Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall Borrower have the right to elect to convert a Floating Interest Rate Loan to a Prime Rate Loan.
(d) Intentionally Omitted.
(e) If the adoption of any requirement of law or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof, shall hereafter make it unlawful for Lender to make or maintain a Floating Interest Rate Loan as contemplated hereunder, (i) the obligation of Lender hereunder to make a Floating Interest Rate Loan or to convert a Prime Rate Loan to a Floating Interest Rate Loan shall be canceled forthwith and (ii) any outstanding Floating Interest Rate Loan shall be converted automatically to a Prime Rate Loan on the first day of the next succeeding Interest Period or within such earlier period as required by law. Borrower hereby agrees promptly to pay Lender, upon demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate Lender for any costs incurred by Lender in making any conversion in accordance with this Agreement, including, without limitation, any interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to make or maintain the Floating Interest Rate Loan hereunder.

(i) shall hereafter impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of Lender which is not otherwise included in the determination of LIBOR hereunder;
-46-
(ii) shall hereafter have the effect of reducing the rate of return on Lender’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which Lender could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration Lender’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by any amount deemed by Lender to be material;

(iv) shall hereafter impose on Lender any other condition (other than Section 2.7 Taxes) and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Lender of making, renewing or maintaining loans or extensions of credit or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder;
then, in any such case, Borrower shall promptly pay Lender, upon demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate Lender for such additional cost or reduced amount receivable which Lender deems to be material as determined by Lender in its reasonable discretion. If Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.2.3(f), Lender shall provide Borrower with not less than thirty (30) days written notice specifying in reasonable detail the event by reason of which it has become so entitled and the additional amount required to fully compensate Lender for such additional cost or reduced amount. A certificate as to any additional costs or amounts payable pursuant to the foregoing sentence submitted by Lender to Borrower shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. Subject to Section 2.2.3(b) hereof, this provision shall survive payment of the Note and the satisfaction of all other obligations of Borrower under this Agreement and the Loan Documents.
(g) Lender shall not be entitled to claim compensation pursuant to this Section 2.2.3 for any increased cost or reduction in amounts received or receivable hereunder, or any reduced rate of return, which was incurred or which accrued more than the earlier of (i) ninety (90) days before the date Lender notified Borrower of the change in law or other circumstance on which such claim for compensation is based and delivered to Borrower a written statement setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for the calculation of the additional amounts owed to Lender under this Section 2.2.3, which statement shall be conclusive and binding on all parties absent manifest error, or (ii) any earlier date provided Lender notified Borrower of such change in law or circumstance and delivered the written statement referenced in clause (i) within ninety (90) days after Lender received written notice of such change in law or circumstance.

-47-
funds obtained by it in order to maintain a Floating Interest Rate Loan hereunder, (ii) any prepayment (whether voluntary or mandatory) of the Floating Interest Rate Loan on a day that (A) is not a Payment Date or (B) is a Payment Date if Borrower did not give the prior written notice of such prepayment required pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, such loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain the Floating Interest Rate Loan hereunder and (iii) the conversion pursuant to the terms hereof of the Floating Interest Rate Loan to the Prime Rate Loan on a date other than the Payment Date, including, without limitation, such loss or expenses arising from interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain a Floating Interest Rate Loan hereunder (the amounts referred to in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) are herein referred to collectively as the “Breakage Costs”); provided, however, Borrower shall not indemnify Lender from any loss or expense arising from Lender’s willful misconduct or gross negligence.

2.2.5 Default Rate. In the event that, and for so long as, any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the outstanding principal balance of the Loan and, to the extent permitted by law, all accrued and unpaid interest in respect of the Loan and any other amounts due pursuant to the Loan Documents, shall accrue interest at the Default Rate, calculated from the date such payment was due without regard to any grace or cure periods contained herein.
2.2.6 Usury Savings. This Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents are subject to the express condition that at no time shall Borrower be obligated or required to pay interest on the principal balance of the Loan at a rate which could subject Lender to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate. If, by the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the principal balance due hereunder at a rate in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate, the Interest Rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to the Maximum Legal Rate and all previous payments in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of principal and not on account of the interest due hereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the sums due under the Loan, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of the Loan until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Loan does not exceed the Maximum Legal Rate of interest from time to time in effect and applicable to the Loan for so long as the Loan is outstanding.

Section 2.5 Release of Property. Except as set forth in this Section 2.5, no repayment or prepayment of all or any portion of the Loan shall cause, give rise to a right to require, or otherwise result in, the release of the Lien of the Mortgage.
2.5.1 Release of Property Upon Payment in Full. (a) If Borrower has elected to prepay the entire Loan and the requirements of Section 2.4 and this Section 2.5 have been satisfied or the Loan is repaid in full on the Maturity Date, all of the Property shall be released from the Lien of the Mortgage.

In addition, Borrower shall provide all other documentation Lender reasonably requires to be delivered by Borrower in connection with such release, together with an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such documentation (i) is in compliance with all Legal Requirements, and (ii) will effect such releases in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

2.5.2 Release of South Beach Development Parcel.
(a) Lender agrees that, upon the request of Borrower, Borrower may obtain the release of the South Beach Development Parcel from the Lien of the Mortgage, and the release of Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Documents with respect to such South Beach Development Parcel (other than those expressly stated in the Loan Documents to survive) upon the satisfaction of all of the following conditions:
(i) Borrower shall deliver notice to Lender of the proposed release of the South Beach Development Parcel not less than ten (10) Business Days prior to the proposed date of release which notice may be revoked by Borrower at any time; provided, that Borrower shall be responsible for any actual, out-of-pocket costs incurred by Lender in connection with a revoked notice.

(v) All Legal Requirements applicable to the South Beach Development Parcel necessary to accomplish the lot split shall have been fulfilled, and all necessary variances, if any, shall have been obtained, and Borrower shall have delivered to Lender either (i) letters or other evidence from the appropriate municipal authorities confirming such compliance with laws, or (ii) a zoning report confirming such compliance with laws, in each case in substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender.
(vi) The remaining Property (after giving effect to the release of the South Beach Development Parcel) will comply with the Approved Master Plan and the Development Agreement and will not be in violation in any material respect with the terms of the any Lease or any other Permitted Encumbrances related to the Property.

-54-
(viii) If reasonably necessary for the use and operation of the remaining Property, Borrower shall have entered into cross-easements and mutual or non-exclusive easements for ingress, egress, access, pedestrian walkways, parking, traffic flow, utilities, services and community facilities shared by the South Beach Development Parcel and the remaining Property and other similar agreements which may be required by Legal Requirements or for the operation of the Property, or which may be required under any Lease and in each case shall be in a form and substance that would be reasonably acceptable to a prudent lender; provided that, such easements shall not materially and adversely affect the remaining Property.
(ix) If reasonably required by Lender, Borrower shall have delivered to Lender an endorsement with regard to the Title Insurance Policy that (i) extends the date of the Title Insurance Policy to the effective date of the release, (ii) insures the priority of the Mortgage is not affected, and (iii) insures the rights and benefits of any new or amended easement agreement affecting the Property.
(x) Without limiting the requirements of clause (vii) above, Lender shall have obtained an opinion of counsel selected by Borrower and reasonably approved by Lender that the release of the South Beach Development Parcel does not cause a Securitization to fail to qualify as a REMIC Trust, if such Securitization is a REMIC Trust, or a Grantor Trust, if such Securitization is a Grantor Trust.

(xii) Borrower shall have executed and delivered such other documents and instruments that are reasonably requested by Lender and typical for similar transactions.
(xiii) Lender shall have received payment of all Lender’s reasonable, out-of-pocket costs and expenses, reasonable counsel fees and disbursements incurred in connection with the release of the South Beach Development Parcel from the Lien of the Mortgage and the review and approval of the documents and information required to be delivered in connection therewith.

