The fee due under each Management Agreement, and the terms and provisions of each Management Agreement, are subordinate to the related Debenture.

Section 3.21 Fraudulent Transfer. No Borrower has entered into the Loan or any Loan Document with the actual intent to hinder, delay, or defraud any creditor, and each Borrower has received reasonably equivalent value in exchange for its obligations under the Loan Documents. Giving effect to the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents, the fair saleable value of Borrowers’ assets exceed and will, immediately following the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, exceed Borrowers’ total liabilities, including subordinated, unliquidated, disputed or contingent liabilities, including the maximum amount of its contingent liabilities or its debts as such debts become absolute and matured. Borrowers’ assets do not and, immediately following the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents will not, constitute unreasonably small capital to carry out their businesses as conducted or as proposed to be conducted. Borrowers do not intend to, and does not believe that they will, incur debts and liabilities (including contingent liabilities and other commitments) beyond their ability to pay such debts as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts to be payable on or in respect of obligations of Borrowers).
Section 3.22 Intentionally Omitted.
Section 3.23 Condominium Documents. Set forth on Schedule 2 attached hereto are all of the Condominium Documents affecting the Individual Properties. The Condominium Documents are in full force and effect and, except as disclosed in the estoppels or the applicable condominium Act certificates delivered with respect thereto, there is no default, breach or violation beyond the expiration of applicable notice and cure periods existing thereunder by any Borrower, or to the best of each Borrower’s knowledge, no other party is in material default thereunder beyond the expiration of applicable notice and cure periods existing thereunder, and to the best of each Borrower’s knowledge, no event has occurred that, with the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute a default, breach or violation by Borrower thereunder. To the best of each Borrower’s knowledge, the Condominium Documents that affect the Individual Property that such Borrower owns are in full compliance with all applicable municipal, provincial and federal laws, rules and regulations which effect the establishment and maintenance of condominiums or strata, as applicable, in the applicable provinces (collectively, the “Condominium Law”) relating to condominiums or strata. No assessments payable by any Borrower under any Condominium Documents are past due as of the date hereof.
Section 3.24 Master Leases.
(a) ITW Interim Leases. Each of the ITW Interim Leases has a term of no less than ten (10) years from the date hereof (provided that such ITW Interim Lease may be terminated after four (4) years provided the conditions set forth in Section 4.8(e) are satisfied), the Tenant under each ITW Interim Lease is either Intrawest or an Affiliate of Intrawest and the obligations of such Affiliate under the ITW Interim Lease is guaranteed by Intrawest pursuant to a lease indemnity agreement in a form approved by Lender.
(b) Intrawest Leases. Each of the Intrawest Leases has a remaining term of no less than fifteen (15) years from the date hereof and the Tenant under each Intrawest Lease is Intrawest or an Affiliate of Intrawest.
- 21 -
Section 3.25 Head Leases.
(a) The Head Leases are subordinate to the Debentures and are terminable by Lender upon an Event of Default, a foreclosure of the Debentures or a deed in lieu of foreclosure. In addition, the Head Leases may not be canceled, terminated, surrendered or amended without the prior written consent of Lender, which consent may be withheld in Lender’s sole and absolute discretion.
(b) As of the date hereof, the Head Leases are in full force and effect and no default has occurred under any of the Head Leases and there is no existing condition which, but for the passage of time or the giving of notice, could result in a default under the terms of any of the Head Leases.
(c) Under the terms of the Head Leases, any insurance and condemnation proceeds will be applied in accordance with this Agreement. In addition, the Head Lessee has agreed to perform its obligations under the Head Lease in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents and not to take any actions which would result in a Default or Event of Default hereunder.
Section 3.26 Survival. All of the representations and warranties in this Article III and elsewhere in the Loan Documents are made as of the date hereof and (i) shall survive for so long as any portion of the Debt remains owing to Lender and (ii) shall be deemed to have been relied upon by Lender notwithstanding any investigation heretofore or hereafter made by Lender or on its behalf.
ARTICLE IV
For so long as the Debt or any part thereof remains unpaid, Borrowers covenant and agree as follows:
Section 4.1 Defense of Title. If, while any Debenture is in force, any of the Individual Properties or the interest of Lender therein shall be the subject, directly or indirectly, of any action at law or in equity, or be attached directly or indirectly, or endangered, clouded or adversely affected in any manner, Borrowers, at Borrowers’ expense, shall take all necessary and proper steps for the defense of said title or interest, including the employment of counsel approved by Lender, the prosecution or defense of litigation, and the compromise or discharge of claims made against said title or interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Lender determines that Borrowers are not adequately performing their obligations under this Section, Lender may, without limiting or waiving any other rights or remedies of Lender hereunder, take such steps with respect thereto as Lender shall deem necessary or proper and any and all costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection therewith, together with interest thereon at the Default Interest Rate (as defined in the Note) from the date incurred by Lender until actually paid by Borrowers, shall be immediately paid by Borrowers on demand and shall be secured by the Debentures and by all of the other Loan Documents securing all or any part of the indebtedness evidenced by the Note.
- 22 -
Section 4.2 Performance of Obligations. Borrowers shall pay when due the principal of, and the interest on, the Debt in accordance with the terms of the Note. Borrowers shall also pay all charges, fees and other sums required to be paid by Borrowers as provided in the Loan Documents, in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, and shall observe, perform and discharge all obligations, covenants and agreements to be observed, performed or discharged by Borrowers set forth in the Loan Documents in accordance with their terms. Further, Borrowers shall, and shall cause the Head Lessee to, promptly and strictly perform and comply with all covenants, conditions, obligations and prohibitions required of Borrowers or Head Lessee in connection with any other document or instrument affecting title to any Individual Property, or any part thereof, regardless of whether such document or instrument is superior or subordinate to the related Debenture.
Section 4.3 Insurance. Borrowers shall, at Borrowers’ expense, maintain, or cause to be maintained, in force and effect for the Borrowers and with respect to each of the Individual Properties at all times while the Loan is outstanding the following insurance:
(a) Insurance against loss or damage to the Individual Property by fire, lightning, windstorm, tornado, flood (if requested by Lender), hail, riot and civil commotion, vandalism, malicious mischief, burglary and theft and against loss and damage by such other, further and additional risks as may be now or hereafter embraced by an “all-risk” or “special causes of loss” type of insurance policy. The amount of such insurance for each Individual Property shall be not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the full replacement cost (insurable value) of the Improvements at such Individual Property (as established by an MAI appraisal), without reduction for depreciation. The determination of the replacement cost amount shall be adjusted annually to comply with the requirements of the insurer issuing such coverage or, at Lender’s election, by reference to such indices, appraisals or information as Lender determines in its reasonable discretion in order to reflect increased value due to inflation. Absent such annual adjustment, each policy shall contain inflation guard coverage insuring that the policy limit will be increased over time to reflect the effect of inflation. “Full replacement cost,” as used herein and elsewhere in this Section 4.3, means, with respect to the Improvements on each Individual Property, the cost of replacing the Improvements without regard to deduction for depreciation, exclusive of the cost of excavations, foundations and footings below the lowest basement floor. Each Borrower shall also maintain insurance against loss or damage to furniture, furnishings, fixtures, equipment and other items (whether personalty or fixtures) included at such Individual Property and owned by the related Borrower from time to time to the extent applicable. Each policy shall contain a replacement cost endorsement and either an agreed amount endorsement (to avoid the operation of any co-insurance provisions) or a waiver of any co-insurance provisions, all subject to Lender’s approval. The maximum deductible for each Individual Property shall be US$100,000.00. In addition, if insurance for terrorist acts becomes available in Canada on commercially reasonable terms and if it becomes the industry norm in Canada for lenders to require borrowers to obtain and maintain terrorism insurance in connection with mortgage loans, then, upon written notice from Lender, Borrowers agree to obtain (within 30 days of such notice) and maintain during the remaining term of the Loan such terrorism insurance in amounts and from insurance companies reasonable acceptable to Lender.
- 23 -
(b) If the “all-risk” or “special causes of loss” policy required in subsection (a) above excludes coverage for wind damage, the Borrowers shall maintain separate coverage for such risk.
(c) Ordinance and law insurance is required if the Individual Property is “non-conforming” with respect to any zoning requirements. Borrowers shall maintain “Coverage A” against loss on value to the undamaged portion of the Improvements for the full replacement cost of the Improvements. Borrowers shall also maintain “Coverage B” against the cost of demolition in an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the total value of the Improvements and “Coverage C” against increased cost of reconstruction in an amount equal to twenty percent (20%) of the total value of the Improvements. The maximum deductible for each Individual Property shall be US$100,000.00.
(e) Boiler and machinery insurance is required if steam boilers or other pressure-fired vessels are in operation at any Property. Minimum liability coverage per accident must equal the greater of the replacement cost (insurable value) of the Improvements housing such boiler or pressure-fired machinery or US$2,000,000.00. If one or more large HVAC units is in operation at any Property, “Systems Breakdowns” coverage shall be required, as determined by Lender. Minimum liability coverage per accident must equal the value of such unit(s). If available, a minimum of eighteen (18) months general business income coverage specifically relating to boiler and machinery damage shall be required. The maximum deductible for each Individual Property shall be US$50,000.00. Co-insurance is prohibited.
(f) During the period of any construction, renovation or alteration of the existing Improvements at an Individual Property which exceeds the lesser of ten percent (10%) of the principal amount of the Allocated Loan Amount for such Individual Property or US$500,000, at Lender’s request, a completed value, “All Risk” Builder’s Risk form or “Course of Construction” insurance policy in non-reporting form, in an amount approved by Lender, may be required. During the period of any construction of any addition to the existing Improvements at an Individual Property, a completed value, “All Risk” Builder’s Risk form or “Course of Construction” insurance policy in non-reporting form, in an amount approved by Lender, shall be required. The maximum deductible for each Individual Property shall be US$100,000.00.
(g) When required by applicable law, ordinance or other regulation, Worker’s Compensation and Employer’s Liability Insurance covering all persons subject to the worker’s compensation laws of the province in which each Individual Property is located. Additionally, if
- 24 -
a Borrower has direct employees, Hired and Non-Owned Auto Insurance is required in an amount equal to US$1,000,000 per occurrence.
(h) In addition to the specific risk coverages required herein, general business income (loss of rents) insurance in amounts sufficient to compensate Borrower for all Rents and Profits or income at each Individual Property during a period of not less than twelve (12) months. The “actual loss” amount of coverage shall be adjusted annually to reflect the greater of (i) estimated Rents and Profits or income payable at each Individual Property during the succeeding twelve (12) month period or (ii) the projected operating expenses, capital expenses and debt service for the Individual Property as approved by Lender in its sole discretion. Additionally, Lender, in its sole discretion, may require an “Extended Period of Indemnity” endorsement for an additional six (6) months to allow for re-leasing of the affected Individual Property. The maximum deductible for each Individual Property shall be US$100,000.00.
(i) Such other insurance on all or any of the Individual Properties or on any replacements or substitutions thereof or additions thereto as may from time to time be required by Lender against other insurable hazards or casualties which at the time are commonly insured against in the case of property similarly situated including, without limitation, Sinkhole, Mine Subsidence and Environmental insurance, due regard being given to the height and type of buildings, their construction, location, use and occupancy.
All such insurance shall (i) be with insurers fully licensed and authorized to do business in the province within which the Individual Property is located and who have and maintain a rating of at least (A) A or higher from Standard & Poors and (B) A-X or higher from A.M. Best, (ii) contain the complete address of the Individual Property (or a complete legal description), (iii) be for a term of at least one year, with premium prepaid, and (iv) be subject to the approval of Lender as to insurance companies, amounts, content, forms of policies, method by which premiums are paid and expiration dates, and (v) include a standard, non-contributory, mortgagee clause naming EXACTLY:
Congress Financial Corporation (Canada)
its Successors and Assigns ATIMA
c/o Congress Financial Corporation (Canada), as Servicer
000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxx 0000
Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx X0X 0X0
(A) as an additional insured under all liability insurance policies, (B) as the first mortgagee on all property insurance policies and (C) as the loss payee on all loss of rents or loss of business income insurance policies.
Borrowers shall, as of the date hereof, deliver to Lender evidence that said insurance policies have been prepaid as required above and certified copies of such insurance policies and original certificates of insurance signed by an authorized agent of the applicable insurance companies evidencing such insurance satisfactory to Lender. Borrowers shall renew all such insurance and deliver to Lender certificates and policies evidencing such renewals at least thirty (30) days before any such insurance shall expire. Borrowers further agree that each such insurance policy: (i) shall provide for at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Lender prior to any policy
- 25 -
reduction or cancellation for any reason other than non-payment of premium and at least ten (10) days’ prior written notice to Lender prior to any cancellation due to non-payment of premium; (ii) shall contain an endorsement or agreement by the insurer that any loss shall be payable to Lender in accordance with the terms of such policy notwithstanding any act or negligence of any Borrower which might otherwise result in forfeiture of such insurance; (iii) shall waive all rights of subrogation against Lender; and (iv) may be in the form of a blanket policy provided that, in the event that any such coverage is provided in the form of a blanket policy, each Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that failure to pay any portion of the premium therefor which is not allocable to the Individual Property or by any other action not relating to the Individual Property which would otherwise permit the issuer thereof to cancel the coverage thereof, would require the Individual Property to be insured by a separate, single-property policy. The blanket policy must properly identify and fully protect each Individual Property as if a separate policy were issued for 100% of Replacement Cost at the time of loss and otherwise meet all of Lender’s applicable insurance requirements set forth in this Section 4.3. The delivery to Lender of the insurance policies or the certificates of insurance as provided above shall constitute an assignment of all proceeds payable under such insurance policies relating to each Individual Property by Borrowers to Lender as further security for the Debt. In the event of foreclosure of any Debenture, or other transfer of title to any Individual Property in extinguishment in whole or in part of the Debt, all right, title and interest of the related Borrower or any other Borrower in and to all proceeds payable under such policies then in force concerning such Individual Property shall thereupon vest in the purchaser at such foreclosure, or in Lender or other transferee in the event of such other transfer of title. Approval of any insurance by Lender shall not be a representation of the solvency of any insurer or the sufficiency of any amount of insurance. In the event any Borrower fails to provide, maintain, keep in force or deliver and furnish to Lender the policies of insurance required by this Agreement or evidence of their renewal as required herein, Lender may, but shall not be obligated to, procure such insurance and Borrowers shall pay all amounts advanced by Lender therefor, together with interest thereon at the Default Interest Rate from and after the date advanced by Lender until actually repaid by Borrowers, promptly upon demand by Lender. Any amounts so advanced by Lender, together with interest thereon, shall be secured by the Debentures, Debentures and by all of the other Loan Documents securing all or any part of the Debt. Lender shall not be responsible for nor incur any liability for the insolvency of the insurer or other failure of the insurer to perform, even though Lender has caused the insurance to be placed with the insurer after failure of Borrowers to furnish such insurance. No Borrower shall obtain insurance for any Individual Property in addition to that required by Lender without the prior written consent of Lender which consent will not be unreasonably withheld provided that (i) Lender is a named insured on such insurance, (ii) Lender receives complete copies of all policies evidencing such insurance, and (iii) such insurance complies with all of the applicable requirements set forth herein.
