(b) Lender shall have received an appraisal of the Substitute Property dated no more than sixty (60) days prior to the substitution by an appraiser acceptable to the Rating Agencies, indicating an appraised value of the Substitute Property that is equal to or greater than the value of the Substituted Property determined by Lender at the time of the encumbrance of the Substituted Property by the related Mortgage at or about the Closing Date.
(c) Immediately after giving effect to the substitution, the Debt Service Coverage Ratio for the Loan for all of the Individual Properties (including the Substitute Property but excluding the Substituted Property) is not less than the greater of (i) 2.68x (including the Substituted Property but excluding the Substitute Property) and (ii) the Debt Service Coverage Ratio for the Loan for all of the Individual Properties (including the Substituted Property but excluding the Substitute Property) as of the date immediately preceding the substitution, based upon the then-outstanding principal balance of the Loan, an amortization period of twenty (20) years and an interest rate equal to the then-current weighted average of the Applicable Interests Rates of the Components.
(d) Lender shall have received confirmation in writing from the Rating Agencies to the effect that such substitution will not result in a withdrawal, qualification or downgrade of the respective ratings in effect immediately prior to such substitution for the Securities issued in connection with the Securitization that are then outstanding.

-31-
(f) Borrower shall have executed, acknowledged and delivered to Lender (i) a Mortgage, an Assignment of Leases and two UCC Financing Statements for jurisdictions requested by Lender with respect to the Substitute Property, together with a letter from Borrower countersigned by a title insurance company acknowledging receipt of such Mortgage, Assignment of Leases and UCC-1 Financing Statements and agreeing to record or file, as applicable, such Mortgage, Assignment of Leases and Rents and one of the UCC-1 Financing Statements in the real estate records for the county in which the Substitute Property is located and to file one of the UCC-1 Financing Statements in the office of the Secretary of State of the state in which the Substitute Property is located, so as to effectively create upon such recording and filing valid and enforceable Liens upon the Substitute Property, of the requisite priority, in favor of Lender (or such other trustee as may be desired under local law), subject only to the Permitted Encumbrances and such other Liens as are permitted pursuant to the Loan Documents, (ii) an Environmental Indemnity with respect to the Substitute Property, and (iii) such amendments to the Loan Documents as may be required in order to evidence the substitution.

The Mortgage encumbering the Substitute Property shall secure all amounts evidenced by the Note, provided that in the event that the jurisdiction in which the Substitute Property is located imposes a mortgage recording, intangibles or similar tax and does not permit the allocation of indebtedness for the purpose of determining the amount of such tax payable, the principal amount secured by such Mortgage shall be equal to one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the amount of the Loan allocated to the Substitute Property; provided, however, that simultaneously with any such substitution Borrower shall deliver to Lender a Second Mortgage for such Substitute Property in an amount equal to twenty-five percent (25%) of the amount of the Loan allocated to the Substitute Property which Lender shall have the right to record in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.8 of this Agreement.

-32-
Title Insurance Policies insuring the Lien of the existing Mortgages and dated as of the date of the substitution, with reinsurance and direct access agreements that replace such agreements issued in connection with the Title Insurance Policy insuring the Lien of the Mortgage encumbering the Substituted Property. The Title Insurance Policy issued with respect to the Substitute Property shall (A) provide coverage in the amount of the Substitute Allocated Loan Amount if the “tie-in” or similar endorsement described above is available or, if such endorsement is not available, in an amount equal to one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the Substitute Allocated Loan Amount, (B) insure Lender that the relevant Mortgage creates a valid first lien on fee estate of the Substitute Property, free and clear of all exceptions from coverage other than Permitted Encumbrances and standard exceptions and exclusions from coverage (as modified by the terms of any endorsements), (C) contain such endorsements and affirmative coverages as are contained in the Title Insurance Policies insuring the Liens of the existing Mortgages, and (D) name Lender as the insured. Lender also shall have received copies of paid receipts or other evidence acceptable to Lender showing that all premiums in respect of such endorsements and Title Insurance Policies have been paid. In no event shall the Mortgage on a Substitute Property be secured, in whole or in part, by an interest in a ground lease in connection with any substitution prior to a Securitization. Subsequent to a Securitization, a Substitute Property affected by a ground lease shall be permitted only if such ground lease satisfies the then-current criteria of the Rating Agencies, as evidenced by written confirmation from the Rating Agencies that such ground lease will not result in the qualification, downgrade or withdrawal of the then current ratings assigned to the Securities, Lender shall have received an estoppel certificate from the ground lessor that satisfies the then-current criteria of the Rating Agencies and Lender shall have received an opinion of Borrower’s counsel stating that such ground lease satisfies all applicable ERISA requirements.

