an Under-Construction Project (and after giving effect thereto) the
aggregate original principal amount of all Project Advances made hereunder
with respect to such Under-Construction Project shall not exceed the
Project Borrowing Base for such Under-Construction Project, determined as
of such date;
(d) the original principal amount of each Project Advance to be made
in respect of Construction Costs of an Under-Construction Project, at the
time of the making thereof, shall have been determined by excluding from
such Construction Costs a contractor's retainage of not less than 10% of
at least one-half of the applicable Construction Costs (such 10% so
reserved from any such Construction Costs is referred to herein as the
"Retainage Amount;" for purposes of the avoidance of doubt, the Retainage
Amount shall be based upon the full amount of certified Construction Costs
and shall remain as a retainage until the final payment thereof), provided
that, in connection with the Final Construction Cost Advance for such
Under-Construction Project and subject to the requirements of Section 6
hereof, this clause (d) shall not operate and the aggregate unutilized
Retainage Amounts for such Under-Construction Project may then be borrowed
in their entirety and provided further that the Administrative Agent, as
directed by the Required Lenders and upon the Borrower's submission of a
written request therefor (which request shall be based upon the completion
of construction work at such Under-Construction Project by a subcontractor
or by the General Contractor for such Under-Construction Project and the
desire of the Borrower to pay such subcontractor or the General Contractor
for such work), may agree to advance any or all of such unutilized
Retainage Amounts prior to the making of the Final Construction Cost
Advance for such Under-Construction Project upon such terms and conditions
as it may require; and
(e) the original principal amount of any Final Construction Cost
Advance with respect to any Under-Construction Project, assuming
compliance with clauses (b) and (c) above, shall not exceed 100% of the
aggregate amount of the Retainage Amounts then owing to the General
Contractor for such Under-Construction Project under the Construction
Contract for such Under-Construction Project, as of the date of the making
of such Final Construction Cost Advance;
35
(f) no more than one Project Advance in respect of any
Under-Construction Project shall be made during any weekly period;
(g) no Project Advance shall relate to or be attributable to more
than one Under-Construction Project; and
(h) no Project Advance shall be in an amount of less than $50,000.
2.3 Borrowing Mechanics; Advances Generally.
(a) Borrowing Mechanics.
(i) All requested advances under this Agreement shall be made
by the Lenders simultaneously and proportionately to their
respective Pro Rata Shares, it being understood that no Lender shall
be responsible for any default by any other Lender in that other
Lender's obligation to make its share of a requested advance
hereunder nor shall the Commitment of any Lender be increased or
decreased as a result of a default by any other Lender in that other
Lender's obligation to make its share of a requested advance
hereunder, provided that any one or more of the nondefaulting
Lenders may, in their sole discretion and by a written notice to the
Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the defaulting Lender, elect
to assume that portion of the Commitment of a defaulting Lender not
then being honored by such defaulting Lender and, in any such case,
the Commitment of such nondefaulting Lenders and the Commitment of
such defaulting Lender shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect
such assumption (if more than one nondefaulting Lender shall desire
to effect the assumption referred to in this clause (a), such
assumption shall be shared ratably among such nondefaulting Lenders
in accordance with their Commitments, as determined immediately
prior to such assumption) and new Notes shall be issued in exchange
for the then outstanding Notes to reflect such assumption.
(ii) Each Lender shall either (A) deliver the amount of each
of its Pre-Sale Advances or Project Advances directly to the
Administrative Agent on the applicable Advance Date in respect
thereof as provided for herein or (B) deliver the amount of each of
its Pre-Sales Advances or Project Advances as provided in Section
10.7(b) hereof. Each Lender shall inform the Administrative Agent in
writing of its preferred way of making its Pro Rata Share of the
Pre-Sale Advance and Project Advances hereunder.
(iii) This clause (iii) shall apply with the respect to any
Lender that shall have elected option (A) under Section 2.3(a)(ii)
hereof; otherwise Section 10.7(b) hereof shall apply. Subject to the
satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 6
hereof, the Administrative Agent shall deliver the proceeds of the
Pro Rata Share of each Pre-Sale Advance or Project Advance from each
Lender delivered to it in immediately available funds to the
Borrower on the applicable Advance Date in immediately available
funds as provided for in Schedule 10 hereto. Unless the
Administrative Agent shall have been notified by a Lender prior to
any applicable Advance Date that such Lender does not intend to make
36
available to the Administrative Agent its Pro Rata Share of a
Pre-Sale Advance or Project Advance in respect of such Advance Date,
the Administrative Agent may assume, for purposes of this clause
(iii), that such Lender will make such Pro Rata Share of such
Pre-Sale Advance or Project Advance then requested available to the
Administrative Agent on the applicable Advance Date, and the
Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, but shall not be
obligated to, deliver to the Borrower, as provided in clause (ii)
above, the amount of such Pro Rata Share of such Advance. If such
Lender does not in fact make such Pro Rata Share of such Pre-Sale
Advance or Project Advance available to the Administrative Agent on
the applicable Advance Date, the Administrative Agent shall be
entitled to recover such amount from such Lender together with
interest accrued thereon at the Interest Rate. If such Lender shall
not pay to the Administrative Agent such amount (together with
interest) forthwith upon the Administrative Agent's demand therefor,
the Administrative Agent may promptly inform, in writing, the
Borrower of such circumstances and the Borrower shall promptly repay
such Pro Rata Share of such Pre-Sale Advance or Project Advance
together with interest accrued thereon at the Interest Rate for the
period of time such Pre-Sale Advance or Interest Advance shall have
been outstanding. Nothing in this clause (iii) shall be deemed to
relieve any Lender from its obligations to fulfill its Commitment
hereunder and nothing in this clause (iii) shall be deemed to
relieve any nondefaulting Lender from its rights under clause (i)
above.
(b) Advances Generally.
(i) Other than as provided in Sections 2.5, 3.5 and 3.6
hereof, the Borrower may not prepay the Loan. It is the intention of
Borrower and Lender that the Loan be available to the Borrower in a
series of advances (including the Pre-Sale Advance, the Interest
Advances and the Project Advances) to be made during the Commitment
Period. The Borrower may not re-borrow any amount of the Pre-Sale
Advance Loan that has been paid. The Borrower may not re-borrow any
amount of any Interest Advance that has been paid. The Borrower may
re-borrow, in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof, any
Project Advance that has been paid except a Project Advance which is
a Final Construction Cost Advance.
(ii) The Loan shall be payable in the manner set forth in
Sections 2.4 and 2.5 of this Agreement. The Loan shall be due and
payable on the Maturity Date together with any accrued interest
thereon then remaining unpaid and any other unpaid amounts
outstanding under the Note or under any of the other Security
Documents, provided that, if earlier than the Maturity Date, each
Project Advance shall mature and be due and payable on the first day
of the 37th month following the date on which the first Project
Advance Request in respect of the Under-Construction Project related
to such Project Advance shall have been submitted to the
Administrative Agent. The Pre-Sale Advance shall be disbursed on
terms and conditions set forth in Section 5 of this Agreement and
otherwise satisfactory to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent,
each Interest Advance shall be disbursed on terms set forth in
Section 2.4(c) hereof and each Project
37
Advance hereunder shall be disbursed by the Administrative Agent in
the manner set forth in Section 6 of this Agreement.
(iii) Each Project Advance shall be attributable to a
particular Under-Construction Project. Accordingly, each Project
Advance will be characterized as follows: a Project Advance in
respect of the Jordan Bowl Project (a "Jordan Bowl Project Advance"
and, collectively, the "Jordan Bowl Project Advances"), a Project
Advance in respect of the Killington Project (a "Killington Project
Advance" and, collectively, the "Killington Project Advances") or a
Project Advance in respect of the Mt. Snow Project (a "Mt. Snow
Project Advance" and, collectively, the "Mt. Snow Project
Advances"). For the avoidance of doubt, the Final Construction Cost
Advance in respect of each Under-Construction Project shall be
deemed to be and is a Project Advance and shall further be deemed to
be and is a Jordan Bowl Project Advance, Killington Project Advance
or Mt. Snow Project Advance, as the case may be.
2.4 Issuance of Note; Interest Payments.
(a) Note. The Borrower shall authorize, issue and deliver to each
Lender a promissory note (as amended from time to time, a "Note," and,
collectively, the "Notes"), substantially in the form attached to this
Agreement as Exhibit G, to evidence such Lender's Pro Rata Share of the
Loan and in the original stated principal amount of such Lender's
Commitment. Each of the Lenders is hereby authorized by the Borrower to
record (in good faith) in the manual or data processing records of such
Lender, or on the grid schedule annexed to the Note of such Lender, the
date and amount of its Pro Rata Share of the Pre-Sale Advance and each
Project Advance extended to the Borrower hereunder, the Under-Construction
Project related to such Project Advance (i.e., whether such Project
Advance is a Jordan Bowl Project Advance, a Killington Project Advance or
a Mt. Snow Project Advance), whether the Advance is a Pre-Sale Advance or
an Interest Advance, the date and amount of its Pro Rata Share of each
repayment of principal of each such Advance and its Pro Rata Share of each
payment of interest on account of each such Advance. In the absence of
manifest error, such records and schedule shall be conclusive as to such
Lender's Pro Rata Share of the outstanding principal amount of each
Advance (and, in the case of a Project Advance, the Under-Construction
Project related thereto) and of the Loan and such Lender's Pro Rata Share
of the payment of interest accrued thereunder and hereunder; provided,
that the failure to make any such record entry with respect to any such
Advance, any such Under-Construction Project or any such payment shall not
limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower to such Lender
under this Agreement, the Note of such Lender or any other Security
Document.
(b) Assumptions as to Holders. The Administrative Agent may deem and
treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes hereof
unless and until an assignment agreement effecting the assignment or
transfer thereof shall have been accepted by Administrative Agent as
provided in Section 2.6(b) hereof. Any request, authority or consent of
any Person who, at the time of making such request or giving such
authority or consent, is the holder of any Note shall be conclusive and
binding on
38
any subsequent holder, assignee or transferee of that Note or of any Note
or Notes issued in exchange therefor.
(c) Interest Payments.
(i) Interest shall accrue on the Loan, as more particularly
provided for in this clause (c), and shall be due and payable
monthly in arrears on the 15th day of the month following the month
in respect of which such interest accrued, provided that all accrued
and unpaid interest on the Maturity Date shall be due on the
Maturity Date. Subject to the accrual of interest on the Loan after
the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default, as more
particularly provided in this clause (c), the Monthly Average
Weighted Loan Balance in respect of the Loan for each calendar month
shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Interest Rate.
Interest shall be calculated on the basis of actual days elapsed
over a period of a 360 day year.
(ii) Each Lender's Pro Rata Share of an Advance shall bear
interest as of the date of such Lender's wiring of funds thereof (or
as otherwise provided with respect to an Interest Advance under
Section 2.4(c) hereof) through the date of the receipt by such
Lender of the repayment thereof (if the repayment of all or any
portion of such Lender's Pro Rata Share of the principal amount
thereof is received by such Lender later than 12:00 pm, Eastern
time, then interest accrual thereon shall be through the next
Business Day following such receipt). After the occurrence of an
Event of Default or after the Maturity Date (if the aggregate
outstanding principal balance of the Loan and any other sums due
under any Security Document is not paid in full on the Maturity
Date) or the maturity date of any Project Advances (if the aggregate
outstanding principal balance of such Project Advances is not paid
in full on such maturity date), each Lender's Pro Rata Share of such
aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Loan will bear
interest at the Default Rate.
(iii) The Borrower hereby requests the Lenders (such request
to be deemed a standing request unless rescinded in writing by the
Borrower), and hereby authorizes the Lenders, to make an advance
(each such advance is referred to herein as an "Interest Advance")
to it on the 15th day of each calendar month in an amount equal to
the lesser of
(A) the amount of accrued interest due and payable on
such day to the Lenders and
(B) an amount, which when added to the aggregate
outstanding principal amounts of all prior Advances made by
the Lenders would not exceed $55,000,000,
and the Lenders agree, subject only to the lack of existence of a
Default or Event of Default, to extend their respective Pro Rata
Shares of each such Interest Advance to the Borrower, provided that
all of the proceeds of each such Pro Rata Share shall be used by the
Lender related to such Pro Rata Share for the sole
39
purpose of satisfying (in whole or part, as the case may be) the
accrued interest due and payable on such 15th day of such month and
the Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes and instructs such use.
To the extent that the amount of any such Advance is insufficient to
pay in full the amount of such interest due and payable on such 15th
day of such month or no such Interest Advance is made, the Borrower
shall pay, on such 15th day, the balance of interest due and payable
on such 15th day. In connection with any such Interest Advance, the
Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent title insurance
endorsements to the Title Insurance Policy {Blanket} in respect of
all Projects in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent whereby the effective date of such Title
Insurance Policy {Blanket} shall be made the date of such Interest
Advance, all exclusions and/or exceptions not satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent shall have been removed or appropriate
endorsements in respect thereof shall have been obtained; such Title
Insurance Policy {Blanket} shall be in an amount not less than the
sum of the principal amount of the Loan outstanding after giving
effect to such Interest Advance. All premiums in respect of such
endorsement to such Title Insurance Policy {Blanket} shall have been
paid in full and evidence thereof shall have been delivered to the
Administrative Agent.
(iv) The Borrower and each Lender intend to comply at all
times with applicable usury laws. All agreements between the
Borrower and such Lender, whether now existing or hereafter arising
and whether written or oral, are hereby limited so that in no
contingency, whether by reason of demand or acceleration of the
maturity of any Note or otherwise, shall the interest contracted
for, charged, received, paid or agreed to be paid to such Lender
exceed the maximum amount permissible under applicable law (the
"Maximum Rate"). Each Lender may, in determining the Maximum Rate in
effect from time to time, take advantage of any law, rule or
regulation in effect from time to time available to such Lender
which exempts such Lender from any limit upon the rate of interest
it may charge or grants to such Lender the right to charge a higher
rate of interest than that otherwise permitted by applicable law.
If, from any circumstance whatsoever, interest would otherwise be
payable to a Lender in excess of the Maximum Rate, the interest
payable to such Lender shall be reduced to the Maximum Rate; and if
from any circumstance such Lender shall ever receive anything of
value deemed interest by applicable law in excess of the Maximum
Rate, an amount equal to any excessive interest shall be applied to
the reduction of the principal of the Pro Rata Share of the Loan
allocable to such Lender hereunder and not to the payment of
interest, or if such excessive interest exceeds the unpaid balance
of principal of such Pro Rata Share of the Loan, such excess shall
be refunded to the Borrower by such Lender. All interest paid or
agreed to be paid to a Lender shall, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread
throughout the full period until payment in full of the principal so
that the interest on the portion of the Loan allocable to such
Lender for such full period shall not exceed the Maximum Rate for
such Lender. The Borrower agrees that in determining whether or not
any interest payment under the Security Documents exceeds the
Maximum Rate for a Lender, any non-principal payment (except
payments specifically described in the Security Documents as
"interest") including without limitation, fees and late charges,
shall to the maximum extent not
40
prohibited by law, be an expense, fee or premium rather than
interest in respect of such Lender. Each Lender hereby expressly
disclaims any intent to contract for, charge or receive interest in
an amount which exceeds the Maximum Rate for such Lender. The
provisions of this Agreement, the Notes, and all other Security
Documents are hereby modified to the extent necessary to conform
with the limitations and provisions of this paragraph, and this
paragraph shall govern over all other provisions in any document or
agreement now or hereafter existing. This paragraph shall never be
superseded or waived unless there is a written document executed by
each Lender and the Borrower, expressly declaring the usury
limitation set forth in this paragraph to be null and void, and no
other method or language shall be effective to supersede or waive
this paragraph.
(d) Interest and Other Payments Due on Holidays. If any payment due
on, or with respect to, this Agreement, the Notes or any other Security
Document shall fall due on a day other than a Business Day, then such
payment shall be made on the 1st Business Day following the day on which
such payment shall have so fallen due; provided that if all or any portion
of such payment shall consist of a payment of interest, for purposes of
calculating such interest, such payment shall be deemed to have been
originally due on such first following Business Day, and such interest
shall accrue and be payable to (but not including, subject to clause (e)
below) the actual date of payment.
(e) Application of Payments Received after 12:00 pm.
(i) Any payment to be made to the Administrative Agent and
actually received by the Administrative Agent at or before 12:00
p.m. Eastern time, by federal funds wire transfer on any Business
Day, shall be deemed to have been received by the Administrative
Agent on such day. Any payment actually received by the
Administrative Agent after 12:00 p.m. Eastern time, by federal funds
wire transfer on any Business Day, shall be deemed to have been
received on the next following Business Day. All payments received
by the Administrative Agent on a day other than a Business Day, or
in a manner other than by federal funds wire transfer, shall be
deemed to have been received by such Person on the Business Day such
amounts actually become available to such Person prior to 12:00 p.m.
