Section
2.2 Interest;
Loan Payments; Late Payment Charge.
2.2.1 Payment
of Principal and Interest.
(i) Except as
set forth in Section
2.2.1(ii),
interest shall accrue on the Principal Amount as set forth in the Mezzanine
Note.
(ii) Upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and from and after
the Maturity Date if the entire Principal Amount is not repaid on the Maturity
Date, interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan and, to the
extent permitted by law, overdue interest and other amounts due in respect of
the Loan shall accrue at the Default Rate calculated from the date such payment
was due without regard to any grace or cure periods contained herein. Interest
at the Default Rate shall be computed from the occurrence of the Event of
Default until the actual receipt and collection of the Indebtedness (or that
portion thereof that is then due). To the extent permitted by applicable law,
interest at the Default Rate shall be added to the Indebtedness, shall itself
accrue interest at the same rate as the Loan and shall be secured by this
Agreement and the Pledge. This paragraph shall not be construed as an agreement
or privilege to extend the date of the payment of the Indebtedness, nor as a
waiver of any other right or remedy accruing to
24
Mezzanine
Lender by reason of the occurrence of any Event of Default, and Mezzanine Lender
retains its rights under the Mezzanine Note to accelerate and to continue to
demand payment of the Indebtedness upon the happening of any Event of Default.
2.2.2 Method
and Place of Payment.
(a) On each
Payment Date, Mezzanine Borrower shall pay or cause to be paid to Mezzanine
Lender interest accruing pursuant to the Mezzanine Note for the entire Interest
Period during which said Payment Date shall occur.
(b) All
amounts advanced by Mezzanine Lender pursuant to the applicable provisions of
the Loan Documents (Intermediate Mezzanine), other than the Principal Amount,
together with any interest at the Default Rate or other charges as provided
therein, shall be due and payable hereunder as provided in the Loan Documents
(Intermediate Mezzanine). In the event any such advance or charge is not so
repaid by Mezzanine Borrower, Mezzanine Lender may, at its option and upon
notice to Mezzanine Borrower, first apply any payments received under the
Mezzanine Note to repay such advances, together with any interest thereon, or
other charges as provided in the Loan Documents (Intermediate Mezzanine), and
the balance, if any, shall be applied in payment of any installment of interest
or principal then due and payable.
(c) The
Maturity Date Payment shall be due and payable in full on the Maturity Date.
2.2.3 Late
Payment Charge
If any
interest payment due under the Loan Documents (Intermediate Mezzanine) is not
paid by Mezzanine Borrower within five (5) days after the date on which it is
due (or, if such fifth (5th) day is
not a Business Day, then the Business Day immediately preceding such day) on or
prior to the date on which it is due, Mezzanine Borrower shall pay to Mezzanine
Lender upon demand an amount equal to the lesser of three percent (3%) of such
unpaid sum or the Maximum Legal Rate (the Late
Payment Charge) in
order to defray the expense incurred by Mezzanine Lender in handling and
processing such delinquent payment and to compensate Mezzanine Lender for the
loss of the use of such delinquent payment. Any such amount shall be secured by
this Agreement, the Pledge and the other Loan Documents (Intermediate Mezzanine)
to the extent permitted by applicable law. Mezzanine Borrower acknowledges and
agrees that the five day grace period with respect to the applicability of the
Late Payment Charge (i) shall only apply to Mezzanine Borrower's first failure
to make a monthly interest payment in any calendar year and (ii) shall not
constitute a payment grace period and shall in no way limit Mezzanine Lender's
rights under Article
XVII.