(i) Lender shall have received a current title survey for each Substitute Property, certified to the title company and Lender and their successors and assigns, in the same form and having the same content as the certification of the Survey of the Substituted Property prepared by a professional land surveyor licensed in the state in which the Substitute Property is located and acceptable to the Rating Agencies in accordance with the 1997 Minimum Standard Detail Requirements for ALTA/ACSM Land Title Surveys. Such survey shall reflect the same legal description contained in the Title Insurance Policy relating to such Substitute Property and shall include, among other things, a metes and bounds description of the real property comprising part of such Substitute Property or other type of real property description (e.g., block and lot) that is customarily used in the jurisdiction in which the Substitute Property is located. The surveyor’s seal shall be affixed to each survey and each survey shall certify that the surveyed property is not located in a “one-hundred-year flood hazard area.” (or, if it is so located, such property shall be covered by flood insurance meeting the requirements set forth in Section 5.1.1(a)(1) hereof).

If, subsequent to a Securitization, any such report discloses the presence of any Hazardous Substance or the risk of contamination from any off-site Hazardous Substance, such report shall include an estimate of the cost of any related remediation and Borrower shall deposit with Lender an amount equal to one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of such estimated cost, which deposit shall constitute additional security for the Loan and shall be released to Borrower upon the delivery to Lender of (i) an update to such report indicating that there is no longer any Hazardous Substance on the Substitute Property or any danger of contamination from any off-site Hazardous Substance that has not been fully remediated and (ii) paid receipts indicating that the costs of all such remediation work have been paid.
(l) Lender shall have received a Physical Conditions Report with respect to the Substitute Property stating that the Substitute Property and its use comply in all material respects with all applicable Legal Requirements (including, without limitation, zoning, subdivision and building laws) and that the Substitute Property is in good condition and repair and free of damage or waste.

-34-
engineer that prepared such Physical Conditions Report indicating that the recommended repairs were completed in good and workmanlike manner and (ii) paid receipts indicating that the costs of all such repairs have been paid.

(b) The Ground Lease is not subject to any liens or encumbrances superior to, or of equal priority with, the related Mortgage, other than Permitted Encumbrances and the Ground Lessor’s fee interest.
(c) The related Individual Borrower’s interest in the Ground Lease is assignable to the holder of the Mortgage upon notice to, but without the consent of, the Ground Lessor and, in the event that it is so assigned, it is further assignable by Lender and its successors and assigns upon notice to, but without a need to obtain the consent of, such lessor.
(d) The Ground Lease is in full force and effect and no material default has occurred under the Ground Lease and there is no existing condition which, but for the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would result in a default under the terms of the Ground Lease. No notice of default under the Ground Lease has been received by Borrower.
(e) The Ground Lease requires the lessor thereunder to give notice of any default by the lessee to any mortgagee and the Ground Lease further provides that notice of termination given under the Ground Lease is not effective against any mortgagee unless a copy of the notice has been delivered to such mortgagee in the manner described in the Ground Lease.
(f) Lender is permitted a reasonable opportunity (including, where necessary, sufficient time to gain possession of the interest of the lessee under the Ground Lease) to cure any default under the Ground Lease which is curable after the receipt of notice of any default, before the Ground Lessor may terminate the Ground Lease.
(g) The Ground Lease requires the Ground Lessor to enter into a new lease with Lender upon termination of the Ground Lease for any reason, including rejection of the Ground Lease in a bankruptcy proceeding.
-46-
(h) Under the terms of the Ground Lease and the Loan Documents, taken together, any related insurance and condemnation proceeds will be applied either to the repair or restoration of all or part of the Marriott Marquis, with Lender having the right to hold and disburse the proceeds as the repair or restoration progresses, or to the payment of the outstanding principal balance of the Loan together with any accrued interest thereon.
(i) The Ground Lease does not impose any material restrictions on subletting.
(j) Either the Ground Lease or an estoppel letter contains a covenant that the lessor thereunder is not permitted in the absence of an uncured default under the Ground Lease, to disturb the possession, interest or quiet enjoyment of the related Individual Borrower in the Marriott Marquis for any reason, or in any manner, which would materially adversely affect the security provided by the related Mortgage.
(k) Borrower shall either exercise the Purchase Option pursuant to terms of the Ground Lease no later than January 1, 2017 or obtain an amendment to the Ground Lease in form and substance satisfactory to Lender extending the term thereof to a date that is at least ten (10) years after the Maturity Date.