Section 4.4 Payment of Taxes. Borrowers shall pay or cause to be paid, except to the extent provision is actually made therefor pursuant to Section 5.3 hereof, all taxes and assessments which are or may become a lien on any Individual Property or which are assessed against or imposed upon any Individual Property. Borrowers shall furnish Lender with receipts (or if receipts are not immediately available, with copies of canceled checks evidencing payment with receipts to follow promptly after they become available) showing payment of such taxes and assessments at least fifteen (15) days prior to the applicable delinquency date therefor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Borrower may, in good faith, by appropriate proceedings and
- 26 -
upon notice to Lender, contest the validity, applicability or amount of any asserted tax or assessment so long as (a) such contest is diligently pursued, (b) Lender determines, in its subjective opinion, that such contest suspends the obligation to pay the tax and that nonpayment of such tax or assessment will not result in the sale, loss, forfeiture or diminution of the related Individual Property or any part thereof or any interest of Lender therein, and (c) prior to the earlier of the commencement of such contest or the delinquency date of the asserted tax or assessment, the Borrowers deposit in the Impound Account (as hereinafter defined) an amount determined by Lender to be adequate to cover the payment of such tax or assessment and a reasonable additional sum to cover possible interest, costs and penalties; provided, however, that Borrowers shall promptly cause to be paid any amount adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction to be due, with all interest, costs and penalties thereon, promptly after such judgment becomes final; and provided further that in any event each such contest shall be concluded and the taxes, assessments, interest, costs and penalties shall be paid prior to the date any writ or order is issued under which the related Individual Property may be sold, lost or forfeited.
Section 4.5 Casualty and Condemnation. Borrowers shall give Lender prompt written notice of (i) the occurrence of any casualty affecting any Individual Property or any portion thereof, (ii) the institution of any proceedings for expropriation or for the condemnation of any Individual Property or any portion thereof or (iii) any written notification threatening the institution of any proceedings for expropriation or for the condemnation of any Individual Property or any portion thereof or any written request to execute a deed in lieu of condemnation affecting any Individual Property or any portion thereof. All insurance proceeds on the Individual Properties, and all causes of action, claims, compensation, awards and recoveries for any damage, condemnation or taking, or any deed in lieu of condemnation, affecting all or any part of any Individual Property or for any damage or injury to it for any loss or diminution in value of any Individual Property, are hereby assigned to and shall be paid to Lender. To the extent permitted under the applicable Condominium Documents, Lender may participate in any suits or proceedings relating to any such proceeds, causes of action, claims, compensation, awards or recoveries, and Lender is hereby authorized, in its own name or in the related Borrower’s name, to adjust any loss covered by insurance or any condemnation claim or cause of action, and to settle or compromise any claim or cause of action in connection therewith, and the related Borrower shall from time to time deliver to Lender any instruments required to permit such participation; provided, however, that, so long as no Event of Default has occurred, and no event has occurred or failed to occur which with the passage of time, the giving of notice, or both would constitute an Event of Default (a “Default”), Lender shall not have the right to participate in the adjustment of any loss which is not in excess of the lesser of (i) five percent (5%) of the Allocated Loan Amount for the affected Individual Property and (ii) $[1,000,000 (Canadian)]. Lender shall apply any sums received by it under this Section first to the payment of all of its costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable legal fees and disbursements) incurred in obtaining those sums, and then, as follows:
(a) In the event that a casualty or condemnation occurs at any Individual Property and either (i) the Condominium Documents (provided such Condominium Documents have priority over the applicable Debenture) with respect to such Individual Property require that such Individual Property be repaired or restored, or (ii) fifteen percent (15%) or less, in the case of condemnation, or forty percent (40%) or less, in the case of casualty, of the fair market value
- 27 -
or net rentable square footage of the Improvements located on the affected Individual Property have been taken or destroyed, then if and so long as:
(1) no Default or Event of Default has occurred hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, and
(2) the affected Individual Property can, in Lender’s judgment, with diligent restoration or repair, be returned to a condition at least equal to the condition thereof that existed prior to the casualty or partial taking causing the loss or damage within the earlier to occur of (A) nine (9) months after the receipt of insurance proceeds or condemnation awards by either of the related Borrower or Lender but in any event prior to the expiration or lapse of rent loss or general business income necessary to satisfy current obligations of the Loan, and (B) six (6) months prior to the stated maturity date of the Note, and
(3) all necessary governmental approvals can be obtained to allow the rebuilding and reoccupancy of the affected Individual Property as described in Section (a)(2) above, and
(4) there are sufficient sums available (through insurance proceeds or condemnation awards and contributions by Borrowers, the full amount of which shall, at Lender’s option, have been deposited with Lender) for such restoration or repair (including, without limitation, for any costs and expenses of Lender to be incurred in administering said restoration or repair) and for payment of principal and interest to become due and payable under the Note during such restoration or repair, and
(5) the economic feasibility of the Improvements at the affected Individual Property after such restoration or repair will be such that income from their operation is reasonably anticipated to be sufficient to pay operating expenses of the affected Individual Property and debt service on the Debt in full with the same debt service coverage ratio considered by Lender in its determination to make the loan secured hereby, and
(6) in the event that the insurance proceeds or condemnation awards received as a result of such casualty or partial taking exceed the lesser of (i) five percent (5%) of the Allocated Loan Amount for the affected Individual Property and (ii) $1,000,000, Borrower shall have delivered to Lender, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, an appraisal report in form and substance satisfactory to Lender appraising the value of the affected Individual Property as proposed to be restored or repaired to be not less than the appraised value of the affected Individual Property considered by Lender in its determination to make the loan secured by the Debentures, and
(7) Borrower so elects by written notice delivered to Lender within five (5) days after settlement of the aforesaid insurance or condemnation claim, and
(8) Each Rating Agency (as hereinafter defined) shall have confirmed in writing (a “No-Downgrade Confirmation”) that restoration will not result in a
- 28 -
qualification, downgrade or withdrawal of any ratings issued in connection with any Secondary Market Transaction (as hereinafter defined),
then, Lender shall, solely for the purposes of such restoration or repair advance, or Borrower shall cause any trustee appointed by the applicable Condominium Association, if applicable, to advance, so much of the remainder of such sums as may be required for such restoration or repair, and any funds deposited by Borrowers with Lender therefor, to the affected Borrower in the manner and upon such terms and conditions as would be required by a prudent interim construction lender, subject to the terms and provisions of the applicable Condominium Documents, including, but not limited to, the prior approval by Lender of plans and specifications, contractors and form of construction contracts and the furnishing to Lender of permits, bonds, lien waivers, invoices, receipts and affidavits from contractors and subcontractors, in form and substance satisfactory to Lender in its discretion, with any remainder being applied by Lender for payment of the Debt in whatever order Lender directs in its absolute sole discretion, or at the discretion of Lender, the same may be paid, either in whole or in part, to, or for the benefit of, Borrowers for such purposes as Lender shall designate in its discretion. In the event that the Condominium Documents applicable to such Individual Property permit an insurance trustee to hold and disburse the insurance proceeds for such restoration or repair, Borrower shall use its best efforts to cause the Condominium Association to deposit such insurance proceeds with Lender for the application of such proceeds to the restoration and repair of the Individual Property.
(b) In all other cases, namely, in the event that (i) (A) the Condominium Documents applicable to such Individual Property do not require that the Individual Property be repaired or restored (or such Condominium Documents are subordinate to the applicable Debenture) and (B) more than fifteen percent (15%), in the case of condemnation, or forty percent (40%), in the case of casualty, of the fair market value or net rentable square footage of the Improvements located on the affected Individual Property have been taken or destroyed, or (ii) the related Borrower does not elect to restore or repair the affected Individual Property pursuant to clause (a) above or otherwise fails to meet the requirements of clause (a) above, then, in any of such events, Borrower shall notify the applicable Condominium Association to pay to Lender all insurance proceeds applicable to the affected Individual Property and Lender shall elect, in Lender’s absolute discretion and without regard to the adequacy of Lender’s security and upon obtaining consent of any Rating Agency, to do either of the following: (1) apply any sums received pursuant to this Section to the payment of the Debt in accordance with the following paragraph, with any remainder being paid to Borrowers, or (2) notwithstanding that the affected Borrower may have elected not to restore or repair the affected Individual Property pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.5(a) above, require the related Borrower to restore or repair the affected Individual Property in the manner and upon such terms and conditions as would be required by a prudent interim construction lender, including, but not limited to, the deposit by Borrowers with Lender, within thirty (30) days after demand therefor, of any deficiency reasonably determined by Lender to be necessary in order to assure the availability of sufficient funds to pay for such restoration or repair, including Lender’s costs and expenses to be incurred in connection therewith, and for payment of principal and interest to become due and payable under the Note during such restoration or repair, the prior approval by Lender of plans and specifications, contractors and form of construction contracts and the furnishing to Lender of permits, bonds, lien waivers, invoices, receipts and affidavits from contractors and
- 29 -
subcontractors, in form and substance satisfactory to Lender in its discretion, and apply the remainder of such sums toward such restoration and repair, with any balance thereafter remaining being applied by Lender for payment of the Debt in whatever order Lender directs in its absolute sole discretion, or at the discretion of Lender, the same may be paid, either in whole or in part, to, or for the benefit of, Borrowers for such purposes as Lender shall designate in its discretion. The failure of Borrower to comply with the provisions of this paragraph shall be an immediate Event of Default.
Any reduction in the Debt resulting from Lender’s application of any sums received by it hereunder shall take effect only when Lender actually receives such sums and elects to apply such sums to the Debt and, in any event, the unpaid portion of the Debt shall remain in full force and effect and Borrowers shall not be excused in the payment thereof. Partial payments received by Lender, as described in the preceding sentence, shall be applied first to the final payment due under the Note and thereafter to installments due under the Note in the inverse order of their due date. If an affected Borrower elects or Lender directs such Borrower to restore or repair the affected Individual Property after the occurrence of a casualty or partial taking of such Individual Property as provided above, such Borrower shall promptly and diligently, at Borrowers’ sole cost and expense and regardless of whether the insurance proceeds or condemnation award, as appropriate, shall be sufficient for the purpose, restore, repair, replace and rebuild the affected Individual Property as nearly as possible to its value, condition and character immediately prior to such casualty or partial taking in accordance with the foregoing provisions and Borrowers shall pay to Lender all costs and expenses of Lender incurred in administering said rebuilding, restoration or repair, provided that Lender makes such proceeds or award available for such purpose; however, the foregoing proviso shall not affect Borrowers’ obligation to pay to Lender such costs and expenses if Lender is acting as the insurance trustee pursuant to the Condominium Documents and such Condominium Documents do not permit such insurance trustee to make the insurance proceeds available to Borrowers for such purpose. Borrowers, as applicable, agree to execute and deliver from time to time such further instruments as may be requested by Lender to confirm the foregoing assignment to Lender of any award, damage, insurance proceeds, payment or other compensation. Lender is hereby irrevocably constituted and appointed the attorney-in-fact of each Borrower (which power of attorney shall be irrevocable so long as any portion of the Debt is outstanding, shall be deemed coupled with an interest, shall survive the voluntary or involuntary dissolution of any Borrower and shall not be affected by any disability or incapacity suffered by Borrower subsequent to the date hereof), with full power of substitution, subject to the terms of this Section and subject to the terms of the Condominium Documents applicable to such affected Individual Property, to settle for, collect and receive any such awards, damages, insurance proceeds, payments or other compensation from the parties or authorities making the same, to appear in and prosecute any proceedings therefor and to give receipts and acquittances therefor.
Section 4.6 Construction Liens. Borrowers shall pay when due all claims and demands of mechanics, materialmen, laborers and others for any work performed or materials delivered for any of the Individual Properties or the Improvements located thereon; provided, however, that, Borrowers shall have the right to contest in good faith any such claim or demand, so long as it does so diligently, by appropriate proceedings and without prejudice to Lender and provided that neither the affected Individual Property nor any interest therein would be in any danger of sale, loss or forfeiture as a result of such proceeding or contest. In the event any
- 30 -
Borrower shall contest any such claim or demand, the related Borrower shall promptly notify Lender of such contest and thereafter shall, upon Lender’s request, promptly provide a bond, cash deposit or other security satisfactory to Lender to protect Lender’s interest and security should the contest be unsuccessful. If the related Borrower shall fail to immediately discharge or provide security against any such claim or demand as aforesaid, Lender may do so and any and all expenses incurred by Lender, together with interest thereon at the Default Interest Rate from the date incurred by Lender until actually paid by Borrowers, shall be immediately paid by Borrowers on demand and shall be secured by the Debentures and by all of the other Loan Documents securing all or any part of the Debt.

