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.

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).

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.
27
(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, 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.
(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, to pay Lender, upon thirty days (30) written demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate Lender for any reasonable and actual out-of-pocket 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.
28
(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 reasonably deemed by Lender in good faith 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 reasonably deemed by Lender in good faith to be material;
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 in payment of the principal of or interest on a LIBOR Loan, including, without limitation, any such 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 (A) is not the Payment Date immediately following the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto, or (B) is the Payment Date immediately following the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto if 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 (for any reason whatsoever, whether voluntary or involuntary) 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 Loan then bearing interest at LIBOR plus the
29
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 the preceding clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) are herein referred to collectively as the “Breakage Costs”); provided, however, that 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 material respect to Lender as determined by Lender in its reasonable 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 Outstanding Principal Balance 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 Outstanding Principal Balance 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
30
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) Prior to or contemporaneously with the Closing Date, 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 Mezzanine Cash Management 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 Collateral is transferred by secured party sale or otherwise, (iv) shall be for a period equal to the term of the Loan, and (v) shall have an initial notional amount equal to the original 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 Mezzanine Cash Management 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 Mezzanine Cash Management Account or if the Mezzanine Cash Management Account is not then required to be in effect, into such account as specified by Lender. 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 (i) Borrower exercises the Extension Option, or (ii) Lender notifies Borrower that the Counterparty no longer qualifies as an Acceptable Counterparty, Borrower shall replace (or supplement, as applicable), or shall cause the Counterparty to replace or supplement, the Interest Rate Cap Agreement with a Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement with a LIBOR strike price equal to the Strike Price (x) which Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement shall extend the maturity date set forth in the Interest Rate Cap Agreement to the Fixed Maturity Date (with respect to the foregoing clause (i)) prior to or on the commencement of the Extension Term, or (y) not later than thirty (30) days following receipt of notice from Lender that the Counterparty no longer qualifies as an Acceptable Counterparty with respect to the foregoing clause (ii). With respect to each Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement, Borrower shall deliver to Lender a Collateral Assignment of Interest Rate Cap Agreement in a form comparable to the Collateral Assignment of Interest Rate Cap Agreement entered into by Borrower as of the date of this Agreement and that has been acknowledged by the Acceptable Counterparty providing the Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement.
31
(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
(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 Payments.

For purposes of making payments hereunder, but not for purposes of calculating Interest Periods, if the day on which such payment
32
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 the Maturity Date. All amounts pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be payable without setoff, counterclaim, defense or any other deduction whatsoever.

Each such payment shall be made concurrently with the delivery of Lender’s consent to the sale such Residential Unit. In addition, if Mortgage Borrower is entitled to retain the escrow deposit or receives any other monies from a Contract Vendee of a Residential Unit who defaults under its purchase agreement with respect thereto, the entire amount of all such deposits and other monies shall be deemed to be held by Mortgage Borrower in trust for (A) Mortgage Lender if the Mortgage Loan is outstanding, and Borrower shall immediately pay to Lender the portion of such amounts required to be paid to Lender for application to the Outstanding Principal Balance pursuant to Section 2.3.2 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement or (B) Lender if the Mortgage Loan is paid in full, and such amounts shall be immediately remitted to Lender and applied to the Outstanding Principal Balance. If Borrower makes any principal payments pursuant to this Section 2.3.2, Borrower shall also pay to Lender interest at the Applicable Interest Rate on the amount of the Loan so paid through, but not including, the next succeeding Payment Date.
(b) All payments to Lender on account of the Outstanding Principal Balance pursuant to this Section 2.3.2 shall be applied to the last payments of principal due under the Loan.

2.3.5 Late Payment Charge. If any principal, interest or any other sums due under the Loan Documents (other than 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) five percent (5%) 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. Any such late payment charge shall be secured by the Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents to the extent permitted by applicable law.
33
2.3.6 Administrative Charge. After the Mortgage Loan has been paid in full, on the first Payment Date following each anniversary of the Closing Date, Borrower shall pay to Lender a fee in the amount of $2,000.