Agreement and the Mezzanine Note are subject to the express condition that at no
time shall Mezzanine Borrower be obligated or required to pay interest
25
on the
Principal Amount of the Loan at a rate which could subject Mezzanine 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
(Intermediate Mezzanine), Mezzanine Borrower is at any time required or
obligated to pay interest on the Principal Amount due under the Mezzanine Note
at a rate in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate, then the LIBOR 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 under the Mezzanine Note. All sums paid or agreed to
be paid to Mezzanine Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the sums
due under the Loan, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be
amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of
the Loan until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account
of the Loan does not exceed the Maximum Legal Rate of interest from time to time
in effect and applicable to the Loan for so long as the Loan is
outstanding.

recovered by Mezzanine Lender after such Event of Default, (a) such payment may
be made only on the next occurring Payment Date together with all unpaid
interest thereon as calculated through the end of the Interest Period during
which such Payment Date occurs (even if such period extends beyond such Payment
Date and calculated as if such payment had not been made on such Payment Date),
and all other fees and sums payable hereunder or under the Loan Documents
(Intermediate Mezzanine), including without limitation, interest that has
accrued at the Default Rate and any Late Payment Charges), (b) such payment
shall be deemed a voluntary prepayment by Mezzanine Borrower, and (c) Mezzanine
Borrower shall pay, in addition to the Indebtedness, an amount equal to the
Prepayment Fee, if applicable.

of Collateral
Mezzanine
Lender shall, upon the written request and at the reasonable expense of

into Sub-Accounts
On the

Funding.
(a) Mezzanine
Borrower hereby instructs Mezzanine Lender to transfer (and pursuant to the
Account Agreement (Intermediate Mezzanine) shall irrevocably authorize Cash
Management Bank (Intermediate Mezzanine) to execute any corresponding
instructions of Mezzanine Lender), and Mezzanine Lender shall transfer (or cause
Cash Management Bank to transfer pursuant to disbursement instructions from
Mezzanine Lender) to the Mezzanine Debt Service Reserve Account, from the
Intermediate Mezzanine Account by 11:00 am New York time on the first (1st)
calendar day of each calendar month (and if such day is not a Business Day then
on the immediately preceding Business Day) or as soon thereafter as there shall
be sufficient collected funds on deposit in the Intermediate Mezzanine Account,
and from time to time (but no less frequently than weekly thereafter) funds in
an amount equal to the sum of any Protective Advances which may have been
advanced by (and not previously reimbursed to) the Mezzanine Lender pursuant to
the terms of the Loan Documents (Intermediate Mezzanine) to cure any Default or
Event of Default, any Mortgage Default or Mortgage Event of Default, or to
protect the Collateral together with any interest payable on such amounts
pursuant to the Loan Documents (Intermediate
37
Mezzanine),
plus (x) the unpaid Debt Service (Intermediate Mezzanine) for the next occurring
Payment Date, plus (y) an amount equal to such payments for any prior month(s),
to the extent not previously paid, plus (z) an amount equal to the amount, if
any, deducted from the Intermediate Mezzanine Account in any preceding month to
pay any other amounts then due under the Loan Documents (Intermediate Mezzanine)
(other than any Debt Service (Intermediate Mezzanine)). Mezzanine Borrower
acknowledges that Mezzanine Lender shall not be required to make such withdrawal
and deposit until such time as Mezzanine Lender is able to calculate the amount
of the Debt Service (Intermediate Mezzanine) for the next occurring Payment
Date. As used herein, the term Net
Excess Cash Flow means
the amount available in the Intermediate Mezzanine Account after the transfers
to the Intermediate Mezzanine Debt Service Reserve Account required under this
Section
3.1.6 have
been made and the term Net
Excess Cash Flow Commencement Date shall
mean the date such amounts have been fully funded or reserved within the
Intermediate Mezzanine Account in any given calendar month.
(b) If for
any reason there will be insufficient amounts in the Mezzanine Debt Service
Reserve Account on any Payment Date to pay the Debt Service (Intermediate
Mezzanine) due on such Payment Date, Mezzanine Borrower shall immediately
deposit into the Intermediate Mezzanine Account an amount equal to the shortfall
of available funds in the Mezzanine Debt Service Reserve Account. Any failure by
Mezzanine Borrower to deposit the full amount required by the preceding sentence
shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder. If Mezzanine Lender shall
reasonably determine that there will be insufficient amounts in the Intermediate
Mezzanine Account to pay any Protective Advances as and when the same are due
and payable, Mezzanine Lender shall provide written notice of same to Mezzanine
Borrower setting forth the basis for such determination. Within five (5)
Business Days of receipt of said notice, Mezzanine Borrower shall deposit into
the Intermediate Mezzanine Account an amount equal to the shortfall of available
funds in the Intermediate Mezzanine Account. Any failure by Mezzanine Borrower
to deposit the full amount required by the preceding sentence within said five
(5) Business Day period shall constitute an Event of Default
hereunder.
(c) Provided
that (i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing hereunder or
under any of the other Loan Documents (Intermediate Mezzanine), (ii) no Mortgage
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (iii) no Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing under the Senior Mezzanine Loan or
the Senior Mezzanine Loan Documents, (iv) Mezzanine Borrower shall have