Section 4.8 Leases.
(a) Borrowers covenant and agree that they shall not enter into, or permit Head Lessee to enter into, any Lease affecting the lesser of (x) ten percent (10%) of the gross leaseable area of the Improvements at any Individual Property and (y) 4,000 square feet or more of the related Individual Property or having a term often (10) years or more without the prior written approval of Lender, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. The request for approval of each such proposed new Lease shall be made to Lender in writing and shall state that, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, failure to approve or disapprove such proposed Lease within fifteen (15) Business Days is deemed approval and Borrowers shall furnish to Lender (and any loan servicer specified from time to time by Lender): (i) such biographical and financial information about the proposed Tenant as Lender may require in conjunction with its review, (ii) a copy of the proposed form of Lease, and (iii) a summary of the material terms of such proposed Lease (including, without limitation, rental terms and the term of the proposed lease and any options). It is acknowledged that Lender intends to include among its criteria for approval of any such proposed Lease the following: (i) such Lease shall be with a bona-fide arm’s-length Tenant; (ii) such Lease shall not contain any rental or other concessions which are not then customary and reasonable for similar properties and Leases in the market area of the Individual Property for which such Lease approval is being requested; (iii) such Lease shall provide that the Tenant pays for its expenses; (iv) the rental shall be at least at the market rate then prevailing for similar properties and leases in the market areas of the Individual Property for which such Lease approval is being requested; and (v) such Lease shall contain subordination and attornment provisions in form and content acceptable to Lender. Failure of Lender to approve or disapprove any such proposed Lease within fifteen (15) Business Days after receipt of such written request and all the documents and information required to be furnished to Lender with such request shall be deemed approval, provided that the written request for approval specifically mentioned the same. Upon the request of Borrowers, Lender shall enter into a Subordination, Attornment and Non-Disturbance Agreement with any future Tenant on Lender’s then current form, subject to commercially reasonable negotiation.
(b) Lender hereby approves Borrowers’ form Lease attached hereto as Schedule 9. All Leases of space in the Improvements or at each Individual Property shall be on
- 33 -
terms consistent with the terms for similar leases in the market area of the related Individual Property (taking into account the identity of the tenant, the nature of the tenant’s business and the seasonal nature of the business at the Individual Property), shall provide for free rent only if the same is consistent with prevailing market conditions and shall provide for market rents then prevailing in the market area of the related Individual Property. Such Leases shall also provide for security deposits in reasonable amounts consistent with prevailing market conditions. Borrowers shall also submit to Lender for Lender’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, prior to the execution thereof, any proposed Lease of the Improvements or any portion thereof that differs materially and adversely from the aforementioned form Lease. Except for the Head Leases and the ITW Interim Leases, no Borrower shall execute, and Borrowers shall not permit Head Lessee to execute, any Lease for all or a substantial portion of the Individual Property that it owns, except for an actual occupancy by the Tenant, lessee or licensee thereunder, and shall at all times promptly and faithfully perform, or cause to be performed, all of the covenants, conditions and agreements contained in all Leases with respect to the Individual Property, now or hereafter existing, on the part of the landlord, lessor or licensor thereunder to be kept and performed. Each Borrower shall furnish to Lender, within ten (10) days after a request by Lender to do so, but in any event by February 15th of each year, a current Rent Roll, certified by Borrowers as being true and correct, containing the names of all Tenants with respect to the related Individual Property, the terms of their respective Leases, the spaces occupied and the rentals or fees payable thereunder and the amount of each Tenant’s security deposit. Upon the request of Lender, Borrowers shall deliver to Lender a copy of each such Lease. No Borrower shall do or suffer to be done, and Borrowers shall not permit Head Lessee to do or suffer to be done, any act, or omit to take any action, that might result in a default by the landlord, lessor or licensor under any such Lease or allow the Tenant thereunder to withhold payment of rent or cancel or terminate same and shall not further assign any such Lease or any such Rents and Profits. Borrowers, at no cost or expense to Lender, shall enforce, and shall cause Head Lessee to enforce, short of termination, the performance and observance of each and every condition and covenant of each of the Tenants under such Leases and no Borrower shall, and Borrower shall not permit Head Lessee to, anticipate, discount, release, waive, compromise or otherwise discharge any rent payable under any of the Leases affecting greater than the lesser of (x) five percent (5%) of the gross leaseable area of the related Improvements that such Lease affects or (y) 2,500 square feet. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time and from time to time, Lender shall be entitled to, and each Borrower hereby grants to Lender, and Borrowers have caused Head Lessee to grant to Lender, the right to undertake any and all action as may be required (in the sole discretion of Lender) to cure any default, or event which with the passage of time following any notice and cure period shall constitute a default by a Borrower or the Head Lessee under such Leases. No Borrower shall, and Borrowers shall not permit the Head Lessee to, without the prior written consent of Lender, modify any of the Leases, terminate or accept the surrender of any Leases, waive or release any other party from the performance or observance of any obligation or condition under such Leases except, with respect only to Leases (other than the Head Lease and any Master Leases) affecting less than the lesser of (x) ten percent (10%) of the gross leaseable area of the related Improvements that such Lease affects and (y) 4,000 square feet and having a term often (10) years or less, in the normal course of business in a manner which is consistent with sound and customary leasing and management practices for similar properties in the community in which the applicable Individual Property is located. With respect to the termination or surrender of any Lease (other than the
- 34 -
Head Lease) affecting more than the lesser of (x) ten percent (10%) of the gross leaseable area of the related Improvements that such Lease affects and (y) 4,000 square feet or having a term greater than ten (10) years, Lender reserves the right to condition its consent to any termination or surrender of such Lease upon the payment to Lender of any lease termination or other payment due from the applicable tenant in connection with such termination or surrender. Borrowers and Lender agree that all such sums paid to Lender shall be held by Lender as a tenant improvement and leasing commission reserve and shall be considered a “Reserve” as described in Section 5.1 hereof and all such amounts shall be held, maintained, applied and disbursed in accordance with Lender’s standard procedures relating to similar reserves. No Borrower shall permit, and Borrowers shall not permit Head Lessee to permit, the prepayment of any rents under any of the Leases for more than one (1) month prior to the due date thereof.
(c) Each Lease executed after the date hereof affecting any of the Individual Properties or the Improvements must provide, in a manner approved by Lender (as the approved form lease does), that (i) the Tenant will recognize as its landlord, lessor or licensor, as applicable, and attorn to, any person succeeding to the interest of the Head Lessee upon the termination of the Head Lease and (ii) the Tenant will recognize as its landlord, lessor or licensor, as applicable, and attorn to, any person succeeding to the interest of the Head Lessee or Borrowers, as applicable, upon any foreclosure of the applicable Debenture or deed in lieu of foreclosure. Each such Lease shall also provide (as the approved form lease does) that, upon request of Lender or such other said successor-in-interest, the Tenant shall execute and deliver an instrument or instruments confirming its attornment as provided for in this Section; provided, however, that neither Lender nor any successor-in-interest shall be bound by any payment of rent for more than one (1) month in advance, or any amendment or modification of said Lease made without the express written consent of Lender or said successor-in-interest of the Borrower’s interest.
(d) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, whether before or after the whole principal sum secured hereby is declared to be immediately due or whether before or after the institution of legal proceedings to foreclose any Debenture or sell pursuant to any power of sale, forthwith, upon demand of Lender, Borrowers shall surrender to Lender, and Lender shall be entitled to take actual possession of, the Individual Properties or any part thereof personally, or by its agent or attorneys. In such event (i) at the option of Lender, the Head Lease shall terminate and (ii) Borrowers hereby give and grant to Lender, the right, power and authority to make and enter into Leases with respect to any of the Individual Properties or portions thereof for such rents and for such periods of occupancy and upon conditions and provisions as Lender may deem desirable in its sole discretion, and Borrowers expressly acknowledge and agree that the term of any such Lease may extend beyond the date of any foreclosure sale of the Individual Property, it being the intention of Borrowers that in such event Lender shall be deemed to be and shall be the attorney-in-fact of Borrowers for the purpose of making and entering into Leases of parts or portions of the Individual Properties for the rents and upon the terms, conditions and provisions deemed desirable to Lender in its sole discretion and with like effect as if such Leases had been made by a Borrower as the owner in fee simple of the Individual Property free and clear of any conditions or limitations established by the Debenture. The power and authority hereby given and granted by Borrowers to Lender shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest, shall not be revocable by any Borrower so long as any portion of the Debt is outstanding, shall survive the voluntary or involuntary dissolution of any Borrower and shall not be affected by any
- 35 -
disability or incapacity suffered by any Borrower subsequent to the date hereof. In connection with any action taken by Lender pursuant to this Section, Lender shall not be liable for any loss sustained by any Borrower resulting from any failure to let an Individual Property, or any part thereof, or from any other act or omission of Lender in managing an Individual Property, nor shall Lender be obligated to perform or discharge any obligation, duty or liability under any Lease covering an Individual Property or any part thereof or under or by reason of this instrument or the exercise of rights or remedies hereunder. Borrowers shall, and do hereby, indemnify Lender for, and hold Lender harmless from, any and all claims, actions, demands, liabilities, loss or damage which may or might be incurred by Lender under any such Lease or under this Agreement or the Debentures or by the exercise of rights or remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document, and from any and all claims and demands whatsoever which may be asserted against Lender by reason of any alleged obligations or undertakings on its part to perform or discharge any of the terms, covenants or agreements contained in any such Lease other than those finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lender. Should Lender incur any such liability, the amount thereof, including, without limitation, costs, expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees, together with interest thereon at the Default Interest Rate from the date incurred by Lender until actually paid by Borrowers, shall be immediately due and payable to Lender by Borrowers on demand and shall be secured hereby and by all of the other Loan Documents securing all or any part of the Debt. Nothing in this Section shall impose on Lender any duty, obligation or responsibility for the control, care, management or repair of any Individual Property, or for the carrying out of any of the terms and conditions of any such Lease, nor shall it operate to make Lender responsible or liable for any waste committed on any Individual Property by the Tenants or by any other parties or for any dangerous or defective condition of any Individual Property, or for any negligence in the management, upkeep, repair or control of any Individual Property. Borrowers hereby assent to, ratify and confirm any and all actions of Lender with respect to each Individual Property taken under this Section.
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein or the other Loan Documents, Borrowers shall not amend, modify, cancel, terminate or accept a surrender of any Master Lease or any Head Lease, or waive or release any Tenant thereunder from the performance or observance of any obligation or condition under such Master Leases or any Head Lease, without the prior written consent of Lender, which consent may be withheld in Lender’s sole discretion. In addition, Borrowers shall not permit Head Lessee to amend, modify, cancel, terminate or accept a surrender of any Master Lease, or waive or release any Tenant thereunder from the performance or observance of any obligation or condition under such Master Leases, without the prior written consent of Lender, which consent may be withheld in Lender’s sole discretion. Each Intrawest Tenant shall agree to directly deposit all payments of Rent into the Lockbox Account. At all times during the term of (i) each ITW Interim Lease, the Tenant under the ITW Interim Lease shall be Intrawest, or if such Tenant is not Intrawest, such Tenant shall be an Affiliate of Intrawest acceptable to Lender and Intrawest shall have executed a lease indemnity agreement with respect to such ITW Interim Lease in a form approved by the Lender, and (ii) each Intrawest Lease, the Tenant under the Intrawest Lease shall be Intrawest or an Affiliate of Intrawest. In addition, none of the ITW Interim Leases shall terminate during its 10 year term upon the leasing of the ITW Interim Lease space to any third party tenants and such ITW Interim Leases shall remain in full force and effect for the entire 10 year term, provided, however, that an ITW Interim Lease may terminate at, or at any time after, the end of the