3.1.27 Full and Accurate Disclosure. To the best of Borrower’s knowledge, no information contained in this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, or any written statement furnished by or on behalf of Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained herein or therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under which they were made. There is no fact or circumstance presently known to Borrower which has not been disclosed to Lender and which materially adversely affects, or is reasonably likely to materially adversely affect, any Individual Property, any Individual Borrower or their respective business, operations or condition (financial or otherwise).

The assets of each Individual Borrower do not and, immediately following the execution and
-47-
delivery of the Loan Documents will not, constitute unreasonably small capital to carry out its business as conducted or as proposed to be conducted. Borrower does not intend to, and does not believe that it will, incur debts and liabilities (including contingent liabilities and other commitments) beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts reasonably expected to be payable on or in respect of its obligations).

To the best of Borrower’s knowledge, there has been no material adverse change in any condition, fact, circumstance or event that would make the financial statements, rent rolls, reports, certificates or other documents submitted in connection with the Loan inaccurate, incomplete or otherwise misleading in any material respect or that otherwise materially and adversely affects the business operations or the financial condition of any Individual Borrower or any Individual Property.

Borrower shall pay all Taxes and Other Charges now or hereafter levied or assessed or imposed against the Individual Properties or any part thereof as the same become due and payable; provided, however, Borrower’s obligation to directly pay Taxes shall be suspended for so long as Borrower complies with the terms and provisions of Section 6.2 hereof and is escrowing for Taxes and has not

Borrower shall furnish to Lender receipts for the payment of the Taxes and the Other Charges prior to the date the same shall become delinquent; provided, however, that Borrower is not required to furnish such receipts for payment of Taxes in the event that such Taxes are to be paid by Lender pursuant to Section 6.2 hereof. Except as hereinafter provided, Borrower shall not permit or suffer and shall promptly discharge any lien or charge against the Individual Properties arising from such failure to pay Taxes and Other Charges.

Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender may pay over any such cash or other security held by Lender to the claimant entitled thereto at any time when, in the judgment of Lender, the entitlement of such claimant is established.
4.1.3 Litigation. Borrower shall give prompt written notice to Lender of any litigation or governmental proceedings pending or, to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, threatened against Borrower or against any Individual Property which would reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect any of the Individual Properties or Borrower’s ability to perform its obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents.

Such statements shall include a calculation of the Debt Service Coverage Ratio and Base Profit. Together with the quarterly financial statements, Borrower shall furnish to Lender an Officer’s Certificate certifying as of the date thereof whether to the best of Borrower’s knowledge there exists an event or circumstance which constitutes a Default or Event of Default by Borrower under the Loan Documents and if such Default or Event of Default exists, the nature thereof, the period of time it has existed and the action then being taken to remedy the same.

Lender shall have the right to exercise Borrower’s approval rights, if any, with respect to each Annual Budget covering any period of time after the Effective Maturity Date or after the occurrence of an Event of Default.

In the event that Lender fails to respond to such request for a proposed Extraordinary Expense within five (5) Business Days of Borrower’s request, Borrower may deliver a second request for such approval and, provided that such second request contains a bold faced, conspicuous legend at the top of the first page thereof to the effect that “IF YOU FAIL TO RESPOND TO THIS REQUEST FOR APPROVAL IN WRITING WITHIN 5 BUSINESS DAYS, YOUR APPROVAL SHALL BE DEEMED GIVEN,” and Lender fails to respond to such request for approval five (5) Business Days after Lender has received from Borrower such second request and all information reasonably required by Lender in order to adequately review such request, Lender shall be deemed to have given such approval.
(e) Borrower shall furnish to Lender, within five (5) Business Days after request (or as soon thereafter as may be reasonably practicable), such further detailed information with respect to the operation of any of the Individual Properties and the financial affairs of Borrower as may be reasonably requested by Lender and as already exists in Borrower’s possession or can be prepared or obtained by Borrower without undue expense.

Borrower shall not terminate a Major Lease to which Borrower is a party without Lender’s prior approval (unless the other party thereto is in material default and the termination of such Major Lease would be commercially reasonable).
(d) Borrower (i) shall observe and perform in all material respects the obligations imposed upon the lessor under the Leases to which Borrower is a party in a commercially reasonable manner; (ii) shall enforce the material terms, covenants and conditions contained in the Leases to which Borrower is a party upon the part of the lessee thereunder to be observed or performed in a commercially reasonable manner; (iii) shall not collect any of the rents more than one (1) month in advance (other than security deposits); (iv) shall not execute any assignment of lessor’s interest in the Leases to which Borrower is a party or the Rents thereunder (except as contemplated by the Loan Documents); and (v) shall not alter, modify or change any Major Lease to which Borrower is a party so as to decrease the amount of or payment date for rent, change the expiration date, grant any option for additional space or term, materially reduce the obligations of the lessee or increase the obligations of lessor without Lender’s prior approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.

