ARTICLE 2
GENERAL TERMS
SECTION 2.1. LOAN COMMITMENT; DISBURSEMENT TO BORROWER
(a) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein,
Lender hereby agrees to make and Borrower hereby agrees to accept the Loan on
the Closing Date.
(b) Borrower may request and receive only one borrowing in respect
of the Loan and any amount borrowed and repaid in respect of the Loan may not be
reborrowed.
(c) The Loan shall be evidenced by the Note and secured by the
Mortgage and the other Loan Documents.
(d) Borrower shall use the proceeds of the Loan to (i) pay certain
costs in connection with the financing of the Property, (ii) make deposits into
the Reserve Funds on the Closing Date in the amounts provided herein, (iii) pay
costs and expenses incurred in connection with the closing of the Loan, as
approved by Lender, (iv) fund any working capital requirements of the Property,
and (v) distribute the balance, if any, to its partners or members, as
applicable.
SECTION 2.2. LOAN PAYMENTS
(a) The Loan shall bear interest at a fixed rate per annum equal
to the Note Rate. Interest shall be computed based on the daily rate produced
assuming a three hundred sixty (360) day year, multiplied by the actual number
of days elapsed. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, interest shall
be paid in arrears.
(b) Borrower hereby agrees to pay sums due under the Note as
follows: An initial payment of is due on the Closing Date for interest from the
Closing Date through and including October 31, 2003. Thereafter, except as may
be adjusted in accordance with the last sentence of Section 2.2(c), (1)
consecutive monthly installments of interest only in an amount calculated in
accordance with Section 2.2(a) above (such amount, the "I/O Monthly Payment
Amount") shall be payable on the first day of each month beginning December 1,
2003 (each such date through and including the Maturity Date, a "Scheduled
Payment Date") through and including the Scheduled Payment Date occurring in
November, 2006 and (2) thereafter, consecutive monthly installments of principal
and interest in an amount equal to the sum set forth on Schedule 1, attached
hereto, shall be payable pursuant to the terms of Section 2.2(d) (the "Constant
Monthly Payment Amount"; the I/O Monthly Payment Amount and the Constant Monthly
Payment Amount shall hereinafter be collectively referred to as the "Monthly
Payment Amount") on each Scheduled Payment Date until the entire indebtedness
evidenced hereby is fully paid, except that any remaining indebtedness, if not
sooner paid, shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date.
(c) The Constant Monthly Payment Amount shall mean the amount of
interest and principal which would be due in order to fully amortize the
principal amount of the Loan over an amortization term of thirty (30) years
assuming an annual interest rate equal to the Note Rate, computed on the basis
of a three hundred sixty (360) day year consisting of twelve (12) months of
thirty (30) days each. Borrower expressly understands and agrees that such
computation of interest based on a three hundred sixty (360) day year consisting
of twelve (12) months of thirty
-16-
(30) days each is solely for the purpose of determining the Monthly Payment
Amount, and, notwithstanding such computation, interest shall accrue on the
outstanding principal amount of the Loan as provided in Section 2.2(a) above.
Borrower understands and acknowledges that such interest accrual requirement
results in more interest accruing on the Loan than if either a thirty (30) day
month and a three hundred sixty (360) day year or the actual number of days and
a three hundred sixty-five (365) day year were used to compute the accrual of
interest on the Loan. Borrower recognizes that such interest accrual requirement
will not fully amortize the Loan within the amortization period set forth above.
Following any partial prepayment occurring solely as a result of the application
of Insurance Proceeds or Awards pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, Lender
may, in its sole and absolute discretion, adjust the Monthly Payment Amount to
give effect to any such partial prepayment, provided, however, that in no event
will any such adjustment result in any such installment becoming due and payable
on any date after the Maturity Date.
(d) Each payment by Borrower hereunder or under the Note shall be
payable at the payment address set forth on Schedule 1, attached hereto, or at
such other place as the Lender may designate from time to time in writing, on
the date such payment is due, to Lender by deposit to such account as Lender may
designate by written notice to Borrower. Whenever any payment hereunder or under
the Note shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, such
payment shall be made on the first Business Day preceding such scheduled due
date.
(e) Prior to the occurrence and following the cure (in accordance
with the terms hereof) of an Event of Default, all monthly payments made as
scheduled under this Agreement and the Note shall be applied first to the
payment of interest computed at the Note Rate, and the balance toward the
reduction of the principal amount of the Note. All voluntary and involuntary
prepayments on the Note shall be applied, to the extent thereof, to accrued but
unpaid interest on the amount prepaid, to the remaining principal amount, and
any other sums due and unpaid to Lender in connection with the Loan, in such
manner and order as Lender may elect in its sole and absolute discretion,
including, but not limited to, application to principal installments in inverse
order of maturity. Following the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default, any payment made on the Note shall be applied to accrued but
unpaid interest, late charges, accrued fees, the unpaid principal amount of the
Note, and any other sums due and unpaid to Lender in connection with the Loan,
in such manner and order as Lender may elect in its sole and absolute
discretion.
(f) All payments made by Borrower hereunder or under the Note or
the other Loan Documents shall be made irrespective of, and without any
deduction for, any setoff, defense or counterclaims.
SECTION 2.3. LATE PAYMENT CHARGE
If any principal or interest payment is not paid by Borrower on or
before the date which is ten (10) calendar days after the same is due, Borrower
shall pay to Lender upon demand an amount equal to the lesser of four percent
(4%) of such unpaid sum or the maximum amount permitted by applicable law in
order to defray the expense incurred by Lender in handling and processing such
delinquent payment and to compensate Lender for the loss of the use of such
-17-
delinquent payment. Any such amount shall be secured by the Mortgage and the
other Loan Documents to the extent permitted by applicable law.
SECTION 2.4. PREPAYMENT; DEFEASANCE
Except as otherwise expressly permitted by this Section 2.4, no
voluntary prepayments, whether in whole or in part, of the Loan or any other
amount at any time due and owing under the Note can be made by Borrower or any
other Person without the express written consent of Lender.
(a) Lockout Period. Borrower has no right to make, and Lender
shall have no obligation to accept, any voluntary prepayment, whether in whole
or in part, of the Loan during the Lockout Period. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if either (i) Lender, in its sole and absolute discretion, accepts a
full or partial voluntary prepayment during the Lockout Period or (ii) there is
an involuntary prepayment during the Lockout Period, then, in either case,
Borrower shall, in addition to any portion of the Loan prepaid (together with
all interest accrued and unpaid thereon), pay to Lender a prepayment premium in
an amount calculated in accordance with Section 2.4(d) hereof.
(b) Total Defeasance.
(i) Notwithstanding any provisions of this Section 2.4 to
the contrary, including, without limitation, subsection (a) of this
Section 2.4, at any time after the earlier to occur of the (1)
expiration of the REMIC Prohibition Period or (2) expiration of the
Substitution/Defeasance Lockout Period, Borrower may cause the release
of the Property from the lien of the Mortgage and the other Loan
Documents upon the satisfaction of the following conditions:
(A) no Event of Default shall exist under any of
the Loan Documents;
(B) not less than thirty (30) (but not more than
ninety (90)) days prior written notice shall be given to
Lender specifying a date on which the Defeasance Collateral
(as hereinafter defined) is to be delivered (the "RELEASE
DATE"), such date being on a Scheduled Payment Date; provided,
however, that Borrower shall have the right (i) to cancel such
notice by providing Lender with notice of cancellation ten
(10) days prior to the scheduled Release Date, or (ii) to
extend the scheduled Release Date until the next Scheduled
Payment Date; provided that in each case, Borrower shall pay
all of Lender's reasonable costs and expenses incurred as a
result of such cancellation or extension;
(C) all accrued and unpaid interest and all
other sums due under the Note, this Agreement and under the
other Loan Documents up to the Release Date, including,
without limitation, all reasonable fees, costs and expenses
incurred by Lender and its agents in connection with such
release (including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees
and expenses for the review and preparation of the Defeasance
Security Agreement (as hereinafter defined) and of the other
materials described in Section 2.4(b)(i)(D) below and any
related
-18
documentation, and any servicing fees, Rating Agency fees or
other costs related to such release), shall be paid in full on
or prior to the Release Date;
(D) Borrower shall deliver to Lender on or prior
to the Release Date:
(1) a pledge and security agreement, in form and
substance which would be satisfactory to a prudent institutional mortgage loan
lender, creating a first priority security interest in favor of Lender in the
Defeasance Collateral, as defined herein (the "DEFEASANCE SECURITY AGREEMENT"),
which shall provide, among other things, that any excess amounts received by
Lender from the Defeasance Collateral over the amounts payable by Borrower on a
given Scheduled Payment Date, which excess amounts are not required to cover all
or any portion of amounts payable on a future Scheduled Payment Date, shall be
refunded to Borrower promptly after each such Scheduled Payment Date;
(2) direct non-callable obligations of the United States
of America (or other obligations which are "government securities" within the
meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, to the extent
the applicable Rating Agencies rating the Securities have confirmed in writing
will not cause a downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the initial, or, if
higher, then applicable ratings of the Securities), that provide for payments
prior and as close as possible to (but in no event later than) all successive
Scheduled Payment Dates occurring after the Release Date, with each such payment
being equal to or greater than the amount of the corresponding Monthly Payment
Amount required to be paid under this Agreement and the Note (including all
amounts due on the Maturity Date) for the balance of the term hereof (the
"DEFEASANCE COLLATERAL"), each of which shall be duly endorsed by the holder
thereof as directed by Lender or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer
in form and substance which would be satisfactory to a prudent lender
(including, without limitation, such certificates, documents and instruments as
may be required by the depository institution holding such securities or the
issuer thereof, as the case may be, to effectuate book-entry transfers and
pledges through the book-entry facilities of such institution) in order to
perfect upon the delivery of the Defeasance Security Agreement the first
priority security interest therein in favor of Lender in conformity with all
applicable state and federal laws governing granting of such security interests;
(3) a certificate of Borrower certifying that all of the
requirements set forth in this Section 2.4(b)(i) have been satisfied;
(4) one or more opinions of counsel for Borrower in form
and substance and delivered by counsel which would be satisfactory to a prudent
lender stating, among other things, that (i) Lender has a perfected first
priority security interest in the Defeasance Collateral and that the Defeasance
Security Agreement is enforceable against Borrower in accordance with its terms,
(ii) the release of the lien of the Mortgage and the pledge of Defeasance
Collateral will not directly or indirectly result in or cause any REMIC Trust
that then holds the Note to fail to maintain its status as a REMIC Trust and
(iii) the defeasance will not cause any REMIC Trust to be an "investment
company" under the Investment Company Act of 1940, at Borrower's cost;
(5) a certificate in form and scope which would be
acceptable to a prudent lender from an Acceptable Accountant certifying that the
Defeasance Collateral will generate
-19-
amounts sufficient to make all payments of principal and interest due under the
Note (including the scheduled outstanding principal balance of the Loan due on
the Maturity Date); and
(6) such other certificates, documents and instruments as
a prudent institutional lender would require; and
(E) in the event the Loan is held by a REMIC
Trust, Lender has received written confirmation from any
Rating Agency rating any Securities that substitution of the
Defeasance Collateral will not result in a downgrade,
withdrawal, or qualification of the ratings then assigned to
any of the Securities.
(ii) Upon compliance with the requirements of Section
2.4(b)(i), the Property shall be released from the lien of the Mortgage
and the other Loan Documents, and the Defeasance Collateral shall
constitute collateral which shall secure the Note and all other
obligations under the Loan Documents. Lender will, at Borrower's
expense, execute and deliver any agreements reasonably requested by
Borrower to release the lien of the Mortgage and the other Loan
Documents from the Property.
(iii) Upon the release of the Property in accordance with
this Section 2.4(b), Borrower shall (at Lender's sole and absolute
discretion) assign all its obligations and rights under the Note,
together with the pledged Defeasance Collateral, to a successor entity
designated and approved by Lender in its sole and absolute discretion
("SUCCESSOR BORROWER"). Successor Borrower shall execute an assignment
and assumption agreement in form and substance which would be
satisfactory to a prudent lender pursuant to which it shall assume
Borrower's obligations under the Note and the Defeasance Security
Agreement. As conditions to such assignment and assumption, Borrower
shall (A) deliver to Lender one or more opinions of counsel in form and
substance and delivered by counsel which would be satisfactory to a
prudent lender stating, among other things, that such assignment and
assumption agreement is enforceable against Borrower and the Successor
Borrower in accordance with its terms and that the Note, the Defeasance
Security Agreement and the other Loan Documents, as so assigned and
assumed, are enforceable against the Successor Borrower in accordance
with their respective terms, and opining to such other matters relating
to Successor Borrower and its organizational structure as Lender may
require, and (B) pay all reasonable fees, costs and expenses incurred
by Lender or its agents in connection with such assignment and
assumption (including, without limitation, legal fees and expenses and
for the review of the proposed transferee and the preparation of the
assignment and assumption agreement and related certificates, documents
and instruments and any fees payable to any Rating Agencies and their
counsel in connection with the issuance of the confirmation referred to
in subsection (b)(i)(E) above). Upon such assignment and assumption,
Borrower shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder, under the
Note, under the other Loan Documents and under the Defeasance Security
Agreement, except as expressly set forth in the assignment and
assumption agreement.
(iv) For purposes of this Section 2.4, "REMIC PROHIBITION
PERIOD" means the two-year period commencing with the "startup day"
within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(9) of the Code of any REMIC Trust
that holds the Note. In no event shall
-20-
Lender have any obligation to notify Borrower that a REMIC Prohibition
Period is in effect with respect to the Loan, except that Lender shall
notify Borrower if any REMIC Prohibition Period is in effect with
respect to the Loan after receiving any notice described in Section
2.4(b)(i)(B); provided, however, that the failure of Lender to so
notify Borrower shall not impose any liability on Lender or grant
Borrower any right to defease the Loan during any such REMIC
Prohibition Period.
(c) Intentionally deleted.
(d) Involuntary Prepayment During the Lockout Period. During the
Lockout Period, in the event of any involuntary prepayment of the Loan or any
other amount under the Note, whether in whole or in part, in connection with or
following Lender's acceleration of the Note or otherwise, and whether the
Mortgage is satisfied or released by foreclosure (whether by power of sale or
judicial proceeding), deed in lieu of foreclosure or by any other means,
including, without limitation, repayment of the Loan by Borrower or any other
Person pursuant to any statutory or common law right of redemption, Borrower
shall, in addition to any portion of the principal balance of the Loan prepaid
(together with all interest accrued and unpaid thereon and in the event the
prepayment is made on a date other than a Scheduled Payment Date, a sum equal to
the amount of interest which would have accrued under the Note on the amount of
such prepayment if such prepayment had occurred on the next Scheduled Payment
Date), pay to Lender a prepayment premium in an amount calculated in accordance
with this Section 2.4(d). Such prepayment premium shall be in an amount equal to
the greater of:
(i) 1% of the portion of the Loan being prepaid; or
(ii) the product obtained by multiplying:
(A) the portion of the Loan being prepaid,
times;
(B) the difference obtained by subtracting (I)
the Yield Rate from (II) the Note Rate, times;
(C) the present value factor calculated using
the following formula:
1-(1+r)-(n)
-----------
r
r = Yield Rate
n = the number of years and any fraction
hereof, remaining between the date the
prepayment is made and the Maturity Date
of the Note.
As used herein, "YIELD RATE" means the yield per annum calculated by
Lender by the linear interpolation of the yield of U.S. Treasury Securities
having a maturity date (one longer and one shorter) most nearly approximating
the Maturity Date as reported on the fifth Business Day preceding the Prepayment
Calculation Date. The "PREPAYMENT CALCULATION DATE" shall mean, as applicable,
the date on which (i) Lender applies any partial prepayment to the reduction of
the outstanding principal amount of the Note, in the case of a voluntary partial
prepayment
-21-
which is accepted by Lender, (ii) Lender accelerates the Loan, in the case of a
prepayment resulting from acceleration, or (iii) Lender applies funds held under
any Reserve Account, in the case of a prepayment resulting from such an
application (other than in connection with acceleration of the Loan).
(e) Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds; Excess Interest.
Notwithstanding any other provision herein to the contrary, and provided no
Event of Default exists, Borrower shall not be required to pay any prepayment
premium in connection with any prepayment occurring solely as a result of (i)
the application of Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds pursuant to the
terms of the Loan Documents, or (ii) the application of any interest in excess
of the Maximum Legal Rate.
(f) After the Lockout Period. Commencing on the day after the
expiration of the Lockout Period, and upon giving Lender at least thirty (30)
days (but not more than ninety (90) days) prior written notice, Borrower may
voluntarily prepay (without premium) the Note in whole (but not in part) on a
Scheduled Payment Date. Lender shall accept a prepayment pursuant to this
Section 2.4(h) on a day other than a Scheduled Payment Date provided that, in
addition to payment of the full outstanding principal balance of the Note,
Borrower pays to Lender a sum equal to the amount of interest which would have
accrued on the Note if such prepayment occurred on the next Scheduled Payment
Date (the "INTEREST SHORTFALL").
(g) Limitation on Partial Prepayments. Except as set forth in
Section 2.4(e), in no event shall Lender have any obligation to accept a partial
prepayment.
SECTION 2.5. SUBSTITUTION OF PROPERTIES
Subject to the terms of this Section 2.5 after the earlier to occur of
(1) the expiration of the REMIC Prohibition Period or (2) the
Substitution/Defeasance Lockout Period (provided, however, that prior to a
Securitization of the Loan, Borrower may obtain a substitution pursuant to this
Section 2.5 during the Substitution/Defeasance Lockout Period), Borrower may
obtain a release of the Lien of the Mortgage (and the related Loan Documents)
encumbering the Property (the "RELEASE PROPERTY") up to one (1) time during the
Loan term by substituting therefor another property of like kind and quality,
acquired by Borrower or an Affiliate of Borrower (provided, however, if the
Substitute Property shall be owned by an Affiliate of Borrower said Affiliate
(i) shall assume all the obligations of Borrower under this Agreement, the Note
and the other Loan Documents and (ii) shall become a party to the Note and the
other Loan Documents and shall be bound by the terms and provisions thereof as
if it had executed the Note and the other Loan Documents and shall have the
rights and obligations of Borrower thereunder) (individually, a "SUBSTITUTE
PROPERTY" and collectively, the "SUBSTITUTE PROPERTIES"), provided that the
following conditions precedent are satisfied:
(a) Lender shall have received at least sixty (60) days prior
written notice requesting the substitution and identifying the Substitute
Property and Release Property.
(b) Lender shall have received (i) a copy of a deed conveying all
of Borrower's right, title and interest in and to the Release Property to a
Person other than Borrower or Borrower Principal pursuant to an arms length
transaction and (ii) a letter from Borrower countersigned by
-22-
a title insurance company acknowledging receipt of such deed and agreeing to
record such deed in the real estate records for the county in which the Release
Property is located.
(c) Lender shall have received a current Appraisal of the
Substitute Property prepared within one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the
release and substitution (i) showing an appraised value equal to or greater than
the appraised value of the Release Property as of the Closing Date, and (ii)
which supports a loan-to-value ratio with respect to the Substitute Property not
greater than the lesser of (A) the loan-to-value ratio as of the Closing Date
with respect to the Release Property and (B) the loan-to-value ratio with
respect to the Release Property immediately prior to the date of the proposed
substitution.
(d) Lender shall have received a certificate of Borrower
certifying, together with other evidence that would be satisfactory to a prudent
institutional mortgage loan lender that, after the substitution of the
Substitute Property and the release of the Release Property, (i) the Debt
Service Coverage Ratio for the twelve (12) full calendar months immediately
preceding the date of the substitution with respect to the Substitute Property
after the substitution shall be equal to or greater than (A) Debt Service
Coverage Ratio for the Release Property for the twelve (12) full calendar months
immediately preceding the Closing Date and (B) Debt Service Coverage Ratio for
the Release Property for the twelve (12) full calendar months immediately
preceding the substitution.
(e) If the Loan is part of a Securitization, Lender shall have
received confirmation in writing from the Rating Agencies to the effect that
such release and substitution will not result in a withdrawal, qualification or
downgrade of the respective ratings in effect immediately prior to such release
and substitution for the Securities issued in connection with the Securitization
that are then outstanding. If the Loan is not part of a Securitization, Lender
shall have consented in writing to such release and substitution, which consent
shall be given in Lender's reasonable discretion applying the requirements of a
prudent institutional mortgage loan lender with respect to real estate
collateral of similar size, scope and value of the Substitute Property.
(f) No Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.
Lender shall have received a certificate from Borrower confirming the foregoing,
stating that the representations and warranties of Borrower contained in this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material
respects on and as of the date of the release and substitution with respect to
Borrower, the Property and the Substitute Property and containing any other
representations and warranties with respect to Borrower, the Property, the
Substitute Property or the Loan as Lender and, if the Loan has been securitized,
the Rating Agencies may reasonably require, unless such certificate would be
inaccurate, such certificate to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory
to a prudent institutional mortgage loan lender and, if the Loan has been
securitized, the Rating Agencies.
(g) Borrower shall have executed, acknowledged and delivered to
Lender (I) a Mortgage, and two UCC-1 Financing Statements with respect to the
Substitute Property, together with a letter from Borrower countersigned by a
title insurance company acknowledging receipt of such Mortgage and UCC-1
Financing Statements and agreeing to record or file, as applicable, such
Mortgage, and one of the UCC-1 Financing Statements in the real estate records
for the county in which the Substitute Property is located and to file one of
the UCC-1 Financing
-23-
Statements in the office of the Secretary of State (or other central filing
office) of the State in which Borrower is formed, so as to effectively create
upon such recording and filing valid and enforceable first priority Lien upon
the Substitute Property, in favor of Lender (or such other trustee as may be
desired under local law), subject only to the Permitted Encumbrances and such
other Liens as are permitted pursuant to the Loan Documents and (II) an
environmental indemnity with respect to the Substitute Property from Borrower
and Borrower Principal as set forth in the Loan Agreement. The Mortgage, UCC-1
Financing Statements, and other Loan Documents shall be the same in form and
substance as the counterparts of such documents executed and delivered with
respect to the related Release Property subject to modifications reflecting only
the Substitute Property as the Property and such modifications reflecting the
laws of the State in which the Substitute Property is located. The Mortgage
encumbering the Substitute Property shall secure all amounts then outstanding
under the Note. If the Note is secured by more than one Mortgage, in the event
that the jurisdiction in which the Substitute Property is located imposes a
mortgage recording, intangibles or similar tax and does not permit the
allocation of indebtedness for the purpose of determining the amount of such tax
payable, the principal amount secured by such Mortgage shall be equal to one
hundred ten percent (110%) of the allocated loan amount for the Substitute
Property.
(h) Lender shall have received (A) to the extent available and
applicable, any "tie-in" or similar endorsement, together with a "first loss"
endorsement, to each Title Insurance Policy insuring the Lien of the existing
Mortgage as of the date of the substitution with respect to the Title Insurance
Policy insuring the Lien of the Mortgage with respect to the Substitute Property
and (B) a Title Insurance Policy (or a marked, signed and redated commitment to
issue such Title Insurance Policy) insuring the Lien of the Mortgage encumbering
the Substitute Property, issued by the title company that issued the Title
Insurance Policies insuring the Lien of the existing Mortgage and dated as of
the date of the substitution. The Title Insurance Policy issued with respect to
the Substitute Property shall (1) to the extent applicable, provide coverage in
the amount of the Loan if the "tie-in" or similar endorsement described above is
available or, if such endorsement is not available, in an amount equal to one
hundred ten percent (110%) of the original principal balance of the Loan,
together with "last dollar endorsement," (2) insure Lender that the relevant
Mortgage creates a valid first lien on the Substitute Property encumbered
thereby, free and clear of all exceptions from coverage other than Permitted
Encumbrances and standard exceptions and exclusions from coverage (as modified
by the terms of any endorsements), (3) contain such endorsements and affirmative
coverages as are then available and are contained in the Title Insurance
Policies insuring the Liens of the existing Mortgage, and such other
endorsements or affirmative coverage that a prudent institutional mortgage
lender would require, and (4) name Lender as the insured. Lender also shall have
received copies of paid receipts or other evidence showing that all premiums in
respect of such endorsements and Title Insurance Policies have been paid.
(i) Lender shall have received a current Survey for the Substitute
Property, certified to the title company and Lender and its successors and
assigns, in the same form and having the same content as the certification of
the Survey of the Release Property prepared by a professional land surveyor
licensed in the State in which the Substitute Property is located in accordance
with the 1999 Minimum Standard Detail Requirements for ALTA/ACSM Land Title
Surveys. Such Survey shall reflect the same legal description contained in the
Title Insurance Policy relating to such Substitute Property and shall include,
among other things, a metes and bounds description
-24-
of the real property comprising part of such Substitute Property (unless such
real property has been satisfactorily designated by lot number on a recorded
plat). The surveyor's seal shall be affixed to each Survey and each Survey shall
certify whether or not the surveyed property is located in a "one-hundred-year
flood hazard area."
(j) Lender shall have received valid certificates of insurance
indicating that the requirements for the policies of insurance required for the
Property hereunder have been satisfied with respect to the Substitute Property
and evidence of the payment of all Insurance Premiums payable for the existing
policy period.
(k) Lender shall have received a Phase I environmental report
dated not more than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the proposed date of
substitution and otherwise acceptable to a prudent institutional mortgage loan
lender and, if recommended under the Phase I environmental report, a Phase II
environmental report that would be acceptable to a prudent institutional
mortgage loan lender, which conclude that the Substitute Property does not
contain any Hazardous Materials in violation of Environmental Laws and is not
subject to any significant risk of contamination from any off site Hazardous
Materials.
(l) Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Lender (A)
updates or, if the Substitute Property is to be owned by an Affiliate of
Borrower, originals, in either case certified by Borrower or such Affiliate, as
applicable, of all organizational documentation related to Borrower or such
Affiliate, as applicable, and/or the formation, structure, existence, good
standing and/or qualification to do business delivered to Lender on the Closing
Date; (B) good standing certificates, certificates of qualification to do
business in the jurisdiction in which the Substitute Property is located (if
required in such jurisdiction); and (C) resolutions of Borrower of such
Affiliate, as applicable, authorizing the substitution and any actions taken in
connection with such substitution.
(m) Lender shall have received the following opinions of
Borrower's counsel: (A) an opinion or opinions of counsel admitted to practice
under the laws of the State in which the Substitute Property is located stating
that the Loan Documents delivered with respect to the Substitute Property
pursuant to clause (i) above are valid and enforceable in accordance with their
terms, subject to the laws applicable to creditors' rights and equitable
principles, and that Borrower is qualified to do business and in good standing
under the laws of the jurisdiction where the Substitute Property is located or
that Borrower is not required by Applicable Law to qualify to do business in
such jurisdiction; (B) an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to Lender,
and, if the Loan has been securitized, the Rating Agencies, stating that the
Loan Documents delivered with respect to the Substitute Property pursuant to
clause (i) above were, among other things, duly authorized, executed and
delivered by Borrower and that the execution and delivery of such Loan Documents
and the performance by Borrower of its obligations thereunder will not cause a
breach of, or a default under, any agreement, document or instrument to which
Borrower is a party or to which it or its properties are bound; (C) an update of
any Insolvency Opinion delivered in connection with the closing of the Loan,
indicating that the substitution does not affect the opinions set forth therein;
(D) if the Loan is part of a Securitization, an opinion of counsel acceptable to
the Rating Agencies that the substitution does not constitute a "significant
modification" of the Loan under Section 1001 of the Code or otherwise cause a
tax to be imposed on a "prohibited transaction" by any REMIC Trust.
-25-
(n) Borrower shall (i) have paid, (ii) have escrowed with Lender
(if then required hereunder) or (iii) be contesting in accordance with the terms
hereof, all Basic Carrying Costs relating to the Property and the Substitute
Property, including without limitation, (i) accrued but unpaid Insurance