Any prepayments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.4.2 hereof shall be deemed to have been timely made for the purposes of this Section 2.3.7.
Section 2.4 Prepayments.
2.4.1 Voluntary Prepayments. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Outstanding Principal Balance may not be prepaid in whole or in part prior to the Lockout Release Date. On any Payment Date occurring on or after the Lockout Release Date, and provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and that the Mortgage Loan is paid in full, Borrower may elect to prepay the Loan, in whole or in part, provided that, and with respect to any prepayment (a) Borrower has given Lender written notice of such prepayment not more than forty-five (45) days and not less than thirty (30) days prior to the date of such prepayment, and (b) such prepayment is accompanied by all interest accrued on the amount so prepaid and all other fees and other sums due hereunder and under the other Loan Documents up to and including the date of prepayment, if any; provided further, however, in the event that any prepayment occurs on a day other than a Payment Date, Borrower shall also pay to Lender interest at the Applicable Interest Rate on the amount so prepaid through, but not including, the next succeeding Payment Date. Any voluntary partial prepayments in accordance with this Section 2.4.1 shall be in the minimum amount of $500,000.00. This Section 2.4.1 shall not apply to principal payments made pursuant to Section 2.3.2(a) upon the sale of Residential Units at the Property.

34
Any prepayment received by Lender pursuant to this Section 2.4.4(a) on a date other than a Payment Date shall be held by Lender as collateral security for the Loan in an interest bearing account, with such interest accruing to the benefit of Borrower, and shall be applied by Lender to the Outstanding Principal Balance on the next Payment Date.

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, Mortgage Borrower, General Partner, Principal, Guarantor, or any of Borrower’s constituent Persons, and neither Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, General Partner, Principal, Guarantor, nor any of Borrower’s 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, Mortgage Borrower, General Partner, Principal, Guarantor nor any of Borrower’s constituent Persons are contemplating either the filing of a petition by it under any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency laws or the liquidation of all or a major portion of Borrower’s or Guarantor’s assets or properties, and Borrower has no knowledge of any Person contemplating the filing of any such petition against Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, General Partner, Principal, Guarantor, or any of Borrower’s 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 or in the Provided Information contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make
47
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 Collateral or the Property or the business, operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, General Partner, Principal or Guarantor.

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.

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 materially adverse effect on Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, the Collateral or the Property (and/or Guarantor, as applicable) or the operation of the Property for its Intended Use, except as referred to or reflected in said financial statements.

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. 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 at least thirty (30) days prior to their respective due dates and Insurance Premiums at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Policies, Lender shall notify Borrower of such determination and Borrower shall deposit with Lender within ten (10) days thereafter the amount of such deficiency determined by Lender.
7.1.1 Waiver of Tax Escrow. Borrower shall be relieved of its obligation to make deposits of Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund under Section 7.1 above, provided that (a) Mortgage Borrower is required to and does make monthly deposits to a tax escrow account under the Mortgage Loan, and (b) Lender receives evidence acceptable to it of the making of such deposits and of the payment of all such Taxes.
Section 7.2 Interest Reserve.
7.2.1 Deposit of Interest Reserve Funds. On the Closing Date, Borrower shall deposit with Lender the amount of $811,030.27 for the purpose of establishing a reserve fund to pay Debt Service that will be due and payable by Borrower under this Agreement and the Note during the initial term of the Loan. The foregoing amounts shall be deposited on the date hereof and on each Payment Date in an account established to hold such funds pursuant to the Mezzanine Cash Management Agreement (the “Interest Reserve Account”). Amounts deposited from time to time in the Interest Reserve Account pursuant to this Section 7.2.1 are referred to herein as the “Interest Reserve Funds” and shall be disbursed to fund the Monthly Interest Payments from time to time in accordance with Section 7.2.2 hereof.
81
7.2.2 Release of Interest Reserve Funds. So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, subject to Section 7.2.3 below, if on any Payment Date, commencing on December 9, 2005 and continuing thereafter through and including the Maturity Date, the funds available in the Mezzanine Cash Management Account to pay the Monthly Interest Payment due on such Payment Date pursuant to Sections 2.6.4(a)(ii) or 2.6.4(b)(iii) hereof are not sufficient to pay the full amount of the Monthly Interest Payment then due, Lender shall, without the necessity of notifying Borrower, disburse a portion of the Interest Reserve Funds on such Payment Date in an amount equal to such deficiency, and the same shall be applied to payment of the Monthly Interest Payment then due pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Borrower agrees and acknowledges that neither the insufficiency of the amount of, nor the unavailability of, the Interest Reserve Funds is intended to, and shall therefore not, constitute a limitation on the obligation of Borrower to pay the Monthly Interest Payments under this Agreement. Borrower shall promptly upon the demand of Lender make additional deposits to the Interest Reserve Account as Lender may from time to time require in order to ensure the availability of sufficient funds in the Interest Reserve Account to pay the Monthly Interest Payments coming due under the Loan. Upon full payment of the Debt in accordance with the Loan Documents, the balance of the Interest Reserve Funds then in Lender’s possession, if any, shall be paid over to Borrower and no other party shall have any right or claim thereto.
7.2.3 Minimum Balance. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 7.2 to the contrary, the Interest Reserve Funds on deposit in the Interest Reserve Account shall at all times be in an amount at least equal to $93,000 (the “Minimum Balance”), and if at any time the balance of the Interest Reserve Funds contained in the Interest Reserve Account shall be equal to or less than the Minimum Balance, Lender shall cease making disbursements of Interest Reserve Funds as contemplated by Section 7.2.2 above until the date on which additional funds have been deposited into the Interest Reserve Account so that the balance thereof exceeds the Minimum Balance whereupon Lender shall resume making such disbursements (provided that the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.2.3 shall be applicable if the balance in the Interest Reserve Account is again reduced to the Minimum Balance).
7.2.4 Payment Obligation. 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 required to be paid by Borrower hereunder shall be deemed satisfied to the extent sufficient amounts in excess of the Minimum Balance are contained in the Interest Reserve 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.
Section 7.3 Conversion Work Reserve.
7.3.1 Deposits to Conversion Work Reserve. Borrower shall perform the work at the Property to effectuate the Condominium Conversion as set forth in the Conversion Work Budget and Schedule and in any plans, specifications, engineering and other professional reports and any architect’s, engineer’s, construction and other material agreements relating thereto submitted to and approved by Lender in its reasonable discretion (the “Conversion Plans and Specifications”) so that the Property contains a total of 450 individual Residential Units, comprising approximately 431,712 net saleable square feet (excluding balconies and/or patios
82