If the total unpaid contract cost or, if not pursuant to a contract, the anticipated cost, with respect to all Material Alterations to the Improvements (less amounts in any Fund allocated to such Material Alterations) that are either under contract or have commenced shall at any time exceed the Alteration Threshold, Borrower shall promptly deliver to Lender as security for the payment of such amounts and as additional security for Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Documents any of the following: (i) cash, (ii) U.S. Obligations, (iii) other securities acceptable to Lender, provided that the applicable Rating Agencies have confirmed in writing that the form and issuer of same will not, in and of itself, result in a downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the then current ratings assigned in connection with any Securitization, or (iv) a completion bond, the form and issuer of which the applicable Rating Agencies have confirmed in writing will not, in and of itself, result in a downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the then current ratings assigned in connection with any Securitization.

(e) Lender shall not be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds more frequently than once every calendar month.
(f) If at any time the Net Proceeds or the undisbursed balance thereof shall not, in the opinion of Lender in consultation with the Casualty Consultant, be sufficient to pay in full the balance of the costs which are estimated by the Casualty Consultant to be incurred in connection with the completion of the Restoration, Borrower shall deposit the deficiency (the “Net Proceeds Deficiency”) with Lender before any further disbursement of the Net Proceeds shall be made. The Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender shall be held by Lender and shall be disbursed for costs actually incurred in connection with the Restoration on the same conditions applicable to the disbursement of the Net Proceeds, and until so disbursed pursuant to this Section 5.3.2 shall constitute additional security for the Debt.
(g) The excess, if any, of the Net Proceeds and the remaining balance, if any, of the Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender after the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.3.2, and the receipt by Lender of evidence satisfactory to Lender that all costs incurred in connection with the Restoration have been paid in full, shall be remitted by Lender to Borrower, provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and shall be continuing under any of the Loan Documents.
(h) All Net Proceeds not required (i) to be made available for the Restoration or (ii) to be returned to Borrower as excess Net Proceeds pursuant to Section 5.3.2(g) may be retained and applied by Lender toward the payment of any Component of the Loan whether or not then due and payable in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall deem proper, or, at the discretion of Lender, the same may be paid, either in whole or in part, to Borrower for such purposes as Lender shall designate.
(i) Notwithstanding the foregoing requirements of this Section 5.3.2, if a Casualty or Condemnation has occurred to the Marriott Marquis, Lender shall make the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration to the extent that the Net Proceeds are required to be made available for Restoration under the Management Agreement for the Marriott Marquis.

based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in such sections or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated in such sections or necessary in order to make the statements in such sections, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and (C) agreeing to reimburse Lender, the Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Group and/or the Underwriter Group for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by Lender, the Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Group and the Underwriter Group in connection with investigating or defending the Liabilities; provided, however, that Borrower will be liable in any such case under clauses (B) or (C) above only to the extent that (i) Borrower shall have had an opportunity to review, comment on and approve the relevant section of the Disclosure Document and that any such loss claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to Lender by or on behalf of Borrower in connection with the preparation of the Disclosure Document or in connection with the underwriting or closing of the Loan, including, without limitation, financial statements of Borrower, operating statements, rent rolls, appraisals, market studies, environmental site assessment reports and property condition reports with respect to the Individual Properties and (ii) Borrower will not be liable for any omission of a material fact if information containing such material fact is provided to Lender and designated by Borrower for inclusion in a Disclosure Document, but is not actually included in such Disclosure Document. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which Borrower may otherwise have.
(c) In connection with Exchange Act Filings, Borrower shall (i) indemnify Lender, the Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Group and the Underwriter Group for Liabilities to which Lender, the Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Group or the Underwriter Group may become subject insofar as the Liabilities arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state in the Disclosure Document a material fact required to be stated in the Disclosure Document in order to make the statements in the Disclosure Document, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and (ii) reimburse Lender, the Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Group or the Underwriter Group for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by Lender, the Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Group or the Underwriter Group in connection with defending or investigating the Liabilities; provided, however, that Borrower will not be liable for any omission of a material fact if information containing such material fact is provided to Lender and designated by Borrower for inclusion in a Disclosure Document, but is not actually included in such Disclosure Document.
(d) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under the agreement referred to in Section 9.2(b) above of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under the agreement referred to in Section 9.2(b) above, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof, but the omission to so notify the indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability which the indemnifying party may have to any indemnified party hereunder except to the extent that failure to notify causes prejudice to the indemnifying party. In the event that any action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled, jointly with any other indemnifying party, to participate therein and, to the extent that it (or they) may elect by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel
-79-
satisfactory to such indemnified party. After notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party under the agreement referred to in Section 9.2(b) above, such indemnified party shall pay for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there are any legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to assert such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party at the cost of the indemnifying party. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel unless an indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those available to another indemnified party.
(e) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnity agreement provided for in Section 9.2(b) or (c) is for any reason held to be unenforceable as to an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or action in respect thereof) referred to therein which would otherwise be indemnifiable under Section 9.2(b) or (c), the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or action in respect thereof); provided, however, that no Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. In determining the amount of contribution to which the respective parties are entitled, the following factors shall be considered: (i) Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx’x and Borrower’s relative knowledge and access to information concerning the matter with respect to which the claim was asserted; (ii) the opportunity to correct and prevent any statement or omission; and (iii) any other equitable considerations appropriate in the circumstances. Lender and Borrower hereby agree that it would not be equitable if the amount of such contribution were determined by pro rata or per capita allocation.
(f) The liabilities and obligations of both Borrower and Lender under this Section 9.2 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the satisfaction and discharge of the Debt.
Section 9.3 Rating Surveillance.
Borrower will retain the Rating Agencies to provide rating surveillance services on any certificates issued in a Securitization. Such rating surveillance will be at the expense of Borrower (such expense, the “Rating Surveillance Charge”).