material adverse change in the financial condition of the Substitute Property
since the date of such operating statements.
(q) Borrower shall have delivered to Lender estoppel certificates
from each Tenant under a Major Lease, except with respect to commercial Leases
under which a Tenant has leased less than 3,000 square feet. All such estoppel
certificates shall be in a form that would be satisfactory to a prudent mortgage
loan lender and shall indicate that (1) the subject Lease is a valid and binding
obligation of the tenant thereunder, (2) to the best of the tenant's knowledge,
there are no defaults under such Lease on the part of the landlord or tenant
thereunder, (3) the tenant thereunder has no knowledge of any defense or offset
to the payment of rent under such Lease, (4) no rent under such Lease has been
paid more than one (1) month in advance, (5) the tenant thereunder has no option
under such Lease to purchase all or any portion of the Substitute Property, and
(6) all tenant improvement work required under such Lease has been substantially
completed and the tenant under such Lease is in actual occupancy of its leased
premises. If an estoppel certificate indicates that all tenant improvement work
required under the subject Lease has not yet been completed, Borrower shall
deliver to Lender financial statements indicating that Borrower has adequate
funds to pay all costs related to such tenant improvement work as required under
such Lease.
(r) Lender shall have received copies of all Leases (except those
Leases relating to mobile home or recreational vehicle pads) affecting the
Substitute Property, together with a rent roll, certified by Borrower as being

Insurance Policy insuring the Lien of the Mortgage encumbering the Substitute
Property insuring that the Substitute Property constitutes a separate tax lot