(xiv) Borrower shall have delivered an Officer’s Certificate to the effect that, to such officer’s knowledge upon commercially reasonable inquiry, the conditions in subsection (i) to (xiii) hereof have occurred or shall occur concurrently with the transfer and release of the South Beach Development Parcel.
-55-
(xv) If any Mezzanine Loan is still outstanding, the applicable Mezzanine Borrower shall have complied with all of the terms and conditions set forth in the Mezzanine Loan Documents with respect to the release of the South Beach Development Parcel and such release of the South Beach Development Parcel shall not constitute or cause a Mezzanine Loan Default.
(b) The South Beach Development Parcel Beach Outparcel may only be used for construction of the Approved South Beach Development. Upon completion of the Approved South Beach Development Parcel, any such development on the South Beach Development Parcel shall (i) if developed as condo-hotel units, be governed by a Rental Management Program with documents substantively similar to the Rental Management Agreement governing the North Beach Property, or otherwise reasonably approved by Lender pursuant to which all revenue from the rental of such units, which under the terms of the Rental Management Program is not paid to the owners of such units shall be deposited into the Manager Accounts or Lockbox Account and applied in the same manner as Rents and (ii) require that all revenue derived from the South Beach Development Parcel to which Borrower or Operating Lessee is entitled shall be deposited into the Manager Accounts or Lockbox Account in the same manner as Rents. Borrower shall only convey the South Beach Development Parcel to an Affiliate of Borrower so as to cause the South Beach Development Parcel and the remaining Property to function as an integrated hotel facility in substantially the same manner as the North Beach Property and the Property currently function. Upon commencement of construction of the Approved South Beach Development, Borrower shall cause any Affiliates to which the South Beach Development Parcel is conveyed to construct the Approved South Beach Development with due diligence and to complete all construction activities as soon as reasonably practicable and in compliance with all Legal Requirements.
(c) Future Cooperation.
(i) Lender agrees it will reasonably cooperate with Borrower to reconfigure the boundaries of the South Beach Development Parcel to the extent that such Additional South Beach Documents are required (x) to comply with the Approved Master Plan or the Development Agreement, and/or (y) by the California Coastal Commission and/or the City of Coronado and/or any other Governmental Agency; provided that such reconfigured South Beach Development Parcel is the subject of the requirements described in Section 2.5.2(a) and (b) hereof and provided further that such amendments do not, in Lender’s reasonable discretion, impair (except to a de minimus extent) the value of the Property below its appraised value prior to entering into such amendments. Without limiting the requirements of Section 2.5.2(a) above, in connection with any reconfiguration of the boundaries of the South Beach Development Parcel, Lender shall have obtained an opinion of counsel selected by Borrower and reasonably approved by Lender that the such reconfiguration of the South Beach Development Parcel does not cause a Securitization to fail to qualify as a REMIC Trust, if such Securitization is a REMIC Trust, or a Grantor Trust, if such Securitization is a Grantor Trust.
-56-
(ii) Lender agrees to reasonably cooperate with Borrower to approve, in its reasonable discretion, any easements and/or declarations of covenants, conditions and restrictions to be recorded against any portion of the Property in connection with the Approved South Beach Development (the “Additional South Beach Documents”), in each case to the extent that such Additional South Beach Documents are required (x) to comply with the Approved Master Plan or the Development Agreement, and/or (y) by the California Coastal Commission and/or the City of Coronado, and provided, that such Additional South Beach Documents do not have a materially adverse effect on the ability of Borrower to pay any of its obligations under the Loan or the fair market value of the Property. If requested by Borrower, Lender further agrees to subordinate the lien of the Mortgage to the Additional South Beach Documents, provided, that such subordination shall be subject to receipt of Lender’s approval, in its reasonable discretion of the Additional South Beach Documents and evidence satisfactory to Lender that such subordination is required by the terms of the Approved Master Plan or by the California Coastal Commission and/or the City of Coronado.

(b) Borrower shall (i) cause all Rents from the Property received directly by Borrower and Operating Lessee and not otherwise required to be deposited into the Manager Accounts pursuant to the Management Agreement to be deposited directly into the Lockbox Account and (ii) cause each of the credit card companies or credit card clearing banks with which Borrower or Manager has entered into merchant’s agreements with to deliver all receipts payable with respect to the Property directly to the Manager Accounts. To the extent not deposited into the Manager Accounts pursuant to the Management Agreement, Borrower shall, and shall cause Operating Lessee to, deposit all amounts received directly by Borrower or Operating Lessee constituting Rents into the Lockbox Account within one (1) Business Day after receipt thereof. Borrower shall cause Manager, Rental Agent and Operating Lessee to deposit all
-57-
amounts payable to Borrower, Operating Lessee or Manager pursuant to the Rental Management Agreement, the Unit Maintenance and Operation Agreement or any Rental Management Program directly into the Manager Accounts.

(c) Borrower shall obtain from Lockbox Bank its agreement to transfer to the Cash Management Account (other than reasonable fees of the Lockbox Bank as described in the Lockbox Agreement) in immediately available funds by federal wire transfer all amounts on deposit in the Lockbox Account not less than two (2) times per week throughout the term of the Loan.