- 36 -
forty-eighth (48th) month of the term of such ITW Interim Lease with respect to space leased to a third party tenant provided all of the following conditions are satisfied: (1) such third party tenant is acceptable to Lender in its reasonable discretion and such third party tenant has executed a Lease approved by Lender, acting reasonably, which Lease shall provide for payment of base minimum rent equal to or greater than the rent set forth in the applicable ITW Interim Lease, reimbursements equal to or greater than the reimbursements set forth in the applicable ITW Interim Lease, and a lease term of at least five (5) years, (2) such third party tenant is in occupancy of all of such applicable ITW Interim Lease space, (3) Borrowers, Intrawest or such third party tenant provides to Lender evidence of a 12-month consecutive payment history with no defaults in the payment of rent or reimbursements, and (4) either (A) if the third party tenant has a percentage rent clause in its Lease, then Borrowers or Intrawest must also provide evidence, acceptable to Lender, acting reasonably, that the tenant has an occupancy cost of 15% (base rent plus reimbursements divided by total store sales) or less for the prior 12-month period, or (B) if the third party tenant does not have a percentage rent clause in its Lease, then Borrowers or Intrawest must provide evidence, acceptable to Lender, acting reasonably, that the tenant has a 24-month consecutive payment history with no defaults in the payment of rent or reimbursements. If such conditions are not met at the end of such 48-month term for any ITW Interim Lease, such ITW Interim Lease shall not terminate and such ITW Interim Lease shall remain in full force and effect until such conditions are met (provided, however, that the term of any ITW Interim Lease shall not be required to exceed ten (10) years).
Section 4.9 Transfers; Further Encumbrances; Assumption of the Loan.
(a) Borrowers acknowledge that Lender has relied upon the principals of each of the Significant Parties and their experience in owning and operating each of the Individual Properties and properties similar to each of the Individual Properties in connection with the closing of the loan evidenced by the Note. Accordingly, except as specifically allowed hereinbelow in this Section and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 8.6 hereof, in the event that any Individual Property or any part thereof or any direct or indirect interest therein or in any Significant Party shall be sold, conveyed, disposed of, alienated, hypothecated, leased (except to Tenants of space in the Improvements in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.8 hereof), assigned, pledged, mortgaged, further encumbered or otherwise transferred or any Borrower shall be divested of its title to the Individual Property that it owns or any direct or indirect interest therein, in any manner or way, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, without the prior written consent of Lender and any Rating Agency being first obtained, which consent may be withheld in Lender’s or any Rating Agency’s sole discretion, then the same shall constitute an Event of Default and Lender shall have the right, at its option, to declare any or all of the Debt, irrespective of the maturity date specified in the Note, immediately due and payable and to otherwise exercise any of its other rights and remedies contained in Article VI hereof. Without limiting the conditions of Section 4.9(b) below, Lender reserves the right to condition any consent required hereunder related to a proposed transferee of the entire interest in the Individual Properties or any direct or indirect interest in Borrower or in any Significant Party equal to or greater than 50% upon payment of a transfer fee of not less than one quarter of one percent (0.25%) of the principal balance of the Note and all of Lender’s expenses incurred in connection with such transfer, the approval by Lender of the proposed transferee, the proposed transferee’s continued compliance with the representations, warranties and covenants set forth herein, or such other conditions as Lender shall determine in its sole
- 37 -
discretion to be in the interest of Lender. A prohibited sale, conveyance, disposition, hypothecation, alienation, mortgage, encumbrance, assignment, lease, pledge or transfer within the meaning of this Section 4.9(a) shall be deemed to include, among other things: (i) an installment sales agreement wherein any Borrower agrees to sell the Individual Property that it owns or any part thereof for a price to be paid in installments; (ii) an agreement by any Borrower or the Head Lessee leasing all or a substantial part of the Individual Property that it owns for other than actual occupancy by a space tenant thereunder (except with respect to any ITW Interim Lease) or a sale, assignment or other transfer of, or the grant of a security interest in, such Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to any Leases or any Rents and Profits; (iii) if any Significant Party is a corporation, the voluntary or involuntary sale, conveyance or transfer of such corporation’s stock (or the stock of any corporation directly or indirectly controlling such corporation by operation of law or otherwise) or the creation or issuance of new stock, in all instances in one or a series of transactions by which an aggregate of more than 49% of such corporation’s stock shall be vested in a party or parties who are not stockholders as of the date hereof or any change in the control of such corporation; (iv) if any Significant Party is a limited or general partnership, joint venture or limited liability company, the change, removal, resignation or addition of a general partner, managing member, manager or joint venturer or the transfer, assignment or pledge of any ownership interest of any general partner, managing member, manager or joint venturer in any Significant Party or the transfer, assignment or pledge of any ownership interest in any general partner, managing member, manager or joint venturer (whether in the form of a beneficial or partnership interest or in the form of a power of direction, control or management, or otherwise); (v) if any Significant Party is a limited partnership or limited liability company, the voluntary or involuntary sale, conveyance, transfer or pledge of any limited partnership interests or membership interests (or the limited partnership interests or membership interests of any limited partnership or limited liability company directly or indirectly controlling such limited partnership or limited liability company by operation of law or otherwise) or the creation or issuance of new limited partnership interests or membership interests (whether in one or a series of transactions), by which an aggregate of more than 49% of such limited partnership interests or membership interests are held by, or pledged to, parties who are not currently limited partners or members; or (vi) if any Significant Party is a trust or the trustee of a trust, the voluntary or involuntary sale, conveyance, transfer or pledge of any beneficial interests or the creation of new beneficial interests by which an aggregate or more than 49% of such beneficial interests are held by, or pledged to, parties who are not currently beneficiaries of such trust. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, (A) a pledge by a Permitted Mezzanine Borrower to a Permitted Mezzanine Lender or an Acceptable CNL Lender or Acceptable Intrawest Lender, or a grant of a lien on the Individual Properties to a Permitted Junior Mortgage Lender, as permitted pursuant to Section 4.7 hereof, shall be permitted without the consent of Lender, (B) a transfer to a Permitted Second Lender in connection with the exercise of remedies by such Permitted Second Lender pursuant to the documents evidencing the Permitted Subordinate Loan shall be permitted without the consent of Lender unless such exercise of remedies is prohibited pursuant to the agreement required to be executed and delivered by the Permitted Second Lender under Section 4.7(a)(6) hereof, (C) limited partnership interests and/or non-managing member interests in a Significant Party shall be freely transferable without the consent of Lender so long as following such transfer, no more than 49% of the beneficial economic interest in any individual Borrower (whether directly or indirectly) has been transferred in the aggregate and the persons responsible for the management and control of the
- 38 -
Individual Properties and such Significant Party as of the date hereof remain in legal, beneficial and actual control and management of such Individual Property, (D) transfers of any direct or indirect interests in Head Lessee, any Nominee, Corporate Beneficiaries and the Trust Beneficiary shall be freely transferable to an Acceptable CNL Entity or an Acceptable Intrawest Entity, (E) any involuntary transfer caused by the death of any general partner, shareholder, joint venturer, member or beneficial owner of a trust shall not be an Event of Default under this Agreement or the related Debenture so long as any affected Significant Party is promptly reconstituted, if required, following such death and so long as those persons responsible for the control and management of the related Individual Property and such Significant Party remain unchanged as a result of such death or any replacement management or controlling parties are approved by Lender which approval may be conditioned upon, among other things, receipt by Lender of a No Downgrade Confirmation from each Rating Agency, (F) gifts for estate planning purposes of any individual’s interests in any Significant Party or in any Significant Party’s general partners, managing members or joint venturers to the spouse or any lineal descendant of such individual, or to a trust for the benefit of any one or more of such individual, spouse or lineal descendant, shall not be an Event of Default under this Agreement or the related Debenture so long as such Significant Party is reconstituted promptly, if required, following such gift and so long as those persons responsible for the control and management of the related Individual Property and such Significant Party remain unchanged following such gift or any replacement management or controlling parties are approved by Lender which approval may be conditioned upon, among other things, receipt by Lender of a No Downgrade Confirmation from each Rating Agency, or (G) any easements or other similar agreements relating to the use or development of any Individual Property which, singly or in the aggregate, do not materially adversely affect the value or use of any Individual Property or the Borrowers’ ability to repay the Loan. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, (i) no transfer shall be permitted pursuant to the foregoing unless each SPE Party remains a Special Purpose Entity after such transfer, (ii) no person or entity may become an owner of a direct or indirect interest in any Significant Party if such transfer, singly or in the aggregate with all other transfers and together with all other Affiliates of such person, causes such person and its Affiliates to own more than a forty-nine (49%) percent interest in and Significant Party or causes such person or its Affiliates to control any Significant Party (and such person and its Affiliates, in the aggregate, did not own a direct or indirect interest exceeding forty-nine percent (49%) or did not control any Significant Party prior to such transfer), unless (x) Borrowers deliver to Lender written notice of such transfer at least ten (10) Business days prior to such transfer and written evidence that such transfer complies with the provisions of this Section 4.9(a), (y) Borrowers deliver to Lender a substantive non-consolidation opinion acceptable to Lender and the Rating Agencies and (z) with respect to any transfer other than the transfers permitted pursuant to subsection (D) above, Borrowers obtain Lender’s prior written consent in each instance and prior to such transfer obtains a written statement from the applicable Rating Agency to the effect that the transfer of interest will not result in a downgrading, withdrawal or qualification of the respective ratings in effect immediately prior to such transfer for any securities issued in connection with a Secondary Market Transaction (as hereinafter defined).
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, Lender shall consent to one or more sales, conveyances or transfers of all of the Individual Properties in a single transaction (hereinafter, a “Sale”) to any person or entity provided that, for each Sale, each of the following terms and conditions are satisfied:
(1) No Default and no Event of Default is then continuing hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents;
- 39 -
(2) Borrowers give Lender written notice of the terms of such prospective Sale not less than ninety (90) days before the date on which such Sale is scheduled to close and, concurrently therewith, gives Lender all such information concerning the proposed transferee of the Individual Properties (hereinafter, “Buyer”) as Lender would require in evaluating an initial extension of credit to a borrower and pays to Lender a non-refundable application fee in the amount of $7,500. Lender shall have the right to approve or disapprove the proposed Buyer. In determining whether to give or withhold its approval of the proposed Buyer, Lender shall consider the Buyer’s experience and track record in owning and operating facilities similar to the Individual Properties, the Buyer’s financial strength, the Buyer’s general business standing and the Buyer’s relationships and experience with contractors, vendors, tenants, lenders and other business entities; provided, however, that, notwithstanding Lender’s agreement to consider the foregoing factors in determining whether to give or withhold such approval, such approval shall be given or withheld based on what Lender determines to be commercially reasonable in Lender’s sole discretion and, if given, may be given subject to such conditions as Lender may deem appropriate;
(3) Borrowers pay to Lender, concurrently with the closing of such Sale, a non-refundable assumption fee in an amount equal to all out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by Lender in connection with the Sale, plus an amount equal to one-quarter of one percent (0.25%) of the then outstanding principal balance of the Note;