(v) Lender shall have received evidence which would be
satisfactory to a prudent institutional mortgage loan lender to the effect that
all material building and operating licenses and permits necessary for the use
and occupancy of the Substitute Property as a mobile home park and/or
recreational vehicle resort, as applicable, (and, if applicable, a golf course,
together with all other appurtenant uses for which the Substitute Property is
used) including, but not limited to, current certificates of occupancy, have
been obtained and are in full force and effect.
(w) In the event the Release Property is subject to a Management
Agreement along with one or more additional Properties, Lender shall have
received a certified copy of an amendment to the Management Agreement reflecting
the deletion of the Release Property and the addition of the Substitute Property
as a property managed pursuant thereto and Manager shall have executed and
delivered to Lender an amendment to the Assignment of Management Agreement
reflecting such amendment to the Management Agreement. In the event that the

as the Management Agreement for the Release Property and the Manager thereunder
shall have executed and delivered to Lender an Assignment of Management
Agreement with respect to such new Management Agreement on substantially the
same terms as used in connection with the Release Property or such other terms
as would be acceptable to a prudent institutional mortgage loan lender.
(x) Lender shall have received such other documents and
information in connection with the substitution as requested by the Rating
Agencies if the Loan is part of a Securitization, or Lender if the Loan is not
part of a Securitization.
(y) Lender shall have received copies of all material contracts
and agreements (that are not terminable by Borrower upon thirty (30) days'
notice) relating to the leasing and operation of the Substitute Property (other
than the Management Agreement), each of which shall be in a form and substance
which would be satisfactory to a prudent institutional mortgage loan lender

(bb) If Borrower owns a leasehold estate in the Substitute
Property, Lender shall have received, (i) a certified copy of the Ground Lease
for the Substitute Property, together with all amendments and modifications
thereto and a recorded memorandum thereof, which Ground Lease would be
reasonably satisfactory in all respects to a prudent institutional mortgage loan
lender and which contains customary leasehold mortgagee provisions and
protections, and which shall provide, among other things, (A) for a remaining
term of no less than the greater of (1) 20 years from the Maturity Date or (2)
10 years from the end of the scheduled amortization term of the Loan, (B) that

SECTION 2.6. PAYMENTS AFTER DEFAULT
Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default,
interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan and, to the extent
permitted by law, overdue interest and other amounts due in respect of the Loan,
(a) shall accrue at the Default Rate, and (b) Lender shall be entitled to
receive and Borrower shall pay to Lender all cash flow from the Property in
accordance with the terms of Article X hereof, such amount to be applied by
Lender to the payment of the Debt in such order as Lender shall determine in its
sole discretion, including, without limitation, alternating applications thereof
between interest and principal. Interest at the Default Rate shall be computed
from the occurrence of the Event of Default until the earlier of (i) the actual
receipt and collection of the Debt (or that portion thereof that is then due)
and (ii) the cure of such Event of Default. To the extent permitted by
applicable law, interest at the Default Rate shall be added to the Debt, shall
itself accrue interest at the same rate as the Loan and shall be secured by the
Mortgage. This paragraph shall not be construed as an agreement or privilege to
extend the date of the payment of the Debt, nor as a waiver of any other right
or remedy accruing to Lender by reason of the occurrence of any Event of
Default; the acceptance of any payment from Borrower shall not be deemed to cure
or constitute a waiver of any Event of Default; and Lender retains its rights
under this Agreement to accelerate and to continue to demand payment of the Debt
upon the happening of and during the continuance any Event of Default, despite
any payment by Borrower to Lender.
SECTION 2.7. USURY SAVINGS
This Agreement and the Note are subject to the express condition that
at no time shall Borrower be obligated or required to pay interest on the
principal balance of the Loan at a rate which could subject Lender to either
civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of the Maximum Legal
Rate. If, by the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Borrower
is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the principal balance
due hereunder at a rate in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate, the Note Rate or
the Default Rate, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be immediately reduced
to the Maximum Legal Rate and all previous payments in excess of the Maximum
Legal Rate shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of principal and
not on account of the interest due hereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid
to Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the sums due under the Loan,
shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated,
allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of the Loan until payment
in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Loan does not
exceed the Maximum Legal Rate of interest from time to time in effect and
applicable to the Loan for so long as the Loan is outstanding.

in form and substance satisfactory to Lender (including, without limitation, any
financial reports required to be delivered by any Tenant or any guarantor of any
Lease pursuant to the terms of such Lease), and shall furnish to Lender and its
agents convenient facilities for the examination and audit of any such books and
records.
(e) All items requiring the certification of Borrower shall,
except where Borrower is an individual, require a certificate executed by the
general partner, managing member or
- 50 -
authorized/senior officer of Borrower, as applicable (and the same rules shall
apply to any sole shareholder, general partner or managing member which is not

no event shall Borrower be required to comply with the financial reporting
requirements of Regulation S-X that would be applicable solely as a result of

Securitization.
SECTION 5.12. ESTOPPEL STATEMENT
(a) After request by Lender, Borrower shall within fifteen (15)
Business Days furnish Lender with a statement, duly acknowledged and certified,
setting forth (i) the amount of the original principal amount of the Note, (ii)
the rate of interest on the Note, (iii) the unpaid principal amount of the Note,
(iv) the date installments of interest and/or principal were last paid, (v) any
offsets or defenses to the payment of the Debt, if any, and (vi) that the Note,
this Agreement, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents are valid, legal and
binding obligations and have not been modified or if modified, giving
particulars of such modification.
(b) Borrower shall use its reasonable efforts to deliver to
Lender, promptly upon request, but subject to the terms of the applicable Major
Leases that are either Ground Leases or Operating Leases, duly executed estoppel
certificates from any one or more Tenants thereunder as required by Lender (but
no more frequently than once every twelve (12) months provided no Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing) attesting to such facts regarding the
related Lease as Lender may reasonably require, including, but not limited to
attestations that each Lease covered thereby is in full force and effect with no
defaults thereunder on the part of any party, that none of the Rents have been
paid more than one month in advance, except as security, and that the Tenant
claims no defense or offset against the full and timely performance of its
obligations under the Lease.
SECTION 5.13. LEASING MATTERS.
(a) Except as otherwise consented to by Lender in writing, all
Leases shall be written on the standard form of lease which shall have been (i)
with respect to pad Leases, delivered to Lender in connection with the closing
of the Loan and (ii) with respect to Operating Leases or Ground Leases, if any,
approved by Lender, provided however that Lender acknowledges that to the extent
any portion of the Property consists of a recreational vehicle resort, Borrower
shall not be required to enter into written Leases with any occupant or tenant
of such portion of the Property and such tenants and/or occupants of such
recreational vehicle resorts shall be deemed month to month tenants or licensees
of Borrower. So long as either Original Borrower or a Borrower Principal
Affiliate is Borrower under the Loan, Borrower may modify its standard form of
pad lease in accordance with sound business practices and Legal Requirements,
provided that the form of such Lease contains covenants and conditions that are
consistent with those contained in comparable leases in the applicable local
market. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the majority of owners,
managers and/or operators of comparable recreational vehicle resorts in the
applicable local market enter into written Leases with the occupants of
- 51 -
recreational vehicle resorts, Borrower shall be required to enter into written
Leases with respect to such occupants, and the form of such lease shall contain
terms and conditions that are consistent with those of Leases of comparable
properties in the applicable market or sub-market. Upon request, Borrower (1)
shall furnish Lender with executed copies of all Major Leases and (2) shall make
available to Lender at Borrower's offices (upon reasonable notice to Borrower),
executed copies of all other Leases. No material changes may be made to the
Lender-approved standard form of Operating Lease and Ground Lease, if
applicable, without the prior written consent of Lender. In addition, all
renewals of Leases and all proposed leases shall provide for rental rates and
terms comparable to existing local market rates and terms and, except with
respect to one pad at the Property used for on-site community managers (or other
employees of Manager), shall be arm's-length transactions with bona fide,
independent third party tenants. All proposed Major Leases and renewals of
existing Major Leases shall be subject to the prior approval of Lender and its
counsel, at Borrower's expense. All Leases shall provide that they are
subordinate to the Mortgage and that the tenant agrees to attorn to Lender.
(b) Borrower (i) shall observe and perform all the obligations
imposed upon the landlord under the Leases and shall not do or permit to be done
anything to impair the value of the Leases as security for the Debt; (ii) shall
enforce all of the material terms, covenants and conditions contained in the
Leases upon the part of the Tenant thereunder to be observed or performed, short
of termination thereof; provided however, with respect to pad leases, a pad
Lease may be terminated in the event of a default by the tenant thereunder;
(iii) with respect to any Leases (other than Leases relating to mobile home park
pads or recreational vehicle resort pads), shall not collect any of the Rents
more than one (1) month in advance; provided, however, that in no event shall
Borrower collect any Rents under Leases (or any other applicable occupancy
agreements (written or otherwise)) relating to mobile home park pads or
recreational vehicle resort pads more than one (1) year in advance; (iv) shall
not execute any other assignment of the landlord's interest in the Leases or the
Rents; and (v) shall not consent to any assignment of or subletting under the
Major Leases not in accordance with their terms, without the prior written
consent of Lender.
(c) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (a) above,
renewals of existing commercial Leases and proposed Leases for commercial space
shall not be subject to the prior approval of Lender, provided all of the
following conditions are satisfied: (i) the rental income pursuant to the
renewal or proposed Lease is not more than five (5%) percent of the total rental
income for the Property, (ii) the renewal or proposed Lease has a base term of
less than six (6) years including options to renew, (iii) no rent, credits, free
rents or concessions have been granted under the renewal or proposed Lease
(except to the extent consistent with current market conditions), (iv) the
renewal or proposed Lease is subject and subordinate to the Mortgage and the
tenant thereunder shall have agreed to attorn to Lender, (v) the renewal or
proposed Lease is on the standard form of lease approved by Lender, (vi) the
renewal or proposed Lease does not contain any option, offer, right of first
refusal, or other similar right to acquire all or any portion of the Property,
and (vii) the renewal or proposed Lease provides for rental rates and terms
comparable to existing market rates and terms and is an arm's-length transaction
with a bona fide, independent third party tenant. Borrower shall deliver to
Lender copies of all Leases which are entered into pursuant to the preceding
sentence together with Borrower's certification that it has satisfied all of the
conditions of the preceding sentence within thirty (30) days after the execution

satisfactory to Lender, it being understood and agreed that the management fee
for such replacement manager shall not exceed then prevailing market rates.
(c) Intentionally deleted.
(d) Any entity Controlled by MHC or MHCOP shall be deemed
Qualified Manager. Borrower shall not, without the prior written consent of
Lender (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or
delayed): (i) surrender, terminate or cancel the Management Agreement or
otherwise replace Manager or enter into any other management agreement with
respect to the Property; (ii) reduce or consent to the reduction of the term of
the Management Agreement; (iii) increase or consent to the increase of the
amount of any charges under the Management Agreement; or (iv) otherwise modify,
change, supplement, alter or amend, or waive or release any of its rights and
remedies under, the Management Agreement in any material respect, provided,
however, that if Manager is Controlled by MHC or MHCOP, then Borrower shall have
the right to enter into amendments to the Management Agreement (1) which are
consistent with good operating practices, (2) which do not increase any of the
fees or other similar charges payable by Borrower thereunder and (3) which do
not otherwise materially increase any of Borrower's obligations thereunder, and
Borrower shall have the right to enter into a new management agreement with
another entity Controlled by MHC or MHCOP on substantially the same terms and
conditions as those set forth in the Management Agreement approved by Lender in
connection with the closing of the Loan and otherwise in accordance with the
terms permitted hereunder, without the consent of Lender. In the event that
Borrower replaces Manager at any time during the term of Loan pursuant to this
subsection, such Manager shall be a Qualified Manager.
- 53 -

by any Person, except for adequate consideration and in the ordinary course of
Borrower's business.
SECTION 5.17. ZONING
Borrower shall not initiate or consent to any zoning reclassification
of any portion of the Property or seek any variance under any existing zoning
ordinance or use or permit the use of any portion of the Property in any manner
that could result in such use becoming a non-conforming use under any zoning
ordinance or any other applicable land use law, rule or regulation, without the
prior written consent of Lender.
SECTION 5.18. ERISA
(a) Borrower shall not engage in any transaction which would cause
any obligation, or action taken or to be taken, hereunder (or the exercise by
Lender of any of its rights under the Note, this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents) to be a non-exempt (under a statutory or administrative class
exemption) prohibited transaction under ERISA.
(b) Borrower further covenants and agrees to deliver to Lender
such certifications or other evidence from time to time throughout the term of
the Loan, as requested by Lender in its sole discretion, that (i) Borrower is

Borrower shall not enter into, terminate or modify (in any material
respects) any REA without Lender's prior written consent, which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Borrower shall enforce,
comply with, and cause each of the parties to the REA to comply with all of the
material economic terms and conditions contained in the REA. Lender acknowledges
that it would be unreasonable to withhold its consent to Borrower entering into
an REA with an Affiliate owning property adjacent to the Property with respect
to the use of certain amenities and facilities at the Property, provided that
(A) any such REA would not (i) have a material adverse affect on the Property or
the Borrower, (ii) impose any material obligations on the Borrower, (B) the
terms of any such REA provide that Borrower shall be paid fair market value for

SECTION 5.21. ALTERATIONS
Lender's prior approval shall be required in connection with any
alterations to any Improvements, exclusive of alterations to tenant spaces
required under any Lease, (a) that may have a material adverse effect on the
Property or (b) that, together with any other alterations undertaken at the same
time (including any related alterations, improvements or replacements), are
reasonably anticipated to have a cost in excess of the Alteration Threshold.
Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (b) above and provided that either
the Original Borrower or a Borrower Principal Affiliate is Borrower under the
Loan, Lender's prior approval shall not be required in connection with any
alterations in excess of the Alteration Threshold, provided that Lender shall
have received (a) a current Appraisal of the Property (or a letter update to the
Appraisal delivered in connection with the closing of the Loan), (b) a
certificate from Borrower and (c) such other evidence that would be satisfactory
to a prudent institutional mortgage loan lender each indicating that such
alterations will not impair (as security for the Loan) the fair market value of
the real estate collateral portion of the Property, as determined by a prudent
institutional secondary market lender. If the total unpaid amounts incurred and
to be incurred with respect to such alterations to the Improvements shall at any
time exceed the Alteration Threshold and regardless of whether Lender's consent

deliver to Lender as security for the payment of such amounts and as additional
security for Borrower's obligations under the Loan Documents any of the
following: (i) cash, (ii) direct non-callable obligations of the United States
of America or other obligations which are "government securities" within the
meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, to the extent
acceptable to the applicable Rating Agencies, (iii) other securities acceptable
to Lender and the Rating Agencies, or (iv) a completion bond,
- 55 -
provided that such completion bond is acceptable to the Lender and the Rating

unpaid amounts incurred and to be incurred with respect to such alterations to
the Improvements over the Alteration Threshold.