Section 10.2 Remedies.
(a) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, all or any one or more of the rights, powers, privileges and other remedies available to Lender against Borrower under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents executed and delivered by, or applicable to, Borrower or at law or in equity may be exercised by Lender at any time and from time to time, whether or not all or any of the Debt shall be declared due and payable, and whether or not Lender shall have commenced any foreclosure proceeding or other action for the enforcement of its rights and remedies under any of the Loan Documents with respect to all or any of the Individual Properties. Any such actions taken by Lender shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singly, successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in its sole discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender permitted by law, equity or contract or as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower (to the extent permitted by applicable law) agrees that if an Event of Default is continuing (i) Lender is not subject to any “one action” or “election of remedies” law or rule, and (ii) all liens and other rights, remedies or privileges provided to Lender shall remain in full force and effect until Lender has exhausted all of its remedies against the Individual Properties and each Mortgage has been foreclosed, sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Debt or the Debt has been paid in full.
(b) With respect to Borrower and the Individual Properties, nothing contained herein or in any other Loan Document shall be construed as requiring Lender to resort to any Individual Property for the satisfaction of any of the Debt in preference or priority to any other Individual Property, and Lender may seek satisfaction out of all of the Individual Properties or any part thereof, in its absolute discretion in respect of the Debt. In addition, Lender shall have the right from time to time to partially foreclose the Mortgages in any manner and for any amounts secured by the Mortgages then due and payable as determined by Lender in its sole discretion including, without limitation, the following circumstances: (i) in the event Borrower defaults beyond any applicable grace period in the payment of one or more scheduled payments of principal and interest, Lender may foreclose one or more of the Mortgages to recover such delinquent payments, or (ii) in the event Lender elects to accelerate less than the entire outstanding principal balance of the Loan, Lender may foreclose one or more of the Mortgages to recover so much of the principal balance of the Loan as Lender may accelerate and such other sums secured by one or more of the Mortgages as Lender may elect. Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, the Individual Properties shall remain subject to the Mortgages to secure payment of sums secured by the Mortgages and not previously recovered.
(c) Lender shall have the right from time to time to sever the Note and the other Loan Documents into one or more separate notes, mortgages and other security documents (the “Severed Loan Documents”) in such denominations as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion for purposes of evidencing and enforcing its rights and remedies provided hereunder. Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender from time to time, promptly after the request of Lender, a severance agreement and such other documents as Lender shall request in order to effect the severance described in the preceding sentence, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender and Borrower. Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints Lender as its true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in its name and stead to make
-83-
and execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect the aforesaid severance, Borrower ratifying all that its said attorney shall do by virtue thereof; provided, however, Lender shall not make or execute any such documents under such power until three (3) Business Days after notice has been given to Borrower by Lender of Lender’s intent to exercise its rights under such power. Except as may be required in connection with a securitization pursuant to Section 9.1 hereof, (i) Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any costs or expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, execution, recording or filing of the Severed Loan Documents, and (ii) the Severed Loan Documents shall not contain any representations, warranties or covenants not contained in the Loan Documents and any such representations and warranties contained in the Severed Loan Documents will be given by Borrower only as of the Closing Date.
(d) Any amounts recovered from any Individual Property or any other collateral for the Loan after an Event of Default may be applied by Lender toward the payment of any interest and/or principal of the Components and/or any other amounts due under the Loan Documents in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall determine.
Section 10.3 Remedies Cumulative.
The rights, powers and remedies of Lender under this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which Lender may have against Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or existing at law or in equity or otherwise. Lender’s rights, powers and remedies may be pursued singly, concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in Lender’s sole discretion. No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of Default shall impair any such remedy, right or power or shall be construed as a waiver thereof, but any such remedy, right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. A waiver of one Default or Event of Default with respect to Borrower shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default by Borrower or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon.
XI. MISCELLANEOUS