Eastern time in immediately available funds.
(ii) All payments from the Borrower to the Administrative
Agent or any Lender shall be by means of federal funds wire transfer
as set forth in Schedule 10 hereto (or as otherwise instructed in a
writing from the Administrative Agent or such Lender to the Borrower
and delivered to the Borrower not less than 2 Business Days prior to
any date of any payment that is to be subject to such new
instructions).
(iii) All payments from the Administrative Agent to the
Borrower or any Lender shall be by means of federal funds wire
transfer as set forth in Schedule 10 hereto (or as otherwise
instructed in a writing from the Borrower or such Lender and
delivered to the Administrative Agent not less than 2 Business Days
prior to any date of any payment that is to be subject to such new
instructions).
41
(f) No Defenses. All payments by the Borrower of principal,
interest, fees and other Obligations hereunder and under the other
Security Documents shall be made without defense, setoff or counterclaim
and free of any restriction or condition.
(g) Payments Pro Rata. For the avoidance of doubt, aggregate
principal and interest payments hereunder and under the Notes shall be
apportioned such that each Lender receives its Pro Rata Share thereof.
2.5 Collections; Sales Proceeds; Required Payments; Voluntary Prepayments
of Loan.
(a) Host Company Lease Agreements Payments. The Borrower shall
direct or otherwise cause each Host Company to make all payments under its
respective Host Company Lease Agreement (including, without limitation,
all Monthly Rental Amounts in respect thereof) to the Administrative
Agent. For the avoidance of doubt, the Borrower shall, on or before the
fifteenth (15th) day of each month, cause each such Host Company to make
each payment in respect of the Monthly Rental Amount that accrued in
respect of the immediately preceding month to the Administrative Agent.
All such payments in respect of Monthly Rental Amounts delivered to the
Administrative Agent shall be in good, collected funds in legal tender of
the United States of America and shall be applied as set forth in Section
2.5(d) hereof, provided that, if a Default or an Event of Default shall
then exist, the entire amount of such payments shall be applied pursuant
to Section 2.5(d) or Section 8.2(c) of this Agreement, whichever shall be
applicable. If any payment under a Host Company Lease Agreement (other
than a Monthly Rental Amount) is delivered to the Administrative Agent,
then Section 2.5(e) hereof shall be applicable thereto.
(b) Receipts from Sale Proceeds of Quartershare Interests,
Commercial Units and Residential Units.
(i) The Borrower shall promptly consummate the purchase and
sale of
(1) each Quartershare Interest under each Contract,
(2) each Residential Unit, and
(3) each Commercial Unit
as soon as possible after the Project applicable thereto shall have
received a permanent certificate of occupancy from the town or other
municipality that covers such Project, and the Declaration and
Resort Map for such Project shall have been recorded in the
applicable office(s) or amendments thereto shall have been so
recorded (as the case may be). The Borrower shall use its best
efforts, as soon as practicable after the completion of the
construction and furnishing of such Project to obtain a permanent
certificate of occupancy in respect thereof and in respect of the
Residential Units and Commercial Units (including, if permitted by
the town or other municipality that covers such Project, obtaining
certificates of
42
occupancy on a floor by floor basis) and to record the aforesaid
Declarations, Resort Maps and amendments in the applicable offices.
(ii) With respect to each sale of a Quartershare Interest in
any Project, the Borrower shall deliver, or cause to be delivered,
to the Administrative Agent all cash downpayments and all other cash
payments received by the Borrower and paid by the Purchaser under
each Contract on the Consummation Date of such sale. The Borrower
agrees to instruct, and hereby so instructs, the Escrow Agent for
such Project to deliver directly to the Administrative Agent all
escrowed amounts in respect of each Contract that are held by such
Escrow Agent and all additional payments received by such Escrow
Agent on the Consummation Date in respect of such Contract upon
receipt by such Escrow Agent of a written confirmation from either
the Borrower or the Administrative Agent that such sale has been
consummated. The Borrower agrees that all payments delivered by any
Purchaser to the Borrower on the Consummation Date of its Contract
shall be delivered by the Borrower to the applicable Escrow Agent
and shall be subject to the terms and requirements of this clause
(ii). The Borrower shall not permit any payments from the Purchaser
under any Contract to be escrowed or retained after the Consummation
Date in respect thereof. If the Borrower shall have provided
financing to the Purchaser under any Contract in order to consummate
such a sale and such Purchaser shall have executed and delivered to
the Borrower a Quartershare Note and Quartershare Mortgage in
respect thereof, the Borrower shall promptly sell such Quartershare
Note and Quartershare Mortgage to Textron Financial Corporation
under the Take-Out Facility. The Borrower shall irrevocably instruct
Textron Financial Corporation under the Take-Out Facility to deliver
all proceeds to the Administrative Agent which arise out of any
purchases of the Quartershare Notes (including, without limitation,
any payment to the Borrower by Textron Financial Corporation of cash
reserves originally withheld from any purchase by Textron Financial
Corporation of Quartershare Notes under and pursuant to the Take-Out
Facility and subsequently paid back to the Borrower). To the extent
that any of the cash downpayments, cash payments, loan proceeds
and/or sale proceeds in respect of any Contract shall be paid to the
Borrower, the Borrower shall hold the same in trust for the
Administrative Agent and promptly deliver the same to the
Administrative Agent. The escrow procedures and the escrow account
being used by each Escrow Agent shall be satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent. The Borrower shall cause such changes in such
escrow procedures (in accordance with applicable law and the terms
of any Contract and the escrow agreement in respect thereof and
subject to the approval of any applicable governmental agency or
agencies) as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request from
time to time. Upon not less than 30 days' prior written notice from
the Administrative Agent and subject to the receipt of all
applicable governmental agency approvals, the Borrower shall
establish a different escrowee for all Contracts to be entered into
thereafter, which escrowee shall be subject to the terms and
requirements set forth in this clause (ii) and shall be satisfactory
in all respects to the Administrative Agent, provided that the
Administrative Agent agrees not to request such a change of escrowee
unless a sufficient cause, in the reasonable judgment of the
Administrative Agent, shall have arisen to justify such change. All
payments made hereunder to the Administrative Agent in respect of
43
proceeds from the sale of any Quartershare Interest under a Contract
shall be net of all customary and normal costs of closing not
previously deducted from other proceeds in respect of such Contract.
On the Consummation Date of the sale of any Quartershare
Interest in any of the Projects made in the normal and ordinary
course of Borrower's business on an arm's-length basis to Persons
that are not Affiliates (or, with the prior consent of the
Administrative Agent, to an Affiliate), the cash downpayments, cash
payments, loan proceeds and/or sale proceeds paid to Administrative
Agent pursuant to this clause (ii) in respect thereof shall be
applied to the Loan and the other amounts owing hereunder and under
the Security Documents as provided in Section 2.5(d) hereof in an
amount equal to the Release Price applicable to such sale and the
remainder thereof shall be paid by the Administrative Agent to the
Borrower, provided that (1) if a Default or an Event of Default
shall then exist, the entire amount of such cash downpayments, cash
payments, loan proceeds and/or sale proceeds shall be applied
pursuant to Section 2.5(d) or Section 8.2(c) of this Agreement,
whichever shall be applicable, or (2) the Borrower may apply the
entire amount of such cash downpayments, cash payments, loan
proceeds and/or sale proceeds to the payment or prepayment of any or
all of the Obligations. Anything contained in this clause (ii)
notwithstanding, if any Quartershare Interest in any of the Projects
is sold in other than in the normal and ordinary course of
Borrower's business, or on other than an arm's-length basis, or to
Persons that are Affiliates (unless the Administrative Agent shall
have consented thereto), then Section 2.5(e) hereof shall be
applicable thereto. All payments to be applied to the Loan under
this clause (ii) shall be in good, collected funds in legal tender
of the United States of America.
(iii) With respect to the each sale of a Residential Unit, as
a condominium unit, the Borrower shall deliver, or cause to be
delivered, to the Administrative Agent all cash downpayments and all
other cash payments received by the Borrower and paid by the
purchaser of such Residential Unit under the contract of purchase in
respect thereof on the Consummation Date of such sale. The Borrower
agrees to instruct, and hereby so instructs, any escrowee involved
in connection with such sale to deliver directly to the
Administrative Agent all escrowed amounts in respect of such
contract of purchase held by it and any additional payments received
by it on the Consummation Date of such sale upon receipt by such
escrowee of a written confirmation from either the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent that such sale shall have been consummated. The
Borrower agrees that all payments delivered by any purchaser of a
Condominium Unit to the Borrower on the Consummation Date shall be
delivered by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent and shall be
subject to the terms and requirements of this clause (c). The
Borrower shall not permit any payments from any purchaser of a
Condominium Unit to be escrowed or retained after Consummation Date.
If the Borrower shall have provided financing to any purchaser of
any Residential Unit in order to consummate the sale of such
Residential Unit and such purchaser shall have executed and
delivered to the Borrower a note and mortgage in respect thereof,
the Borrower shall promptly sell or pledge, as the case may be, such
note and mortgage to a
44
lender or purchaser under, and pursuant to the terms of, an
appropriate take-out facility approved by the Administrative Agent.
The Borrower shall irrevocably instruct the lender or purchaser
under such take-out facility to deliver all proceeds to the
Administrative Agent which arise out of any purchases of such notes.
To the extent that any of the cash downpayments, cash payments, loan
proceeds and/or sale proceeds in respect of any sale of a
Condominium Unit shall be paid to the Borrower, the Borrower shall
hold the same in trust for the Administrative Agent and promptly
deliver the same to the Administrative Agent. The escrow procedures
and the escrow account being used by the Borrower in connection with
such sales shall be satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and
subject to the approval of any applicable governmental agency or
agencies. The Borrower shall cause such changes in such escrow
procedures (in accordance with applicable law and the terms of any
contract of purchase and the escrow agreement in respect thereof) as
the Administrative Agent may reasonably request from time to time.
Upon not less than 30 days' prior written notice from the
Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall establish a different
escrowee for all such contracts of purchase to be entered into
thereafter, which escrowee shall be subject to the terms and
requirements set forth in this clause (c) and shall be satisfactory
in all respects to the Administrative Agent. All payments made
hereunder to the Administrative Agent in respect of proceeds from
the sale of any Residential Unit shall be net of all customary and
normal costs of closing not previously deducted from other proceeds
in respect of such sale.
On the Consummation Date of the sale of any Residential Unit
in any of the Projects made in the normal and ordinary course of
Borrower's business on an arm's-length basis to Persons that are not
Affiliates (or, with the prior consent of the Administrative Agent,
to an Affiliate), the cash downpayments, cash payments, loan
proceeds and/or sale proceeds paid to Administrative Agent pursuant
to this clause (iii) in respect thereof shall be applied to the Loan
and the other amounts owing hereunder and under the Security
Documents as provided in Section 2.5(d) hereof in an amount equal to
the Release Price applicable to such sale and the remainder thereof
shall be paid by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower, provided
that (y) if a Default or an Event of Default shall then exist, the
entire amount of such cash downpayments, cash payments, loan
proceeds and/or sale proceeds shall be applied pursuant to Section
2.5(d) or Section 8.2(c) of this Agreement, whichever shall be
applicable and (z) the Borrower may apply the entire amount of such
cash downpayments, cash payments, loan proceeds and/or sale proceeds
to the payment or prepayment of any or all of the Obligations.
Anything contained in this clause (iii) notwithstanding, if any
Residential Unit in any of the Projects is sold in other than in the
normal and ordinary course of Borrower's business, or on other than
an arm's-length basis, or to Persons that are Affiliates (unless the
Administrative Agent shall have consented thereto), then Section
2.5(e) hereof shall be applicable thereto. All payments to be
applied to the Loan under this clause (iii) shall be in good,
collected funds in legal tender of the United States of America.
(iv) With respect to the each sale of a Commercial Unit, as a
condominium unit, the Borrower shall deliver, or cause to be
delivered, to the
45
Administrative Agent all cash downpayments and all other cash
payments received by the Borrower and paid by purchaser of such
Commercial Unit under the contract of purchase in respect thereof on
the Consummation Date of such sale. The Borrower agrees to instruct,
and hereby so instructs, any escrowee involved in connection with
such sale to deliver directly to the Administrative Agent all
escrowed amounts in respect of such contract of purchase held by it
and any additional payments received by it on the Consummation Date
of such sale upon receipt by such escrowee of a written confirmation
from either the Borrower or the Administrative Agent that such sale
shall have been consummated. The Borrower agrees that all payments
delivered by any purchaser of such Commercial Unit to the Borrower
on the Consummation Date shall be delivered by the Borrower to the
Administrative Agent and shall be subject to the terms and
requirements of this clause (iv). The Borrower shall not permit any
payments from any purchaser of a Commercial Unit to be escrowed or
retained after the Consummation Date of such sale. The Borrower
shall require that the sale of any Commercial Unit be for an all
cash consideration. To the extent that any of the cash downpayments
and cash payments in respect of a sale of a Commercial Unit shall be
paid to the Borrower, the Borrower shall hold the same in trust for
the Administrative Agent and promptly deliver the same to the
Administrative Agent. The escrow procedures and the escrow account
being used by the Borrower in connection with such sales shall be
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. The Borrower shall cause
such changes in such escrow procedures (in accordance with
applicable law and the terms of any contract of purchase and the
escrow agreement in respect thereof) as the Administrative Agent may
reasonably request from time to time. Upon not less than 30 days'
prior written notice from the Administrative Agent, the Borrower
shall establish a different escrowee for all such contracts of
purchase to be entered into thereafter, which escrowee shall be
subject to the terms and requirements set forth in this clause (iv)
and shall be satisfactory in all respects to the Administrative
Agent. All payments made hereunder to the Administrative Agent in
respect of proceeds from the sale of any Commercial Unit shall be
net of all customary and normal costs of closing not previously
deducted from other proceeds in respect of such sale.
On the Consummation Date of the sale of any Commercial Unit in
any of the Projects made in the normal and ordinary course of
Borrower's business on an arm's-length basis to Persons that are not
Affiliates (or, with the prior consent of the Administrative Agent,
to an Affiliate), the cash downpayments, cash payments, loan
proceeds and/or sale proceeds paid to Administrative Agent pursuant
to this clause (iv) in respect thereof shall be applied to the Loan
and the other amounts owing hereunder and under the Security
Documents as provided in Section 2.5(d) hereof in an amount equal to
the Release Price applicable to such sale and the remainder thereof
shall be paid by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower, provided
that (y) if a Default or an Event of Default shall then exist, the
entire amount of such cash downpayments, cash payments, loan
proceeds and/or sale proceeds shall be applied pursuant to Section
2.5(d) or Section 8.2(c) of this Agreement, whichever shall be
applicable, or (z) the Borrower may apply the entire amount of such
cash downpayments, cash payments, loan proceeds and/or sale proceeds
to the payment or prepayment of any or all of the
46
Obligations. Anything contained in this clause (iv) notwithstanding,
if any Commercial Unit in any of the Projects is sold in other than
in the normal and ordinary course of Borrower's business, or on
other than an arm's-length basis, or to Persons that are Affiliates
(unless the Administrative Agent shall have consented thereto), then
Section 2.5(e) hereof shall be applicable thereto. All payments to
be applied to the Loan under this clause (iv) shall be in good,
collected funds in legal tender of the United States of America.
(c) Borrowing Base Prepayments; Release Price Catch-up Payment.
(i) If on any date the aggregate original principal amount of
all Project Advances made hereunder with respect to all of the
Under-Construction Projects shall exceed the Aggregate Project
Borrowing Base, determined as of such date, the Borrower shall
immediately pay the amount of such excess to the Administrative
Agent together with interest accrued thereon to (but not including)
the date of such payment and such amounts shall be applied by the
Administrative Agent when received in good, collected funds as set
forth in Section 2.5(d) hereof.
(ii) If on any date the aggregate original principal amount of
all Project Advances made hereunder with respect to any
Under-Construction Project shall exceed the Project Borrowing Base
for such Under-Construction Project, determined as of such date, the
Borrower shall immediately pay the amount of such excess to the
Administrative Agent together with interest accrued thereon to (but
not including) the date of such payment and such amounts shall be
applied by the Administrative Agent when received in good, collected
funds as set forth in Section 2.5(d) hereof.
(iii) If, as of each March 31st, June 30th, September 30th and
December 31st on and after the Closing Date (each such date is
referred to as a "Quarterly Testing Date"), the outstanding
principal balance of the Loan on such Quarterly Testing Date exceeds
the Projected Inventory Loan Amount, determined for such Quarterly
Testing Date, then the Borrower shall, promptly upon the receipt of
a written notice from the Administrative Agent (as instructed by the
Required Lenders), and in any case within 10 days after the receipt
of such written notice, pay to the Administrative Agent the
remainder of
(A) the aforesaid principal balance of the Loan on such
Quarterly Testing Date minus
(B) such Projected Inventory Loan Amount,
and such payment shall be applied to the then outstanding principal
balance of the Loan as provided in Section 2.5(d) hereof. With
respect to any Quarterly Testing Date, the aforesaid remainder is
referred to herein as the "Release Price Catch-Up Payment."
47
(d) Application of Lease Payments, Sales Proceeds and Other
Payments. Subject to the appropriate application of Section 8.2(c) hereof,