certifying that the signatories know of no Event of Default that has occurred
and is then outstanding under the Loan, the Mortgage Loan or Senior Mezzanine
Loan, and (v) Mezzanine Borrower shall have deposited into the Intermediate
Mezzanine Account all funds then required to have been so deposited, then
Mezzanine Lender shall transfer the Net Excess Cash Flow from the Intermediate
Mezzanine Account to (A) the Junior Mezzanine Account, or (B) following the
repayment of the Junior Mezzanine Loan, to the Mezzanine Borrower's
Account.
38

event that an Event of Default shall have occurred and is then continuing, then,
without notice from Mezzanine Lender, all Net Excess Cash Flow shall be applied
to reduce the outstanding Principal Amount of the Mezzanine Note. At such time
that the Event of Default shall no longer be continuing and provided none of the
events set forth in subsection (c)(i) through (iii) above shall have occurred
and is then continuing, then all Net Excess Cash Flow shall be distributed in
accordance with the provision of subsection (c) above.
(e) Mezzanine
Lender (so long as Mezzanine Lender is not the same entity as Mortgage Lender)
agrees to deliver to Mortgage Lender a monthly notice letter (the Mezzanine
Lender Monthly Debt Service Notice Letter) at
least five (5) Business Days prior to each Payment Date setting forth (i) the
Debt Service (Intermediate Mezzanine) payable by Mezzanine Borrower on the first
Payment Date occurring after the date such notice is delivered, and (ii) whether
or not an Event of Default has then occurred and is continuing under the
Mezzanine Loan Documents.
(f) Mezzanine
Borrower hereby acknowledges that, pursuant to Section 3.1.5 of the Loan
Agreement (Mortgage), (i) to the extent the Mortgage Lender has received notice
from Mezzanine Lender than an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing

Mortgage Lender has not received a Mezzanine Loan Default Notice but has
received a Senior Mezzanine Loan Default Notice and until such time as Mortgage
Lender receives a Senior Mezzanine Loan Default Revocation Notice, Mortgage
Borrower has irrevocably directed that all Excess Cash Flow be deposited
directly into the Senior Mezzanine Account for application as provided in the
Senior Mezzanine Loan Agree-ment (in lieu of transferring such funds to such

(iii) to the extent Mortgage Lender has not received a Mezzanine Loan Default
Notice but has received a Junior Mezzanine Loan Default Notice and until such
time as Mortgage Lender receives a Junior Mezzanine Loan Default Revocation