All covenants, promises and agreements in this Agreement, by or on behalf of Borrower, shall inure to the benefit of the legal representatives, successors and assigns of Lender.

-84-
given any right to approve or disapprove, (b) confirmation is required from the Rating Agencies that an action will not result in the downgrade, qualification or withdrawal of the ratings in a Securitization or (c) any arrangement or term is to be satisfactory to the Rating Agencies, the approval of Lender shall be substituted therefore prior to a Securitization and may be based upon, among other things, Lender’s determination of Rating Agency criteria.

Section 11.7 Trial by Jury.
BORROWER HEREBY AGREES NOT TO ELECT A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY ISSUE TRIABLE OF RIGHT BY JURY, AND WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY FULLY TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY SUCH RIGHT SHALL NOW OR HEREAFTER EXIST WITH REGARD TO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR ANY CLAIM, COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER ACTION ARISING IN CONNECTION THEREWITH. THIS WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IS GIVEN KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY BY BORROWER, AND IS INTENDED TO ENCOMPASS INDIVIDUALLY EACH INSTANCE AND EACH ISSUE AS TO WHICH THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY WOULD OTHERWISE ACCRUE. LENDER IS HEREBY AUTHORIZED TO FILE A COPY OF THIS PARAGRAPH IN ANY PROCEEDING AS CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OF THIS WAIVER BY BORROWER.
Section 11.8 Headings.
The Article and/or Section headings and the Table of Contents in this Agreement are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purpose.
Section 11.9 Severability.
Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.
Section 11.10 Preferences.
Lender shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply or reverse and reapply any and all payments by Borrower to any portion of the obligations of Borrower hereunder. To the extent Borrower makes a payment or payments to Lender, which payment or proceeds or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or proceeds received which are subsequently recovered from Lender, the obligations hereunder or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continue in full force and effect, as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by Lender.
Section 11.11 Waiver of Notice.
Borrower shall not be entitled to any notices of any nature whatsoever from Lender except with respect to matters for which this Agreement or the other Loan Documents specifically and expressly provide for the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower and except with respect to other matters for which Borrower is not, pursuant to applicable Legal Requirements, permitted to waive the giving of notice. Borrower hereby expressly waives the right to receive any notice from Lender with respect to any matter for which this Agreement or the other Loan Documents do not specifically and expressly provide for the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower.
-88-
Section 11.12 Remedies of Borrower.
In the event that a claim or adjudication is made that Lender or its agents have acted unreasonably or unreasonably delayed acting in any case where, by law or under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Lender or such agent, as the case may be, has an obligation to act reasonably or promptly, Borrower agrees that neither Lender nor its agents shall be liable for any monetary damages, and Borrower’s sole remedy shall be limited to commencing an action seeking injunctive relief or declaratory judgment. The parties hereto agree that any action or proceeding to determine whether Lender has acted reasonably shall be determined by an action seeking declaratory judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a final non-appealable judicial determination that Lender or its agents have acted maliciously, have intentionally failed to act in good faith or have acted in bad faith, Borrower shall be entitled to compensatory damages arising therefrom.
Section 11.13 Expenses; Indemnity.
(a) Borrower covenants and agrees to pay or, if Borrower fails to pay, to reimburse Lender upon receipt of written notice from Lender, for all reasonable out of pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by Lender in connection with (i) processing, underwriting, closing, marketing and securitizing the Loan including, but not limited to, fees and disbursements of Lender’s counsel, costs of third party studies (including, without limitation, accounting, environmental, engineering, appraisal and insurance review), title insurance, mortgage tax and recordation and Rating Agency, master and special servicer and Trustee expenses; (ii) confirming Borrower’s ongoing performance of and compliance with Borrower’s agreements and covenants contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on its part to be performed or complied with after the Closing Date, including, without limitation, confirming compliance with environmental and insurance requirements; (iii) Lender’s ongoing performance of and compliance with all agreements and covenants contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on its part to be performed or complied with after the Closing Date; (iv) the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and administration of any consents, amendments, waivers or other modifications to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other documents or matters requested by Borrower; (v) the filing and recording fees and expenses, title insurance and reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for providing to Lender all required legal opinions, and other similar expenses incurred in creating and perfecting the Liens in favor of Lender pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; (vi) enforcing or preserving any rights, in response to third party claims or the prosecuting or defending of any action or proceeding or other litigation against a third party, in each case against, under or affecting Borrower, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Individual Properties, or any other security given for the Loan; and (vii) enforcing any obligations of or collecting any payments due from Borrower under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or with respect to the Individual Properties or in connection with any refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided under this Agreement in the nature of a “work-out” or of any insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be liable for the payment of any such costs and