retained by the Borrower or, if delivered to the Administrative Agent,
shall be delivered to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent in the form
so received.
(e) No Voluntary Prepayments. Borrower shall not have the right to
voluntarily prepay the Loan except in connection with the sales of
Quartershare Interests, Residential Units and/or Commercial Units in any
of the Projects made in the normal and ordinary course of Borrower's
business on an arm's-length basis to Persons that are not Affiliates or,
with the prior consent of the Administrative Agent, to an Affiliate, and
except as otherwise set forth in this Section 2.5 or in Sections 3.5 or
3.6 hereof. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that if any of the
Quartershare Interests, Residential Units and/or Commercial Units in any
of the Projects are sold in other than in the normal and ordinary course
of Borrower's business, or on other than an arm's-length basis, or to
Persons that are Affiliates (unless the Administrative Agent shall have
consented thereto), then the Borrower shall not have the right to prepay
the Loan. In such event, the Borrower's obligation to make the payments
set forth in Section 2.5 hereof shall be mandatory but the Administrative
Agent shall have the right to retain such payments as additional
Collateral hereunder on behalf of the Lenders and not apply it as set
forth in Section 2.5(d) hereof.
2.6 Participating Lender.
(a) Participations. Each of the Lenders shall have the right,
without prior notice to the Borrower or the approval of the Borrower, to
designate one or more Participating Lenders and to grant to such
Participating Lenders participations in such Lender's Pro Rata Share of
the Loan on terms and conditions satisfactory to such Lender.
50
In the event that such Lender so designates such a Participating Lender
and grants such Participating Lender a participation in its Pro Rata Share
of the Loan, such Participating Lender shall communicate and deal only
with such Lender in respect to such Participating Lender's interest in
such Loan and neither the Borrower nor the Administrative Agent shall be
obligated to communicate or deal with such Participating Lender. Anything
contained in this Section 2.6(a) notwithstanding, the Borrower and each
Lender hereby acknowledge and agree that, solely for purposes of Section
11.7 and Section 11.8 hereof, (i) any participation held by a
Participating Lender will give rise to a direct obligation of Borrower to
such Participating Lender and (ii) such Participating Lender shall be
considered to be a "Lender" hereunder.
(b) Assignments. Each Lender shall have the right, at any time, to
sell, assign or transfer to any Eligible Assignee all or any part of its
Commitment or its Pro Rata Share of the Loan, provided that
(i) no such sale, assignment or transfer shall, without the
prior written consent of the Borrower, require the Borrower to file
a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission
or apply to qualify such sale, assignment or transfer under the
securities laws of any state, and
(ii) no such sale, assignment or transfer shall be effective
unless and until an assignment agreement effecting such sale,
assignment or transfer, in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, shall have been accepted
by the Administrative Agent, and
(iii) no such sale, assignment or transfer shall be effected
in an amount of less than $1,000,000.
To the extent of any such assignment in accordance with the requirements
of this Section 2.6(b), the assigning Lender shall be relieved of its
obligations with respect to its Commitment and its Pro Rata Share of the
Loans or the portion thereof so assigned. Upon such execution, deliver and
acceptance from and after the effective date specified in the aforesaid
assignment agreement, (A) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto
and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been
assigned to it pursuant to such assignment agreement, shall have the
rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder and (B) the assigning Lender
thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have
been assigned by it pursuant to such assignment agreement, relinquish its
rights and be released from its obligations under this Agreement. The
Commitments hereunder shall be modified to reflect the Commitment of such
assignee and any remaining Commitment of such assigning Lender and, if any
such assignment occurs after the issuance of the Notes hereunder, the
assigning Lender shall, upon the effectiveness of such assignment or as
promptly thereafter as practicable, surrender its Note to the Borrower for
cancellation, and thereupon new Notes shall be issued by the Borrower to
the assignee and to the assigning Lender, substantially in the form of
Exhibit G attached hereto with appropriate insertions, to reflect the new
Commitments of the assignee and the assigning Lender. Except as otherwise
provided in this Section 2.6(b) and in Section 2.3(a)(i) hereof, no Lender
shall, as between the Borrower and such
51
Lender, be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder as a result of any
sale, assignment or transfer of all or any part of its Commitment or its
Pro Rata Share of the Loans.
(c) Information. Each Lender and the Administrative Agent may
furnish any information concerning the Borrower, any of the Projects, the
Collateral and the Security Documents in the possession of such Person
from time to time to assignees and Participating Lenders (including,
without limitation, prospective assignees and participants), subject to
the prior execution of a confidentiality agreement by any such assignee or
Participating Lender or any such prospective assignee or prospective
Participating Lender in form and substance substantially similar to the
form of confidentiality agreement executed by such Lender or the
Administrative Agent, provided that no such confidentiality agreement
shall be required to be executed in connection with any such assignee or
Participating Lender that is an affiliate of such Lender and would,
pursuant to the terms of the confidentiality agreement executed by such
Lender, be covered by such confidentiality agreement.
2.7 Commitment Fee.
The Borrower agrees to pay to each of the Lenders its Pro Rata Share of a
total commitment fee of $550,000 in connection with the Loan. Borrower and
Lenders acknowledge the payment to the Lenders by Borrower of an aggregate
amount of $75,000 in respect of the foregoing fee. An additional $475,000 of the
foregoing fee shall be due and payable to the Lenders (to be shared in
accordance with their Pro Rata Shares) on the date of the making of the Pre-Sale
Advance. To the extent that the Borrower shall have paid the remaining $475,000
owing hereunder to the Administrative Agent, as required by Section 5.9 hereof,
and any Lender fails to extend on or after the Closing Date its Pro Rata Share
of the Pre-Sale Advance with respect to which all conditions precedent have been
satisfied and for which the Borrower shall have not failed to perform any
undertaking or Obligation required of it hereunder, such Lender shall, upon
receipt of a written demand from the Borrower, pay to the Borrower its Pro Rata
Share (based upon its Commitment) of such $550,000 less any Loan Costs incurred
by such Lender. The full commitment fee of $550,000 shall be deemed to have been
irrevocably earned upon the Lenders' willingness to advance the Pre-Sale Advance
on or prior to August 31, 1997 and the Borrower being either unwilling to accept
such Advance during such time period or having failed to satisfy the requisite
conditions precedent set forth in Section 5 hereof with respect to such Advance
during such time period.
2.8 Right of First Refusal.
If, at any time during the Commitment Period or at any time thereafter
when any Obligation shall be outstanding hereunder or the Take-Out Facility
shall still be in effect, the Borrower or any Affiliate shall have obtained a
bona fide third-party offer (the "Third-Party Offer") for the financing of any
Subsequent Phase, the Borrower shall, in writing, promptly inform the
Administrative Agent (such writing to the Administrative Agent is referred to
herein as the "TFC First Refusal Offer") of such Third-Party Offer and the terms
and conditions of such Third-Party Offer (and shall attach a copy of such
Third-Party Offer to such TFC First Refusal Offer) and, in such TFC First
Refusal Offer, shall offer, or shall cause its Affiliate to offer, to the
Lenders a right of first refusal (based on their respective Pro Rata Shares) in
respect of such financing. Such right of first refusal shall grant the Lenders
the right to, within 20 Business Days after the receipt
52
of such TFC First Refusal Offer, deliver a writing to the Borrower or such
Affiliate (the "TFC Acceptance") stating that Lenders agree to extend such
financing on terms which shall be the same or better than both (a) the terms of
financing under such Third-Party Offer (as such terms were communicated to the
Administrative Agent by the Borrower) and (b) the terms of financing that would
have applied hereunder if such financing were had hereunder. Upon receipt of the
TFC Acceptance by the Borrower, the Lenders and the Borrower (or such Affiliate)
shall be deemed to have reached an agreement for such financing on the terms set
forth in such TFC Acceptance (subject to the satisfaction of appropriate
conditions in respect of due diligence, documentation and other customary and
commercial conditions precedent, including, without limitation, appropriate
modifications and amendments to this Agreement, the Blanket Mortgages and the
other Security Documents). If any Lender shall have declined to exercise its
right under such TFC First Refusal Offer, or shall have failed to timely respond
to such TFC First Refusal Offer or shall have offered a counterproposal to the
Borrower (or such Affiliate) in respect of such TFC First Refusal Offer, the
Borrower (or such Affiliate) shall be free to close such Third-Party Offer
within 180 days of the date of such TFC First Refusal Offer on terms
substantially similar to the terms thereof set forth in such Third-Party Offer
(as communicated to the Administrative Agent), provided that if one Lender shall
have declined to exercise its right under such TFC First Refusal Offer or shall
have failed to timely respond, the other Lender may elect within the aforesaid
20 day period, to assume such declining or failing Lender's Pro Rata Share of
the TFC First Refusal Offer. If the Borrower (or such Affiliate) shall have
failed to so close such financing within said 180 days, then a new right of
first refusal for the benefit of the Lenders with respect to such financing
shall immediately arise. The Borrower agrees to inform any Person making a
Third-Party Offer of the Lenders' rights under this Section 2.8 in respect
thereof. This Section 2.8 shall survive the final payment of all of the
Obligations and the resulting termination of this Agreement.
With respect to any Third-Party Offer that is paired with a take-out
facility with respect to the quartershare notes expected to be generated from
the sale of quartershare interests in such Subsequent Phase, the Lenders shall
only have a right to issue a TFC Acceptance if the Lenders pair such TFC
Acceptance with an offer of a take-out facility with respect to the quartershare
notes expected to be generated from the sale of quartershare interests in such
Subsequent Phase that is on terms that are the same or better than both (i) the
terms of the take-out facility associated with such Third-Party Offer and (ii)
the terms under the Take-Out Facility if then maintained by Textron Financial
Corporation.