(e) The Lockbox Account shall be an Eligible Account and shall not be commingled with other monies held by Borrower, Manager or Lockbox Bank.
(f) Borrower shall not further pledge, assign or grant any security interest in the Lockbox Account or the monies deposited therein or permit any lien or encumbrance to attach thereto, or any levy to be made thereon, or any UCC-1 Financing Statements, except those naming Lender as the secured party, to be filed with respect thereto.
(g) Borrower shall indemnify Lender and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all actions, suits, claims, demands, liabilities, losses, damages, obligations and costs and expenses (including litigation costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) arising from or in any way connected with the Lockbox Account and/or the Lockbox Agreement (unless arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lender) or the performance of the obligations for which the Lockbox Account was established.
2.6.2 Cash Management Account. (a) Borrower shall establish and maintain a segregated Eligible Account (the “Cash Management Account”) to be held by Agent in trust and for the benefit of Lender, which Cash Management Account shall be under the sole dominion and control of Lender. The Cash Management Account shall be entitled “BSK del Partners, LLC, as Borrower and JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association and German American Capital Corporation, collectively, as Lender, pursuant to Loan Agreement dated as of March 8, 2013—Cash Management Account.” Borrower hereby grants to Lender a first priority security interest in the Cash Management Account and all deposits at any time contained therein and the proceeds thereof and will take all actions necessary to maintain in favor of Lender a perfected first priority security interest in the Cash Management Account, including, without limitation, filing UCC-1 Financing Statements and continuations thereof. Borrower will not in any way alter or modify the Cash Management Account and will notify Lender of the account number thereof. Lender and Servicer shall have the sole right to make withdrawals from the Cash Management Account and all costs and expenses for establishing and maintaining the Cash Management Account shall be paid by Borrower.
-58-
(b) The insufficiency of funds on deposit in the Cash Management Account shall not relieve Borrower from the obligation to make any payments, as and when due pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and such obligations shall be separate and independent, and not conditioned on any event or circumstance whatsoever.
(c) All funds on deposit in the Cash Management Account following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default may be applied by Lender pursuant to the terms of any Loan Document in such order and priority as Lender shall determine.
(d) Borrower hereby agrees that Lender may modify the Cash Management Agreement for the purpose of establishing additional sub-accounts in connection with any payments otherwise required under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and Lender shall provide prior written notice thereof to Borrower no less than five (5) Business Days prior to such modification.
2.6.3 Payments Received under the Cash Management Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, and provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower’s obligations with respect to the payment of the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount and amounts required to be deposited into the Reserve Funds, if any, shall be deemed satisfied to the extent sufficient amounts are deposited in the Manager Accounts or the Cash Management Account to satisfy such obligations pursuant to this Agreement and the Cash Management Agreement on the dates each such payment is required, regardless of whether any of such amounts are so applied by Lender.
2.6.4 Distributions to Mezzanine Borrowers. All transfers of funds on deposit in the Cash Management Account to the Mezzanine Debt Service Payment Accounts or otherwise to or for the benefit of any Mezzanine Lender, pursuant to the Loan Agreement, the Cash Management Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or Mezzanine Loan Documents are intended by Borrower, the Mezzanine Borrowers and the Mezzanine Lenders to constitute, and shall constitute, distributions from Borrower to the applicable Mezzanine Borrower and from one Mezzanine Borrower to another Mezzanine Borrower, as applicable. No provision of the Loan Documents or the Mezzanine Loan Documents shall create a debtor-creditor relationship between Borrower and any Mezzanine Lender.
Section 2.7 Withholding Taxes.
(a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Section 2.7 Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of the Borrower) requires the deduction or withholding of any Section 2.7 Tax from any such payment by the Borrower, then the Borrower
-59-
shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Section 2.7 Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made. For the purposes of this Section 2.7, the term “Loan Document” shall not include the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, the Assignment of Interest Rate Cap Agreement or any other document with respect thereto, and the term “applicable law” shall include FATCA.
(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. The Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law any Other Taxes.
(c) Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify each Lender, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Lender or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Lender and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(d) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Section 2.7 Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.7, the Borrower shall deliver to the applicable Lender the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to such Lender.
(e) Status of Lenders. (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Section2.7 Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower as will enable the Borrower to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.7(e)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.
-60-
(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;
(B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower), whichever of the following is applicable:
(1) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;
(2) executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI;
(3) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form attached hereto as Schedule VIII-A to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN; or
(4) to the extent a Foreign Lender is a partnership or is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Schedule VIII-B or VIII-C, as applicable, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Schedule VIII-D on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;
-61-
(C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and
(D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower as may be necessary for the Borrower to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower in writing of its legal inability to do so.
(f) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Section 2.7 Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.7 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.7), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Section 2.7 Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Section 2.7 Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (f) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (f), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (f) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its Section 2.7 Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.
-62-
(g) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.7 shall survive any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.
(h) Lender hereby agrees that, upon the occurrence of any circumstances entitling Lender to additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.7, Lender shall use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate a different applicable lending office for the receipt of payments with respect to, or the funding or booking of, its Loan hereunder, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation (i) would eliminate or reduce such additional amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.7 in the future, and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with such designation.
Section 2.8 Extension of the Maturity Date. Borrower shall have the option to extend the Initial Maturity Date of the Loan for three (3) successive terms (each such option, an “Extension Option” and each such successive term, an “Extension Term”) of one (1) year each (the Initial Maturity Date following the exercise of each such option is hereinafter the “Extended Maturity Date”) upon satisfaction of the following terms and conditions:

4.1.5 Agreements. Neither Borrower nor Operating Lessee is a party to any agreement or instrument or subject to any restriction which would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect Borrower, Operating Lessee or the Property, or Borrower’s or Operating Lessee’s business, properties or assets, operations or condition, financial or otherwise.

-65-
4.1.7 Solvency. Borrower has (a) not entered into this transaction or executed the Note, this Agreement or any other Loan Documents with the actual intent to hinder, delay or defraud any creditor and (b) received reasonably equivalent value in exchange for its obligations under such Loan Documents. After giving effect to the Loan, the fair saleable value of Borrower’s assets exceeds and will, immediately following the making of the Loan, exceed Borrower’s total liabilities, including, without limitation, subordinated, unliquidated, disputed and contingent liabilities. The fair saleable value of Borrower’s assets is and will, immediately following the making of the Loan, be greater than Borrower’s probable liabilities, including the maximum amount of its contingent liabilities on its debts as such debts become absolute and matured. Borrower’s assets do not and, immediately following the making of the Loan 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 debt and liabilities (including contingent liabilities and other commitments) beyond its ability to pay such debt and liabilities as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be received by Borrower and the amounts to be payable on or in respect of obligations of Borrower). No petition in bankruptcy has been filed against Borrower, Operating Lessee or any constituent Person in the last seven (7) years, and none of Borrower, Operating Lessee, nor any of their respective constituent Persons in the last seven (7) years has ever made an assignment for the benefit of creditors or taken advantage of any insolvency act for the benefit of debtors.

The foregoing representation shall not apply to any such financial data that constitutes projections, provided, that Borrower represents and warrants that such projections were made in good faith and that Borrower has no reason to believe that such projections were materially inaccurate. Except for Permitted Encumbrances, neither Borrower nor Operating Lessee has any contingent liabilities, liabilities for taxes, unusual forward or long-term commitments or unrealized or anticipated losses from any unfavorable commitments that are known to Borrower and are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Property or the current operation thereof, except as referred to or reflected in said financial statements.

From the Closing Date until payment and performance in full of all Obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents or the earlier release of the Lien of this Agreement or the Mortgage in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, Borrower hereby covenants and agrees with Lender that it will not do (and will not permit Operating Lessee to do), or permit to be done, directly or indirectly, any of the following (and in such connection, references in this Article V to Borrower shall alternatively mean Operating Lessee, as the context may require):
5.2.1 Operation of Property. (a) Borrower shall not, without Lender’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld): (i) surrender, terminate, cancel, amend or modify the Management Agreement; provided, that Borrower may, without Lender’s consent, replace the Manager so long as the replacement manager is a Qualified Manager pursuant to a Replacement Management Agreement and there is a liquor license issued by the State of California to sell and dispense beer, wine and distilled spirits at the Property in the name of such Qualified Manager, Borrower or Operating Lessee; (ii) surrender, terminate or cancel any material IP License to which any IP Owner is a party; (iii) reduce or consent to the reduction of the term of the Management Agreement; (iv) increase or consent to the increase of the amount of any charges or fees under the Management Agreement or any material IP License, or (v) otherwise modify, change, supplement, alter or amend, or waive or release any of its rights and remedies under, the Management Agreement or any material IP License in any material respect.
(b) Following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, neither Borrower nor Operating Lessee shall exercise any rights, make any decisions, grant any approvals or otherwise take any action under the Management Agreement or any material IP License without the prior written consent of Lender, which consent may be granted, conditioned or withheld in Lender’s sole discretion.

5.2.8 Intentionally Omitted.
5.2.9 ERISA. (a) Assuming compliance by the Lender with paragraph (c) of this Section 5.2.9, Borrower shall not engage in any transaction contemplated under this Agreement which would cause any obligation, or action taken or to be taken, hereunder (or the exercise by Lender of any of its rights under the Note, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents) to be a non-exempt (under a statutory or administrative class exemption) prohibited transaction under Section 406(a) of ERISA.
(b) Borrower further covenants and agrees if at such time any “benefit plan investor” subject to Title I of ERISA holds an equity investment in Borrower, Borrower shall, at Lender’s expense, deliver to Lender such certifications from time to time throughout the term of the Loan, as requested by Lender in its sole discretion, but not more frequently than once per calendar year, and on no less than thirty (30) Business Days’ advance written notice, that (i) Borrower is not and Borrower does not maintain an “employee benefit plan” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, which is subject to Title I of ERISA, or a “governmental plan” within the meaning of Section 3(3) of ERISA; (ii) Borrower is not subject to any state statutes applicable to Borrower regulating investments and fiduciary obligations with respect to governmental plans; and (iii) one or more of the following circumstances with respect to Borrower is true:

(iii) Borrower qualifies as an “operating company” or a “real estate operating company” within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. §2510.3-101(c) or (e) or another exception to ERISA applies such that Borrower’s assets should not constitute “plan assets” of any “benefit plan investor” within the meaning of Section 3(42) of ERISA and the regulations promulgated thereunder.
(c) Lender represents and warrants, that no portion of the assets used by any Lender in connection with the transactions contemplated under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitutes assets of a (i) “benefit plan investor” within the meaning of 29 C.F.R.