-89-
expenses to the extent the same arise by reason of the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful or reckless misconduct of Lender. Any costs due and payable to Lender may be paid from the Cash Management Account.
(b) Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Lender from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for Lender in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding commenced or threatened, whether or not Lender shall be designated a party thereto), that may be imposed on or incurred by Lender in any manner relating to or arising out of (i) any breach by Borrower of its obligations under, or any material misrepresentation by Borrower contained in, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or (ii) the use or intended use of the proceeds of the Loan (collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided, however, that Borrower shall not have any obligation to Lender hereunder to the extent that such Indemnified Liabilities arise from the gross negligence, bad faith, illegal acts, fraud or willful or reckless misconduct of Lender. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, defend and hold harmless set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it violates any law or public policy, Borrower shall pay the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by Lender.
Section 11.14 Schedules Incorporated.
The Schedules annexed hereto are hereby incorporated herein as a part of this Agreement with the same effect as if set forth in the body hereof.
Section 11.15 Offsets, Counterclaims and Defenses.
Any assignee of Lender’s interest in and to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall take the same free and clear of all offsets, counterclaims or defenses which are unrelated to such documents which Borrower may otherwise have against any assignor of such documents, and no such unrelated counterclaim or defense shall be interposed or asserted by Borrower in any action or proceeding brought by any such assignee upon such documents and any such right to interpose or assert any such unrelated offset, counterclaim or defense in any such action or proceeding is hereby expressly waived by Borrower.
Section 11.16 No Joint Venture or Partnership; No Third Party Beneficiaries.
(a) Borrower and Lender intend that the relationships created hereunder and under the other Loan Documents be solely that of borrower and lender. Nothing herein or therein is intended to create a joint venture, partnership, tenancy-in-common, or joint tenancy relationship between Borrower and Lender nor to grant Lender any interest in the Individual Properties other than that of mortgagee, beneficiary or lender.
(b) This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are solely for the benefit of Lender and nothing contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to confer upon anyone other than Lender any right to insist upon or to enforce the performance
-90-
or observance of any of the obligations contained herein or therein. All conditions to the obligations of Lender to make the Loan hereunder are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of Lender and no other Person shall have standing to require satisfaction of such conditions in accordance with their terms or be entitled to assume that Lender will refuse to make the Loan in the absence of strict compliance with any or all thereof and no other Person shall under any circumstances be deemed to be a beneficiary of such conditions, any or all of which may be freely waived in whole or in part by Lender if, in Lender’s sole discretion, Lender deems it advisable or desirable to do so.
Section 11.17 Publicity.
All news releases, publicity or advertising by Borrower or its Affiliates through any media (excluding any earnings releases, periodic financial reports and registration statements) intended to reach the general public which refers to the Loan Documents or the financing evidenced by the Loan Documents, to Lender, Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Mortgage Capital Inc. or any of their Affiliates shall be subject to the prior approval of Lender. Lender shall not make any press release (other than a tombstone) without the prior approval of Borrower, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld.
Section 11.18 Cross-Default; Cross-Collateralization; Waiver of Marshalling of Assets.
(a) Borrower acknowledges that Lender has made the Loan to Borrower upon the security of its collective interest in the Individual Properties and in reliance upon the aggregate of the Individual Properties taken together being of greater value as collateral security than the sum of the Individual Properties taken separately. Borrower agrees that the Mortgages are and will be cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with each other so that (i) an Event of Default under any of the Mortgages shall constitute an Event of Default under each of the other Mortgages which secure the Note; (ii) an Event of Default under the Note or this Agreement shall constitute an Event of Default under each Mortgage; and (iii) each Mortgage shall constitute security for the Note as if a single blanket lien were placed on all of the Individual Properties as security for the Note.