(2) the personal Property located at the Projects
(including, without limitation, the furniture, fixtures and
furnishings thereof),
(3) all other equipment and other personal Property of
every nature whatsoever now or hereafter located in or on, or
attached to, and used or intended to be used in connection
with any of the Projects, and

to be maintained during the construction and development of each
Under-Construction Project and to cover materials in as well as
adjacent to the structures so insured; such insurance (other than
such builder's risk insurance) shall also be maintained after such

casualty insurance shall (aa) in no case be in an amount less than
an amount sufficient to rebuild each Project or the portions thereof
which shall have suffered the loss and replace any of the personal
Property located therein, (bb) be sufficient to avoid
58
any co-insurance requirements in respect of the Borrower and/or the
Associations, and (cc) be sufficient to provide funds to fully
compensate owners of Quartershare Interests, Residential Units and
Commercial Units for any inability to utilize any such condominium
units or the Common Elements during any period following a loss

the extent permitted by applicable law and the Declarations),
certificates of insurance to the Administrative Agent, with
satisfactory lender's loss payable endorsements naming the
Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders as loss payee to the

Closing Date. Each policy of such insurance or endorsement with
respect thereto shall contain a clause requiring the insurer to give
not less than 30 days' prior written notice to the Administrative
Agent in the event of cancellation of the policy for any reason
whatsoever and a clause that the interest of the Administrative
Agent shall not be impaired or invalidated by any act or neglect of
the Borrower or owner of the Property nor by the occupation of the
premises for purposes more hazardous than are permitted by said
policy. If the Borrower shall fail to provide for such insurance, or
have the same provided for, the Administrative Agent may, at the
Borrower's expense, procure the same, but shall not be required to
do so.
(ii) The Borrower shall maintain or cause to be maintained
insurance with financially sound and reputable insurers with respect
to its Property and business (including, without limitation, the
Collateral) covering any public liability of the Borrower, its
officers, agents or employees (including, without limitation, damage
by Borrower or its officers, agents or employees to the Property of
other Persons, any bodily injury caused by Borrower or its officers,
agents or employees to any other Person, or any negligent act or
other similar liability of Borrower or its officers, agents or
employees) and in such amounts as are satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent; the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall
be named as an additional insureds thereon. The Borrower shall, as
provided in the Declarations, cause the Associations to maintain
insurance with financially sound and reputable insurers with respect
to the Projects covering any public liability of the Associations or
their officers, agents or employees to the Property of other
Persons, any bodily injury caused by the Associations or their
officers, agents or employees to any other Person, or any negligent
act or other similar liability of the Association or its officers,
agents or employees) and in such amounts as are provided for in the
Declarations.