as if such representation, warranty or covenant was made directly by

required.
(b) In the event Borrower is a single member Delaware limited
liability company, the limited liability company agreement of Borrower (the "LLC

transferee in accordance with the Loan Documents and the LLC Agreement, or (B)
the resignation of Member and the admission of an additional member of Borrower
in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and the LLC Agreement), any
person acting as Independent Director of Borrower shall, without any action of
any other Person and simultaneously with the Member ceasing to be the member of
Borrower, automatically be admitted to Borrower ("SPECIAL MEMBER") and shall

from Borrower or transfer its rights as Special Member unless (A) a successor
Special Member has been admitted to Borrower as Special Member in accordance

company interest in Borrower, (iv) Special Member, in its capacity as Special
Member, may not bind Borrower and (v) except as required by any mandatory
provision of the Act, Special Member, in its capacity as Special Member, shall
have no right to vote on, approve or otherwise consent to any action by, or
matter relating to, Borrower, including, without limitation, the merger,
consolidation or conversion of Borrower; provided, however, such prohibition
shall not limit the obligations of Special Member, in its capacity as
Independent Director, to vote on such matters required by the Loan Documents or
the LLC Agreement. In order to implement the admission to Borrower of Special
Member, Special Member shall execute a counterpart to the LLC Agreement. Prior
to its admission to Borrower as Special Member, Special Member shall not be a
member of Borrower.
Upon the occurrence of any event that causes the Member to cease to be
a member of Borrower, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the personal
representative of Member shall, within ninety (90) days after the occurrence of
the event that terminated the continued membership of Member in Borrower, agree
in writing (i) to continue Borrower and (ii) to the admission of the personal
representative or its nominee or designee, as the case may be, as a substitute
member of Borrower, effective as of the occurrence of the event that terminated
the continued membership of Member of Borrower in Borrower. Any action initiated
by or brought against Member or Special Member under any Creditors Rights Laws
shall not cause Member or Special Member to cease to be a member of Borrower and
upon the occurrence of such an event, the business of Borrower shall continue
without dissolution. The LLC Agreement shall provide that each of Member and
Special Member waives any right it might have to agree in writing to dissolve
Borrower upon the occurrence of any action initiated by or brought against
Member or Special Member under any Creditors Rights Laws, or the occurrence of
an event that causes Member or Special Member to cease to be a member of
Borrower.

obtaining the prior written consent of Lender. In addition, Borrower shall not
change or permit to be changed any organizational documents of Borrower or any
SPE Component Entity (if any) if such change would adversely impact the
covenants set forth in Section 6.1 and Section 6.4 hereof. Borrower authorizes
Lender to file any financing statement or financing statement amendment required
by Lender to establish or maintain the validity, perfection and priority of the
security interest granted herein. At the request of Lender, Borrower shall
execute a certificate in form satisfactory to Lender listing the trade names
under which Borrower intends to operate the Property, and representing and
warranting that Borrower does business under no other trade name with respect to
the Property. If Borrower does not now have an organizational identification
number and later obtains one, or if the organizational identification number
assigned to Borrower subsequently changes, Borrower shall promptly notify Lender
of such organizational identification number or change.

creditor or customer.
(b) The organizational documents of Borrower or each SPE Component
Entity (if any), as the case may be, shall provide that the manager of Borrower
or such SPE Component Entity, as applicable, shall not take any action which,
under the terms of any articles of organization or operating agreement, as
applicable, requires an unanimous vote of the members
- 60 -

SECTION 7.4. LENDER'S RIGHTS
Lender reserves the right to condition the consent to a Prohibited
Transfer requested hereunder upon (a) a modification of the terms hereof and an
assumption of the Note and the
- 62 -
other Loan Documents as so modified by the proposed Prohibited Transfer, (b)
receipt of payment of a transfer fee equal to one percent (1%) of the
outstanding principal balance of the Loan and all of Lender's expenses incurred
in connection with such Prohibited Transfer, (c) receipt of written confirmation
from the Rating Agencies that the Prohibited Transfer will not result in a
downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the initial, or if higher, then
current ratings issued in connection with a Securitization, or if a
Securitization has not occurred, any ratings to be assigned in connection with a
Securitization, (d) the proposed transferee's continued compliance with the
covenants set forth in this Agreement (including, without limitation, the

satisfaction of such other conditions and/or legal opinions as Lender shall
determine in its sole discretion to be in the interest of Lender. All expenses
incurred by Lender shall be payable by Borrower whether or not Lender consents
to the Prohibited Transfer. Lender shall not be required to demonstrate any
actual impairment of its security or any increased risk of default hereunder in
order to declare the Debt immediately due and payable upon a Prohibited Transfer
made without Lender's consent. This provision shall apply to each and every
Prohibited Transfer, whether or not Lender has consented to any previous
Prohibited Transfer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Section 7.4, in the event a substantive non-consolidation opinion was delivered
to Lender and the Rating Agencies in connection with the closing of the Loan,
and if any Sale or Pledge permitted under this Article 7 results in any Person
and its Affiliates owning in excess of forty-nine percent (49%) of the ownership
interests in a Restricted Party, Borrower shall, prior to such transfer, and in
addition to any other requirement for Lender consent contained herein, deliver a
revised substantive non-consolidation opinion to Lender reflecting such
Prohibited Transfer, which opinion shall be in form, scope and substance
acceptable in all respects to Lender and the Rating Agencies.
SECTION 7.5. ASSUMPTION
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article 7, Lender
shall not unreasonably withhold consent to a transfer of the Property in its
entirety to, and the related assumption of the Loan by, any Person (a
"TRANSFEREE") and Lender shall release Borrower and Borrower Principal from

events occurring after the date of the assumption), provided that each of the
following terms and conditions are satisfied:
(a) no Default or Event of Default has occurred;
(b) Borrower shall have (i) delivered written notice to Lender of

approve or disapprove the proposed transfer based on its then current
underwriting and credit requirements for similar loans secured by similar
properties which loans are sold in the secondary market, such approval not to be
unreasonably withheld. In determining whether to give or withhold its approval
of the proposed transfer, Lender shall consider the experience and track record
of
- 63 -
Transferee and its principals in owning and operating facilities similar to the
Property, the financial strength of Transferee and its principals, the general
business standing of Transferee and its principals and Transferee's and its
principals' 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 and, if given, may be
given subject to such conditions as Lender may deem reasonably appropriate;
(c) Borrower shall have paid to Lender, concurrently with the
closing of such transfer, (i) a non-refundable assumption fee in an amount equal
to one percent (1.0%) of the then outstanding principal balance of the Note

(ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including reasonable
attorneys' fees, incurred by Lender in connection with the transfer;
(d) Transferee assumes and agrees to pay the Debt as and when due
subject to the provisions of Article 15 hereof and, prior to or concurrently
with the closing of such transfer, Transferee and its constituent partners,
members or shareholders as Lender may require, shall execute, without any cost
or expense to Lender, such documents and agreements as Lender shall reasonably
require to evidence and effectuate said assumption;
(e) Borrower and Transferee, without any cost to Lender, shall
furnish any information requested by Lender for the preparation of, and shall
authorize Lender to file, new financing statements and financing statement
amendments and other documents to the fullest extent permitted by applicable
law, and shall execute any additional documents reasonably requested by Lender;
(f) Borrower shall have delivered to Lender, without any cost or
expense to Lender, such endorsements to Lender's Title Insurance Policy insuring
that fee simple or leasehold title to the Property, as applicable, is vested in
Transferee (subject to Permitted Encumbrances), hazard insurance endorsements or
certificates and other similar materials as Lender may deem necessary at the
time of the transfer, all in form and substance satisfactory to Lender;
(g) Transferee shall have furnished to Lender, if Transferee is a
corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other entity, all
appropriate papers evidencing Transferee's organization and good standing, and
the qualification of the signers to execute the assumption of the Debt, which
papers shall include certified copies of all documents relating to the
organization and formation of Transferee and of the entities, if any, which are
partners or members of Transferee. Transferee and such constituent partners,
members or shareholders of Transferee (as the case may be), as Lender shall
require, shall comply with the covenants set forth in Article 6 hereof;
(h) Transferee shall assume the obligations of Borrower under any
Management Agreement or provide a new management agreement with a new manager
which meets with the requirements of Section 5.14 hereof and assign to Lender as
additional security such new management agreement;
- 64 -
(i) Transferee shall furnish an opinion of counsel satisfactory to
Lender and its counsel (A) that Transferee's formation documents provide for the
matters described in subparagraph (g) above, (B) that the assumption of the Debt
has been duly authorized, executed and delivered, and that the Note, the
Mortgage, this Agreement, the assumption agreement and the other Loan Documents
are valid, binding and enforceable against Transferee in accordance with their
terms, (C) that Transferee and any entity which is a controlling stockholder,
member or general partner of Transferee, have been duly organized, and are in
existence and good standing, and (E) with respect to such other matters as
Lender may reasonably request;
(j) if required by Lender, Lender shall have received confirmation
in writing from the Rating Agencies that rate the Securities to the effect that
the transfer will not result in a qualification, downgrade or withdrawal of any
rating initially assigned or to be assigned to the Securities;
(k) Borrower's obligations under the contract of sale pursuant to
which the transfer is proposed to occur shall expressly be subject to the
satisfaction of the terms and conditions of this Section 7.5; and
(l) in the event a substantive non-consolidation opinion was
delivered to Lender in connection with the closing of the Loan, Transferee
shall, prior to such transfer, deliver a new or updated substantive
non-consolidation opinion to Lender, which opinion shall be in form, scope and
substance acceptable in all respects to Lender and the Rating Agencies.
A consent by Lender with respect to a transfer of the Property in its entirety
to, and the related assumption of the Loan by, a Transferee pursuant to this
Section 7.5 shall not be construed to be a waiver of the right of Lender to
consent to any subsequent transfer of the Property. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained in this Section 7.5, prior to a Securitization Lender's
consent to any transfer of the Property and assumption of the Loan pursuant to
this Section 7.5 shall not be required if the consideration to be paid to
Borrower by the proposed Transferee is less than the appraised value of the
Property as determined by Lender.
SECTION 7.6. INTENTIONALLY DELETED.

by, an Affiliate of Borrower (i) in which Borrower Principal owns, directly or
indirectly, at least a 70% ownership interest or (ii) in which MHCOP owns,
directly or indirectly, at least a 99% ownership interest (an "AFFILIATE

Affiliate Transferee is a corporation, partnership, limited liability company or
other entity, all appropriate papers evidencing Affiliate Transferee's
organization and good standing, and the qualification of the signers to execute
the assumption of the Debt, which papers shall include certified copies of all
documents relating to the organization and formation of Affiliate Transferee and
of the entities, if any, which are partners or members of Affiliate Transferee.
Affiliate Transferee and such constituent partners, members or shareholders of
Affiliate Transferee (as the case may be), as Lender shall require, shall comply
with the covenants set forth in Article 6 hereof;
(g) Affiliate Transferee shall (i) assume the obligations of
Borrower under any Management Agreement as they relate to the Affiliate Transfer
Portion of the Property, provided, however, that in the event the Affiliate
Transfer Portion of the Property is operated solely as a sewage treatment and/or

Manager does not perform any services with respect to the Affiliate Transfer
Portion of the Property), Affiliate Transferee shall not be required to assume
the obligations of Borrower under the Management Agreement, and (ii) if
applicable, execute an assignment to Lender of such Management Agreement as
additional security for the Loan;

(i) if required by Lender, Lender shall have received confirmation
in writing from the Rating Agencies that rate the Securities to the effect that
the transfer will not result in a qualification, downgrade or withdrawal of any
rating initially assigned or to be assigned to the Securities;
(j) Borrower's obligations under the contract of sale, if any,
pursuant to which the transfer is proposed to occur shall expressly be subject
to the satisfaction of the terms and conditions of this Section 7.7;
(k) in the event an Insolvency Opinion was delivered to Lender in
connection with the closing of the Loan, Borrower and Affiliate Transferee
shall, prior to such transfer and assumption, deliver a new or updated
Insolvency Opinion to Lender, which opinion shall be in form, scope and
substance acceptable in all respects to Lender and the Rating Agencies;
(l) Borrower shall deliver to Lender evidence which would be

in compliance in all material respects with applicable Legal Requirements and
constitutes a separate tax lot and (iii) the Affiliate Transfer Portion of the
Property is not necessary for the Property to comply with any zoning, building,
land use or parking or other Legal Requirements applicable to the Property or
for the then current use of the Property, including, without limitation, for

required pursuant to subsection 7.7(l)(iii) hereof that has been executed and

that fee simple or leasehold title to the Affiliate Transfer Portion of the
Property, as applicable, is vested in Affiliate Transferee (subject to Permitted
Encumbrances), hazard insurance endorsements or certificates and other similar
materials as Lender may deem necessary at the time of the transfer, all in form
and substance satisfactory to Lender;

executed by any entities other than Lender holding Liens encumbering the
Property or the Affiliate Transfer Portion of the
- 67 -
Property (or holding any other interest therein that would be affected by the

(o) Borrower and Affiliate Transferee have complied with any
requirements applicable to the transfer in any Major Leases, REA's, operating

result in a termination (or give any other party thereto the right to
terminate), extinguishment or other loss of material right of Borrower or in a
material increase in Borrower's obligations under such documents and, to the

directly or indirectly result in or cause any REMIC Trust that then holds the

REMIC Trust to be an "investment company" under the Investment Company Act of
1940, at Borrower's cost; and

and documents which would be required by a prudent Lender in connection with
such transfer and assumption.
A consent by Lender with respect to a transfer of a portion of the
Property to, and the related assumption of the Loan by, an Affiliate Transferee
pursuant to this Section 7.7 shall not be construed to be a waiver of the right
of Lender to consent to any subsequent transfer of the Property or assumption of
the Loan. Notwithstanding any transfer and assumption to an Affiliate Transferee
pursuant to this Section 7.7, the Property and the Affiliate Transfer Portion of
the Property shall be deemed a single Property for purposes of this Agreement
and the Loan.