(b) To the fullest extent permitted by law, Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives all rights to a marshalling of the assets of Borrower, Borrower’s partners and others with interests in Borrower, and of the Individual Properties, or to a sale in inverse order of alienation in the event of foreclosure of all or any of the Mortgages, and agrees not to assert any right under any laws pertaining to the marshalling of assets, the sale in inverse order of alienation, homestead exemption, the administration of estates of decedents, or any other matters whatsoever to defeat, reduce or affect the right of Lender under the Loan Documents to a sale of the Individual Properties for the collection of the Debt without any prior or different resort for collection or of the right of Lender to the payment of the Debt out of the net proceeds of the Individual Properties in preference to every other claimant whatsoever. In addition, Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, to the extent permitted by applicable law, waives in the event of foreclosure of any or all of the Mortgages, any equitable right otherwise available to Borrower which would require the separate sale of the Individual Properties or require Lender to exhaust its remedies against any Individual Property or any combination of the
-91-
Individual Properties before proceeding against any other Individual Property or combination of Individual Properties; and further in the event of such foreclosure Borrower does hereby expressly consent to and authorize, at the option of Lender, the foreclosure and sale either separately or together of any combination of the Individual Properties.
Section 11.19 Waiver of Counterclaim.
Borrower hereby waives the right to assert a counterclaim, other than a compulsory counterclaim, in any action or proceeding brought against it by Lender or its agents.
Section 11.20 Conflict; Construction of Documents; Reliance.
In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Agreement shall control. The parties hereto acknowledge that they were represented by competent counsel in connection with the negotiation, drafting and execution of the Loan Documents and that such Loan Documents shall not be subject to the principle of construing their meaning against the party which drafted same. Borrower acknowledges that, with respect to the Loan, Borrower shall rely solely on its own judgment and advisors in entering into the Loan without relying in any manner on any statements, representations or recommendations of Lender or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender. Lender shall not be subject to any limitation whatsoever in the exercise of any rights or remedies available to it under any of the Loan Documents or any other agreements or instruments which govern the Loan by virtue of the ownership by it or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender of any equity interest any of them may acquire in Borrower, and Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to raise any defense or take any action on the basis of the foregoing with respect to Lender’s exercise of any such rights or remedies. Borrower acknowledges that Lender engages in the business of real estate financings and other real estate transactions and investments which may be viewed as adverse to or competitive with the business of Borrower or its Affiliates.
Section 11.21 Brokers and Financial Advisors.
Borrower hereby represents that it has dealt with no financial advisors, brokers, underwriters, placement agents, agents or finders in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, costs and expenses of any kind (including Lender’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) in any way relating to or arising from a claim by any Person that such Person acted on behalf of Borrower in connection with the transactions contemplated herein. The provisions of this Section 11.21 shall survive the expiration and termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Debt.
Section 11.22 Prior Agreements.
This Agreement and the other Loan Documents contain the entire agreement of the parties hereto and thereto in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and all prior agreements among or between such parties, whether oral or written, including, without limitation, the Commitment Letter dated May 21, 1999 between Borrower and Lender, as amended, are superseded by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
-92-
Section 11.23 Servicer.
At the option of Lender, the Loan may be serviced by not more than two servicers (each, a “Servicer”) selected by Lender and Lender may delegate all or any portion of its responsibilities under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to such Servicers pursuant to servicing agreements (each, a “Servicing Agreement”) between Lender and such Servicer. Borrower shall be responsible for any set-up fees or any other initial costs relating to or arising under any Servicing Agreement and Lender shall be responsible for the monthly servicing fee due to a Servicer under the related Servicing Agreement. Borrower shall be responsible for the costs of any special servicer under the Loan. Lender will consult with Borrower prior to selecting a Servicer, provided, however, that Borrower shall have no right to approve such Servicer. From and after the effective date of any Securitization, (a) the Servicer shall have all the rights of Lender herein with respect to the servicing of the Loan and (b) Borrower shall indemnify the Servicer upon the same terms that it is required to indemnify Lender herein.
Section 11.24 Exculpation.
Subject to the qualifications below, Lender shall not enforce the liability and obligation of Borrower to perform and observe the obligations contained in the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgages or the other Loan Documents by any action or proceeding against any member, shareholder, partner or other owner of Borrower, or any director, officer, employee of any of the foregoing. The provisions of this Section shall not, however, (a) constitute a waiver, release or impairment of any obligation evidenced or secured by any of the Loan Documents; or (b) affect the validity or enforceability of the Guaranty.