Mortgage Loan or Senior Mezzanine Loan to which Mezzanine Borrower has
knowledge.
5.1.7 Cooperate
in Legal Proceedings
Mezzanine
Borrower shall cooperate (and shall cause Mortgage Borrower to cooperate) fully
with Mezzanine Lender with respect to any proceedings before any court, board or
other Governmental Authority which would reasonably be expected to affect in any
material adverse way the rights of Mezzanine Lender hereunder or under any of
57
the other
Loan Documents (Intermediate Mezzanine) and, in connection therewith, permit
Mezzanine Lender, at its election, to participate in any such proceedings which
may have a Material Adverse Effect.
5.1.8 Perform
Loan Documents (Intermediate Mezzanine)
Mezzanine
Borrower shall observe, perform and satisfy all the terms, provisions, covenants
and conditions of, and shall pay when due all costs, fees and expenses to the
extent required, under the Loan Documents (Intermediate Mezzanine) executed and
delivered by, or applicable to, Mezzanine Borrower.
5.1.9 Further
Assurances; Separate Notes.
(a) Mezzanine
Borrower shall execute and acknowledge (or cause to be executed and
acknowledged) and deliver to Mezzanine Lender all documents, and take all
actions, reasonably required by Mezzanine Lender from time to time to confirm
the rights created or now or hereafter intended to be created under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents (Intermediate Mezzanine) and any security
interest created or purported to be created thereunder, to protect and further
the validity, priority and enforceability of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents (Intermediate Mezzanine), to subject to the Loan Documents
(Intermediate Mezzanine) any property of Mezzanine Borrower intended by the
terms of any one or more of the Loan Documents (Intermediate Mezzanine) to be
encumbered by the Loan Documents (Intermediate Mezzanine), or otherwise carry
out the purposes of the Loan Documents (Intermediate Mezzanine) and the
transactions contemplated thereunder. Mezzanine Borrower agrees that it shall,
upon request, reasonably cooperate with Mezzanine Lender in connection with any
request by Mezzanine Lender to sever the Mezzanine Note into two (2) or more
separate substitute or component notes in an aggregate principal amount equal to
the Principal Amount and to reapportion the Loan among such separate substitute
notes, including, without limitation, by executing and delivering to Mezzanine
Lender new substitute or component notes to replace the Mezzanine Note,
amendments to or replacements of existing Loan Documents (Intermediate
Mezzanine) to reflect such severance and/or Opinions of Counsel with respect to
such substitute or component notes, amendments and/or replacements, provided
that Mezzanine Borrower shall bear no costs or expenses in connection therewith
(other than administrative costs and expenses of Mezzanine Borrower), and the
holders of such substitute or component notes shall designate a lead lender or
agent for such holders to whom Mezzanine Borrower may direct all communications
with respect to the Loan. Any such substitute or component notes may have
varying principal amounts and economic terms, provided, however, that (i) the
maturity date of any such substitute or component note shall be the same as the
scheduled Maturity Date of the Mezzanine Note immediately prior to the issuance
of such substitute notes, (ii) the substitute notes shall provide for
amortization of the Principal Amount on a weighted average basis over a period
not less than the amortization period provided under the Mezzanine Note, if any,
immediately prior to the issuance of the substitute notes, (iii) the weighted
average LIBOR Margin for the term of the substitute notes shall not exceed the
LIBOR Margin under the Mezzanine Note immediately prior to the issuance of such
substitute notes; and (iv) the economics of the Loan, taken as a whole, shall
not change in a
58
manner
which is adverse to Mezzanine Borrower. Upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, Mezzanine Lender may apply payment of all
sums due under such substitute notes in such order and priority as Mezzanine
Lender shall elect in its sole and absolute discretion.
(b) Mezzanine
Borrower further agrees that if, in connection with the Securitization, it is
determined by the Rating Agencies that a portion of the Securitization would not
receive an "investment grade" rating unless the principal amount of the Mortgage
Loan were to be decreased and, as a result, the principal amount of the Mortgage
Loan is decreased, then (i) the Mezzanine Borrower shall take all actions as are
necessary to effect the "resizing" of the Loan and the Mortgage Loan, (ii) the
Mezzanine Borrower shall cause the Mortgage Borrower to comply with its
agreements to effect a "resizing", and (iii) Mezzanine Lender shall on the date