Lender pursuant to this subsection shall be held by Lender and shall be
applied to the obligations secured by the Loan Documents from time to

located.
- 70 -
(b) All insurance provided for in Section 8.1(a) shall be obtained
under valid and enforceable policies (collectively, the "POLICIES" or in the

mortgagees and/or loss payee as deemed appropriate by Lender. To the extent such
Policies are not available as of the Closing Date, Borrower shall deliver
certified copies of all Policies to Lender not later than thirty (30) days after
the Closing Date. Not less than ten (10) days prior to the expiration dates of
the Policies theretofore furnished to Lender, Borrower shall deliver to Lender
certificates evidencing renewal of the Policies (such certificates, the
"INSURANCE CERTIFICATES")accompanied by evidence satisfactory to Lender of
payment of the premiums due thereunder (the "INSURANCE PREMIUMS") and within
sixty (60) days after the expiration date of such Policies, Borrower shall
deliver to Lender renewal Policies

except for the Policy referenced in Section 8.1(a)(v), shall name Borrower as

clauses or endorsements to the effect that:
(i) no act or negligence of Borrower, or anyone acting
for Borrower, or of any Tenant or other occupant, or failure to comply
with the provisions of any Policy, which might otherwise result in a
forfeiture of the insurance or any part thereof, shall in any way
affect the validity or enforceability of the insurance insofar as
Lender is concerned;
(ii) the Policies shall not be materially changed (other
than to increase the coverage provided thereby) or canceled without at
least thirty (30) days' prior written notice to Lender and any other
party named therein as an additional insured;
(iii) the issuers thereof shall give written notice to
Lender if the Policies have not been renewed thirty (30) days prior to
its expiration; and
(iv) Lender shall not be liable for any Insurance Premiums
thereon or subject to any assessments thereunder.
- 71 -
(f) If at any time Lender is not in receipt of written evidence
that all insurance required hereunder is in full force and effect, Lender shall
have the right, without notice to Borrower, to take such action as Lender deems
necessary to protect its interest in the Property, including, without
limitation, obtaining such insurance coverage as Lender in its sole discretion
deems appropriate. All premiums incurred by Lender in connection with such
action or in obtaining such insurance and keeping it in effect shall be paid by
Borrower to Lender upon demand and, until paid, shall be secured by the Mortgage
and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.
SECTION 8.2. CASUALTY
If the Property shall be damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part in
any material respect, by fire or other casualty (a "CASUALTY"), Borrower shall
give prompt notice of such damage to Lender and shall promptly commence and
diligently prosecute the Restoration of the Property in accordance with Section
8.4, whether or not Lender makes any Net Proceeds available pursuant to Section
8.4. Borrower shall pay all costs of such Restoration whether or not such costs
are covered by insurance. Lender may, but shall not be obligated to make proof
of loss if not made promptly by Borrower. Borrower shall adjust all claims for
Insurance Proceeds in consultation with, and approval of, Lender; provided,
however, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender shall
have the exclusive right to participate in the adjustment of all claims for
Insurance Proceeds.
SECTION 8.3. CONDEMNATION
Borrower shall promptly give Lender notice of the actual or threatened
commencement of any proceeding for the Condemnation of the Property of which
Borrower has knowledge and shall deliver to Lender copies of any and all papers
served in connection with such proceedings. Lender may participate in any such
proceedings, and Borrower shall from time to time deliver to Lender all
instruments requested by it to permit such participation. Borrower shall, at its
expense, diligently prosecute any such proceedings, and shall consult with
Lender, its attorneys and experts, and cooperate with them in the carrying on or
defense of any such proceedings. Notwithstanding any taking by any public or
quasi-public authority through Condemnation or otherwise (including but not
limited to any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of the exercise of
such taking), Borrower shall continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the
manner provided for its payment in the Note and in this Agreement and the Debt
shall not be reduced until any Award shall have been actually received and
applied by Lender, after the deduction of expenses of collection, to the
reduction or discharge of the Debt. Lender shall not be limited to the interest
paid on the Award by the condemning authority but shall be entitled to receive
out of the Award interest at the rate or rates provided herein or in the Note.
If the Property or any portion thereof is taken by a condemning authority,
Borrower shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the Restoration of the
Property and otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 8.4, whether or not
Lender makes any Net Proceeds available pursuant to Section 8.4. If the Property
is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Lender of the
Award, Lender shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the
Note shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive the Award, or a
portion thereof sufficient to pay the Debt.
- 72 -
SECTION 8.4. RESTORATION
The following provisions shall apply in connection with the Restoration
of the Property:
(a) If the Net Proceeds shall be less than $250,000 and the costs
of completing the Restoration shall be less than $250,000, the Net Proceeds will
be disbursed by Lender to Borrower upon receipt, provided that all of the
conditions set forth in Section 8.4(b)(i) are met and Borrower delivers to
Lender a written undertaking to expeditiously commence and to satisfactorily
complete with due diligence the Restoration in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement.
(b) If the Net Proceeds are equal to or greater than $250,000 or
the costs of completing the Restoration are equal to or greater than $250,000,
Lender shall make the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration in accordance
with the provisions of this Section 8.4. The term "NET PROCEEDS" for purposes of
this Section 8.4 shall mean: (i) the net amount of all insurance proceeds
received by Lender pursuant to Section 8.1(a)(i), (iv), (vi) and (viii) as a
result of a Casualty, after deduction of its reasonable costs and expenses
(including, but not limited to, reasonable counsel fees), if any, in collecting
the same ("INSURANCE PROCEEDS"), or (ii) the net amount of the Award as a result
of a Condemnation, after deduction of its reasonable costs and expenses
(including, but not limited to, reasonable counsel fees), if any, in collecting
the same ("CONDEMNATION PROCEEDS"), whichever the case may be.
(i) The Net Proceeds shall be made available to Borrower
for Restoration provided that each of the following conditions are met:
(A) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing;
(B) (1) in the event the Net Proceeds are Insurance
Proceeds, less than twenty-five percent (25%) of the mobile
home and/or recreational vehicle pads, as applicable, on the
Property shall be rendered unusable for a period in excess of
twelve (12) months as a result of a Casualty or (2) in the
event the Net Proceeds are Condemnation Proceeds, less than
fifteen percent (15%) of the rentable area of the Property and
fifteen percent (15%) of the fair market value of the Land
constituting the Property is taken, such land is located along
the perimeter or periphery of the Property, and no portion of
the permanent Improvements is located on such land;
(C) intentionally deleted;
(D) Borrower shall commence the Restoration as soon
as reasonably practicable (but in no event later than sixty
(60) days after such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the
case may be, occurs) and shall diligently pursue the same to
satisfactory completion;
(E) Lender shall be satisfied that any operating
deficits, including all scheduled payments of principal and
interest under the Note, which will be incurred with respect
to the Property as a result of the occurrence of any such
- 73 -
Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, will be
covered out of the insurance coverage referred to in Section
8.1(a)(iii) above;
(F) Lender shall be satisfied that the Restoration
will be completed on or before the earliest to occur of (1)
six (6) months prior to the Maturity Date, (2) the earliest
date required for such completion under the terms of any Major
Leases, Ground Leases, if applicable, Operating Leases, if
applicable, or material agreements affecting the Property, (3)
such time as may be required under applicable zoning law,
ordinance, rule or regulation, or (4) the expiration of the
insurance coverage referred to in Section 8.1(a)(iii);
(G) the Property and the use thereof after the
Restoration will be in compliance with and permitted under all
Legal Requirements;
(H) the Restoration shall be done and completed by
Borrower in an expeditious and diligent fashion and in
compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements;
(I) such Casualty or Condemnation, as applicable,
does not result in the loss of access to the Property or the
Improvements;
(J) Borrower shall deliver, or cause to be delivered,
to Lender a signed detailed budget approved in writing by
Borrower's architect or engineer stating the entire cost of
completing the Restoration, which budget shall be reasonably
acceptable to Lender; and
(K) the Net Proceeds together with any cash or cash
equivalent deposited by Borrower with Lender are sufficient in
Lender's reasonable judgment to cover the cost of the
Restoration.
(ii) The Net Proceeds shall be held by Lender until
disbursements commence, and, until disbursed in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 8.4, shall constitute additional security
for the Debt and other obligations under the Loan Documents. The Net
Proceeds shall be disbursed by Lender to, or as directed by, Borrower
on a monthly basis during the course of the Restoration in accordance
with customary construction lending practices, upon receipt of evidence
satisfactory to Lender that (A) all the conditions precedent to such
advance, including those set forth in Section 8.4(b)(i), have been
satisfied, (B) all materials installed and work and labor performed
(except to the extent that they are to be paid for out of the requested
disbursement) in connection with the related Restoration item have been
paid for in full, and (C) there exist no notices of pendency, stop
orders, mechanic's or materialman's liens or notices of intention to
file same, or any other liens or encumbrances of any nature whatsoever
on the Property which have not either been fully bonded to the
satisfaction of Lender and discharged of record or in the alternative
fully insured to the satisfaction of Lender by the title company
issuing the Title Insurance Policy. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Insurance Proceeds from the Policies required to be maintained by
Borrower pursuant to Section 8.1(a)(iii) shall be controlled by Lender
at all times, shall not be subject to the provisions of this
- 74 -
Section 8.4 and shall be used for the payment of all of the obligations
due and payable under the Loan Documents for the entire time period for
which any such Insurance Proceeds relate. After such application of the
Insurance Proceeds, the remaining balance, if any, of any such proceeds
shall be disbursed and/or applied as follows: (A) provided no Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, to Borrower and (B) upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to
Operating Expenses.
(iii) All plans and specifications required in connection
with the Restoration shall be subject to prior review and acceptance in
all respects by Lender and to the extent the Restoration relates to any
permanent Improvements on the Property, by an independent consulting
engineer selected by Lender (the "Restoration Consultant"). Lender
shall have the use of the plans and specifications and all permits,
licenses and approvals required or obtained in connection with the
Restoration. To the extent the Restoration relates to any permanent
Improvements on the Property, the identity of the contractors,
subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration, as well as
the contracts in excess of $100,000 under which they have been engaged,
shall be subject to prior review and acceptance by Lender and the
Restoration Consultant. All costs and expenses incurred by Lender in
connection with making the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration,
including, without limitation, reasonable counsel fees and
disbursements and the Restoration Consultant's fees, shall be paid by
Borrower.
(iv) In no event shall Lender be obligated to make
disbursements of the Net Proceeds in excess of an amount equal to the
costs actually incurred from time to time for work in place as part of
the Restoration, as certified by the Restoration Consultant, minus the
Restoration Retainage. The term "Restoration Retainage" shall mean an
amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the costs actually incurred for
work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the
Restoration Consultant, until the Restoration has been completed. The
Restoration Retainage shall be reduced to five percent (5%) of the
costs incurred upon receipt by Lender of satisfactory evidence that
fifty percent (50%) of the Restoration has been completed. The
Restoration Retainage shall in no event, and notwithstanding anything
to the contrary set forth above in this Section 8.4(b), be less than
the amount actually held back by Borrower from contractors,
subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration. The
Restoration Retainage shall not be released until the Restoration
Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed
in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.4(b) and that all
approvals necessary for the re-occupancy and use of the Property have
been obtained from all appropriate Governmental Authorities, and Lender
receives evidence satisfactory to Lender that the costs of the
Restoration have been paid in full or will be paid in full out of the
Restoration Retainage; provided, however, that Lender will release the
portion of the Restoration Retainage being held with respect to any
contractor, subcontractor or materialman engaged in the Restoration as
of the date upon which the Restoration Consultant certifies to Lender
that the contractor, subcontractor or materialman has satisfactorily
completed all work and has supplied all materials in accordance with
the provisions of the contractor's, subcontractor's or materialman's
contract, the contractor, subcontractor or materialman delivers the
lien waivers and evidence of payment in full of all sums due to the
contractor, subcontractor or materialman as may be reasonably requested
by Lender or by the title company issuing the Title Insurance Policy,
and
- 75 -
Lender receives an endorsement to the Title Insurance Policy insuring
the continued priority of the lien of the Mortgage and evidence of
payment of any premium payable for such endorsement. If required by
Lender, the release of any such portion of the Restoration Retainage
shall be approved by the surety company, if any, which has issued a
payment or performance bond with respect to the contractor,
subcontractor or materialman.
(v) Lender shall not be obligated to make disbursements
of the Net Proceeds more frequently than once every calendar month.
(vi) If at any time the Net Proceeds or the undisbursed
balance thereof shall not, in the reasonable opinion of Lender in
consultation with the Restoration Consultant, as applicable, be
sufficient to pay in full the balance of the costs which are estimated
to be incurred in connection with the completion of the Restoration,
Borrower shall deposit the deficiency (the "Net Proceeds Deficiency")
with Lender before any further disbursement of the Net Proceeds shall
be made. The Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender shall be
held by Lender and shall be disbursed for costs actually incurred in
connection with the Restoration on the same conditions applicable to
the disbursement of the Net Proceeds, and until so disbursed pursuant
to this Section 8.4(b) shall constitute additional security for the
Debt and other obligations under the Loan Documents.
(vii) The excess, if any, of the Net Proceeds and the
remaining balance, if any, of the Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited
with Lender after Borrower and the Restoration Consultant, to the
extent applicable, certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been
completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.4(b), and
the receipt by Lender of evidence satisfactory to Lender that all costs
incurred in connection with the Restoration have been paid in full,
shall be remitted by Lender to Borrower, provided no Event of Default
shall have occurred and shall be continuing under the Note, this
Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.
(c) All Net Proceeds not required (i) to be made available for the
Restoration or (ii) to be returned to Borrower as excess Net Proceeds pursuant
to Section 8.4(b)(vii) may (x) be retained and applied by Lender toward the
payment of the Debt whether or not then due and payable in such order, priority
and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall deem proper, or, (y) at
the sole discretion of Lender, the same may be paid, either in whole or in part,
to Borrower for such purposes and upon such conditions as Lender shall
designate.
(d) In the event of foreclosure of the Mortgage, or other transfer
of title to the Property in extinguishment in whole or in part of the Debt, all
right, title and interest of Borrower in and to the Policies then in force
concerning the Property and all proceeds payable thereunder shall thereupon vest
in the purchaser at such foreclosure, Lender or other transferee in the event of
such other transfer of title.