5.2.10 Transfers. (a) Borrower acknowledges that Lender has examined and relied on the experience of Borrower and its stockholders, general partners, members, principals and (if Borrower is a trust) beneficial owners in owning and operating properties such as the Property in agreeing to make the Loan, and will continue to rely on Borrower’s ownership of the Property as a means of maintaining the value of the Property as security for repayment of the Debt and the performance of the Other Obligations. Borrower acknowledges that Lender has a valid interest in maintaining the value of the Property so as to ensure that, should Borrower default in the repayment of the Debt or the performance of the Other Obligations, Lender can recover the Debt by a sale of the Property.

-100-
(viii) Intentionally omitted;
(ix) Qualified Transferee must be able to satisfy all representations and covenants in Section 4.1.30 hereof (or in the event of a transfer of 100% of the equity interests in Borrower, Borrower shall continue to satisfy all representations and covenants in Section 4.1.30), and in all cases Qualified Transferee and Qualified Transferee’s Principals must be able to satisfy all the representations and covenants set forth in Sections 4.1.35, 5.1.23 and 5.2.9 of this Agreement, no Default or Event of Default shall otherwise occur as a result of such Transfer, and Qualified Transferee shall deliver (A) all organizational documentation reasonably requested by Lender, which shall be reasonably satisfactory to Lender and, following a Securitization, satisfactory to the Approved Rating Agencies and (B) all certificates, agreements, covenants and legal opinions reasonably required by Lender;

(b) All insurance provided for in Section 6.1(a) hereof, shall be obtained under valid and enforceable policies (collectively, the “Policies” or in the singular, the “Policy”), and shall be subject to the approval of Lender as to insurance companies, amounts, deductibles, loss payees and insureds. The Policies shall be issued by financially sound and responsible insurance companies authorized to do business in the State and having a rating of “A” or better by S&P provided, however, that if Borrower elects to have its insurance coverage provided by a syndicate of insurers, then, if such syndicate consists of five (5) or more members, (A) at least sixty percent (60%) of the insurance coverage (or seventy-five percent (75%) if such syndicate consists of four (4) or fewer members) and one hundred (100%) of the first layer of such insurance coverage shall be provided by insurance companies having a claims paying ability rating of “A” or better by S&P and (B) the remaining forty percent (40%) of the insurance coverage (or the remaining twenty-five percent (25%) if such syndicate consists of four (4) or fewer members) shall be provided by insurance companies having a claims paying ability rating of “BBB+” or better by S&P. The Policies described in Section 6.1 hereof (other than those strictly limited to liability protection) shall designate Lender as loss payee. Not less than ten (10) days prior to the expiration dates of the Policies theretofore furnished to Lender, certificates of insurance evidencing the Policies accompanied by evidence satisfactory to Lender of payment of the premiums due thereunder (the “Insurance Premiums”), shall be delivered by Borrower to Lender.
(c) Any blanket insurance Policy shall specifically allocate to the Property the amount of coverage from time to time required hereunder and shall otherwise provide the same protection as would a separate Policy insuring only the Property in compliance with the provisions of Section 6.1(a) hereof.
(d) All Policies provided for or contemplated by Section 6.1(a) hereof shall name Borrower as the insured and, in the case of liability policies, except for the Policy referenced in Section 6.1(a)(vii) of this Agreement, shall name Lender as the additional insured, as its interests may appear, and in the case of property damage, including but not limited to terrorism, boiler and machinery, flood and earthquake insurance, shall contain a standard non-contributing mortgagee clause in favor of Lender providing that the loss thereunder shall be payable to Lender and guaranteeing thirty (30) days’ notice of cancellation to the Lender, except ten (10) days’ notice for non-payment of premium.
(e) All Policies shall contain clauses or endorsements to the effect that:
(i) no act or negligence of Borrower, or anyone acting for Borrower, or of any Tenant or other occupant, or foreclosure or similar action, or failure to comply with the provisions of any Policy, which might otherwise result in a forfeiture of the insurance or any part thereof, shall in any way affect the validity or enforceability of the insurance insofar as Lender is concerned, as set forth in the non-contributory mortgagee clause required herein;
(ii) the Policy shall not be materially changed (other than to increase the coverage provided thereby) or canceled without at least thirty (30) days written notice to Lender and any other party named therein as an additional insured, except ten (10) days’ notice for non-payment of premium or, if issuer will not or cannot provide the notices required herein, Borrower shall be obligated to provide such notice;
-107-
(iii) the issuers thereof shall give ten (10) days’ written notice to Lender if the issuers of such Policy elect not to renew the Policy prior to its expiration or, if issuer will not or cannot provide the notices required herein, Borrower shall be obligated to provide such notice; and
(iv) Lender shall not be liable for any Insurance Premiums thereon or subject to any assessments thereunder.
(f) If at any time Lender is not in receipt of written evidence that all insurance required hereunder is in full force and effect, Lender shall have the right, without notice to Borrower, to take such action as Lender deems necessary to protect its interest in the Property, including, without limitation, the obtaining of such insurance coverage as Lender in its sole discretion deems appropriate after three (3) Business Days’ notice to Borrower if prior to the date upon which any such coverage will lapse or at any time Lender deems necessary (regardless of prior notice to Borrower) to avoid the lapse of any such coverage. All premiums incurred by Lender in connection with such action or in obtaining such insurance and keeping it in effect shall be paid by Borrower to Lender upon demand and, until paid, shall be secured by the Mortgage and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.
Section 6.2 Casualty. If the Property shall be damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty (a “Casualty”), Borrower shall give prompt written notice of such damage to Lender and shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the completion of the Restoration of the Property pursuant to this Section 6.4 hereof as nearly as possible to the condition the Property was in immediately prior to such Casualty, with such alterations as may be reasonably approved by Lender and otherwise in accordance with Section 6.4 hereof. Borrower shall pay all costs of such Restoration whether or not such costs are covered by insurance. Lender may, but shall not be obligated to make proof of loss if not made promptly by Borrower. In addition, Lender may participate in any settlement discussions with any insurance companies with respect to any Casualty in which the Net Proceeds or the costs of completing the Restoration are equal to or greater than the Casualty/Condemnation Threshold Amount and Borrower shall deliver to Lender all instruments required by Lender to permit such participation.
Section 6.3 Condemnation. (a) Borrower shall promptly give Lender notice of the actual or threatened commencement of any proceeding for the Condemnation of the Property and shall deliver to Lender copies of any and all papers served in connection with such proceedings. Lender may participate in any such proceedings, and Borrower shall from time to time deliver to Lender all instruments requested by it to permit such participation. Borrower shall, at its expense, diligently prosecute any such proceedings, and shall consult with Lender, its attorneys and experts, and cooperate with them in the carrying on or defense of any such proceedings. Notwithstanding any taking by any public or quasi-public authority through Condemnation or otherwise (including, but not limited to, any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of the exercise of such taking), Borrower shall continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided for its payment in the Note and in this Agreement and the Debt shall not be reduced until any Award shall have been actually received and applied by Lender, after the deduction of
-108-
expenses of collection, to the reduction or discharge of the Debt. Lender shall not be limited to the interest paid on the Award by the condemning authority but shall be entitled to receive out of the Award interest at the rate or rates provided herein or in the Note. If any portion of the Property is taken by a condemning authority, Borrower shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the Restoration of the Property pursuant to Section 6.4 hereof and otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 6.4 hereof. If the Property is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Lender of the Award, Lender shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Note shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive the Award, or a portion thereof sufficient to pay the Debt.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, if the Loan or any portion thereof is included in a REMIC Trust and, immediately following a release of any portion of the Lien of the Mortgage in connection with a Condemnation of a Property (but taking into account any proposed Restoration on the remaining portion the Property) (based solely on real property and excluding any personal property or going concern value), the Loan-to-Value Ratio is greater than 125% (such value to be determined, in Lender’s sole discretion, by any commercially reasonable method permitted to a REMIC Trust), the principal balance of the Loan must prepaid down by an amount not less than the least of the following amounts: (i) the Condemnation Proceeds, (ii) the fair market value of the released property at the time of the release, or (iii) an amount such that the Loan-to-Value Ratio (as so determined by Lender) does not increase after the release, unless Lender receives an opinion of counsel that if such amount is not paid, the Securitization will not fail to maintain its status as a REMIC Trust as a result of the related release of such portion of the Lien of the Mortgage. Any such prepayment shall be deemed a voluntary prepayment and shall be subject to Section 2.4.1 hereof (other than the requirements to prepay the Debt in full and provide thirty (30) days’ notice to Lender).
Section 6.4 Restoration. The following provisions shall apply in connection with the Restoration of the Property:
(a) If the Net Proceeds shall be less than the Casualty/Condemnation Threshold Amount and the costs of completing the Restoration shall be less than Casualty/Condemnation Threshold Amount, the Net Proceeds will be disbursed by Lender to Borrower upon receipt, provided that all of the conditions set forth in Section 6.4(b)(i) hereof are met and Borrower delivers to Lender a written undertaking to expeditiously commence and to satisfactorily complete with due diligence the Restoration in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(b) If the Net Proceeds are equal to or greater than Casualty/Condemnation Threshold Amount or the costs of completing the Restoration is equal to or greater than Casualty/Condemnation Threshold Amount Lender shall make the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4. The term “Net Proceeds” for purposes of this Section 6.4 shall mean: (i) the net amount of all insurance proceeds received by Lender pursuant to Section 6.1(a)(i), (iv), (ix) and (x) as a result of such damage or destruction, after deduction of its reasonable costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable counsel fees), if any, in collecting same (“Insurance Proceeds”), or (ii) the net amount of the Award, after deduction of its reasonable costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable counsel fees), if any, in collecting same (“Condemnation Proceeds”), whichever the case may be.
-109-
(i) The Net Proceeds shall be made available to Borrower for Restoration provided that each of the following conditions are met:
(A) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;
(B) (1) in the event the Net Proceeds are Insurance Proceeds, less than thirty percent (30%) of the total floor area of the Improvements on the Property has been damaged, destroyed or rendered unusable as a result of such Casualty or (2) in the event the Net Proceeds are Condemnation Proceeds, less than thirty percent (30%) of the land constituting the Property is taken, and such land is located along the perimeter or periphery of the Property, and no portion of the Improvements is located on such land;
(C) Intentionally Omitted.
(D) Borrower shall commence the Restoration as soon as reasonably practicable (but in no event later than ninety (90) days after such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, occurs) and shall diligently pursue the same to satisfactory completion; provided, that for purposes of this clause the filing of an application for a building permit for the Restoration shall be deemed to be commencement of the Restoration provided Borrower promptly commences work thereafter and diligently proceeds to the completion of such Restoration;
(E) Lender shall be satisfied that any operating deficits, including all scheduled payments of principal and interest under the Note, which will be incurred with respect to the Property as a result of the occurrence of any such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, will be covered out of (1) the Net Proceeds, (2) the insurance coverage referred to in Section 6.1(a)(ii) hereof, if applicable, or (3) by other funds of Borrower;
(F) Lender shall be satisfied that the Restoration will be completed on or before the earliest to occur of (1) one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the Maturity Date, (2) such time as may be required under all applicable Legal Requirements in order to repair and restore the Property to the condition it was in immediately prior to such Casualty or to as nearly as possible the condition it was in immediately prior to such Condemnation, as applicable, or (3) the expiration of the insurance coverage referred to in Section 6.1(a)(ii) hereof;
(G) the Property and the use thereof after the Restoration will be in compliance with and permitted under all applicable Legal Requirements (including as a legal non-conforming use);
(H) the Restoration shall be done and completed by Borrower in an expeditious and diligent fashion and in compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements;