of the "resizing" of the Loan lend to the Mezzanine Borrower (by way of a
reallocation of the principal amount of the Mortgage Loan and the Loan) such
additional amount equal to the amount of the principal reduction of the Loan
provided that Mortgage Borrower and Mezzanine Borrower execute and deliver any
and all necessary amendments or modifications to the Loan Documents (Mortgage)
and the Loan Documents (Intermediate Mezzanine). In addition, Mezzanine Borrower
and Mezzanine Lender agree that if, in connection with the Securitization, it is
determined by the Rating Agencies that, if the principal amount of the Loan were
to be decreased and, as a result the principal amount of the Mortgage Loan were
increased, more "investment grade" rated securities could be issued, then (i) if
"resizing" to increase the size of the Mortgage Loan and decrease the size of
the Loan is provided for in the Loan Documents (Mortgage), each of them shall
take all actions provided for in the documentation for the Loan as are necessary
to effect the "resizing" of the Loan and the Mortgage Loan, (ii) Mezzanine
Borrower shall cause the Mortgage Borrower to comply with its agreements to
effect a "resizing" and (iii) Mortgage Lender shall on the date of the
"resizing" of the Loan lend to the Mortgage Borrower (by way of a reallocation
of the principal amount of the Mortgage Loan and the Loan) an additional amount
equal to the amount of principal reduction of the Loan, provided that Mortgage
Borrower and Mezzanine Borrower execute and deliver any and all necessary
modifications to the Loan Documents (Mortgage) and Loan Documents (Intermediate
Mezzanine). In connection with the foregoing, Mezzanine Borrower agrees, at
Mezzanine Borrower's sole cost and expense, to execute and deliver such
documents and other agreements reasonably required by Mortgage Lender and/or
Mezzanine Lender to "re-size" the Loan and the Mortgage Loan, including, without
limitation, an amendment to this Agreement, the Mezzanine Note, the Pledge and
the other Loan Documents (Mortgage) and, if the principal amount of the Mortgage
Loan is increased, an endorsement to the Title Policy reflecting an increase in
the insured amount thereunder. Mezzanine Borrower agrees to reimburse Mezzanine
Lender for all costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable
attorneys' fees and expenses) incurred by Mezzanine Lender in connection with
any "resizing" of the Loan and to pay for any additional "Eagle 9" or other UCC
insurance coverage reasonably required by Mezzanine Lender in connection with
any increase in the principal amount of any Mezzanine Loan, and shall deliver
opinions of counsel similar to those delivered on the date hereof with respect
to Mezzanine Borrower and the Mezzanine Loans. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Mezzanine Lender agrees that any "resizing" of the
59
Mortgage
Loan and the Loan shall not change the economics of the Mortgage Loan, Senior
Mezzanine Loan, Junior Mezzanine Loan, and the Mezzanine Loan taken as a whole
in a manner which is adverse to Mezzanine Borrower.
(c) In
addition, Mezzanine Borrower shall, at Mezzanine Borrower's sole cost and
expense:
(i) furnish
to Mezzanine Lender, to the extent not otherwise already furnished to Mezzanine
Lender and reasonably acceptable to Mezzanine Lender, all instruments,
documents, boundary surveys, footing or foundation surveys, certificates, plans
and specifications, appraisals, title and other insurance reports and
agreements, and each and every other document, certificate, agreement and
instrument required to be furnished by Mortgage Borrower pursuant to the terms
of the Loan Documents (Mortgage);
(ii) execute
and deliver, from time to time, such further instruments (including, without
limitation, delivery of any financing statements under the UCC) as may be
reasonably requested by Mezzanine Lender to confirm the lien of the Pledge and
this Agreement or any Collateral;
(iii) execute
and deliver to Mezzanine Lender such documents, instruments, certificates,
assignments and other writings, and do such other acts necessary to evidence,
preserve and/or protect the collateral at any time securing or intended to
secure the obligations of Mezzanine Borrower under the Loan Documents
(Intermediate Mezzanine), as Mezzanine Lender may reasonably require;
(iv) do and
execute all and such further lawful and reasonable acts, conveyances and
assurances for the carrying out of the terms and conditions of this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents (Intermediate Mezzanine), as Mezzanine Lender shall
reasonably require from time to time; and
(v) cause its
New York counsel to re-issue the New York opinion delivered on the date hereof
(in identical form and without updating) in favor of any purchaser of the Loan
or an interest therein.