the Associations to submit, to the Administrative Agent insurance
certificates showing the type and amounts of insurance coverage
maintained in respect of the Projects. The Borrower shall, to the
extent permitted by applicable law and the Declarations, cause all
casualty policies of insurance provided under the Declarations to
have mortgagee endorsements in respect of the Administrative Agent's
interests in and to the Quartershare Interests, Residential Units,
and/or Commercial Units that are the subject of the Blanket
Mortgages or any Quartershare Mortgage in which the Lender may have
a security interest and Lien hereunder.
59
(iv) The Borrower shall pay, or cause the Associations to pay,
all premiums on the aforesaid insurance policies and all other fees
and charges payable in connection with such insurance policies (such
premiums, fees and charges being collectively referred to herein as
"Insurance Premiums") not later than the due date thereof. If the
Borrower shall fail to pay, or cause the Associations to pay, any
such Insurance Premiums, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not
be obligated to), at Borrower's expense and upon the written
instructions of the Required Lenders, pay the same. Any such payment
shall be subject to Section 3.11 and Section 3.12 hereof.
(v) If the Mortgaged Property (under and as defined in any of
the Blanket Mortgages) or any portion is sold at a foreclosure sale
or if any Lender shall acquire title to said Mortgaged Property or
any such portion, such Lender shall have all of the right, title and
interest of the Borrower in and to all insurance policies required
under this Section 3.5(a) and the unearned premiums thereon, related
to such Mortgaged Property or such portion, and in and to the
proceeds resulting from any damage to said Mortgaged Property or
such portion prior to such sale or acquisition.
(vi) Borrower agrees to cause any contractor hired by it to
effect any of the construction and development of any
Under-Construction Project to carry adequate insurance in respect of
bodily injury or other personal liability or property damage in
respect of its employees or other third persons in connection with
such construction and development. Borrower shall use its best
efforts to cause certificates of such insurance to be filed with the
Administrative Agent.
(vii) Anything contained in this Section 3.5(a) to the
contrary notwithstanding, any of the undertakings of the Borrower in
this Section 3.5(a) in respect of insuring the Projects or in
respect of causing the Associations to perform any undertaking under
this Section 3.5(a) shall be subject to the requirements of the
condominium acts or other common interest ownership acts as adopted
and in effect from time to time in the States in which the Project
are situated, and the rules and regulations as adopted from time to
time thereunder and the Declarations.
(b) Condominium Insurance Proceeds.
(i) Any proceeds of insurance in respect of the Projects
received by the Associations or any manager retained by it and then
further paid by the Associations or such manager to the Borrower
(whether as Declarant or otherwise), as provided for in the
Declarations, shall be promptly paid and/or turned over by the
Borrower to the Administrative Agent as proceeds of the Collateral
and applied to the prepayment of the Loan as provided in Section
2.5(d) hereof.
(ii) Without limiting the immediately preceding paragraph, any
proceeds of insurance in respect of the Projects received by the
Borrower at a time during which the insurance provisions of the
relevant Declaration shall not be in effect as
60
to the affected Project shall be treated as provided in Section
3.5(c) of this Agreement.
(c) Miscellaneous Application of Insurance Proceeds. In connection
with, and pursuant to, Section 3.5(b)(ii) hereof, the Lenders and the
Borrower agree to the following:
(i) Following the occurrence of any Default or Event of
Default (provided that if such Default or Event of Default is cured
by the Borrower, then clause (ii) below and not this clause (i)
shall thereafter apply), the Administrative Agent at the instruction
of the Required Lenders is hereby authorized and empowered to adjust
or compromise any loss under any insurance policies maintained
pursuant to this Section 3.5, and to collect and receive the
proceeds from any such policies. In such event, each insurance
company is hereby authorized and directed to make payment for all
such losses directly to the Administrative Agent, instead of to the
Borrower (and/or the applicable Association) and the Administrative
Agent jointly. In the event any insurance company fails to disburse
directly and solely to the Administrative Agent but disburses
instead either solely to the Borrower or to the Borrower (and/or any
Association) and the Administrative Agent jointly, the Borrower
agrees immediately to endorse and transfer, or cause to be endorsed
and transferred, such proceeds to the Administrative Agent. Upon the
failure of the Borrower to endorse and transfer such proceeds as
aforesaid (or cause the same to be done), the Administrative Agent
at the instruction of the Required Lenders may execute such
endorsements or transfers for and in the name of the Borrower
(whether as Declarant or otherwise) and the Borrower hereby
unconditionally and irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as
the Borrower's agent and attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest,
to endorse and transfer such proceeds to the Administrative Agent on
behalf of the Lenders. After deducting from said insurance proceeds
all of its expenses incurred in the collection and administration of
such sums, including attorneys' fees, the Administrative Agent may
apply the net proceeds or any part thereof, as instructed by the
Required Lenders, (i) to payment of the Obligations, whether or not
due, as provided in Section 2.5(d) hereof, (ii) to the repair and/or
restoration of the applicable Project or (iii) for any other
purposes or objects for which the Administrative Agent or the
Lenders are entitled to advance funds under this Agreement or any of
the other Security Documents; all without affecting the Liens and
security interests of this Agreement and the other Security
Documents. Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Lenders shall be
held responsible for any failure to collect any insurance proceeds
due under the terms of any policy regardless of the cause of such
failure.
(ii) Prior to the occurrence of any Default or Event of
Default and if the Borrower gives the Administrative Agent notice of
any casualty as provided in clause (d) below, the Borrower shall
have the right to adjust and compromise losses under insurance
policies and to collect and receive insurance proceeds and shall
apply such insurance proceeds with respect to such losses solely and
exclusively to the repair and restoration of the affected Project
or, if consented to
61
by the Administrative Agent at the instruction of the Required
Lenders, to the payment of the Obligations as the Borrower deems
appropriate in its reasonable discretion. With respect to any such
casualty loss, the Borrower shall have the right to use any
insurance proceeds received on account of such loss to the repair
and restoration of the affected Project, provided that prior written
notice is given with respect thereto to the Administrative Agent and
the scope and plans for the repair or restoration have been approved
by the Administrative Agent, which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed if the repair or restoration will
result in a new "resort" which is substantially comparable to the
pre-existing "resort" at such Project in terms of overall usable
square footage and types of functions served by such pre-existing
"resort", the new "resort" is constructed with the same or better
quality of materials and workmanship as such pre-existing "resort,"
and is constructed in accordance with the applicable requirements of
then existing zoning, design and building codes and other applicable
laws, the applicable CCR's and market considerations. All such
repair and restoration shall be diligently prosecuted to completion
by the Borrower and shall be completed on or prior to the Maturity
Date or, if earlier, the maturity date of the Project Advances
related to such Project if such Project is an Under-Construction
Project.
(d) Borrower Undertakings. In the event of any material casualty or
loss in respect of any of the Projects (including, without limitation, any
of the Collateral), (i) the Borrower shall immediately notify the
Administrative Agent of the same and (ii) the Administrative Agent may, in
addition to its rights as mortgagee under the Blanket Mortgages, elect (at
the instruction of the Required Lenders) to exercise the voting rights of
the Borrower as a mortgagee or a holder of a security interest in respect
of any Quartershare Mortgage pledged to the Administrative Agent hereunder
or as the owner of any Quartershare Interest, Residential Unit or
Commercial Unit, as such voting rights are provided for under the
applicable Declaration, regarding all matters of repair and restoration.
In the event of any casualty or loss in respect of any Project (including,
without limitation, any of the Collateral), the Borrower shall pay all
assessments as required by the applicable Declaration and/or the
applicable Articles of Incorporation or By-Laws for repair and restoration
due to inadequacy of insurance.
3.6 Condemnation.
(a) Condominium/Timeshare Condemnation Compensation.
(i) Any compensation, awards, damages, claims, rights of
action, proceeds, payment and other relief (collectively,
"Condemnation Compensation") of, or on account of, any damage or
taking of all or any part of the Projects in connection with any
condemnation proceedings or any exercise of the power of eminent
domain (or any conveyance in lieu of or under threat of any such
taking), including, without limitation, any such Condemnation
Compensation for change of grade of streets or any other injury to
or decrease in the value of all or any part of the Projects, payable
to any Association or any manager retained by it and paid further by
such Association or such manager to the Borrower (whether as
Declarant or otherwise), as provided for in the applicable
Declaration, shall be
62
promptly paid and/or turned over to the Administrative Agent as
proceeds of the Collateral or otherwise and, subject to clause (ii)
below if such clause shall then be applicable, applied to the
prepayment of the Loan, as provided in Section 2.5(d) hereof.
(ii) Any Condemnation Compensation in respect of any of the
Projects received by the Borrower at a time during which the
condemnation provisions of the relevant Declaration shall not be in
effect with respect to the affected Project shall be treated as
provided in Section 3.6(b) below.
(b) Miscellaneous Application of Condemnation Compensation. In
connection with, and pursuant to, Section 3.6(a)(ii) hereof, the Lenders
and the Borrower agree to the following:
(i) if all or any portion of any Project shall be damaged or
taken through condemnation (which term when used in this Agreement
shall include any damage or taking by any governmental authority and
any transfer by private sale in lieu thereof), so as to, either
(A) temporarily or permanently, materially adversely
affect the type or scope of resort operations existing prior
to the condemnation or taking of, or the net operating income
of, such Project (both being determined by Administrative
Agent in its sole and absolute discretion), or
(B) result in Condemnation Compensation in excess of
$500,000,
then the all of the Project Advances (together with accrued and
unpaid interest thereon and such Project advances' ratable share of
all Interest Advances then outstanding and the Pre-Sale Advance then
outstanding) relating to such Project shall, at the option of the
Required Lenders, become immediately due and payable.
(ii) The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to receive all
Condemnation Compensation payable with respect to any condemnation
or taking. The application of such Condemnation Compensation shall
be as set forth below in clause (iii) below. The Administrative
Agent is hereby authorized, at the instruction of the Required
Lenders, to commence, appear in and prosecute, in its own or in
Borrower's name, any action or proceeding relating to any
condemnation or taking, and to settle or compromise any claim in
connection therewith. All Condemnation Compensation and the rights
thereto are hereby assigned by Borrower to Administrative Agent on
behalf of the Lenders.
(iii) After deducting from any Condemnation Compensation all
of its expenses incurred in the collection and administration
thereof, including attorney's fees, the Administrative Agent shall,
if no Default or Event of Default shall then exist, or may, at the
instruction of the Required Lenders, if a Default or Event of
63
Default shall then exist, make the net Condemnation Compensation
available to Borrower to repair and/or restore the affected Project,
provided that
(1) Borrower requests that such proceeds be made
available for repairing or restoring such Project in a written
notice delivered to Administrative Agent within 30 days after
the occurrence of the condemnation or taking,
(2) Administrative Agent and the Lenders approve
Borrower's plans for repair and/or replacement of such
Project, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed,
(3) any such repairs must restore such Project to at
least as good condition as prior to the condemnation or
taking,
(4) any replacement shall be of the same or equal value
to the Property replaced, and
(5) Administrative Agent must determine that the repairs
or replacement can be substantially completed prior to the
Maturity Date or, if earlier, the maturity date of the Project
Advances related to such Project.
If Borrower fails to comply with any of the requirements set forth
in the immediately preceding sentence or if a Default or Event of
Default exists and the Administrative Agent shall have decided not
to make such net Condemnation Compensation available to Borrower,
the Administrative Agent may, at the instruction of the Required
Lenders, apply such net Condemnation Compensation or any part
thereof, (A) to the payment of the aforesaid Obligations, whether or
not due, as provided in Section 2.5(d) hereof, or (B) for any other
purposes or objects for which the Administrative Agent is entitled
to advance funds under this Agreement, all without affecting the
security interests or Liens of this Agreement or any of the other
Security Documents. All net Condemnation Compensation to be
disbursed by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this clause (iii)
shall be disbursed in a manner acceptable to the Administrative
Agent as the repair and/or replacement work proceeds. Neither the
Administrative Agent nor the Lenders shall be held responsible for
any failure to collect any condemnation regardless of the reason for
such failure. Borrower agrees to execute such further assignment of
any compensation, awards, damages, claims, rights of action and
proceeds as the Administrative Agent may require. All repair and/or
replacement work shall be diligently prosecuted to completion by the
Borrower and shall be completed prior to the Maturity Date or, if
earlier, the maturity date of the Project Advances related to such
Project.
(c) Borrower Undertakings. In the event of any condemnation or
taking in respect of any Project (including, without limitation, any of
the Collateral), (i) the Borrower shall immediately notify the
Administrative Agent of the same, (ii) the Administrative Agent may, in
addition to its rights under the Blanket Mortgages, elect to exercise the
voting
64
rights of the Borrower as mortgagee or the holder of a security interest
in respect of any Quartershare Mortgage pledged to it hereunder relating
to such Project or as the owner of any Quartershare Interest, Residential
Unit and/or Commercial Unit relating to such Project, as such voting
rights are provided for under the applicable Declaration, regarding all
matters of repair and restoration, and (iii) the Borrower shall pay all
assessments as required by the applicable Declaration and/or Articles of
Incorporation or By-Laws for repair and restoration due to inadequacy of
the Condemnation Compensation.
3.7 Taxes Affecting Collateral.
The Borrower shall pay or, as provided in the Declarations, cause the
Associations to pay, on or before the last day when they may be paid without
interest or penalty, all taxes, assessments, rates, dues, charges, fees, levies,
excises, duties, fines, impositions, liabilities, obligations and encumbrances
(including, without limitation, water and sewer rents and charges, charges for
setting or repairing meters and charges for other utilities or services),
general or special, ordinary or extraordinary, foreseen or unforeseen, of every
kind whatsoever, now or hereafter imposed, levied or assessed by any public or
quasi-public authority or instrumentality upon or against any of the Collateral
or the use, occupancy or possession of any Project, or upon or against this
Agreement, the Notes or the other Security Documents, the Obligations or the
interest of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in the Contracts, any of the
contracts of purchase in respect of the Residential Units and/or Commercial
Units or the Blanket Mortgages or any other item of Collateral (provided that
this Section 3.7 shall not be construed to require the Borrower to pay any
income tax imposed upon the general income of the Administrative Agent or the
Lenders), as well as all assessments and other governmental or
quasi-governmental charges imposed, levied or assessed in respect of any
Collateral, and any and all interest, costs and penalties on or with respect to
any of the foregoing (collectively, the "Impositions"). Upon request by the
Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall deliver, or cause the Associations to
deliver, to the Administrative Agent receipts or other satisfactory proof of
payment of any Impositions.
The Borrower shall not claim, demand or be entitled to receive any
reduction of, or credit toward, any Imposition on account of the Obligations. No
deduction shall be claimed from the taxable value of any Collateral or any
Project by reason of the Obligations, any of the Security Documents or the
interest of the Lender in the Collateral.
If existing laws or procedures governing the taxation of mortgages,
security documents or debts secured by deeds of trusts, mortgages or other
security documents shall be changed in any manner after the date hereof so as to
materially adversely impair the security of the Blanket Mortgages or the
security interest herein granted or granted in any of the other Security
Documents or to reduce the net income to any of the Lenders in respect of its
Pro Rata Share of the Obligations (excluding from any such determination of net
income any reduction in such net income attributable to a change in taxes
imposed on, or measured by, the net income of such Lender), then, upon request
by such Lender, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender or to the taxing authority
(if so directed by such Lender), all taxes, charges and related costs for which
the Lender may be liable as a result thereof.
The Borrower shall pay, or cause to be paid, when due, any and all
recording (deed of trust, mortgage or personal property), intangible property
and documentary stamp taxes, all
65
similar taxes, and all filing, registration and recording fees, which are now or
hereafter may become payable in connection with the Obligations, the Blanket
Mortgages, this Agreement, any of the other Security Documents, the Quartershare
Mortgages or any of the other Collateral. The Borrower shall pay when due any
and all excise, transfer and conveyance taxes which are now or hereafter may
become payable in connection with the Obligations, the Blanket Mortgages, any
Quartershare Mortgage, this Agreement or any of the other Security Documents, or
in connection with any foreclosure of the Blanket Mortgages, any Quartershare
Mortgage or any other foreclosure of any Collateral under this Agreement or
under any of the other Security Documents, or any other transfer of any item of
Collateral in extinguishment of all or any part of the Obligations or any other
enforcement of the rights of the Lender with respect thereto.
3.8 Discharge of Liens Affecting Collateral.
If any mechanic's, laborer's, materialman's, statutory or other Lien shall
be filed or otherwise imposed upon or against any item of the Collateral or any
of the Projects, then the Borrower shall, within 30 days after being given
notice of the filing of such Lien or otherwise becoming aware of the imposition
of such Lien, cause such Lien to be vacated or discharged of record by payment,
deposit, bond, final order of a court of competent jurisdiction or otherwise.
The Borrower shall have the right, at its sole expense, to contest the
validity of any such Lien or of the claim evidenced or secured thereby, by
appropriate proceedings commenced prior to the expiration of the aforesaid
30-day period and thereafter diligently and continuously conducted in good faith
to final determination, in which event the Borrower shall not be required to
cause any such Lien to be vacated or discharged of record in accordance with the
immediately preceding paragraph if, and only so long as:
(a) no final judicial determination in respect of any foreclosure or
other enforcement proceeding in respect of such Lien or the claim
evidenced or secured thereby shall have been rendered and no nonjudicial
foreclosure proceeding or sale in respect of such Lien or such claim shall
have been commenced;
(b) no claim for liability of any kind shall have been asserted
against the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with such
Lien or the claim evidenced or secured thereby; and
(c) if such Lien shall secure a claim of more than $50,000, the
Borrower shall have established an escrow with the Administrative Agent,
or shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent a satisfactory bond
issued by a surety acceptable to the Administrative Agent or a
satisfactory letter of credit for the benefit of the Administrative Agent
issued by a bank acceptable to the Administrative Agent, in each case in
an amount estimated by the Administrative Agent to be adequate to cover
(i) the unpaid amount of such claim, (ii) all interest, penalties and
similar charges which reasonably can be expected to accrue by reason of
such contest or by reason of such nonpayment, and (iii) all costs, fees
and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees and
disbursements) which reasonably can be expected to be incurred in
connection therewith by the Administrative Agent, which escrow, bond or
letter of credit shall be maintained in effect throughout such contest and
the amount of which shall be increased from time to
66
time if reasonably required by the Lender to cover the foregoing amounts
in subclause (i), subclause (ii) and subclause (iii).
The Borrower shall inform the Administrative Agent, in advance and in
writing, of its intention to contest any Lien securing a claim, or such claim
itself, under this Section 3.8 if such claim shall exceed $50,000.
Upon termination of any such contest (whether by final determination or
otherwise), or at any time during the course of any such contest that the
conditions relieving the Borrower of its obligation to cause such Lien to be
vacated or discharged shall no longer be satisfied or shall be discovered not to
have been satisfied, the Borrower shall cause such Lien to be vacated or
discharged of record. At the Administrative Agent's option (at the instruction
of the Required Lenders), the escrow established or bond or letter of credit, as
the case may be, delivered pursuant to this Section 3.8 may be, in the case of
the escrow, liquidated, or, in the case of the bond or the letter of credit,
drawn upon, at such time and the proceeds thereof may be applied to payment of
all or any part of the claim evidenced or secured by such Lien and the interest,
penalties, charges, costs, fees and expenses (including, without limitation,
attorneys' fees and disbursements) referred to in subclause (ii) and subclause
(iii) of the immediately preceding paragraph. Promptly after such Lien has been
vacated or discharged of record, the Borrower shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative
Agent that such Lien has been vacated or discharged of record. Thereafter, the
amount then remaining in the escrow established pursuant to this Section 3.8 or