Subject to Section 7.3.5 hereof, on the Closing Date, Borrower shall deposit with Lender the amount of $8,037,641.00 to perform the Conversion Work (the “Conversion Work Reserve Funds”), which Conversion Work Reserve Funds shall be deposited into an account established to hold such funds pursuant to the Mezzanine Cash Management Agreement (the “Conversion Work Reserve Account”). If at any time Lender reasonably determines that the Conversion Work Reserve Funds are not or will not be sufficient to pay the cost of completing all of the Conversion Work, Lender shall notify Borrower of such determination and Borrower shall deposit with Lender within ten (10) days thereafter the amount of such deficiency determined by Lender.
7.3.2 Release of Conversion Work Reserve Funds.

83
disbursement to Borrower. Lender shall not be required to disburse Conversion Work Reserve Funds more frequently than once each calendar month, on the same day of such month as any other Reserve Funds are being disbursed in accordance with the terms hereof, and the aggregate funding of Reserve Funds in any month shall equal or exceed the Minimum Disbursement Amount.

Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower to cause all contractors and subcontractors to cooperate with Lender or Lender’s representatives or such other Persons described above in connection with inspections described in this Section 7.3.2(c).
(d) If a disbursement of Conversion Work Reserve Funds will exceed $40,000.00, Lender may require an inspection of the Property at Borrower’s expense prior to making a disbursement of Conversion Work Reserve Funds in order to verify completion of the Conversion Work 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 Conversion Work Reserve Funds. Borrower shall pay the expense of the inspection as required hereunder, whether such inspection is conducted by Lender or by an independent qualified professional architect or other agent of Lender.