which are
not subject to a minimum of 1:1 redemption program to be held in a separate
interest bearing account and if requested by Lender, shall, at its sole cost and
expense promptly cause any such deposits to be held in an account under the

any Indemnified Party may suffer, as a result of or with respect to: (a) any
Environmental Claim relating to or arising from the Property; (b) the violation
of any Environmental Law in connection with the Property; (c) any release,
spill, or the presence of any Hazardous Materials affecting the Property; and
(d) the presence at, in, on or under, or the release, escape, seepage, leakage,
discharge or migration at or from, the Property of any Hazardous Materials,
whether or not such condition was known or unknown to Mezzanine Borrower;
provided that, in each case, Mezzanine Borrower shall be relieved of its
obligation under this subsection if any of the matters referred to in clauses
(a) through (d) above did not occur (but need not have been
90
discovered)
prior to the foreclosure of the Pledge. If any such action or other proceeding
shall be brought against Mezzanine Lender, upon written notice from Mezzanine
Borrower to Mezzanine Lender (given reasonably promptly following Mezzanine
Lender's notice to Mezzanine Borrower of such action or proceeding), Mezzanine
Borrower shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof, at Mezzanine
Borrower's expense, with counsel reasonably acceptable to Mezzanine Lender;
provided,
however,
Mezzanine Lender may, at its own expense, retain separate counsel to participate
in such defense, but such participation shall not be deemed to give Mezzanine
Lender a right to control such defense, which right Mezzanine Borrower expressly
retains. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Indemnified Party shall have the
right to employ separate counsel at Mezzanine Borrower's expense if, in the
reasonable opinion of legal counsel, a conflict or potential conflict exists
between the Indemnified Party and Mezzanine Borrower that would make such
separate representation advisable. Mezzanine Borrower shall have no obligation
to indemnify an Indemnified Party for damage or loss resulting from such
Indemnified Party's gross negligence or willful misconduct.
Section
12.5 Recourse
Nature of Certain Indemnifications
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary provided in this Agreement or in any other Loan
Document (Intermediate Mezzanine), the indemnification provided in Section
12.4 shall be
fully recourse to Mezzanine Borrower and shall be independent of, and shall
survive, the discharge of the Indebtedness, the release of the Lien created by
the Pledge, and/or the conveyance of title to the Collateral to Mezzanine Lender
or any purchaser or designee in connection with a foreclosure of the Pledge or
conveyance in lieu of foreclosure.