emission of waste water effluent, the treatment, transportation, disposal,

substances and air pollution, and/or setting forth general environmental

to the extent that the failure to so comply could have a material and adverse
effect on the business, prospects, profits, Property or condition (financial or
otherwise) of the Borrower or any one or more of the Projects.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Borrower shall not
release or otherwise dispose of any Hazardous Substance or any other substance
regulated, controlled or described as hazardous under any Environmental
Protection Law on or beneath any real Property owned, leased or otherwise used
by the Borrower or allow the same to occur with any of the Projects in violation
of any Environmental Protection Law; and no asbestos, urea formaldehyde foam,
polychlorinated biphenyls, aluminum wire or lead-containing paint shall be
installed or used on any such Property or any Project. The Borrower shall not
take or suffer to be taken any act or omission that would subject it or any
Project to liability under any Environmental Protection Law which liability
could have a material and adverse effect on the business, prospects, profits,
Property or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower or any one or
more of the Projects.
105
The Administrative Agent shall have the right, but shall not be obligated,
to notify any state, federal or local governmental authority of information
which may come to its attention with respect to Hazardous Substances on or
emanating from any Project and the Borrower irrevocably releases the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders from any claims of loss, damage, liability,
expense or injury relating to or arising from, directly or indirectly, any such
disclosure. The Administrative Agent will notify the Borrower prior to or
contemporaneously with any action taken by the Administrative Agent pursuant to
this paragraph, provided that the failure by the Administrative Agent to provide
such notification shall not affect any action so taken.
Without limiting the scope and the effectiveness of the foregoing
undertakings in this Section 7.8, the Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders harmless from and against any losses,
liabilities, damages, claims, causes of action, costs or expenses (including,
without limitation, attorneys' fees and disbursements), arising from, incurred
by, or asserted against, any one or more of the Administrative Agent or the
Lenders in connection with any cleanup, removal or similar protective or
remedial action that may be required or undertaken by any governmental authority
as a result of the presence of any Hazardous Substances at any Project, the
release of any other Hazardous Substance on or from any Project or the
generation, treatment, storage, handling or disposal of any Hazardous Substances
on or from any Project (unless such presence, release, generation, treatment,
storage, handling or disposal is directly caused by the Administrative Agent
and/or the Lenders or by any agent of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders
acting under the Administrative Agent's or the Lenders' direct orders). The
liability of the Borrower to Administrative Agent or any Lender under this
paragraph shall survive any assignment, transfer, discharge or foreclosure of
the Blanket Mortgages or any transfer of any Project (or any portion thereof) by
deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, and any one or more transfers of any
Project (or any portion thereof) by deed or otherwise, by whosoever made.
If the Borrower fails to diligently take any action required under this
Section 7.8 or by any governmental entity with respect to the cleanup, control
or reporting of any Hazardous Substances, materials or wastes in, on, from or
under any Project, the Administrative Agent, at the instruction of the Required
Lenders, may enter upon such Project, retain such experts and consultants at the
expense of the Borrower and take such action as the Administrative Agent deems
advisable, and the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, advance
such sums of money as it deems necessary, with respect to the cleanup, control
or reporting of any such substances, materials or wastes in, on or under such
Project. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent immediately and upon
demand, all sums of money so advanced or expended by the Administrative Agent
pursuant to this paragraph, together with interest on each such advance at the
Default Rate, and all such sums, and the interest thereon, shall be secured by
the Collateral. The Administrative Agent will notify the Borrower prior to or
contemporaneously with any action taken by the Administrative Agent pursuant to
this paragraph, provided that the failure by the Administrative Agent to provide
such notification shall not affect any action so taken.
7.9 Transactions with Affiliates; Principal Properties.
The Borrower shall not enter into any transaction including, without
limitation, the purchase, sale or exchange of Property or the rendering of any
service with any Affiliate except in the ordinary course of, and pursuant to the
reasonable requirements of, the Borrower's
106
business and upon fair and reasonable terms no less favorable to the Borrower
than would be obtained in a comparable arm's-length transaction with a Person
not an Affiliate. The Borrower shall have no investments in any Voting Equities.
Anything contained in this Section 7.9 shall not prohibit or affect any of the
Host Company Lease Agreements.
7.10 Use of the Lender Name.
The Borrower shall not, nor shall it permit any Affiliate to, without the
prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, use the name of the
Administrative Agent or any Lender or the name of any affiliate of any Lender in
connection with any of its respective businesses or activities, except in
connection with internal business matters and as required in dealings with
governmental agencies or as may be required by law.
7.11 Subordinated Obligations.
The Borrower shall not, directly or indirectly, (a) permit any payment to
be made in respect of any indebtedness, liabilities or obligations, direct or
contingent, which are subordinated by the terms thereof or by separate
instrument to the payment of principal of, and interest and premium on, the
Notes except in accordance with the terms of such subordination, (b) permit the
amendment, rescission or other modification of any such subordination provisions
of any of the Borrower's subordinated obligations in such a manner as to affect
adversely the Administrative Agent's Lien or the prior position of the Notes, or
(c) permit the unscheduled prepayment or redemption of all or any part of any
subordinated obligations of the Borrower except in accordance with the terms of
such subordination. The Borrower shall cause each of the Parent and the Host
Companies to subordinate all of its indebtedness, liabilities or obligations,
direct or contingent, owing to it from the Borrower to the payment of the
Obligations. The Borrower shall cause each of its other Affiliates to
subordinate all indebtedness, liabilities or obligations, direct or contingent,
owing to it from the Borrower to the payment of the Obligations. The terms of
such subordination shall be satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. Such
subordination may permit payments by the Borrower in respect of such
subordinated indebtedness, liabilities or obligations if (i) no Default or Event
of Default then exists or, after giving effect to such payment, would exist and
(ii) the Borrower would not be rendered insolvent, made unable to pay its debts
as they come due or be left without adequate capital to pursue its business
after giving effect to such payment.
7.12 Notice of Legal Proceedings.
Promptly upon becoming aware of the existence thereof, the Borrower shall
deliver to the Administrative Agent written notification of the institution of
any litigation, legal proceeding or dispute with any Person, entity or
governmental authority in any way involving the Borrower, any Project, the
Collateral or any of the Borrower's other assets as to which there is a
reasonable possibility of an adverse determination and that, if adversely
determined, would materially adversely affect the Borrower, any Project, the
Collateral or any of the Borrower's other assets.
7.13 Further Assurances.
The Borrower shall from time to time execute and deliver to the
Administrative Agent such other instruments, certificates and documents and
shall take such other action and do all other
107
things as may from time to time be reasonably requested by the Administrative
Agent or the Required Lenders in order to implement or effectuate the provisions
of, or more fully perfect the rights granted or intended to be granted by the
Borrower to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders pursuant to the terms of,
this Agreement, the Notes or any other Security Document. The Borrower agrees,
in its capacity as Declarant (to the extent permitted by applicable law), to
cause each Association to take such action and to do all other things as may
from time to time be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or the
Required Lenders in order to implement or effectuate the provisions of this
Agreement and the other Security Documents.

