending any action or proceeding or other litigation, in each case against, under or affecting Borrower, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Property, or any other security given for the Loan; and (viii) enforcing any obligations of or collecting any payments due from Borrower under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, or with respect to the Property or in connection with any refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided under this Agreement in the nature of a “work-out” or of any insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be liable for the payment of any such costs and expenses to the extent the same arise by reason of the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct of Lender. Any cost and expenses due and payable to Lender may be paid, at Lender’s option, from any amounts in the Property Account.
(b) Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Lender from and against any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for Lender in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding commenced or threatened, whether
101
or not Lender shall be designated a party thereto), that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against Lender in any manner relating to or arising out of (i) any breach by Borrower of its obligations under, or any material misrepresentation by Borrower contained in, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or (ii) the use or intended use of the proceeds of the Loan (collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided, however, that Borrower shall not have any obligation to Lender hereunder to the extent that such Indemnified Liabilities arise from the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct of Lender. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, defend and hold harmless set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it violates any law or public policy, Borrower shall pay the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by Lender.
(c) Borrower covenants and agrees to pay for or, if Borrower fails to pay, to reimburse Lender for, any fees and expenses incurred by any Rating Agency in connection with any Rating Agency review of the Loan, the Loan Documents or any transaction contemplated thereby up to a maximum sum of $20,000.00 or any consent, approval, waiver or confirmation obtained from such Rating Agency pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document and Lender shall be entitled to require payment of such fees and expenses as a condition precedent to the obtaining of any such consent, approval, waiver or confirmation.
Section 10.14 Schedules Incorporated. The Schedules annexed hereto are hereby incorporated herein as a part of this Agreement with the same effect as if set forth in the body hereof.
Section 10.15 Offsets, Counterclaims and Defenses. Any assignee of Lender’s interest in and to this Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents shall take the same free and clear of all offsets, counterclaims or defenses which are unrelated to such documents which Borrower may otherwise have against any assignor of such documents, and no such unrelated counterclaim or defense shall be interposed or asserted by Borrower in any action or proceeding brought by any such assignee upon such documents and any such right to interpose or assert any such unrelated offset, counterclaim or defense in any such action or proceeding is hereby expressly waived by Borrower.
Section 10.16 No Joint Venture or Partnership; No Third Party Beneficiaries.
(a) Borrower and Lender intend that the relationships created hereunder and under the other Loan Documents be solely that of borrower and lender. Nothing herein or therein is intended to create a joint venture, partnership, tenancy-in-common, or joint tenancy relationship between Borrower and Lender nor to grant Lender any interest in the Property other than that of mortgagee, beneficiary or lender.
(b) This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are solely for the benefit of Lender and Borrower and nothing contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to confer upon anyone other than Lender and Borrower any right to insist upon or to enforce the performance or observance of any of the obligations contained herein or therein. All conditions to the obligations of Lender to make the Loan hereunder are imposed solely and
102
exclusively for the benefit of Lender and no other Person shall have standing to require satisfaction of such conditions in accordance with their terms or be entitled to assume that Lender will refuse to make the Loan (or any disbursement of Reserve Funds) in the absence of strict compliance with any or all thereof and no other Person shall under any circumstances be deemed to be a beneficiary of such conditions, any or all of which may be freely waived in whole or in part by Lender if, in Lender’s sole discretion, Lender deems it advisable or desirable to do so.
Section 10.17 Publicity. Except as may be otherwise required by the requirements of the New York Stock Exchange and/or any other securities laws, all news releases, publicity or advertising by Borrower or their Affiliates through any media intended to reach the general public which refers to the Loan Documents or the financing evidenced by the Loan Documents, to Lender, CSFB, or any of their Affiliates shall be subject to the prior approval of Lender.
Section 10.18 Waiver of Marshalling of Assets. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives all rights to a marshalling of the assets of Borrower, Borrower’s partners and others with interests in Borrower, and of the Property, or to a sale in inverse order of alienation in the event of foreclosure of the Mortgage, and agrees not to assert any right under any laws pertaining to the marshalling of assets, the sale in inverse order of alienation, homestead exemption, the administration of estates of decedents, or any other matters whatsoever to defeat, reduce or affect the right of Lender under the Loan Documents to a sale of the Property for the collection of the Debt and/or the Other Borrower Obligations without any prior or different resort for collection or of the right of Lender to the payment of the Debt and/or the Other Borrower Obligations out of the net proceeds of the Property in preference to every other claimant whatsoever.
Section 10.19 Waiver of Offsets/Defenses/Counterclaims. Borrower hereby waives the right to assert a counterclaim, other than a compulsory counterclaim, in any action or proceeding brought against it by Lender or its agents or otherwise to offset any Obligations under the Loan Documents. No failure by Lender to perform any of its obligations hereunder shall be a valid defense to, or result in any offset against, any payments which Borrower is obligated to make under any of the Loan Documents.
Section 10.20 Conflict; Construction of Documents; Reliance. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Agreement shall control. The parties hereto acknowledge that they were represented by competent counsel in connection with the negotiation, drafting and execution of the Loan Documents and that such Loan Documents shall not be subject to the principle of construing their meaning against the party which drafted same. Borrower acknowledges that, with respect to the Loan, Borrower shall rely solely on its own judgment and advisors in entering into the Loan without relying in any manner on any statements, representations or recommendations of Lender or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender. Lender shall not be subject to any limitation whatsoever in the exercise of any rights or remedies available to it under any of the Loan Documents or any other agreements or instruments which govern the Loan or the Other Loans by virtue of the ownership by it or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender of any equity interest any of them may acquire in Borrower, and Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to raise any defense or take any action on the basis of the foregoing with respect
103
to Lender’s exercise of any such rights or remedies. Borrower acknowledges that Lender engages in the business of real estate financings and other real estate transactions and investments which may be viewed as adverse to or competitive with the business of Borrower or its Affiliates.
Section 10.21 Brokers and Financial Advisors. Borrower hereby represents that it has dealt with no financial advisors, brokers, underwriters, placement agents, agents or finders in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, costs and expenses of any kind (including Lender’s attorneys’ fees and expenses) in any way relating to or arising from a claim by any Person that such Person acted on behalf of Borrower or Lender in connection with the transactions contemplated herein. The provisions of this Section 10.21 shall survive the expiration and termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Debt.
Section 10.22 Prior Agreements. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents contain the entire agreement of the parties hereto and thereto in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and all prior agreements among or between such parties, whether oral or written, between Borrower and Lender are superseded by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