Section
17.2 Remedies.
(a) Unless
waived in writing by Mezzanine Lender, upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, all or any one or more of the rights,
powers, privileges and other remedies available to Mezzanine Lender against
Mezzanine Borrower and Guarantor under this Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents (Intermediate Mezzanine) executed and delivered by, or applicable to,
Mezzanine Borrower or at law or in equity may be exercised by Mezzanine Lender
at any time and from time to time, whether or not all or any of the Indebtedness
shall be declared due and payable, and whether or not Mezzanine Lender shall
have commenced any foreclosure proceeding or other action for the enforcement of
its rights and remedies under any of the Loan Documents (Intermediate Mezzanine)
with respect to the Collateral. Any such actions taken by Mezzanine Lender shall
be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singly,
successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Mezzanine
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
Mezzanine Lender permitted by law, equity or contract or as set forth herein or
in the other Loan Documents (Intermediate Mezzanine). Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, Mezzanine Borrower agrees that if an Event of
Default is continuing (i) Mezzanine 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 Mezzanine Lender shall remain in full force
and effect until Mezzanine Lender has exhausted all of its remedies against the
Collateral and this Agreement and the Pledge have been foreclosed, sold and/or
otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Indebtedness or the Indebtedness
has been paid in full.
(b) Upon the
occurrence of any Event of Default, Mezzanine Lender may, but without any
obligation to do so and without notice to or demand on Mezzanine Borrower and
without releasing Mezzanine Borrower from any obligation hereunder, take any
action to cure such Event of Default. Mezzanine Lender may appear in, defend, or
bring any action or
99
proceeding
to protect its interests in the Collateral or to foreclose its security interest
under this Agreement and the Pledge or under any of the other Loan Documents
(Intermediate Mezzanine) or collect the Indebtedness.
(c) Upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, with respect to
the Account Collateral (Intermediate Mezzanine), the Mezzanine Lender
may:
(i) without
notice to Mezzanine Borrower, except as required by law, and at any time or from
time to time, charge, set-off and otherwise apply all or any part of the Account
Collateral (Intermediate Mezzanine) against the Obligations (Intermediate
Mezzanine) or any part thereof;
(ii) in
Mezzanine Lender's sole discretion, at any time and from time to time, exercise
any and all rights and remedies available to it under this Agreement, and/or as
a secured party under the UCC;
(iii) demand,
collect, take possession of or receipt for, settle, compromise, adjust, xxx for,
foreclose or realize upon the Account Collateral (Intermediate Mezzanine) (or
any portion thereof) as Mezzanine Lender may determine in its sole discretion;
and
(iv) take all
other actions provided in, or contemplated by, this Agreement.
(d) With
respect to Mezzanine Borrower, the Account Collateral (Intermediate Mezzanine),
the Rate Cap Collateral (Intermediate Mezzanine) and the Collateral, nothing
contained herein or in any other Loan Document (Intermediate Mezzanine) shall be
construed as requiring Mezzanine Lender to resort to the Collateral for the
satisfaction of any of the Indebtedness, and Mezzanine Lender may seek
satisfaction out of the Collateral or any part thereof, in its absolute
discretion in respect of the Indebtedness. In addition, Mezzanine Lender shall
have the right from time to time to partially foreclose this Agreement and the
Pledge in any manner and for any amounts secured by this Agreement or the Pledge
then due and payable as determined by Mezzanine Lender in its sole discretion
including, without limitation, the following circumstances: (i) in the event
Mezzanine Borrower defaults beyond any applicable grace period in the payment of
one or more scheduled payments of principal or interest, Mezzanine Lender may
foreclose this Agreement and the Pledge to recover such delinquent payments, or
(ii) in the event Mezzanine Lender elects to accelerate less than the entire
outstanding principal balance of the Loan, Mezzanine Lender may foreclose this
Agreement and the Pledge to recover so much of the principal balance of the Loan
as Mezzanine Lender may accelerate and such other sums secured by this Agreement
or the Pledge as Mezzanine Lender may elect. Notwithstanding one or more partial
foreclosures, the Collateral shall remain subject to this Agreement and the
Pledge to secure payment of sums secured by this Agreement and the Pledge and
not previously recovered.

Section
17.3 Remedies
Cumulative; Waivers
The
rights, powers and remedies of Mezzanine Lender under this Agreement and the
Loan Documents (Intermediate Mezzanine) shall be cumulative and not exclusive of
any other right, power or remedy which Mezzanine Lender may have against
Mezzanine Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents
(Intermediate Mezzanine), or existing at law or in equity or otherwise.
Mezzanine Lender's rights, powers and remedies may be pursued singly,
concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Mezzanine Lender
may determine in Mezzanine 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 Mezzanine Borrower or any Guarantor shall not be
construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default by
Mezzanine Borrower or any Guarantor or to impair any remedy, right or power
consequent thereon.
Section
17.4 Costs
of Collection

event that after an Event of Default: (i) the Mezzanine Note or any of the Loan
Documents (Intermediate Mezzanine) is placed in the hands of an attorney for
collection or enforcement or is collected or enforced through any legal
proceeding; (ii) an attorney is retained to represent Mezzanine Lender in any
bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership, or other proceedings affecting
creditors' rights and involving a claim under this Agreement, the Mezzanine Note
or any of the Loan Documents (Intermediate Mezzanine); or (iii) an attorney is
retained to protect or enforce the lien or any of the terms of this Agreement,
the Pledge or any of the Loan Documents (Intermediate Mezzanine); then Mezzanine