Borrowers agree to pay on demand all expenses of Lender incurred with respect to the foregoing (including, but not limited to, reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel), together with interest thereon at the Default Interest Rate from and after the date on which Lender incurs such expenses until reimbursement thereof by Borrowers. Any such expenses so incurred by Lender, together with interest thereon as provided above, shall be additional indebtedness of Borrowers secured by the Debentures and by all of the other Loan Documents securing all or any part of the Debt. The necessity for any such actions and of the amounts to be paid shall be determined by Lender in its discretion. Lender is hereby empowered to enter and to authorize others to enter upon the Individual Properties or any part thereof for the purpose of performing or observing any such defaulted term, covenant or condition without thereby becoming liable to any Borrower or any person in possession holding under any such Borrower. Borrowers hereby acknowledge and agree that the

remedies set forth in this Section 4.16 shall be exercisable by Lender, and any and all payments made or costs or expenses incurred by Lender in connection therewith shall be secured by the Debentures and shall be, without demand, immediately repaid by Borrowers with interest thereon at the Default Interest Rate, notwithstanding the fact that such remedies were exercised and such payments made and costs incurred by Lender after the filing by any or all Borrowers or the filing against any or all Borrowers pursuant to or within the meaning of the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act (Canada), or after any similar action pursuant to any other debtor relief law (whether statutory, common law, case law or otherwise) of any jurisdiction whatsoever, now or hereafter in effect, which may be or become applicable to any Borrower, Lender, any Indemnitor, the Debt or any of the Loan Documents. Borrowers hereby indemnify and hold Lender harmless from and against all loss, cost and expenses with respect to any Event of Default hereof, any liens (i.e., judgments, mechanics’ and materialmen’s liens, or otherwise), charges and encumbrances filed against any Individual Property, and from any claims and demands for damages or injury, including claims for property damage, personal injury or wrongful death, arising out of or in connection with any accident or fire or other casualty on any Individual Property or the Improvements or any nuisance made or suffered thereon, except those that are due to Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, including, without limitation, in any case, reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses as aforesaid, whether at pretrial, trial or appellate level, and such indemnity shall survive payment in full of the Debt.

(i) if Borrower controls the Condominium Association, it will cause the association of each Condominium to maintain the insurance required under the Condominium Documents and if Borrower does not control the Condominium Association, it will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the association of each Condominium to maintain the insurance required under the Condominium Documents; and

Each Borrower shall expressly prohibit the use, generation, handling, storage, production, processing and disposal of Hazardous Substances by all Tenants at the Individual Property that it owns in quantities or conditions that would violate or give rise to any obligation to take remedial or other action under any applicable Environmental Laws.

(d) Borrowers shall promptly notify Lender if any Borrower shall become aware of (i) the actual or potential existence of any Hazardous Substances on any Individual Property other than those occurring in the ordinary course of a Borrower’s business and which do not violate, or would not otherwise give rise to liability under Environmental Laws, (ii) any direct or indirect violation of, or other exposure to liability under, any Environmental Laws, (iii) any lien, action or notice affecting an Individual Property or a Borrower resulting from any violation or alleged violation of or liability or alleged liability under any Environmental Laws, (iv) the institution of any investigation, inquiry or proceeding concerning any Borrower or any Individual Property pursuant to any Environmental Laws or otherwise relating to Hazardous Substances, or (v) the discovery of any occurrence, condition or state of facts which would render any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement incorrect in any respect if made at the time of such discovery.

In the event Borrowers fail to do so, Lender may, but shall not be obligated to, cause the subject Individual Property or other affected property to be freed from any Hazardous Substances or otherwise brought into conformance with Environmental Laws and any and all costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection therewith, together with interest thereon at the Default Interest Rate from the date incurred by Lender until actually paid by Borrowers, shall be immediately paid by Borrowers on demand and shall be secured by the Debentures and by all of the other Loan Documents securing all or any part of the Debt.