ARTICLE 9
RESERVE FUNDS
SECTION 9.1. REQUIRED REPAIRS
(a) Borrower shall make the repairs and improvements to the
Property set forth on Schedule 2 and as more particularly described in the
Physical Conditions Report prepared in connection with the closing of the Loan
(such repairs hereinafter referred to as "REQUIRED REPAIRS"). Borrower shall
complete the Required Repairs in a good and workmanlike manner on or before the
date that is twelve (12) months from the date hereof or within such other time
frame for completion specifically set forth on Schedule 2.
SECTION 9.2. REPLACEMENTS
(a) On an ongoing basis throughout the term of the Loan, Borrower
shall make capital repairs, replacements and improvements necessary to keep the
Property in good order and repair and in a good marketable condition or prevent
deterioration of the Property ("REPLACEMENTS"). Borrower shall complete all
Replacements in a good and workmanlike manner as soon as commercially reasonable
after commencing to make each such Replacement.
(b) Borrower shall establish on the date hereof an Eligible
Account with Lender or Lender's agent to fund the Replacements (the "REPLACEMENT
RESERVE ACCOUNT"). In addition, Borrower shall deposit $4.17 monthly per pad
(the "REPLACEMENT RESERVE MONTHLY DEPOSIT") into the Replacement Reserve Account
on each Scheduled Payment Date during any Replacement Reserve Period. Amounts so
deposited shall hereinafter be referred to as "REPLACEMENT RESERVE FUNDS."
SECTION 9.3. INTENTIONALLY DELETED.
SECTION 9.4. REQUIRED WORK.
Borrower shall diligently pursue all Required Repairs and Replacements
(collectively, the "REQUIRED WORK") to completion in accordance with the
following requirements:
(a) Lender reserves the right, at its option, to approve all
contracts or work orders with materialmen, mechanics, suppliers, subcontractors,
contractors or other parties providing labor or materials in connection with the
Required Work to the extent such contracts or work orders exceed $100,000. Upon
Lender's request, Borrower shall assign any contract or subcontract to Lender.
(b) In the event Lender determines in its reasonable discretion
that any Required Work is not being or has not been performed in a workmanlike
or timely manner, upon ten (10) days notice to Borrower and Borrower's failure
to commence performance of such Required Work in accordance with this Section
9.4, Lender shall have the option to withhold disbursement for such
unsatisfactory Required Work and to proceed under existing contracts or to
contract with third parties to complete such Required Work and to apply
Replacement Reserve Funds, if any, toward the labor and materials necessary to
complete such Required Work, without
- 77 -
providing any prior notice to Borrower and to exercise any and all other
remedies available to Lender upon an Event of Default hereunder.
(c) In order to facilitate Lender's completion of the Required
Work, as permitted in subsection 9.4(b) above, Borrower grants Lender the right
to enter onto the Property and perform any and all work and labor necessary to
complete the Required Work and/or employ watchmen to protect the Property from
damage. All sums so expended by Lender, to the extent not from the Reserve
Funds, shall be deemed to have been advanced under the Loan to Borrower and
secured by the Mortgage. For this purpose Borrower constitutes and appoints
Lender its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution to
complete or undertake the Required Work in the name of Borrower upon Borrower's
failure to do so in a workmanlike and timely manner. Such power of attorney
shall be deemed to be a power coupled with an interest and cannot be revoked.
Borrower empowers said attorney-in-fact as follows: (i) to use any of the
Reserve Funds for the purpose of making or completing the Required Work; (ii) to
make such additions, changes and corrections to the Required Work as shall be
reasonably necessary to complete the Required Work; (iii) to employ such
contractors, subcontractors, agents, architects and inspectors as shall be
required for such purposes; (iv) to pay, settle or compromise all existing bills
and claims which are or may become Liens against the Property, or as may be
reasonably necessary for the completion of the Required Work, or for clearance
of title; (v) to execute all applications and certificates in the name of
Borrower which may be required by any of the contract documents; (vi) to
prosecute and defend all actions or proceedings in connection with the Property
or the rehabilitation and repair of the Property; and (vii) to do any and every
act which Borrower would be required to do on its own behalf to fulfill the
terms of this Agreement.
(d) Nothing in this Section 9.4 shall: (i) make Lender responsible
for making or completing the Required Work; (ii) require Lender to expend funds
in addition to the Reserve Funds to make or complete any Required Work; (iii)
obligate Lender to proceed with the Required Work; or (iv) obligate Lender to
demand from Borrower additional sums to make or complete any Required Work.
(e) Borrower shall permit Lender and Lender's agents and
representatives (including, without limitation, Lender's engineer, architect, or
inspector) or third parties performing Required Work pursuant to this Section
9.4 to enter onto the Property during normal business hours (subject to the
rights of tenants under their Leases) to inspect the progress of any Required
Work and all materials being used in connection therewith, to examine all plans
and shop drawings relating to such Required Work which are or may be kept at the
Property, and to complete any Required Work made pursuant to this Section 9.4.
Borrower shall cause all contractors and subcontractors to cooperate with Lender
and Lender's representatives or such other persons described above in connection
with inspections described in this Section 9.4 or the completion of Required
Work pursuant to this Section 9.4.
(f) Lender may, to the extent any Required Work would reasonably
require an inspection of the Property, inspect the Property at Borrower's
expense prior to making a disbursement of the Reserve Funds in order to verify
completion of the Required Work for which reimbursement is sought. Borrower
shall pay Lender a reasonable inspection fee not exceeding $500 for each such
inspection. Lender may require that such inspection be conducted by an
- 78 -
appropriate independent qualified professional selected by Lender and/or may
require a copy of a certificate of completion by an independent qualified
professional acceptable to Lender prior to the disbursement of the Reserve
Funds. Borrower shall pay the expense of the inspection as required hereunder,
whether such inspection is conducted by Lender or by an independent qualified
professional.
(g) The Required Work and all materials, equipment, fixtures, or
any other item comprising a part of any Required Work shall be constructed,
installed or completed, as applicable, free and clear of all mechanic's,
materialman's or other Liens (except for Permitted Encumbrances).
(h) Before each disbursement of the Reserve Funds, if any, Lender
may require Borrower to provide Lender with a search of title to the Property
effective to the date of the disbursement, which search shows that no mechanic's
or materialmen's or other Liens of any nature have been placed against the
Property since the date of recordation of the Mortgage and that title to the
Property is free and clear of all Liens (except for Permitted Encumbrances).
(i) All Required Work shall comply with all Legal Requirements in
all material respects and applicable insurance requirements including, without
limitation, applicable building codes, special use permits, environmental
regulations, and requirements of insurance underwriters.
(j) Borrower hereby assigns to Lender all rights and claims
Borrower may have against all Persons supplying labor or materials in connection
with the Required Work; provided, however, that Lender may not pursue any such
rights or claims unless an Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured.
SECTION 9.5. RELEASE OF RESERVE FUNDS
(a) Upon written request from Borrower and satisfaction of the
requirements set forth in this Agreement, Lender shall disburse to Borrower
amounts, if any, from the Replacement Reserve Account to the extent necessary to
reimburse Borrower for the actual costs of any approved Replacements.
Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, in no event shall Lender be required to
(x) disburse funds from any of the Reserve Accounts if an Event of Default
exists or (y) disburse funds (if any) from the Replacement Reserve Account to
reimburse Borrower for the costs of routine repairs or maintenance to the
Property or for costs which are to be reimbursed from funds held in any other
Reserve Account.
(b) Each request for disbursement from any of the Reserve Accounts
shall be on a form provided or approved by Lender and shall (i) include copies
of invoices for all items or materials purchased and all labor or services
provided and (ii) specify (A) the Required Work for which the disbursement is
requested, (B) the quantity and price of each item purchased, if the Required
Work includes the purchase or replacement of specific items, (C) the price of
all materials (grouped by type or category) used in any Required Work other than
the purchase or replacement of specific items, and (D) the cost of all
contracted labor or other services applicable to each Required Work for which
such request for disbursement is made. With each request Borrower shall certify
that all Required Work has been performed in accordance with all Legal
- 79 -
Requirements. Except as provided in Section 9.5(d), each request for
disbursement shall be made only after completion of the Replacement (or the
portion thereof completed in accordance with Section 9.5(d)) for which
disbursement is requested. Borrower shall provide Lender evidence satisfactory
to Lender in its reasonable judgment of such completion or performance.
(c) Upon Borrower's request, Lender shall disburse funds from the
Replacement Reserve Account to Borrower on a monthly basis, and Borrower shall
use such funds to pay all invoices in connection with the Required Work with
respect to which a disbursement is requested. In addition, as a condition to any
disbursement, Lender may require Borrower to obtain lien waivers from each
contractor, supplier, materialman, mechanic or subcontractor who receives
payment in an amount equal to or greater than $10,000 for completion of its work
or delivery of its materials. Any lien waiver delivered hereunder shall conform
to all Legal Requirements and shall cover all work performed and materials
supplied (including equipment and fixtures) for the Property by that contractor,
supplier, subcontractor, mechanic or materialman through the date covered by the
current disbursement request (or, in the event that payment to such contractor,
supplier, subcontractor, mechanic or materialmen is to be made by a joint check,
the release of lien shall be effective through the date covered by the previous
release of funds request).
(d) If (i) the cost of any item of Required Work exceeds $25,000
and (ii) the contractor performing such Required Work requires periodic payments
pursuant to terms of a written contract, a request for disbursement from the
Reserve Accounts may be made after completion of a portion of the work under
such contract, provided (A) such contract requires payment upon completion of
such portion of work, (B) the materials for which the request is made are on
site at the Property and are properly secured or have been installed in the
Property, (C) all other conditions in this Agreement for disbursement have been
satisfied, and (D) in the case of a Replacement, funds remaining in the
Replacement Reserve Account are, in Lender's judgment, sufficient to complete
such Replacement and other Replacements when required.
(e) Borrower shall not make a request for, nor shall Lender have
any obligation to make, any disbursement from any Reserve Account more
frequently than once in any calendar month and (except in connection with the
final disbursement) in any amount less than the lesser of (i) $10,000 or (ii)
the total cost of the Required Work for which the disbursement is requested.
(f) Intentionally deleted.
(g) Intentionally deleted.
(h) Lender's disbursement of any Reserve Funds or other
acknowledgment of completion of any Required Work in a manner satisfactory to
Lender shall not be deemed a certification or warranty by Lender to any Person
that the Required Work has been completed in accordance with Legal Requirements.
(i) If the funds in any Reserve Account should exceed the amount
of payments actually applied by Lender for the purposes of the account, Lender
in its sole discretion shall either return any excess to Borrower or credit such
excess against future payments to be made to
- 80 -
that Reserve Account. In allocating any such excess, Lender may deal with the
Person shown on Lender's records as being the owner of the Property.
(j) The insufficiency of any balance in any of the Reserve
Accounts shall not relieve Borrower from its obligation to fulfill all
preservation and maintenance covenants in the Loan Documents.
(k) INTENTIONALLY DELETED.
(l) Upon termination of the Replacement Reserve Period or payment
in full of the Debt, all amounts remaining on deposit, if any, in the
Replacement Reserve Account shall be returned to Borrower or the Person shown on
Lender's records as being the owner of the Property and no other party shall
have any right or claim thereto.
SECTION 9.6. TAX AND INSURANCE RESERVE FUNDS
Borrower shall establish on the date hereof an Eligible Account with
Lender or Lender's agent sufficient to discharge Borrower's obligations for the
payment of Taxes and Insurance Premiums pursuant to Section 5.4 and Section 8.1
hereof (the "TAX AND INSURANCE RESERVE ACCOUNT"). Borrower shall deposit into
the Tax and Insurance Reserve Account on each Scheduled Payment Date during any
Tax and Insurance Reserve Period (a) one-twelfth of the Taxes that Lender
estimates will be payable during the next ensuing twelve (12) months or such
higher amount necessary to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all
such Taxes at least thirty (30) days prior to the earlier of (i) the date that
the same will become delinquent and (ii) the date that additional charges or
interest will accrue due to the non-payment thereof, and (b) except to the
extent Lender has waived the insurance escrow because the insurance required
hereunder is maintained under a blanket insurance Policy acceptable to Lender in
accordance with Section 8.1(c), one-twelfth of the Insurance Premiums that
Lender estimates will be payable during the next ensuing twelve (12) months for
the renewal of the coverage afforded by the Policies upon the expiration thereof
or such higher amount necessary to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to
pay all such Insurance Premiums at least thirty (30) days prior to the
expiration of the Policies (said amounts in (a) and (b) above hereinafter called
the "TAX AND INSURANCE RESERVE FUNDS"). Lender will apply the Tax and Insurance
Reserve Funds to payments of Taxes and Insurance Premiums required to be made by
Borrower pursuant to Section 5.4 and Section 8.1 hereof. In making any
disbursement from the Tax and Insurance Reserve Account, Lender may do so
according to any xxxx, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate
public office or tax lien service (with respect to Taxes) or insurer or agent
(with respect to Insurance Premiums), without inquiry into the accuracy of such
xxxx, statement or estimate or into the validity of any tax, assessment, sale,
forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim thereof. If the amount of the Tax and
Insurance Reserve Funds shall exceed the amounts due for Taxes and Insurance
Premiums pursuant to Section 5.4 and Section 8.1 hereof, Lender shall, in its
sole discretion, return any excess to Borrower or credit such excess against
future payments to be made to the Tax and Insurance Reserve Account. In
allocating any such excess, Lender may deal with the person shown on Lender's
records as being the owner of the Property. Any amount remaining in the Tax and
Insurance Reserve Account after the Debt has been paid in full shall be returned
to Borrower or the person shown on Lender's records as being the owner of the
Property and no other party shall have any right or claim thereto. If at any
time Lender
- 81 -
reasonably determines that the Tax and Insurance Reserve Funds are not or will
not be sufficient to pay Taxes and Insurance Premiums by the dates set forth in
(a) and (b) above, Lender shall notify Borrower of such determination and
Borrower shall pay to Lender any amount necessary to make up the deficiency
within ten (10) days after notice from Lender to Borrower requesting payment
thereof.
SECTION 9.7. EXCESS CASH
Borrower shall establish on the date hereof a sub-account of the Cash
Management Account into which Borrower shall deposit all Excess Cash on each
Scheduled Payment Date during any Cash Management Period (the "EXCESS CASH
RESERVE ACCOUNT"). Amounts so deposited shall hereinafter be referred to as the
"EXCESS CASH RESERVE FUNDS." Sums from the Excess Cash Reserve Account shall be
disbursed to Borrower's Account upon the discontinuation of a Cash Management
Period.
SECTION 9.8. TERRORISM RESERVE.
Upon the occurrence of an Act of Terror (i) Borrower shall establish an
Eligible Account with Lender or Lender's agent (the "TERRORISM RESERVE ACCOUNT")
and (ii) Borrower Principal shall immediately deposit into the Terrorism Reserve
Account an amount equal to the sum of the three (3) Monthly Payment Amounts that
would be payable by Borrower for the three (3) Scheduled Payment Dates
immediately following the occurrence of such Act of Terror. Amounts so deposited
shall hereinafter be referred to as the "TERRORISM RESERVE FUNDS". "ACT OF
TERROR" shall mean any foreign acts of terrorism or similar acts of sabotage
(excluding acts of war or nuclear, chemical and biological acts) in which the
Property is directly affected by such acts. Lender shall apply Terrorism Reserve
Funds, if any, to any amounts due hereunder.
SECTION 9.9. RESERVE FUNDS GENERALLY
(a) Funds on deposit in the Reserve Accounts shall be held by
Lender or any Loan servicer, as applicable, and invested in Permitted
Investments as directed by Lender, and interest shall be credited to Borrower.
All such interest shall be and become part of the applicable Reserve Accounts
and shall be disbursed in accordance with Section 9.5 above, provided, however,
that Lender may, at its election, retain any such interest for its own account
for application to the Debt in accordance with this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents during the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default. Borrower
agrees that it shall include all interest on the applicable Reserve Funds as the
income of Borrower (and, if Borrower is a partnership or other pass-through
entity, the partners, members or beneficiaries of Borrower, as the case may be),
and shall be the owner of the applicable Reserve Funds for federal and
applicable state and local tax purposes.
(b) Borrower grants to Lender a first-priority perfected security
interest in, and assigns and pledges to Lender, each of the Reserve Accounts and
any and all Reserve Funds now or hereafter deposited in the Reserve Accounts as
additional security for payment of the Debt. Until expended or applied in
accordance herewith, the Reserve Accounts and the Reserve Funds shall constitute
additional security for the Debt. The provisions of this Section 9.9 are
intended
- 82 -
to give Lender or any subsequent holder of the Loan "control" of the Reserve
Accounts within the meaning of the UCC.
(c) The Reserve Accounts and any and all Reserve Funds now or
hereafter deposited in the Reserve Accounts shall be subject to the exclusive
dominion and control of Lender, which shall hold the Reserve Accounts and any or
all Reserve Funds now or hereafter deposited in the Reserve Accounts subject to
the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Borrower shall have no right of
withdrawal from the Reserve Accounts or any other right or power with respect to
the Reserve Accounts or any or all of the Reserve Funds now or hereafter
deposited in the Reserve Accounts, except as expressly provided in this
Agreement.
(d) Lender shall furnish or cause to be furnished to Borrower,
without charge, an annual accounting of each Reserve Account in the normal
format of Lender or its loan servicer, showing credits and debits to such
Reserve Account and the purpose for which each debit to each Reserve Account was
made.
(e) As long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
Lender shall make disbursements from the Reserve Accounts in accordance with
this Agreement. All such disbursements shall be deemed to have been expressly
pre-authorized by Borrower, and shall not be deemed to constitute the exercise
by Lender of any remedies against Borrower unless an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing and Lender has expressly stated in writing its intent
to proceed to exercise its remedies as a secured party, pledgee or lienholder
with respect to the Reserve Accounts.
(f) If any Event of Default occurs, Borrower shall immediately
lose all of its rights to receive disbursements from the Reserve Accounts until
the earlier to occur of (i) the date on which such Event of Default is cured to
Lender's satisfaction, or (ii) the payment in full of the Debt. In addition, at
Lender's election, Borrower shall lose all of its rights to receive interest on
the Reserve Accounts during the occurrence and continuance of an Event of
Default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default,
Lender may exercise any or all of its rights and remedies as a secured party,
pledgee and lienholder with respect to the Reserve Accounts. Without limitation
of the foregoing, during the continuance of any Event of Default, Lender may use
and disburse the Reserve Funds (or any portion thereof) for any of the following
purposes: (A) repayment of the Debt, including, but not limited to, principal
prepayments and the prepayment premium applicable to such full or partial
prepayment (as applicable); (B) reimbursement of Lender for all losses, fees,
costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees)
suffered or incurred by Lender as a result of such Event of Default; (C) payment
of any amount expended in exercising any or all rights and remedies available to
Lender at law or in equity or under this Agreement or under any of the other
Loan Documents; (D) payment of any item from any of the Reserve Accounts as
required or permitted under this Agreement; or (E) any other purpose permitted
by applicable law; provided, however, that any such application of funds shall
not cure or be deemed to cure any Event of Default. Without limiting any other
provisions hereof, each of the remedial actions described in the immediately
preceding sentence shall be deemed to be a commercially reasonable exercise of
Lender's rights and remedies as a secured party with respect to the Reserve
Funds and shall not in any event be deemed to constitute a setoff or a
foreclosure of a statutory banker's lien. Nothing in this Agreement shall
obligate Lender to apply all or any portion of the Reserve Funds to effect a
cure
- 83 -
of any Event of Default, or to pay the Debt, or in any specific order of
priority. The exercise of any or all of Lender's rights and remedies under this
Agreement or under any of the other Loan Documents shall not in any way
prejudice or affect Lender's right to initiate and complete a foreclosure under
the Mortgage.
(g) The Reserve Funds shall not constitute escrow or trust funds
and may be commingled with other monies held by Lender. Notwithstanding anything
else herein to the contrary, Lender may commingle in one or more Eligible
Accounts any and all funds controlled by Lender, including, without limitation,
funds pledged in favor of Lender by other borrowers, whether for the same
purposes as the Reserve Accounts or otherwise. Without limiting any other
provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the Reserve Accounts
may be established and held in such name or names as Lender or its loan
servicer, as agent for Lender, shall deem appropriate, including, without
limitation, in the name of Lender or such loan servicer as agent for Lender. In
the case of any Reserve Account which is held in a commingled account, Lender or
its loan servicer, as applicable, shall maintain records sufficient to enable it
to determine at all times which portion of such account is related to the Loan.
The Reserve Accounts are solely for the protection of Lender. With respect to
the Reserve Accounts, Lender shall have no responsibility beyond the allowance
of due credit for the sums actually received by Lender or beyond the
reimbursement or payment of the costs and expenses for which such accounts were
established in accordance with their terms. Upon assignment of the Loan by
Lender, any Reserve Funds shall be turned over to the assignee and any
responsibility of Lender as assignor shall terminate. The requirements of this
Agreement concerning Reserve Accounts in no way supersede, limit or waive any
other rights or obligations of the parties under any of the Loan Documents or
under applicable law.
(h) Borrower shall not, without obtaining the prior written
consent of Lender, further pledge, assign or grant any security interest in the
Reserve Accounts or the Reserve Funds deposited therein or permit any Lien to
attach thereto, except for the security interest granted in this Section 9.9, or
any levy to be made thereon, or any UCC Financing Statements, except those
naming Lender as the secured party, to be filed with respect thereto.
(i) Borrower will maintain the security interest created by this
Section 9.9 as a first priority perfected security interest and will defend the
right, title and interest of Lender in and to the Reserve Accounts and the
Reserve Funds against the claims and demands of all Persons whomsoever. At any
time and from time to time, upon the written request of Lender, and at the sole
expense of Borrower, Borrower will promptly and duly execute and deliver such
further instruments and documents and will take such further actions as Lender
reasonably may request for the purpose of obtaining or preserving the full
benefits of this Agreement and of the rights and powers herein granted.