action, costs and expenses (including all reasonable attorneys' fees and
expenses actually incurred) imposed upon or incurred by or asserted against the

performance or discharge of any of the terms, covenants and conditions of the
landlord contained in the Leases, or (9) except as may be expressly limited
herein, the presence at, in or under the Property or the Improvements of any
Hazardous Materials in violation of any Environmental Law. Any amounts the
Indemnified Parties are legally entitled to receive under this Section which
are not paid within fifteen (15) Business Days after written demand therefor by
the Indemnified Parties or Mezzanine Lender, setting forth in reasonable detail
the amount of such demand and the basis therefor, shall bear interest from the
date of demand at the Default Rate, and shall, together with such interest, be
part of the Indebtedness and secured by this Agreement and the Pledge. In case
any action, suit or proceeding is brought against the Indemnified Parties by
reason of any such occurrence, Mezzanine Borrower shall at
112
Mezzanine
Borrower's expense resist and defend such action, suit or proceeding or will
cause the same to be resisted and defended by counsel at Mezzanine Borrower's
reasonable expense for the insurer of the liability or by counsel designated by
Mezzanine Borrower (unless reasonably disapproved by Mezzanine Lender promptly
after Mezzanine Lender has been notified of such counsel); provided,
however, that
nothing herein shall compromise the right of Mezzanine Lender (or any
Indemnified Party) to appoint its own counsel at Mezzanine Borrower's expense
for its defense with respect to any action which in its reasonable opinion
presents a conflict or potential conflict between Mezzanine Lender and Mezzanine
Borrower that would make such separate representation advisable; provided
further that if Mezzanine Lender shall have appointed separate counsel pursuant
to the foregoing, Mezzanine Borrower shall not be responsible for the expense of
additional separate counsel of any Indemnified Party unless in the reasonable
opinion of Mezzanine Lender a conflict or potential conflict exists between such
Indemnified Party and Mezzanine Lender. So long as Mezzanine Borrower is
resisting and defending such action, suit or proceeding as provided above in a
prudent and commercially reasonable manner, Mezzanine Lender and the Indemnified
Parties shall not be entitled to settle such action, suit or proceeding without
Mezzanine Borrower's consent which shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed, and claim the benefit of this Section with
respect to such action, suit or proceeding and Mezzanine Lender agrees that it
will not settle any such action, suit or proceeding without the consent of
Mezzanine Borrower; provided,
however, that if
Mezzanine Borrower is not diligently defending such action, suit or proceeding
in a prudent and commercially reasonable manner as provided above, and Mezzanine
Lender has provided Mezzanine Borrower with thirty (30) days' prior written
notice, or shorter period if mandated by the requirements of applicable law, and
opportunity to correct such determination, Mezzanine Lender may settle such
action, suit or proceeding and claim the benefit of this Section
19.12 with

conditions, any or all of which may be freely waived in whole or in part by

decedents, or any other matters whatsoever to defeat, reduce or affect the right
of Mezzanine Lender under the Loan Documents (Intermediate Mezzanine) to a sale

and every right it may have to (i) interpose any counterclaim therein (other
than a counterclaim which can only be asserted in the suit, action or proceeding
brought by Mezzanine Lender on this Agreement, the Mezzanine Note, the Pledge or
any Loan Document (Intermediate Mezzanine) and cannot be maintained in a
separate action) and (ii) have any such suit, action or proceeding consolidated

exercise of any rights or remedies available to it under any of the Loan
Documents (Intermediate Mezzanine) or any other agreements or instruments which
govern the Loan by virtue of the ownership by it or
114
any
parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Mezzanine Lender of any equity interest any

irrevocably waives the right to raise any defense or take any action on the
basis of the foregoing with respect to Mezzanine Lender's exercise of any such
rights or remedies. Mezzanine Borrower acknowledges that Mezzanine Lender