- 53 -
(e) Borrowers covenant and agree, collectively at Borrowers’ sole cost and expense, to indemnify, defend (at trial and appellate levels, and with attorneys, consultants and experts acceptable to Lender), and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all liens, damages (including without limitation, punitive or exemplary damages), losses, liabilities (including, without limitation, strict liability), obligations, settlement payments, penalties, fines, assessments, citations, directives, claims, litigation, demands, defenses, judgments, suits, proceedings, costs, disbursements or expenses of any kind or of any nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’, consultants’ and experts’ fees and disbursements actually incurred in investigating, defending, settling or prosecuting any claim, litigation or proceeding) which may at any time be imposed upon, incurred by or asserted or awarded against Lender or any of the Individual Properties, and arising directly or indirectly from or out of: (i) any violation or alleged violation of, or liability or alleged liability under, any Environmental Law; (ii) the presence, release or threat of release of or exposure to any Hazardous Substances or radon on, in, under or affecting all or any portion of any of the Individual Properties or any surrounding areas, regardless of whether or not caused by or within the control of any Borrower; (iii) any transport, treatment, recycling, storage, disposal or arrangement therefor of Hazardous Substances whether on any of the Individual Properties, originating from any of the Individual Properties, or otherwise associated with any Borrower or any operations conducted on any of the Individual Properties at any time; (iv) the failure by any Borrower to comply fully with the terms and conditions of this Section 4.27; (v) the breach of any representation or warranty by any Borrower contained in this Section 4.27; or (vi) the enforcement of this Section 4.27, including, without limitation, the cost of assessment, investigation, containment, removal and/or remediation of any and all Hazardous Substances from all or any portion of any of the Individual Properties or any surrounding areas, the cost of any actions taken in response to the presence, release or threat of release of any Hazardous Substances on, in, under or affecting any portion of the Individual Property or any surrounding areas to prevent or minimize such release or threat of release so that it does not migrate or otherwise cause or threaten danger to present or future public health, safety, welfare or the environment, and costs incurred to comply with Environmental Laws in connection with all or any portion of any of the Individual Properties or any surrounding areas. The indemnity set forth in this Section 4.27 shall also include any diminution in the value of the security afforded by the Individual Properties or any future reduction in the sales price of any of the Individual Properties by reason of any matter set forth in this Section 4.27. The foregoing indemnity shall specifically not include any such costs relating to Hazardous Substances which are initially placed on, in or under an Individual Property after foreclosure or other taking of title to the applicable Individual Property by Lender or its successor or assigns. Lender’s rights under this Section shall survive payment in full of the Debt and shall be in addition to all other rights of Lender under this Agreement, the Debentures, the Note and the other Loan Documents.
(f) Upon Lender’s request, at any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default or at such other time as Lender has reasonable grounds to believe that Hazardous Substances are or have been released, stored or disposed of on any Individual Property in violation of Environmental Laws or in such a manner as to subject Borrower or Lender to potential liability, or on property contiguous with any Individual Property in violation of Environmental Laws or in such a manner as to subject Borrower or Lender to potential liability, or that any Individual Property may be in violation of the Environmental Laws, Borrowers shall perform or cause to be performed, at Borrowers’ sole cost and expense and in scope, form and
- 54 -
substance satisfactory to Lender, an inspection or audit of the subject Individual Property prepared by a hydrogeologist or environmental engineer or other appropriate consultant approved by Lender indicating the presence or absence of Hazardous Substances on such Individual Property, the compliance or non-compliance status of such Individual Property and the operations conducted thereon with applicable Environmental Laws, or an inspection or audit of the subject Individual Property prepared by an engineering or consulting firm approved by Lender indicating the presence or absence of friable asbestos or substances containing asbestos or lead or substances containing lead or lead based paint (“Lead Based Paint”) on such Individual Property. If Borrowers fail to provide reports of such inspection or audit within thirty (30) days after such request, Lender may order the same, and Borrowers hereby grant to Lender and its employees and agents access to the Individual Properties and an irrevocable license to undertake such inspection or audit. The cost of such inspection or audit, together with interest thereon at the Default Interest Rate from the date incurred by Lender until actually paid by Borrowers, shall be immediately paid by Borrowers on demand and shall be secured by the Debentures and by all of the other Loan Documents securing all or any part of the Debt.
(g) Reference is made to that certain Environmental Indemnity Agreement of even date herewith by and among Borrowers and any other principal signatory named therein in favor of Lender (the “Environmental Indemnity Agreement”). The provisions of this Agreement and the Environmental Indemnity Agreement shall be read together to maximize the coverage with respect to the subject matter thereof, as determined by Lender.
(h) If prior to the date hereof, it was determined that an Individual Property contains asbestos-containing materials (“ACM’s”), the Borrower that owns any such Individual Property covenants and agrees to institute, within thirty (30) days after the date hereof, an operations and maintenance program (the “Maintenance Program”) designed by an environmental consultant, satisfactory to Lender, with respect to ACM’s, consistent with “Asbestos on Construction Projects and in Buildings and Repair Operations, Reg. 838, amended by Reg. 510/92” for the Blue Mountain Property and “Occupational Health and Safety Regulation, B.C. Reg. 296/97” for the Whistler Property and other relevant guidelines, and such Maintenance Program will hereafter continuously remain in effect until the Debt secured hereby is repaid in full. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Borrower that owns any such ACM contaminated Individual Property shall inspect and maintain all ACM’s on a regular basis and ensure that all ACM’s shall be maintained in a condition that prevents exposure of residents to ACM’s at all times. Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, Lender may require (i) periodic notices or reports to Lender in form, substance and at such intervals as Lender may specify, (ii) an amendment to such operations and maintenance program to address changing circumstances, laws or other matters, (iii) at Borrowers’ sole expense, supplemental examination of the contaminated Individual Property by consultants specified by Lender, and (iv) variation of the operations and maintenance program in response to the reports provided by any such consultants.
(i) If, prior to the date hereof, it was determined that an Individual Property contains Lead Based Paint, any Borrower that owns such contaminated Individual Property had prepared an assessment report describing the location and condition of the Lead Based Paint (a “Lead Based Paint Report”). If, at any time hereafter, Lead Based Paint is suspected of being present on any Individual Property, Borrowers agree, at their sole cost and expense and within
- 55 -
twenty (20) days thereafter, to cause to be prepared a Lead Based Paint Report prepared by an expert, and in form, scope and substance, acceptable to Lender. Borrowers agree that if it has been, or if at any time hereafter it is, determined that an Individual Property contains Lead Based Paint, on or before thirty (30) days following (i) the date hereof, if such determination was made prior to the date hereof or (ii) such determination, if such determination is hereafter made, as applicable, Borrowers shall, at their sole cost and expenses, develop and implement, and thereafter diligently and continuously carry out (or cause to be developed and implemented and thereafter diligently and continually to be carried out), an operations, abatement and maintenance plan for the Lead Based Paint on the contaminated Individual Property, which plan shall be prepared by an expert, and be in form, scope and substance, acceptable to Lender (together with any Lead Based Paint Report, the “O&M Plan”). (If an O&M Plan has been prepared for an Individual Property prior to the date hereof, the Borrower that owns such Individual Property agrees to diligently and continually carry out (or cause to be carried out) the provisions thereof.) Compliance with the O&M Plan shall require or be deemed to require, without limitation, the proper preparation and maintenance of all records, papers and forms required under the Environmental Laws.

(b) If Lender is made a party defendant to any litigation or any claim is threatened or brought against Lender concerning the Debt, the Debentures, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, any Individual Property, or any part thereof, or any interest therein, or the construction, maintenance, operation or occupancy or use thereof, then Borrowers shall indemnify, defend and hold Lender harmless from and against all liability by reason of said litigation or claims, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by Lender in any such litigation or claim, whether or not any such litigation or claim is prosecuted to judgment. If Lender commences an action against any Borrower to enforce any of the terms hereof or to prosecute any breach by any Borrower of any of the terms hereof or to recover any sum secured hereby, Borrowers shall pay to Lender its reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses. The right to such attorneys’ fees and expenses shall be deemed to have accrued on the commencement of such action, and shall be enforceable whether or not such action is prosecuted to judgment. If any Borrower breaches any term of this Agreement, Lender may engage the services of an attorney or attorneys to protect its rights hereunder, and in the event of such engagement following any breach by a Borrower, Borrowers shall pay Lender reasonable attorneys’ fees and
- 56 -
expenses incurred by Lender, whether or not an action is actually commenced against one or more Borrowers by reason of such breach. All references to “attorneys” in this Subsection and elsewhere in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall include, without limitation, any attorney or law firm engaged by Lender, and all references to “fees and expenses” in this Subsection and elsewhere in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall include, without limitation, any fees of such attorney or law firm, and any appellate counsel fees, if applicable.
(c) A waiver of subrogation shall be obtained by each Borrower from its insurance carrier and, consequently, each Borrower waives any and all right to claim or recover against Lender, its officers, employees, agents and representatives, for loss of or damage to such Borrower, the Individual Property that it owns, such Borrower’s property or the property of others under such Borrower’s control from any cause insured against or required to be insured against by the provisions of the related Debenture or this Agreement.

ARTICLE V
Section 5.1 Reserves Generally.
(a) As additional security for the payment and performance by Borrowers of all duties, responsibilities and obligations under the Note and the other Loan Documents, Borrowers hereby unconditionally and irrevocably assign, convey, pledge, mortgage, transfer, deliver, deposit, set over and confirm unto Lender, and hereby grants to Lender a security interest in, (i) the Payment Reserve and the Impound Account, as applicable, and any other reserve or escrow account established pursuant to the terms hereof or of any other Loan Document (collectively, the “Reserves”), (ii) the accounts into which the Reserves have been deposited, (iii) all insurance on said accounts, (iv) all accounts, contract rights and general intangibles or other rights and interests pertaining thereto, (v) all sums now or hereafter therein or represented thereby, (vi) all replacements, substitutions or proceeds thereof, (vii) all instruments and documents now or hereafter evidencing the Reserves or such accounts, (viii) all powers, options, rights, privileges and immunities pertaining to the Reserves (including the right to make withdrawals therefrom), and (ix) all proceeds of the foregoing. Borrowers hereby authorize and consent to the account into which the Reserves have been deposited being held in Lender’s name or the name of any entity servicing the Note for Lender and hereby acknowledges and agrees that Lender, or at Lender’s election, such servicing agent, shall have exclusive control over said account. Notice of the assignment and security interest granted to Lender herein may be delivered by Lender at any time to the financial institution wherein the Reserves have been established, and Lender, or such servicing entity, shall have possession of all passbooks or other evidences of such accounts. Borrowers hereby assume all risk of loss with respect to amounts on deposit in the Reserves. Borrowers hereby knowingly, voluntarily and intentionally stipulate, acknowledge and agree that the advancement of the funds from the Reserves as set forth herein is at Borrowers’ direction and is not the exercise by Lender of any right of set-off or other remedy upon a Default or an Event of Default. Borrowers hereby waive all right to withdraw funds from the Reserves except as provided for in this Agreement. If an Event of Default shall occur hereunder or under any other of the Loan Documents Lender may, without notice or demand on Borrowers, at its option: (A) withdraw any or all of the funds (including, without limitation, interest) then remaining in the Reserves and apply the same, after deducting all costs and expenses of safekeeping, collection and delivery (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses) to the Debt or any other obligations of Borrowers under the other Loan Documents in such manner as Lender shall deem appropriate in its sole discretion, and the excess, if any, shall be paid to Borrowers, (B) exercise any and all rights and remedies of a secured party under any applicable personal property security legislation or Uniform Commercial Code, or (C) exercise any other remedies available at law or in equity. No such use or application of the funds contained in the Reserves shall be deemed to cure any Default or Event of Default.
(b) The Reserves shall not, unless otherwise explicitly required by applicable law, be or be deemed to be escrow or trust funds, but, at Lender’s option and in Lender’s discretion, may either be held in a separate account or be commingled by Lender with the general funds of Lender. The Reserves are solely for the protection of Lender and entail no
- 61 -
responsibility on Lender’s part beyond the payment of the respective items for which they are held following receipt of bills, invoices or statements therefor in accordance with the terms hereof and beyond the allowing of due credit for the sums actually received. Upon assignment of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by Lender, any funds in the Reserves shall be turned over to the assignee and any responsibility of Lender, as assignor, with respect thereto shall terminate. If the funds in the applicable Reserve shall exceed the amount of payments actually applied by Lender for the purposes and items for which the applicable Reserve is held, such excess may be credited by Lender on subsequent payments to be made hereunder or, at the option of Lender, refunded to Borrowers. If, however, the applicable Reserve shall not contain sufficient funds to pay the sums required by the dates on which such sums are required to be on deposit in such account, Borrowers shall, within ten (10) days after receipt of written notice thereof, deposit with Lender the full amount of any such deficiency. If Borrowers shall fail to deposit with Lender the full amount of such deficiency as provided above, Lender shall have the option, but not the obligation, to make such deposit, and all amounts so deposited by Lender, together with interest thereon at the Default Interest Rate from the date so deposited by Lender until actually paid by Borrowers, shall be immediately paid by Borrowers on demand and shall be secured by the Debentures and by all of the other Loan Documents securing all or any part of the Debt. If there is an Event of Default under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Lender may, but shall not be obligated to, apply at any time the balance then remaining in any or all of the Reserves against the Debt in whatever order Lender shall subjectively determine. No such application of any or all of the Reserves shall be deemed to cure any Event of Default. Upon full payment of the Debt in accordance with its terms or at such earlier time as Lender may elect, the balance of any or all of the Reserves then in Lender’s possession shall be paid over to Borrowers and no other party shall have any right or claim thereto.