SECTION 10.1. LOCKBOX ACCOUNT AND CASH MANAGEMENT ACCOUNT
(a) Borrower acknowledges and confirms that Borrower has
established, and Borrower covenants that it shall maintain, (i) pursuant to the
Lockbox Agreement, an Eligible
- 84 -
Account into which Borrower shall, and shall cause Manager to, deposit or cause
to be deposited, all Rents and other revenue from the Property (such account,
all funds at any time on deposit therein and any proceeds, replacements or
substitutions of such account or funds therein, are referred to herein as the
"LOCKBOX ACCOUNT"), and (ii) an Eligible Account with Lender or any Loan
servicer, as applicable, into which funds in the Lockbox Account shall be
transferred pursuant to the terms of Section 10.2(b) hereof (such account, the
sub-accounts thereof, all funds at any time on deposit therein and any proceeds,
replacements or substitutions of such account or funds therein, are referred to
herein as the "CASH MANAGEMENT Account").
(b) The Lockbox Account and Cash Management Account shall each be
in the name of Borrower for the benefit of Lender, as secured party, provided
that Borrower shall be the owner of all funds on deposit in such accounts for
federal and applicable state and local tax purposes. Sums on deposit in the Cash
Management Account shall not be invested except in such Permitted Investments as
determined and directed by Lender and all income earned thereon shall be the
income of Borrower and be applied to and become part of the Cash Management
Account, to be disbursed in accordance with this Article 10. Neither Lockbox
Bank nor Lender shall have any liability for any loss resulting from the
investment of funds in Permitted Investments in accordance with the terms and
conditions of this Agreement.
(c) The Lockbox Account and Cash Management Account shall be
subject to the exclusive dominion and control of Lender and, except as otherwise
expressly provided herein, neither Borrower, Manager nor any other party
claiming on behalf of, or through, Borrower or Manager, shall have any right of
withdrawal therefrom or any other right or power with respect thereto.
(d) Borrower agrees to pay the customary fees and expenses of
Lockbox Bank (incurred in connection with maintaining the Lockbox Account) and
Lender (incurred in connection with maintaining the Cash Management Account) and
any successors thereto in connection therewith, as separately agreed by them
from time to time.
(e) Lender shall be responsible for the performance only of such
duties with respect to the Cash Management Account as are specifically set forth
herein, and no duty shall be implied from any provision hereof. Lender shall not
be under any obligation or duty to perform any act which would involve it in
expense or liability or to institute or defend any suit in respect hereof, or to
advance any of its own monies. Borrower shall indemnify and hold Lender and its
directors, employees, officers and agents harmless from and against any loss,
cost or damage (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and
disbursements) incurred by such parties in connection with the Cash Management
Account other than such as result from the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of Lender or intentional nonperformance by Lender of its obligations
under this Agreement.
SECTION 10.2. DEPOSITS AND WITHDRAWALS
(a) Borrower represents, warrants and covenants that:
(i) Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement,
Borrower shall notify and advise Manager to deposit directly into the
Lockbox Account all payments of Rents
- 85 -
or any other item payable under such Leases pursuant to an instruction
letter in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto (a "RENT DIRECTION
LETTER"). If Borrower fails to provide any such notice (and without
prejudice to Lender's rights with respect to such default), Lender
shall have the right, and Borrower hereby grants to Lender a power of
attorney (which power of attorney shall be coupled with an interest and
irrevocable so long as any portion of the Debt remains outstanding), to
sign and deliver a Rent Direction Letter;
(ii) Borrower shall, and shall cause Manager to, instruct
all Persons that maintain open accounts with Borrower or Manager with
respect to the Property or with whom Borrower or Manager does business
on an "accounts receivable" basis with respect to the Property to
deliver all payments due under such accounts to the Lockbox Account.
Neither Borrower nor Manager shall direct any such Person to make
payments due under such accounts in any other manner;
(iii) All Rents or other income from the Property shall (A)
be deemed additional security for payment of the Debt and shall be held
in trust for the benefit, and as the property, of Lender, (B) not be
commingled with any other funds or property of Borrower or Manager, and
(C) if received by Borrower notwithstanding the delivery of a Rent
Direction Letter, be deposited in the Lockbox Account within one (1)
Business Day of receipt;
(iv) Without the prior written consent of Lender, so long
as any portion of the Debt remains outstanding, Borrower shall not
terminate, amend, revoke or modify any Rent Direction Letter in any
manner whatsoever or direct or cause Manager to pay any amount in any
manner other than as provided in the Rent Direction Letter; and
(v) So long as any portion of the Debt remains
outstanding, neither Borrower, Manager nor any other Person shall open
or maintain any accounts other than the Lockbox Account into which
revenues from the ownership and operation of the Property are
deposited. The foregoing shall not prohibit Borrower from utilizing one
or more separate accounts for the disbursement or retention of funds
that have been transferred to Borrower pursuant to the express terms of
this Agreement.
(b) Provided no Event of Default has occurred, at all times other
than during a Cash Management Period, Lockbox Bank shall, on each Business Day,
withdraw all collected and available funds in excess of $2,500 (funds are not
available if, in the reasonable determination of Lockbox Bank, such funds are
subject to a bank hold or freeze (pursuant to applicable Legal Requirements),
dispute or legal process preventing their withdrawal) held in the Lockbox
Account and disburse such funds to the Borrower Account. Upon the occurrence and
during the continuance of a Cash Management Period, Lockbox Bank shall (and
Lender shall instruct Lockbox Bank to), on each Business Day, withdraw all
collected and available funds (funds are not available if, in the reasonable
determination of Lockbox Bank, such funds are subject to a bank hold or freeze
(pursuant to applicable Legal Requirements), dispute or legal process preventing
their withdrawal) held in the Lockbox Account and transfer by wire transfer or
other method of transfer mutually agreeable to Lockbox Bank and Lender to the
Cash Management Account to be held until disbursed by Lender pursuant to Section
10.2(c). Provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, upon the
earlier to occur of (a) payment in full of the
- 86 -
Debt or (b) the discontinuation of a Cash Management Period, Lockbox Bank shall
no longer transfer funds in the Lockbox Account to the Cash Management Account
in accordance with this subsection (b) and shall transfer funds (if any) in the
Lockbox Account to the Borrower Account or, upon payment in full of the Debt, as
otherwise directed by Borrower. In the event a Cash Management Period occurs
three times during the term of the Loan and if required by the Lockbox Bank,
Borrower shall not be entitled to any rights to the withdrawal of funds from the
Lockbox Account during the remaining term of the Loan, the Cash Management
Period shall continue, and Lender shall continue to have the right to the
withdrawal of funds from the Lockbox Account until the Debt is paid in full.
(c) During a Cash Management Period, on each Scheduled Payment
Date (and if such day is not a Business Day, then the immediately preceding day
which is a Business Day) commencing the month immediately following the month
during which the Cash Management Period commences, Borrower hereby irrevocably
authorizes Lender to withdraw or allocate to the sub-accounts of the Cash
Management Account, as the case may be, amounts received in the Cash Management
Account, in each case to the extent that sufficient funds remain therefor and
Lender may, at its option, withdraw or allocate such funds as follows:
(i) during a Tax and Insurance Reserve Period, funds
sufficient to pay the monthly deposits to the Tax and Insurance Reserve
Account shall be allocated to the Tax and Insurance Reserve Account to
be held and disbursed in accordance with Section 9.6;
(ii) funds sufficient to pay the Monthly Payment Amount
(or an amount up to the entire amount of the Debt upon an acceleration
of the Loan in accordance with the terms hereof), shall be withdrawn
and paid to Lender;
(iii) during a Replacement Reserve Period, funds sufficient
to pay the Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposit shall be allocated to
the Replacement Reserve Account to be held and disbursed in accordance
with Section 9.5;
(iv) funds sufficient to pay any interest accruing at the
Default Rate, late payment charges, if any, and any other sums due and
payable to Lender under any of the Loan Documents, shall be withdrawn
and paid to Lender and applied against such items;
(v) funds sufficient to pay Lockbox Bank for all costs
and expenses incurred by Lockbox Bank in connection with the
maintenance and administration of the Lockbox Account;
(vi) funds sufficient to pay Lender or any Loan servicer,
as applicable, the customary fees and expenses incurred in connection
with maintaining the Cash Management Account; and
(vii) funds in an amount equal to the balance (if any)
remaining on deposit in the Cash Management Account after the foregoing
withdrawals and allocations shall be deposited in the Excess Cash
Reserve Account to be held and disbursed in accordance with Section
9.7. Upon the discontinuance of a Cash Management Period, funds (if
any) on deposit in the Excess Cash Reserve Account shall be transferred
to Borrower's Account.
- 87 -
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Borrower
acknowledges that Borrower is responsible for monitoring the sufficiency of
funds deposited in the Cash Management Account and that Borrower is liable for
any deficiency in available funds, irrespective of whether Borrower has received
any account statement, notice or demand from Lender or Lender's servicer. If the
amount on deposit in the Cash Management Account is insufficient to make all of
the withdrawals and allocations described in Section 10.2(c)(i) through (vi)
above, Borrower shall deposit such deficiency into the Cash Management Account
within five (5) days (provided that such five day period shall not constitute a
grace period for any default or Event of Default under this Agreement or any
other Loan Document based on a failure to satisfy any monetary obligation
provided in any Loan Document).
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if
an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Borrower hereby
irrevocably authorizes Lender to make any and all withdrawals from the Lockbox
Account and Cash Management Account and transfers between any of the Reserve
Accounts as Lender shall determine in Lender's sole and absolute discretion and
Lender may use all funds contained in any such accounts for any purpose,
including but not limited to repayment of the Debt in such order, proportion and
priority as Lender may determine in its sole and absolute discretion. Lender's
right to withdraw and apply funds as stated herein shall be in addition to all
other rights and remedies provided to Lender under this Agreement, the Note, the
Mortgage and the other Loan Documents.
SECTION 10.3. SECURITY INTEREST
(a) To secure the full and punctual payment of the Debt and
performance of all obligations of Borrower now or hereafter existing under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents, Borrower hereby grants to Lender a
first-priority perfected security interest in the Lockbox Account and Cash
Management Account, all interest, cash, checks, drafts, certificates and
instruments, if any, from time to time deposited or held therein, any and all
amounts invested in Permitted Investments, and all "proceeds" (as defined in the
UCC as in effect in the state in which the Lockbox Account and Cash Management
Account are located or maintained) of any or all of the foregoing. Furthermore,
Borrower shall not, without obtaining the prior written consent of Lender,
further pledge, assign or grant any security interest in any of the foregoing or
permit any Lien to attach thereto or any levy to be made thereon or any UCC
Financing Statements to be filed with respect thereto. Borrower will maintain
the security interest created by this Section 10.3(a) as a first priority
perfected security interest and will defend the right, title and interest of
Lender in and to the Lockbox Account and Cash Management Account against the
claims and demands of all Persons whomsoever.
(b) Borrower authorizes Lender to file any financing statement or
statements required by Lender to establish or maintain the validity, perfection
and priority of the security interest granted herein in connection with the
Lockbox Account and Cash Management Account. Borrower agrees that at any time
and from time to time, at the expense of Borrower, Borrower will promptly and
duly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all
further action, that may be necessary or desirable, or that Lender may
reasonably request, in order to perfect and protect any security interest
granted or purported to be granted hereby (including, without limitation, any
security interest in and to any Permitted Investments) or to enable Lender to
exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder.
- 88 -
(c) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, Lender may exercise any or all of its rights and remedies as a secured
party, pledgee and lienholder with respect to the Lockbox Account and Cash
Management Account. Without limitation of the foregoing, upon any Event of
Default, Lender may use the Lockbox Account and Cash Management Account for any
of the following purposes: (A) repayment of the Debt, including, but not limited
to, principal prepayments and the prepayment premium applicable to such full or
partial prepayment (as applicable); (B) reimbursement of Lender for all losses,
fees, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees)
suffered or incurred by Lender as a result of such Event of Default; (C) payment
of any amount expended in exercising any or all rights and remedies available to
Lender at law or in equity or under this Agreement or under any of the other
Loan Documents; (D) payment of any item as required or permitted under this
Agreement; or (E) any other purpose permitted by applicable law; provided,
however, that any such application of funds shall not cure or be deemed to cure
any Event of Default. Without limiting any other provisions hereof, each of the
remedial actions described in the immediately preceding sentence shall be deemed
to be a commercially reasonable exercise of Lender's rights and remedies as a
secured party with respect to the Lockbox Account and Cash Management Account
and shall not in any event be deemed to constitute a setoff or a foreclosure of
a statutory banker's lien. Nothing in this Agreement shall obligate Lender to
apply all or any portion of the Lockbox Account or Cash Management Account to
effect a cure of any Event of Default, or to pay the Debt, or in any specific
order of priority. The exercise of any or all of Lender's rights and remedies
under this Agreement or under any of the other Loan Documents shall not in any
way prejudice or affect Lender's right to initiate and complete a foreclosure
under the Mortgage.
SECTION 10.4. DEFINITIONS. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, For purposes of this Article 10 only, Business Day shall mean
a day on which Lender and Lockbox Bank are both open for the conduct of
substantially all of their respective banking business at the office in the city
in which the Note is payable, with respect to Lender and at the office in the
city where the Lockbox Account is maintained, with respect to Lockbox Bank (in
both instances, excluding Saturdays and Sundays).