84
7.3.3 Conversion Retainage. In no event shall Lender be obligated to release from the Conversion Work Reserve Fund amounts in excess of an amount equal to the costs actually incurred from time to time for work in place as part of the Conversion Work, minus the Conversion Retainage. The term “Conversion Retainage” shall mean, as to each contractor, subcontractor or materialman engaged in the Conversion Work, an amount equal to the amount actually held back by Mortgage Borrower from contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Conversion Work. The Conversion Retainage shall not be released until all of the Conversion Work including all punch list items, if any, has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and all approvals necessary to effectuate the Condominium Conversion have been obtained from all appropriate Governmental Authorities, and Lender receives evidence satisfactory to Lender that the costs of the Conversion Work have been paid in full or will be paid in full out of the Conversion Retainage and that no party claims or has a right to claim any statutory common law lien arising out of the performance of the Conversion Work or the supplying of labor, material, and/or services in connection therewith; provided, however, that Lender will release the portion of the Conversion Retainage being held with respect to any contractor, subcontractor or materialman engaged in the Conversion Work as of the date upon which (a) such 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, (b) such contractor, subcontractor or materialman delivers the lien waivers and evidence of payment in full of all sums due to such contractor, subcontractor or materialman as may be reasonably requested by Lender, and (c) the conditions for disbursements set forth in this Section 7.3 have been satisfied.

7.3.4 Excess Costs. Subject to Section 7.3.5 hereof, on the Closing Date, Borrower shall deposit with Lender the amount of $9,260.84 for the purpose of establishing a contingency reserve fund to cover (i) cost overruns relating to Hard Costs and/or Soft Costs associated with the Conversion Work, (ii) any additional funds required to fund any of the Reserve Accounts, and (iii) any funds necessary for any work at the Property to effectuate the Condominium Conversion, which work is not accounted for in the Conversion Work Budget and Schedule attached hereto as Exhibit C, but which work is approved by Lender (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld), and is in accordance with the Conversion Plans and Specifications (collectively, the “Contingency Reserve Funds”), which amounts shall be deposited into an account established to hold such funds pursuant to the Mezzanine Cash Management Agreement (the “Contingency Reserve Account”). In the event that (a) the actual Hard Costs and/or Soft Costs associated with the Conversion Work with respect to a Property shall at any time, in the reasonable determination of Lender, exceed any category of the Conversion Work Budget and Schedule, (b) additional amounts are required to fund any of the Reserve Accounts as determined in Lender’s reasonable discretion, or (c) funds are required for the work approved by Lender as referred to in clause (iii) above of this Section 7.3.4 (collectively, the “Excess Costs”), then if no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender, in its reasonable discretion, may (but shall not be obligated to) permit payment of such Excess Costs from the Contingency Reserve
85
Account or permit transfers of the Contingency Reserve Funds to the other Reserve Funds, as applicable, and such transferred amounts shall be disbursed in accordance with the provisions of such respective Reserve Funds as set forth herein. In all other cases, with respect to any Excess Costs that will not be paid from the Contingency Reserve Account, Borrower shall, within ten (10) days after such Excess Costs are incurred but before the delinquency thereof, either: (1) pay the Excess Costs and deliver to Lender evidence supporting such payment; or (2) deposit cash with Lender in an amount equal to the Excess Costs, which cash shall then be disbursed by Lender for payment of the Excess Costs in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. Upon full satisfaction of all Obligations in accordance with the Loan Documents, the balance of the Contingency Reserve Funds then in Lender’s possession, if any, shall be paid over to Borrower and no other party shall have any right or claim thereto.
7.3.5 Waiver of Conversion Work Reserve Funds. Borrower shall be relieved of its obligation to make deposits of Conversion Work Reserve Funds under Section 7.3.1 above and Contingency Reserve Funds under Section 7.3.4 above, provided that (a) Mortgage Borrower is required to and does make deposits to a conversion work reserve account and a contingency reserve account under the Mortgage Loan, and (b) Lender receives evidence acceptable to it of the making of such deposits.

In addition, Lender shall direct the Servicer to transfer Operating Reserve Funds to the Interest Reserve Account upon satisfaction by Borrower of each of the following conditions with respect to each such transfer: (i) Borrower shall submit a request for transfer to Lender at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the date on which Borrower
86
requests such transfer to be made and (ii) Lender shall have received evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that the balance remaining in the Operating Reserve Account after such transfer would be sufficient to fund Mortgage Borrower’s then projected operating expense (taking into account, among other factors, reductions in operating expenses due to decreased occupancy levels at the Property) for the then remaining term of the Loan or such shorter period as approved by Lender in its reasonable discretion. Lender shall not be required to disburse any Operating Reserve Funds more frequently than once each calendar month, in minimum amounts of $5,000.00, and with regard to transfers to the Interest Reserve Account, no more than once during the term of the Loan. Any amount remaining in the Operating Reserve Account after the Debt has been paid in full, and provided no Event of Default shall exist and remain uncured, shall be returned to Borrower.
7.5.3 Waiver of Conversion Work Reserve Funds. Borrower shall be relieved of its obligation to make deposits of Operating Reserve Funds under Section 7.5.1 above, provided that (a) Mortgage Borrower is required to and does make monthly deposits to an operating reserve account under the Mortgage Loan, and (b) Lender receives evidence acceptable to it of the making of such deposits.
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, except that all interest or other earnings on the Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds shall be retained by Lender. Borrower shall have the right to direct Lender to invest sums on deposit in the Eligible Account in Permitted Investments provided that (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
87
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 7.7. 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, without limitation, 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.