(I) such Casualty or Condemnation, as applicable, does not result in the loss of access to the Property or the Improvements;
(J) the Debt Yield immediately prior to such Casualty or Condemnation was equal to or greater than 7.00%;
(K) Borrower shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Lender a signed detailed budget approved in writing by Borrower’s architect or engineer stating the entire cost of completing the Restoration, which budget shall be approved by Lender in the same manner as each Annual Budget is to be approved by Lender during the continuance of a Cash Trap Period; and
(L) the Net Proceeds together with any cash or cash equivalent deposited by Borrower with Lender are sufficient in Lender’s discretion to cover the cost of the Restoration.
(ii) The Net Proceeds shall be held by Lender in an interest-bearing Eligible Account and, until disbursed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4(b), shall constitute additional security for the Debt and Other Obligations under the Loan Documents. The Net Proceeds shall be disbursed by Lender to, or as directed by, Borrower from time to time during the course of the Restoration, upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to Lender that (A) all materials installed and work and labor performed (except to the extent that they are to be paid for out of the requested disbursement) in connection with the Restoration have been paid for in full, and (B) there exist no notices of pendency, stop orders, mechanic’s or materialman’s liens or notices of intention to file same, or any other liens or encumbrances of any nature whatsoever on the Property which have not either been fully bonded to the satisfaction of Lender and discharged of record or in the alternative fully insured to the satisfaction of Lender by the title company issuing the Title Insurance Policy.
(iii) All plans and specifications required in connection with the Restoration shall be subject to prior review and acceptance in all respects by Lender and by an independent consulting engineer selected by Lender (the “Casualty Consultant”). Lender shall have the use of the plans and specifications and all permits, licenses and approvals required or obtained in connection with the Restoration. The identity of the contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration, as well as the contracts under which they have been engaged, shall be subject to prior review reasonable acceptance by Lender and the Casualty Consultant. All reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with making the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration including, without limitation, reasonable counsel fees and disbursements and the Casualty Consultant’s fees, shall be paid by Borrower. Lender shall grant or deny with a reasonable explanation any consent required hereunder within fourteen (14) days after the receipt of the applicable request and all documents in connection therewith. In the event that Lender fails to respond within said fourteen (14) day period, such failure shall be deemed to be the consent and approval of Lender if (A) Borrower has delivered to Lender the applicable documents, with the notation “IMMEDIATE RESPONSE REQUIRED, FAILURE TO RESPOND TO THIS APPROVAL
-111-
REQUEST WITHIN FOURTEEN (14) DAYS FROM RECEIPT SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE LENDER’S APPROVAL” prominently displayed in bold, all caps and fourteen (14) point or larger font in the transmittal letter requesting approval and (B) Lender does not approve or reject (with a reasonable explanation) the applicable request within fourteen (14) days from the date Lender receives such request as evidenced by a certified mail return receipt or confirmation by a reputable national overnight delivery service that the same has been delivered to Borrower.
(iv) In no event shall Lender be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds in excess of an amount equal to the costs actually incurred from time to time for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, minus the Casualty Retainage. The term “Casualty Retainage” shall mean an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the costs actually incurred for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, until the Restoration has been completed. The Casualty Retainage shall in no event, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above in this Section 6.4(b), be less than the amount actually held back by Borrower from contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration. The Casualty Retainage shall not be released until the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4(b) and that all approvals necessary for the re-occupancy and use of the Property have been obtained from all appropriate governmental and quasi-governmental authorities, and Lender receives evidence satisfactory to Lender that the costs of the Restoration have been paid in full or will be paid in full out of the Casualty Retainage; provided, however, that Lender will release the portion of the Casualty Retainage being held with respect to any contractor, subcontractor or materialman engaged in the Restoration as of the date upon which the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the contractor, subcontractor or materialman has satisfactorily completed all work and has supplied all materials in accordance with the provisions of the contractor’s, subcontractor’s or materialman’s contract, the contractor, subcontractor or materialman delivers the lien waivers and evidence of payment in full of all sums due to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman as may be reasonably requested by Lender or by the title company issuing the Title Insurance Policy, and Lender receives an endorsement to the Title Insurance Policy insuring the continued priority of the lien of the Mortgage and evidence of payment of any premium payable for such endorsement. If required by Lender, the release of any such portion of the Casualty Retainage shall be approved by the surety company, if any, which has issued a payment or performance bond with respect to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman.
(v) Lender shall not be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds more frequently than once every calendar month.
(vi) If at any time the Net Proceeds or the undisbursed balance thereof shall not, in the 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 (A) deposit the deficiency (the “Net Proceeds Deficiency”) with Lender or (B) deliver a Letter of
-112-
Credit reasonably satisfactory to Lender in an amount equal to the Net Proceeds Deficiency 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 6.4(b) shall constitute additional security for the Debt and Other Obligations under the Loan Documents.
(vii) The excess, if any, of the Net Proceeds (and the remaining balance, if any, of the Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender) after the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4(b), and the receipt by Lender of evidence satisfactory to Lender that all costs incurred in connection with the Restoration have been paid in full, shall be remitted by Lender (i) to the Mezzanine A Lender to be disbursed in accordance with the Mezzanine A Loan Documents, (ii) if the Mezzanine A Loan has been satisfied in full, to the Mezzanine B Lender to be applied in accordance with the Mezzanine B Loan Documents, (iii) if the Mezzanine B Loan has been satisfied in full, to Borrower, provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and shall be continuing under the Note, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.
(c) Lender shall, with reasonable promptness following any Casualty or Condemnation, notify Borrower whether or not Net Proceeds are required to be made available to Borrower for a Restoration pursuant to Section 6.4 (or, if the same are not required to be made available to Borrower for Restoration pursuant to this Section 6.4, whether Lender will nevertheless make the same available, which election Lender may make in its sole and absolute discretion). 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 6.4(b)(vii) hereof may be retained and applied by Lender toward the payment of the Debt in accordance with Section 2.4.2 hereof, 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 approve, in its discretion.
(d) In the event of foreclosure of the Mortgage, or other transfer of title to the Property in extinguishment in whole or in part of the Debt all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to the Policies that are not blanket Policies then in force concerning the Property and all proceeds payable thereunder shall thereupon vest in the purchaser at such foreclosure or Lender or other transferee in the event of such other transfer of title.
ARTICLE VII – RESERVE FUNDS
Section 7.1 Required Repairs.
7.1.1 Deposits. Borrower shall perform the repairs at the Property, as more particularly set forth on Schedule II hereto (such repairs hereinafter referred to as “Required Repairs”). Borrower shall complete the Required Repairs on or before (a) if such repairs involve issues relating to relating to the protection of the health and safety of any tenant, patron or other occupant of the Property, as soon as commercially practicable not to exceed ninety (90) days
-113-
from the date hereof or (b) if such repairs do not involve issues relating to relating to the protection of human health and safety, then within one (1) year of the date hereof (collectively, the “Required Repairs Deadline”). It shall be an Event of Default under this Agreement if (a) Borrower does not complete the Required Repairs at the Property on or before the Required Repairs Deadline, or (b) Borrower does not satisfy each condition contained in Section 7.1.2 hereof; provided, however, if Borrower shall have been unable to complete a Required Repair by the Required Repair Deadline, after using commercially reasonable efforts to do so and provided that the failure to complete such Required Repair does not endanger any tenant, patron or other occupant of the Property or the general public and does not materially and adversely affect the value of the Property, the Required Repair Deadline shall be automatically extended solely as to such Required Repair to permit Borrower to complete such Required Repair so long as Borrower is at all times thereafter diligently and expeditiously proceeding to complete the same (provided that such additional period shall not exceed ninety (90) days in respect of any Required Repair). Upon the occurrence of such an Event of Default, Lender, at its option, may withdraw all Required Repair Funds from the Required Repair Account and Lender may apply such funds either to completion of the Required Repairs at the Property or toward payment of the Debt in such order, proportion and priority as Lender may determine in its sole discretion. Lender’s right to withdraw and apply Required Repair Funds shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies provided to Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. On the Closing Date, Borrower shall deposit with Lender an amount equal to One Hundred Thirty-One Thousand Two Hundred Fifty and No/100 Dollars ($131,250.00) to perform the Required Repairs for the Property. Amounts so deposited with Lender shall be held by Lender in accordance with Section 7.7 hereof. Amounts so deposited shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrower’s “Required Repair Fund” and the account in which such amounts are held shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrower’s “Required Repair Account”.