(a) Contemporaneously with the execution hereof, Borrowers have established with Lender a reserve in the amount of the first (1st) payment of principal, interest and deposits for any applicable reserves or escrow accounts required under the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents as calculated by Lender (the “Payment Reserve”). Borrowers understand and agree that, notwithstanding the establishment of the Payment Reserve as herein required, all of the proceeds of the Note have been, and shall be considered, fully disbursed and shall bear interest and be payable on the terms provided therein. No interest on funds contained in the Payment Reserve shall be paid by Lender to Borrowers.
(b) For so long as no Event of Default has occurred hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, Lender shall, on the First Payment Date (as defined in the Note) under the Note, advance from the Payment Reserve to itself the amount of the monthly installment due and payable by Borrowers under the Note on the First Payment Date and, to the extent a Cash Trap Period exists, shall also advance from the Payment Reserve into the Impound Account the amount of any deposit for Assessments and insurance premiums and into any other reserve account the amount of any deposit in accordance with the terms of any other Loan Document required to be paid by Borrowers concurrently with such monthly installment pursuant to the terms hereof and thereof. Provided no Default or Event of Default has occurred, after the scheduled disbursement from the Payment Reserve, any amounts then remaining in the Payment Reserve shall be paid to Borrowers. Nothing contained herein, including, without
- 62 -
limitation, the existence of the Payment Reserve, shall release Borrowers of any obligation to make payments under the Note, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents strictly in accordance with the terms hereof or thereof and, in this regard, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, should the amounts contained in the Payment Reserve not be sufficient to pay in full the monthly installments and the Impound Account and any other applicable reserve account deposits referenced above in this subparagraph, Borrowers shall be responsible for paying such deficiency on the First Payment Date.
Section 5.3 Impound Account. Borrowers shall establish and maintain at all times while any portion of the Debt remains outstanding an impound account (the “Impound Account”) with Lender for payment of real estate taxes, assessments (including, without limitation, assessments due to any Condominium Association), maintenance charges, any other assessments or charges that may become liens or charges on the Individual Properties (collectively the “Assessments”, and any Assessments that have priority over the Debentures shall be referred to herein as the “Major Assessments”), and insurance with respect to the Individual Properties as additional security for the Debt; provided, however, that, such deposits shall be required only to the extent set forth in the remainder of this Section. At all times during the term of the Loan, Borrower shall pay to Lender, concurrently with and in addition to the monthly payment due under the Note and until the Debt is fully paid and performed, deposits in an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the amount of the annual Assessments that will next become due and payable on the Individual Properties, plus one-twelfth (1/12) of the amount of the annual premiums that will next become due and payable on insurance policies which Borrowers are required to maintain hereunder, each as estimated and determined by Lender. So long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred, and no event has occurred or failed to occur which with the passage of time, the giving of notice, or both would constitute an Event of Default (a “Default”), all sums in the Impound Account shall be held by Lender in the Impound Account to pay said Assessments and insurance premiums before the same become delinquent. Borrowers shall be responsible for ensuring the receipt by Lender, at least thirty (30) days prior to the respective due date for payment thereof, of all bills, invoices and statements for all Assessments and insurance premiums to be paid, if any, from the Impound Account, and so long as no Event of Default has occurred, Lender shall pay the governmental authority or other party entitled thereto directly to the extent funds are available for such purpose in the Impound Account. In making any payment from the Impound Account, Lender shall be entitled to rely on any xxxx, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office or insurance company or agent without any inquiry into the accuracy of such xxxx, statement or estimate and without any inquiry into the accuracy, validity, enforceability or contestability of any tax, assessment, valuation, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim thereof. No interest on funds contained in the Impound Account, if any, shall be paid by Lender to Borrowers. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall not be required to make such any such deposits with Lender to the extent (and only to the extent) that (i) all such Assessments and insurance premiums are held in reserve by the Condominium Associations for each of the Individual Properties in an amount sufficient to pay such costs and expenses at least 30 days prior to the due date of such Assessments and insurance premiums and Borrowers are timely making such payments to the Condominium Association, (ii) Lender has not received notice from the Condominium Association that (A) any of such reserves are no longer required or being held by the Condominium Association and (B) Borrower is in default of its payment of any Assessments or insurance premiums required to be paid to the Condominium Association, and (iii) Lender receives a monthly accounting from the
- 63 -
Property Manager that such reserves are being paid by Borrowers on a monthly basis and notice from the Condominium Association that the Assessments and insurance premiums have been paid prior to the date such amounts are due; provided, however, that the foregoing waiver of reserves shall not apply (i) to any Major Assessments or any Assessments that would be imposed upon Lender following a foreclosure of the Debenture (unless Lender has the right to notice of a default in the payment of such Assessments and the right to cure such non-payment), and Borrower shall escrow with Lender an amount determined by Lender in its reasonable discretion to pay such Assessments and (ii) during any Cash Trap Period.

(d) Any representation or warranty made herein, in or in connection with any application or commitment relating to the Loan evidenced by the Note, or in any of the other Loan Documents to Lender by Borrowers, by any CNL Affiliates, or by any Indemnitor is determined by Lender to have been false or misleading in any material respect at the time made.

Section 7.1 Remedies Available.
(a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all or any one or more of the rights, powers, privileges and other remedies available to Lender against Borrowers under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents executed and delivered by, or applicable to, Borrowers or at law or in equity may be exercised by Lender at any time and from time to time, whether or not all or any of the Debt shall be declared due and payable, and whether or not Lender shall have commenced any foreclosure proceeding or other action for the enforcement of its rights and remedies under any of the Loan Documents with respect to the Individual Properties. Any such actions taken by Lender shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singly, successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in its sole discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender permitted by law, equity or contract or as set forth herein or in the other Loan
- 66 -
Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if an Event of Default is continuing (i) Lender is not subject to any “one action” or “election of remedies” law or rule, and (ii) all liens and other rights, remedies or privileges provided to Lender shall remain in full force and effect until Lender has exhausted all of its remedies against the Individual Properties and all of the Debentures have been foreclosed, sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Debt or the Debt has been paid in full.
(b) Lender shall have the right from time to time to partially foreclose any or all Debentures in any manner and for any amounts secured by the Debentures then due and payable as determined by Lender in its sole discretion including, without limitation, the following circumstances: (i) in the event Borrowers default beyond any applicable grace period in the payment of one or more scheduled payments of principal and interest, Lender may foreclose one or more of the Debentures to recover such delinquent payments, or (ii) in the event Lender elects to accelerate less than the entire outstanding principal balance of the Loan, Lender may foreclose one or more of the Debentures to recover so much of the principal balance of the Loan as Lender may accelerate and such other sums secured by the Debentures as Lender may elect. Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, the Individual Properties shall remain subject to the Debentures to secure payment of sums secured by the Debentures and not previously recovered.
(c) Lender shall have the right from time to time to sever the Note and the other Loan Documents into one or more separate notes, mortgages and other security documents (the “Severed Loan Documents”) in such denominations as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion for purposes of evidencing and enforcing its rights and remedies provided hereunder. Borrowers 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. Borrowers hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoint Lender as its true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in its name and stead to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect the aforesaid severance, Borrowers ratifying all that its said attorney shall do by virtue thereof; provided, however, Lender shall not make or execute any such documents under such power until three (3) days after notice has been given to Borrowers by Lender of Lender’s intent to exercise its rights under such power. Except as may be required in connection with a Secondary Market Transaction pursuant to Section 8.23 hereof, (i) Borrowers 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 Borrowers only as of the Closing Date.

- 67 -
Section 7.2 Application of Proceeds. All the fullest extent permitted by law, the proceeds of any sale under any Debenture shall be applied, to the extent funds are so available, to the following items in such order as Lender in its discretion may determine:
(a) To payment of the reasonable costs, expenses and fees of taking possession of any Individual Property, and of holding, operating, maintaining, using, leasing, repairing, improving, marketing and selling the same and of otherwise enforcing Lender’s rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, including, but not limited to, receivers’ fees, court costs, attorneys’, accountants’, appraisers’, managers’ and other professional fees, title charges and transfer taxes.
(b) To payment of all sums expended by Lender under the terms of any of the Loan Documents and not yet repaid, together with interest on such sums at the Default Interest Rate.
(c) To payment of the Debt and all other obligations secured by the Debentures, including, without limitation, interest at the Default Interest Rate and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any prepayment fee, charge or premium required to be paid under the Note in order to prepay principal, in any order that Lender chooses in its sole discretion.
(d) The remainder, if any, of such funds shall be disbursed to Borrowers or to the person or persons legally entitled thereto.
Section 7.3 Notice to Account Debtors. Lender may, at any time after an Event of Default, notify the account debtors and obligors of any accounts, chattel paper, negotiable instruments or other evidences of indebtedness to Borrowers included in or related to the Individual Properties to pay Lender directly. Borrowers shall at any time or from time to time upon the request of Lender provide to Lender a current list of all such account debtors and obligors and their addresses.
Section 7.4 Right to Cure. Lender may, but without any obligation to do so and without notice to or demand on Borrowers and without releasing Borrowers from any obligation hereunder or being deemed to have cured any Event of Default hereunder, make, do or perform any obligation of Borrowers hereunder in such manner and to such extent as Lender may deem necessary. Lender is authorized to enter upon the Individual Properties for such purposes, or appear in, defend, or bring any action or proceeding to protect its interest in the Individual Properties for such purposes, and the cost and expense thereof (including reasonable attorneys’ fees to the extent permitted by law), with interest as provided in this Section 7.4, shall constitute a portion of the Debt and shall be due and payable to Lender upon demand. All such costs and expenses incurred by Lender in remedying such Event of Default or such failed payment or act or in appearing in, defending, or bringing any action or proceeding shall bear interest at the Default Interest Rate, for the period after such cost or expense was incurred into the date of payment to Lender. All such costs and expenses incurred by Lender together with interest thereon calculated at the Default Interest Rate shall be deemed to constitute a portion of the Debt and be secured by the liens, claims and security interests provided to Lender under the Loan Documents and shall be immediately due and payable upon demand by Lender therefore.
- 68 -
Section 7.5 Cumulative Remedies. All remedies contained in this Agreement and in the other Loan Documents are cumulative and Lender shall also have all other remedies provided at law and in equity or in any other Loan Documents. Such remedies may be pursued separately, successively or concurrently at the sole subjective direction of Lender and may be exercised in any order and as often as occasion therefor shall arise. No act of Lender shall be construed as an election to proceed under any particular provisions of this Agreement to the exclusion of any other provision of this Agreement or as an election of remedies to the exclusion of any other remedy which may then or thereafter be available to Lender. No delay or failure by Lender to exercise any right or remedy under this Agreement shall be construed to be a waiver of that right or remedy or of any Event of Default. Lender may exercise any one or more of its rights and remedies at its option without regard to the adequacy of its security.
Section 7.6 Payment of Expenses. Borrowers shall pay on demand all of Lender’s expenses incurred in any efforts to enforce any terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, whether or not any lawsuit is filed and whether or not foreclosure is commenced but not completed, including, but not limited to, reasonable legal fees and disbursements, foreclosure costs and title charges, together with interest thereon from and after the date incurred by Lender until actually paid by Borrowers at the Default Interest Rate, and the same shall be secured by the Debentures and by all of the other Loan Documents securing all or any part of the Debt.

Lender may remedy any Event of Default by Borrowers hereunder without waiving the Event of Default remedied. Neither the failure by Lender to exercise, nor the delay by Lender in exercising, any right, power or remedy upon any Event of Default by Borrowers hereunder shall be construed as a waiver of such Event of Default or as a waiver of the right to exercise any such right, power or remedy at a later date. No single or partial exercise by Lender of any right, power or remedy hereunder shall exhaust the same or shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof, and every such right, power or remedy hereunder may be exercised at any time and from time to time. No modification or waiver of any provision hereof nor consent to any departure by Borrowers therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Lender, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose given.