rating confirmation.

meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act

Group may become subject insofar as the Losses arise out of or are based upon
any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained
in such sections (including any Investor or Rating Agency "term sheets" or
presentations relating to the Property and/or the Loan) or arise out of or are
based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact
required to be stated in such sections (including any Investor or Rating Agency
"term sheets" or presentations relating to the Property and/or the Loan) or
necessary in order to make the statements in such sections (including any
Investor or Rating Agency "term sheets" or presentations relating to the
Property and/or the Loan) or in light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading (collectively the "SECURITIES LIABILITIES") and (B)
agreeing to reimburse Lender and the Issuer Group for any legal or other
expenses reasonably incurred by Lender and Issuer Group in connection with
investigating or defending the Securities Liabilities; provided, however, that
Borrower will be liable in any such case under clauses (A) or (B) above only to

This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which Borrower may

Considerations," and/or "Risk Factors," and "Certain Legal Aspects of the
Mortgage Loan," or similar sections, and all sections relating to Borrower,
Borrower Principal, Manager, their Affiliates, the Loan, the Loan Documents and
the Property, and any risks or special considerations relating thereto, and
that, to the best of Borrower's knowledge, such sections (and any other sections
reasonably requested) do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or
omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in
the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading has
been requested by Lender and has not been provided by Borrower and shall be
applicable based on information previously provided by Borrower or its
Affiliates if Borrower does not provide such requested indemnification
certificate.
(c) In connection with filings under the Exchange Act or any
information provided to holders of Securities on an ongoing basis, Borrower
agrees to indemnify (i) Lender and the Issuer Group for Losses to which Lender
or the Issuer Group may become subject insofar as the Securities Liabilities

Section 13.5 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party
will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party
under this Section 13.5, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the
commencement thereof, but the omission to so notify the indemnifying party will
not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability which the indemnifying
party may have to any indemnified party hereunder except to the extent that
failure to notify causes prejudice to the indemnifying party. In the event that
any action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies the
indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be
entitled, jointly with any other indemnifying party, to participate therein and,
to the extent that it (or they) may elect by written notice delivered to the
indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such
indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably
satisfactory to such indemnified party. After notice from the indemnifying party
to such indemnified party under this Section 13.5 the indemnifying party shall
be responsible for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such
indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable
costs of investigation; provided, however, if the defendants in any such action
include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the
indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there are any legal
defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties that are different
from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, the indemnified
party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to assert such
legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on
behalf of such indemnified party or parties. The indemnifying party shall not be
liable for the expenses of more than one such separate counsel unless an
indemnified party shall have
- 100 -
reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are
different from or additional to those available to another indemnified party.
(e) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in
circumstances in which the indemnity agreements provided for in Section 13.5(c)
or Section 13.5(d) is or are for any reason held to be unenforceable by an
indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or
action in respect thereof) referred to therein which would otherwise be
indemnifiable under Section 13.5(c) or Section 13.5(d), the indemnifying party
shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a
result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or action in respect
thereof); provided, however, that no Person guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act)
shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such
fraudulent misrepresentation. In determining the amount of contribution to which
the respective parties are entitled, the following factors shall be considered:
(i) the indemnified party's and Borrower's relative knowledge and access to
information concerning the matter with respect to which claim was asserted; (ii)
the opportunity to correct and prevent any statement or omission; and (iii) any
other equitable considerations appropriate in the circumstances. Lender and
Borrower hereby agree that it would not be equitable if the amount of such
contribution were determined by pro rata or per capita allocation.
(f) The liabilities and obligations of Borrower, and Lender under
this Section 13.5 shall survive the satisfaction of this Agreement and the
satisfaction and discharge of the Debt.

release or impairment of any obligation evidenced or secured by this Agreement,
the Note, the Mortgage or the other Loan Documents; (ii) impair the right of
Lender to name Borrower or Borrower Principal as a party defendant in any action

Lender shall only enforce such judgment to the extent of the Insurance Proceeds
and/or Awards.

SECTION 18.1. REMEDIES CUMULATIVE; WAIVERS
The rights, powers and remedies of Lender under this Agreement shall be
cumulative and not exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which Lender

the other Loan Documents, or existing at law or in equity or otherwise. Lender's
rights, powers and remedies may be pursued singularly, concurrently or
otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in Lender's
sole discretion. No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power
accruing upon an Event of Default shall impair any such remedy, right or power
or shall be construed as a waiver thereof, but any such remedy, right or power
may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. A
waiver of one Default or Event of Default with respect to Borrower shall not be
construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default by
Borrower or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon.
SECTION 18.2. MODIFICATION, WAIVER IN WRITING
No modification, amendment, extension, discharge, termination or waiver
of any provision of this Agreement, or of the Note, or of any other Loan
Document, nor consent to any departure by Borrower therefrom, shall in any event

whom enforcement is sought, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective
only in the specific instance, and for the purpose, for which given. Except as
otherwise expressly provided herein, no notice to, or demand on Borrower, shall
entitle Borrower to any other or future notice or demand in the same, similar or
other circumstances.

Neither any failure nor any delay on the part of Lender in insisting
upon strict performance of any term, condition, covenant or agreement, or
exercising any right, power, remedy or privilege hereunder, or under the Note or
under any other Loan Document, or any other instrument given as security
therefor, shall operate as or constitute a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or
partial exercise thereof preclude any other future exercise, or the exercise of
any other right, power, remedy or privilege. In particular, and not by way of
limitation, by accepting payment after the due date of any amount payable under
this Agreement, the Note or any other Loan Document, Lender shall not be deemed
to have waived any right either to require prompt payment when due of all other
amounts due under this Agreement, the Note or the other Loan Documents, or to
declare a default for failure to effect prompt payment of any such other amount.
SECTION 18.4. TRIAL BY JURY
BORROWER, BORROWER PRINCIPAL AND LENDER EACH HEREBY AGREES NOT TO ELECT

EXIST WITH

INTENDED TO ENCOMPASS INDIVIDUALLY EACH INSTANCE AND EACH ISSUE AS TO WHICH THE
RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY WOULD OTHERWISE ACCRUE. EACH OF LENDER, BORROWER
PRINCIPAL AND BORROWER IS HEREBY AUTHORIZED TO FILE A COPY OF THIS PARAGRAPH IN
ANY PROCEEDING AS CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OF THIS WAIVER BY BORROWER, BORROWER
PRINCIPAL AND LENDER.
SECTION 18.5. WAIVER OF NOTICE
Borrower shall not be entitled to any notices of any nature whatsoever
from Lender except with respect to matters for which this Agreement or the other
Loan Documents specifically and expressly provide for the giving of notice by
Lender to Borrower and except with respect to matters for which Borrower is not,
pursuant to applicable Legal Requirements, permitted to waive the giving of
notice. Borrower hereby expressly waives the right to receive any notice from
Lender with respect to any matter for which this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents do not specifically and expressly provide for the giving of notice by
Lender to Borrower.
SECTION 18.6. REMEDIES OF BORROWER
In the event that a claim or adjudication is made that Lender or its
agents have acted unreasonably or unreasonably delayed acting in any case where
by law or under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Lender or such
agent, as the case may be, has an obligation to act reasonably or promptly,
Borrower agrees that neither Lender nor its agents shall be liable for any
monetary damages, and Borrower's sole remedies shall be limited to commencing an
action seeking injunctive relief or declaratory judgment. The parties hereto
agree that any action or proceeding to determine whether Lender has acted
reasonably shall be determined by an action seeking declaratory judgment. Lender
agrees that, in such event, it shall cooperate in expediting any action seeking
injunctive relief or declaratory judgment.
SECTION 18.7. WAIVER OF MARSHALLING OF ASSETS
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Borrower, for itself and its
successors and assigns, waives all rights to a marshalling of the assets of
Borrower, Borrower's partners and others with interests in Borrower, and of the
Property, and agrees not to assert any right under any laws pertaining to the
marshalling of assets, the sale in inverse order of alienation, homestead
exemption, the administration of estates of decedents, or any other matters
whatsoever to defeat, reduce or affect the right of Lender under the Loan
Documents to a sale of the Property for the collection of the Debt 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 Property in preference to
every other claimant whatsoever.
- 109 -

permitted by law, the pleading of any statute of limitations as a defense to
payment of the Debt or performance of its Other Obligations.

compulsory counterclaim, in any action or proceeding brought against it by
Lender or its agents.

entitled to assume that Lender will refuse to make the Loan in the absence of

financial statement, survey, appraisal, or insurance policy, Lender shall not be
deemed to have warranted, consented to, or affirmed the sufficiency, the
legality or
- 112 -
effectiveness of same, and such acceptance or approval thereof shall not
constitute any warranty or affirmation with respect thereto by Lender.
(f) Borrower recognizes and acknowledges that in accepting this

expressly and primarily relying on the truth and accuracy of the representations
and warranties set forth in Article 4 of this Agreement without any obligation

Property by Lender; that such reliance existed on the part of Lender prior to
the date hereof, that the warranties and representations are a material
inducement to Lender in making the Loan; and that Lender would not be willing to
make the Loan and accept this Agreement, the Note, the Mortgage and the other
Loan Documents in the absence of the warranties and representations as set forth

withheld, provided however, that Lender's consent shall not be required in
connection with any such news releases, publicity or advertising by Borrower or
its Affiliates to the extent Borrower or its Affiliates are required to make
such news releases pursuant to applicable Legal Requirements. Lender shall be
permitted to make any news, releases, publicity or advertising by Lender or its
Affiliates through any media intended to reach the general public which refers

LLC and any other Affiliates of the foregoing, in connection with the sale or
transfer of the Loan or any Participations and/or Securities created. In the
event of a conflict between any of the provisions of this Section 20.8 and
paragraph 5 of the Advisory Agreement, the applicable provisions of the Advisory
Agreement shall control.
SECTION 20.9. CONFLICT; CONSTRUCTION OF DOCUMENTS; RELIANCE

counsel in connection with the negotiation, drafting and execution of the Loan
Documents and that such Loan Documents shall not be subject to the principle of
construing their meaning against the party which drafted same. Borrower
acknowledges that, with respect to the Loan, Borrower shall rely solely on its
own judgment and advisors in entering into the Loan without relying in any
manner on any statements, representations or recommendations of Lender or any
parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender. Lender shall not be subject to any
limitation whatsoever in the exercise of any rights or remedies available to it
under any of the Loan Documents or any other agreements or instruments which
govern the Loan by virtue of the ownership by it or any parent, subsidiary or
Affiliate of Lender of any equity interest any of them may acquire in Borrower,
and Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to raise any defense or take
any action on the basis of the
- 113 -
foregoing with respect to Lender's exercise of any such rights or remedies.

viewed as adverse to or competitive with the business of Borrower or its
Affiliates.