7.1.2 Release of Required Repair Funds. Lender shall disburse to Borrower the Required Repair Funds from the Required Repair Account from time to time upon satisfaction by Borrower of each of the following conditions: (a) Borrower shall submit a written request for payment to Lender at least ten (10) days prior to the date on which Borrower requests such payment be made and specifies the Required Repairs to be paid, (b) on the date such payment is to be made, no Event of Default shall exist and remain uncured and (c) Lender shall have received an Officer’s Certificate (i) stating that all Required Repairs to be funded by the requested disbursement have been performed in good and workmanlike manner and in accordance with all applicable federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations, such certificate to be accompanied by a copy of any license, permit or other approval by any Governmental Authority required to commence and/or complete the Required Repairs, (ii) identifying each Person that supplied materials or labor in connection with the Required Repairs to be funded by the requested disbursement, and (iii) stating that each such Person has been paid or will be paid the amounts then due and payable to such Person in connection with the Required Repairs with the proceeds of such disbursement, such Officer’s Certificate to be accompanied by lien waivers or other evidence of payment satisfactory to Lender. Lender shall not be required to make disbursements from the Required Repair Account with respect to the Property unless such requested disbursement is in an amount greater than Twenty-Five Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($25,000.00) (or a lesser amount if the total amount in the Required Repair Account is less than $25,000.00), in which case only one disbursement of the amount remaining in the account shall be made) and such disbursement shall be made only upon satisfaction of each condition contained in this Section 7.1.2.
-114-
Section 7.2 Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund.
(a) To the extent Taxes, Other Charges and/or Insurance Premiums are not reserved for in a Manager Account maintained by Manager pursuant to the Management Agreement or previously paid for by Manager pursuant to the Management Agreement (provided, that to the extent so reserved or paid, Borrower delivers to Lender the invoices and other evidence of payment required under Section 5.1.2 and Section 6.1 hereof in which case the required deposit will be reduced on a dollar-for-dollar basis by such amount) . Borrower shall pay to Lender (i) on the Closing Date an initial deposit and (ii) on each Payment Date thereafter (A) one-twelfth (1/12) of the Taxes, Other Charges and all amounts due pursuant to the Approved Master Plan and/or the North Beach Property Documents, that Lender reasonably estimates will be payable during the next ensuing twelve (12) months in order to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Taxes, all amounts due pursuant to the Approved Master Plan and/or the North Beach Property Documents, and Other Charges at least thirty (30) days prior to their respective due dates, and (B) one-twelfth (1/12) of the Insurance Premiums that Lender estimates will be payable for the renewal of the coverage afforded by the Policies upon the expiration thereof in order to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Insurance Premiums at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Policies (said amounts in (i) and (ii) above hereinafter called the “Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund”). Lender will apply the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund to payments of Taxes and Insurance Premiums required to be made by Borrower pursuant to Section 5.1.2 hereof and under the Mortgage. In making any payment relating to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund, Lender may do so according to any xxxx, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office (with respect to Taxes) or insurer or agent (with respect to Insurance Premiums), without inquiry into the accuracy of such xxxx, statement or estimate or into the validity of any tax, assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim thereof. Provided that sufficient amounts are on deposit in the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund, Lender shall upon Borrower’s written request, reimburse Borrower from amounts on deposit in the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund for all real property Taxes and Other Charges actually paid by Borrower. As a precondition to any such reimbursement, Borrower shall submit to Lender an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the amount of tax payments made and jurisdictions in which such payments were made and upon the written request of Lender receipts for payment or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that such real, property Taxes and Other Charges have been paid. If the amount of the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund shall exceed the amounts due for Taxes, Other Charges and Insurance Premiums pursuant to Section 5.1.2 hereof, Lender shall, in its sole discretion, return any excess to Borrower or credit such excess against future payments to be made to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund. If at any time Lender reasonably determines that the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund is not or will not be sufficient to pay Taxes, Other Charges and Insurance Premiums by the dates set forth in (I) and (II) above, Lender shall provide written notice to Borrower of such determination and Borrower shall, commencing with the first Payment Date following Borrower’s receipt of such written notice, increase its monthly payments to Lender by the amount that Lender estimates is sufficient to make up the deficiency at least thirty (30) days prior to the due date of the Taxes and Other Charges and/or thirty (30) days prior to expiration of the Policies, as the case may be. Any amount remaining in the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund after the Debt has been paid in full shall be returned to Borrower.
-115-
(b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to the extent that any of the insurance required to be maintained by Borrower or Operating Lessee under this Agreement and/or any other Loan Document is effected under a blanket policy reasonably acceptable to Lender insuring substantially all of the real property owned, directly or indirectly, by Guarantor, Borrower shall not be required to make deposits pursuant to the foregoing with respect to Insurance Premiums.
Section 7.3 Replacements and Replacement Reserve.
7.3.1 Replacement Reserve Fund. Borrower shall pay to Lender (a) on the Closing Date an initial deposit and (b) on each Payment Date thereafter an amount equal to the Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposit to fund the cost of Replacements; provided, however, that Replacements shall not include expense items that otherwise would be expensed in the operating statements of the Property pursuant to the Uniform System of Accounts, and provided further, that for so long as Borrower is or is causing Operating Lessee to maintain the Property in accordance with the Management Agreement, the Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposit shall be reduced on a dollar-for-dollar basis by any amounts deposited into the Manager FF&E Reserve Account for Replacements or PIP for the applicable calendar month as set forth in the Annual Budget and required pursuant to the Management Agreement, to the extent that Lender shall have received evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that such deposit has been made. Amounts so deposited shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrower’s “Replacement Reserve Fund” and the account in which such amounts are held shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrower’s “Replacement Reserve Account”. Lender may reassess its estimate of the amount necessary for the Replacement Reserve Fund from time to time, and may increase the monthly amounts required to be deposited into the Replacement Reserve Fund upon thirty (30) days’ notice to Borrower if Lender determines in its reasonable discretion that an increase is necessary to maintain the proper maintenance and operation of the Property.
7.3.2 Disbursements from Replacement Reserve Account. (a) Lender shall make disbursements from the Replacement Reserve Account to pay Borrower only for the costs of the Replacements. Lender shall not be obligated to make disbursements from the Replacement Reserve Account to reimburse Borrower for the costs which are to be reimbursed from the Required Repair Fund.
(b) Lender shall, upon five (5) Business Days of written request from Borrower and satisfaction of the requirements set forth in this Section 7.3.2, disburse to Borrower amounts from the Replacement Reserve Account necessary to pay for the actual costs of Replacements or to reimburse Borrower therefor, upon completion of such Replacements (or, upon partial completion in the case of Replacements made pursuant to Section 7.3.2(e) hereof). In no event shall Lender be obligated to disburse funds from the Replacement Reserve Account if an Event of Default exists.
-116-
(c) Each request for disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account shall be in a form specified or approved by Lender and shall specify (i) the specific Replacements for which the disbursement is requested, (ii) the description and vendor/payee of each item purchased, if the Replacement includes the purchase or replacement of specific items, (iii) the price of all materials (grouped by type or category) used in any Replacement other than the purchase or replacement of specific items, and (iv) the cost of all contracted labor or other services applicable to each Replacement for which such request for disbursement is made (or portion thereof in the case of periodic payments). With each request Borrower shall certify that all Replacements have been made in accordance with all applicable Legal Requirements of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Property to which the Replacements are being provided. If the total costs of all Replacements with respect to the Property in any request is greater than or equal to Five Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($500,000.00), and if requested by Lender, such request for disbursement shall include copies of invoices in excess of One Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($150,000.00) (or portion thereof in the case of periodic payments). In lieu of the foregoing, each request for disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account totaling greater than Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars and No/100 Dollars ($250,000.00) may be accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate with respect thereto. Except as provided in Section 7.3.2(e) below, or as may be approved by Lender, each request for disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account shall be made only after completion of the Replacement for which disbursement is requested. Borrower shall provide Lender evidence of completion of the subject Replacement or portion thereof reasonably satisfactory to Lender in its reasonable judgment.
(d) Borrower shall pay all invoices in connection with the Replacements with respect to which a disbursement is requested prior to submitting such request for disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account or, at the request of Borrower, Lender will issue joint checks, payable to Borrower and the contractor, supplier, materialman, mechanic, subcontractor or other party to whom payment is due in connection with a Replacement. In the case of payments made by joint check, Lender may require a waiver of lien from each Person receiving payment prior to Lender’s disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account.