Agreement shall occur, then the Obligations shall, automatically and
without notice or demand by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders,
become at once due and payable and
113
all Commitments shall at once terminate, and the Borrower will
forthwith pay to the Lenders, in addition to any and all sums and
charges otherwise due in respect of the Obligations, the entire
principal of and interest accrued on the Notes. If any other Event
of Default shall occur, all of the Obligations shall, at the option
of the Required Lenders, and without notice or demand by the
Administrative Agent or the Lenders, become at once due and payable
and all Commitments shall at once terminate, and the Borrower will
forthwith pay to the Lenders, in addition to any and all sums and
charges otherwise due in respect of the Obligations, the entire
principal of and interest accrued on the Notes. The Administrative
Agent on behalf of the Lenders shall have all the rights and
remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code, all
the rights and remedies under the Blanket Mortgages and the
Assignment of Rents and all other legal and equitable rights to
which it may be entitled, including, without limitation and without
further notice to Borrower, the right to collect and/or continue to
collect all payments being made or to be made on the Contracts and
to apply such payments to the Obligations and to xxx in its own name
(or the name of the Borrower) the Purchaser under any Contract. The
Administrative Agent shall also have the right to require the
Borrower to assemble the Collateral or any portion thereof, at the
Borrower's expense, and make it available to the Administrative
Agent at a place to be designated by the Administrative Agent, which
is reasonably convenient to both parties, and the Administrative
Agent shall have the right to take immediate possession of the
Collateral or such portion and may enter any of the premises of the
Borrower or wherever the Collateral or such portion shall be
located, in accordance with applicable law, and to keep and store
the same on said premises until sold (and if said premises be the
Property of the Borrower, the Borrower agrees not to charge the
Administrative Agent or the Lenders for storage thereof for a period
of at least 90 days after sale or disposition of such Collateral).
The Administrative Agent shall have the right to sell the Collateral
or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale
for cash, on credit or for future delivery, at such time or times
and at such price or prices and upon such other terms as the
Required Lenders may deem commercially reasonable. The Borrower, the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders agree that 10 days' notice to
the Borrower of any public or private sale or other disposition of
Collateral or any portion shall be reasonable notice thereof and
such sale shall be at such location(s) as the Administrative Agent
shall designate in said notice. The Administrative Agent shall have
the right to bid at any such sale on behalf of the Lenders and each
Lender shall have the right to bid at any such sale on its own
behalf and, in connection with any such bid, such Person shall be
entitled, for the purpose of making settlement or payment in respect
of any such accepted bid, to use and apply any amounts to be paid to
it under Section 8.2(c) hereof as a credit against the purchase
price payable by it in respect of such accepted bid. Each purchaser
at any such sale shall hold the Property so sold absolutely free
from any claim or right on the part of the Borrower, and the
Borrower hereby waives (to the extent permitted by applicable law)
all rights of redemption, stay and appraisal which it now has or may
at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now
existing or hereafter enacted. The Administrative Agent shall not be
obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of
sale having been given. The Administrative Agent may adjourn any
public or private
114
sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed
therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the
time and place to which it was so adjourned.
(ii) In view of the fact that federal and state securities
laws may impose certain restrictions on the methods by which a sale
of Collateral, if comprised of Securities, may be effected after an
Event of Default, the Borrower agrees that, upon the occurrence and
continuance or existence of an Event of Default, the Administrative
Agent may, from time to time, attempt to sell all or any part of
such Collateral by means of a private placement restricting the
bidding and prospective purchasers to those who will represent and
agree that they are purchasing for investment only and not for, or
with a view to, distribution. In so doing, and without limiting any
other means of private placement, the Administrative Agent may
solicit offers to buy such Collateral, or any part of it for cash,
from a limited number of investors deemed by the Administrative
Agent, in its reasonable judgment, to be responsible parties who
might be interested in purchasing the Collateral, and if the
Administrative Agent solicits such offers from not less than 4 such
investors (and otherwise acts in good faith), then the acceptance by
the Administrative Agent of the highest offer obtained therefrom
shall be deemed to be a commercially reasonable method of
disposition of such Collateral.
(iii) At any time after the Obligations have become
accelerated and due and payable at the option of the Required
Lenders pursuant to clause (i) above, the Required Lenders, by
written notice to the Borrower, may rescind and annul such
acceleration and its consequences if (1) the Borrower has paid all
overdue interest on the Notes, all principal due and payable on any
Notes other than by reason of such declaration, and all interest on
such overdue principal, if any, and all other costs and expenses
then due and payable hereunder or under any of the other Security
Documents, (2) all Events of Default and Defaults, other than
non-payment of amounts that have become due solely by reason of such
declaration, have been cured or have been waived pursuant to Section
11.5, and (3) no judgment or decree has been entered against the
Borrower for the payment of any monies due pursuant hereto or to the
Notes. No rescission and annulment under this clause (iii) will
extend to or affect any subsequent Event of Default or Default or
impair any right consequent thereon.
(b) Application of Collateral; Termination of Agreements. Upon the
occurrence of any Event of Default, the Required Lenders may, with or
without the Administrative Agent's proceeding with any aforesaid sale or
foreclosure or the Required Lenders' demanding acceleration of the payment
of the Obligations, without notice, terminate each Lender's Commitment,
without further liability or obligation by such Lender. Upon the
occurrence of any Event of Default, but otherwise subject to Section 11.8
hereof, each Lender may, at any time, appropriate and apply (as provided
below) to any Obligations owing to such Lender any and all Collateral in
its possession and any and all balances, credits, deposits, accounts,
reserves, indebtedness or other monies due or owing to the Borrower held
by such Lender hereunder or under any other financing agreement or
otherwise, whether accrued or not. Neither the termination of Commitments,
nor the termination of this Agreement by lapse of time, the giving of
notice
115
or otherwise, shall absolve, release or otherwise affect the liability of
the Borrower in respect of transactions prior to such termination, or
affect any of the Liens, security interests, rights, powers and remedies
of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders hereunder or under any other
Security Document, but they shall, in all events, continue until all of
the Obligations are satisfied.
(c) Application of Proceeds. The proceeds of any exercise of rights
with respect to Collateral or any part thereof shall be paid to and
applied as follows:
First, to the payment of
(i) all costs and charges in connection therewith, including,
without limitation, (1) attorneys' fees for advice, counsel or other
legal services, (2) costs and expenses incurred as a result of
pursuing, reclaiming, seeking to reclaim, taking, keeping, removing,
storing, advertising for sale, selling and foreclosing on the
Collateral and any and all other charges and expenses in connection
therewith, and (3) any costs and expenses (including, without
limitation, costs and expenses in the management and operation of
the Projects) provided for in the Assignment of Rents, the Blanket
Mortgages or any other Security Document,
(ii) all taxes, assessments or Liens superior to the Lien of
this Agreement or the other Security Documents, except any taxes,
assessments or other superior Liens subject to which any sale of
Collateral may have been made, and
(iii) all Loan Costs;
Second, towards the payment of all accrued and unpaid interest then
due and payable in respect of the Loan (all amounts under this clause to
be paid to each of the Lenders ratably in accordance with the amount of
interest owing to each such Lender),
Third, to the payment of the principal amount of the Loan (all
amounts under this clause to be paid to each of the Lenders ratably in
accordance with the amount of principal owing to each such Lender under
its Note),
Fourth, to the payment of any other Obligations remaining
outstanding (all amounts under this clause to be paid to each of the
Lenders ratably in accordance with the amount of such Obligations owing to
each such Lender), and
Fifth, to the payment of the surplus, if any, to the Borrower, its
successors and assigns, or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to
receive the same, provided that if any Obligations shall not have been
paid in full, any such surplus shall continue to be held as Collateral
hereunder and shall continue to be subject to the terms and conditions
hereof until such Obligations shall have been paid in full.
The Borrower shall remain liable hereunder for payment of any
deficiency owing on the Obligations after application of such proceeds.
116
(d) Remedies Cumulative; No Waivers. All covenants, conditions,
provisions, warranties, guaranties, indemnities and other undertakings of
the Borrower, the Parent and/or any Host Company contained in this
Agreement, or in any document referred to herein or contained in any
agreement supplementary hereto or in any schedule given to any one or more
of the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders or contained in any other
agreement among any one or more of the Lenders, the Borrower, the Parent,
the Host Companies and/or the Administrative Agent, heretofore,
concurrently or hereafter entered into, including, without limitation, the
Blanket Mortgages or any other Security Document, shall be deemed
cumulative to and not in derogation or substitution of any of the terms,
covenants, conditions or agreements of the Borrower herein contained. The
failure or delay of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to exercise or
enforce any rights, Liens, powers or remedies hereunder or under any of
the aforesaid agreements or other documents or security or Collateral
shall not operate as a waiver of such Liens, rights, powers and remedies,
but all such Liens, rights, powers and remedies shall continue in full
force and effect until the Loan and all other Obligations shall have been
fully satisfied. All Liens, rights, powers and remedies herein provided
for are cumulative and none are exclusive.
The acceptance by the Administrative Agent or any Lender at any time
and from time to time of partial payments of the Obligations shall not be
deemed to be a waiver of any Event of Default then existing. No waiver by
the Administrative Agent or any Lender of any Event of Default shall be
deemed to be a waiver of any other or subsequent Event of Default. No
delay or omission by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising
any right or remedy under the Security Documents shall impair such right
or remedy or be construed as a waiver thereof or an acquiescence therein,
nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or remedy
preclude other or further exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other
right or remedy under the Security Documents or otherwise.
9. REVIVAL OF OBLIGATIONS AND LIENS
Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall be under any
obligation to xxxxxxxx any assets in favor of the Borrower, the Parent, any Host
Company or any other party hereto or to any other Security Document or against
or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. The Borrower expressly agrees
that if the Borrower makes a payment to the Administrative Agent or any Lender,
which payment or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be
fraudulent or preferential, or otherwise required to be repaid to a trustee,
receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy act, state or federal law,
common law or equitable cause, then to the extent of such repayment, the
Obligations or any part thereof intended to be satisfied and the Liens provided
for hereunder securing the same shall be revived and continued in full force and
effect as if said payment had not been made.
10. ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT
10.1 Appointment.
Textron Financial Corporation is hereby appointed Administrative Agent
hereunder and under the other Security Documents and each Lender hereby
authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as its agent in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement and the other Security
117
Documents. The Administrative Agent agrees to act upon the express conditions
contained in this Agreement and the other Security Documents, as applicable. The
provisions of this Section 10 are solely for the benefit of the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders, and the Borrower agrees it shall have no rights as a
third party beneficiary of any of the provisions thereof. In performing its
functions and duties under this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall act
solely as an agent of the Lenders and does not assume and shall not be deemed to
have assumed any obligation towards or relationship of agency or trust with or
for the Borrower, the Parent, any Host Company or any Affiliate.
10.2 Powers; General Immunity.
(a) Duties Specified. Each Lender irrevocably authorizes the
Administrative Agent to take such action on such Lender's behalf and to
exercise such powers hereunder and under the other Security Documents as
are specifically delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof
and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental
thereto. The Administrative Agent shall have only those duties and
responsibilities that are expressly specified in this Agreement and the
other Security Documents and it may perform such duties by or through its
agents or employees. The Administrative Agent shall not have, by reason of
this Agreement or any of the other Security Documents, a fiduciary
relationship in respect of any Lender; and nothing in this Agreement or
any of the other Security Documents, expressed or implied, is intended to
or shall be so construed as to impose upon the Administrative Agent any
obligations in respect of this Agreement or any of the other Security
Documents except as expressly set forth herein or therein. It is expressly
understood that the Administrative Agent's role hereunder will be
primarily administrative in nature. To the extent that any provision
hereof or any other Security Document requires the Administrative Agent to
make disbursements or payments to any Lender of amounts received by the
Administrative Agent, such disbursements or payments shall be subject to
the Administrative Agent's having received good, collected, immediately
available funds prior to 12:00 p.m. on the Business Day prior to the date
on which such disbursement or payment is to be made.
(b) No Responsibility for Certain Matters. The Administrative Agent
shall not be responsible to any Lender for the execution, effectiveness,
genuineness, validity, enforceability, collectibility or sufficiency of
this Agreement or any other Security Document or for any representations,
warranties, recitals or statements made herein or therein or made in any
written or oral statements or in any financial or other statements,
instruments, reports or certificates or any other documents furnished or
made by the Administrative Agent to any one or more of the Lenders or by
or on behalf of Borrower, the Parent or any Host Company to the
Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the Security
Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby or for the financial
condition or business affairs of the Borrower, the Parent, any Host
Company or any other Person liable for the payment of any Obligations, nor
shall the Administrative Agent be required to ascertain or inquire as to
the performance or observance of any of the terms, conditions, provisions,
covenants or agreements contained in any of the Security Documents or as
to the use of the proceeds of the Loan or as to the existence or possible
existence of any Default or Event of Default.
118
(c) Exculpatory Provisions. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any
of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable to any one
or more of the Lenders for any action taken or omitted by the
Administrative Agent under or in connection with this Agreement or any of
the other Security Documents except to the extent caused by the
Administrative Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct. If the
Administrative Agent shall request instructions from the Lenders with
respect to any act or action (including the failure to take an action) in
connection with this Agreement or any of the other Security Documents, the
Administrative Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such act or taking
such action unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received
instructions from the Required Lenders or the Lenders, as may be required
hereunder. Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, (i) the
Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully
protected in relying, upon any communication, instrument or document
believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent
by the proper Person or Persons, and shall be entitled to rely and shall
be protected in relying on opinions and judgments of attorneys (who may be
attorneys for the Borrower, the Parent, any Host Company or any
Affiliate), accountants, experts and other professional advisors selected
by it; and (ii) no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever
against the Administrative Agent as a result of Administrative Agent's
acting or refraining from acting under this Agreement or any of the other
Security Documents in accordance with the instructions of the Required
Lenders or the Lender, as may be required hereunder. The Administrative
Agent shall be entitled to refrain from exercising any power, discretion
or authority vested in it under this Agreement or any of the other
Security Documents unless and until it has obtained the instructions of
the Lenders or the Required Lenders, as the case may be, and such
indemnification as it may reasonably request. The Administrative Agent
shall not be liable to any Lender with respect to its failure to take any
action under any Security Document directed by the Lenders or Required
Lenders, as may be required hereunder, if such action would, in the good
faith opinion of the Administrative Agent, be unlawful or contrary to the
terms and provisions of this Agreement or any other Security Document, or
would subject the Administrative Agent to liability under any
Environmental Protection Law. For the avoidance of doubt, unless otherwise
expressly provided for herein or in any Security Document, the
Administrative Agent may rely upon instructions given to it by the
Required Lenders.
(d) Administrative Agent Entitled to Act as Lender. The agency
hereby created shall in no way impair or affect any of the rights and
powers of, or impose any duties or obligations upon, the Administrative
Agent in its individual capacity as a Lender hereunder. With respect to
its participating in the Loan, the Administrative Agent shall have the
same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and may exercise the
same as though it were not performing the duties and functions delegated
to it hereunder, and the term "Lender" or "Lenders" or any similar term
shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include the
Administrative Agent in its individual capacity. The Administrative Agent
and its affiliates may lend money to and generally engage in any kind of
financial or other business with the Borrower, the Parent, any Host
Company or any of the Affiliates as if it were not performing the duties
specified herein, and may accept fees and other consideration from the
Borrower, the Parent, any Host Company and the Affiliates for services in
connection with this Agreement and otherwise without having to account for
the same to the Lenders.
119
(e) Advancing of Own Funds. The Administrative Agent shall not be
required to advance, expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur
personal liability in the performance of its duties or in the exercise of
any rights or remedies hereunder or under the other Security Documents.
10.3 Representations and Warranties; No Responsibility For Appraisal of
Creditworthiness.
Each Lender represents and warrants that it has made its own independent
investigation of the financial condition and affairs of the Borrower, the
Parent, each Host Company and the Projects in connection with entering into this
Agreement and the making of the Advances hereunder and that it has made and
shall continue to make its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of the
Borrower, the Parent, each Host Company and the Projects. The Administrative
Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a
continuing basis, to make any such investigation or any such appraisal on behalf
of the Lenders or to provide any Lender with any credit or other information
with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before the making of
the Advances or at any time or times thereafter, and the Administrative Agent
shall not have any responsibility with respect to the accuracy of or the
completeness of any information provided, directly or indirectly, to the Lenders
by the Borrower, the Parent, any Host Company, any Affiliate or any employee,
officer, director or agent thereof.
10.4 Right to Indemnity.
Each Lender, in proportion to its Pro Rata Share, severally agrees to
indemnify the Administrative Agent, to the extent that the Administrative Agent
shall not have been reimbursed by the Borrower, for and against any and all
liabilities, obligations, losses, claims, damages, penalties, actions,
judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including, without limitation, counsel fees
and disbursements) or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may
be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in
performing its duties hereunder or under the other Security Documents or
otherwise in its capacity as the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or
arising out of this Agreement or the other Security Documents, provided that no
Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses,
claims, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or
disbursements resulting from the Administrative Agent's gross negligence or
willful misconduct. If any indemnity furnished to the Administrative Agent for
any purpose in connection with its performance of its duties hereunder or under
any other Security Document shall, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent,
be insufficient or become impaired, the Administrative Agent may call for
additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified
against until such additional indemnity is furnished.
10.5 Successor Administrative Agent.
The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving 30 days' prior
written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower, and the Administrative
Agent may be removed at any time with or without cause by an instrument or
concurrent instruments in writing delivered to the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent and signed by the Required Lenders. Upon any such notice of
resignation or any such removal, the Required Lenders shall have the right, upon
5 Business Days' notice to the Borrower, to appoint a successor Administrative
Agent. Upon the
120
acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor
Administrative Agent, that successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon
succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties
of the retiring or removed Administrative Agent and the retiring or removed
Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under
this agreement. After any retiring or removed Administrative Agent's resignation
or removal hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 10
shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it
while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Security
Documents.
10.6 Collateral Documents.
Each Lender hereby approves the forms of the Security Documents attached
as Exhibits to this Agreement and further authorizes the Administrative Agent to
accept from the Borrower, the Parent and each Host Company and to execute and
deliver as Administrative Agent the Security Documents, as secured party on
behalf of and for the benefit of the Lenders, and agrees to be bound by the
terms of the Security Documents, in each case substantially in the form of such
Exhibits with such changes, additions or deletions as the Administrative Agent,
in its sole discretion, may approve as necessary or appropriate to accomplish
the purposes of such Security Documents. Anything contained in any of the
Security Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, each Lender agrees that no
Lender shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral
under the Security Documents, it being understood and agreed that all rights and
remedies under the Security Documents may be exercised solely by the
Administrative Agent for the benefit of Lenders in accordance with the terms
thereof.
10.7 Designation of Additional Administrative Agents.
Whenever the Administrative Agent shall deem it necessary or prudent in
order either to conform to any law of any jurisdiction in which all or any part
of the Collateral shall be situated or to make any claim or bring any suit with
respect to the Collateral or the Security Documents, or in the event that the
Administrative Agent shall have been requested to do so by the Required Lenders,
the Administrative Agent and, to the extent necessary, the Borrower, the Parent
and the Host Companies shall execute and deliver a supplemental agreement and
all other instruments and agreements necessary or proper to constitute a bank or
trust company or one or more other Persons approved by the Administrative Agent,
either to act as Administrative Agent or agents with respect to all or any part
of the Collateral, in any such case with such powers of the Administrative Agent
as may be provided in such supplemental agreement, and to vest in such bank,
trust company or other Person as such Administrative Agent or separate trustee,
as the case may be, any property, title, right, or power of the Administrative
Agent deemed necessary or advisable by the Administrative Agent.
10.8 Payments.
(a) Notification of Advance Request. When the Borrower gives the
Administrative Agent notice that it desires an Advance hereunder, the
Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each of the Lenders of the
notice for an Advance from such Lender, which notice shall specify the
amount of the Advance desired from such Lender and the amount of such
Lender's Pro Rata Share of the requested advance.
121
(b) Direct Funding Alternative. If the aforesaid notice is received
by a Lender on or before 12:00 p.m. (Lender's time), such Lender shall
wire, transfer or deliver good funds by 11:00 a.m. the next Business Day
or such other later Business Day as may have been indicated in such notice
of its Pro Rata Share of the requested advance to the Borrower. If such
notice is received after 12:00 p.m. (Lender's time), then such Lender
shall wire, transfer or deliver good funds by 11:00 a.m. the second
Business Day or such other later Business Day as may have been indicated
in such notice of its Pro Rata Share of the requested advance to the
Borrower. If a Lender desires this clause (b) to be the effective means by
which it funds advances hereunder (rather than Section 2.3(a)(ii)(A)
hereof), it shall notify the Administrative Agent, in writing, of such
election.
(c) Distributions to Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall
distribute to each Lender, such Lender's Pro Rata Share of all amounts
representing collections in reference to the Loan by 11:00 a.m. on the
next Business Day after good, collected funds in respect thereof shall
have been received or collected if such funds are received or collected
prior to 12:00 p.m. (Administrative Agent's time). If such funds shall be
received or collected after 12:00 p.m. (Administrative Agent's time),
Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute such funds to Lender by
11:00 a.m. on the second Business Day after such funds shall have been
received or collected.
(d) Delay in Disbursing. If funds required for an Advance from a
Lender or for payment by the Administrative Agent are not distributed to
the Borrower or the applicable Lender, as the case may be, within the time
set forth herein for such distribution for any reason other than an "Act
of God" or the nonoperation of the Federal Reserve Bank wire transfer
system, the party entitled to such funds shall be entitled to interest on
such funds from the Person obligated to disburse the same at the rate of
the prevailing Federal Funds rate from and including the date such funds
were received or to be disbursed, but excluding the date such funds are
received by the recipient thereof.