Section 8.2 Rights and Remedies of Lender.
8.2.1 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 Collateral and the Collateral has been foreclosed upon, sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Debt or the Obligations have been paid in full. With respect to Borrower and the Collateral, nothing contained herein or in any other Loan Document shall be construed as requiring Lender to resort to any portion of the Collateral for the satisfaction of any of the Debt in any preference or priority to any other portion of the Collateral, and Lender may seek satisfaction out of all of the Collateral or any part thereof, in its absolute discretion in respect of the Debt.
(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, pledges and other security documents (the “Severed Loan Documents”) in such denominations as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion for purposes of evidencing and enforcing its rights and remedies provided hereunder. 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-in-fact, 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
91
its said attorney-in-fact shall do by virtue thereof; provided, however, that 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. Except as may be required in connection with a Securitization pursuant to Section 9.1 hereof, (i) Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any costs or expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, execution, recording or filing of the Severed Loan Documents, and (ii) 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 upon the Collateral in any manner and for any amounts secured by the Pledge Agreement then due and payable as determined by Lender in its sole discretion, including 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 upon the Collateral to recover such delinquent payments, or (ii) in the event Lender elects to accelerate less than the entire Outstanding Principal Balance, Lender may foreclose upon the Collateral to recover so much of the Debt as Lender may accelerate and such other sums secured by the Collateral as Lender may elect. Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, the Collateral shall remain subject to the Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents to secure payment of sums secured by the Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents and not previously recovered.
(d) Any amounts recovered from the Collateral after the occurrence of an Event of Default may be applied by Lender toward the payment of any interest and/or principal of the Loan and/or any other amounts due under the Loan Documents in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall determine.
(e) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender may declare Lenders’ obligations to make disbursements under Section 7.3 above to be terminated, whereupon the same shall terminate, and/or declare all unpaid principal of and accrued interest on the Note, together with all other sums payable under the Loan Documents, to be immediately due and payable, whereupon the same shall become and be immediately due and payable, anything in the Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, and without presentation, protest or further demand or notice of any kind, all of which are expressly hereby waived by Borrower; provided, however, that Lender may make any such disbursements or parts of any such disbursements thereafter without thereby waiving the right to demand payment of the Note, without becoming liable to make any other or further disbursements, and without affecting the validity of or enforceability of the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding and without limiting the generality of the foregoing or anything else to the contrary contained in this Agreement, upon the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default, Lender’s obligations to make any disbursements hereunder shall automatically terminate.
(f) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender may cause the Conversion Work to be completed and may enter upon the Property and construct, equip and complete the Improvements in accordance with the Conversion Plans and Specifications, with such changes therein as Lender may, from time to time, and in its sole discretion, deem
92
appropriate. In connection with any construction of the Improvements undertaken by Lender pursuant to the provisions of this subsection, Lender may:
(i) use any funds of Borrower, including any balance which may be held by Lender as security or in escrow (but excluding any funds in accordance with applicable law such as contract deposits of Unit purchasers or security deposits of tenants);
(ii) employ existing contractors, subcontractors, agents, architects, engineers, and the like, or terminate the same and employ others;
(iii) employ security watchmen to protect the Property;
(iv) make such additions, changes and corrections in the Conversion Plans and Specifications as shall, in the judgment of Lender, be necessary or desirable;
(v) take over and use any and all Personal Property contracted for or purchased by Borrower or Mortgage Borrower , if appropriate, or dispose of the same as Lender sees fit;
(vi) execute all applications and certificates on behalf of Borrower or Mortgage Borrower which may be required by any Governmental Authority or Legal Requirement or contract documents or agreements;
(vii) pay, settle or compromise all existing or future bills and claims which are or may be Liens against all or any portion of the Property, or may be necessary for the completion of the Conversion Work or the clearance of title to the Property, including, without limitation, all Taxes and Assessments;
(viii) complete the marketing and sale of Residential Units, and complete the marketing and leasing of leasable space, if any, in the Improvements, enter into new leases and occupancy agreements of the Residential Units, and modify or amend existing leases and occupancy agreements, all as Lender shall deem to be necessary or desirable;
(ix) prosecute and defend all actions and proceedings in connection with the completion of the Conversion Work or in any other way affecting the Property and take such action and require such performance as Lender deems necessary under any payment and performance bonds; and