Any lien waiver delivered hereunder shall conform to the requirements of applicable law and shall cover all work performed and materials supplied (including equipment and fixtures) for the Property by that contractor, supplier, subcontractor, mechanic or materialman through the date covered by the current reimbursement request (or, in the event that payment to such contractor, supplier, subcontractor, mechanic or materialmen is to be made by a joint check, the release of lien shall be effective through the date covered by the previous release of funds request).

Upon Lender’s request, Borrower shall assign any contract or subcontract to Lender.
(c) During the continuance of an Event of Default, in the event Lender determines in its reasonable discretion that any Replacement is not being performed in a workmanlike or timely manner or that any Replacement has not been completed in a workmanlike or timely manner, upon three (3) Business Days written notice to Borrower, Lender shall have the option to withhold disbursement for such unsatisfactory Replacement and to proceed under existing contracts or to contract with third parties to complete such Replacement and to apply the Replacement Reserve Fund toward the labor and materials necessary to complete such Replacement, without providing any prior notice to Borrower and to exercise any and all other remedies available to Lender upon an Event of Default hereunder.

(f) If reasonably determined to be necessary, Borrower shall permit Lender and Lender’s agents and representatives (including, without limitation, Lender’s engineer, architect, or inspector) or third parties making Replacements pursuant to this Section 7.3.3 to enter onto the Property during normal business hours (subject to the rights of Tenants under their Leases) to inspect the progress of any Replacements and all materials being used in connection therewith, to examine all plans and shop drawings relating to such Replacements which are or may be kept at the Property, and to complete any Replacements made pursuant to this Section 7.3.3.

Lender may require that such inspection be conducted by an appropriate independent qualified professional selected by Lender and reasonably approved by Borrower and/or may require a copy of a certificate of completion by an independent qualified professional reasonabl acceptable to Lender prior to the disbursement of any amounts from the Replacement Reserve Account. Borrower shall pay the actual out-of-pocket expense of the inspection as required hereunder, whether such inspection is conducted by Lender or by an independent qualified professional.
(h) The Replacements and all materials, equipment, fixtures, or any other item comprising a part of any Replacement shall be constructed, installed or completed, as applicable, free and clear of all mechanic’s, materialmen’s or other liens (except for those Liens existing on the date of this Agreement which have been approved in writing by Lender).