In case Lender shall have proceeded to invoke any right, remedy or recourse permitted hereunder or under the other Loan Documents and shall thereafter elect to discontinue or abandon the same for any reason, Lender shall have the unqualified right to do so and, in such an event, Borrowers and Lender shall be restored to their former positions with respect to the Debt, the Loan Documents, the Individual Properties and otherwise, and the rights, remedies, recourses and powers of Lender shall continue as if the same had never been invoked.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, BORROWERS HEREBY UNCONDITIONALLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ANY CLAIM TO ASSERT THAT THE LAW OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION GOVERNS THIS AGREEMENT AND THE NOTE, AND THIS AGREEMENT AND THE NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE PROVINCE OF ONTARIO EXCEPT AS SPECIFICALLY SET FORTH ABOVE.
Section 8.12 Counting of Days. The term “days” when used herein shall mean calendar days. If any time period ends on a Saturday, Sunday or holiday officially recognized by the state within which the applicable Individual Property is located, the period shall be deemed to end on the next succeeding Business Day.
Section 8.13 Relationship of the Parties. The relationship between Borrowers and Lender is that of borrower and lender only and neither of those parties is, nor shall it hold itself out to be, the agent, employee, joint venturer or partner of the other party.
Section 8.14 Application of the Proceeds of the Note. To the extent that proceeds of the Note are used to pay indebtedness secured by any outstanding lien, security interest, charge or prior encumbrance against any Individual Property, such proceeds have been advanced by Lender at Borrowers’ request and Lender shall be subrogated to any and all rights, security interests and liens owned by any owner or holder of such outstanding liens, security interests, charges or encumbrances, irrespective of whether said liens, security interests, charges or encumbrances are released.
Section 8.15 Unsecured Portion of Indebtedness. If any part of the Debt cannot be lawfully secured by the Debentures or if any part of any Individual Property cannot be lawfully subject to the lien and security interest of the related Debenture to the full extent of such indebtedness, then all payments made shall be applied on said indebtedness first in discharge of that portion thereof which is not secured by a Debenture.
Section 8.16 Events of Defaults Under Loan Documents. An Event of Default hereunder which has not been cured within any applicable grace or cure period shall be a default under each of the Debentures and each of the other Loan Documents.
Section 8.17 Interest After Sale. In the event the Individual Properties or any part thereof shall be sold upon foreclosure as provided hereunder, to the extent permitted by law, the sum for which the same shall have been sold shall, for purposes of redemption (pursuant to the laws of the state in which the applicable Individual Property is located), bear interest at the Default Interest Rate.
- 72 -
Section 8.18 Inconsistency with Other Loan Documents. In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions hereof and the provisions in any of the other Loan Documents, it is intended that the provisions of the Note shall control over the provisions of this Agreement, and that the provisions of this Agreement shall control over the provisions of the Debenture, the Environmental Indemnity Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
Section 8.19 Cross Default; Cross Collateralization. Borrowers acknowledge that Lender has made the Loan to Borrowers upon the security of their collective interest in the Individual Properties and in reliance upon the aggregate of the Individual Properties taken together being of greater value as collateral security than the sum of the Individual Properties taken separately. Borrowers agree that the Debentures are and will be cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with each other so that (i) an Event of Default under any of the Debentures shall constitute an Event of Default under each of the other Debentures which secure the Note; (ii) an Event of Default under the Note or this Agreement shall constitute an Event of Default under each Debenture; and (iii) each Debenture shall constitute security for the Note as if a single blanket lien were placed on all of the Individual Properties as security for the Note.
Section 8.20 Marshalling of Assets. To the fullest extent permitted by law, each Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives all rights to a marshalling of the assets of such Borrower, such Borrower’s partners and others with interests in any Borrower, and of the Individual Properties, or to a sale in inverse order of alienation in the event of foreclosure of all or any of the Debentures, 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 Individual Properties 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 Individual Properties in preference to every other claimant whatsoever. In addition, each Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives in the event of foreclosure of any or all of the Debentures, any equitable right otherwise available to such Borrower which would require the separate sale of the Individual Properties or require Lender to exhaust its remedies against any Individual Property or any combination of the Individual Properties before proceeding against any other Individual Property or combination of Individual Properties; and further in the event of such foreclosure Borrowers do hereby expressly consent to and authorize, at the option of Lender, the foreclosure and sale either separately or together of any combination of the Individual Properties.

Section 8.23 Secondary Market. Lender may sell, transfer and deliver the Note and the Loan Documents to one or more investors in the secondary mortgage market (a “Secondary Market Transaction”) provided such sale or transfer occurs in accordance with Section 2.6(a) hereof. In connection with such sale, Lender may retain or assign responsibility for servicing the Loan evidenced by the Note or may delegate some or all of such responsibility and/or obligations to a servicer, including, but not limited to, any subservicer or master servicer, on behalf of the investors. All references to Lender herein shall refer to and include, without limitation, any such servicer, to the extent applicable, and where the consent of Lender or such servicer is required hereunder, the consent of such servicer or Lender shall be deemed the consent of both. The Borrowers shall not be responsible for the costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with any such Secondary Market Transactions (including any updated environmental or engineering reports or appraisals, or the costs of preparing and negotiating any securitization or assignment documents); provided, however, that Borrower shall be responsible for the fees and expenses of its own lawyers in connection with Borrower’s review and negotiation of any documents, agreements or securitization materials in connection with any such Secondary Market Transaction.

Section 8.25 No Representation. By accepting delivery of any item required to be observed, performed or fulfilled or to be given to Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents, including, but not limited to, any officer’s certificate, balance sheet, statement of profit and loss or other financial statement, survey, appraisal or insurance policy, Lender shall not be deemed to have warranted, consented to, or affirmed the sufficiency, legality, effectiveness or legal effect of the same, or of any term, provision or condition thereof, and such acceptance of delivery thereof shall not be or constitute any warranty, consent or affirmation with respect thereto by Lender.
Section 8.26 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be effective only upon delivery and thereafter shall be deemed an original, and all of which shall be taken to be one and the same instrument, for the same effect as if all parties hereto had signed the same signature page. Any signature page of this Agreement may be detached from any counterpart of this Agreement without impairing the legal effect of any signatures thereon and may be attached to another counterpart of this Agreement identical in form hereto but having attached to it one or more additional signature pages.

Section 8.27 Personal Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the liability of the Borrowers and their officers, directors, general partners, managers, members and principals for the Debt and for the performance of the other agreements, covenants and obligations contained herein and in the Loan Documents shall be limited as set forth in the Note.
Section 8.28 Recording and Filing. Borrowers will cause the Loan Documents and all amendments and supplements thereto and substitutions therefor to be recorded, filed, rerecorded and re-filed in such manner and in such places as Lender shall reasonably request, and will pay on demand all such recording, filing, re-recording and re-filing taxes, fees and other charges. Borrowers shall reimburse Lender, or its servicing agent, for the costs incurred in obtaining a tax service company to verify the status of payment of taxes and assessments on the Individual Properties. In addition, the Borrowers hereby authorizes Lender to file any such financing statement or continuation statement in the United States without the signature of the Borrowers to the extent permitted by law.
Section 8.29 Entire Agreement and Modifications. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents contain the entire agreements between the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof and all prior agreements relative hereto and thereto which are not contained herein or therein are terminated. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents may not be amended, revised, waived, discharged, released or terminated orally but only by a written instrument or instruments executed by the party against which enforcement of the amendment, revision, waiver, discharge, release or termination is asserted. Any alleged amendment, revision, waiver, discharge, release or termination which is not so documented shall not be effective as to any party.
Section 8.30 Maximum Interest. The provisions of this Agreement and of all agreements between Borrowers and Lender, whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether written or oral, are hereby expressly limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever, whether by reason of demand or acceleration of the maturity of the Note or otherwise, shall the amount paid, or agreed to be paid (“Interest”) to Lender for the use, forbearance or retention of the money loaned under the Note exceed the maximum amount permissible under applicable law. If, from any circumstance whatsoever, performance or fulfillment of any provision hereof or of any agreement between Borrowers and Lender shall, at the time performance or fulfillment of such provision shall be due, exceed the limit for Interest prescribed by law or otherwise transcend the limit of validity prescribed by applicable law, then, ipso facto, the obligation to be performed or fulfilled shall be reduced to such limit, and if, from any circumstance whatsoever, Lender shall ever receive anything of value deemed Interest by applicable law in excess of the maximum lawful amount, an amount equal to any excessive Interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal balance owing under the Note in the inverse order of its maturity (whether or not then due) or, at the option of Lender, be paid over to Borrower, and not to the payment of Interest. All Interest (including any amounts or payments deemed to be Interest) paid or agreed to be paid to Lender shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full period until payment in full of the principal balance of the Note so that the Interest thereon for such full period will not exceed the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. This Section will control all agreements between Borrowers and Lender. Notwithstanding any other provision of
- 75 -
this Agreement, in no event shall the aggregate “interest” (as that term is defined in Section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada)) exceed the effective annual rate of interest on the “credit advanced” (as defined therein) lawfully permitted under Section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada). The effective annual rate of interest shall be determined in accordance with generally accepted actuarial practices and principles over the term of the applicable Loan, and in the event of a dispute, a certificate of a Fellow of the Canadian Institute of Actuaries appointed by Lender will be conclusive for the purposes of such determination.
Section 8.31 Currency Indemnity. If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court in any jurisdiction with respect to this Agreement, it becomes necessary to convert into the currency of such jurisdiction (the “Judgment Currency”) any amount due under this Agreement in any currency other than the Judgment Currency (the “Currency Due”), then conversion shall be made at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Business Day before the day on which judgment is given. For this purpose, “rate of exchange” means the rate at which the Lender is able, on the relevant date, to purchase the Currency Due with the Judgment Currency in accordance with its normal practice. In the event that there is a change in the rate of exchange prevailing between the Business Day before the day on which the judgment is given and the date of receipt by the Lender of the amount due, Borrowers will, on the date of receipt by the Lender, pay such additional amounts, if any, or be entitled to receive reimbursement of such amount, if any, as may be necessary to ensure that the amount received by the Lender on such date is the amount in the Judgment Currency which when converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of receipt by the Lender is the amount then due under this Agreement in the Currency Due. If the amount of the Currency Due which the Lender is so able to purchase is less than the amount of the Currency Due originally due to it, Borrower shall indemnify and save the Lender harmless from and against all loss or damage arising as a result of such deficiency. This indemnity shall constitute an obligation separate and independent from the other obligations contained in this Agreement, shall give rise to a separate and independent cause of action, shall apply irrespective of any indulgence granted by the Lender from time to time and shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any judgment or order for a liquidated sum in respect of an amount due under this Agreement or under any judgment or order.
Section 8.32 Intentionally Omitted.
Section 8.33 Protection of Trustee. Notwithstanding anything express or implied in this Agreement to the contrary, the maximum liability of the Trustee under this Agreement (including, without limitation, any liability for interest, costs, expenses and/or any other sums recoverable under this Agreement) shall not exceed the value of the property held in the US Canadian Property Trust Alpha from time to time and which is in the Trustee’s possession or under its control as trustee of US Canadian Property Trust Alpha, PROVIDED THAT the foregoing limitation shall not apply to any breach of trust by, or fraudulent or criminal acts of, the Trustee.
Section 8.34 Assignments and Participations.
(a) Without in any way limiting any rights of Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document but subject to the limitation set forth in Section 2.6(a) above, Lender,

Borrowers may treat each Lender whose name is recorded in the registry pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary or any notation of ownership or other writing or any other note. The registry shall be available for inspection by any Lender at the Borrowers’ principal place of business, at any reasonable time and from time to time, upon reasonable prior notice.
(c) Without in any way limiting any rights of Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Lender may sell, at its sole cost and expense, participations to one or more Persons in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under the Note, this Agreement and the Loan; provided, however, that (i) Lender’s obligations under the Note and this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) Lender shall remain solely responsible to Borrower for the performance of such obligations, (iii) Lender shall remain the holder of the Note for all purposes of the Note, the Loan and this Agreement and (iv) Borrower shall continue to deal solely and directly with Lender in connection with Lender’s rights and obligations under and in respect of this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
(d) Without in any way limiting any rights of Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Lender may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 8.34, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant, as the case may be, any information relating to any CNL Affiliates, Intrawest or any Intrawest Tenant, or to any aspect of the Loan that has been furnished to the Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower, CNL Affiliates Intrawest or any Intrawest Tenant.
Section 8.35 Capacity of Registered Title Holders. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that the Blue Mountain Borrower is executing and delivering the Loan Documents solely in its capacity as a registered titleholder of the Blue Mountain Property and the Whistler Borrower is executing and delivering the Loan Documents solely in its capacity as registered titleholder of the Whistler Property.