(x) take such other action hereunder, or refrain from acting hereunder, as Lender may, in its sole and absolute discretion, from time to time determine, and without any limitation whatsoever, to carry out the intent of this Section 8.2.1.
Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrowers to allow Lender to exercise the foregoing rights and to cooperate with Lender in exercising such rights. Borrower shall be liable to Lender for all costs paid or incurred for the construction, completion and equipping of the Improvements, whether the same shall be paid or incurred pursuant to the provisions of this Section or otherwise, and all payments made or liabilities incurred by Lender hereunder of any kind whatsoever shall be deemed advances made to Borrower under this Agreement and shall be
93
secured by the Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents. In the event Lender takes possession of all or any portion of the Property and assumes control of such construction as aforesaid, Lender shall not be obligated to continue such construction longer than Lender shall see fit and may thereafter, at any time, change any course of action undertaken by it or abandon such construction and decline to make further payments for the account of Borrower, whether or not the Conversion Work shall have been completed. For the purpose of this Section, the construction, equipping and completion of the Property shall be deemed to include any action necessary to cure any Event of Default by Borrower under any of the terms and provisions of any of the Loan Documents.
(g) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender may appoint or seek appointment of a receiver, without notice and without regard to the solvency of Borrower or the adequacy of the security, for the purpose of preserving the Property, preventing waste, and to protect all rights accruing to Lender by virtue of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and expressly to do any further acts as Lender may determine to be necessary to complete the Conversion Work. All expenses incurred in connection with the appointment of such receiver, or in protecting, preserving, or improving the Property, shall be charged against Borrower and shall be secured by the Pledge Agreement and enforced as a Lien against the Collateral.
(h) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender may accelerate maturity of the Note and any other indebtedness of Borrower to Lender, and demand payment of the principal sum due thereunder, with interest, advances, costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses (including those for appellate proceedings), and enforce collection of such payment by foreclosure of the Pledge Agreement or the enforcement of any other collateral, or other appropriate action.
8.2.2 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 require Borrower to restructure the Loan into multiple notes (which may include component notes and/or senior and
94
junior notes) and/or issue one or more participations therein, which restructuring may include reallocation of principal amounts of the Loan or the restructuring of a portion of the Loan into a mezzanine loan to the owners of the equity interests in Borrower, secured by a pledge of such interests, 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 or cause Mortgage Borrower to 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 or its Affiliates to obtain, collect, and deliver information requested or required by Lender or the Rating Agencies;
(c) deliver (i) updated opinions of counsel as to non-consolidation, due execution and enforceability with respect to the Mortgage Borrower, Borrower, General Partner, Principal and their respective Affiliates and the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, a so-called “10b-5” opinion and (ii) revised organizational documents for Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, General Partner or Principal 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 (from commercial tenants), 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 Collateral, Property, Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, General Partner, Principal, Guarantor 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 amendments to the Loan Documents as may be requested by Lender or the Rating Agencies to effect the Securitization and/or deliver one or more new component notes to replace the original Note or modify the original Note to reflect
95
multiple components of the Loan (and such new notes or modified note shall have the same initial weighted average coupon of the original Note, but each such new note or modified note may change the interest rate and amortization of the Loan), and modify the Mortgage Cash Management Agreement and the Mezzanine 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;
(g) if requested by Lender, review any information regarding the Property, the Collateral, Borrower, Guarantor, Mortgage Borrower, General Partner, 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, Mortgage Borrower, General Partner, Principal, Guarantor, the Loan, the Collateral and/or the Property in form and substance required in order to comply with any applicable securities laws.
The costs and expenses incurred by Borrower (and/or Lender) in connection with Borrower’s complying with requests made under this Section 9.1 (including, without limitation, counsel fees and expenses of the Rating Agencies) shall be paid by Borrower.
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 Collateral,” “Description of the Loans and the Properties,” “The Manager,” “The Borrower” and “Certain Legal Aspects of the 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, Mortgage Borrower, General Partner, Principal, Guarantor, 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 therein, in the context of the Covered
96
Disclosure Information and in 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 made by such Indemnifying Persons contained in the Covered Disclosure Information or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission of, or caused by, such Indemnifying Persons 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 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,