(j) In addition to any insurance required under the Loan Documents, Borrower shall provide or cause to be provided workmen’s compensation insurance, builder’s risk, and public liability insurance and other insurance to the extent required under applicable law in connection with a particular Replacement. All such policies shall be in form and amount reasonably satisfactory to Lender. All such policies which can be endorsed with standard mortgagee clauses making loss payable to Lender or its assigns shall be so endorsed. Certified copies of such policies shall be delivered to Lender.
7.3.4 Failure to Make Replacements. (a) It shall be an Event of Default under this Agreement if Borrower fails to comply with any provision of this Section 7.3 and such failure is not cured within thirty (30) days after Borrower’s receipt of written notice from Lender. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of such an Event of Default, Lender may use the Replacement Reserve Fund (or any portion thereof) for any purpose, including but not limited to completion of the Replacements as provided in Section 7.3.3, or for any other repair or replacement to the Property or toward payment of the Debt in such order, proportion and priority as Lender may determine in its sole discretion. Lender’s right to withdraw and apply the Replacement Reserve Fund shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies provided to Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
(b) Nothing in this Agreement shall obligate Lender to apply all or any portion of the Replacement Reserve Fund on account of an Event of Default to payment of the Debt or in any specific order or priority.
7.3.5 Balance in the Replacement Reserve Account.

If at any time the amounts on deposit in the applicable Hotel Taxes and Custodial Funds Reserve Account for any calendar

If the amounts on deposit in the applicable Hotel Taxes Custodial Funds Reserve Account in any given calendar month exceed the amount set forth on the Hotel Taxes and Custodial Funds Certificate for such month, such excess amounts shall be re-deposited promptly into the Cash Management Account on the next Payment Date and applied in accordance with the Cash Management Agreement.

-125-
enforcement of its rights and remedies under any of the Loan Documents with respect to all or any part of the Property. Any such actions taken by Lender shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singularly, 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 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 Property and the Mortgage has been foreclosed, sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Debt or the Debt has been paid in full, including without limitation, any liquidation fees, workout fees, special servicing fees and interest payable on advances made by the Servicer with respect to delinquent debt service payments or expenses of curing Borrower’s or Operating Lessee’s defaults under the Loan Documents or other similar fees payable to Servicer or any special servicer in connection therewith.

In addition, Lender shall have the right from time to time to partially foreclose the Mortgage in any manner and for any amounts secured by the Mortgage 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 the Mortgage 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 the Mortgage to recover so much of the principal balance of the Loan as Lender may accelerate and such other sums secured by the Mortgage as Lender may elect. Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, the Property shall remain subject to the Mortgage to secure payment of sums secured by the Mortgage and not previously recovered.
(c) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, 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. Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints Lender as its true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in its name and stead to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect the aforesaid severance, 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) days after notice has been given to Borrower by Lender of Lender’s intent to exercise its rights under such power. Borrower shall be obligated to pay any costs or
-126-
expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, execution, recording or filing of the Severed Loan Documents and 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) As used in this Section 8.2, a “foreclosure” shall include, without limitation, any sale by power of sale.
Section 8.3 Remedies Cumulative; Waivers. The rights, powers and remedies of Lender under this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which Lender 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 singularly, concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in Lender’s sole discretion. No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of Default shall impair any such remedy, right or power or shall be construed as a waiver thereof, but any such remedy, right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. A waiver of one Default or Event of Default with respect to Borrower shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default by Borrower or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon.

(e) Without the prior written consent of Lender or its designee (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), no Indemnifying Person shall settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder (whether or not any Indemnified Person is an actual or potential party to such claim, action, suit or proceeding) unless the Indemnifying Person shall have given Lender or its designee reasonable prior written notice thereof and shall have obtained an unconditional release of each Indemnified Person hereunder from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceedings. As long as an Indemnifying Person has complied with its obligations to defend and indemnify hereunder, such Indemnifying Person shall not be liable for any settlement made by any Indemnified Person without the consent of such Indemnifying Person (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
-132-
(f) The Indemnifying Persons agree that if any indemnification or reimbursement sought pursuant to this Section 9.2 is finally judicially determined to be unavailable for any reason or is insufficient to hold any Indemnified Person harmless (with respect only to the Liabilities that are the subject of this Section 9.2), then the Indemnifying Persons, on the one hand, and such Indemnified Person, on the other hand, shall contribute to the Liabilities for which such indemnification or reimbursement is held unavailable or is insufficient: (x) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits to the Indemnifying Persons, on the one hand, and such Indemnified Person, on the other hand, from the transactions to which such indemnification or reimbursement relates; or (y) if the allocation provided by clause (x) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (x) but also the relative faults of the Indemnifying Persons, on the one hand, and all Indemnified Persons, on the other hand, as well as any other equitable considerations. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 9.2, (A) no party found liable for a fraudulent misrepresentation shall be entitled to contribution from any other party who is not also found liable for such fraudulent misrepresentation, and (B) the Indemnifying Persons agree that in no event shall the amount to be contributed by the Indemnified Persons collectively pursuant to this paragraph exceed the amount of the fees actually received by the Indemnified Persons in connection with the closing of the Loan and Securitization.
(g) The Indemnifying Persons agree that the indemnification, contribution and reimbursement obligations set forth in this Section 9.2 shall apply whether or not any Indemnified Person is a formal party to any lawsuits, claims or other proceedings. The Indemnifying Persons further agree that the Indemnified Persons are intended third party beneficiaries under this Section 9.2.
(h) The liabilities and obligations of the Indemnified Persons and the Indemnifying Persons under this Section 9.2 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the satisfaction and discharge of the Debt.

(a) The Servicer, or if no Servicer has been engaged, Lender, as non-fiduciary agent of Borrower, shall maintain a record that identifies each owner (including successors and assignees) of an interest in the Loan, including the name and address of the owner, and each owner’s rights to principal and stated interest (the “Register”), and shall record all transfers of an interest in the Loan, including each assignment, in the Register. Transfers of interests in the Loan (including assignments) shall be subject to the applicable conditions set forth in the Loan Documents with respect thereto and Servicer will update the Register to reflect the transfer. Furthermore, each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as agent of Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts and stated interest of each participant’s interest (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the U.S. Department of Treasury regulations. The entries in the Register and Participant Register shall be conclusive. The Borrower, the Lenders and the Servicer shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, and the Borrower, the Lenders and the Servicer shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register pursuant to the terms hereof as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement. Failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, however, shall not affect Borrower’s obligations in respect of the Loan. Borrower and Lender acknowledge that the Notes are in registered form and may not be transferred except by register.
(b) Borrower agrees that each participant pursuant to Section 9.1.1(a) shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.2.3(f) and (h) and Section 2.7 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.7(e) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.7(e) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment; provided that such participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 2.7(h) as if it were an assignee hereunder; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.2.3(f) or Section 2.7, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a change in a requirement of law or in the interpretation or application thereof, or compliance by such participant or the participating Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) issued from any central bank or other Governmental Authority, in each case after the participant acquired the applicable participation.

Section 10.10 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.

Section 10.11 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 matters for which Borrower is not, pursuant to applicable Legal Requirements, permitted to waive the giving of notice.

Any cost and expenses due and payable to Lender may be paid from any amounts in the Cash Management Account.
(b) Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Indemnified Parties from and against any and all other 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 in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding commenced or threatened, whether or not an Indemnified Party shall be designated a party thereto), that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against any Indemnified Party 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,
-143-

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 the Indemnified Parties.
(c) Borrower covenants and agrees to pay for or, if Borrower fails to pay, to reimburse Lender for, any fees and expenses incurred by any Rating Agency in connection with any Rating Agency review of the Loan, the Loan Documents or any transaction contemplated thereby or any consent, approval, waiver or confirmation obtained from such Rating Agency pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document and Lender shall be entitled to require payment of such fees and expenses as a condition precedent to the obtaining of any such consent, approval, waiver or confirmation.

Section 10.14 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 10.15 Offsets, Counterclaims and Defenses.