Agent set forth on Schedule 23 hereto or to such other address as the
Administrative Agent may from time to time specify in writing to the Borrower
and the Lenders.

agreements referred to herein, is the entire agreement between the parties
hereto relating to the subject matter hereof, incorporates or rescinds all prior
agreements and understandings between the parties hereto relating to the subject
matter hereof, and may not be changed or terminated orally or by course of
conduct. Any provision of this Agreement may be modified, changed or waived only
in a writing executed by the Required Lenders and the Borrower, provided that
(a) any such modification, change or waiver which (i) increases the
amount of any of the Commitments or reduces the principal amount of the
Loan, (ii) changes any Lender's Pro Rata Share or Loan Exposure, (iii)
changes the defined term "Required Lenders" or "Maturity Date," (iv)

Condominium Units are collected and distributed to the Lenders, (vi)
releases all, substantially all, or any material portion of the Collateral
(other than as expressly contemplated herein and in the other Security
Documents) or (vii) changes any provision of this Section 11.5, shall
become effective only after having been consented to in writing by all of
the Lenders,
(b) any such modification, change or waiver in respect of any
provision of any Note (other than a provision incorporated by reference
therein to which another clause of this Section 11.5 is applicable) shall
become effective only after having been consented to in writing by the
Lender holding such Note and
(c) any such modification, change or waiver which affects any of the
rights, duties or obligations of the Administrative Agent hereunder or
under any other Security Document (including, without limitation, any
modification or change in Section 10 hereof) shall become effective only
after being consented to, in writing, by the Administrative Agent.
The failure or delay of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to exercise or
enforce any rights, Liens, powers, remedies, conditions or other terms hereunder
or under any other agreement or instrument executed in connection herewith shall
not operate as a waiver of any such rights, Liens, powers, remedies, conditions
or other terms.
11.6 Survival.
All warranties, representations and covenants made by the Borrower herein
or in any certificate or other instrument delivered by it or on its behalf under
this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Lenders and
shall survive the delivery to the Lenders of the Notes regardless of any
investigation made by the Lenders or on its behalf. All statements in any such
certificate or other instrument shall constitute warranties and representations
by the Borrower hereunder.
11.7 Set-Off.
In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law
and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence of any
Event of Default each Lender is hereby authorized by the Borrower at any time or
from time to time, without notice to the Borrower or any other Person, any such
notice being hereby expressly waived, to set off and to appropriate and to apply
any and all deposits (general or special, including, but not limited to,
indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured,
but not including trust accounts) and any other indebtedness at any time held or
owing by such Lender to or for the creditor or the account of the Borrower
against and on account of the obligations and liabilities of the Borrower to
such Lender under this Agreement and participations therein and the other
Security Documents, including, but not limited to, all claims of any nature or
description arising out of or connected with this Agreement or any other
Security Document, irrespective of whether or not (a) such Lender shall have
made any demand hereunder or (b) the principal of or the interest on the Loan or
any other amounts due hereunder shall have become due and
125
payable pursuant to Section 8 hereof and although said obligations and
liabilities, or any of them, may be contingent or unmatured.
11.8 Ratable Sharing.
The Lenders hereby agree among themselves that if any of them shall
(whether by voluntary payment, by realization upon security, through the
exercise of any right of set-off or banker's lien, by counterclaim or cross
action or by the enforcement of any right under the Security Documents or
otherwise) receive payment or reduction of a proportion of the aggregate amount
of principal, interest, amounts payable in respect of the Loan and other amounts
then due and owing to such Lender hereunder or under the other Security
Documents (collectively, the "Aggregate Amounts Due" to such Lender) which is
greater than the proportion received by any other Lender in respect of the
Aggregate Amounts Due to such other Lender, then such Lender receiving such
proportionately greater payment shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent and
each other Lender of the receipt of such payment and (b) apply a portion of such
payment to purchase participations (which it shall be deemed to have purchased
from each seller of a participation simultaneously upon the receipt by such
seller of its portion of such payment) in the Aggregate Amounts Due to the other
Lenders so that all such recoveries in respect of all Aggregate Amounts Due
shall be shared by all Lenders in proportion to the Aggregate Amounts Due to
each of them; provided that if all or part of such proportionately greater
payment received by such purchasing Lender is thereafter recovered from such
Lender upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower or otherwise, those
purchases shall be rescinded and the purchase prices paid for such
participations shall be returned to such purchasing Lender ratably to the extent
of such recovery, but without interest. The Borrower expressly consents to the
foregoing arrangement and agrees that any holder of a participation so purchased
may exercise any and all rights of banker's lien, set-off or counterclaim with
respect to any and all monies owing by the Borrower to that holder with respect
thereto as fully as if that holder were owed the amount of the participation
held by that holder.

separate and independent debt, and each Lender shall be entitled to protect and
enforce its rights arising out of this Agreement, and it shall not be necessary