97
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, that 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 written 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
98
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 Restructuring of Loan. Lender, without in any way limiting Lender’s other rights hereunder, in its sole and absolute discretion, and at Lender’s sole cost and expense, shall have the right at any time to require Borrower to restructure the Loan into multiple notes (which may include component notes and/or senior and junior notes) and/or to create participation interests in the Loan, which restructuring may include reallocation of principal amounts of the Loan or the restructuring of a portion of the Loan to either the Mortgage Loan or an additional mezzanine loan (the “New Mezzanine Loan”) to the owners of the equity interests in Mortgage Borrower or Borrower, secured by a pledge of such interests, and/or the reallocation of a portion of the Mortgage Loan to the Loan and/or the New Mezzanine Loan or the establishment of different interest rates, floor interest rates and debt service payments for the Loan, the Mortgage Loan and the New Mezzanine Loan and the payment of the Loan, the Mortgage Loan and the New Mezzanine Loan in such order of priority as may be designated by Lender; provided that (i) the total amounts of the Loan, the Mortgage Loan and the New Mezzanine Loan shall equal the amount of the Loan and the Mortgage Loan immediately prior to the restructuring, (ii) except in the case of an Event of Default or Mortgage Loan Event of Default and/or a default under the New Mezzanine Loan, the initial weighted average annual interest rate of the Loan, the Mortgage Loan and the New Mezzanine Loan, if any, shall, at the time of the restructuring, equal the weighted average annual interest rate of the Loan and the Mortgage Loan immediately prior to the restructuring and (iii) except in the case of an Event of Default or Mortgage Loan Event of Default and/or a default under the New Mezzanine Loan, the initial aggregate debt service payments on the Loan, the Mortgage Loan and the New Mezzanine Loan, if any, shall, at the time of the restructuring, equal the aggregate debt service payments that were payable under the Loan and the Mortgage Loan immediately prior to the restructuring. Borrower shall cooperate with all reasonable requests of Lender in order to restructure the Loan and the Mortgage Loan and create a New Mezzanine Loan, if applicable, and shall, upon ten (10) Business Days written notice from Lender, which notice shall include the forms of documents for which Lender is requesting execution and delivery, (A) execute and deliver such documents,
99
including, without limitation in the case of any New Mezzanine Loan, a mezzanine note, a mezzanine loan agreement, a pledge and security agreement, and a mezzanine deposit account agreement, (B) cause Borrower’s counsel to deliver such legal opinions, and (C) create such bankruptcy remote borrower under the New Mezzanine Loan as, in each of the case of clauses (A), (B) and (C) above, shall be reasonably required by Lender or required by any Rating Agency in connection therewith, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender, including, without limitation, the severance of this Agreement, the Mortgage and other Loan Documents if requested. Borrower shall be obligated to pay any costs or expenses incurred by Borrower (and/or Lender) in connection with any such restructuring as set forth in this Section 9.3. In the event Borrower fails to execute and deliver such documents to Lender within ten (10) Business Days following such written notice by Lender, and Lender sends a second notice to Borrower with respect to the delivery of such documents containing a legend clearly marked in not less than fourteen (14) point bold face type, underlined, in all capital letters “POWER OF ATTORNEY IN FAVOR OF LENDER DEEMED EFFECTIVE FOR EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF DOCUMENTS IF NO RESPONSE WITHIN 10 BUSINESS DAYS”, Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints Lender as its true and lawful attorney in fact, coupled with an interest, in its name and stead to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect such transactions, Borrower ratifying all that such attorney shall do by virtue thereof, if Borrower fails to execute and deliver such documents within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of such second notice. It shall be an Event of Default if Borrower fails to comply with any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Section 9.3 after the expiration of ten (10) Business Days after the second notice thereof.
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 Pledge Agreement 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 Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or in the Collateral, 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 Collateral and in any other collateral given to Lender, and Lender, by accepting the Note, this Agreement, the Pledge Agreement 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 Pledge Agreement 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 Pledge Agreement; (c) affect the validity or enforceability of or any guaranty made in connection with the Loan or any of the rights and remedies of Lender thereunder; (d) impair the right of Lender to obtain the appointment of a receiver; (e) constitute a prohibition against Lender to seek a deficiency judgment against Borrower where such action is necessary in order to fully realize the security granted by the Pledge Agreement or to commence any other appropriate action or proceeding in order for Lender to exercise its remedies against the Collateral; or (f) constitute a waiver of the right of Lender to enforce the liability and
100
obligation of Borrower, by money judgment or otherwise, to the extent of any loss, damage, cost, expense, liability, claim or other obligation incurred by Lender (including those resulting from the diminution in value of the Collateral and all attorneys’ fees and costs reasonably incurred) arising out of or in connection with the following:

101
Mortgage Borrower or any Affiliate, officer, director or representative of Borrower or Mortgage Borrower to Mortgage Lender upon a foreclosure of the Property by Mortgage Lender or action in lieu thereof or to Lender upon a foreclosure of the Collateral by Lender, except to the extent any such security deposits were delivered to Mortgage Lender pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Documents or 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;
(k) any failure by Borrower or Mortgage Borrower to pay Taxes, subject to Borrower’s right to contest the same in accordance with the terms hereof;
(l) any failure to obtain and maintain the fully paid for Policies in accordance with Section 6.1 of this Agreement, to the extent available; or

Section 9.6 Servicer. At the option of Lender, the Loan may be serviced by a servicer or 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 be responsible for any reasonable set-up fees or any other initial costs relating to or arising under the Servicing Agreement; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be responsible for payment of the monthly servicing fee due to the Servicer under the Servicing Agreement.

Section 10.10 Preferences.

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.
107
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 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 upon receipt of notice from Lender for all reasonable actual 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 premiums and reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for providing to Lender all required legal opinions and title insurance, 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 Mezzanine Cash Management 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
108
(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 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 consent, approval, waiver or confirmation requested by Borrower and 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 and Exhibits 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
109
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.
Section 10.17 Publicity. 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 or members, as applicable, and others with interests in Borrower, and of the Collateral, or to a sale in inverse order of alienation in the event of foreclosure of the Collateral, 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 Collateral for the collection of the Debt without any prior or different resort for collection or of the right of Lender to the payment of the Debt out of the net proceeds of the Collateral 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 and 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 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
110
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 other than International Mortgage and Equity Advisors (“IMEA”) and that IMEA is not an Affiliate of Borrower. 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, without limitation, 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 10.23 Duplicate Originals, Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of duplicate originals and each duplicate original shall be deemed to be an original. This Assignment may be executed in several counterparts, each of which counterparts shall be deemed an original instrument and all of which together shall constitute a single agreement. The failure of any party hereto to execute this Agreement, or any counterpart hereof, shall not relieve the other signatories from their obligations hereunder.
Section 10.24 Certain Additional Rights of Lender (VCOC). Notwithstanding anything which may be contained in this Agreement to the contrary, Lender shall have:
(a) the right to routinely consult with Borrower’s management regarding the significant business activities and business and financial developments of Borrower, provided, however, that such consultations shall not include discussions of environmental compliance programs or disposal of hazardous substances. Consultation meetings should occur at Lender’s request on a regular basis (no less frequently than quarterly) with Lender having the right to call special meetings at any reasonable times and upon reasonable advance notice;
(b) the right, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, to examine the books and records of Borrower at any time upon reasonable notice;
(c) the right, without restricting any other rights of Lender under this Agreement (including any similar right), to approve any acquisition by Borrower of any other significant property (other than personal property required for the day to day operation of the Property); and
111
(d) the right, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 5.1.11 hereof, to receive monthly, quarterly and year end financial reports, including balance sheets, statements of income, shareholder’s equity and cash flow, a management report and schedules of outstanding indebtedness.
The rights described above may be exercised by any entity that owns and controls, directly or indirectly, substantially all of the interests in Lender.
